Chapter Hundred twenty-five

Anita POV

I won’t lie—last night was pure chaos. The meeting, the arguments, Luna Nora confronting me—it all felt overwhelming. I thought about it as I lay in bed, staring up at the ceiling. What a whirlwind my life had become. I was exhausted, mentally and physically. But what choice did I have other than to brace myself and keep going?

Even as the new day arrived, I woke up early out of habit, but with nothing to do now, it felt strange. The reality was unsettling. I used to fill my days with endless tasks, but now, all I could do was wait around to be summoned, wait for the maids to come in and dress me. It was a constant reminder of the unwanted role I’d been given.

When the maids arrived, they shot me looks of irritation, and some even rolled their eyes, as if I’d stolen something precious from them. But I ignored it. I was living the life I had once dreamed of, even if it came with hostility from nearly everyone around me. But the truth was, this life was a double-edged sword.
