Nestor's voice echoed with a mixture of anguish and frustration as he poured out his heart, "How can you say that, Carmela? What about me?"He sat alone in the humble hut, the silence around him punctuated only by the faint rustle of leaves outside. It had been more than a week since Carmela had departed Eldoria with Martin, leaving Nestor to grapple with his emotions and thoughts in solitude.Carmela's voice, filled with its own turmoil, responded from afar, "I'm struggling too, Nestor. But I hope you can understand the complexity of my situation and the sacrifices I've had to make for the sake of us and our child."The weight of her words hung heavily in the air, mingling with the uncertainty that clouded Nestor's mind. He couldn't help but wonder how they had reached this point, where their love seemed entangled in a web of challenges and sacrifices.Carmela's voice trembled with the weight of her struggle, her words echoing the depth of her pain.

Carmela showed no signs of resistance toward Nestor. Instead, she returned his passionate embrace with equal fervor. They did not stop, their bodies moving together in time with the heavy downpour outside. Amid the vast forest, they were free to express the heat of their desire for each other, especially his for her. He didn't know how long he could continue to wait for her. How long he could endure their secret relationship? But whenever he thought about the consequences of making their relationship public, fear gripped him. Carmela's every touch and kiss reassured him, but the thought of the potential fallout from their clandestine love always lingered at the back of his mind. He longed for a time when they wouldn't have to hide when he could openly claim her as his own without fear of reprisal or separation. As they lay entwined, with the rain serving as their only witness, Nestor's resolve wavered. He wanted nothing more than to stay in this moment forever, where the world

The waves lapped gently against the shore as Clarissa sat on her favorite rock, a large boulder where she often sought refuge. She smiled as she gazed out at the seemingly endless expanse of water. Effortlessly, she lifted her beautiful tail, its color mirroring the sky. The gentle shimmer of her scales in the sunlight cast a dazzling array of colors, creating a mesmerizing spectacle that never failed to captivate her.This spot held a special place in Clarissa's heart. Ever since she transformed into a mermaid at the tender age of seven, she had frequented this place. The memory of that transformation was still vivid—how the waves had embraced her and the sea had claimed her as its own. This rocky outcrop became her sanctuary, a place where she could sit undisturbed, lost in her thoughts and the rhythm of the ocean.Clarissa cherished this spot.

Victoria chose to remain silent. She knew Nestor had more to say. She was sure of it."I'm not sure if I'm still the right person for you, Victoria," he said, his voice tinged with sorrow.Victoria felt the deep anguish in Nestor's voice. He wasn't looking at her, but she knew he was going through something heavy because the weight of his emotions was evident in every word he uttered. His eyes, normally so full of life, were now clouded with pain and uncertainty."I'm happy that Lucas came into your life, Victoria," the man said, turning to look at her with eyes that seemed to search her soul.He stared straight into her eyes and then spoke again. Honestly, in everything she saw now, even if the man said nothing, she would still understand what he wanted to convey to her. His gaze was intense, filled with a mixture of sadness and resignation."It's good because you'll have someone with you. Someone to take care of you when you grow old," he continued, surprising her with the unexpecte

Victoria's heart pounded loudly as she traversed the forest that Loleng had directed her to. The canopy overhead formed a patchwork of shadows and light, casting an eerie glow on the forest floor. According to her mother, this is where she would find Nestor. Though she didn't fully understand what her mother meant, she followed her instructions nonetheless.As a witch, Victoria knew that Loleng had the ability to monitor anyone she wanted to keep an eye on. Perhaps this was what she had done with Nestor. The thought made Victoria's skin prickle with unease, imagining the mystical powers at her mother's disposal."In the middle of that forest, Nestor built a hut. Inside a small box, you'll find the answers to all your questions, my child. I just want you to prepare yourself because I know it won't be easy for you."Remembering Loleng's words only intensified the worry and fear in Victoria's heart. Her breaths came in shallow gasps, the anxiety wrapping around her chest like a vice. The
