“Do you know why your aunts lived such long lives? Because they married men with sacred bloodlines, strong enough to defy death itself.”
“Your 25th birthday is tomorrow. You’re gambling with your life!” Tears welled in Daisy’s eyes.
“Sienna, we never lied to you. Your third aunt didn’t die in a car crash, she was cursed.”
“You were born into the Langford Family. Your life isn’t just yours, it carries the weight of generations. You have no freedom when it comes to love.”
But Sienna remained on her knees, stubborn and unmoved.
“I would rather die young than spend my life with someone I don’t love. Better a short life than living like a corpse.”
I watched her quietly, a sudden clarity settling over me. She had been reborn too. And like me, she had made her choice: she would rather defy fate than surrender to it.
Realizing she wouldn’t budge, Anthony turned his wrath on me.
“Lucas! So you never planned to marry Sienna in the first place? You used an adopted son to trick us? How shameless can the Everhart Family get?”
“If you don’t give us a proper explanation today, your family will be ruined in Ashbourne!”
