My mother, in the sweltering heat of summer, climbed the arduous path to a mountaintop church.
She was nearly unconscious by the time she obtained this necklace, driven solely by her desire to save me.
It was as if the heavens themselves were moved by her devotion.
Miraculously, I woke up from my coma, but my mother paid the price with her health.
On her deathbed, she entrusted me with that necklace, insisting I safeguard it.
I had cherished that necklace dearly ever since I was a child. It had been my constant companion, always close to my heart.
It was more than just a piece of jewelry. It was a lifeline, a connection to my mother, and I would never let anyone harm it.
"Just try to take it from me, and I'll make sure it's destroyed!" Felicity taunted.
Before I could react, she hurled the necklace to the ground.
The sound of shattering pieces echoed in my ears as the pendant splintered into countless pieces, scattering across the pavement.
"No!"
My heart dropped, a knife twisting in my chest as I watched the only thing my mother had left me disintegrate before my eyes.
I gasped for breath, feeling the world close in around me.
"You're a monster!" I couldn't hold back any longer.
