Chapter 440 By Her Side

• Ariana's POV:
• The weekend had arrived, and Stefan had planned a short getaway, eager to get me out of the house and into the fresh air.
• We drove toward a quiet, semi-rural area. From the car, I watched golden waves of wheat stretch endlessly beneath the bright blue sky. The faint, winding concrete road sliced through the fields, barely visible, like a forgotten thread weaving through nature's fabric. The air felt crisp, untouched by the city's pollution. I had no idea such a serene place existed just outside Grimsdale.
