Chapter 142

• Chapter 142: Healing the Past
• Elena’s POV
• The vineyard was quiet, peaceful even, as I wandered through the rows of vines, the golden hue of the late afternoon sun casting long shadows across the land. It felt as though time had slowed, just for a moment, to allow me to breathe and gather my thoughts. There was a weight on my heart today, a lingering sense of unease I couldn’t shake, no matter how hard I tried. I had always prided myself on my ability to stay grounded, to face challenges head-on, but today felt different. Today, I had to face something deeper, something that had been buried for far too long.
