Chapter 61 It Would Destroy Me

• The battle raged on for days, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. But as always, we emerged victorious once again, battered and bruised but stronger than ever. As we hugged each other tightly, I felt a sense of relief wash over me. It seemed like every time we'd faced danger head-on, our love for each other had only grown stronger.
• But this time, something was different. The aftermath of the battle left us reeling-both emotionally and physically. Riccardo was injured badly and had to be hospitalized for weeks.
• Watching him struggle with his injuries, I felt a sense of helplessness that I'd never experienced before. All those memories of us fighting alongside each other quickly faded away into reality, one where we were vulnerable and alone.
