Chapter 81 Special Request

• *Sylvester’s POV*
• Two years without Stradanie have been torturous. How is it that I still cannot find her? I forfeited celebrating my birthday this year, choosing instead to spend it alone on the family island. In the tranquillity of this serene place, I sought rehabilitation and time for reflection.
• Everything in my life was proceeding according to plan except for two glaring absences: Stradanie and Borne. I couldn’t even entertain the thought of other women anymore, except for my beloved mother. She was the epitome of virtue and grace, the only woman worthy of admiration. Even Lilly, my own flesh and blood, could never measure up to her standard.
