Chapter 15

• Roberta POV
• In my sleep, memories of the past kept flashing through my mind.Life at home as a child, training with friends, laughing together. Alston was like a brother to me, always looking out for me. He was so dependable and trusted. Now, however, it all seems so strange and distant.
• Once, I woke from a deep sleep and heard footsteps not far away. The footsteps were heavy and slow, as if with some kind of pressure. I held my breath and tried to raise my head to see who was coming. A tall figure appeared in front of the iron railings. It was Marcus. His face was hidden in shadow, and his expression was not clear.
