Author Note

This second part of their story takes place fourteen years later. Time has passed, but pain leaves long echoes. The scars have deepened, the silence has grown louder, and the ghosts… they’ve only become more real.
Book Two isn’t just a continuation—it’s a reckoning. The choices they made, the love they buried, the truths they ran from—are no longer hiding in the dark. Everything is about to unravel.

— With heart and shadows,
Zara
