Maria’s grip on my hand tightened.
“I know you’re carrying wounds. But you don’t have to bear the consequences of anyone else’s choices. Your father and grandfather had their plans for the family. Luca chose bloodline and responsibility. Ophelia chose the place she wanted to steal.”

After that, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
I sat at her bedside until night had fully fallen, then left the hospital.
There was a message from Dante on my phone.
*I’ll pick you up at eight tomorrow morning.*
