Chapter Eleven

#vote#! This chapter tore something open in me.The moment when Killian holds the wrong child—and sees the truth standing right in front of him—was a scene I’ve carried in my mind for months. It’s a turning point. A fracture in time. A secret no longer hidden. Estela’s panic, Killian’s shock, Paisley’s innocence… all of it is real. Messy. Human.Thank you for reading this far. For feeling every beat with me.The story is only beginning.Hold your breath—because what comes next will change everything.— With love, MARALTO
