Chapter 713 - Chapter 713 A Trace Of Liam

Irina stood up and turned toward the window, her eyes settling on the darkening sky outside. The rain had finally begun to ease, leaving behind a dampness that clung to the rooftops and the narrow streets of Elaris. The last traces of daylight were disappearing behind the distant mountains, and the village was slowly preparing to surrender itself to another night. From where she stood, she could see a few villagers returning to their homes, carrying baskets and pulling their doors shut against the lingering chill. Everything looked ordinary, almost peaceful, but Irina knew better than to trust that appearance. Beneath the quiet streets and familiar houses lay fifteen years of secrets, and somewhere in that darkness, Liam was waiting for her to find him.
