章節 95: Awakening

Author's note: This is from Serina's point of view

- - -

Stepping away from Duke was one of the most difficult things I did in my life.

I swallowed down my insecurities and I told myself that I calculated and re-calculated everything numerous times. It will be alright. It has to.

I turned to see that Fynn and Lazarus were waiting for my orders, and then I glanced at the camera.

"I'm ready…", I heard Sergio's anxious voice in my earpiece.

I let out a long breath. "Alright. We are ready. Does anyone want to say anything before we start?"

Fynn and Lazarus shook their heads and I glanced at Duke who gave me a thumbs up.

I threw another glance at the machines that were monitoring Duke's vitals and then I stared at the remote in my hand.

I might be killing the man I love, or changing him forever into someone unrecognizable, but I couldn't allow my doubts to take over now. Not now. Not ever.
