Chapter 753
Philip stepped forward, his voice quiet but firm. "She's telling the truth. She didn't know this would happen. None of us did."Wilfreda whirled on him. "And you? You knew what Steven was planning. You knew he was going to sacrifice himself. And you said nothing."Philip flinched. "I did what I thought was right.""You were wrong," Wilfreda said, her voice breaking. "You were wrong, and now my father and my brother are trapped in a place we can't reach. And it's your fault."Philip had no response. He just stood there, his face pale, his heart heavy.Christopher stepped forward, his voice cutting through the tension like a blade."Stop. All of you."The room fell silent. Everyone turned to look at him—Wilfreda with her eyes blazing, Philip with his face pale, Julia still sobbing on the floor, Seraphina standing apart with her arms crossed."This isn't the time to fight," Christopher said, his voice steady. "This is the time to reason. As a family."Wilfreda opened her mouth to protest
Chapter 752
Steven stepped through the door, into the Veil.The world beyond was strange—a place of shifting shadows and impossible colors, of whispers and echoes and forgotten dreams. The air was thick with something that wasn't quite air, and the ground beneath his feet felt solid and insubstantial all at once. He saw figures in the distance—lost souls, wandering in the void, their faces blank, their eyes empty. He saw Gerald, standing on the edge of the light, his form translucent, his expression peaceful.And he saw Chance.His son stood at the center of it all, his eyes closed, his body still. He looked peaceful—almost as if he were sleeping. But Steven knew better. He knew the truth. Chance was trapped here, suspended between life and death, waiting to be saved."Chance!" Steven called out, his voice echoing through the void.Chance opened his eyes. He saw his father, standing in the light. Tears streamed down his face."Dad? What are you—how are you—"Steven crossed to him, pulling him i
Chapter 751
Steven met Julia's gaze, his heart pounding. He could see the fear in her eyes, the suspicion, the desperate need to understand. She knew him too well—she always had. She could read him like a book, and right now, that book was filled with lies.He knew what he was about to do would hurt her if she finds out. He knew it would break her but he also knew that in the scale of priority, Julia would be happier if Chance was alive than if he was.Moreover, Chance still has a whole future ahead of him, and as a father, the best thing he could do was to make sure his son lives the life that he was meant to live even if it meant trading places with him."Nothing," he said, forcing a smile. "I'm just worried about Chance. We need to hurry."Julia studied him for a long moment. Then, slowly, she nodded."Okay," she said quietly. "I trust you."Steven pulled her into his arms, holding her tight. He hated lying to her. He hated the deception, the manipulation, the way he was using her love for him
Chapter 750
Seraphina fell silent, her rage spent. The fire in her eyes flickered, then dimmed, replaced by something else—something that looked almost like exhaustion. She had been angry for so long. She had been hurt for so long. And now, standing in the crumbling parking lot of an abandoned church, she felt the weight of it all pressing down on her like a physical force.She looked at Steven—really looked at him. She saw the desperation in his eyes, the lines of worry etched into his face, the way his hands trembled slightly at his sides. This was a man who had lost so much. A man who had sacrificed everything for his family. A man who was willing to do anything—anything—to save his son.She thought of her own father—the man who had abandoned her, the man who had never loved her, the man who had left her to fend for herself in a world that didn't care. She thought of the emptiness that had lived in her heart for as long as she could remember. The longing. The need to be loved. The desperation
Chapter 749
The car hummed through the dark, empty streets of the city. The aftermath of the undead army's attack was everywhere—burned buildings, abandoned cars, debris scattered across the roads like the bones of a fallen giant. The streetlights flickered, their glow weak and uncertain, as if they too were recovering from the darkness that had consumed the city.Neither man spoke for a long while, each lost in his own thoughts. The weight of what they were about to do pressed down on them like a physical force—heavy, suffocating, inescapable.Philip stared out the window, watching the ruined city pass by in a blur. He thought of Seraphina—her face when she had realized what he had done. The betrayal. The pain. The shattering of something fragile and precious. He had done that. He had caused that pain. And now he was going to face her again.Steven gripped the steering wheel, his knuckles white. He thought of Chance—his son, his heir, his hope for the future. He thought of Chloe, of the wedding
Chapter 748
"I'm talking about you. About me. About Gary. About the entire family." She paused, her voice softening. "We've been so busy blaming ourselves—and each other—that we've forgotten what really matters. We've forgotten that we're stronger together than we are apart."Philip shook his head. "Susan, I don't—""Listen to me," she interrupted, her voice firm. "You've been sitting in this room for days, drowning in guilt over what you did to Seraphina. I understand. I do. But you can't change the past. None of us can. What we can do is move forward. Together."Philip's eyes glistened. "But what I did—""What you did, you did for your family," Susan said. "You did it to save Chance, Christopher, and Wilfreda. You did it to protect the people you love. And yes, it hurt Seraphina. It hurt you. But it also saved lives."She reached out and took his hand, her grip firm."Chance is gone. Or he's lost. We don't know. But what we do know is that the family needs us. All of us. Not just the ones who a
