Chapter 108

Standing in the restroom, my mind swirled with conflicting thoughts as I contemplated my next move. Should I leave? Or play it safe by hiding myself since I have hidden my scent? No! That won’t work. I knew that leaving the wedding reception was the safest option, but the thought of abandoning Donald weighed heavily on my mind. With a deep breath, I resolved to follow through with my decision.

“Leaving is the safest option. I can’t risk exposing myself any further.” I muttered to myself softly.

Emerging from the restroom, my expression was resolute as I approached Donald, who waited anxiously nearby.

“Are you fine now?” He asked, scanning my face to see if I was okay.

“Yes, I am. But I’ll be leaving now.”

“Amelia, what’s wrong? Why do you want to leave?” Concern etched on his face as he stars at me intently.

My resolve wavered slightly as Donald’s pleading gaze met mine. That was what I didn’t want.

“Donald, I appreciate your concern, but I need to go. It’s for the best.” I could tell him about Canthra Minerva, Not when I had no idea how she was related to Moon Shadow and what her aim there was.

Donald reached out to touch my arm, his voice filled with urgency.

“But why? You’ve barely spent any time with me. Could it be that you’re uncomfortable here?” He asked softly with anxiety.

“No, it’s not that, Donald.”

“Please, stay a little longer, then.”

I hesitated a bit, torn between my desire to respect Donald’s invitation and the need to safeguard myself.

“I can’t, Donald. It’s complicated, but trust me, leaving is the right choice.” I said, standing my ground.

Donald’s expression softened as he realized that I wasn’t going back on my words. He stepped back, his eyes

searching mine for answers.

“Okay, I won’t push you. Just… promise me you’ll be safe.”

I nodded, gratitude shining in my eyes as I offered him a small smile.

“I promise. Thank you, Donald.” I said with remorse. Deep down in my mind, I promised to make it up to him but I didn’t say a word about it. With my identity, anything could happen on the spur of the moment and I didn’t want to make promises I wouldn’t fulfill.

With one last glance, I turned and made my way towards the exit, my heart heavy with the weight of my decision but resolved in my determination to protect the most prior thing.
