Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband (Aria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 610

Chapter 610 A Flicker Of Hope
I woke up in my bed, panting and breathing heavily. My heart raced so fast that I could feel it pounding in my ears. What was that I just saw? Was it another vision? And what did it mean?

Sitting on the bed with my legs bent and knees pulled close to my chest, I rested my arms on them, trying to steady myself. I took a deep breath to calm my mind, running my fingers through my hair, but nothing seemed to help. My entire belief system felt fragile, teetering on the edge of uncertainty, leaving me questioning what was real and whom I could trust.

Author’s POV

Unknown to Selena, the High Priestess observed her through the narrow creak of the door. She slowly shut it, but the slight motion caught Selena's eye. Her gaze darted to the door, only to find it still and empty. Convincing herself it was just her imagination, she lay back on the bed, pulling the covers up to her chin. She clutched the fabric tightly, as if it were her only anchor in a storm of uncertainty, staring blankly at the ceiling. Slowly, exhaustion overcame her, and her eyelids grew heavy until they finally closed.

Outside Selena’s room, the High Priestess lingered for a moment before retreating silently down the corridor. She stepped out of the castle and continued walking until, with each step, a glowing staircase appeared in the air, leading her upward into the dark sky. The steps behind her vanished as she ascended toward a luminous spot in the heavens. Finally, she stood before the ethereal presence of the Moon Goddess.

“Goddess, how long do I have to see my daughter suffer?” the High Priestess knelt before the Moon Goddess, her voice heavy with emotion. “Is it truly necessary to put her through all this?”

“It is necessary,” the Moon Goddess’s serene voice echoed softly, like the rustling of leaves. “And you knew it from the beginning.”

The High Priestess lowered her head, her expression shadowed with sorrow. “I’ve known it since the day she was born. But sometimes, a mother’s heart struggles to bear the weight of watching her child endure so much.”

“It is her destiny,” the Moon Goddess replied with calm certainty. “She was born to save the universe and the Lunar Realm. For that, she must make the ultimate sacrifice.”
