271 Luciana's mother

A/N— *cryptic spoiler alert* I came across comments stating that this is kind of cheating on her fiance Jeremiah. This issue is brought up in my draft chapters already but still, I'd like to explain ahead so that y'all don't reach conclusions. I am strictly against infidelity and I expressed it when Esme kept pushing Aleister away despite her feelings for him. But the moment she regained her memories, equations changed and the engagement with Jer was null and void because she was already engaged to Aleister before (not through the rituals and even under pretense) but they had the blessings of the elders from both their families, and it is counted as half an engagement in their world. The past year in the sea world was built on lies that Esme without memories cared about despite her being wary about everything and everyone. But 'Esme with memories' doesn't give a damn about it.
