Ava stared at the casket as it was slowly lowered into the ground, her heart heavy with grief. But it wasn't just sorrow that consumed her. Standing on the opposite side of the grave was Serena, and the sight of her ignited a storm of fury within Ava. Despite the tears stinging her eyes, the hatred coursing through her veins at Serena's audacity to be here shook her to the core.
How dare she come here. This was her father's final resting place, a sacred moment meant for those who truly loved and respected him. Yet, there Serena was, her presence like a cruel mockery of the life he had lived and the death he had suffered all because of her and her family. Ava's fists clenched tightly at her sides, her nails biting into her palms as her rage built. She couldn't bear to stand by any longer. She was not supposed to be here!
