chapter 51

Sierra pov..

Alex called me a witch and now sees me as an enemy. The words cut deep, leaving me feeling hurt and unsure of what to do or say. I long for her to see the truth, to understand that Lexi is not who she thinks he is.

Lost in my thoughts, I find myself standing outside, gazing up at the sky. Just when I thought I had found happiness, he had to find me. If I don't leave, he will harm this wonderful family. Fear grips me, and I can't bear the thought of that happening.

Lost in my despair, a hand gently touches my shoulder. I turn to see John, his eyes filled with concern.

"I'm sorry, John. I'm sorry I lied to you and your family," I confess, my voice filled with shame. I feel worthless, knowing that because of me, this family is falling apart.

John pulls me closer, his hands wrapping around my waist, and rests my head on his chest.
