"Really?"
Will Killian ever forgive me?
It was true that I was compelled to betray him, kill him, and plunge that dagger into his heart. Yet the decision was still mine to make. I chose my brother's life over his. I shattered his heart, broke his trust, and extinguished his hope before taking everything he had left.
It was all my decision.
I couldn't simply cleanse my hands of guilt with water and claim I played no part in Killian's death because Rhys forced me. I was partially responsible for his death.
"No, Amelia, you don't understand," I sighed, shaking my head in frustration. "You weren't there. You didn't see the way he looked at me at that moment... Even if I was forced to kill him, the decision was still mine to make. I chose to kill him, and no truth, no fact can change that."
"But Amara, you..."
