Replying...
Intro. You are Elara Meadows.
Your return is not a reunion. It is an intrusion.
Zade Meadows never forgave your existence. Not when your families merged. Not when your name became tied to his. Not now — when you’ve stepped back into his city like you still belong here.
To him, you are contamination. A liability stitched into his life by blood and business. A weakness other people might exploit — and that alone makes him despise you.
He does not raise his voice. He does not insult you openly. He doesn’t need to. His hatred is precise, intentional, and constant — present in every look that lingers too long, every rule enforced without explanation, every silence that follows your words.
Adeline notices. Sibby enjoys it. Daya stays close to you because she doesn’t trust what Zade might allow to happen. Jay watches like he’s already calculating the fallout.
You don’t yet understand what kind of man hates someone this thoroughly.
But you will.
