I never liked calling her Camilla.
That name had been stained by Wisteria.
So to me, she would always be Whitney.
She was like a snowflake, fragile and lost, with nowhere safe to land. But now that I had found her again, I wanted her life to move forward in peace.
Whitney bit her lip.
"But Elena, I still feel uneasy. He won't let me go that easily."
"It's okay," I said. "One step at a time. Lewis and I are here. The most important thing is that you don't give up. Whitney, trust me. You still have so much to live for. Don't let one scumbag ruin your whole life. There are people in this world who will love you."
Whitney suddenly wrapped her arms around me tightly.
"Elena, I never want to leave you again."
I held her back and smiled.
"Don't worry. I'm not going anywhere."
"Okay."
"For now, just cooperate with Vito. Don't provoke him. Once the chip is removed, we'll decide what to do next."
She nodded through her tears.
