Claudia POV
A loud gasp came out of my mouth as I opened my eyes abruptly. My breath became labored as I wiped the cold sweat off my temple.
"Why did I dream of that again?" I muttered as my eyes stared straight at the cream-colored ceiling.
The last time I dreamt of that was about ten years ago, when I broke up with Ray. It was a nightmare that went away after I married Miles, perhaps because I was content with my life for ten years despite all the struggles, thinking that my family was perfect and able to withstand any storm.
But now that my family has been destroyed by a storm called Clarissa, does that mean the nightmare will come back regularly?
I gritted my teeth, thinking about enduring nights where my own mother told me that my existence was a mistake.
Unfortunately, that nightmare wasn't something made up. My mother did say those words on her deathbed, and it haunted me into adulthood.
