Villain Ch 2041. Epilogue [Part 1]
Five years passed.
It felt unreal sometimes.
Not just the time, but how much life could change in it. How much love could settle in your bones when you stopped fighting it. How much peace could become the norm when once all you knew was tension.
Allen had worked hard for this life.
He didn't get here by accident.
It was built on effort. Chaos. Risk. Growth. Forgiveness. And mostly… love.
Love he never had before. Not like this.
Not the kind that waited for him to come home. Not the kind that filled a house with laughter and little feet pattering down the hall. Not the kind that crawled into his arms in the middle of the night just because.
It wasn't perfect. But it was his.
The world outside kept turning, sure. Not everyone made it out like he did.
Sophia never recovered.
