    ZARA AUTHOR POVThe days inside the mansion had turned into a living hell for Zara, but she tried her best to keep going and stay strong. Every morning, she would wake up with a heavy heart, seeing the empty space beside her where Adrian used to sleep. He was always up early, either busy with work or spending time with Serena in the garden, making her feel like a stranger in her own home and in her own marriage—But no matter how hard it got, Zara was not completely alone. Because Carter was there.Carter had become her solid rock and her shield against all the pain. He made sure that he was always nearby, watching out for her, making sure she ate, making sure she was safe. He knew that Adrian was being unreasonable and blind, so he took it upon himself to be the brother and protector that Zara desperately needed.One afternoon, Zara was in the kitchen trying to make herself a cup of tea to calm her nerves. Her hands were shaking slightly because she was feeling so anxious and sad. Sh

    ZARA (AUTHOR POV) The walk back inside the mansion felt like an eternity of torture for Zara. Adrian was dragging her by the arm, his grip so tight it was leaving bruises, and his face was twisted in anger that she had never seen before.He was not looking at her, he was not talking to her, but she could feel the waves of rage coming from him. Every step she took felt heavy, and her heart was beating so fast it felt like it would jump out of her chest. She was crying silently, tears falling down her face like rain, but Adrian did not care. He was too consumed by his anger and his jealousy to see that he was hurting the person he claimed to love.When they entered the ballroom again, all eyes turned to them. People stopped talking and watched the scene unfold. Everyone saw how angry Adrian was, and everyone saw how Zara was being pulled like a naughty child. And standing near the dance floor, looking elegant and worried, was Serena. She was watching them with eyes that pretended to

    ZARA (AUTHOR POV) Carter led Zara out of the noisy and suffocating ballroom and brought her to the peaceful garden where the cool night air could help calm her down. As soon as they were far away from everyone, Zara could no longer hold back her tears and she broke down crying heavily, her whole body shaking with so much pain and heartbreak. Carter immediately handed her his handkerchief and stood beside her looking at her with so much sympathy and anger towards his cousin.“Shhh… it’s okay, Zara. Let it all out,” Carter said softly, patting her back gently to comfort her. “You are not the bad person here, You did nothing wrong. Adrian is just being blind and stupid right now because that woman knows how to manipulate him with her acting. Don't let her win by hurting yourself like this.” Zara wiped her tears but they kept falling nonstop.“Why is he doing this to me, Carter?” she asked in a broken voice. “Why is he so blind? Can’t he s

    ZARA (AUTHOR POV)The tension between the three of them was so thick it could be cut with a knife, and the air in the room felt heavy and suffocating. Zara stood there looking at Adrian, waiting for him to take her side, waiting for him to tell Serena that she was his wife and she deserved respect. But what happened next shattered her world into tiny pieces that she could never put back together again.Serena looked at Adrian with eyes that were suddenly filled with tears, her lower lip trembling as if she was about to cry. “Adrian,” she said in a soft and hurt voice, clutching her dress nervously, “I didn’t mean to cause any trouble or make anyone uncomfortable. I just wanted to come back and see you because I missed you so much. But I can feel that Zara doesn’t like me, and she looks at me with so much anger and hatred. It hurts me so much, Adrian. I never wanted to be a problem for you two. Maybe I should just leave and never come back if my

    ZARA (AUTHOR POV) The moment Serena stepped into their circle, the atmosphere in the room shifted completely, becoming heavy and charged with emotions that were hard to describe. She stood there looking so elegant and perfect, her white gown making her look pure and innocent, but her eyes held a sharp intelligence and determination that Zara could not ignore.Serena turned her charm on full force, smiling warmly at Adrian and acting as if the years of separation meant nothing at all.“You haven’t changed a bit, Adrian,” she said softly, her voice filled with nostalgia and affection. “You are still the most handsome man I have ever known, and you carry yourself with so much power and grace just like before.”Adrian was still holding Zara’s hand tightly, but Zara could feel his fingers slightly tense up hearing those words. He  at Serena and gave a polite but guarded smile. “It is good to see you too, Serena. You look well. I di
