Chapter Forty Two: Elior’s MissionZarina's POVIt was very dark and cold in the evening.The moon was high up in the sky, and the wind blew against the windows softly.My triplets were fast asleep beside me, their tiny chests rising and falling slowly.I pulled the blanket over them so they were cozy.I sat on the bed for a second, just watching them.My heart was heavy.I knew what would happen tonight.Everyone knew.The fight between Asher and Elior.It was going to take place tonight.I bit my lower lip hard, not to cry.I didn't want the babies to wake up.I didn't want them to see their mother frightened and broken.Gingerly, I got up and went to the door.I looked back again at my children."I'll come back to you," I whispered, my voice shaking."I promise."I took a cloak and slipped out of the room quietly.The night air hit my face, cold and sharp.I went as fast as I could but was careful, my heart beating so loudly I thought everyone could hear it.I knew I wasn't suppose

Chapter Forty-Four: A Cold GoodbyeZarina's POVI sat on the ground, cold, behind the trees, my heart still racing from what I had done.My hands wouldn't stop shaking.My chest felt tight like someone had put a tight rope around it.I had poisoned Elior.I had put that strange thing in his drink.I had swapped Asher's cup and saved him.But now… what if someone found out?What if Elior found out?What if they blamed me?Fear crawled up my spine.I wrapped my arms around my knees and pulled them tight against my chest.Tears stung the back of my eyes, but I blinked them back."I had to do it," I whispered to myself."I had to… for Asher.

It was supposed to be a fresh beginning, where we'd finally get to be established as a family. But it ended up feeling like this suffocating pressure on my chest, choking me whenever I breathed.Asher had not spoken to me more than two words since we went inside the house yesterday night. He had been so cold, so aloof. The love in his eyes was absent, and in its place was a hollowness. He treated the triplets so gently, but it was different. It did not feel like he was doing it because he loved me anymore. It felt like it was something he had to do.And knowing that, I was suffering more than I could bear.We were already adjusting to the idea of living in this gigantic mansion. It was to be a refuge, a home where we would create happy memories. But it was too quiet. The silence was deafening. It seemed like every section of the house reminded me of everything that

Chapter Forty N: She CameZarina's POVThe sun filtered through the curtains.I sat in the nursery, cradling my baby boy in my arms.He was so small, so cuddly. His tiny hands were clutching at my dress as if he'd never let me go.I smiled ruefully.At least he still needed me.At least someone still did.In the corner of the room, Asher's mother gently swayed another of the babies in her arms.She didn't glance at me.She hadn't spoken to me that morning.Asher's father was leaning against the window, cradling the third triplet as if he was carrying a sack of groceries, not a baby.There was nothing warm in their expressions, only chilly courtesy.I didn't mind.I tried to comfort myself — "It's all right, Zarina. You have your children. They adore you. That's enough."But deep within, it pained.It pained so excruciatingly that it became hard to breathe sometimes.I carefully shifted my son and placed a soft kiss upon his forehead."You're my everything," I whispered.Then the front

Chapter Fifty : I Broke AgainZarina's POVThe house was too quiet.The triplets were asleep in their cribs, their little chests slowly moving up and down.I was alone in the small guest room, the one I had made my little corner, as much as I could be away from everyone else.The room was cold and lonely, but it was better than being in the big rooms where no one wanted me.I sat down on the floor beside the cribs of the babies, hugging my knees to my chest. I stared at the wall, my heart too painful to endure anymore.I missed the days when I thought that I had a family.I missed the days when Asher would smile at me.Now it was as if I was a ghost.As if I didn't exist to them anymore.A soft moan at the door had me lifting my head slowly.I thought at first it was one of the maids.But when I looked up and saw her standing there — tall, beautiful, perfect — my heart sank.Cara.She smiled pleasantly, but her eyes were full of something evil."Hello, Zarina," she said, coming into
