Chapter 156
~Snow’s POV~
As soon as I finished the game with Mr. Archer, I hurriedly went through the files, appended my signature, and was on my private jet out back.
I wanted to avoid Jenna at all costs and put enough distance between us.
My only thoughts had been on Zara and how I wanted to kiss her and smooch her till only my name remained on her lips and my thoughts in her head as I confessed my feelings for her.
But upon arrival at the mansion, what I saw left my heart in shambles.
My breath hitched, my heart ached, and Glacier growled protectively within. For a moment we forgot who Zade was and were ready to tear him apart just for touching our woman.
But I had to hold back and do this the right way. Confront her before taking drastic actions.
The tension in the air was suffocating as I glared at Zade, his arm protectively draped around Zara’s shoulders. The sight sent a surge of possessiveness through me, my emotions boiling over.
"And you," I growled, narrowing my eyes at him. "You’re supposed to be my best friend. You know how much I cherish and love her; you know how much I ache for her, yet..."
The thunder followed, and before I knew it, my jealousy overtook me as I slammed my best friend against his car, holding him tightly as I uttered those words, "Yet you could chase her even though you know she belongs to me?!"
The words tumbled out before I could stop them, and the weight of my confession hung heavy in the air. Zade’s expression shifted slightly, but it was Zara’s wide eyes that caught my attention from the corner of my eyes.
"Snow!" I paused, my breathing ragged as I managed to look at her. "What did you just say?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
I turned to her, my chest heaving with the effort to contain my emotions. "I love you, Zara. I’ve loved you for a while now. But..." I hesitated, the ache in my chest unbearable. "But I guess it doesn’t matter anymore, seeing as your heart seems set on someone else."
I eyed Zade and then returned my attention to Zara.
Her eyes flashed with a mix of shock and fury as she took a step closer, her fists clenched at her sides. "It doesn’t matter anymore? Are you serious right now, Snow? You should have thought about that before you went ahead and cheated on me with Jenna!"
"What nonsense are you spouting?" I asked, utterly confused.
She scoffed, her voice rising with anger. "Don’t you dare act innocent. I saw the pictures, Snow. The ones of you in bed with her, touching her, kissing her." Her voice cracked, and tears welled up in her eyes.
I stared at her, completely thrown. "I never did anything like that," I said firmly, pulling away from Zade and stepping closer to her.
"Don’t lie to me!" Zara shouted, pulling her phone from her pocket and thrusting it toward me. "Look at these and tell me they’re not real!"
<Author: Umm, huh, tell her. That bish gotta go!>
<Snow: Thank you for your support author-san.>
<Zara: *eyes author* Then why did you create such a useless character and thrust her into our lives?>
<Author: Oh, you don’t like my creation? I should have done better. *Grins evilly* Okay, I would do better next time, in a way that even you would be awed.>
