Chapter 372

~Zara’s POV~

Dr. Pierce had developed cutting-edge biometric security solutions that were nearly impossible to hack or bypass. If anyone could make sure the Zephyr Eco-Hub was impenetrable, it was her.

Without hesitating, I pressed call.

The line rang twice before her familiar, crisp voice answered. "Zara Zephyr. It’s been a while."

I smiled. "Evelyn, I need your expertise. I’m working on something big, and security is a top priority." _{ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom}

There was a brief pause, then she responded, "I’m listening."

I quickly explained the project, detailing my vision and how I wanted biometric security and AI-monitored surveillance systems to be integrated into the infrastructure.

Dr. Pierce let out an impressed hum. "You’re thinking ahead, Zara. This could change the way cities operate. I like it."

"Will you help?" I asked, hopefully.

She chuckled. "I’d be insulted if you didn’t ask me to."

Relief flooded through me. "Perfect. I’ll set up a meeting with you and my team to go over the details tomorrow."

"Send me the specs, and I’ll start running simulations," she replied. "Oh, and Zara?"

"Yeah?"

"With everything you’ve been through, I have a feeling that this isn’t just about a project for you, is it?"

I hesitated. She wasn’t wrong. This wasn’t just about business.

It was about control. About making sure no one—whether a witch, a rogue, or a corrupt leader—ever had the power to bring chaos to my world again.

I smirked slightly. "It’s about making the world a safer place, Evelyn."

Dr. Pierce laughed. "You’ve always been a force of nature, Zara. I’ll be in touch soon."

As I ended the call, I leaned back in my chair, my heart racing with excitement.

This was it.

The Zephyr Eco-Hub will be more than just a business project—it will be a legacy. And I was going to make damn sure it succeeded.

Just one problem... How was I going to defeat my witchy problem once and for all?

~Vera’s POV~

After Ella left, I redirected all my energy toward Zara. Each summoning ritual I performed was carefully designed to weaken her slowly from the inside out.

It was tedious, yeah, and required a lot of patience, as I aimed to drain her spirit gradually.

With each ritual, I made her body more vulnerable, all without her noticing what was happening to her.

The plan was progressing smoothly, and with Ella and Snow gone, there was no one to interfere.

Everything was going according to plan...

Until now.

It had been two days since Ella had left, but now she was coming back.

I had overheard the chauffeur mention it earlier, casually talking about preparing her room and making sure everything was in place for her return.

As soon as I heard those words, I felt a sudden wave of irritation pass through me, almost like a sharp jolt that made my skin prickle and my heart race.

It was as if every nerve in my body reacted instinctively to the statement, making me feel deeply unsettled.

"That girl just won’t stay gone."

"Ella is too much trouble. I have to get rid of her while I still have the chance. But for now, I’ll stay out of sight. I can’t risk her remembering."
