Chapter 394

~Snow’s POV~

I stiffened as words slammed into me like a punch to the gut.

Jenna.

The comparison stung more than I wanted to admit.

I looked away, my mind spiralling with thoughts.

Zade sighed, shaking his head. "You want to believe she’s a victim. Fine. But you’re too smart not to consider the other possibilities. You owe it to Zara—to yourself—to look deeper."

I swallowed hard, my heart pounding.

But before I could respond, Jupiter scoffed, rubbing a hand down his face. "Look, I don’t even care what happens to Vera at this point. What pisses me off is you." He pointed at me. "You’re standing here, defending some woman you barely know, while the woman who gave you everything is out there hurting."

My breath caught in my throat.

"You have one choice to make, Snow," Xavier said, his voice calm but final. "Fix this. Or lose everything."

The weight of their words settled heavily in my chest. I looked down, exhaling slowly. Because deep down... I knew they were right.

I just needed to find out what the fuck is going on and who exactly Vera is.

~Kaid’s POV

I leaned back against the plush chair in my house in the city, swirling the whisky in my glass as Richard paced the room.

Usually, we stayed in a hotel close to business to ensure things are in order but for relaxation, I normally come to my personal mansion here— a bit at the outskirts.

I looked up, watching Richard continue pacing, his steps heavy, as were his thoughts.

He was clearly frustrated, but that wasn’t my problem. If anything, his frustration only amused me more.

"You’re seriously staying in the city for this?" Richard finally snapped, stopping in front of me with an incredulous look.

I smirked. "Why wouldn’t I? The timing is perfect."

Richard let out a sharp breath, rubbing his face. "Kaid, come on. Zara’s going through hell right now. She just found out Snow—"

"—is an idiot," I finished smoothly, taking a slow sip of my drink. "And if he doesn’t know how to cherish what he has, someone else will."

Richard’s jaw clenched. "That someone else doesn’t have to be you."

I chuckled, shaking my head. "Another man’s meat is another man’s poison, Richard. I’ve always loved Zara. You know that. But I respected their relationship. I backed off when she chose Snow. But now? Now he’s losing her." I tilted my head, watching Richard closely. "And if that happens, why shouldn’t I step in?"

"Because she’s not a damn prize to be won, Kaid!" Richard shot back. "She’s hurting, man. This isn’t the time to take advantage of that."

I exhaled sharply, setting my glass down. "I’m not taking advantage of her. I’m giving her an option. Snow had time to prove himself to her. If he blows it now? That’s on him."

Richard’s expression darkened. "You really think she’s just going to fall into your arms?"
