Chapter 395

~Zara’s POV~

Kaid’s eyes flickered with something—surprise, maybe even admiration. "So, you’re really going independent?"

I nodded. "I need something that’s mine. Something that isn’t tied to his success."

"Huh, in case you haven’t noticed—not so secret. You are still tied to him or it, the business. Snow is dangerous."

"Yes, he is, but only to those who warrant that danger."

"Urgh, really?"

"Yes. Why?"

Kaid tapped his fingers against the table thoughtfully. "Nothing? I respect that—your independence."

I smiled slightly. "Good. Because I meant it."

Kaid leaned forward slightly, resting his forearms on the table. "And what about everything else? The personal side of things?"

I exhaled slowly, looking away. "I don’t know yet."

Kaid was quiet for a moment before nodding. "Fair enough."

He studied me for a second longer, then smirked. "Still... if you ever change your mind about that job, you know where to find me."

I rolled my eyes. "Not happening, Kaid."

He chuckled, standing up and stretching. "We’ll see."

I watched him, shaking my head with amusement. "You’re impossible."

"And you like me anyway," he teased.

I scoffed, but I couldn’t help the small smile that played on my lips.

As Kaid walked off, I leaned back in my chair, staring out the window.

I had choices.

I had options.

And for the first time in a long time... I was going to choose myself.

But just as I reached for my phone, a thought crossed my mind. "Hmm, but maybe just maybe I can play a game too."

My gaze drifted to Kaid as he got to his car and unlocked it, a small smile spreading on my lips.

It had been days since I had last seen Snow. Days filled with restless nights, unanswered questions, and a burning ache in my chest that I refused to acknowledge. _{freёweɓnovel.com}

I had given him time. Given myself time. But there was no point in delaying the inevitable any longer.

This needed to end.

I tapped my fingers against my phone screen, hesitating for only a second before sending the message.

Zara: We need to meet. It’s time to finalise our divorce.

I stared at the text, watching the delivered notification appear, but I didn’t wait for a response.

I already knew what was coming.

Seconds later, my phone buzzed—Snow was calling me.

I let it ring.

And ring and ring.

I clenched my jaw, watching as his name flashed on the screen. But I didn’t pick up. Not this time. What was required was action.

~Snow’s POV~

The moment I saw Zara’s message, my entire body went rigid.

Divorce. She wasn’t joking.

The word felt like a damn blade to the chest.

I called her instantly. She didn’t pick up. I tried again.

Voicemail.

"Dammit, Zara," I growled under my breath, gripping my phone tightly.

"Sir, your wife is already in your office. She’s waiting for you."

She let out a bitter laugh. "And yet, you let another woman be your mate."

"You can’t have your cake and eat it too, Snow. You were greedy. You wanted me, but you still kept her." She took a step closer, and this time, I was the one who stepped back. "I will never share my mate with another woman. Ever."

My entire body froze.
