Forbidden Heat novel Chapter 322

The shocked expression on his face was priceless. I guess my surprise worked extraordinarily well. Never even in his wildest dreams, would Reiner expect to see me here and like this. This is all thanks to Zak’s genius of an idea. When Zak proposed this option to me, I couldn’t believe how crazy it was.

The crazier thing was that I accepted even without thinking twice. Although I was overly worried about leaving Zak, I still decided to do it. It was like it was the most natural option for me. I chose to jump on this plane so that I could be with Reiner without considering anything or anyone else.

**Around a Week Ago**

“I’m about to say something pretty crazy, but will you hear me out?” Zak asked as he stared deeply in to my eyes.

“…Sure…” I replied.

I had no idea what Zak was about to say but his next words left me reeling back in shock. Zak smiled at me a little before he bit on his lower lips to gather his thoughts and prepare his next words carefully. My eyes were glued to his prince-like face as I waited eagerly to hear what it was that he wanted to say.

“Natalia, what about you stop being a Rosenhall?” Zak suggested before smiling brilliantly at me.

What does that even mean?

“What? I don’t…understand…” I managed to say in a shaky voice after I had recovered from my initial shock.

“Do you want to be with Reiner?” Zak asked knowingly.

“Zak…is something wrong?” I asked, not sure why Zak was saying these things.

“Do you or do you not?” Zak asked as his eyes glared at me, demanding for an answer.

I closed my eyes and sighed. There was no point denying it. Zak probably already knows the answer anyways.

“Yes…” I replied in short.

“Good. Perfect…” Zak said with relief.

His reaction couldn’t have confused me more. Why was he relief that I wanted to be with someone else?

“What?” I said in shock.

“Listen. You have to get out of here. Far far away from the Rosenhalls,” Zak said as his hands gripped my shoulders firmly.

He’s going to send me away? Where? Why?

“What about you? What will you do?” I asked worriedly.

“Don’t worry about me. Worry about yourself, Natalia. Never worry about me,” Zak said firmly.

“No…that’s…” I began saying.

“You want to go, right? Then just go. Don’t worry about anything. I’ll help you. I’ve already found a way to get you out. If you tell me that you’re willing to go, I’ll work everything out for you…” Zak said passionately.
