Chapter 94

~Snow’s POV~

I was pacing my office when my phone vibrated, lighting up with a message from Dare Devil. Finally.

"I’ve gathered intel on Zara’s family crisis. How do you proceed, Boss? Kill or..."

A smirk formed on my lips. Dare Devil’s bluntness wasn’t lost on me; honestly, I’d have had zero hesitation in taking such advice in the past.

"Good," I typed back. "And here’s my take—end all of them and burn the documents. That’s the cleanest option."

But Zara’s world wasn’t built that way; these were still her family members, her connections—even if they were too entangled with Ivan’s treacherous web.

I sighed, my shoulders slumping as I took a mental step back to reevaluate.

I dialled Dare Devil’s number, taking a seat as he picked up immediately. "Snow," he greeted, his voice as smooth as ever, cutting through the line like a sharp blade.

"You have the names?" I asked, skipping the pleasantries. "I need every one of them. Every deal, every lie, every account they’ve laundered their stolen money through."

"It’s all in the encrypted folder I sent. The financial trail is simple once you see it, and it doesn’t paint a pretty picture." Dare Devil’s tone remained neutral, detached. "They’re tied up with offshore accounts, shell corporations, and hidden deals. And Ivan’s pull is undeniable."

"Of course," I muttered, pinching the bridge of my nose as I absorbed the enormity of it.

Ivan’s reach had always been expansive, but I never guessed he’d target Zara’s family with such precision. The motive was obvious—control her, control her family’s business, and ensure he had his claws firmly in place. "Any evidence connecting him directly?"

"A few subtle leads," Dare Devil replied. "They’ll hold in court, but it’s tenuous. He’s covered his tracks well."

Frustration churned in my gut. "And the family?"

"Deep in it, like you thought. But listen..." Dare Devil hesitated, an odd pause for someone usually so calculating. "If Zara’s determined to go up against him, it’ll take time. Even with Blake in her corner. He’s cautious—he won’t rush this."

Blake.

So, he was more involved than I’d assumed. It wasn’t lost on me that Zara had gone to him for help.

And as much as I respected her independence, she couldn’t just navigate a battlefield like this without backup.

"Fine," I said finally. "Send me the list. I’ll figure out who’s in Ivan’s pocket and who’s salvageable."

"Understood," Dare Devil replied. "The files are incoming."

As the line clicked off, I leaned back in my chair, the screen on my laptop flashing as files populated my inbox.

~Zara’s POV~

Finally, he pulled back, his face mere inches from mine, his eyes dark and intense. "You’re mine, Zara. Do you understand?"

I blinked, thrown by the raw possessiveness in his gaze. "Snow... what are you doing here?"

He chuckled dryly, the sound feeling cold, detached and dangerous. "That’s what I should be asking you, don’t you think? Why didn’t you come to me first? Or are you finding other men better at... satisfying you?"

The accusation stung, and without thinking, I raised my hand to slap him. His reflexes were too fast, though—he caught my wrist mid-air, pulling me in close until I was flush against him, his grip firm but gentle.

His other hand found my chin, tilting my face to meet his gaze. "You belong to me, Zara. No one else."

My heart thudded against my chest, frustration boiling over. "Let go of me, Snow. I have unfinished business with Ivan."

His grip only tightened, his gaze never wavering. "You have no business with him anymore. That’s over."

The sudden vibration of my phone interrupted the heated standoff. Snow’s gaze flicked to it, his hand still around my wrist. "Answer it," he commanded.

I looked at the screen and saw Elias’ name flashing. Confused, I accepted the call. "Elias?"

"Zara! You won’t believe it!" he shouted, his voice filled with relief. "We’re saved! Our funds are back, and Ivan’s leverage is gone. It’s like it never happened! Zara, you can come home now!"

Stunned, I could only nod, my mind racing as the call disconnected. Before I could process it, Snow took the phone from my hand, his dark eyes fixed on me.

"You... You did this?"
