Last night at the hospital, after leaving Zinnia's room, Samuel lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, lost in thought. His mind wandered between the complexities of his life and the woman who had always been at its center—Zinnia. She was the one person who made him feel something deeper than any business victory or financial gain.
As he turned over in bed, his resolve hardened. No more holding back. He had kept his emotions locked away for too long, hiding behind work and responsibilities. But everything had changed.
He made a decision—he would show Zinnia how he truly felt. He wanted her to understand how much he cared and valued her. He would help her find James if it came to that; he had promised her as much. But he wouldn't just stand by and watch her slip away.
James might have the company, but he couldn't have Zinnia. She was his—his Goddess Zia.
