CHAPTER 23

~Zara's POV~

Luckily, I found my way to Ella's apartment right after my confrontation with Snow but as I made my way up to her apartment, I froze midway.

I blinked, a tear slipping past my eyelids. 

I wiped it off, my eyes glancing at my fingertips. How? Why? 

I sniffed. 

Was I stupid? I had just started my so-called marital life and ran to Ella's comforting arms. I shook my head. My friend couldn't see me like this. 

With no other choice, I turned around and made my way for the entrance, exiting the building. Finding a cab that took me to a hotel, one my family invested in did not take time. 

But my arrival only made things worse. As soon as I paid the cab driver and stepped out of the cab, walking towards the entrance of Hotel Regal, my heart still raced from the emotions Snow had stirred within me.
