Chapter 44 : Zara's Truth
*Lila’s POV*
The ever-elusive Zara Bolstrode, the woman I had only heard about through word of mouth, was standing before me. The power difference was staggering, not just because I was tied to a chair, but because she stood like I was nothing to her, something inconsequential.
She was the one holding all the cards, all the power, and she knew it. It’d be arrogance if it wasn’t painfully true.
Right now, the situation was bad. But not as bad as it could be. I wasn’t dead, yet…which was worrying since that meant Zara had plans for me.
On the other hand, since I wasn’t dead, I could still do something.
I needed to find out what she was planning, where Leo was, and find a way out of this situation.
“You want to talk to me?” I couldn’t help but ask.
After all of this, talking sounded a little surreal, but it wasn’t like a knew her. Everything I knew about Zara Bolstrode was secondhand information, comments, and a split-second moment when she set off a bomb.
