CHAPTER 407
~Zara's POV~
The pain in my ribs was dull now, fading away as I walked down the dirt road toward my wrecked car.
The bastard had dented the hood and cracked the windscreen. I hated it because it was Snow's gift to me. One of the things I cherished greatly.
I sighed and entered the car. Luckily, when I twisted the key in the ignition, the engine sputtered to life.
"Lucky me."
I exhaled slowly, gripping the wheel tightly as I drove the familiar road toward Snow's mansion.
The entire drive, my mind reeled. The attack hadn't been random. It was carefully planned and coordinated.
And somehow, I knew that Shadow Clave wasn't done with me yet, especially now that I had survived.
By the time I reached the mansion gates, my knuckles had turned white from gripping the wheel. The guards recognised me instantly, their gazes flickering between me and the battered state of my car before waving me through.
I didn't wait for someone to escort me inside.
