Chapter 154
~Zara’s POV~
Andrew took a step back, muttering under his breath. "I’ll just... leave you two to it."
My mind raced as I stared at Zade, my breath catching. Whatever he was about to say, I knew it was going to change everything.
His words hung heavy in the air, suffocating the tension between us.
"What do you mean, something I need to know?" I asked cautiously, keeping my voice low. The storm of emotions from the pictures, Snow’s betrayal, and now this new twist left me shaken.
Zade looked at me. His eyes were filled with sadness and soemthing else, soemthing hard. "You’re my sister, Zara. You’re my lost sister."
I blinked at him, then let out a small laugh—one that sounded hollow even to my own ears. "What kind of joke is this?" I said, my voice trembling despite my attempt to stay composed.
"It’s not a joke," Zade replied, his tone steady but laced with pain.
"Stop." I shook my head as a bitter chuckle escaped me. "This isn’t funny, Zade. I have a family. A dad, a mum, and a brother. I know my family. Sorry, but your joke’s expensive—we’re not related."
