Chapter 197
Kiara sat in silence, waiting for the moment someone would remember and come to her. It was all that she could do since there wasn’t a window she could get out of to run away.
She knew there were guards outside who wouldn’t hesitate to kill her because of Zayne’s order so she was not stupid to approach them. There was the option of seducing them since it worked well for others but she could not bring herself to stoop so low.
There was a difference between her and other women in Kiara’s eyes.
Kiara bit her nails, for the first time in her life worried about what would come of her. She could have counted on one of her brothers to do something to cause an uprising to get back the palace but they were dead and she had helped with one of the deaths.
"I should have left," Kiara muttered, regretting she had not joined her mother out of the palace.
Her scheme backfired with her mother now safe while she was trapped in the filthy room awaiting the moment Zayne would kill her.
"Ha," Kiara laughed, still in disbelief that a man like Zayne fell for a simple woman. "She has the two of them like fools."
Kiara stopped laughing when the door opened. There was finally light in the room again. She stood up, expecting it to be Zayne but her useless maid greeted her. "Why did they send you?" She sat back down. "You are not my maid anymore."
Quinn entered with the tray of food she was tasked to bring the princess. She did not want to be here, knowing the princess’s wrath awaited her. "I was told to bring you food because you would be comfortable with me-"
"I would be comfortable with you? The maid who failed to close the door to let me escape?" Kiara questioned, angered once more by how useless Quinn was. "I should have let him kill you the night of the festival."
Quinn placed the food down. She had hoped that the princess wouldn’t be so cruel with the king and princes deaths, but she was wrong. "You already made the offer for him to kill me. It was your guard that stopped it. I am foolish as you say," she admitted.
