88 Thank you, Zayden

"I'll go check on her," William said, noticing Ziana's prolonged absence. Tensions ran high, and the concern for her well-being extended to Norah, for whom Ivan had rushed off earlier. Observing the situation, Angelina rose from her seat and excused herself, heading to check on Norah.

The reapers let out a collective sigh, and Lady Winter instructed Lia to inspect the kitchen. It had been an extensive journey for both the Brown family and Angelina, and considering the series of unexpected revelations, an early meal and a night's rest seemed like a logical course of action.

Stepping out of the villa, William's gaze found Ziana, her attention captured by the early stars illuminating the sky. Taking a deep breath, he approached her and asked, "Are you okay?"

Ziana took a deep breath, her lips pressed together to hold back tears as William joined her. Sensing her internal turmoil, he pulled her into a gentle embrace, whispering, "Come here."
