CHAPTER 87

~Zara’s POV~

I was furious as I processed the betrayal and deceit. And all for what? I swallowed hard, the name slipping through clenched teeth. “Ivan.”

My brother’s eyes narrowed, showing frustration and helplessness. “I thought so too. He’s the only one who’d go this far.”

My heart thudded wildly. Every word my brother said fuelled my inner fire.

“But the way he’s set this up… Zara, there’s nothing Dad can do. Legally, they’ve got him pinned. Even if we go to the authorities, the transfer papers are already filed.”

I stood up suddenly, feeling the heaviness of the situation overwhelming me, making it hard to breathe. “This isn’t about the company, is it? Ivan’s after me, Elias. He’s cornering Dad because he knows I’ll be

forced to act if he threatens you all.”

“Zara.” Elias moved in front of me, holding my arm

tightly, with a warning look in his eyes. “You can’t rush into this. Don’t let Ivan manipulate you. Dad will find a way, but

but you can’t sacrifice yourself to save the

company.”

When I looked at him, I felt a tightness in my chest, and his strong determination was obvious in his eyes. “This isn’t just about the company, it’s about the family, all of you. If I don’t do something, he’ll keep escalating.”

Before he could respond, the front door creaked open,

and

my parents walked in, looking tired and defeated.

I did not know how my father was released and what exactly happened after that, considering I did not respond to Ivan’s texts. But seeing them now,

something ticked. They looked exhausted, my father’s shoulders slumped, and my mother’s eyes hardened as

they settled on me.

“Zara,” my mother said sharply, stepping forward. “Why are you here?”

She barely waited for an answer before her voice rose,

frustration colouring every word. “This is all your fault, isn’t it? You just had to provoke him, push him away, and now look at what he’s done. He’s destroying us,

Zara.”

I felt a sudden rush of anger in my chest. “Are you kidding me?” I spat, meeting her gaze head–on. “He’s the one who did this, not me. This is on him, and you were the ones supporting him all along. You couldn’t see what he really was, and now he’s tearing our family

apart.”

My mother’s expression hardened. “We supported him because we believed he was right for you, that he would look after you and support you. But you pushed him away.”

I laughed bitterly, the sound filled with disbelief. “More like you did that for your selfish gin, mom. You wanted a ticket to Icvory Crescent Pack and as their Gamma, he was your sure bet,” I spat, ignoring the mild look of shock in her eyes.

My father did not say anything either and just sighed. But that did not stop me one bit.

“Don’t you dare push the blame for your spoilt

attitude.”

I scoffed. “So this is my fault for not tolerating his manipulations and threats? For seeing through his lies while you kept putting him on a pedestal?”

“You still can’t see, can you?” My mother’s voice was taut with frustration. “If you hadn’t defied him, he wouldn’t have had to go to these lengths. You’ve forced

his hand, Zara.”

I wasn’t entirely shocked about all she was saying but I would have sworn that after what he did to my dad, they’d see him for the demon that he was.

However, was it the nerve to blame me when she knew I was right? Was she even my mother?

Which sensible parent would see a ditch and toss their child in it? I bet now they’d still want me going to him just to appease the scumbag!

Fuck! But if my rebirth twice has taught me anything, it was that Ivan would never change. He’d forever remain a douchebag and to him, I was nothing but a piece in the puzzle, needed for the final game.

“I see that it’s my fault for not being a willing pawn in his game.” My fists clenched anger radiating off me as

I stared her down. “You’re blaming me for his decisions, his twisted need for control?”

“Enough,” my father said, his voice breaking the tension. He rubbed his temple as if talking was a struggle. “This isn’t helping anyone. We need a solution, not more arguments.”

The room fell silent, his words drawing our attention as he settled wearily onto the couch, his gaze resting on me. “Zara… you know we love you.” I scoffed, not believing that. “But Zarais, is there any way you could ask Snow for help? He has resources and connections. Maybe he could… make Ivan back down.”

I shook my head firmly, my mind already made up. “Dad, Snow has nothing to do with this. This is my problem, my responsibility. Ivan won’t stop until he has me cornered and out of options, but I’m not involving Snow. I refuse to drag him into a mess that’s mine to

fix.”

My father sighed. I could see the disappointment flashing in his eyes, but he didn’t press further. Unlike my mother, whose scoff drew all heads in her

direction.

“We’ll find a way,” I murmured, more to myself than anyone else.

“Yes, go and apologize to your fiancé since your so–called Alpha can’t be of any help to our family,” she said, her voice filled with sarcasm and disgust.

My eyes narrowed, and my hands clenched at her statement. My mother’s eyes flashed as she stood up.

“I’m not apologizing to someone who isn’t even worthy of my name. Besides, Ivan can have the damn. company, for all I care. He’ll probably run it into the ground, and that’ll solve your problems.”

Her jaw dropped, and a flash of anger coloured her cheeks. “How dare you speak about your fiancé and his business like that? He’s worked hard to get where he is, and his family is doing well.”

“Doing well?” I said, arching a brow. “If he’s struggling, then it’s his fault and none of my concern. As for working hard, all he does is sit on his ass and bark orders. How the hell is that considered working hard? Besides, Snow is a million times better than him?”
