Chapter 218. A Ring, a Revelation

Claire boards her flight, her mind seething with anger and hurt. Determined to secure the deal and prove her worth, she tries to focus on her work, but the thought of Zach with another woman gnaws at her. She vows to uncover the identity of the mysterious woman, expose her secrets, and reclaim what she believes is rightfully hers.

"Just you wait and see, bitch," Claire mutters under her breath as she takes her seat in the first-class section. "When I get back, I'll find you, and I'll kill you myself."

As soon as Zach arrives home, he immediately contacts his sources, pressuring them to expedite the information he has requested. "I need everything you can find on Lara. And I need it fast," he insists, his voice carrying a sense of urgency that leaves no room for argument.

Days pass, and Zach grows increasingly restless. His thoughts are consumed by Lara, and his need to understand her and their connection becomes an obsession.
