Chapter 98

• [ZARINA]
• “What do you think is going to happen?” I ask mother, barely able to repress the worry and dread pooling in my stomach from showing on my face.
• Lorenzo left soon after Aurora’s call. More than half of his men left with him, too. Diego was forced to go with him. And even though I have barely known him in this brief span of time, I fear for his life. He is my little brother, after all. I don’t want to miss any more bonding time with my family. I don’t want him to get hurt.
