Chapter 91

• Without hesitation, Hazel made her way towards Zain's room. She paused outside the door, her hand hovering above the wood. Voices drifted from within, Zain conversing with his parents. Curiosity piqued, she leaned in closer, straining to catch their words. The mention of her name sent a shiver down her spine, and she pressed her ear against the door, desperate to unravel the mysteries lurking just beyond.
• "We've waited endlessly, Zain. What do you truly want from us? You love that girl, yet why do you resist marrying her?"
• "Dad, please," Zain interjected sharply. "We've been over this. I won't pressure her into anything." Hazel sensed the tension. She retreated to her room, her heart heavy with unspoken words. Sybil's departure lingered in the air, unnoticed by the others. She settled in her room; turmoil consumed her thoughts. It felt like she was trapped in a labyrinth with no way out. The only glimmer of hope lay in confronting the enigmatic figure who held the key to her unanswered questions.
