"What do you want to do?" he asked softly.
"Help me leave this place," she replied, her voice flat and tired.
He hesitated again. He knew Nathaniel would never allow her to disappear from his life. "Zara… think about this carefully. Why don't you talk to him before making such a big decision? Give yourself time. Don't rush. You might regret it later."
Zara's hand instinctively moved to her stomach. She had planned to leave without telling Nathaniel anything about the baby. But after learning the truth, doubt crept in.
Was she doing the right thing?
Zane's innocent smile suddenly flashed through her mind, and her determination faltered. That child was innocent in all of this. If she vanished without a word, it would break his heart. She couldn't do that to him.
