Soon. Harvey walked over to her: ‘Zoya, Eowyn said you were here, so I came to pick you up. Did you return the clothes?”
Yeah, Zoya replied, realizing Eowyn must have told Harvey she was here.
“Let’s go then” Harvey reached out, pulling Zoya’s hand away from Wren’s collar. He stared straight at Wren.
He said. “If you really have the guts to go after me, to treat me like a game, go ahead and try, Mr. Richmond.”
Wren frowned, finding the sight of Harvey and Zoya holding hands glaring–just as jarring as the day he had seen Harvey hugging Zoya outside the hospital.
In this world, nothing is certain, Harvey said. “Maybe you think you’re the hunter, but without realizing it, you’ve become someone else’s prey. With that, he took Zoya’s hand and left.
Few in Ranard dared to stand up to Wren like that. “Gilbert, do you think I could become prey?” Wren’s voice cut through
the silence.
Gilbert startled “Definitely not.” He thought, ‘Who in Ranard City would truly dare to treat Wren as prey? Even though Harvey, Ranard’s little tyrant, is no match for him in the end.
“But in this world, there’s always a ‘what if.” Wren murmured, his gaze falling on the gun Zoya had used earlier. “If one day I do become prey, who do you think the hunter would be?”
Gilbert was stuck. “Who in this world could–or would dare to–hunt Mr. Richmond?‘
Zoya walked out of the shooting range with Harvey. “You talked big to Wren like that–aren’t you afraid he’ll actually go after
POQ?”
Harvey looked unconcerned. “I wouldn’t have said it if I were scared.”
Zoya said, “Wren’s different from others. No matter how capable you are, he-”
“Zoya, do you think I’m that useless?” Harvey cut in. “I’m not that hotheaded kid rushing around the military camp.
Anytone
“If Wren really wants to go after me, he’ll have to be ready for both of us to get hurt.”
Sering how confident Harvey was, Zoya said no more. After all, what’s done was done. They’d deal with it as it came, taking it step by step.
Besides, Zoya, weren’t you standing up to Wren for me too? Weren’t you scared?” Harvey asked.
“Me?” Zoya gave a bitter laugh. “This whole thing started because of me. And Harvey, you and I are different. You have parents and family who love you
“If something happened to you, so many people would grieve. But me? I’m all alone. Even if something did happen to me-
Before she could finish, Harvey cut her off. “What? You think no one would be sad if something happened to you?
Harvey gripped Zoya’s hand. “If something happened to you, I don’t know about the others, but I’d have gone through hell and high water–laid down my life, even–to get revenge for you.”
Zoya stared at Harvey. The boy who had once needed her care, like a younger brother, had shed his immaturity, becoming mature and resolute.

“I moved out. If you find any other things of mine there, you can just throw them away. No need to call,” Zoya said.
“Moved out? What are you doing? Is this your way of complaining to me?” Nicolas said.
“Not complaining. I don’t want to live there anymore. That’s all,” Zoya said flatly.
She added, “And about the divorce–I don’t want to drag it out. I can forget about the $30 million in the agreement, but I need you to finalize the divorce soon.”
In three more days, the cooling–off period would be over. As long as Nicolas agreed, they could get divorced. Zoya just wanted to cut ties quickly and end this marriage.
“Fine, you want to talk about divorce? Then come back now. We’ll talk,” Nicolas said, hanging up.
Zoya put away her phone, turning to Harvey. “I need to go back.”
“To talk divorce with Nicolas? I’ll go with you,” Harvey said–he had heard parts of the call.
“No need. This is between me and him. I’ll go alone,” Zoya said.
“Will you really divorce him?” Harvey asked, his gaze fixed on her.
Zoya glanced at Felix and Celina’s urn ahead. If they were watching from heaven, they wouldn’t want her to stay trapped in

“Yes, definitely.” She heard herself answer.
