Zachary seemed shocked by my sudden outburst. Then, as if the weight of his own actions hit him, he let go of his bitterness
and calmed down.
He propped himself up and stared at me. “Sarah, are you here to take me with you? I knew you wouldn’t ever leave me. I’m

Eventually, Nina lost her sanity and was locked away in a mental hospital on Zachary’s orders.
At the same time, Zachary donated all his assets in my name and chose to live the rest of his life in solitude.
