CHAPTER 419
~Ella's POV~
After Snow left, I paced across my living room, gripping my phone tightly.
Something wasn't right. Zara wasn't answering her calls at all.
I had tried calling her at least ten times now, but each attempt was met with the same frustrating response—her phone was switched off.
My pulse quickened as unease curled in my stomach. Zara wasn't careless. She would never ignore this many calls, especially not when she knew Snow had been looking for her.
I clenched my jaw, taking a deep breath. Think, Ella. Think.
Had Vera gotten to her before Snow? I highly doubted it, seeing as Zara had turned off her phone since. But then, I couldn't rule out that possibility.
Maybe Ares could help. He still had strong connections, and if anyone could track someone down quickly, it was him.
Just as I was about to dial his number, my phone buzzed in my hand with an incoming call.
I glanced at the screen only to see Richard's name on it.
I froze.
