CHAPTER 160
~Zara's POV~

My head felt heavy, a dull ache throbbing at my temple, and my body felt like it had been weighed down with lead.
I stirred slightly, my consciousness tethered between the remnants of a dream and reality. The dream lingered, vividly and strangely unsettling.
I was back in the moment when my life ended—my past life. Ivan and Clarissa's faces loomed before me, their expressions twisted with malice as they delivered the fatal blow.
The pain was as sharp as it had been then, a searing betrayal cutting deeper than any physical wound.
But the dream didn't stop there.
