However, in the next moment, Neera felt a sharp pain at the back of her neck and immediately lost consciousness.
In the fleeting moments before the darkness consumed her, she caught sight of Zephyr’s eyes.
Those eyes, brimming with intense regret and resentment, seemed to plead with her to resist being taken away, reflecting a profound self-loathing for not fulfilling his promise, for failing to protect her.
When Neera regained consciousness, it was the biting cold that jolted her awake.
Confused and disoriented, she couldn’t discern her surroundings until she realized she was in a bathtub.
The chilling revelation hit her as she discovered the tub filled with ice cubes and water, submerging her chest, with only her head exposed.
Bound hand and foot, Neera was left in this chilling predicament.
The duration of her immersion in the icy water remained unknown, and her body temperature had plummeted frighteningly low, causing uncontrollable shivers.
The unbearable cold surrounded her, her teeth chattering, and her lips taking on a frightening shade of purple. It felt as though she was on the brink of freezing to death.
Attempts to move her hands and feet were futile; the ropes were tied too tightly, rendering her unable to break free.
Neera forced herself to calm down, struggling to piece together the events leading to her loss of consciousness.
As she closed her eyes, the image of Zephyr’s eyes and the horrifying scene of Howard thrusting toward him resurfaced in her mind. The pain that gripped her heart was akin to being stabbed.
