Chapter 81

• Zayne
• My heart threatens to stop as I try to catch her as she falls, but I can't get there in time. She hits her head on the iron bedframe and falls to the ground. I run over to her heart pounding and pull her into my arms.
• “Maija, Maija, my love, please be ok,” I call out to her, but she doesn’t budge. My love, I’m sorry I didn’t protect you. How could I let this happen to you? I kiss her forehead as I hold her in my arms when Jade and Kenya run in.
