Ex-husband’s Regret

"Fine."

When good words didn't work, he started to threaten her.

Jane was so angry that her teeth itched. She ground her teeth and said, "There won't be any unpleasantness between them. Frank will always stand firmly by Charlotte. As soon as I tell Charlotte about your shameless behavior, Frank will surely find a way to make you unable to do anything."

Zachary, however, smirked. "Just in time. I've been bored lately. Let Frank and your best friend skip their honeymoon and come to spar with me, so they can focus on serious matters." Jane felt defeated.

Not defeated by Zachary, but by Frank.

If Zachary really engaged Frank in a business battle, the city would be thrown into chaos.

At that point, Charlotte would definitely worry.

They had just gotten married, because she couldn't enjoy her life properly, she felt guilty.

But she held her ground verbally. "You really are a good friend to Frank."

Zachary didn't take it to heart. He brushed Jane's disheveled hair and said, "Can we talk now?"

"If we can't, I'll call Frank over to spar."

Jane took a deep breath and realized she was still furious. She took another deep breath.

Until she finally managed to suppress her anger.

Through clenched teeth, she squeezed out three words. "We can talk."

Zachary let her go and stood up, retrieving a drink from the fridge for her.

He even twisted off the bottle cap.

Jane didn't think much of it, she wasn't a little girl who would be moved just because someone opened a bottle cap for her. She could open it herself!

After taking a few sips, her anger finally subsided a little.

She leaned back in the corner of the sofa and glanced at him sideways. "Let's talk."

Zachary apologized again.

He seemed to have finished all his apologies for a lifetime today.

But Jane clearly did not appreciate it.

"If you have any complaints, say them. Tell me how I can get along with you, and I'll do it."

"You'll do what I say?" Jane's mischievous spirit peaked.

Zachary knew her well enough, she had many tricks up her sleeve and no boundaries.

"You can't possibly want me to eat shit, right?"

Jane grimaced. "You're so disgusting."

He kept forcefully kissing her, and if she told him to eat shit, who was she punishing?

"I've received your apology. I forgive you. From now on, let's get along well. I'll smile and greet you when we meet, Mr. Collins." Zachary's expression darkened. When he saw Jane about to leave, he pulled her back, holding her on his lap.

Jane started to give up.

She casually wrapped her arms around his neck, raised her red lips, and leaned in to whisper in his ear, even blowing air into it.

"Mr. Collins, your hobby is quite special, but I'm not into this. You might as well go find your dear Nina. She seems so weak and dependent, she'd probably love your domineering style."

As she spoke, she lifted her hand and scratched his Adam's apple with her nails.

Zachary's muscles tensed instantly, his Adam's apple sliding up and down slowly.

His gaze deepened.

But Jane's smile widened as she trailed her fingers from his Adam's apple down to his collarbone.

She observed his reaction while continuing downward.

Finally, she stopped at his belt.

That sound was like a switch, opening the cage and releasing the beast.

But when Zachary's kiss descended, Jane covered his mouth.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

She smiled, her eyes curving, but the arc of her red lips held a hint of cruelty.

"Mr. Collins, your reaction-could it be that you... want me?"
