Way Back Into Love (Essie)

Chapter 25 You Have Gone Too Far

Essie didn't quite understand what he meant. She shrugged. "I remember. I can still introduce a

girlfriend for you."

Zac gritted his teeth. If only she could feel how worked up he was in trying to drill what he wanted to

say in her mind. He lifted her chin with one of his hands, deciding to cut to the chase. "During our

marriage, I suggest you don't see any other man. He could be your first boyfriend. Hell, he could be

your dream lover, but you better get them out of your mind and never speak to them again." Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

His words were harsh, slicing through the tension between them. What he really wanted was to wipe

her mind off Hanson. He moved closer. Even if she was his fake wife, as long as the license was still

registered, then he wouldn't let her see another man. He lowered his lips against hers.

She stiffened under his touch. Essie didn't even know what he meant. It wasn't as if she was having an

affair...all he caught her doing was that the men were trying to rape her, but she knew for a fact that he

didn't mean that ordeal. That meant...

Hanson's confession came to mind.

No. It was impossible that he would know such a private affair.

While she was stuck in her thoughts, a burst of pain exploded from her lower lip.

He had bitten her!

'Is he a dog?'

Essie shoved him away with all her strength as she gritted her teeth. "Listen here, I'm neither your pet

nor your slave. Do you think I'll listen to that excessive request?" He knocked her over the sofa. His

fingers traced against her face before stopping at the edge of her lips. His eyes glittered. "If you can't

do it, then maybe I should teach you every night how to be a good wife," he whispered.

She gritted her teeth.

This was already too much!

"We're getting a divorce in five weeks," she reminded him coldly.

His eyes darkened. In fact, they looked like a bottomless abyss–one that Essie didn't want to fall into.

Divorce wasn't easy. In fact, there were plenty of talks before it would even take place.

Moreover, even the thought of setting her free was making him uncomfortable. Zac didn't like the fact

that he was letting her go.

"I'm hungry. Go make me some food." He finally released his hold on her and sat up.

The topic had changed so fast that she couldn't even decipher what had happened. "Didn't you just

come back from dinner? How could you be hungry?"

"Just hurry up." After finding out that he was being cheated, he had turned around and left. In fact, he

didn't even drink a sip of water or eat a piece of bread. He had endured the hunger with rage in his

heart.

Essie didn't know this. She had thought that he maintained his hunger because of his date. 'He's only

hungry to keep his own dignity, ' she snorted.

"My legs hurt, so I won't be able to walk. Cook it yourself."

"Let me help you." Without even giving her a chance to deny him, he picked her up and placed her in

the kitchen. He took out a pack of noodles and a tray of eggs from fridge. "You can do it now."

It seemed that she had no other choice but to agree.

'For the sake of him saving my life, cooking noodles wouldn't be so bad, ' she thought with a sigh.

On the other side of Yang City.

Sunny lay on the tiled floor near her toilet bowl, screaming in frustration.

She had been sitting in her BMW as she waited for the news. However, what she didn't expect was

photos of Billy and his gang being tortured rather than a picture of Essie being molested.

Two masked men dragged her out of the car before she could recover from the shock. Not only did

they break her arms, but they had also force fed her ten cockroaches. Even the sight of them crawling

all over her tongue made her vomit into the basin.

She was scared for her life. She was a controlling tyrant in Yang City, and she didn't expect that one

day, she would be taught a lesson.

But Sunny didn't even dare say a word or else her naked pictures would be all over the internet.

Three days later, Essie got news from Mandy that her rival had been sent to the hospital. The

advantage of working in a TV station was that they got first-hand gossip for everything. Of course, the

news wasn't as complete as it was, since Sunny could only admit that she fell and broke her arms.

Thank goodness!

Essie fixed her eyes on her friend's luggage.

However, Mandy didn't just come here to tell her the good news.
