Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort chapter 1337
“Listen.” Instead of blaming Ben, Zachary warned. “I don’t want someone to love me out of sympathy. Arelationship built upon sympathy is meaningless, and I don’t need it!”
Ben kneeled before him on one knee and begged for his forgiveness. “I’m sorry, Mr. Nacht. Pleaseforgive me.”
“All my life as a businessman, I’ve been through hell, but nothing had ever taken me down. Even nowI’m on the brink of death, I’m not afraid of dying, because I’ve lived my whole life with dignity. So pleasedon’t take the last shred of dignity away from me. You hear me?” Zachary said in a calm but sorrowfulvoice.
“Got it.” Ben kept his head down. Tears began to well up in his eyes.
It must have taken this egoistic man a lot of courage to admit how vulnerable he was at this point.Zachary must have trusted Ben wholeheartedly to make that remark.
He hoped Ben could understand him and stop doing anything that would upset him further.
“All right.” Zachary let out a deep sigh. “You may go.”
“I’m so sorry…” Ben apologized in a hoarse voice and left the room.
After a final puff at his last cigarette, Zachary returned to his bed. He was a little worn out, and his backhurt. Suddenly, he recalled how weak Dr. Felch was before he passed away.
Right now, he felt just as weak and sickly.
I can’t sleep. I got to stay awake!novelbin
Zachary had to remind himself to stay awake as he was afraid he would pass away in his sleep.
After fighting off sleepiness for some time, he gave in and dozed off.
In his dream, countless demons grabbed him from below as if they were trying to pull him into theabyss.
He struggled to escape but to no avail. His body was so stiff that he did not have any energy to fightback.
All of a sudden, he heard Henry’s voice from afar. “Stay strong, Zachary. You cannot fall. The entireNacht family depends on you.”
All these years, he had pushed himself beyond his limits, but at this point, he could not take it anymore.
“How are you feeling? Are you tired? Come, take a break.” His father’s gentle voice emerged from theother side.
Zachary knew his father had never cared about power or prestige. All his father ever wanted was forhim to be happy.
Yet, in reality, Zachary never had the chance to experience such love and care, as his father passedaway at a young age.
Growing up, Zachary had no choice but to live up to Henry’s expectations and fulfill all theresponsibilities as a Nacht.
“Honey, come to Mommy. Come here…” His mother’s compassionate voice emerged next.
The love and care his parents showered upon him in his dream had comforted him for a bit. How hewished he could leave everything behind and not have a care in the world.
But soon, all sorts of voices echoed in his ear. “You mustn’t fall, Mr. Nacht! Divine Corporation needsyou, and Nacht Group needs you! The Nacht family cannot survive without you!”
“Our livelihood depends on you, Mr. Nacht. Our lives are in your hands!”
Once again, these voices reminded him of all the responsibilities he had to shoulder.
Zachary dared not put his guard down. He had no choice but to persevere.
In his dream, he also saw the innocent smile on his children’s faces. “Daddy! Daddy!”
Zachary felt much better after seeing their adorable faces and hearing their vibrant voices.
A pair of dainty hands gently tapped on his. The person then whispered in his ear, “Don’t worry, I’mhere with you. I’ll be with you till the end of time.”
Charlotte…
What Charlotte said in his dream gave him hope.
He grabbed her hands and tried to crawl up from the ground. Yet, all of a sudden, she pulled her handsaway and shoved him into the abyss.
