The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 588
Madelyn attempted to pull her hand from Zach’s grip, but he held firm. Turning to him, her eyesdisplayed a hint of emotion. Her brows knitted slightly, her voice barely more than a whisper, “What doyou want?”
“We have servants here. You don’t need to take care of things.”
“Servants who are loyal to you. You probably have a better idea than I do about what happened to myfather. After all that’s happened, do you genuinely believe I’d trust you?” Her eyes held a challenge, butthen she looked away, “No matter what happens with my father, I’ll do what’s expected of me. In theend, you’ll have control of our family’s wealth, and no one will stand in your way.”novelbin
Madelyn tried to pull away, but just as she stepped into Hayson’s room, Zach swiftly drew her back tohim. All the things Madelyn held dropped to the floor. He carried her up the stairs.
His movements were decisive, almost predatory. “You seem to know so much, so why fight it?” hetaunted.
When he set her down, she was backed against the wall, blocked by him. The intensity in his eyes wasoverwhelming, drawing ever closer until every detail of his face filled her vision. He leaned in, his strongaura surrounding her. She felt like she was caught in a big, hot fire, burning from its intensity.
Just as she felt Zach was about to kiss her, Madelyn turned her head away. Don’t make me hate you.What would people in Ventropolis say about a brother forcing himself on his own sister? Don’t forget, Iam Ethan Arnold’s fiancee!”
Zach smirked, amusement dancing in his eyes. “Trying to intimidate me now? Madelyn felt an uneasypressure in the room. Being near Zach always put her on edge, making her voice quiver, ” You’ve left
me no choice.”
His fingers gently tilted her chin, a playful smile gracing his features, but the coldness behind it sentshivers down her spine. “You’ve yet to figure me out.”
In a sudden twist of aggression, he held her face firmly, his gaze frigid and threatening. “I’ve neverbeen one to weigh consequences when I truly want something.”
Without warning, he pressed his lips onto hers. She resisted, and summoning all her might, shestepped hard on his foot, managing to push him back.
Seeing an opportunity, Madelyn reached for a crafting knife on the desk, pointing it in his direction,“One more step and I won’t hesitate.”
Amused, Zach approached her slowly, Can you even handle that knife? If you injure yourself, I’d berather upset.”
To him, her threats felt empty, as if he was convinced she wouldn’t dare act. As Zach closed thedistance between them, panic clouded Madelyn’s eyes. In a sudden move, she pressed the craft knifeto her own neck.
As expected, Zach halted his step with a frown. Trapped and scared, Madelyn found courage in hervoice, “…I’m not like you, able to hurt people without caring. Listen, even if you have power over theJent family, I’ve never been scared of you.”
She went on, “Even if today is my end, you better not lay a finger on me again. You and Jasmine areplotting together, aren’t you? She’s even having your baby. You’re perfect for each other. I try to stay faraway from you every day, hoping something takes you away from me. Just seeing you makes my skincrawl!”
