“What did she tell you?”
Madelyn tried to read Zach’s expression in the mirror, looking for signs of guilt. But Zach appearedcalm as if he already knew.
When Cecilia approached Madelyn, she shared that she had memories of her past life, just like her.Knowing Cecilia’s honesty, she likely told Zach everything–about their past relationship, their secretmeetings, and even their child. With this knowledge, Zach could be thinking about rekindling their oldrelationship.
“It doesn’t matter what I know,” Madelyn turned to face him, “Jadie or Cecilia, they’re the onesimportant to you. You’re wasting your time
on me.
“I’ve booked a fight in three days.”
“I’m done running.” Madelyn said firmly. “You keeping an eye on me won’t change a thing. I don’t needa home or family to stand on my own. Since you’ve pulled away from the Jent family, I have no reasonto show respect like I used to. Our past should stay in the past.”
Zach replied sternly. “Ending this isn’t your call. Accept it for both of us if you can’t see that.” TurningMadelyn to face him, he placed the necklace back around her neck in one motion. His cold eyes lockedonto hers as he whispered, “Don’t even think about returning to Ventropolis or getting back with Ethan.The Amold family can’t stand up to me. Listen to me if you want Ethan safe.”
With rising panic, Madelyn asked, “What did you do to him?”
With a chilling grin that could be straight out of a scary movie, Zach pinched Madelyn’s cheek. As hespoke, she felt the warmth of his breath on her face, adding to her discomfort. “Forgot what I told youalready? You should be showing some respect,” he reminded her.
Disturbing thoughts raced through Madelyn’s mind. ‘Could that dream have been true? Is Ethan insome kind of danger? Did Zach seize control of the Arnold family? They just took away his job; theynever really hurt him.‘ She knew, however, that Zach never let go of past grudges. With a tremblingvoice, she confronted him, “Is this about Ethan and me not being in Ventropolis? Whatever wasbetween us is over. Why target someone who has nothing to do with it?”novelbin
Zach’s eyes grew cold. “It’s not your place to decide what’s necessary. You know me; I don’t tolerateinterference. Don’t bring up his name again, or you won’t like what happens. Behave, and you’ll getwhat you want,” he said.
“I just want to go home.” Madelyn said hesitantly.
Zach smirked. “Say “please“.”
Pushing down her fears, she whispered shakily. “Please… let me go home?”
He arched an eyebrow, “And how should you address me next time?”
Reluctantly, she replied. “With respect?”
His smile was both cold and mocking. “Remember that. Nice girls get their way.”
