Zach crouched down, holding Madelyn’s chin, and inquired, “And what if it happens again?”
Madelyn’s eyes, red and swollen from tears, seemed to beg for something else. “You can do whateveryou want with me, Zach. Just don’t hurt them.”
Zach’s gaze was indifferent. He asked, “Madelyn, what should you call me?”
Swallowing hard, Madelyn’s hoarse voice emerged, “Hubby…”
Zach leaned in to kiss away the tears on Madelyn’s eyelids, his voice softening. “There won’t be a thirdtime, understand?”
Nodding, Madelyn watched as Zach signaled his bodyguard to hand over their baby. Assured that thebaby was unharmed, she finally relaxed. In one swift motion, Zach scooped her and their baby into hisarms.
Sneering at Ethan, he commanded, “Lock him in the basement. If anyone comes looking, turn themaway. Get a doctor to make sure he stays alive.”
“As you wish, sir.”novelbin
Primarily, Zach’s mission was to reel in Madelyn. Once they were in his room, he laid her on the bed.With tenderness, he claimed her with overwhelming passion, physically. Madelyn clung to thebedsheets, stifling her moans.
Time passed in a blur until their baby, fatigued from crying, fell asleep beside her. When Zach finallystopped, Madelyn sat up, her face numb and eyes listless. Without a word, she walked into thebathroom to cleanse herself, visibly shaken by her own
emotions.
“Why would he do that?” Madelyn thought, staring blankly at the tub’s porcelain surface. “If I’d nevermet him, none of this would’ve happened.”
The bathroom door swung open. Madelyn instinctively tightened her grip around herself as Zachentered, catching her eye only briefly before looking away.
Stripping, Zach joined Madelyn in the tub. Yet even as they became one again, the atmosphere hadshifted, becoming fraught
with tension.
“Make some noise,” he said, nibbling on her earlobe, his own breaths ragged. “You’re better than this.”
Madelyn’s response was a faint cry, which acted like a catalyst for Zach. For another hour, their tangledrelationship played out in that small, steamy space. Finally, Madelyn leaned against the frosted wall,exhausted and gasping for air.
Outside, a silhouette was visible, clearly highlighting a woman’s sensual physique. Catching sight ofthe outstretched hand in her peripheral vision, Madelyn instinctively recoiled and said, “I–I can get upmyself.”
Watching her from across the room, Zach sensed that something was off. He wondered if he had beentoo hard on her earlier. Her behavior was different from usual–she was afraid, petrified even as if hewas some predator looming over her.
Physically trembling, Madelyn slowly stood up, ignoring the sharp pain that lingered between herthighs. As she began to cleanse herself, Zach stopped her abruptly.
“Don’t wash it away. Keep it,” said Zach.
Although Madelyn had used hot water, the moment Zach touched her, all she felt was cold.
Her voice was soft and distant as she continued, “If I don’t, I could get an infection. I can’t have a babyanymore, even if we
wanted to…”
The room grew tense, their eyes locking in a stalemate, as the weight of Madelyn’s words sank in.
