Chapter 1141

Madelyn said with guilt, “I’m sorry. can’t let the same thing happen again this time. I cannot continue to stay by your side.”

She shook her head and continued, “We both know you never loved me, Zach. If this continues, we’ll just keep tormenting each other.”

The effect of the aphrodisiac was still strong, but Zach held onto his consciousness with sheer willpower. He warned her, “If you dare take another step forward, I’ll destroy Ethan until nothing is left.”

Zach was still trying to bluff her since he had not found Ethan’s location. Though, Madelyn knew where he was.

She said again, “I’m sorry.”

“Try and leave! With just one phone call, you won’t be able to escape ever again,” Zach threatened her.

Madelyn stared back at him. When she saw the phone on his bedside table, she did not hesitate to try to grab it from him. She could not let him make that call. If Zach had called for more backup, Madelyn would not have had another chance to run away. However, she did not know she was falling into Zach’s trap.

His phone was already out of battery.

Zach grabbed hold of Madelyn. Even though he was drugged, he was still very strong. Madelyn could not believe him, “You lied to me!”

“Madelyn, why won’t you learn from your mistakes?” Zach chastised her.

1141 “Let go! Let me go!” Madelyn screamed while struggling. She shoved Zach off of her to escape. When she reached the door, Zach pulled her back by the hair. Madelyn felt her world spinning before she crashed onto the bed.

Zach pulled a dagger out of thin air, and Madelyn saw that his palm was bleeding. Turns out, he was trying to stay conscious by using pain. She saw him walking over with a dagger, and panic rose in her chest. She asked, “What are you doing? Do you want to kill me?”

Zach approached her with a sinister look and said, “How could I bring myself to kill you? I just want to slice your ankles so you won’t run away again.”

“You’re insane! You’ve gone crazy!” Madelyn shrieked.

Zach shouted back at her, “Madelyn, Why do you keep running away from me!”

Madelyn kept shrieking while throwing anything she could pick up at him. A table lamp flew and hit Zach right on the forehead. Blood trickled down his forehead, but he did not seem to be in pain.

Zach grabbed Madelyn by the ankles. Just as he swung his dagger, she broke free. Madelyn hid herself in the corner of the wall.

She had nowhere to go, but she could see that Zach was exhausted.

He ended up falling over as his strength left him.

“Madelyn, what should I do?” He asked while panting.

“Mmm?” Madelyn asked.
