Chapter 279
The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning
After waiting for a whole hour, Rosario finally got her meal when Zach brought it to her.
When Zach returned to his room, he saw Madelyn trembling on the bed. Her school uniform was all crumpled and messy. He realized he had been too rough her shirt was missing a few buttons, and the faint red marks below her neck were a lingering reminder of his actions.
Tears streaked her face, making her appear pitiful.
Upon seeing him, Madelyn hurled a pillow at him. âZach Jardin, you monster!â
Zach caught the pillow with a smirk. âBut you didnât mind that, did you?â
âJust how many times I have to repeat myself. Listen, Zach Jardin, I DONâT LIKE YOU ANYMORE!â Madelyn cried out in a hoarse voice.
âThat isnât your decision to make. Donât think that just because youâre at the Arnold residence, I canât do anything to you!â
Zach walked up to her, reaching to brush aside a few strands of hair stuck together by her tears. âDo you really think you can stay at the Arnold residence forever? Donât forgetâ¦. youâre a Jent!â
Madelyn slapped his hand away.
âYou will go to hell for this!â
An intimidating glint flashed in Zachâs eyes. Madelynâs unyielding gaze further unsettled him.
He sensed Madelyn was hinting at something. He asked himself, âCould she have found something out?â
4 However, he brushed aside the notion, thinking, âIf she truly knew, she would have distanced herself from me even more. Some secrets should remain buried forever. Sheâs Haysonâs daughter, and Iâm not his real brother. And thatâs how it should be.
He then reached a decision in his mind, âIf I canât bring myself to harm her, I might as well keep her by my side, making her forever reliant on me.â
Zach said, âIf I end up in hell, Iâll make sure to bring you along. Arenât you the type whoâd do anything for love, even take your own life? So, when the time comes, youâll be ready to give up everything, wonât you?â
He added. âBe a good girl, and maybe I might⦠start having feelings for you as well.â
Those words were like a spell, trying to tempt Madelyn in her ear. But she stood firm, declaring, âI donât want your feelings, youâre a monster!â
She fought to sit up, determined to leave. Before her feet even touched the ground, Zach grabbed her collar and pulled her back into his embrace.
âZach, let go of me! Donât touch me!â
He whispered in her ear, âGo ahead, shout! Scream as loudly as you can, let Rosario hearâ¦â
He held her chin, forcing her to look up at the camera on the ceiling. It was aimed directly at the bed.
âDonât forget this is my room and what we just did. You wouldnât want anyone to know that you have seduced your own brother!â
Madelyn shook her head, a shiver running through her heart. âNo⦠Thatâs not true! Youâre the one who dragged me here. Youâre the one who did those horrible things to me without my consent, and now you are trying to threaten me?â
âWho will believe you? Everyone in the jent family knows⦠how far youâve gone just to force me to become your boyfriend.â
Zach inhaled her scent, his face nestled against her neck as he pressed a kiss.
Madelyn seethed with hatred. âYou monster!â
âMadelyn, canât you just be a good girl and stay at home?â
âYouâre the one who forced me away! You tried to kill me!â
âSo, this time Iâm giving you a chance⦠When Father returns, move back home. Otherwise, you know the consequences!â
Madelynâs feeble struggle ceased, and she no longer dared to let out screams. Instead, silent tears traced paths down her cheeks once more.
âI know that you despise me. But why did you do this to me? Zach Jardin, I hate you! Iâll hate you forever!â
âHate me? Will it change anything?â
Madelynâs animosity toward Zach didnât seem to bother him. He let go of her and rose to his feet.
