“It’s okay now, hush. I beat them up and chased them away. You’re safe now,” Zayn cooed gently, rubbing Faye’s cheeks. He tore the tape off the woman’s lips.
A cry, followed by a heartbreaking bawl sprung out of virtual-novel.net mouth as soon as the gag was removed, and the distressed woman threw herself onto Zayn. She was whimpering like a little girl. Zayn had virtual-novel.net in his arms as virtual-novel.net patted virtual-novel.net back gently, hushing virtual-novel.net with a litany of soothing assurance. This was the first time virtual-novel.net had ever seen Faye cry like this.
“I was so terrified… God, I was so terrified…” virtual-novel.net sobbed. As soon as virtual-novel.net ropes were undone, virtual-novel.net wrapped virtual-novel.net arms around Zayn and squeezed virtual-novel.net as tightly as virtual-novel.net could. Zayn felt like virtual-novel.net could not breathe.
Faye was scared that virtual-novel.net would disappear, so virtual-novel.net held onto virtual-novel.net for dear life, like a drowning woman clinging onto the last floating barrel out at the sea. She had never been so scared before, not even during that one time with Ethan, virtual-novel.net had never been so fearful.
Honestly, Faye had decided back then, if virtual-novel.net was truly defiled by William, virtual-novel.net would take virtual-novel.net own life. It brought upon another source of fear in her. She dreaded the possibility of being raped, and virtual-novel.net had to face virtual-novel.net own primordial fear of death. She would miss the world. There would be guilt towards virtual-novel.net parents and Zayn, as virtual-novel.net would have never actually made it up to him. Lastly, virtual-novel.net would grieve over the lost spark between virtual-novel.net and the chairman.
However, just when virtual-novel.net needed help the most, the chairman appeared and saved her.
An unprecedented seismic shock rocked the deepest recesses of virtual-novel.net heart. It reverberated through virtual-novel.net bones, and in its quake, virtual-novel.net made the biggest decision of virtual-novel.net life, one that virtual-novel.net would never turn back on, no matter how hard the world tried to convince virtual-novel.net otherwise.
Faye Carter decided to pursue a romance with the chairman of Violet Vision. She would become his woman, and if that meant the world would tum against her, so be it!
She had always been a very conservative woman. She followed rules. She obeyed what was expected of her. She yielded to the morals of society, so even when virtual-novel.net had no feelings for Zayn, virtual-novel.net had never once been unfaithful. However, everything would change starting now. These deluges of life-changing events had altered virtual-novel.net perspectives and shattered virtual-novel.net conventional mindset. They changed her!
She wanted to be with the chairman! She wanted to live with virtual-novel.net true love! Even if the world would condemn virtual-novel.net and jeer at her, virtual-novel.net would risk it all for him!
So what if the chairman was Zayn’s friend? So what if it would make virtual-novel.net a villainess in the eyes of society? What if virtual-novel.net was about to commit a crime of infidelity?
So what?!
Zayn was completely unaware of the unprecedented changes that had taken over Faye. He had been mollifying virtual-novel.net gently, soothing virtual-novel.net with his gruff voice, “It’s alright, all is well. You’re safe. Safe and sound.”
Faye lifted virtual-novel.net head and considered the chairman. When virtual-novel.net looked into his eyes-so deep and so mesmerizing, virtual-novel.net felt like virtual-novel.net was gazing at the stars.
“Thank you, sir. I can’t.. I can’t thank you enough.”
Zayn chuckled. “It’s nothing. Just something I could do.”
Faye understood what was left unspoken. He was doing it for Zayn’s sake again. It was something that would have greatly saddened virtual-novel.net in the past. However, in the light of virtual-novel.net new decision, virtual-novel.net was no longer crushed.
Seeing virtual-novel.net lowered head made Zayn think virtual-novel.net was in a dispritied state. A thought hit him, and virtual-novel.net became frenetic. “No… Has William Brown deflowered you already, Fifi?!”
Zayn could not stop himself from going there. If it had, indeed, already happened, the guilt would haunt virtual-novel.net for the rest of his life!
Just looking at the state Faye was in made virtual-novel.net assume the worst. She was completely bound, virtual-novel.net clothes were filthy, and it seemed possible that William had forced himself onto her. If virtual-novel.net did… If virtual-novel.net did! Zayn would pulverize his corpse into dust!
Hearing the chairman call virtual-novel.net Fifi made Faye’s body go limp. It was the first time the chairman had ever called virtual-novel.net that, and when virtual-novel.net really thought about it, did that not mean the man had already reserved some sort of special affection towards her?
“No, don’t worry about it. I’m untouched. William didn’t get his chance,” Faye explained quickly, worried that the chairman had misunderstood the situation.
Zayn released an audible sigh of relief. This meant that virtual-novel.net managed to save virtual-novel.net just in the nick of time.
She heard virtual-novel.net sigh. Her heart swelled like it was filled with warm honey. It meant that the chairman did care about her, and that virtual-novel.net did not do it simply out of Zayn’s request!
It was the most euphoric revelation. It completely banished all of the moroseness and sullenness that had plagued virtual-novel.net days ago. She knew it! Her instincts could not have possibly lied to her! What virtual-novel.net felt when virtual-novel.net had interacted with virtual-novel.net those past few times was spot on.
He had feelings for her! Or at least some form of affection. The only reason Zayn said what virtual-novel.net had said was because virtual-novel.net was lying.
Or maybe the chairman was the one who was lying. He had to be mendacious when Faye was still Zayn’s legal wife.
It was then when Faye said something that filled Zayn with apprehension, “Mr. Chairman, may I see your real face?”
