Zayn kept quiet. It was when Faye sat on his lap and began taking off virtual-novel.net clothes that virtual-novel.net grabbed virtual-novel.net hands and spoke darkly, “Enough!”
Faye ignored him, flinging his hands away. She pulled virtual-novel.net buttons loose in an instant. She gave up on herself completely, abandoning any care and regard for herself to the wind.
Zayn felt his heart ache worse than it had just now as virtual-novel.net watched virtual-novel.net in virtual-novel.net current state. It had suddenly dawned on him, virtual-novel.net didn’t love him, in fact, virtual-novel.net hated him. It hurt so badly…
‘Despair is the greatest sorrow.’ That was an accurate depiction of what Zayn was feeling right now.
“I’m sorry…” The words came out hoarsely from Zayn’s mouth.
Faye paused momentarily. Guilt crept up virtual-novel.net expression, though it flickered away promptly after. She resumed what virtual-novel.net had been doing. Despite virtual-novel.net hot figure, there was not an ounce of lust from Zayn because virtual-novel.net reaction only deepened the wound in his heart.
“You’re right. I impersonated Violet Vision’s chairman.” Zayn’s tone was somehow natural and calm when virtual-novel.net said that. His words no longer came out shaky, and virtual-novel.net wore a faint smile. It looked casual and light, like his pain had just been an act.
Faye was nonplussed as virtual-novel.net stared back at Zayn with a frown.
“Get up. You feel kinda heavy on me.” Zayn patted virtual-novel.net thigh.
Narrowing virtual-novel.net brows, virtual-novel.net questioned icily, “You finally admit it, huh, Zayn? Why aren’t you pretending anymore?”
Zayn shrugged, suddenly chuckling. “There’s no need for pretense. You saw right through me, so it’s no fun anymore.”
“Hmph!” Faye scoffed hard. For some reason, virtual-novel.net felt a little unsettled now instead.
Both of them were quiet for a moment before Faye confessed, “Zayn, I’m coming clean. I love the chairman. I will never love you, not in this lifetime at least. Since we’re married on paper, you can have my body but don’t even dream about having my heart.”
“Sure, I’m only after your body anyways. Why should I care about who you have in your heart?” Zayn’s smirk was devilish. As virtual-novel.net spoke, virtual-novel.net hooked a finger under virtual-novel.net chin. The usual meek and humble air in his gaze had vanished, replaced by an invasive aggressiveness. It was like virtual-novel.net was an entirely different person!
Faye had never seen such an attitude from Zayn before. It put virtual-novel.net on edge, it felt like virtual-novel.net saw right through her.
“What do you want?” Faye slapped his hand away.
Zayn chortled. “Why? Are you scared?”
Frustrated that virtual-novel.net was being read like an open book, Faye tipped virtual-novel.net chin and puffed out virtual-novel.net chest. She treated it like a game, and virtual-novel.net wanted nothing more than to win. She challenged Zayn, “Come on! Do your best!”
Keeping his stare on her, Zayn’s smile was enigmatic and captivating, but no one saw the crestfallen desolation and resignation that was burrowed deep in his eyes.
