When she got to the door, Zayn teased her, “Why don’t we shower together?”
“Dream on!” Faye scoffed and locked the door as soon as she slammed it shut.
Under the spray of warm water, her mind gradually cleared. She was starting to slightly regret it.
Was she really going to sleep with Zayn?
The silhouette of Violet Vision’s chairman flashed in her mind. Honestly, she still wanted to lose her virginity to him. Her confession tonight had been stolen by Zayn, but she would never forget her state of mind when she was professing her feelings. It felt like she had the world in her hands!
Sigh! Faye exhaled a long breath. Slowly, she wiped away the messy garble of thoughts plaguing her mind. She had no choice now. Maybe it was the destiny that she had to submit to. She thought that she would keep her chastity after escaping Ethan, Moses, Nathan, and William. In the end, she was losing it to Zayn. What irony!
She washed every inch of herself to be unprecedentedly clean. It took her a good half an hour before she was done. She wrapped a towel around herself. Faye took several deep breaths as she braced herself. She opened the bathroom door and stepped out…
“Zayn, I cleaned up. You…” Faye paused in surprise.
Zayn was not in the room. Where did that menace run off to?
Her nerves were soothed momentarily, up until her attention was caught by a portrait frame lying on the bed. It was their wedding portrait. She looked at their forced smiles as she recalled that fateful day. However, there was no Zayn in the frame. It had been torn in half, leaving her as the only one in the frame.
For some reason, Faye had a sense of foreboding. She suddenly felt anxious, but where did the restlessness come from? She could not figure it out.
Scanning the room, she spotted a few sheets of paper on the dressing table that were placed side by side. She made her way over. It was the divorce papers that had been previously ripped up! Someone had neatly pieced and taped them back together. Where the signatures were required, Zayn’s thumbprint and signature was staring back at Faye.
What was going on?
Despite Faye’s intelligence, she was stupefied by the sight of it, unable to connect the dots to figure out what Zayn was up to. Then, she noticed the two water stains tainting one of the divorce agreements. They looked like Zayn’s tears…
Frozen in place, Faye felt her vision blur. She could envision Zayn sifting out the torn divorce papers from the trash and piecing them together bit by bit. He had read them again and his tears had carelessly fallen onto them. He frantically tried to wipe them off, but it was futile. In the end, he signed his name…
