As much as she was torturing him, Sarah was also torturing herself.That was why the only way for the two of them… was not to see each other at all. To go their separate ways, and leave everything to fate.Zachary had just stepped out of the hospital room when his vision went black. He instinctively reached out and braced himself against the wall.A nurse passing by noticed and asked with concern, “Sir, are you alright? Do you need me to get a doctor?”Zachary straightened up, his dark eyes focused coldly ahead. “No need.”With that, it was like nothing had happened. He walked off with steady, determined steps, quickly disappearing down the corridor.His assistant was already waiting outside the hospital. Seeing him approach, he rushed up. “Mr. Reynolds, please go home and get some rest. You’ve been pushing yourself too hard.”But Zachary got into the car without a word and told the driver, “Back to the office.”The assistant hesitated in the front passenger seat. He was about
Sarah had finally remembered what she had once forgotten.She remembered how she first met Zachary—not by chance, but by his design. He had approached her for one reason: to use her blood to treat Vivian.She remembered the way she had caught Zachary and Vivian entangled together. She remembered it all...When she closed her eyes, the image that haunted her most wasn’t even that—it was the moment her father died in a car crash, all because he was searching for her.She couldn’t forgive herself for almost softening toward Zachary. And she could never forgive herself for being the reason her father died.The room was thick with silence until Melvin finally broke it, frowning as he looked between the two of them. “Sarah, the doctor said there’s still some clotting in your brain. Do you remember anything from before the accident?”Her gaze sharpened, hatred flashing through her eyes. She gritted her teeth and growled, “Of course I remember. How could I ever forget that face? Even if
She recognized the license plate.With all the strength she had left, Sarah threw herself against the car window, pounding on the glass with trembling hands. Tears poured down her face.“Sasa, what’s wrong?” Zachary noticed something was off. He thought she was reacting from the pain and trying to cope.But Sarah didn’t even look at him. Her bloodshot eyes were locked on the distant Porsche. She could clearly see the driver slumped motionless over the steering wheel.“Zachary! Get over there, now!” she cried out, her voice filled with panic and desperation.Zachary still hadn’t realized what was going on. He assumed she had been triggered by the accident and just wanted to help.“Drive over,” he told the driver calmly.But Sarah’s hands were already gripping the car handle. She was frantic.Zachary reached out to stop her. “Sasa, you’re in no condition to move. Let’s go to the hospital first, okay?”Sarah was sobbing uncontrollably now. Her entire body shook. She couldn’t even
Zachary turned his head and finally saw Mia.One of the men nearby walked over and carefully lifted her into his arms.Sarah glanced at him—and instantly recognized his face. It was Steven. So she had met him long before today, without even realizing it.“Sasa…”Zachary kept calling her name, again and again. But to Sarah, his voice was growing fainter with each repetition. Even his face was beginning to blur.She could barely remember what he looked like anymore. Not even his face from three years ago. Everything was slipping away.The scar-faced man’s words still echoed in her ears—Zachary had approached her because of Vivian, because of the blood type match.She had never imagined something so absurd could actually happen to her. And yet Zachary… he was exactly the kind of man who would do such a thing.He was ruthless. Willing to do anything to achieve his goals. And when it came to people he didn’t care about, he never even looked their way.Sarah finally understood. Mayb
Mia let out a muffled cry, unable to speak. She could only shake her head desperately at Sarah.Sarah collapsed to the ground in despair, her limbs limp. The man grabbed her chin again and yanked it upward with brutal force.“It could’ve all been over,” he said coldly. “But you had to go and make a mistake. Now you need to learn a lesson.”The two other men stepped forward and pinned Sarah’s legs down.Only then did Sarah fully realize what was happening. Her eyes widened in panic. “What are you doing?!”“What are we doing? You’ll see soon enough.”The man with scar shouted toward the door. “Bring a bowl. And two more people.”Two more men entered. One placed a bowl beside Sarah. The other came behind her and locked his arm tightly around her neck, holding her still.“Let me go! What the hell are you trying to do?!”The man didn’t answer. He grabbed her pants and yanked them down.Sarah screamed.He pulled a lighter from his pocket and held the blade of his knife over the fl
Just as Sarah lunged forward in a panic, two men entered through the door and pinned her down.She struggled but couldn’t break free. Furious, she shouted, “What are you planning to do to her? I’m warning you, think carefully. Do you even know who her brother is? Zachary will find this place—aren’t you afraid of him?”Her words only seemed to provoke the man with scar further. He shoved Mia away with a sneer, then walked over and grabbed Sarah by the chin, forcing her to look up at him.“You should worry about yourself before you start worrying about anyone else,” he hissed.He slammed a sharp knife against her cheek. The blade gleamed with a cold, deadly light. Sarah’s heart seized in fear.“Zachary Reynolds?” he scoffed. “He’s probably having sex with that Miss Wilson at some fancy hotel right now. Don’t tell me you actually believed he got involved with you out of love? That’s laughable.”Sarah’s face went pale. “What are you talking about?”Scarface chuckled darkly. “You rea
