Zoey Malik

~•~

“He said you can go, Zoey,” Eve said, her voice solemn. “But make sure to be careful, and don’t hesitate to call me if this is just some sick prank.”

I stood up from the couch and straightened my dress. “Sure, I’ll call you, but I hope that won’t be the case,” I replied, letting out a deep exhale.

Eve nodded. “Yeah, I hope so too.”

Just as she was about to leave, I called her name and she paused. “Thank you, Eve,” I whispered, expressing gratitude.

    EPILOGUE Zoey Malik ~•~ TWO YEARS LATER A lot can change in two years. Or maybe… everything can. I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the sleeve of my dress, my reflection staring back at me. My hand moved absentmindedly to my stomach, resting there for a second longer than necessary. My lips curled into a small smile. That alone was enough proof that everything had changed. The pain, heartbreak, and betrayal didn’t disappear, but I didn’t let it control me anymore. A soft knock came at the door, dragging me out from my thoughts. “Zoey?” I turned slightly at the familiar voice. “I’ll be out in a minute,” I replied. It was the day of my mating ceremony. Conrad and I were officially renewing our vows and the mate bond that once broke between us. Yes, I also found it so crazy and unreal that I was giving him a second chance. But over the years, he had proven himself to me. He spent the last two years carefully piecing back my trust th

  • Alpha’s Regret: Chasing Her Back   111

    Chapter 111 Zoey Malik ~•~ For a second, he just stared at me, like he’d been caught doing something he could never explain his way out of. “Who told you?” Was that what he was concerned about? My chest felt tight. Too tight. I couldn’t breathe properly. Everything was happening so fast, and I was barely holding myself together. “Just answer the question,” I replied, my voice weak. I was exhausted. I just needed to know why he brought me to his house after what he made my parents go through. I was just a kid. He took them away from me. I wanted to know why he did it, and most importantly, why he brought me into his home. Sean didn’t respond immediately. I could see a flicker of guilt flash across his face. He scratched the back of his head. “Zoey…” his words trailed off. He probably didn’t know what to say to me. I blinked back my tears. “Just tell me the truth, Sean,” I replied weakly. “I’ve already found out the whole truth. Just help me

    Chapter 110 Zoey Malik ~•~ “I think you should call Conrad.” “I think I am about to have a panic attack.” Selena and I tried our best to push open the door. But it was locked. I banged on the door several times, but it was impossible to break. I should’ve known better. The moment I told Sean I was leaving and he just… walked away, I should’ve known something was wrong. My chest tightened as the realization settled in. He had a smart home and he had locked the door through his phone. My jaw clenched hard enough to hurt, anger bubbling beneath my skin. But there was nothing I could do about it. I was trapped. “Follow me to my room,” I muttered. Selena trailed behind me while I walked to the room. When we got inside, I locked the door. I pulled out my phone. “Maybe I should call Conrad.” Even though I hated him, he was the only person I knew who could help me. Selena also needed to get back home. “Yeah, you should.” She nodded in agreement.

    Chapter 109 Sean Bradford ~•~ A part of me wanted to tell Zoey the truth. But even though I tried, I couldn’t. I couldn’t just throw all my months of hard work down the drain. I wanted to know how she found out about my mom's death. I felt really terrible, but the deed had already been done. Zoey looked at me with so much disappointment, but I just couldn’t be honest with her. I had no idea what came into me, but I grabbed her tighter even when she screamed and struggled to get away from my grip. I didn’t want her to go. I still needed her. That was the only way I could get Elara back. “Let go of me, Sean!” She continued, trying to catch her breath. Her friend was also trying to pull her. But I didn’t let go. I couldn’t. “Tell me how you found out about my mom before I can let you go,” I finally said even though I didn’t mean it. No matter what happened, I wasn’t going to let Zoey go. She signed a contract and she had to live up to it. “I saw

    Chapter 108 Zoey Malik ~•~ Selena held my hand. I took a few deep breaths to calm myself. “Your mother is dead?” I asked, trying to clarify further. He nodded. “Yes.” There was a hint of guilt in his eyes. “Okay,” I whispered. “So who was that woman? The one we went to visit the other time?” “An actress.” I blinked. “An actress?” I couldn’t believe it. “Yeah, but she’s still part of my family.” I rolled my eyes. Did he think that things would automatically become okay if he said that she was part of his family? “You had someone act as your dead mom?” I continued, still finding it difficult to process what I was hearing. “And you also added that she was sick?” The entire thing actually made me feel sick. Why would he go to such lengths just to lie to me? Then I turned to Eve, who was still quiet. “You also lied to me. You made me believe that his mom was alive even when I caught you in your lie.” She shifted uncomfortably on the cou

    Chapter 107 Zoey Malik ~•~ “It just doesn’t make sense… I mean, why would he lie about something so important,” I muttered, mostly to myself. Selena looked at me, her eyes filled with sympathy. “Maybe you should talk to him first. There has to be some sort of explanation.” “If his mom is really dead, why would he make another woman act like his mother? What is he hiding?” I’d thought of all the possible reasons why he would do something like that, but nothing made sense. There was nothing he could say to me that would be able to make me understand why he lied to me. Selena let out a sharp exhale. “Just go back home and talk to him about it. Don’t just assume things.” “Really?” I rolled my eyes at her. “You heard the kid. The woman was never sick, and Sean isn’t her child!” “I know, but you need answers and the only person who can give them to you is Sean.” I was quiet for a while before I continued. “And Eve. She made me trust her, but she knew what was

    Chapter 101 Zoey Malik ~•~ My chest tightened. Frustration burned through me. I should have handled my emotions better. Instead, I snapped at Sean—and somehow, Eve ended up caught in the middle of it. Sean didn’t believe it when I told him that I just guessed he was messing around

    Chapter 100 Sean Bradford ~•~ Ever since Zoey and I got intimate, I couldn’t stop thinking about her. I still wanted her in my bed, but I didn’t know how to bring it up. But when I saw her staring at my body for so long, I assumed she was also thinking about it. So I saw it as the pe

    Chapter 99 Zoey Malik ~•~ “So you sent that man over to my house to fight me?” Conrad’s angry voice echoed through the other end of the line. “I can’t believe you would do something like this.” I opened my mouth to speak, but he cut me off. “If you didn’t want me anymore, you could have

    Chapter 97 Sean Bradford ~•~ My patience was hanging by a thread. A really thin thread. I told them I wanted to see Conrad within five minutes, but it had been almost ten minutes since I’d been parked outside his compound. The urge to step out of my car and break through
