Semua Bab When Life Takes A Turn: Bab 1061 - Bab 1070

Zayn turned to her with the same nonchalance in his eyes.Marissa felt her heart racing. It was a strange change—she had known Zayn for at least a week now, and had seen him for all seven of the days. It never really registered in her mind, and even when she did notice him, she regarded him with contempt. Zayn was just a nondescript agent sent to protect her. The schism of status between them was as wide as the gap between a princess and a peasant.All of that was gone. On the contrary, it was her turn to be nervous and uneasy in his presence. Her erstwhile haughtiness and self-importance had escaped her like a puff of smoke.Zayn’s performance had blown her mind. He was not just any normal agent—he was a 4S-class superhuman powerhouse! She might be a hapless outsider when it came to powers like these, but she was aware of the significance of the ranks. 4S-class legends were those at the very apex of the human classes. They were the elites who were above the shackles of wealth. Anyo

To be pushed away—or more accurately, to be completely put behind an invisible wall—by Zayn like that pushed Marissa’s button. One could call her what they wanted, but she was still going to be the precious daughter of a Eurosian financial empire, a princess of the wealthy class with money that rivalled a small country’s GDP, and a woman so physically and aesthetically-endowed that not even lingerie models could compete against her charms. How many men did she have wrapped around her finger? How many times had her stunning beauty intoxicated half the males on planet Earth?However, here before her stood a Rheasian man who was completely impervious to her spellbinding beauty, and remained antipathic to her no matter what she did. That adversarial attitude was egging the pride that nestled deep behind her guile. Her temper had reached its boiling point.“Oy, Rheasian man! Or are you not a man at all? I apologized, alright? What will it take to make you forgive me?” she snapped.Her pe

“Uh-hem,” Zayn began awkwardly. One could already tell that there was a misunderstanding afoot.He hurriedly offered, “Alright, look, it’s not what you think.”And right after that, Marissa let out a moan from on top of his lap.The accusatory look of confusion from Liam, Dick, and the rest of them intensified. They gaped at him as though they were looking at an animal.Zayn felt tingles crawling all over his head. ‘Guys, this isn’t what it looks like!’Never had the thought ever cross his mind that Marissa would let out such an annoyingly audible and suggestive moan. What the hell was that supposed to mean? Was she actually a masochist? He might have held back from using his true strength, but it should have still hurt quite badly!Marissa froze as soon as the moan escaped her lips, too. Her face turned into a flustering scarlet. Shame—she felt so ashamed of herself! How could she have let something like that escape her throat?! She had never been so brutishly violated before, b

Zayn stared at her nonchalantly. “My mission is completed. It’s time for me to go home.”“No, you can’t! You’re supposed to keep me safe! I… I’m still in danger! You can’t abandon me just yet!”Liam, Dick, and the rest watched the budding exchange between the two, and took notice of the anxiety etched on Marissa’s face. It was completely antagonistic to her normal demeanor to be so worried and impassioned, so it was only a matter of seconds before cocked brows and suggestive smiles shadowed their faces.They were certain that something salacious had happened between them!“There will be other agents to fill my role.”Seeing Zayn was about to leave again alarmed Marissa even more. It was an unprecedented feeling—one not born out of her sudden timidity, but because she was on foreign land. It did not help that all of her bodyguards were dead either. Plus, Captain Horton, the man she had relied so heavily upon, had lost all of his powers as well.Of course, she was also utterly mesm

“What kind of party, exactly?” Zayn questioned once more.“I’m not sure,”” Faye replied, “Jane didn’t exactly say. All she told me was that, ‘It’s going to be quite the experience’, and that it’s tomorrow night.”“Are you… close with her at all?”Faye considered the solemness in his complexion and chuckled. “God, Zayn, what’s with the seriousness? Are you worried that Jane’s out to get me?”“That’s not what I meant,” he explained. “I just thought it wouldn’t kill to be a little more prudent.”Faye grabbed his hand and laced their fingers together. “Don’t fret, sweetie. I’ve known Jane since elementary school. She’s from a good family, and she’s decently well-off. She’s always been an upstanding, highly-motivated kind of girl. Now, she’s founded a company with her husband on a completely legal trade. She’s not gonna hurt me.”Zayn nodded as he listened. If that was what Faye thought, then he supposed he did not need to interrogate her any further. He could just call Sean when he w
