Semua Bab The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning: Bab 631 - Bab 640

"Ma'am, are you feeling unwell?"Madelyn dug her fingernails into her palm. "Get out!" she said."Your face...""I said, get out!"After the meeting, Zach did not go straight to the hotel. Instead, he went for dinner at a restaurant with Cecilia.Based on the calendar, Valentine's Day was every fourteenth of the month.An attendant brought over a stalk of red rose and placed it in front of the two.Zach took a sip of wine and said, "You went to see her at the hospital today?"Cecilia sliced into her steak, tasting a piece. Glancing at Zach, she said, "Are you worried about what I might've done to her?" She smirked. "You know me. I only react when provoked. She crossed a line, so I set her straight. She'll be okay. Just soothe her for a bit."Zach's gaze turned icy. "You hit her?""Mhm," Cecilia did not deny it. She continued, "Part of it's personal. In another life, she tore us apart. What I did? That's going easy on her."Zach signaled the violinist to stop playing. He tipp

"I heard from Jane that you haven't been going to the studio?"Madelyn pursed her lips. She felt some come up behind her and wrap their arms around her waist. She pinched Zach's hand to signal him to stop moving."Sorry, Prof. Monet. I've been feeling unwell, so I was at the hospital. I forgot to inform Jane about it.""What are you down with?""Just a mild fever. I'll be discharged tomorrow," she replied."It's been raining a lot recently. Stay warm and take care of your health.""I will, sir."Madelyn waited for Leonardo to hang up before she put her phone away. She wanted to push Zach away, but her struggle was to no avail. In the end, she gave up. "How much longer will you hold me? There are other people in the room.""They won't look," he replied.Madelyn retorted, "You're making me uncomfortable. Let go."Zach scrutinized her face. The swelling had almost gone away. Other than the unknown marks on her face, she had almost recovered.'She's gone through so much and been

Madelyn forcefully wiped away the traces he had left on her. She did not know if he did it on purpose.Before work, she stopped at the restroom and saw a small cut on her lip in the mirror.She touched it lightly and thought, 'Is he a dog?'She had hidden a mark on her neck with makeup before getting to work.The sound of someone flushing echoed in the washroom. The door opened, and Jane emerged from within the stall. She glanced indifferently at Madelyn and walked to the sink next to hers. Then, she washed her hands and walked away without even greeting.Madelyn had always noticed the unexplainable hostility Jane had toward her. While the two of them were from the same studio, they hardly talked. Madelyn only spoke to Jane when she had to.Madelyn quickly freshened up and returned to the studio.She opened the door and saw Clement holding a stack of documents."Madelyn? Aren't you sick and on leave? Why'd you come back so quickly?"Madelyn smiled and said, "Mhm. I was dischar

The elevator doors slid open, and Zach stepped out, tugging Madelyn along toward the emergency stairs. The lights in the stairwell blinked as they sensed the two of them. He quickly pushed her against the wall.Panting slightly, he leaned in so close to hers that their noses were almost touching. "How about we do it here?"The dim yellow light accentuated Zach's chisel face. Madelyn's heart raced, filled with anxiety and a touch of fear. His eyes looked softer than usual. She tried to hold back her anger. "Zach, don't do anything stupid. Someone could see us.".Zach lightly touched his lips to hers. "Just one, okay?"Madelyn glanced at the staircase, her chest trembling. "You promised not to force me," she said, her voice shaky and on the verge of tears.Zach leaned over her ear, exhaling warm breath on her neck. A tingling sensation shot through her entire body. He leaned against the wall with his other hand, and a sense of flirtation filled the place immediately.Madelyn though

The night in France looked a lot like Venturia. The city lights shone like diamonds.Zach gazed at the view from the eighty-eighth floor, his eyes all icy. He had a cigarette hanging from his lips, and he had to block the wind with his hand to light it.A puff of smoke drifted away from Zach, and Cecilia Samford moved closer, sounding kinda irritated as she asked, "Zach, I've given in to you twice already. What more do you want? You know you can't be with Madelyn."Cecilia, just like Madelyn, had been reborn. She had thought that by getting involved early, she could get a bigger share of Jardin Corporation after helping Zach start it up, so she could control him. But now, everything seemed to be going all wrong.Cecilia realized that Zach's connection with Madelyn was tangled and tricky. Even though Cecilia and Zach had been tight in a previous life, now she sensed she was just a piece in his quest for power.Zach glanced at Cecilia. He noticed that she bore a strong resemblance t
