Broken Vows: A Billionaire's Secret의 모든 챕터: 챕터 171 - 챕터 180

CHAPTER 171NATALIE'S POV"Get up and fight me."I watched my best friend hovering over Luke's weak, bloodied frame.Angry. Vengeful. Sweaty. Poised to throw more punches.Delia's private investigators were able to track Jordan and his brother. It's been three days since they've been in our custody. Three days of torture for Luke.Delia had Luke engage her in a fight as her revenge for what she'd gone through when she'd been kidnapped by him.And every day of that one-hour physical fight, he lost. Woefully. Pitifully.On the second day, Delia had landed an uppercut that ended up displacing two of his teeth.She had blackened one of his eyes; it was painfully swollen. While she had not a scratch."Please, this is torture," Jordan begged. "You've proven your point, Delia. You can fight and can beat him."He was chained to his seat and made to watch her beat his younger brother every day.Delia lifted one of her feet in a midair kick. Jordan fell backwards, his chair beneath him. He whee

CHAPTER 173ZYLIAH'S POVIt was ninety minutes, give or take, that I, Sayge, and the kids were in the game room.We engaged in different games, posing as different virtual characters in each of these games.I was the first to grow tired but left them to keep playing. Sayge joined me twenty minutes later.Comfortably relaxed on the sofa while I watched the kids continue playing, I felt lighter than I'd felt two hours ago."Tired?" Sayge adjusted so he was facing me.The game room was semi-dark with dull lights on. The bright lights were turned off.The only bright lights were those from the screens the kids were playing with."Wonderfully so."I found it difficult to take my eyes off him as he also didn't avert his gaze.Our eyes locked in, and my body reacted strongly to the emotions riddling his topaz blues. They affected me, and I couldn't deny it even if I wanted to."Why didn't you tell me?" He asked, his gaze slowly trailing down to my lips.I gulped, clearing my throat to get hi

CHAPTER 175ZYLIAH'S POV"Yes, I am. Is something wrong?" He lifted my tear-streaked face to his, wiping tears with his thumb.He lowered his head to drop a soft peck between my eyebrows."Let's go have a seat."That was when I saw I was already in the living room. He gently pulled me to sit with him on the sofa.I sniffled, wiping the rest of my tears. It was embarrassing having him see me like this, especially with what the reason behind it was. I'd accepted to date him, yet I was crying over another guy."So, care to tell me why you're crying?" He caressed my back.We were yet to have sex, and I didn't see myself going there with him anytime soon, but he was the only guy, after Sayge, that I'd felt so comfortable with.Having sex with him wasn't going to be a problem, but I had thought I didn't want to betray Sayge by sleeping with someone else. Stupid me.All this time, I'd been thinking he was faithful even though he was angry. He had openly confessed to me, so I thought if he lo

CHAPTER 177ZYLIAH'S POV"I had massive fun this afternoon, Kevin." I edged forward to bring his face close enough to drop a kiss on his mouth.He trapped my lips with his, elongating the kiss. It was sweet, actually. And he was a gentleman to the core. No inappropriate words or touchy-feely that made me feel objectified or uncomfortable.Hell, the whole afternoon unplanned date had even gone better than I'd thought. He didn't bring up what happened earlier on. Didn't force me to talk about it.I knew he would be interested in knowing; he just wanted to respect my space, and if I wanted to tell him, it should be on my own time and of my own accord.He broke off the kiss."I'm glad you did. Feel better now?" He tenderly tucked a wild strand behind my ear, brushing my face in the process.I nodded. "Yes. All thanks to you.""I'm glad you do feel better."Moments of silence that were anything but awkward. It was more warm and comfortable. His eyes roamed my face; he had a smile on."I'll

CHAPTER 179ZYLIAH'S POV"I can't believe Victoria." I shook my head ruefully, feeling a sense of pity for the man who had disowned me because of his other family.Maybe he didn't deserve my pity. "No, he definitely didn't deserve my pity," I corrected, seeing as he also wanted to get my company from me after losing it through his carelessness.If I was being honest, I knew Sayge was telling the truth when he told me my father was a bad man.The company was never his—well, partly his, but never wholly his. He was supposed to be partners with Sayge's father but had let greediness take over him.Well, he was getting whatever he deserved. Karma had come for him."She got what she deserved," Grandma Charlotte contributed. She was currently relaxing in her favorite massage chair. "She tried to steal from her husband but got scammed. Sometimes, Karma is a funny trickster."My best friends and I agreed. "I cannot even believe that I went through all of what I went through just to get Jordan
