Semua Bab The Jerk Billionaire and his Spoiled Child (English): Bab 51 - Bab 60

"Z—Zach... do you really mean what you just said?" Laureen asked, her voice trembling with disbelief.Zach used to be so gentle and caring toward her. How could everything change in a single heartbeat?"I’m dead serious, Laureen. There is too much at stake here. My brother’s future and my child’s future are involved. Did you honestly think I’d be happy about what you did?"She grabbed his hand again, tears streaming down her face. "Please, Zach. Forgive me. I didn't mean for any of this to happen. We’ll find a way to get Cyan back. I’ll humble myself; I’ll even convince her to return. If you want, I’ll stay away for a while so you can win back her heart and trust."Zach took a deep breath before pulling his hand away for the second time. "It’s probably for the best that you stay away. That’s the least you can do to help me—if you’re actually sincere about that apology," he said coldly.Without another word, Zach turned his back on her and walked out of the hotel room. Laureen stood fr

Cyan’s eyes stretched wide; she was frozen, pinned to Zach’s lap. She was in a state of absolute shock. Why the hell did he kiss her? Zach’s lips moved slowly—teasing, inviting her to respond. Instinctively, her eyes began to flutter shut.So, this is what it feels like to be kissed by the man I’ve loved all these years? She felt as if her heart would explode from a chaotic mix of emotions. He had "kissed" her on their wedding day, but Zach had placed his thumb over her lips then so their mouths wouldn't actually touch. Technically speaking, this was their first real kiss.But as her eyes fully closed, an image of Laureen flashed in her mind. She had caught them kissing so many times—sometimes deep, sometimes just a quick peck.The excitement she felt vanished instantly, replaced by a wave of fury and disgust. Her eyes snapped open, finding Zach with his eyes still closed. How dare this man kiss me after kissing someone else?She shoved him away violently and slapped him with all the

Cyan remained rooted to the spot, leaning against the doorframe as her fingers grazed her swollen lips. She cursed herself for wondering what had possessed Zach to kiss her so ruthlessly—and more importantly, why she had let him. She should have fought him off, should have done anything to keep his mouth away from hers.But what did she actually do?He always caught her off guard, playing her like a fool every single time! "Damn it!" she hissed under her breath.She jumped when the doorbell suddenly shrieked. Assuming Zach was back and refusing to take a hint, she sucked in a sharp breath and yanked the door open with a violent swing."What the hell do you want now?! I told you to get lost—"The words died in her throat. Kirk stood there, clutching a paper bag from a local restaurant. Cyan blinked rapidly, swallowing hard as a wave of humiliation washed over her. She had just snarled at him for absolutely no reason, and the stunned, wide-eyed expression on his face made her want to si

The smile vanished from Zach’s lips, and he stopped chewing the moment Kirk’s words hit him. He slowly looked up, catching a mocking glint in Kirk’s eyes. However, instead of letting the man see how much the comment irritated him, Zach let out a low, casual chuckle."Well, I suppose we simply have different perspectives. Being well-taken care of by someone isn't slavery, Mr. Anderson. It’s what we call a love language," he countered smoothly.Kirk nodded, letting out a dry laugh. "Right. But it becomes slavery the moment that person fails to appreciate the effort. Wouldn’t you agree, Mr. Samaniego?"Cyan sighed heavily as she watched the two men trade barbs. It wasn’t that she was taking Zach’s side, but she desperately wanted to eat in peace. She finally spoke up, her voice cold and final."Could you two just stop talking and eat? I’m losing my appetite.""Blame your attorney—" Zach started."If you insist on arguing, Zach, why don't you just get out and go home," she interrupted, he

Cyan was left dumbfounded by Kirk’s words. She cleared her throat before meeting his eyes. "Are you thinking that I won't follow through with the divorce?"Kirk exhaled sharply. "You may be angry with him for now, but there's a very thin line between rage and love. I’m just afraid we’re doing all this for nothing.""Don't worry, Kirk. I won't let your help go to waste."Her mind was made up. No matter what Zach did, she would push through with the legal separation."That's good to hear. I'll head out first," he said, turning his back on her.She watched Kirk’s retreating figure until he stepped into the elevator. Taking a deep breath, she shook her head and walked back inside...Zach hurried out of his car as soon as he reached the mansion. Even from outside, he could hear Zendaya’s hysterical screaming and sobbing.He had been in the middle of a conversation with Kirk earlier when Silva called, frantic, saying they couldn't calm Zendaya down and that she was violently acting out.
