Free Rein Zoe Novels & Stories

Stowaway Chapter 53 Zoe's point of view. I walk out of the holding cell as a free woman. Finally, I can leave the past behind. I never thought I could kill someone, never thought I was this strong, and the strangest feeling of them all is that I have no regrets. The world is, no doubt, a safer place without the Rutherfords. I laugh as Aiden pulls me into his arms, claiming my lips in a powerful kiss as he says.

He informed retracting his weapon. Zoe exhaled dramatically, as she walked towards one of the sofas, only to stumble on a broken cable. She tripped straight into Gavin. Gavin, unprepared for the sudden collision, couldn't catch her. They went down together, hitting the floor hard—Gavin on his back, Zoe sprawled on top of him, her blonde hair falling loose around her face. For half a second, the world froze, leaving them lost in each other's eyes. The comments went feral.

Zoe clenches her teeth, and invisible smoke begins to emanate from her nose as if she were portraying an enraged dragon. “How could you!” Helios caught her hand as she was about to slap him. “Hey, my apologies. I simply wish to brighten the mood—” “By pranking me?” Helios’ lips were pursed. “I wasn’t intending to—Hey, Zoe.” Zoe rolled out of bed without looking at him. She let go of the comforter, oblivious to the fact that Helios would witness her nakedness. In any case, he has already seen it.

Once convinced, he sat, powered on the system, and began typing at a speed that would make a concert pianist jealous. I leaned against the wall, arms crossed, the image of that red-coated silhouette still carved into my mind. I knew that kind of gaze. Calculating, deliberate. Not a fan, not the press. Something quieter. More controlled. A threat wrapped in stillness. And it worked. “You know,” Zach said without looking away from his screens, “sometimes I wish Zoe had been born a cat. Easier to control. Wouldn’t turn my cookie dough into a beauty product.” “Zoe’s just life training,” I said. “Prepping you for every worst-case scenario.”

said Zoey, "I was looking through photos of Boumerank shows in Brazil and the United States. She was always with you. I'm sure she's your girlfriend." "Why are you so curious?" I asked. "I don't know," Zoey said, "female instinct." "And what is it?" I asked. "Usually women always want to be the number one," Zoey said. “But I realized my position. I'm just a prostitute who should be grateful to have been released." "You're not a whore anymore," I said. “After being free from here, you are a free person.” "I'm afraid I can't do it alone," Zoey said, "I've never been far from Saltyville. I don't know the people of Surabaya."

she reprimanded seeming to break out of her reverie. Damn! That man must have really made an impression on her for Zoey Cooper was not easily impressed. If anything, Zoey was extremely choosy and had never found anyone up to her taste. Well, she did date many guys but no one had been important to her. According to her, they were all useless rich and boring distractions. She never committed. But seeing her flustered face right now, Rhea found her curiosity growing.

Zoe was shocked and shouted while struggling for a release. "What the hell are you doing…??" I heard her say in panic. Her attitude made me so irritated that I tightened my grip on her. And I gave her the best threat ever, "You better stay still, or else I will kiss you in front of all these people. Do you want to be famous? And viral over the internet. It will be sensational news and people might even take you like my new girlfriend."

And he decided against it when he felt the cold feeling of the gun against his thighs, if he tried what he thought, he would become crippled right away. “Maze, I will see you later, okay?” Crypto said and walked out of the club with the girl. He didn’t think he would see maze again. Crypto was surprised to see his men with others unconscious, on the ground…he side eyed the tiny girl and wondered whether she was able to render them unconscious with her size. That is impossible…his men was one of the best militants in the country… for them to be made unconscious by a small girl will make a very good joke.

Realizing that Zoey wasn’t bluffing but was genuinely cutting ties, Jordan reluctantly signed his name, followed by Dahlia, who threw the pen onto the table in frustration. Zoey cheerfully stowed the document in her bag. “Mr. Harmon, Ms. Baker, I’ll wire the 130,000 to your account shortly.” Jordan snorted and stormed off. Dahlia glared. “Zoey, you’re an ungrateful wretch!” As the door slammed, Zoey chuckled softly, her shoulders shaking with laughter. For the first time, she was truly free of them. Was she sad? Not in the least. Instead, she felt utterly liberated.

It was easy to insult and make jest of her back then, but not anymore. Rina knew the Zoey she was seeing is different from the one she knew fifteen years ago. She turned and watched as the two lady entered the boss's room. "You made a mistake by coming back to this city. Philip will never be yours." she muttered and went away.

Well, she was popular among the celebrities for her good job at photography. She is the best at what she does and soon next, her table will be filled with a lot of people requesting for her services.
