–As planned, Zoey and Jonathan were leaving for Paris tonight."Come visit often, Zoey. If Jonathan doesn't feel like coming, you can come by yourself. Or I'll ask Raphael to pick you up. Just make sure to visit!" Selena said, hugging Zoey."Yes, I'll try to visit more often, especially to see you,
"Y-you're not going to hit me, are you?" Zoey panicked when she saw Jonathan removing his belt—she scooted up to the headboard, afraid he was going to whip her.They had already returned to the mansion, and now Zoey was battling her fear. It looked like she was about to face a very painful punishmen
After finishing their meal, they continued shopping at the mall. Zoey was left feeling heartbroken and annoyed, as Jonathan spent more time with Selena than with her, leaving her standing miserably outside the store. Feeling jealous of Jonathan's closeness with Selena, Zoey chose to wait outside.Ho
