"Did you get the comic?" Zoey nodded, "Now I want to look for a novel. While I'm here anyway," Zoey said, walking to the next shelf to find the comic she wanted. Lea followed behind. "What novel are you looking for? The title? I'll help you find it. It's getting late, I don't want you heading home
Jonathan! Her own husband.The question was, why was he here? Did he come to pick her up? But Hayden was here too, so it couldn't be that they both came just to pick her up.Wait!Zoey hadn't told either Hayden or Jonathan where she was. How did they know?!"Are you done?" Jonathan asked suddenly.'

His cold words made Zoey freeze. Traitor? What?"A traitor?" Zoey stammered, her face suddenly flushed with confusion and fear. Jonathan leaned closer, his face near hers, his gaze sharp and full of warning."You told me to wait for you," Jonathan said in a low, gravelly voice, still locking his pie
Jonathan paused, casting a distant, warning-filled look at the beautiful woman beside him, floating high above. "Seems like you enjoy the extra time."Zoey's eyes widened in surprise, quickly shaking her head. "I-I was just asking. I-I promise, I'll be quiet now."Jonathan said nothing, merely stari
–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
