Love in the dark Chapter 115
Zoey still remembered his promise to protect her all those years ago. Even though this happened when they were teenagers, she never forgot. Back then, Zoey had shielded Laurence from the whip and was in so much pain she couldn’t even cry out, and tears could only stream down her face.She was still a proud young lady then, so she gritted her teeth to hold back her cries and muffle her sniffles. Laurence had been blindfolded, so his hearing was keener. Zoey leaned limply against the wall in a dark corner, her face pale.Laurence asked, “Were you crying?”Zoey hastily brushed her tears away and denied it.“No, I wasn’t.”The young man smiled.“I heard you.”Zoey remained silent, embarrassed. After some time, Laurence’s voice broke the silence.“When we get out, I’ll protect you.”His voice carried through the air, its hoarseness causing a ripple in the still atmosphere. Wide-eyed, she responded.“I’m afraid you’ll lie to me. Let’s make a pinky promise.”He grinned and answered gruffly.“

Laurence didn’t like watching her confess her love to another man and show them her vulnerable side. He tightened his hold on Zoey’s waist to prevent her from falling off his lap. He purposely bit down on her lip in retaliation and sighed pretentiously when he tasted her sweet blood.“Why don’t you ever learn?”“Why do you always do things that displease me?” he thought.Laurence’s suit jacket was draped over her body, and the car’s heater was on, but Zoey still felt cold.She clutched his sleeve tightly and asked, “Can you take me away?”Laurence remained indifferent and peeled off her fingers one by one, looking at her pointedly.“Zoey, I’m Laurence.”Not the man she wanted to confide in. Laurence had never seen her so drunk before, so he was surprised to see her acting this way. Zoey nodded.“I know.” Looking down, she mumbled, “I know you’re Laurence Scott.”His surname was Scott, and he was seventeen this year. Confused, Zoey was suddenly thrown back to the chaotic summer, and her

Unfortunately, Zoey woke up the next day with no recollection of yesterday’s events. The hangover she had was horrible, and she was only left with pieces of memory here and there. Her head was heavy and throbbing while her stomach ached like she hadn’t thrown everything up yet.Slowly sitting up from the bed, she racked her brains trying to remember what she said to Laurence last night but couldn’t recall anything except for her wailing while hanging on to him for dear life. So, she sat on the bed dejectedly, in a daze. It wasn’t that she regretted drinking so much out of anger but that her body was feeling very uncomfortable. Laurence was gone, and she was wearing a clean silk nightgown. Occasionally, memories of her throwing up on Laurence when they arrived home and clinging to him would return to her. Zoey worried that she accidentally let slip something she shouldn’t have. After all, they did say that drinking makes one spill their guts, and she had no intention of pouring her he

Despite still being at a loss, she nodded in agreement dazedly.“Okay.”She must have said something to offend Lauerence last night, and not to mention, the man hated to see her crying or acting weak. She gave up getting answers and decided to stop bothering him.“I’ll hang up now.”Laurence’s expression remained unchanged as he tossed his phone onto the table and looked at everyone else in the room.“Go on.”The manager, who had been presenting earlier, bit the bullet and continued explaining his plan. He wiped off his sweat, pitying himself for having his turn when the president was in a bad mood.“Regarding the acquisition of ES Corp, we’re still at the evaluation stage. The company’s–”Laurence, who sat at the head of the table, cut the manager off.“I’ve already given you months to conduct the evaluation. Has there been any progress at all?”The manager immediately broke out in cold sweat. This acquisition case was tough, so he explained.“Mr. Scott, the terms the other party is o

Robert took the chance James was offering and got out of the embarrassing situation.“Let’s eat.”While James headed to the dining area, Zoey beamed at her father.“This is the young talent you chose for me?”Robert was able to acknowledge what she said without even changing his expression.“Mr. Lewis isn't too old.”Zoey smiled.“He already has a wife.”Robert snapped.“It’s useless to mention things like that! If he likes you, you better serve him well and not ruin my business.”Zoey doubted she was his biological daughter. After all, what father would do this to their daughter?“Think of your mother. Don’t make me do things you won’t like.”“I know.”“What have you heard about the piece of land on the city outskirts?”“I don’t know. Laurence never tells me things like this.”Zoey’s head dropped, deliberately acting like she was in a pickle. But she couldn’t hold the expression for long before smirking.“But I did overhear his call with his father. The government plans to use that la

James was a frequent offender when it came to using dirty methods like these. Fortunately, the medicine wasn’t working too fast. Zoey nearly hacked up a lung. She knew what James had forced her to take without even asking.Clenching her hands into fists, she asked, “Mr. Lewis, aren’t you afraid your wife will find out?”James was notorious for being afraid of his wife, so even if he did mess around with others, he made sure to hide it from his wife. At Zoey’s words, James’ face immediately twisted.“This is none of your business! I see that you’re still playing tricks on me. Well, I admire your courage, Miss Jenner.”Zoey pretended to be calm.“Mr. Scott will come for me.”In reality, she was bluffing. Laurence hadn’t sent anyone to watch her, so he wouldn’t know where she was. If he doesn’t return home, he won’t even know that she wasn’t home yet. So, she was just saying this to scare James. James tsked.“What is he to you? Is he your boss or your benefactor? Let me remind you that yo

Fortunately, Zoey didn’t sustain any serious injuries. Putting up with the pain, she quickly called for a car while she was still conscious and asked the driver to send her home. By the time she got home, Zoey was barely hanging on to her inhibitions. The drug was so strong it was robbing her of her sanity and switching her submissive instincts on.She staggered out of the car and slurred, “Thanks.”The cold night wind somewhat eased the heat off her face. Zoey patted her face, realizing she had made a dumb decision. She should’ve headed to the hospital straightaway instead. Well, it was too late now. She wouldn’t reach the hospital in time. Right now, all she wanted was to reach her bathroom and soak in some cold water.The lights in the villa were still on, so she wobbled towards them. After she changed into her bedroom slippers, a familiar voice spoke out.“You’re home?”Zoey swallowed, agonized by the changes happening to her body. She lifted her head to look at the man who was spl
Love in the dark Chapter 122
Zoey felt as though she was being submerged in a warm tide as the water soaked her feet and wetted her body. Her hands were tied behind her back, and the tie binding her wasn’t very secure, yet she couldn’t seem to escape no matter how she tried. She opened her eyes shakily.Like a spectator, Laurence sat on the bed and watched as Zoey panted, enjoying the look of her flushed face. Laurence was using silence as torture to extract information from her, who was like a fish deprived of water. Tears filled her eyes, and her easily bruised skin was red from her fierce struggle with the tie binding her. Breaking out in cold sweat, Zoey panted and slowly began.“I ran into some trouble tonight.”It was tough to fool Laurence, so she had no intention of lying. However, she wasn’t going to tell him everything either. She didn’t want Laurence to know that Robert was her father because she might be treated as an illegitimate daughter.Robert would never admit his marriage with Zoey’s mother, nor
