Love in the dark Chapter 121
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

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

Hence, when she spoke again, Zoey’s words sounded slightly muffled.“I can go to someone else if you do not wish to help.”Laurence admired her for bearing such wishful thoughts.“Did I say I wouldn't help you?”“Well, then hurry up and loosen the tie!”She was utterly annoyed at being kept hanging. Laurence chuckled softly. His eyes held a hint of youthful vigor when he laughed. He held onto her nape, his breath hot against her skin.“Let’s keep it this way. I prefer you like this.”For the entire night, she was like a small boat caught in a storm. Tossed around in the waves against her will. She had no choice but to cling tightly to the only salvation in sight. By daybreak, she had lost her voice. She sounded as hoarse as could be. Her throat hurt so much that she refused to speak. However, she had to admit that it had been a long time since she last felt so satisfied.When Laurence woke up in the morning, he looked satiated. Zoey glanced at him before she fell asleep again in mere s

Zoey cleared her throat and intentionally ignored his question.“Mr. Scott, could you please go through the schedule and let me know if there are any areas that need to be revised?"Her voice still sounded pretty hoarse. Laurence raised a brow but ignored the fact that she deliberately disregarded his question. His thumb rested casually on the document as he scanned through it.“Postpone the meeting scheduled for the day after tomorrow. Reschedule it for another day."Zoey was quiet for a brief moment.“That meeting…”It was a meeting with the leaders of ES Corporation, a high-end technology company that had made rapid progress domestically over the past two years, which they were in the process of acquiring. The acquisition case was actually in its final stages, with only a few details left to be finalized. Zoey had just started when she was cut off by Laurence.“Postpone it.”“Okay.”She did not continue any further. Laurence must have something much more important to deal with for h

Winter quietly reached its end. And spring was just around the corner. Zoey was glad that spring was on its way. On her way home from work, she stopped by a florist and bought herself a bouquet of pink roses. She had no one to send her flowers, but nothing stopped her from getting some for herself.If nobody loved her, she decided, she would need to love herself more. She put the flowers in a vase in her bedroom, and set it on her desk. They looked lovely. She opened the windows to let in some fresh air. Then, she took a shower, changed into her pajamas, and settled down to catch the latest episode of a popular reality show.Halfway through the show, she went downstairs to get herself a can of ice-cold soda from the fridge. She rummaged around for quite a while but to no avail. It was only then that she recalled that Laurence didn’t like all this “junk food”, so the maids would not stock the fridge with them. Even the two cans which Zoey had hidden in the fridge were nowhere to be foun

Zoey knew where she stood with Laurence. She would never dream of competing with Sarah for a spot in his heart. She was no match for Sarah. And she didn’t need Tristan to remind her of that.“There’s no need to worry about me, Mr. Gray.”Zoey looked impervious to his words. She pushed him away coldly after giving him a step on the foot with her high heels. Tristan had to admit that she was an attractive one. Much prettier than the wannabe celebrities and influencers that he’d played around with before.It might be because of her beauty, along with how men always yearned for what they could not have, Tristan found himself unable to stop his thoughts about her. Once he had her, however, he would likely find her boring and ditch her as he did his past flings. His words were harsh.“Miss Jenner, do you enjoy setting foot in others’ relationships?”“Not as much as you do, Mr. Gray.” Zoey flashed him a sarcastic smile.Tristan was taken aback by what she said. He hadn’t expected her to be so

When Laurence gave it some thought, he realized that this had indeed been the situation over time.When he and Sarah were dating, she would frequently throw tantrums and get upset over trivial matters, and he would have to placate her.But she had never asked him for help with her family matters. Rather, she would go to Shawn or Tristan for help instead.Laurence mulled over the notion. “Who was the one who told her father about the project?”Tristan wasn’t sure about that, but given Laurence’s dead serious expression, he was certain that he knew something about the project.“It’s a bad idea?”“The local government has no plans to develop that plot of land.” Laurence contemplated for a moment before he continued, “Tell her to warn her father not to act recklessly, or he’ll risk losing everything.”Tristan had considered helping Sarah’s father for her sake.The Grays’ could afford to invest in the project, but the Jenners’ did not have a steady enough foundation yet.They did not have t
Love in the dark Chapter 128
News that Zoey was married was more jaw-dropping than the ruckus that Mrs. Lewis had caused.It was a shocking piece of information.James Lewis was a well-known womanizer. He was never one to let a pretty girl pass him by without harassing her. He had even committed the heinous act of assaulting an intern after getting her drunk. His reputation had long been in tatters, so nothing about him surprised anyone anymore.Mrs. Lewis was utterly embarrassed by Zoey’s words and found herself in a predicament. Having worked alongside Laurence for such a long time, his demeanor and way of speaking seemed to have rubbed off on Zoey. Cool and imposing, she warned, “Mrs. Lewis, if you continue to make a scene, I will call the police.”Still, Mrs. Lewis refused to back off even though she was intimidated by Zoey’s conduct. “Just you wait.”Zoey stood her ground. “Anne, get the security.”Mrs. Lewis had no wish to be dragged away by the security, and she definitely hadn’t expected Zoey to be so re
