Love in the dark Chapter 272 Granting Your Wish
"You wanted to quit long ago, didn't you? I'm granting your wish." Hearing him saying so, Zoey could only nod. It was as if she had dreamed about the fight in the morning, and Laurence being out of control was just a figment of her imagination. Quiet for a long while, Zoey glanced at the door and pursed her lips. "When I woke up just now, I discovered the door was locked." Laurence put his suit jacket on the sofa and grunted as he coldly raised his brow. "Yes, I locked it." Zoey pinched her nail hard, still feeling the pain in her chest as she took a deep breath. "Why?" "Isn't he doing too much? Am I a prisoner to him?" she thought. Laurence didn't reply, and she tensed up as he stepped over menacingly. Stopping in front of her, he looked askance at her. "You wish to go out?" Zoey subconsciously took two steps back and looked up to meet his eyes. "Can't I?" She felt the cold, hard surface of the wall as she pressed her back against it. He then asked, "You want to lea
Love in the dark Chapter 273 Unclean
Zoey rarely heard him say anything so mean and was stunned by his hurtful words. A surge of cold numbness rose from the bottom of her feet to the back of her head. She felt dizzy; her face gradually showed her sorrow as the man stared coldly at her like she was a stranger. Feeling numb, Zoey sniffled and said in a nasal and hoarse voice, "Aren't you torturing yourself as well by keeping me by your side?" She was as pale as a ghost. However, Laurence refused to allow himself to be moved by her pitiful look, thinking that his sympathy led to him being betrayed and cheated. Laurence mercilessly grabbed her face, his eyes devoid of pity. "Stop wasting your breath. I can do whatever I want." He let her go and scanned her whole body like he was sizing up a merchandise item. "Go clean yourself up." Knowing he meant it as an insult, Zoey felt humiliated. However, Laurence wanted to make her feel worse and added coldly, "Make sure you're squeaky clean." Even Zoey's fists we
Love in the dark Chapter 274 Disgust
Zoey meant her apology. She thought it was her fault and wished he would forgive him. Knowing she would suffer if he got angry, Zoey naturally didn't want to incur his rage and preferred apologizing. "Saying sorry is not going to kill me," she thought. But Laurence seemed to look grimmer despite her apology. Too exhausted to fight with him, Zoey lowered her gaze to avoid seeing his cold expression. Her being so did not turn him off. He grabbed her wrists and turned her around so he wouldn't need to see her face or meet her eyes. Zoey could no longer feel any warmth from him. She was like a stranded fish, deprived of air and suffocating. However, the man behind her was insatiable. He kept thrusting into her harder and harder, trying to vent his frustration and energy on her. He treated her with no respect at all and left bruises all over. Biting the back of her hand, Zoey refused to make a sound and slowly got used to it. Time passed, and the torture finally se
Love in the dark Chapter 275 Goodbye
Zoey experienced a form of humiliation she had never felt before.It was as if Laurence had forgotten about her. It had been a week since he came home. During that week, Zoey had no one to talk to; she could only get information about the outside world by watching television.The news of Zoey from the hotel that night was still the hot topic of discussion for all the entertainment news channels.The news that Laurence's wife was cheating on him with Shawn was not something that was explicitly discussed, but everyone was talking about it in private.Even when the reporter did not get a clear picture of the woman's face on the bed, the public still made assumptions based on their intuition. That, paired with the deliberate fanning of flames by others who wanted to see her humiliated, made the rumors spread like wildfire.Zoey watched the news coverage about her calmly. She was now grateful for Laurence's coat, which he had tossed at her when he found her at the hotel. At least it co
Love in the dark Chapter 276 Grievance
Zoey was exhausted when she got home, so she changed into pajamas and sat on the balcony to watch the sunset mindlessly.After a while, she went into her bedroom to clear Laurence's belongings and placed them in a large cardboard box. She thought about his toiletries and decided that he would probably never use them again, so she tossed them all into the trash. After she was done, she realized that besides her slightly emptier wardrobe, her house seemed unchanged.Zoey took the cardboard box out to the living room. When the time was right, and he wasn't still upset, she would return his items.Now, all that was left binding her to him was their marriage certificate. But perhaps soon, that too would become a divorce certificate.The following day, Zoey took the subway to the office.The news of her termination had spread in the company, and due to the sudden nature of the information, no one knew what had exactly happened.Zoey's colleagues were the most shocked by the news as t
Love in the dark Chapter 277 Where Are You
Zoey didn't want to argue with him in the office, especially not in front of that many people.She thought about it for a second and decided she would be courteous. "Thank you for your care, Mr. Scott."Laurence raised an eyebrow. "You're welcome," he replied mildly.Zoey picked up her belongings, and with her back to the large window, she was illuminated by the bright rays of sunlight, making her skin appear delicate and pale. "I'll get going first," she said as she bit her lips.She entered the elevator and left the office.The discussions did not cease after Zoey had left the office, and the office was buzzing with the wild nature of the conversations."Why do I have a feeling that Mr. Scott's behavior towards Zoey is weird?""I don't think it's weird. I can tell that he is very angry with her.""I don't know; I sense that his hatred stems from love.""You have been reading too many novels! How could there be any love between an employee and her employer?""What do you kno
Love in the dark Chapter 278 Pretending to Be in Love
Zoey sent him her location. From how he ignored her calls, she thought Laurence had deleted or blocked her contact. So, she tried sending him a few Whatsapp messages and was surprised to see that he had received them.Zoey waited at the sanatorium for another hour before finally receiving a message from Laurence right before sunset. "Come to the lobby."Zoey gripped her phone tighter and gave herself a pep talk as she stood up. There was nothing to be afraid of; their relationship was already in tatters. It couldn't get any worse than that.Zoey saw Laurence as she made her way to the lobby. He was wearing an elegant black fur coat, making him stand out from the crowd.Laurence watched her approach him, and his gaze paused on her cheek. Two weeks had passed, and he could barely see the mark on her face. Yet, he felt as if it were still swollen.Laurence knew exactly how unforgiving his slap was that night.He suddenly touched her face and was about to ask her if it still hurt,

Even if Janet was her mother, she had no right to meddle in their private businesses.Eventually, the doctor came in to inform them that Janet needed to rest, so they left the room.On the way out, Mrs. Scott, who held Zoey's hand, realized it was mostly skin and bones.
