Zoey leaned against the car door and dozed off on the way to the airport. When she woke up, she found that somewhere along the way, she had shifted to rest her head on Laurence’s shoulder instead.By then, they had already arrived at the airport. In her sleepy daze, Laurence led her to the first class lounge and ordered meals for the both of them. As Zoey was hungry, she did not protest even though she did not particularly enjoy the food served.Laurence cut the food into smaller pieces and pushed it in front of her. “Here, have this.” Zoey muttered her thanks.After the simple meal in the empty lounge, it was about time to board the plane.All of Zoey’s documents, including their marriage certificate which she had only glanced at briefly before she placed it in his study drawer for safekeeping, were handled by Laurence. It was a short flight which was estimated to take about two hours.Zoey took another nap during the flight and somehow woke up to find that she had leaned on Laure

“What a pretty secretary,” Lucas Carlson complimented sincerely.Lucas and Laurence had met during their time studying abroad, and they managed to keep their friendship afloat all these years.Laurence had to admit, Zoey was very striking and beautiful indeed.After some pleasantries, Lucas got down to business. "The Jenners’ case is not a difficult one to handle, you can rest assured."The mention of 'the Jenners' caught Zoey’s attention. She wasn’t sure if Lucas was referring to Robert Jenner. But she couldn’t think of another Jenner who might need Laurence’s help.“Thank you for your help.”“Don’t mention it.”Lucas had brought someone with him today. She was a young lady who looked to be around Zoey’s age. Lucas introduced her to them, “This is my fiancée, Clarissa.”Clarissa looked cheerful and lively. She greeted them with a wide smile. “Mr. Scott, right? I’ve heard about you from Luke.”It has never occurred to Laurence that this was Lucas’ type. His fiancée looked like she wa

All the emotions and desire in Laurence’s eyes faded away in an instant.He slowly pulled away and backed off.The overwhelming sense of pressure Zoey felt from behind her disappeared as he withdrew. She did not mean to hint at anything else. That was just a calm statement of fact. A huge disparity in status had always existed between the both of them in this deal they struck.Laurence was the one who had always been in control, he had initiated the deal, set the rules, and had the final say on everything.Her thoughts never mattered.So why would he be worried about her getting pregnant again? She wouldn’t be able to, anyway.As he had said previously, ultimately it was her body that was being violated. She wouldn’t make things difficult for herself.Zoey blinked. “Are you going to continue, Laurence?”If he wasn’t, she was ready to catch some sleep.She was really worn out.After a long pause, she heard a cold and restrained voice with a hint of indifference, "No."She gave a hum of

Zoey could tell that he wasn’t in the best of moods from the view of his back alone.She felt that he wasn’t in this state earlier tonight. At least he wasn’t as upset as he was right now. Had something happened?But Zoey wasn’t too bothered. After all, she held no control over Laurence’s emotions.Sarah Jenner was the only one who could affect him.Zoey went back to the bedroom after she downed half a glass of water.She had just laid back on the bed and was about to go back to sleep when her hands were grabbed and pinned above her head. She was startled awake. It wasn’t until she saw the man before her that she heaved a sigh of relief.Laurence smelled strongly of cigarettes.She didn’t even have the time to ask him what was wrong before he forced a kiss on her. Her wrists were tied to the headboards with a tie, and she was left with no means to resist.She knew that Laurence was angry, but she really hated it when he vented his anger toward other people out on her.It made her feel

Zoey did not know what to term her time with Laurence. They were not on a date per se, but it was true that it was just the two of them.Laurence asked Zoey for the address as he drove.After a moment of hesitation, Zoey gave him the address on Stork Street. She was anxious as she hadn’t been back in many years. The view along the journey appeared quite foreign to her. “Please drive slower, you’ll have to stop at the entrance of the alley.Laurence reached out to stroke her hair and acknowledged her instructions. He seemed to be in a much better mood than he was the night before.He chuckled at the thought of something. His attractive eyes were slightly upturned when he smiled, which gave him a somewhat foxy look. “Sarah used to tell me that Southgrove was a nice place with lots of beautiful people. I guess she wasn’t lying.”Southgrove was a quaint town.Even the weather felt much nicer there.Zoey was distracted when he said that. She had told him the exact same thing before.He was

Zoey turned away from him to evade his touch, then she forced a smile and said, “I’m really alright.”They passed several traffic lights, crossed two main streets, and arrived at Stork Street.Laurence pulled up by the side of the road. “Is this it?”The sight of the alley which had hardly changed made Zoey feel slightly better. “Yes.”"Is this your home?"Zoey had nothing to hide. “My grandmother’s.”The cobblestoned alley was peaceful, with walls covered with vines of creeping plants that had withered over the winter.Zoey grew up in a very loving family, and she had a happy childhood.If it weren’t for those changes, she reckoned that she’d lead a pretty good life today.Zoey wore a light grey coat and a pretty hat that covered part of her face. She looked quite different from her usual appearance at the office.Laurence stood aside and observed her. Somehow, he got the feeling that she seemed very lonely. She looked like a lost child as she stood there alone.He went forward and to
Love in the dark Chapter 96
Laurence wasn’t surprised. Although Zoey was very beautiful, she was way too introverted. She was an obedient and good girl through and through. Even if she grew feelings for another person, she would simply keep it hidden in her heart and hold onto that secret herself. “Well, that’s too bad,” he said offhandedly.Zoey’s grip on the note tightened. That piece of yellowed paper was filled with the thoughts of a lovestruck teenage girl. She was ever grateful that she hadn't dared to write his name on it. Instead, she had written his initials, L.S. And even that was hidden in a corner at the bottom of the page.Zoey lowered her head and said morosely, “Nothing to feel sorry over.”Laurence looked at her pursed lips and downcast eyes. She seemed really upset. It wasn’t hard for him to figure out that she must have really liked the boy. After all, it had been so many years ago, but she still seemed affected. Although Laurence didn’t love Zoey, he still didn’t like to hear her talk about
Love in the dark Chapter 97
At that moment, Zoey didn’t know what to say.The boy left right after he finished his speech.Zoey was sure that Laurence had forgotten this incident. He would never know that it was her that he had warned once upon a time.Zoey took a deep breath. “I don’t want to talk about this.”“Then we won’t,” Laurence conceded.Zoey reigned in her emotions before she asked, “Do you want to go out? There’s really nothing much to see here.”Laurence had no objections to that. “Sure.”Stork Street was a famous historical street in Southgrove. Almost everyone who lived here was born and bred in Southgrove.The white walls and greyish paths looked like they came right out of a painting.Classes had just ended, so there were a lot of school kids on the street.Laurence took her hand in his. “Did you grow up here?”Zoey thought for a moment. “Pretty much.”“It’s a good place,” Laurence said. “Why did you move to Northwell?”Zoey stared at the sky. “My father brought us there,” she answered softly. “My
