Zach replied to Summer solemnly as well. Maybe it was because he had rarely heard Summer talk to him so seriously.Summer cut to the chase and said, "I want to tell you that Felicia's back. She's on her way to your home."Zach gaped at the news, unable to react immediately. He had been kept in the dark about Felicia's return. No one had told him, so he knew nothing about it. The news from Summer hit him like a thunderbolt.Felicia, the woman who had hurt Zach the most, was back. Those past memories had tortured him like numerous daggers in his heart. He was finally moving on, but now she was back."No way." Zach shook his head and replied weakly. Panic could be heard in his voice. "She couldn't have come back. She disappeared for three years. How would she come back?"Summer knew some information about Felicia's sudden return. She honestly revealed Felicia's purpose for coming back. The latter's main goal was to have Zach wrapped around her finger, so Summer hoped he wouldn't
James saw through Summer and comforted her. "There's one thing you didn't realize. You've changed Felicia, although you don't know it.""I changed Felicia? What did I change about her?""You've shaken her confidence. She's starting to doubt if she can get Zach to go back to her. At the same time, she's starting to feel guilty about it.""How is that possible?" Summer had talked to Felicia for so long, and she hadn't felt an ounce of guilt coming from Felicia. Felicia was dead set on approaching Zach for money. How would she feel guilty?James said, "It is. You just didn't realize it."Indeed, Summer didn't realize it. After all, it was a really small detail. Shrewd women like Felicia wouldn't reveal their true thoughts in front of people. Only people like James, who was good at hiding their innermost thoughts, could see through them.He had asked Felicia one thing when he had taken her to the Myers residence this afternoon."Felicia, will you feel happy hurting Zach?"Felicia
Zach met Felicia at the Myerses' residence study. He told Yolanda that Felicia would come.Yolanda was nervous when she heard him, but Zach comforted her. He said he wanted to settle things on his own and asked Yolanda to give him time.Seeing Felicia, Zach asked coldly, "Ms. Yard, what brings you here?"Instead of using her name affectionately as he once did, he now called her Ms. Yard. He was keeping her at a distance. Felicia faltered a little, but she remained calm with a gentle smile on her pretty face."Zach, it's been about three years since we last saw each other. Won't you give me a smile? Aren't you happy seeing me again?""Should I feel happy? You left me for three years.""I didn't." Felicia saw Zach's accusation coming, and she was prepared to explain. "Your family was too hard on me, and you were busy with work back then. That's why I decided to leave. I didn't mean it—I didn't want to leave you.""Really? Then why did you date someone else afterward?" Zach conti
"Felicia, stop. Whatever happened between us is all in the past now," Zach said in a deep voice."Aren't those our memories? Are you going to pretend they never existed? We loved each other. Everything we've gone through was real. Zach, you can't deny it!"Felicia leaped into Zach's embrace, wrapping her arms around him. She wouldn't let go even though he was struggling to break free.Past memories crept into Zach's head. Felicia's embrace reminded him of their moments together, moments he had often dreamed of."Stop! you can't do this!" Zach shoved her away. Felicia stumbled and fell to the ground.She became teary as she sat painfully and pitifully on the ground. Zach felt sorry and slowly went over to help her up. However, she wrapped her arms around Zach's neck the moment he held her."Zach, can't we get back together? Let's pretend nothing ever happened between us. We can still be as happy together as we were back then.""There's no going back between us," Zach said quietly
Felicia's arrogant tone changed into a pleading one. She exhausted all her tricks, but Zach didn't seem to want her back, not even a little bit.Zach had his resolve early on. Since he decided to date Yolanda, he would stick with her. He would never choose Felicia, who was merely pretending to be the victim.He shook his head and asked, "Felicia, you really haven't changed even until now. You want to use me, don't you? I know everything. You came back for my money.""No, that's not true…" Felicia cried aggrievedly, even shedding tears. In fact, she was putting on an excellent act. Otherwise, how would Zach believe her?Unfortunately for her, Zach was a changed man. He saw through her and her bunch of lies."Move on, Felicia. Let's end this on a good note. At least we can still be friends," Zach said as he removed her hands from his face.Felicia wasn't letting go. As Zach tried to pull her hands away, she reached out and trapped him in her arms. She hugged him like a koala, deter
If Felicia couldn't have him, nobody else could have him, either. This was her personality. Even if she didn't want something, she wouldn't hand it over to someone else.Zach didn't expect her to go off the deep end. He said sadly, "Felicia, you don't have to do this.""Die! Let's just die altogether!" With each passing moment, the knife drew nearer to his heart, poised to strike.Zach was an heir to one of the four prestigious families. He had been training in martial arts to defend himself since he was young. Obviously, a weak woman like Felicia wouldn't be able to kill him. He quickly dodged when she was about to stab him.Felicia whipped her head. With a sinister glare, she raised the knife again. However, Zach snatched the knife from her immediately."Felicia, just give up," Zach persuaded as he threw the knife to the floor.Felicia wasn't giving up. She couldn't take it. She truly couldn't accept it.She never thought that she'd fail in getting what she wanted. She thought
"Zach, I want you… I want nothing but you. It's clear in my head now. I don't need money. I just need you to come back to me," Felicia said between sobs.She was telling the truth. She only started regretting it when she realized that Zach truly didn't like her anymore.Unfortunately, she was too late. Zach couldn't know if she was being honest or lying again. Even if she told the truth, they were past the point of return."Felicia, go home." Zach didn't want to deal with her anymore. He knew things would get complicated if he stayed.People were hypocrites sometimes, only realizing what they had after losing it. Felicia had thrown their relationship away when Zach was hers.She thought Zach would belong to her forever. Little did she know that his feelings had vanished without a trace.Felicia didn't want Zach to leave. She bolted up and ran toward Zach, but Zach had bodyguards keeping watch at the staircase. The bodyguards stopped Felicia."Ms. Yard, Mr. Myers asked you to lea
In fact, Zach wanted to tell Yolanda everything the moment she entered the room. They were a couple now, so they should talk things out and be honest with each other.Yolanda felt glad when he eventually told her, but she also felt bad for Felicia."Zach, are you sure you should treat her like that? You two were in a relationship for so long, after all.""I don't know either." Zach was at a loss. He seriously had no idea what he should do. If he knew, he wouldn't have turned Felicia down like that.Lacking insight into Felicia's true motives, he concluded that cutting ties was the best solution to avoid escalating the situation. This led him to reject her and dispatch bodyguards to remove her. Upon contemplating the events afterward, he felt no remorse."Felicia is stubborn, particularly in the matters of the heart. If I had let the conversation drag on, we would have remained stuck in this chaotic situation indefinitely."Yolanda shared Zach's sentiments, fully aware of Felicia'
