”Anything else?” asked Zayn.Alexandra stroked her stomach. “I haven’t had lunch, so I’m a little hungry. Eat with me?”Zayn shook his head. “No, thanks. I’ve eaten.”Surprisingly, Alexandra caught his hand and acted cute like a kitten. “Please…Come on…Eat with me. It’s still early now. It won’t take up much of your time.”Zayn was embarrassed when she held his hand. He was a married man and should not be touching a woman unnecessarily now. Prying his hand away, he countered, “But why must I accompany you?”“Because I only have you as my friend in Waltz City,” Alexandra answered matter-of-factly.Zayn rolled his eyes mentally. To be honest, his meal just now had been in a hurry and he was indeed still hungry. Now that Alexandra insisted and refused to get down from the car, he could only agree to her and eat at the hotel.When he alighted from the vehicle, Zayn was sharp enough to sense that both tracking professionals were still around. From the looks of it, they were most prob
The sound of a man’s delighted voice from the other end of the phone call was heard. “Not yet, actually. I’m only going to be having an engagement banquet. You’re not doing too bad yourself, Nathan. Have you managed to get Faye within your grasp?”That was right. The person on the line was Nathan. He just so happened to be eating in that hotel as well, thus he ended up bumping into Zayn and Alexandra together.The first reaction he had was to call William and tell him the good news.Alexandra was also one of the three prettiest women in Waltz City. Although she was on par with Faye in terms of beauty, her reputation was nowhere as great as the latter’s, hence most ordinary people would not know who Alexandra was. However, within the social circle, Alexandra was very famous. Not only was she pretty, but she also had a solid background since she was the only daughter of the Smiths. In fact, she could even be said to be the woman most men desired to claim for themselves. In fact, Nat
“Who’s the other person?” William’s voice sounded extremely cold at that point.However, Nathan was not frightened by his voice in the slightest and was even laughing instead. ‘Wonderful, the more furious William is, the more danger Zayn will be in and the happier I feel.‘Although I’ve already looked for Mr. Hyde and know that it’s only a matter of time before Zayn’s life ends, how exciting will it be to be able to see Zayn being taught a proper lesson before his death?’“Zayn Larson,” said Nathan in a deep and meaningful manner.“Who?” William could not actually recognize that name.Instantly, Nathan continued and said, “Zayn Larson. He’s the man who married into the Carters. He’s also the man who offended you in your villa a while ago.”“Him?” William immediately recalled the man since his impression of Zayn was rather profound, and he immediately clenched his teeth. A rush of fury welled up within him. ‘I haven’t even touched Faye yet, but this *sshole is actually meddling wi
However, Zayn did not remain saddened for long and very soon returned to his smiling expression. He silently retracted his hand and said with a smile, “It’s not that bad actually. My life’s already happier than many others’. At least, I don’t have to fret about my daily necessities.”When Alexandra saw Zayn’s reaction, she felt even more empathy for him. Then, her maternal instinct kicked in as she had the sudden urge to give him a hug and console him properly.Actually, she was rather shocked as to why she would react as such. ‘I’ve only just met Zayn not too long ago. Why would I have such shameful thoughts? He’s a married man...’On the other hand, William had travelled with lightning speed to rush to the hotel the moment he hung up the phone. In fact, he even rushed through countless red lights.However, there was nothing that he could do since he was truly blinded by his own anger. All he could think in his mind at that moment was the scene of Alexandra being together with Zay
William’s face was dangerously dark as he paced across the room, even bumping into a waiter in the process.Soon, Zayn could feel his presence as he shot a look in William’s direction. Then, he teased Alexandra, “You’re fiance’s here.”“Ah?” Shocked, Alexandra immediately followed Zayn’s line of sight. Sure enough, she saw William angrily storming toward their direction and immediately frowned. “He’s not my fiance. I’ll never agree to marry him.”At that moment, William had already arrived within their vicinity. He was even more enraged when he saw that Zayn was actually still able to smile.However, Alexandra was still not his fiance at that moment and they had not even held their engagement banquet yet. Therefore, no matter how angry William was, he could not direct his anger at her. Instead, he could only force a wry smile as he said, “Alexandra, you’re here to dine as well. What a coincidence.”William had returned to his gentlemanly temperament, and no one would be able to re
“You’re crazy,” Alexandra then said, “I already knew long ago that Zayn’s married.”“What?” William was startled. “If you already knew, why are you…”When he said that, he suddenly stopped and realized that it was him who was being hasty. ‘I haven’t even made sure I know the entire situation and I’ve rushed here. What if Alexandra and Zayn really don’t have that kind of relationship and are just ordinary friends? If that’s true, then my actions will make me look completely petty.’However, William was lucky that he was quick-witted, so he immediately changed his tone and said with a smile, “Oh, is that so? That’s good then, that’s good.”Alexandra rolled her eyes and continued to say, “Anyway, Zayn’s already promised me that he will file for a divorce immediately, so I’ll wait for him.”Zayn immediately stopped drinking his tea and almost spat it out instead. ‘What the h*ll is Alexandra doing? How is she even able to say something like that out of the blue?’Furthermore, when Wil
Alexandra could tell that things were starting to go awry, so she intervened by shooting a glare at William. “Hey! I’m warning you, William—don’t try anything stupid with Zayn. I was the one who was looking for him, not the other way around, so it’s got nothing to do with him. If you’re p*ssed, then at least be pissed at the right person—me!”The corner of William’s lips twitched. How he wished he could just release all of his built-up wrath right then and there, but it was not worth the cost!Of course, there was also the fact that their wedding was in just a few days’ time—and it was a marriage blessed and approved by Victor, her father. It was not like Alexandra could call it off on her own. He just had to marry her and toy with her a little, before finally avenging himself.William took a deep breath to extinguish the flames within him before declaring solemnly, “Alexandra, I’ll prove that no matter how many men are out there waiting—I’ll always be your perfect match!”He turne
Zayn was cognizant of William’s people tailing him, but he simply could not care less. Be it William Brown or Nathan Sullivan, they were all small fries in an expansive ocean. The last thing Zayn wanted to do was to give lowlifes undue attention.He immediately engrossed himself in his new work as soon as he got back to Violet Vision. He had plans—and not just a floating, intangible concept—to establish an all-new advertising company. It was high time he started planning for it.The seven billion dollars his grandfather had bequeathed him was not just going to sit in the bank as fodders to interest rates; Zayn had more ambitious plans—and starting this late afternoon, he was going to draft its intricacies.When it was almost time to go home, he received a call from Adrian.The fact that he called made Zayn frown. Ever since he took over Violet Vision from Jordan, he had not contacted the Larsons since, nor did Jordan ever speak to him at all. Besides, Zayn hardly concerned himself
