After Lucius gave his orders, two burly bodyguards who seemed to be adept in martial arts walked over to grab Zayn.While they were focused on doing so, they completely disregarded Zayn and underestimated their opponent, even snickering at his misfortune. However, the moment they walked over, Zayn threw a hefty kick at the both of them, and he immediately sent them flying unscathed.Obviously, Zayn had used a lot of force. This was evident because the two likely weighed about 100 kg each, and they were still sent flying like two rubber balls with a single clean kick. The others suspected that they were hallucinating.At that moment, silence filled the room momentarily before Lucius was able to regain his senses. He bemusedly commented, “I was wondering why you were so brave. I see now that it’s because you’ve trained in martial arts before.”Lucius was now even more confident that he would be able to defeat Zayn. ‘Zayn’s just a mere amateur in martial arts, yet he thinks he’ll be a
When Lucius fell to the ground, his screams were so intense that a majority of the people present felt a chill run down their spines. In fact, some even felt their knees go weak as well.Lucius’ shrilling screams even gave them goosebumps as their eyes were filled with fear when they looked at Zayn. Now, none of them dared to have that scornful and insulting expression on their faces.Despite how aggressively these people had treated Faye a moment ago, they were actually just ordinary people who had been pampered all their lives, hence they were easily frightened by someone more demeaning than they were and would immediately become cowards in such a situation. In fact, to them, Zayn was not as simple as a demeaning person but was the equivalent of a fierce demon who was able to wreak havoc whenever he swung a punch that not even a dozen bodyguards were able to withstand. Furthermore, Lucius, who was usually the cool one within their circle, was now like a mere rookie in the face of Z
When the others watched the scene unfold, they became even more terrified of Zayn as they could not stop faltering. They were scared of breathing too loudly out of fear that Zayn would go after them. Especially those that had bullied Faye a moment ago were now trembling as both their knees could not stop buckling. Despite behaving arrogantly and all high and mighty a moment ago, they were all just mere ordinary people who would be afraid when they faced someone stronger than them.On the other hand, Lucius felt excruciating pain and was now truly fearful of Zayn. Despite being so arrogant and seemingly mighty most of the time, his strength was only built as such because of his background. Without the help of his family’s connections, he would just be another ordinary rich man’s son, thus he did not even have the right to go up against a ferocious person like Zayn!Lucius had been raised with a golden spoon in his mouth and was pampered all his life, whereby his family would resolve a
“Do you think Lucius will file a police report in the future? After all, you beat him up really badly,” asked Faye worriedly on their way home.Zayn then said, “He won’t. He doesn’t have the guts to do it.”“But his father’s one of the owners of Eilam Reality, so they’ve got a pretty influential background. Are you sure he won’t go to the police?” Faye was still very worried. ‘We're living in a society governed by law, plus there were so many witnesses around—he even broke Lucius’ finger! That was awful.’Zayn understood Faye’s concerns, hence he held her hand and said with a smile, “Don’t worry. He’s not going to call the police. In fact, even if he does, I’ve got nothing to be afraid of.”When she saw how confident he was, the concern she had in her heart waned.Upon their arrival at the huge villa in Barrow Cove, both Ruby and Waine were already sleeping.Although Faye and her family had already moved into the villa, she and Zayn had not yet remarried. Therefore, strictly spea
Furthermore, it was obvious that the footsteps belonged to Faye.Instantly, Zayn’s heartbeat accelerated. ‘It’s the middle of the night now. Why would Faye be outside my room?’When he heard the sound of her footsteps stopping right outside his doorstep, his heartbeat accelerated even faster. However, after waiting for almost a minute, Faye still did not make any move, causing his heartbeat to return to normal as he thought to himself, ‘Faye probably just passed by coincidentally.‘That’s right. According to my understanding of Faye, she’s a very shy and reserved person, so it’s impossible for her to come to my room in the middle of the night. Plus, we’re currently divorced and she’s a deeply traditional-minded person, making it all the more impossible that she would barge into my room at this hour.’At that thought, Zayn slowly recovered from his nervousness. Then, he closed his eyes once again and was just about to continue sleeping.However, shortly after he closed his eyes, he
Although Zayn’s eyes were tightly shut, he could still feel Faye standing by his bedside. In fact, she had even bent at the waist to lean in closer towards him, causing her long silky hair to cascade down her back. The ends of her hair just so happened to brush against Zayn’s face gently, making him quite unsettled. This was even worse when her hair grazed his nose.However, what was most unsettled was his pained heart!Originally, Zayn was already feeling a little languid and was prepared to sleep. However, Faye’s arrival completely made his drowsiness disappear, and he was now wide awake.‘It’s late in the middle of the night, and there are only a man and a woman in the same room, but the most important thing is that regardless of her figure or her looks, Faye’s a goddess in her own class!’Although Zayn and Faye had been married for four years and should have been used to their married life by now, thanks to their unique relationship, they still remained pure until that moment a
Zayn was very moved when he heard Faye’s heartfelt words!Those were words that he had never heard from her before, so he had no idea she felt that way.Truthfully, when Zayn chose to marry into the Carters in the past, he had only done so to avoid being driven up the wall by the Carters, hence he pretended to be a deadbeat and endured all sorts of insults and hardships. However, during those four years, he had indeed been miserable because Faye had not once genuinely treated him as her husband. Even though he himself knew that it was not Faye’s problem and he only had himself to blame, deep in his heart, he still hoped that he would one day earn her recognition.Now, that day had finally arrived…Hence, it would be impossible for Zayn to not feel a little excited.On the other hand, Faye still did not realize that Zayn had not fallen asleep yet and that he had heard everything she said clearly. In fact, she actually thought that he was in a deep slumber, hence she held his hand a
Faye was under the impression that Zayn was asleep the whole time, hence she had the courage to say those words. However, Zayn ended up revealing that he was actually not asleep yet.‘So, Zayn’s heard everything that I said just now! The most embarrassing thing is that I even secretly kissed him just now. What a shameless act!’On the other hand, Zayn was also feeling troubled at that moment. ‘Why couldn’t I just stop myself from opening my eyes? Now, Faye’s realized it and we’re stuck in an awkward situation. Just great!’“Ahem!” Zayn coughed as he racked his brains to force himself to calm down. ‘I mustn’t show that I’m nervous now, not in this situation.’“Why are you in my room, Fifi? Is something the matter?” Zayn asked curiously as he rubbed his eyes, deliberately pretending as if he had been disturbed in his sleep.However, his acting skills were just so terrible that he was unable to fool Faye at all. On the contrary, she only felt even more embarrassed as her face turned
