Zacharias' Second Chance Chapter 30 Everything Felt Like an Act
"When will you stop hiding?" Christopher asked with raised eyebrows. He was now seated at the desk. Yvonne was hiding in the corner. When she could hear no one else outside the door, she cautiously crawled out from behind the curtains. After spreading some burn salve over her hand, she moved to put the salve back in the kit. "T-Thank you." She kept her head low as she uneasily pulled out a few ten-dollar bills from her pocket. This was all she had earned through scavenging for recyclables. "About the cake from that day... Thank you. Brady loved it."She smiled. Her smile seemed somewhat forced. While he was not a good man, she thought he was a much better man than those evil people. He looked at the bills in her hand and uttered in a deep voice, "Keep them. I'll get them from you when I'm short on cash."She awkwardly clenched her fingers around the bills before hurriedly tucking them back into her pocket. It was just a joke, yet it was enough to make her eyes go red.
Zacharias' Second Chance Chapter 1 Nightmare Begins
Yvonne Starr stood before the prison of Seaton, shivering as the winds blew against her."Don't ever come back to crime. Lead a better life."Yvonne bowed at the prison guard. It had been five years since she was sent here. She was only 21 when she was sentenced to prison.A black Maybach stopped by the road. The man inside said coldly, "Get in the car." He was Yvonne's brother, or at least she thought he was, until one day they found out they weren't related by blood.Yvonne hung her head low. Nervously, she said, "Brother…""I am not your brother. Don't call me that." Chester Starr's face fell, and he checked the time. "You stole 21 years of my sister's life. You subjected her to humiliation in that family. Do not call me your brother."Yvonne tried to say something, but nothing came out. The story went like this: the only daughter of the Starr Family, Yvonne, was the child of the nanny. The real lady of the family, however, was switched at birth.A long while later, Yvonne sa
Zacharias' Second Chance Chapter 2 Cruel Family
Yvonne felt everything go dark, and someone stuffed her into the car. She curled up in the corner, shivering in despair. She could not go through with the kidney donation. It would kill her, and she could not die just yet."How has prison treated you, Yvonne?" Zacharias stared at the scared Yvonne. She no longer had the pride she used to possess, and he felt mixed emotions over it.Yvonne shrank. She held her head in fear, perhaps a conditioned reflex caused by being bullied in prison.Zacharias looked at her in disgust, and he grabbed her chin. "What? Cat got your tongue?"Blood trickled down Yvonne's forehead, in contrast to her face that was as white as a sheet. "Good…" Yvonne said tremulously. Aside from despair, there was also hatred in her eyes. Thanks to the bastard, she lived a hellish life in prison.On the day of her release, her tormentor couldn't take it anymore, so she told Yvonne the truth. Zacharias' men had paid her to torture Yvonne during her stay.Zacharias loo
Zacharias' Second Chance Chapter 3 Determination
The mention of that bastard child filled Zacharias with contempt. He wanted Yvonne dead more than ever. Back then, Yvonne and another man spent a night in a hotel, humiliating him and his family.She even got pregnant from the affair and gave birth to the child before she was imprisoned.Yvonne looked at Zacharias in despair. He became so strange that she felt he was not the man she knew. "The child is innocent.""Is it? Lara was innocent when your mother switched you two out and made her live a life of a peasant!" Melissa screeched, and she slapped Yvonne again. If it weren't for George, she wouldn't stop until she had had her fill.Yvonne hung her head low again, her ears ringing, and her cheeks were swollen. She let Melissa do as she pleased. After all, the family did raise her for two decades and more. She should repay them.She took a deep breath and looked at Zacharias, her eyes red. Weakly, but also with resolve, she said, "I'll do it…" She would do anything as long as her
Zacharias' Second Chance Chapter 4 Striking a Deal
The water didn't wake Yvonne up. Instead, it plunged her into a fever. A doctor was patrolling the wards, and he noticed the state Yvonne was in."What is happening here?" He checked on Yvonne. "We need to save her! Take her to the ER!"Zacharias stood petrified, his fingers numb. He couldn't control himself and grabbed Chester's collar with agitation. "You said she was acting!"Chester was panicking as well, but he smacked Zacharias' hand away. "How am I supposed to know that this would happen? She's always been a liar. She's the girl who cries wolf.""She won't die." Melissa stood up, radiating the air of an aristocrat. "Doctor, she's the one who's going to donate her kidney to Lara. Make sure her kidney's usable."The doctor frowned. "We should save her first.""Dr. Grounds, your father is good friends with my husband. You should know what I'm trying to say," Melissa said. She wanted the doctor to stop pursuing this matter and go on with the transplant.Yvonne had agreed, aft
Zacharias' Second Chance Chapter 5 Yvonne Has Escaped
Yvonne's escape enraged Zacharias and the Starrs. Lara had awoken as well, and she was sobbing. "I knew she wouldn't give me back the kidney willingly."She was subtly telling everyone that this was what Yvonne owed her. After she came back to the Starrs, she kept the name of Lara Summers. She claimed that even though the Summerses weren't kind to her, they did raise her.It was a clear contrast against Yvonne. Lara was made to be a kind princess, while Yvonne was the evil and despicable fake.Lara was smart. Keeping that name would make sure that the Starrs felt guilty all the time and compensated her for the lost years without a bottom line.Chester frowned. "Don't cry, Lara. She owes you this much, and she can't escape.""Chester." Lara hugged him, crying. "I'm scared. Yvonne is out now. Will Zacharias dump me?""What are you thinking? Yvonne embarrassed his family five years ago. She humiliated him, and you think he'd take her back?" Chester patted Lara's head."But if Yvo
Zacharias' Second Chance Chapter 6 Zacharias and Child Abuse
"Why are you here? The five years Von endured in prison is enough to atone for her sins. What else do you want?" Caleb defended Yvonne, glaring at Zacharias furiously."Atone for her sins?" Zacharias sneered. "And what about the debt she owes me? Should I kill the bastard for that?"Yvonne stared at Zacharias in horror. She knew he wasn't kidding. Scared, she went down on her knees and pleaded, "I'll do what I promised, Zacharias. Please, just let me go. Give me a few days, please."All she wanted was a few days with her son. She wondered, 'Is that too much to ask?'Heartbroken, Caleb looked at Yvonne. "Get up, Von. He won't do anything to us." Yvonne didn't used to be like this. She used to be pampered, but now…"Won't do anything to you?" Zacharias laughed. "Caleb, you know nothing about society." He raised his hand, and his bodyguards charged ahead, punching Caleb.Caleb was buff and he worked on construction sites all the time, so of course he could fight, but he was outnumbe
Zacharias' Second Chance Chapter 7 Brady Calls Christopher Daddy
Zacharias was scared of Christopher. Everyone in the family and the city were terrified of him. Zacharias whispered, "Take them to the backyard." He wanted the nanny to take Yvonne to the servants' quarters in case Christopher got mad.Christopher was a clean freak. Ever since he came of age, he had moved out and rarely came back. Today was an exception."You little bastard." The nanny gritted her teeth. Since Christopher wasn't at the balcony anymore, she kicked Yvonne down to the ground.Panicked, Yvonne held her son tightly. She choked up, saying, "We're not staying here. We want to go home." With that, she tried to leave with her son in her arms.'Brady's just a child. I can't believe Zacharias asked his servant to abuse him,' she thought.Zacharias grabbed Yvonne's hair and yanked her back. "You'd better know your place, Yvonne."Brady was tough. Even when the nanny kicked him down, he didn't cry, but he did when Zacharias started abusing his mother. "Let my mommy go!""Zac
