The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning By Max Charming chapter 279
After waiting for a whole hour, Rosario finally got her meal when Zach brought it to her. When Zach returned to his room, he saw Madelyn trembling on the bed. Her school uniform was all crumpled and messy. He realized he had been too rough her shirt was missing a few buttons, and the faint red marks below her neck were a lingering reminder of his actions.
Tears streaked her face, making her appear pitiful. Upon seeing him, Madelyn hurled a pillow at him. “Zach Jardin, you monster!” Zach caught the pillow with a smirk. “But you didn’t mind that, did you?”
“Just how many times I have to repeat myself. Listen, Zach Jardin, I DON’T LIKE YOU ANYMORE!” Madelyn cried out in a hoarse voice.
“That isn’t your decision to make. Don’t think that just because you’re at the Arnold residence, I can’t do anything to you!”
Zach walked up to her, reaching to brush aside a few strands of hair stuck together by her tears. “Do you really think you can stay at the Arnold residence forever? Don’t forget…. you’re a Jent!”
Madelyn slapped his hand away. “You will go to hell for this!”
An intimidating glint flashed in Zach’s eyes. Madelyn’s unyielding gaze further unsettled him. He sensed Madelyn was hinting at something. He asked himself, ‘Could she have found something out?”
However, he brushed aside the notion, thinking, ‘If she truly knew, she would have distanced herself from me even more. Some secrets should remain buried forever. She’s Hayson’s daughter, and I’m not his real brother. And that’s how it should be.
He then reached a decision in his mind, ‘If I can’t bring myself to harm her, I might as well keep her by my side, making her forever reliant on me.’
Zach said, “If I end up in hell, I’ll make sure to bring you along. Aren’t you the type who’d do anything for love, even take your own life? So, when the time comes, you’ll be ready to give up everything, won’t you?”
He added. “Be a good girl, and maybe I might… start having feelings for you as well.”
Those words were like a spell, trying to tempt Madelyn in her ear. But she stood firm, declaring, “I don’t want your feelings, you’re a monster!”
She fought to sit up, determined to leave. Before her feet even touched the ground, Zach grabbed her collar and pulled her back into his embrace.
“Zach, let go of me! Don’t touch me!”
He whispered in her ear, “Go ahead, shout! Scream as loudly as you can, let Rosario hear…”
He held her chin, forcing her to look up at the camera on the ceiling. It was aimed directly at the bed. “Don’t forget this is my room and what we just did. You wouldn’t want anyone to know that you have seduced your own brother!”
Madelyn shook her head, a shiver running through her heart. “No… That’s not true! You’re the one who dragged me here. You’re the one who did those horrible things to me without my consent, and now you are trying to threaten me?”
“Who will believe you? Everyone in the jent family knows… how far you’ve gone just to force me to become your boyfriend.”
Zach inhaled her scent, his face nestled against her neck as he pressed a kiss. Madelyn seethed with hatred. “You monster!”
“Madelyn, can’t you just be a good girl and stay at home?”
“You’re the one who forced me away! You tried to kill me!”
“So, this time I’m giving you a chance… When Father returns, move back home. Otherwise, you know the consequences!”
Madelyn’s feeble struggle ceased, and she no longer dared to let out screams. Instead, silent tears traced paths down her cheeks once more.
“I know that you despise me. But why did you do this to me? Zach Jardin, I hate you! I’ll hate you forever!”
“Hate me? Will it change anything?”
Madelyn’s animosity toward Zach didn’t seem to bother him. He let go of her and rose to his feet.
