The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 634
Zach picked up the photo that had fallen out of Madelyn’s book. He looked at the photo and narrowed his eyes.
“Why’d you come to the hospital without asking me first?” he asked Cecilia in a cold tone. Zach stood up and looked at her.
His presence was intimidating, but Cecilia wasn’t scared. She smirked, ” Why? Scared I’d hurt her? I’m here for you, not her.”
“Don’t forget what you promised me! I’m going to be your wife. You’d be lost without me,” she added.
“Just stay out of my business,” Zach replied.
“Listen, Zach! If you go to her, I can take away my shares in the company. Don’t forget who helped you get where you are,” Cecilia shouted as he walked away. But Zach just kept going.
Cecilia felt stressed. ‘Things are so different now. Jadie’s still alive, Madelyn isn’t with Zach, and I hate making threats, but I had no choice. Zach was never someone who feared threats. In fact… He’d get rid of those who threatened him,’ she thought.
She began to doubt if this was the same Zach she loved before. He felt so different to her.
‘In our past life, Zach would never show any mercy toward Madelyn. Does he need a reminder of who’s really on his side? Jadie should be gone. And Yvonne shouldn’t be with him. They’re in my way,’ she thought.
Madelyn returned to her hospital room and packed her things into a bag. Meanwhile, Zach’s gaze followed her as she moved around. He spoke up, “She just wanted to talk about work.”
Madelyn answered, “What you two talk about isn’t my business. I’ve got to get back to the studio. I don’t have time for this.”
As she tried to leave, Zach stopped her, “Let me know when you’re done. I’ll come get you.”
“No need!”
Suddenly, Zach’s face became grim. Madelyn, I don’t want to force you, that’s only… If you listen to me.” but “You know what I can do, right?” he continued.
Madelyn looked up, a touch of fear in her eyes. “I really have to go. And I don’t know when I’ll be done, so you don’t need to wait.”
Zach’s eyes grew sharp. “Didn’t you hear me?”
Avoiding his gaze, Madelyn replied softly, “I’ll call when I’m finished.”
Zach gently touched her hair, smiling.” Good. I’ll drop you off.”
She felt trapped by his influence and was tired of fighting it. Zach helped her with the discharge process and drove her to the studio.
“This is it. Thank you,” Madelyn unbuckled the seatbelt. She tried to open the door, but it was locked. Then, Zach reached out and slid his fingers into her hair. He leaned over and kissed her on the lips.
She wanted to push him away but held back. After the kiss ended, Madelyn opened the door and fled in a hurry.
