The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 722
With a single command, Zach made Madelyn and Ethan get into the car. Zach had effortlessly through seen all her carefully laid plans. Now, sitting in the car, Madelyn felt defeated. Her voice tinged with desperation, she begged, “Zach, I’m begging you, please just leave Ethan out of this. It was my idea to run away, he’s innocent.”
Zach pulled Madelyn closer. He stared intensely as he caressed her face. Madelyn felt the weight of his gaze. It was as if she was seeing the moment he wished he could have cherished her in another lifetime.
“Say one more word for him, and I’ll kill him right now,” Zach growled. Terrified, Madelyn immediately clamped her mouth shut, her whole body trembling with fear.
Kevin sat in the driver’s seat, Bluetooth earpiece in place, and reported, “Sir, the servants and the baby have been found and returned to the Southern Haven Villas.”
Madelyn’s breath caught. ‘Is Zach not sparing even the baby?’
“Turn around, back to Southern Haven Villas,” Zach commanded.
“Yes, sir,” Kevin responded. Keeping her head low and hugging her knees, Madelyn sat in the corner of the car. What should have been a ninety- minute drive from the airport to Southern Haven Villas took only about forty minutes with the car racing down the road.
Upon arrival, Zach pulled Madelyn out of the car, held her hand tightly and walked in. When he let go, she lost her balance, crashing onto the floor. Ethan was dragged in, wheelchair and all, and tipped over onto the ground.
Zach planted a merciless boot on his chest. “So, Mr. Arnold, just woke up from your coma and already causing trouble? Since when you like taking what doesn’t belong to you?”
“No, please,” Madelyn crawled toward them, clutching Zach’s leg. “He’s still injured. You could kill him. If you have a problem, blame me. I was the one who wanted to leave.”
Fury storming in his eyes, Zach exerted more pressure on Ethan, “Why must you always do that, Madelyn?”
Blood oozed from Ethan’s mouth. Madelyn sobbed uncontrollably, “I won’t do it again, I swear. Please, let him go. I won’t do that anymore.”
Ethan was hanging by a thread, looking as if he had already slipped into unconsciousness. Satisfied, Zach finally lifted his boot. He lifted Madelyn up and pinched her cheeks, “I’m doing this because you never learn.”
Zach gestured to a bodyguard. “Bring me the baby.”
“Yes, sir,” the bodyguard acknowledged. The baby was crying hysterically as he was handed to Zach. He asked Madelyn mockingly, “Don’t you love our baby? If you don’t, we can have another.”
Madelyn was sure that Zach was out of his mind. She reached to hold the baby, but Zach held her off and commanded, “Take this baby away.”
“No! Give him back to me,” Madelyn begged, falling to her knees before him, tears streaming down her face. “I’ll keep him, I swear. Zach, I’m begging you,”
Her desperate plea hung heavy in the air, a snapshot of her utter helplessness.
