Chapter 25 You Have Gone Too Far

Essie didn't quite understand what he meant. She shrugged. "I remember. I can still introduce a
girlfriend for you."

Zac gritted his teeth. If only she could feel how worked up he was in trying to drill what he wanted to
say in her mind. He lifted her chin with one of his hands, deciding to cut to the chase. "During our
marriage, I suggest you don't see any other man. He could be your first boyfriend. Hell, he could be
your dream lover, but you better get them out of your mind and never speak to them again."

His words were harsh, slicing through the tension between them. What he really wanted was to wipe
her mind off Hanson. He moved closer. Even if she was his fake wife, as long as the license was still
registered, then he wouldn't let her see another man. He lowered his lips against hers.

She stiffened under his touch. Essie didn't even know what he meant. It wasn't as if she was having an
affair...all he caught her doing was that the men were trying to rape her, but she knew for a fact that he
didn't mean that ordeal. That meant...

Hanson's confession came to mind.

No. It was impossible that he would know such a private affair.

While she was stuck in her thoughts, a burst of pain exploded from her lower lip.

He had bitten her!

'Is he a dog?'

Essie shoved him away with all her strength as she gritted her teeth. "Listen here, I'm neither your pet
nor your slave. Do you think I'll listen to that excessive request?" He knocked her over the sofa. His
fingers traced against her face before stopping at the edge of her lips. His eyes glittered. "If you can't
do it, then maybe I should teach you every night how to be a good wife," he whispered.



She gritted her teeth.

This was already too much!

"We're getting a divorce in five weeks," she reminded him coldly.

His eyes darkened. In fact, they looked like a bottomless abyss–one that Essie didn't want to fall into.

Divorce wasn't easy. In fact, there were plenty of talks before it would even take place.

Moreover, even the thought of setting her free was making him uncomfortable. Zac didn't like the fact
that he was letting her go.

"I'm hungry. Go make me some food." He finally released his hold on her and sat up.

The topic had changed so fast that she couldn't even decipher what had happened. "Didn't you just
come back from dinner? How could you be hungry?"

"Just hurry up." After finding out that he was being cheated, he had turned around and left. In fact, he
didn't even drink a sip of water or eat a piece of bread. He had endured the hunger with rage in his
heart.

Essie didn't know this. She had thought that he maintained his hunger because of his date. 'He's only
hungry to keep his own dignity, ' she snorted.

"My legs hurt, so I won't be able to walk. Cook it yourself."

"Let me help you." Without even giving her a chance to deny him, he picked her up and placed her in
the kitchen. He took out a pack of noodles and a tray of eggs from fridge. "You can do it now."

It seemed that she had no other choice but to agree.



'For the sake of him saving my life, cooking noodles wouldn't be so bad, ' she thought with a sigh.

On the other side of Yang City.

Sunny lay on the tiled floor near her toilet bowl, screaming in frustration.

She had been sitting in her BMW as she waited for the news. However, what she didn't expect was
photos of Billy and his gang being tortured rather than a picture of Essie being molested.

Two masked men dragged her out of the car before she could recover from the shock. Not only did
they break her arms, but they had also force fed her ten cockroaches. Even the sight of them crawling
all over her tongue made her vomit into the basin.

She was scared for her life. She was a controlling tyrant in Yang City, and she didn't expect that one
day, she would be taught a lesson.

But Sunny didn't even dare say a word or else her naked pictures would be all over the internet.

Three days later, Essie got news from Mandy that her rival had been sent to the hospital. The
advantage of working in a TV station was that they got first-hand gossip for everything. Of course, the
news wasn't as complete as it was, since Sunny could only admit that she fell and broke her arms.

Thank goodness!

Essie fixed her eyes on her friend's luggage.

However, Mandy didn't just come here to tell her the good news.
