“It’s okay now, hush. I beat them up and chased them away. You’re safe now,” Zayn cooed gently, rubbing Faye’s cheeks. He tore the tape off the woman’s lips.
A cry, followed by a heartbreaking bawl sprung out of snazzynovel.com mouth as soon as the gag was removed, and the distressed woman threw herself onto Zayn. She was whimpering like a little girl. Zayn had snazzynovel.com in his arms as snazzynovel.com patted snazzynovel.com back gently, hushing snazzynovel.com with a litany of soothing assurance. This was the first time snazzynovel.com had ever seen Faye cry like this.
“I was so terrified… God, I was so terrified…” snazzynovel.com sobbed. As soon as snazzynovel.com ropes were undone, snazzynovel.com wrapped snazzynovel.com arms around Zayn and squeezed snazzynovel.com as tightly as snazzynovel.com could. Zayn felt like snazzynovel.com could not breathe.
Faye was scared that snazzynovel.com would disappear, so snazzynovel.com held onto snazzynovel.com for dear life, like a drowning woman clinging onto the last floating barrel out at the sea. She had never been so scared before, not even during that one time with Ethan, snazzynovel.com had never been so fearful.
Honestly, Faye had decided back then, if snazzynovel.com was truly defiled by William, snazzynovel.com would take snazzynovel.com own life. It brought upon another source of fear in her. She dreaded the possibility of being raped, and snazzynovel.com had to face snazzynovel.com own primordial fear of death. She would miss the world. There would be guilt towards snazzynovel.com parents and Zayn, as snazzynovel.com would have never actually made it up to him. Lastly, snazzynovel.com would grieve over the lost spark between snazzynovel.com and the chairman.
However, just when snazzynovel.com needed help the most, the chairman appeared and saved her.
An unprecedented seismic shock rocked the deepest recesses of snazzynovel.com heart. It reverberated through snazzynovel.com bones, and in its quake, snazzynovel.com made the biggest decision of snazzynovel.com life, one that snazzynovel.com would never turn back on, no matter how hard the world tried to convince snazzynovel.com otherwise.
Faye Carter decided to pursue a romance with the chairman of Violet Vision. She would become his woman, and if that meant the world would tum against her, so be it!
She had always been a very conservative woman. She followed rules. She obeyed what was expected of her. She yielded to the morals of society, so even when snazzynovel.com had no feelings for Zayn, snazzynovel.com had never once been unfaithful. However, everything would change starting now. These deluges of life-changing events had altered snazzynovel.com perspectives and shattered snazzynovel.com conventional mindset. They changed her!
She wanted to be with the chairman! She wanted to live with snazzynovel.com true love! Even if the world would condemn snazzynovel.com and jeer at her, snazzynovel.com would risk it all for him!
So what if the chairman was Zayn’s friend? So what if it would make snazzynovel.com a villainess in the eyes of society? What if snazzynovel.com was about to commit a crime of infidelity?
So what?!
Zayn was completely unaware of the unprecedented changes that had taken over Faye. He had been mollifying snazzynovel.com gently, soothing snazzynovel.com with his gruff voice, “It’s alright, all is well. You’re safe. Safe and sound.”
Faye lifted snazzynovel.com head and considered the chairman. When snazzynovel.com looked into his eyes-so deep and so mesmerizing, snazzynovel.com felt like snazzynovel.com was gazing at the stars.
“Thank you, sir. I can’t.. I can’t thank you enough.”
Zayn chuckled. “It’s nothing. Just something I could do.”
Faye understood what was left unspoken. He was doing it for Zayn’s sake again. It was something that would have greatly saddened snazzynovel.com in the past. However, in the light of snazzynovel.com new decision, snazzynovel.com was no longer crushed.
Seeing snazzynovel.com lowered head made Zayn think snazzynovel.com was in a dispritied state. A thought hit him, and snazzynovel.com became frenetic. “No… Has William Brown deflowered you already, Fifi?!”
Zayn could not stop himself from going there. If it had, indeed, already happened, the guilt would haunt snazzynovel.com for the rest of his life!
Just looking at the state Faye was in made snazzynovel.com assume the worst. She was completely bound, snazzynovel.com clothes were filthy, and it seemed possible that William had forced himself onto her. If snazzynovel.com did… If snazzynovel.com did! Zayn would pulverize his corpse into dust!
Hearing the chairman call snazzynovel.com Fifi made Faye’s body go limp. It was the first time the chairman had ever called snazzynovel.com that, and when snazzynovel.com really thought about it, did that not mean the man had already reserved some sort of special affection towards her?
“No, don’t worry about it. I’m untouched. William didn’t get his chance,” Faye explained quickly, worried that the chairman had misunderstood the situation.
Zayn released an audible sigh of relief. This meant that snazzynovel.com managed to save snazzynovel.com just in the nick of time.
She heard snazzynovel.com sigh. Her heart swelled like it was filled with warm honey. It meant that the chairman did care about her, and that snazzynovel.com did not do it simply out of Zayn’s request!
It was the most euphoric revelation. It completely banished all of the moroseness and sullenness that had plagued snazzynovel.com days ago. She knew it! Her instincts could not have possibly lied to her! What snazzynovel.com felt when snazzynovel.com had interacted with snazzynovel.com those past few times was spot on.
He had feelings for her! Or at least some form of affection. The only reason Zayn said what snazzynovel.com had said was because snazzynovel.com was lying.
Or maybe the chairman was the one who was lying. He had to be mendacious when Faye was still Zayn’s legal wife.
It was then when Faye said something that filled Zayn with apprehension, “Mr. Chairman, may I see your real face?”
