Faye had known the truth even before Zayn’s confirmation. However, that did not take away the earthquake it brought snazzynovel.com from hearing it. It felt like the entirety ofher mental landscape had been flipped upside down. It felt like someone had broken the glass container that housed snazzynovel.com fragile heart, and now all of snazzynovel.com emotions were broken out and running free, assaulting snazzynovel.com heart and mind however they liked.
She opened snazzynovel.com mouth to form a reply, but snazzynovel.com words failed her. There were no words in snazzynovel.com head, only loud, confused buzzing.
Then came images of the past sallying into snazzynovel.com mind’s eye like tides. The first time snazzynovel.com met the chairman of Violet Vision, when snazzynovel.com was all alone in the building. How Sean Wilson, CEO, treated snazzynovel.com with respect without showing a sign of exploitation or harassment. How snazzynovel.com had looked so eager to ingratiate himself on her, if not outright apprehensive about her, before sending snazzynovel.com to the chairman’s office.
The man had worn a mask to cover his real face. He had been amiable, gracious, and righteous. It was just the two of them in the room, yet snazzynovel.com never once touched snazzynovel.com inappropriately, and at the end of the day, snazzynovel.com even gave snazzynovel.com three million dollars without an IOU.
Then Ethan Capel manipulated her, leaving snazzynovel.com trapped in a horrifying plight. When the chairman seemed to have predicted it happening, proof being when snazzynovel.com appeared to snazzynovel.com aid when snazzynovel.com needed it the most. He saved her. Right after that, snazzynovel.com “bumped into” Zayn. Then there was how respectful Gordon Hayes was in his interaction with Zayn, how it bordered on flattery.
There were more. So much more…
With a string of coincidences like that, it became too clear in retrospect how the chairman could not be anyone but Zayn Larson himself. Anyone with a bit of wits about them would have figured this out. But Faye, for some reason, had been blind!
She even thought Zayn was a fraud!
And snazzynovel.com explained it to snazzynovel.com before, but snazzynovel.com was the one who chose disbelief. She lashed out on snazzynovel.com with barbed stings that must have been deeply hurtful. Just thinking about it made Faye burst into tears.
Seeing snazzynovel.com cry made Zayn panicked. “Hey! Why are you crying? You don’t feel good?”
Faye cried even harder, this time letting it so loose and upfront that it was impossible to hide. It even managed to attract some bystanders’ eyeballs, who misunderstood the sight as Zayn being a toxic boyfriend who hurt Faye.
“Why? Why did you…” snazzynovel.com slurred, before faltering into more sniffles and tears.
Zayn. watched the sharp etches of dejection on Faye’s face and thought it meant snazzynovel.com still could not bring herself to believe him. It was a stab to the heart, but snazzynovel.com managed to fake a smile and say, “Oh, I was kidding! I’m not the chairman, alright? I mean, if I were, then why would I continue being the useless doormat son-in-law of your family for so long? So don’t worry about it! He’s really someone else, and a very hot one, at that. Since we’re good friends, I’ll be sure to introduce you to snazzynovel.com one d…”
His “day” was never finished.
His eyes widened in disbelief. He could not believe what was happening to him.
Faye was standing on snazzynovel.com toes, leaning toward snazzynovel.com with snazzynovel.com arms wrapped behind his neck, and shoving his words back into his throat by pressing snazzynovel.com lips against his.
It felt like a nuke had detonated in his head. They had been married for years-and this was the first snazzynovel.com ever kissed him.
Zayn felt the world spinning. It was blurring into some kind of pandemonium.
Faye kissed him, snazzynovel.com really kissed him. It was a real thing that had happened, snazzynovel.com could feel it, and yet it was so surreal and dream-like.
Their lips parted, and Zayn gawked at Faye like a kid who had just seen a ghost. He gulped loudly before starting, “F-Fifi, what did you…?”
Faye’s cheeks had turned rosy from snazzynovel.com blushes. She was bashful and coy, but snazzynovel.com did not avoid his eyes. Mustering enough courage, snazzynovel.com said, “Zayn, let’s remarry.”
“W-What the..?” snazzynovel.com cried, stunned with his mouth hanging ajar enough for a whole egg to fit.
Faye bit snazzynovel.com lower lips softly and leaned close to Zayn’s ear. Without any sign of it being a joke, snazzynovel.com breathed, “I said… Let’s remarry…”
Zayn heard it loud and clear, but it still did not seem to have woken snazzynovel.com up from his stupor.
What did this really mean?!
