Chapter 27
Matthew’s kick was brutal, instantly sending Willow to her knees.
Matthew gently embraced Wilhelmina and said, “Willa, I’ll make her apologize to you! I promised you, I won’t let anyone bully you!
“Willa, when we get out of here, I won’t let anyone bully you again!”
As Willow watched Matthew leave, she remembered the countless times he had spoken to her in the dungeon, and tears blurred her vision.
She found the world quite ridiculous.
She had been forced to kneel twice, and the ones forcing her were the man she loved most and her closest friend.
The people she cared about the most always seemed to trample on her dignity.
Willow’s knees throbbed with pain, and her stomach started to ache.
She finally managed to lean against the nearby wall and stand up reluctantly after some time.
She wandered through the busy streets like a zombie and suddenly felt like the future looked bleak, with no light ahead.
Gathering a million dollars before her death was indeed an impossible task.
But even if she had to fight against the heavens, she would cure Aaron’s illness and let him live a long, healthy life.
After wandering like a ghost on the street for almost half an hour, Willow finally returned to Bordello.
She wanted to go back to Bordello to search for anything she could sell to help treat Aaron’s illness.
Bordello belonged to Zayn, so she couldn’t sell it. But there were some things inside that she had purchased, which she could exchange for some money at the second–hand market.
As soon as Willow opened the door, she saw Zayn sitting on the sofa in the living room, the light enveloping him, making it impossible to see any brightness o him, only the engulfing darkness and cruelty.
Zayn suddenly looked at Willow with suffocating rage and anger.
He then stood up and fiercely slammed a stack of photos in his hand onto her face.
“Willow, you really have some nerve!”
He roughly grabbed Willow’s neck and continued, “I was with you just yesterday, and you couldn’t wait to go out and find another man. Do you need a m
“Zayn, I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
Willow forcefully broke free from Zayn’s grip, feeling quite speechless. Almost every time she saw him, he had to grab her by the neck.
Perhaps due to being misunderstood too many times, Willow felt numb this time. Surprisingly, she didn’t feel as upset as before.
In fact, she even found it somewhat amusing to think that one day, she would turn into a giraffe from all the neck–grabbing.
“You don’t know?” Zayn’s smile was cold. “Are you tired of being played by Louis, and now trying to hook up with his older brother? Willow, you’re simply
“I didn’t!” Willow shook her head vigorously. “There’s nothing between Matthew and I. We’re not as messed up as you think!”
“Heh.” Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Zayn sneered, clearly not believing Willow’s words.
At this moment, Willow also saw the photos on the ground.
Those photos were taken when she met Matthew in the underground parking lot earlier that night.
There was no intimate contact between her and Matthew tonight, but because of the angles in the photos, it looked like she shamelessly threw herself a
