NovelEnglishMadelyn attempted to pull her hand from Zach's grip, but he held firm. Turning to him, her eyes displayed a hint of emotion. Her brows knitted slightly, her voice barely more than a whisper, "What do you want?" "We have servants here. You don't need to take care of things." "Servants who are loyal to you. You probably have a better idea than | do about what happened to my father. After all that's happened, do you genuinely believe I'd trust you?" Her eyes held a challenge, but then she looked away, "No matter what happens with my father, I'll do what's expected of me. In the end, you'll have control of our family's wealth, and no one will stand in your way." Madelyn tried to pull away, but just as she stepped into Hayson's room, Zach swiftly drew her back to him.
All the things Madelyn held dropped to the floor. He carried her up the stairs.

"You seem to know so much, so why fight it?" he taunted.
When he set her down, she was backed against the wall, blocked by him. The intensity in his eyes was overwhelming, drawing ever closer until every detail of his face filled her vision.
He leaned in, his strong aura surrounding her. She felt like she was caught in a big, hot fire, burning from its intensity.
Just as she felt Zach was about to kiss her, Madelyn turned her head away. "Don't make me hate you. What would people in Ventropolis say about a brother forcing himself on his own sister? Don't forget, | am Ethan Arnold's fiancee!" Zach smirked, amusement dancing in his eyes. "Trying to intimidate me now?" Madelyn felt an uneasy pressure in the room. Being near Zach always put her on edge, making her voice quiver, "You've left me no choice." His fingers gently tilted her chin, a playful smile gracing his features, but the coldness behind it sent shivers down her spine.
"You've yet to figure me out." In a sudden twist of aggression, he held her face firmly, his gaze frigid and threatening. "I've never been one to weigh consequences when | truly want something." Without warning, he pressed his lips onto hers. She resisted, and summoning all her might, she stepped hard on his foot, managing to push him back.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing an opportunity, Madelyn reached for a crafting knife on the desk, pointing it in his direction, "One more step and | won't hesitate.” Amused, Zach approached her slowly, "Can you even handle that knife? If you injure yourself, I'd be rather upset.” To him, her threats felt empty, as if he was convinced she wouldn't dare act.
As Zach closed the distance between them, panic clouded Madelyn's eyes. In a sudden move, she pressed the craft knife to her own neck.
As expected, Zach halted his step with a frown.
Trapped and scared, Madelyn found courage in her voice, "...'m not like you, able to hurt people without caring. Listen, even if you have power over the Jent family, I've never been scared of you." She went on, "Even if today is my end, you better not lay a finger on me again. You and Jasmine are plotting together, aren't you? She's even having your baby. You're perfect for each other. | try to stay far away from you every day, hoping something takes you away from me. Just seeing you makes my skin crawl!"
