But Madelyn was not...
"Isn't she your kept mistress?" Madelyn could feel her heart getting torn apart when she saw those words. Zach looked at her, and Madelyn continued while staring back at him, "You can't just do whatever you want and treat me like your toy just because I've had my uterus removed.
"I'm a human too. | can feel pain.
"Would you be happy if one day | can't bear your torment anymore, and choose to end my life?" Zach replied confidently. "You wouldn't do that!" "l will," she said.

"If you dare to touch me again today, tomorrow... all you see will be an incomplete corpse.
"I'm sure that jumping from the eighty-eighth floor wouldn't hurt at all.” Madelyn's depression had never been cured. The freedom she yearned for had become her reason to live in the past few years.
If one day her freedom was taken away from her and she had to become his prisoner again, just like in her past life, then her life would be meaningless, and she would simply be living in agony.
Her words worked, causing Zach to slam the door and leave.
The tension she had been feeling inside had finally dissipated. Madelyn knew that Zach might give in for now if she used her life to threaten her. However, she also knew that it would eventually stop working and Zach would force her to compromise and become his pawn.
Cecilia heard the noise of the door slamming, and silence followed. She then looked at the figure lighting up a cigarette while walking toward the balcony. She adjusted her robe and approached him. Then, she silently embraced his waist from behind, pressing her face against his back. "Stop being with her. I'll get jealous.
"Zach, you belong to me, and me alone." "I can give you everything you want, including... a child..." A hint of coldness flashed across Zach's eyes.
‘The only thing that he ever wants is a child, right? ‘Madelyn is incapable of giving birth anymore." Cecilia thought to herself.
Zach turned around and looked at her with his dark eyes. "How do you know that what | want is a child?" Cecilia smiled faintly. "That's because... you need an heir! "After the Jardin Corporation gets on track, and we grow older, we'll eventually need someone to take over the company. You wouldn't want your possessions to end up in some stranger's hands, would you?" She cupped his face with both hands as a cunning look appeared in her eyes. Then, she added, "Zach, Madelyn is your blood sister. If news of this gets out, it'll ruin you.

Me and you..." With that, Cecilia undid the only piece of clothing on her body, revealing her snow-white figure.
As she leaned closer to Zach, she removed his robe with just one hand before slipping inside to caress his chest...
Out of habit, Madelyn locked the door from inside and slept on the bed after taking her sleeping pill.
She slept all the way until the following day, at one in the afternoon.
She was just exhausted.
Before she woke up, she could hear someone knocking on the door several times, all of which she pretended not to hear. She opened her eyes, half awake, but quickly drifted back to sleep after that.
Until she heard the sound of a machine cutting something up from outside the room.
Madelyn watched the saw cutting through the inner lock chain, and the door was kicked open in the next moment. A figure dressed in a suit then came inside with an overwhelming presence.
