All too late for his love

"Even if I marry Skyler, Willow will always be my mistress," Zayn said.

"Mr. Carter, shut up!" Kenan swung an unceremonious punch which Zayn deftly dodged.

"Willow divorced you long ago! There's nothing between you now!"

"Nothing?" Zayn's voice was sinister. Willow kept telling herself not to care about Zayn, but he always hurt her deeply.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Both Matthew and Kenan were her closest friends. One a friend she once depended on for survival. The other, a confidant she considered family. She didn't want them to know about her dark, sordid past. But Zayn refused to respect her wishes.

Indeed, upon hearing Zayn's words, Kenan couldn't contain his shock. "Mr. Carter, what are you saying?"

Zayn's eyes bore into Willow's face with an intensity that made her uncomfortable.

"Willow!"

"Mr. Carter, shut up!"

Kenan, brandishing his fists, lunged at Zayn's face in a frenzy.

This time, Zayn didn't dodge. Nonchalantly wiping blood from his lip, Zayn's eyes were full of disdain. "Mr. Dawson, the woman you cherish is so filthy. Don't you feel disgusted?"

With that, Zayn scooped up Skyler and left without a backward glance, slamming the door behind him.

Even after he slammed the door behind him, Willow's body still trembled uncontrollably.

The room's air conditioning was blowing on full blast. Yet Willow still had goosebumps all over her body. Despite vigorously rubbing her arms, she couldn't shake off the chill.

Willow despised how Zayn trampled on her dignity, but she couldn't deny the truth in his words. She did sign that shameful contract, sealing her fate.

"Hmph!" Matthew sneered in disdain as he left.

Seeing everyone leave, Alexis didn't want to stay either. She gave Willow a worried look before quietly exiting

"Willow, is what Mr. Carter said true?"

Kenan's question shattered the room's eerie calm, leaving Willow in a more wretched state than before! She didn't know how to address such a shameful matter because no matter what, it couldn't hide her shame.

Willow couldn't even bring herself to tell Nicola about her visit to the m Rumpus Club.

Now that Kenan knew, how could he not look down on her?

In the end, she would lose even Kenan's warmth.

After what felt like forever, Willow finally spoke up, "Yes, everything he the Yes, said is true.
