All too late for his love

Zayn's eyes narrowed, his expression visibly enraged. His gaze bore into Willow's face..

"Willow, say that again!"

"Zayn, you're a jerk! I must be blind to fall in love with a bastard like you!"

Zayn violently gripped Willow's jaw, squeezing so tightly she felt her bones might shatter.

But she didn't feel the pain, only a chilling emptiness.

Despite her immense heartache, she managed to muster a mocking smile. "Go ahead and kill me Zayn!

Aaron is already dead because of you. My life means nothing anymore! Kill me!"

"Willow, I won't kill you. You've hurt Skyler time and time again. Killing you would be letting you off too easily.

"As for that bastard's death...

"He died because I had forsaken him. Nothing to do with Skyler! If you seek revenge, come after me! But if you dare harm Skyler again, I'll crush you to dust!"

Suddenly, Zayn paused, his voice faltering. "Right, Willow, you're not afraid of death. Threatening your life won't work, will it?

"But even if that bastard is dead, you still have a soft spot! If you hurt Skyler again, I promise Nicola won't see the light of tomorrow!"

Zayn forcefully pushed Willow away. She fell to the ground like a shattered porcelain doll.

Nicola....

Nicola was her weakness too. Zayn would do anything for Skyler!

Overwhelming desolation filled Willow's heart. Willow knew if she spoke again, she would only invite more insults. But she couldn't help but say, "Mr. Carter, why do you only believe Skyler?

"Skyler and that head of the kidnappers have long been in cahoots! She's the mastermind behind Aaron's death! Zayn, Skyler's made a fool of you. You don't even care about your son's life! What a bastard!"

Willow struggled to get up from the ground. She couldn't let Aaron's killer get away.

Without proof to expose Skyler's crime, she'd have to take matters into her own hands. She'd kill her.

Even if she couldn't kill her, hitting her would be worth it!

Seeing a brick nearby, Willow grabbed it, intending to smash Skyler's head. But before she could throw the brick, Zayn kicked it away.

His powerful kick made her hand ache. Before she could recover, his leather shoe stomped on her hand. His foot ground her hand and crushed her heart.

He chided, "Willow, be glad you didn't hurt Skyler. If you had 'd use this If you head e

brick to smash your head!"

After saying this, he carefully pulled Skyler Into his embrace, "Skyler, don't worry. I won'Net this mad dog bite you!"

Willow laughed bitterly. Between her and Skyler, who was the mad dog?

Before she could recover from the insult, she felt a sting on her facen Several hundred-dollar bills were forcefully thrown at her.

"Willow, do me a favor!"
