All too late for his love

The feast on the table made Willow tear up once more. Back when she was passionately in love with Zayn, she used to wake up hungry. She'd be famished after washing up.

Later, Zayn always made breakfast before she got up so that she could have some comforting, warm soup when she woke up.

Zayn hadn't started off as a good cook. The first time he tried to cook, he nearly burned the kitchen to the ground. Still, he was willing to get to work for Willow.

After a few tries, his cooking skills improved. As he was smart and a fast learner, he gradually became as skilled as the hotel chefs. At present, Willow stared at Zayn through tears. She wondered if he was offering her a carrot after giving her the stick.

Too bad she would not accept that. She'd never forget how cruel he had been to Aaron and Nicola. Besides, people would change all the time. The dishes in front of her might have been her favorites. However, after four years in the dungeon, these dishes had become a nightmare for her.

"Have some food, Willow." Zayn placed the fish on her plate. He felt somehow uneasy and furious at the sight of her emaciated frame. He was compelled to pile more food on her plate.

Soon, her plate was filled to the brim with food. She stared vacantly at the deboned fish on her plate as terrible memories resurfaced.

Skyler forced her to eat fish when she was held prisoner in the dungeon. She remembered Skyler saying, Lolo, you love fish, don't you? And you always get Zayn to cook it for you. Fine, then. I'll let you have fish today!"

The fish in question was raw. Skyler forced the raw fish down Willow's throat. Her men pinned her down and stuffed her mouth with the raw fish.

Willow hated the stench, and her throat was in so much pain. Still, they did not go easy on her.

The bones or the gills must have scratched her throat. In great pain, she couldn't speak for a while. It was after that traumatic incident that she stopped eating fish. The sight of the baked fish reminded her of the disgusting taste of raw fish and the despair and helplessness during her time in the dungeon.

Besides fish, she had since stopped eating stir-fried cucumbers. The people at the dungeon had force-fed her some rotten cucumbers. When she refused to swallow the rotten food, they shoved a stick into her mouth and pushed the food down her throat.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

In the end, she did not manage to swallow the rotten cucumbers. She did, however, cough up a huge mouthful of blood from the injuries in her mouth and throat.

When Zayn placed a piece of buffalo wings on her plate, she turned to the trashcan and puked her guts out.

The worst experience by far was that time when her captors force-fed her some spoiled buffalo wings. that reeked of rotten flesh. She could neither swallow the rotten wings nor spit them out.

through again.

Zayn, unaware of her trauma, was angered by her disgust at the sgust at the m breakfast he had kindly prepared for her-he even went so far as to debone the fish for her!

He thought, "No matter how I try to please her, she seems to find the revolting."
