Unwanted Marriage: Honey, No More Divorce!

Chapter 581: No One Will Love You, Even in Your Next Life

As quickly as possible, Christian rushed back home.

His company wasn’t far from where he lived and he arrived in just a few minutes.

His door had a fingerprint lock.

But when Christian put his finger on the lock, the door didn’t open.

Christian’s eyes became colder. He knew that Zen had locked the door from the inside.

Only when the door was locked from the inside would the fingerprint lock fail.

But what Zen didn’t know was that this house contained all his prized possessions.

Christian would never accept that he couldn’t open the door.

The door was custom-made by Christian, and when it was locked from the inside, as long as the specific password was entered, it could be opened.

Soon, the door opened.

Christian closed the door behind him. Step by step, he slowly toward the house with heavy footsteps.

All this time, Zen still did not know that she had accidentally touched the intruder alarm that Christian had placed long ago.

She looked in every nook and cranny of the house but still could not find the safe.

Her guilty conscience started to act up, and she broke out in cold sweat.

Zen slightly bent her body, scrutinizing every part of this room.

She couldn’t give up.

She had to search again.

And this time, she had to be more thorough.

Thus, Zen began to look for any hidden compartments or switches.

Suddenly, with her hands, Zen felt something slightly protruding out of place. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Her eyebrows unknowingly twitched, and she used all her might to push down on it.

Sure enough, the corner of the wall started to move, and the floor opened up, showing a secret path.

Zen’s eyes lit up.

While Zen was still basking in the happiness from finding the safe, she did not notice that someone had closed the door behind her.

Crouching on the ground, Zen bent her back, wanting to pick up the safe.

To her dismay, the safe was secured by a thin metal chain. Zen could not remove it away at all.

Zen couldn’t help but furrow her brows.

She traced the metal chain, and she saw a small lock at the end.

The lock was small. Zen needed to go closer to see what was on its surface.

Unfortunately, before Zen could take a closer look, she felt something icy cold and hit the back of her head hard.

Subconsciously, Zen screamed out of shock.

Looking behind her, Zen saw Christian’s familiar face.

Her heart immediately started to race, as if it was about to jump out from her.

"C-Christian..." Zen tried her best to control her emotions, maintaining a normal expression. The ends of her lips slightly twitching upward, forcing her words out slowly. She asked, "Why are you back? At this time, aren’t you supposed to be busy with work?"

"Yes, but I received a message that someone triggered the emergency alarm. I could not sit back and wait so I came back." Christian said with the coldest gaze, "I thought Michael brought people to raid my house. I didn’t think that the thief has been living in my house."

When he referred to Zen as a thief that had been living in his house, she felt the sarcasm in the sentence.

When did Christian regard her as one of his people?

To him, she was nothing but a dog.

A dog he could do anything to as he pleased.

Despite the wave of emotions that overcame her, she seemingly stayed calm and collected, saying with a smile, "I came here to tidy up because I had nothing else to do."

"Tidy up?" Christian looked into Zen’s eyes, sneering, "Zen, didn’t I tell you you’re not supposed to enter this room? If you come in one more time, I won’t hesitate to break your legs!"

...

Zen’s heart palpitated even faster as she looked into Christian’s eyes.

She instinctively lowered her head and did not dare to look at him.

Christian had told her several times that she was not permitted to enter this room.

No one was permitted to enter.

Zen had previously entered the room secretly out of curiosity.

Owing to her curiosity, she learned of the contents in the room. She seemed emotional when she saw Wendy’s stuff there and felt nauseated, but she did not touch anything inside.

Since the alarm was not triggered, Christian did not know that she entered the room.

If not for the previous argument where Zen exposed Christian for his schemes, he would never have known that she had secretly entered the room before.

Christian sharply warned her that he would break her legs if she ever dared to break his rule again.

Zen sensed a draft coming up from her legs and trembled.

"Haha..." Zen laughed forcibly before she swallowed thickly and said, "I... I was... I was just... I was really just trying to clean up the room. I know no one is allowed to enter. I have already gone inside the room before and I know why you don’t want people to see the things inside. I simply thought it might get dirty since the servants are not allowed inside, so I decided to help..." Even Zen was having trouble lying with a straight face.

"Do I look like an idiot to you?" asked Christian. "Did you think you could fool me?"

Zen did not answer Christian.

Christian was no fool. Now that things had come to this, it was impossible for him not to grasp the truth.

She decided not to make any more excuses.

"Did Michael send you here?" Christian’s gun remained raised to Zen’s forehead.

"Yes, he did," answered Zen candidly no longer hiding the truth.

"When did you start working for him?" Christian had already suspected this, but he wanted to hear it from Zen’s mouth.

"Ever since I was hospitalized," answered Zen truthfully.

"Haha..." Christian could not help laughing. His laughter sounded sad and disappointed. "I was right."

Zen glanced around the place.

Since she was familiar with this territory, she felt she stood a high chance of escaping Christian’s clutches.

Sadly, the chances were almost non-existent.

His apartment was located on the 28th floor, so jumping through the window was not an option.

Using the window was as good as suicide.

How could she fight an armed man?

Zen swiftly gave up her plans to escape.

She inhaled deeply and started to lose hope.

"Zen, why did you betray me?" Christian’s voice seemed to sound even deeper. "Did you not love me? How could you betray me?"

Zen hated hearing Christian talk about how much she loved him.

Zen raised her head with the gun still pointed to it and could not help saying, "Can you stop talking about how much I love you? Can you be reasonable for once, Christian?

"You manipulated me and forced me to betray my friends when I was in love with you. You restricted my movement, made me commit suicide by jumping out of the car, and made me lose my child. Even when I was lying in the hospital bed, you used my parents to threaten me into waking up. You always threaten me using my family.

You always hit me and humiliate me.

"How can you question my love for you under such circumstances? How could I love you? Christian, you are completely abnormal. You are a sick, demented, stubborn, unscrupulous man. You are ready to sacrifice anyone to get what you want. You used me even though I loved you so much..."

...

"If you love someone, it has to be wholehearted and unwavering," roared Christian when he heard what Zen said. "Since you are in love with me, you have to love me for eternity. You can only love me!"

"Do you think you are a normal person?" Zen looked into Christian’s sinister eyes and smiled as she spoke.

"No, I am abnormal." The smile on Christian’s face became increasingly creepy. He put the gun away and reached out to seize Zen by the neck.

He seemed to enjoy strangling Zen and felt an adrenalin rush when he saw her gasping, her face flushed.

These were the consequences of betraying him!

"I have not been normal for a long time, so what?" said Christian as he strangled Zen by the neck until the veins in his hands surfaced. It was clear he was strangling her hard. "You said you loved me. Now, you can’t stop loving me without my say-so! You are only allowed to love me!"

Zen could barely breathe, Christian’s silhouette reflected in her eyes.

He was simply terrifying.

Zen slapped Christian’s hands hard for him to let go of her, but her hands gradually slowed down.

She was running out of strength.

Just as Zen thought Christian was about to strangle her to death, he let go.

Zen lay on the ground and instinctively gasped deeply.

She was breathing so hard that she choked on her saliva and coughed for a while.

When she was finally done coughing, Zen raised her head and looked at Christian.

She laughed as she said, "Christian, did you not just say that if you love someone, you have to be wholehearted and unwavering? Then what about Wendy?"

Zen deliberately stabbed Christian where it would hurt most.

It had clearly triggered him.

He swiftly kicked her viciously.

Christian kicked Zen so hard that she retreated a few steps.

She kept retreating until she reached the wall and stopped.

Zen could taste blood in her mouth and spat it out.

Zen was in great pain, but she was numb from all the torture and could not feel anything.

She continued, "You love Wendy, but you never even dared to tell her that you loved her. She has never even looked you straight in the eye before. How could you have the nerve to talk about unwavering wholehearted love?

"Just look at what you did to the woman you love. You had her abducted, thrown into the sea, and almost killed her.

"I have nothing to say about you and Michael’s personal vendetta, but Wendy has done nothing against you. If Wendy had not gotten lucky, she would have died by your hands ages ago.

"Just look at what happens to the people who love you and the ones you love? No one will ever fall in love with someone like you. Not this lifetime or the next!"

"Do you want to die?" The moment Christian finished his sentence, he walked up beside Zen.

He raised his foot, wanting to step on her.

At this stage, Zen was no longer afraid of him.

She raised her head and yelled hoarsely, "Christian, if you don’t finish me off now, I will despise you forever! If you don’t kill me, I will tell Michael that the safe is in your house. Hahahaha!"

Christian’s foot hovered in mid-air as he watched Zen scream madly.

In an instant, Christian’s phone rang.

Christian answered the phone annoyed.

An anxious voice came from over the phone, "Mr. Lucas, bad news..."
