All too late for his love

During her time as an extra, Willow had benefited from Joseph's kindness, leading her to hold him in high regard. However, during their meeting that evening, she was taken aback by his ulterior motives.

In a desperate attempt to thwart his advances, she summoned every ounce of her strength, but his hold remained unshakeable.

"Let go of me!"

"Aren't you in desperate need of money? Spend the night with me and you'll be handsomely rewarded!"

Although Willow desperately needed money, she had never thought of selling her body for it!

At times, she found it rather absurd. Zayn had gotten Skyler pregnant, yet here she was, considering preserving her chastity for him. Who was she even trying to please?

A forceful slap sent a resounding echo through the room, momentarily disorienting Joseph. Willow seized this opportunity to break free from his clutches and make a hasty retreat toward the door.

The door loomed just a few steps away, yet before she could reach the handle, Joseph grabbed her shoulder and ruthlessly hurled her to the ground.

"Get off mel Don't touch me! Keep your hands off me!"

Willow managed to roll onto her side with great difficulty. She was about to get up and rush toward the door when a wave of excruciating pain shot through her abdomen, more precisely, her stomach, A cascade of cold sweat streamed down Willow's forehead as her body succumbed to a state of limpness, resembling a discarded rag. She was utterly drained, incapable of mustering even a sliver of strength.

When he saw Willow's subdued demeanor, Joseph couldn't help but gloat, "Why couldn't you have been this obedient from the start? It would have saved me a lot of trouble!"

Suddenly, the door burst open with a resounding bang, and Zayn was seen standing menacingly in the doorway. Due to the sudden commotion, Willow's disordered emotions gradually regained equilibrium.

In a deliberate manner, Joseph tidied up his lower garments.

As he recalled Skyler's instructions, he hastily retrieved several stacks of hundred dollar bills from his briefcase and hurled them at Willow.

'We'll pick this up again tomorrow evening!

Afterward, Zayn ruthlessly penched Joseph in the face, causing it to contort.

Joseph, visibly shaken by Zayn's overwhelming presence, quickly retreated from his earlier bravado, "Mr. Carter, I-I really don't understand what I've done to upset you! P-please tell me! I'll do better!

"Mr. Carter, I was just blowing off some steam tonight. I don't think I did anything to upset you!"

Joseph deliberately glanced at Willow, who remained limp on the ground, and assumed an expression of sudden enlightenment, "Mr. Carter, could it be that you've also taken a liking to this woman as well?"

Another forceful blow struck Joseph's face, and he retreated from the room in a flurry of panicked movements, his tear evident in every step.

As he looked at the stacks of hundred dollar bills on Willow's body, Zayn's gaze tumed roy cold and he scoffed, "Willow, I must say, you've truly outdone yoursel this time!”

Willow desperately wanted to explain to Zayn that she had nothing to do with Joseph.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Yet, the excruciating pain in her stomach intensified, causing her m body to convulse uncontrollably. She was so weakened by the agony that she could barely muster the strength to defend herself.

Willow's silence only deepened Zayn's conviction of her brazeness. He roughly tossed her onto the bed, chee and his once handsome visage e twisted into a sinister gru "willow, sher you're so desperate for men, I'll satisfy you!"
