Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 284

Zora was on the verge of a meltdown. "Jaylan! You... you made promises to me! Are you afraid to tell her that? Well, then, I will..."

Without waiting for Zora to finish, Jaylan spun around, his hand clasping around her neck like a vise. His hawk-like gaze met hers head-on.

I smirked, "See, Zora? Now you can see who stands shoulder to shoulder and who's face to face."

Even with her air supply cut off, Zora still managed to squeeze out a jab at me. "Aaliyah, I never knew you were so patient. You're not the only girl he's cheated on, and you know it. He and Marissa are shacking up together..."

"Zora, if you value your life, you'll shut up!" Jaylan's grip tightened around her neck, and Zora's face turned red. Her hands were clawing at his, trying to pry his fingers off.

Her breathing became labored, her eyes bulged, and a tear streaked down her face, slipping off Jaylan's hand.

"Jaylan... you'll regret this... This woman... she's no good. I'm... I'm the only one who truly loves you."

Her words were the punch line to the most hilarious joke I'd ever heard. I watched the scene unfold before me, calmly waiting to see how this life-or-death drama would play out.

Zora's struggles were weakening, her eyes filled with terror and sorrow. But Jaylan showed no signs of letting go.

"Jaylan, if you end up killing her, it's going to be way more explosive than a simple police call," I commented, my eyes never leaving Zora's liver-colored face. "To end up like this as a mistress, you’re so pitiful."

At my words, Jaylan suddenly released his grip. Like a puppet whose strings had been cut, Zora collapsed onto the floor.

I smirked, "Don't tell me your brother slept with your woman again?"

Hannah couldn't contain her laughter, but she quickly masked it with a straight face.

I turned to Zora, "You know, I am more aware of how many women he's been with than you are. You're just a nanny he keeps at home, while those outside are showing off their beauty and competing for his attention."

Enraged, Zora lunged at Jaylan.

Perhaps Jaylan had had enough, or maybe he wanted to vent his anger. He landed a punch on Zora before she could reach him. The sound of the impact made me wince!
