Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 52

"You’re just a nobody! If you’re so capable, come and snatch her from me." Zayn did not let Lindsey go and only tightened his grip.

As he approached Shaun, Zayn's tone was arrogant. "If you can grab her, she's yours."

Shaun wanted to make a move, but when he looked up, he saw Lindsey's pleading face.

Lindsey did not want him to fight with Zayn, who had no qualms about doing anything, but Shaun was different. She did not want to cause any more trouble for her big brother.

Zayn dragged Lindsey to the car and threw her inside. Lindsey did not say a word the entire way home.

If she did not say anything, Zayn naturally would not either.

It was not until they got back to the bedroom when Lindsey suddenly said, “Can you please use another trick next time?”

Zayn paused in his movements when he was leaning towards her. Lindsey looked at him emotionlessly and said, “Do you feel good humiliating me in public like this? Zayn Guggenheim, being your wife makes me feel disgusted!”

Lindsey took a page out of Zayn’s playbook and emphasized the word “wife”. At an instant, there was a pure rage in Zayn’s eyes.

"Lindsey Juhl, say it again." Zayn fiercely pinched her chin, forcing her to lift her head.

"I said that you disgust me!" In such a position, Lindsey spoke with difficulty, but she still said it word by word.

"Fine. I was about to let you go." Zayn's hand gradually climbed up to Lindsey's face.

The next instant, that hand lifted fiercely and Lindsey thought that he was going to slap her, so she subconsciously turned her head. Unexpectedly, Zayn pulled her hair and dragged her to the front of the room.

"I'm disgusting? What about your big brother? Is it not repulsive of you to seduce other men? Lindsey Juhl, do you really think that he’s your backer? Let me tell you. Even if I don't want you anymore, Shaun wouldn’t even dare touch you!

"However much I disgust you, you’re still by my side and will do whatever I say, right? You’ll still find ways to please my family."

He took her respect for his grandfather as trying to please him.

The man in front of her gritted his teeth as if he wanted to eat her alive. Lindsey felt as if her entire scalp was going to be yanked off. It was so painful that she could not say a word, so she just glared at Zayn with hatred.

"Lindsey Juhl, you should be glad that you rejected him today. Otherwise, I’ll give you a taste of something worse than death!"

He ruthlessly threw her across the floor. Her shoulders, back, head and every part of her hurt so much that she could not utter a single word. Everything blurred before her eyes.

She glanced at the pair of well-made leather shoes that stopped right in front of her. Lindsey covered her head and tried to sit up, but everything went black and she collapsed.

Why did she fall in love with such a man?

Before she completely fainted, Lindsey felt someone carrying her and could not help but ask herself that question.

The warmth she felt for him during her childhood could no longer support her through this long and harsh winter.

When Lindsey woke up, the sun was shining brightly outside the window and she was lying in bed. Her shoulders and back were sore and numb, but her injuries did not hurt as much.

The room was empty as Zayn had left at some point.

Lindsey got up from the bed. She accidentally moved her back muscles where she had been hit and winced in pain.

Lindsey did not want to see Zayn. She saw the secretary’s pitiful eyes, but Lindsey did not compromise and said, "I'm with my team. If it's something related to the project, please get the person in charge of the Denarius side of this cooperation to deal with me directly."

Her attitude was resolute and she did not care about Zayn. The secretary was stunned as she did not expect that Lindsey would refuse her so bluntly. As the secretary thought of Mr. Guggenheim's cold face, she suddenly felt that this job was so difficult.

"Ms. Juhl..."

"I still have work, so let's not talk about it anymore." The secretary still wanted to persuade her, but Lindsey refused to listen.

Things had already reached this point. Unless Denarius calls off this project, Lindsey would not let Zayn order her around again. Even if the project was called off, the one who would lose the most would be Denarius.

Lindsey was also certain that Zayn would not put the interests of the entire company at risk just to mess with her. Her guess was right because when the secretary returned to the President’s office without Lindsey following behind her, Zayn understood Lindsey’s intentions and did not do much to her all morning.

"Lindsey, come here quickly."

Lindsey and Ginny had just eaten lunch and she was in a better mood when Mr. William suddenly called her over.

Mr. William had an anxious look on his face, so Lindsey panicked a little and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Look! Weren't these data sorted out yesterday? Why do so many of them not match up?"

Lindsey took a closer look and found a lot of problems, but she prepared this data personally and had sent a copy to Mr. William yesterday. Not only Mr. William, but every Hemera employee had a copy too.

"Don’t panic just yet. Let me check again. The data this afternoon coincides with Denarius' handover." Lindsey tried to pacify Mr. William.

Even though their roles this time were switched, Mr. William was still her boss.
