His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 123

Tessa raised her knee into Zachary's gut, forcing him to release her with a pained cry. She didn't stop there, though, as she raised her hand and slapped Zachary hard across his face.

Slap! The sound of her palm connecting against his cheek reverberated loud and clear in the hallway.

Tessa's eyes were aflame with fury. She yelled, "Zachary, get away from me! You don't deserve me!"

Her slap was so powerful that it forced Zachary's face to the side. Raising his gaze, he stared at Tessa. The corners of his eyes were beginning to redden, matching the glaringly red handprint on his cheek.

"Tessy, why are you so cruel to me?"

Zachary's voice was soft as he was upset.

Tessa chuckled coldly. Her eyes were filled with hatred. "Do you need to ask why? Heh. It's because you're filthy now. We can never go back to the past."

Staring at him haughtily, she lifted her chin. "A man who doesn't love himself is worse than trash. I'll never go back for the trash I've already discarded."

She didn't give Zachary a chance to respond after saying her piece. Turning, she entered her apartment, slamming her door shut with a loud bang.

Zachary stood outside, staring at the closed door. A deep sorrow swam in his endlessly dark eyes.

"It's because you're filthy now. We can never go back to the past."

Her words were like needles, stabbing deeply and mercilessly into Zachary's heart. It caused his heart to puncture all over, turning it into a nearly unrecognizable lump of flesh.
