The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning By Max Charming novel Chapter 424

Madelyn cautioned Zach. "Don't do anything stupid. I've already called Ethan, and he'll be here soon."

Zach countered, "Donna Jolie's return has me thinking. Do you think Ethan still cares about you?"

Madelyn wasn't about to let him off the hook. "And what about you? Do you still have feelings for Jadie, brother?" She whispered the last word, her hand gently resting against his chest to stop him from coming any closer. Their close proximity allowed her to catch a faint whiff of tobacco on him. She wondered, 'I thought he didn't like smoking?'

Her words left Zach speechless.

Madelyn continued, her emotions bubbling to the surface. "When I had feelings for you, it seemed like you didn't care about anything I did. Now that I've moved on and started dating someone else, you keep coming around, Zach..." She suppressed the turmoil in her heart and locked eyes with him. "Have you fallen for me?"

Zach's gaze remained enigmatic. He leaned in closer, planting warm kisses along her neck. His voice grew husky as he responded, "Think whatever you want."

"But even if Ethan leaves me because Donna Jolie is back, you and I can never be together. If you're only treating me as a plaything, I'll be devastated. Everything I've done was to distance myself from you..." Madelyn's words hung heavy in the air, each one laden with emotion.

Zach's actions came to an abrupt stop. He held her chin, bringing their faces close, and he whispered, "Do you need me to spell it out for you, Madelyn? You can't escape me."

In one swift motion, Zach pushed Madelyn onto the bed, leaving her dizzy. He pressed down on top of her, his grip firm as he kissed her forcefully. In mere moments, Madelyn found herself stripped of her clothes.
