Chapter 288 We Should Divorce (2/2)

After he was done, Zed looked up slowly to see Jean waiting for him to finish, patiently.

The moment Zed looked at her, Jean felt her heart skip a beat. She felt her breathing fasten and did not know what to do.

She breathed in and calmed herself down. She put on a straight face, not wanting to show him her true feelings. She composed herself and asked him,” Zed, why did you go to The Pearl Hotel this morning?”

Zed was stumped. Jean had cleverly asked him a question that would reveal his true feelings about her. Zed could not answer it. The truth was, that he still cared for her. He had gone there because of her. He couldn't let her know he had come here last night to see her.

He was worried that Jean didn't have any bodyguards and could be in danger.

He had ordered Toby, one bodyguard, to stay on her trail and keep an eye on her at all times. Toby was always there, on his orders.

So when Zed left the hospital this morning, without any bodyguards by his side, he had become vulnerable to attack.

He responded coldly,” You have no right to ask me any

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex. To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him. ”As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses.”She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women...

estion...” Zed said. He looked at Jean and continued,” ...do you remember my response every time when you mentioned divorce? I can help you remember, if you are not being able to recall it. I had said I will not let that happen. I will not divorce you, until and unless I want to.”

Jean could feel the anger radiating from Zed, as he spoke. Jean was scared of him now. But she put on a brave face and simply said,” Zed, there is nothing left between us anymore.”

Jean just could not understand why Zed still wanted to continue this relationship even when there was no love or meaning left in it anymore.

”Nothing?” Zed replied, in a menacing tone,” Jean, you seem to be forgetting a lot of things.” He wanted to tell her,” Jean, you own me” but he couldn't say it. So he just made a dissatisfied noise.”You need to take responsibility for the video incident. It is because of that video, that someone is after me now. You see how it has affected me. I got hurt because of it. Everyone knows that you have been fooling around behind my back, getting another man to please you. Everyone has seen it. Do you really think that you should leave me at such a time? When I am in such danger? Do you want everyone to say that you put me in danger and then left me?

In fact, why didn't we ever talk about this affair of yours? Tell me Jean, how could you flirt with another man when we are still married?” Zed was trying every possible way to keep her from danger and yet not leave her.

He knew that Jean was too naive to know what was happening around her.

Zed was hoping to show her, make her realize that she is being watched.

”Zed, please don't say such things. You know I am not that kind of a person. I don't leave people when they are in trouble or danger. We both know that there is a problem in our relationship. I wasn't even the first person to know about your accident. How is it normal for a couple to keep distance from each other like this? I haven't been in your life since a very long time. I don't think we're even a couple anymore, owing to all this distance.” Jean was frank and blunt when she expressed how she really felt.
