The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 671

Madelyn crouched down to look at the bouquet of flowers that had not withered yet, and it looked just like the one she was holding. She wiped her fingers on the tombstone and realized that it was clean, and the weeds around it seemed to have been cleared a few days ago too.

She figured that it could not possibly be her father because he had moved to Sinagora with Jasmine very long ago.

Who could it be then? There was no picture on the tombstone and only her mother’s name, Alicia Wood, was engraved on it.

Alicia was indeed the most beautiful woman of her time, otherwise, the upper-class circle of Ventropolis would not have crowned her as the prettiest lady. And Madelyn had inherited every part of her mother’s beauty.

Zach stood at the side while smoking in the wind. Madelyn only stood up after he had finished his third cigarette. Mom, very soon… we’ll meet again,” she said.

‘I finally met you after so long,’ she whispered.

“Let’s go home,” she told Zach. A thunder sounded from the sky, and it was going to rain very soon.

They would have a more difficult time going down the hill if they were to stay any longer. “Don’t you have anything else you want to say?”

Madelyn shook her head. “It’s okay. Let’s get going.”

The sky had turned completely dark when they returned to the car. Once inside, Madelyn took out the blazer, handed it back to him, and said, ” Thank you.”

Zach grabbed it and put it over her legs. “It’s getting cold.”

His expression remained calm as he spoke. Madelyn looked out of the window without saying anything in response.

Kevin started the car and drove to The Deli. The manager knew that Zach was coming and immediately greeted him as soon as they arrived. He smiled and bowed at him while extending his arm toward the entrance.

“Mr. Jardin, your private room is ready.

Zach stepped closer to Madelyn and wrapped his arm around her waist. Madelyn glared at him in displeasure as she wanted to keep a distance from him when so many people were looking. However, she just could not break free.

Back then, everyone in town knew that Zach and Yvonne got engaged, yet he came to dine with another woman…

Madelyn knew very well what Zach was trying to do. Everyone that was looking at her with strange eyes kept quiet. After all, there was nothing surprising about a wealthy man having a secret lover. It was the norm.

Besides, Zach was on his way to becoming the richest man in Ventropolis. Under the crowd’s gaze, Zach brought Madelyn to a luxurious private room that had been renovated recently.

The waiters came in with various dishes one after another while the manager stood at the side to serve them. He ladled some soup into a bowl for Madelyn and placed it in front of her, “Ms. Jent, we know that you love the food here, and we even rewarded the chef.

“This is a new dish we just introduced, bluefin tuna freshly caught from Cavern Lake. The name for this dish is ” The Royal Catch”.

Instead of trying it, Madelyn said to the manager, “No need to introduce the dishes to us. You can go about your business.

The manager looked at the man seated beside her. Zach waved his hand at him. Then, he went out of the room and closed the door, giving them some private space.

As soon as the manager stepped outside, he said to the two waiters standing at the door in a serious tone,” The people inside are very important guests. Be sure to take good care of them. If you make even a single mistake, you can forget about your salary for this month.”

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 672

“Manager, we know that’s the CEO of the Jardin Corporation, but isn’t he engaged to Ms. Young? Who’s that woman inside? Is he cheating on his fiancée?”

The manager saw Kevin walking toward them and immediately scolded the waiters, “Shut your mouth and do your work. Otherwise, you can leave!”

Madelyn loved the fish here. Zach had already removed the bones for her and put a piece of fish fillet on her plate before she picked her utensils up. He then took away the bowl of soup the manager had just served and threw it in the trash can without hesitation.

“I can’t eat so much.”

“It’s fine. We have a lot of time tonight. Also, even if we can’t finish it, we can take it home and have the rest as a midnight snack.”

Madelyn ate half of the fish and finished two bowls of fish soup. However, Zach had not eaten at all. The two of them had a pleasant and peaceful time together.

“I’m done. The rest is yours.” Madelyn put down her knife and fork. “Don’t waste food. There’s some left on your plate.” Zach picked up a piece of fish and fed it to her.

Madelyn knew that he was just pretending. His kindness always had ulterior motives behind it. However, he was unaware that she had seen through everything from her past life.

Madelyn did not eat it. Instead, she stood up restroom.” and said, “I need to use the As he looked at the receding figure with his dark gaze, the affection in his eyes was immediately nowhere to be found.

Then, he put down his fork, took out a cigarette, and started smoking in the private room. He lifted his wrist to check the time and realized that they had been eating for almost an hour.

At that time, the door was pushed open. A tall, slender woman came inside. She wore black stockings and had a youthful, innocent face. “Mr. Jardin, these fruits are complimentary from us. Allow me to clear the table for you.”

The private room reeked with the smell of cigarettes, so she opened the window for ventilation.

Then, she started clearing the almost untouched dishes before going to another side to clean up the fish bones. Suddenly, she slipped and let out a scream. She fell and sat on Zach’s lap. However, Zach remained expressionless. The lady looked flustered. “I-I’m sorry, Mr. Jardin…”

Although she apologized, she did not try to get up at all. Instead, she subtly made a few suggestive movements with her hips while sitting on Zach’s lap.

After seeing that Zach did not push her away, she began to feel a little relieved. As she was about to do something more, the door was suddenly pushed open…

Madelyn was momentarily stunned as her hand froze on the door handle for a few seconds. Then, she looked away from Zach and the waiter before leaving the private room silently.

The cruel, brutal side of Zach immediately came out as he forcefully pushed the lady aside, causing her to fall to the ground. She was not expecting him to do that at all as she sat there in pain. She then looked at the hostile expression on his face and was terrified.

“I-I’m sorry, Mr. Jardin. I didn’t mean to do that.”

Zach lowered his gaze Then, he lifted his black, expensive. custom-made leather shoes and stomped on the lady’s hand as he said in a cold tone, It’s good to be bold, but unfortunately, this is the wrong time!”

After that, people outside the private room heard a spin-chilling scream of agony.

The manager immediately rushed over, knowing that it must have been from Zach’s room as no one else would dare to cause trouble there.

The manager saw Zach walking out of the private room and the waitress curled up on the floor in pain. His eyes immediately widened, but it did not take him long to regain his composure,

“Goodbye, Mr. Jardin. See you next time.”

The manager could tell that the waitress’ hand was broken.

Zach stood at the entrance and saw Madelyn, who was squatting down while trying to help a little girl who had just fallen up. . That little girl was wearing a bear costume and her hat had two adorable ears.

“Thank you, pretty lady!” the little girl exclaimed.

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 673

Madelyn brushed off the dust from her body and comforted her, “Let me see your hand. Does it hurt?”

“Not at all.” Madelyn pinched her cheek and said with a smile, “You’re such a good girl. Where’s your mother? Why are you here alone?”

The little girl giggled. “She went to the restroom, but she realized there was no toilet paper inside, so I came to bring her some.

Madelyn’s voice sounded very warm and kind. Also, it was evident that the little girl liked her very much too. “I see. It’s dangerous for a little child like you to be here alone. Let’s wait for your mom inside, okay?”

“Oh, sure thing.”

Madelyn thought of her baby girl who had left this world before being born.” If she were still alive, would she be as cute as this little girl, calling me Mom?’ she wondered.

What happened to her baby was going to haunt her for the rest of her life. But… she would never have another baby again.

After some time, Zach came outside. Madelyn stood up and met his gaze before getting into his car. Kevin came over with the leftovers and placed them into the trunk.

Both of them kept quiet during the ride and what happened to their baby was a pain that they could never overcome.

Zach had done a lot of wicked things in his life. If anyone ever found out about his heinous actions, he would almost certainly receive a death sentence. However, he regretted none of them.

If there was one thing he regretted, it would be what he had done to Madelyn Jent. Time changed, and so did everything else, including the feelings Zach had for Madelyn.

He had simply overestimated himself and his own capabilities. Perhaps something could be mended, but…

There was also something that he could never fix. Finally, they arrived at the Southern Haven Villas. The car journey lasted for more than an hour, but none of them had said a word.

Madelyn got out of the car without looking back. Zach watched her slender figure as she walked toward the villa. He only told Kevin to drive away when she completely disappeared from his sight.

Zach did not appear in front of Madelyn for the next two days. Finally, Madelyn got to spend two days without any disturbance. However, an unexpected guest then disrupted her peace.

Madelyn stood on the third floor and saw Yvonne on the road while holding her phone. She stood beside her red Ferrari that was parked in front of her door. “I have something to talk to you about, but I’m not coming in. Could you meet me downstairs?”

“Let’s just talk on the phone,” Madelyn said. “Madelyn, I want to speak to you in person. I won’t leave until you come down.”

Yvonne ended the call after saying that. She had dared to disobey the warnings Zach had given her, so that was the only thing she could do. There were bodyguards standing at the door, but Madelyn went downstairs anyway and let Yvonne enter the villa.

They sat on the sofa, and there was an indescribable look on the maid’s face. The maid was about to address Yvonne as “Mrs. Jardin” but managed to correct herself in time. “Ms. Young, please have some tea.”

She could not imagine what would happen if she were to address Yvonne as Mrs. Jardin in front of Madelyn.

The maid thought the confrontation between the two women would be chaotic, but they just seemed like two old friends chatting peacefully after not seeing each other for many years.

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 674

“Would you guys give us some space? I have something to discuss with her.” Yvonne said. “Sure, Ms. Young.” After the maid left, Yvonne and Madelyn were the only ones left in the spacious villa.

“I’m getting married to him next month, on the 20th of September. That would be Yvonne’s birthday.

“Congratulations!”

Yvonne took out an invitation card and placed it in front of Madelyn. “We’ll be family from now on. I hope that you can forgive me for what happened in the past and I would love to see you there that day.”

Madelyn looked at the invitation card and was slightly taken aback. Then, she said nonchalantly, “I’ve already forgotten what happened after so many years. Congratulations, I’m glad that you get to marry the person you love.”

“Besides all this, what I’m about to say may sound a little selfish, but I have to say it anyway…

“I know you and him are not biologically related, but… I’m not a fool. When I saw you again in France, I knew that Zach had done something to you without even having to guess!”

As Madelyn thought about what happened, she clenched her fists tight, gripping on her dress. Not only that she felt ashamed, but she also hated herself for turning into someone that she vowed would not become.

“Madelyn, I hope that you can leave Ventropolis after Zach and I get married. I’ve been loving him with all my heart for the past seven years. I can’t live without him. If he doesn’t show up at our wedding, I’ll go insane.

“I know you left Zach back then because of Donna and you’re not the kind of person who would destroy other people’s relationships. I know that you have no choice. However… your existence is making me feel scared and insecure. I even spend every day doubting and overthinking things.

“I really want to mend our relationship and treat you as family.”

As Yvonne spoke, Madelyn looked at her. Suddenly, she saw Yvonne’s face turning into hers, struggling hysterically. As if she was looking at a mirror, into her past life.

With another blink, Yvonne’s face then transformed into the face of Cecilia. A lot of things flashed across Madelyn’s mind as she closed her eyes, trying to dispel these illusions.

“Zach cares too much about you. Even after all these years, his office desk and wallet are still filled with your pictures. You weren’t even here, yet I could feel your presence everywhere.

“If you agree to leave, I’ll pay you five million. If that’s not enough, there are properties abroad that my family owns, and they’ll be yours too…

“Zach is all I want. Can you not take him away from me, please?” Madelyn stared at her with a melancholic expression. She remembered this was exactly how she had begged Cecilia.

She wondered what Cecilia had felt at that time. Was it happiness, triumph, contempt, or disdain? However, Madelyn felt none of that. Instead, she felt pity not only for Yvonne but for herself too.

She lowered her gaze to the carpet under the coffee table and spoke softly, “I’ve never wanted to interfere with your marriage. My family is still in Ventropolis, so I’m sorry. I can’t agree to leave.”

Yvonne grasped her hair and was on the brink of collapsing, “He’ll never pay any attention to me as long as you’re around. Madelyn Jent, I’m begging you. Please leave Ventropolis.”

Madelyn replied, “Have you considered that even without be other women?” me, there’ll always Yvonne suddenly stood up and yelled, ” It’s not going to happen! All he wants is you!

I’d rather him mess around with other women or cheat on me behind my back than see him always thinking of you.”

Yvonne clutched her chest in agony and muttered, “Did you know that in these four years… he’s never even touched me?”

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 675

‘Zach has never gotten intimate with her? They’ve never had s3x?’ Madelyn could not help but tremble uncontrollably as her gaze widened upon knowing that.

She was shocked. To Madelyn, Zach had never been a loyal man. He was someone who would put his interests and ambitions before everything else.

What about Cecilia? Or Jadie? Zach had only married Cecilia in her past life because of Jadie’s death.

However, Yvonne was telling Madelyn that she was the only person Zach cared about. That was something that Madelyn could not believe. Because… the baby that he had taken away from her showed how much he did not care about her.

Madelyn stood up and looked at the time. “Whether you believe it or not, I was never your enemy. Cecilia is the person you should be watching out for. Also, I would never be a homewrecker who interferes with other people’s marriages. I’m going back to my room now.

“If Zach really loves Cecilia, why aren’t they together? Madelyn… stop trying to fool me!” Yvonne snapped.

She figured that there was no way she would not know if something was going on between Cecilia and Zach.

Half of the Jardin Corporation’s employees also worked for YTCorp, who would report anything suspicious to the Young family.

That was why Yvonne assumed that if Zach was really cheating on her with Cecilia, she would have known.

So to Yvonne, Madelyn was her biggest enemy..

Yvonne, who had been driven to madness, revealed her true nature as she grabbed Madelyn’s arm so hard that her nails stabbed into it.

She had just gotten her nails done, and her sharp nails left a deep mark on Madelyn’s arm. Madelyn frowned as her gaze fell on her arm. “…What if I told you that I’m going to die soon?”

“Wh-What did you say?”

Madelyn looked into her eyes and said calmly, “Six months ago, I was diagnosed with a brain tumor, and now… it’s probably in the advanced stages.

“Yvonne Young, I’m going to die.”

Yvonne chuckled. “Are you joking with me?”

A somewhat wistful smile appeared on Madelyn’s face as she said, “No one would joke about things like this. I don’t have much time left. The doctor said… that I have less than two years to live, and I might even die tomorrow.’

Madelyn brushed her hand away and continued, “You’re the only person who knows about this as of now. I’m only telling you about it because I want you to stop hating me.

“I’ve been everywhere in the past four years and seen a lot of things. So, I’ll have no regrets even if I die…”

After learning about that, Yvonne hurriedly left the villa without saying anything else. Madelyn watched her leave before looking away.

‘If Zach really loves me, then my death would be the greatest punishment for him.’ She thought to herself.

‘Zach Jardin… in my past life, you kicked me out of the house and chased me out of the city, telling me to never appear before you again.

Have you ever regretted doing that? Or in one of those years after I died, have you ever thought of me, the woman you once married? Would you feel sad if you went to see me one day just to find out that I was already dead?’

Suddenly, one of the maids rushed in and said to Madelyn, “Ms. Jent, Mr. Jardin called and said that he’ll be coming here for lunch at twelve.

“Okay.”

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 676

Zach arrived at exactly twelve o’clock. The maids prepared the food on time too. Zach would usually eat in the company cafeteria, so Madelyn knew exactly why he had come all the way here today.

Zach took out his suit and sent all the maids away upon entering the villa, leaving Madelyn alone inside. The maids had prepared plenty of dishes.

Zach noticed the teacups on the table, which the maids had forgotten to clear. Then, his gaze grew hostile. “Someone came here today.”

Madelyn sat at the dining table and answered truthfully after eating a few bites of the food. “It was Yvonne. There was something I wanted to ask her about.”

Then, Zach saw the nail marks on her arm. “What was it? Why didn’t you just ask me instead?

“Does it hurt?”

“I’m fine. Let’s eat,” Madelyn said. Zach put a piece of chicken on her plate, and the way they interacted with each other looked exactly like a married couple. “It’s been three days. I need an answer.”

“I can stay, but you can’t touch me,” Madelyn replied. Zach reacted as if he just heard a joke. ” Do you know what’s the most attractive part of you?

“…It’s your body, Maddie! There’s nothing more tempting than that.”

Suddenly, Madelyn lost her appetite and found the food unappetizing, You have a wife, and what you’re doing is unfair to her.” She took out the invitation card Yvonne gave her earlier as she spoke. “She wanted me to attend your wedding, and I agreed.

“If you consider me as your little sister, then please stop doing things that would hurt her. Yvonne will become my sister-in-law soon.”

“Do you want me to marry her?” Zach asked.

“Would you even listen to me if I said no?”

“Why not?”

“Zach Jardin, how could you take marriage so lightly? Yvonne has sacrificed so much time on you, and this is how you treat her? She’s a human being too. What you’re doing is not right at all!”

Zach held her face, seemingly unconcerned at all as he said, “I don’t care about all that. Maddie, you know me. No one can ever force me to do something I don’t want to do. It’s just a ceremony, nothing to be concerned about.”

“Zach, you’re heartless. You’re going to spend the rest of your life by yourself.” Madelyn got so angry that she slammed her fork on the table.

To Madelyn, Zach’s action was no different from what an animal would do. She stood up, not wanting to look at him anymore. Zach grabbed her wrist, and with a pull, Madelyn fell onto his lap. “Let go of me! Madelyn yelled.

Zach held her wrist with one hand and touched the scratched marks with the other. “I bought a house around my company. It’s a lot nearer than here and will make things easier for us. I’ll bring you there tonight.”

Zach did not tell her that he had bought it five years ago, and nearly spent all of his savings. He had not been earning a lot back then and had barely managed to gather enough money for the downpayment of a unit in the city center.

“We’ll go buy furniture after eating.”

“No!” Madelyn resisted.

“I won’t take no for an answer.”

“Zach, have you thought about how others will see me? You’re already engaged to Yvonne and you’re even going to marry her soon. Even without Yvonne, you should know that nothing you do can make up for everything you’ve done. I’ll never be with you again.

“I’d rather you be the old Zach who used to be ruthless toward, rather than the way you are now! What you’re doing is wrong!”

“Then tell me, what is right and what is wrong?” Zach asked.

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 677

Zach held her face and spoke indifferently as his expression turned serious. “Whatever I do is the right thing.” He did not let Madelyn go and forced her to finish her meal sitting on his lap.

Then, he took her back to the room to change into a dress of his liking. She was just like a toy to him, catering to all his preferences. Madelyn wore a long dress with a coat draped over her shoulder. Then, Zach took her into his car.

They went to the Ventropolis’ largest shopping complex, Jardin Commercial Town, a property owned by the Jardin Corporation.

All of the shops here were frequently visited by wives of wealthy men. The shopping complex offered everything from designer handbags from overseas to various customizable luxury jewelry items….

Zach held Madelyn’s hand firmly, with bodyguards following behind. “Just tell me if there’s anything you’d like to buy,” Zach said to her.

“There’s nothing I need. Zach, I want to go back!” Madelyn had never enjoyed going out. Zach coaxed her patiently, “I’ll take you back home once we’re done shopping.”

To other people, they looked exactly like a couple in love. They took the elevator to the eighth floor, where all the furniture stores were located.

As they entered one store, the manager immediately welcomed them and led them to the showroom, “Mr. Jardin, take a look at our furniture. They’re all made from high-quality redwood. We have beds and cabinets. What are you looking for?”

Zach shifted his gaze to Madelyn. ”

Which one do you like?”

Madelyn looked back at him but showed no sign of happiness. “You’re the one who wanted to come here. Choose for yourself.”

Madelyn turned around and was about to leave, but Zach’s expression had already turned unpleasant. He reached over to grab her slender waist and whispered in her ear, “If you don’t listen to me, I’ll get angry! Maddie, you know what happens when I’m angry.”

The manager put on a smile and pretended that he had heard nothing. Zach tightened his grip on Madelyn’s waist as he picked the largest bed in the store in front of her.

Madelyn gritted her teeth and they spent nearly an hour shopping before purchasing everything they needed. What puzzled her most was that Zach also bought a custom-made pink sofa.

After buying the furniture, Madelyn said, “I want to go back now. I’m tired and need some rest. Zach looked at his watch. “It’s still early.”

Madelyn felt like she was just here to entertain him. Then, for some reason, he brought Madelyn to a women’s clothing store. He walked into the lingerie section, and Madelyn stopped, feeling embarrassed. “Why did you bring me here? Have you no shame?”

Zach put on a happy smile as he gently stroked her long hair. “Sit outside for a while. Tell my bodyguard if you want anything to drink. I won’t take long.”

Madelyn turned around angrily and sat on a bench outside the store. She could not understand why Zach was doing that. Her closet was already filled with clothes, and he had just bought her the latest collection of clothes. There was no need for her to buy any new clothes at all.

Besides, his company had only gotten on track in the past two years. He had a lot of things to take care of, so Madelyn could not figure out why he would have so much free time to spend with her. Suddenly, she heard a voice ring out.

“Darling, do you love me or not? We’re just going to buy some underwear together. What’s there to be ashamed of? If you don’t come with me, it means you don’t love me!”

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 678

“You go on. I’ll wait outside. People are going to laugh at me if they see a man like me going into a lingerie store. I think it’s better for me to stay here. Take this card and spend however much you want. Then, show me everything you bought tonight.” The man then gave the woman a peck after saying that.

The woman took the card and chuckled shyly. “Hey, we’re in public. Behave yourself.”

The man patted the woman’s butt before she went inside. Then, he saw Madelyn, who was sitting outside just like him. His eyes instantly lit up.

However, before he could take another step closer to Madelyn, Zach’s bodyguards stopped him. “Get lost if you want to live.”

“God, what the fuck are you being so aggressive for?”

The man sat back down as he continued to stare at Madelyn, “Hey, hottie! Why are your bodyguards so aggressive?”

Madelyn ignored the man who sounded exactly like a playboy from a wealthy family. “Don’t talk much, huh? Cool. What’s your number? Wanna have some fun with me tonight?

“I’ll introduce some handsome guys to you.”

Madelyn was speechless. At that time, the woman who had just entered the store not long ago came running out in tears. She was limping and there was a visible bruise on her face.

“Babe, what happened to your face?”

“The man inside did this to me. He harassed me and even tried to touch me. I stopped him and he hit me! Boo- hoo… you’ve got to teach him a lesson for me!”

“Who is that son of a bitch who dared to touch my woman?”

“It’s him!” The woman pointed at Zach, who was walking out of the store with a bag in his hand.

The once arrogant man immediately panicked upon seeing Zach. Without any hesitation, he slapped the woman on her face, “Are you an idiot? That’s Mr. Jardin, the CEO of the Jardin Corporation.”

The woman held her cheek as her gaze widened, and immediately stopped crying.

“M-Mr. Jardin, I don’t know what this bitch did to offend you, but if you’re still upset, you can slap her too. Oh, how could I let you lay your hand on such a filthy woman? Let me help you with that,” the playboy said, desperate to suck up to Zach.

Madelyn watched the man slapping his partner again, but Zach did not even spare them a glance. Instead, he walked straight toward Madelyn and handed his bodyguard the bag.

Madelyn stood up, not wanting to hold his hand anymore, and walked ahead of Zach. After they got downstairs, Madelyn asked, “What did you do to her? Why did you hit her so hard?”

“She fell on her own.”

‘Why would there be a shoe print on her face if she fell on her own?’ Madelyn thought to herself. Madelyn could still hear the man cursing at the woman and her crying from downstairs…

However, she was already aware of how fragile the relationship between wealthy people could be.

Then, Zach brought her to the skincare and cosmetics section. He examined the ingredients of everything he bought, from foundation, eyeliner, lipstick, lotion, and face cream.

A man would be most irresistible when he stayed as attentive and gentle even after gaining wealth and power. Everything that Zach had bought was for her. In her previous life when she still loved him, she would be delighted if he took the time to go shopping with her.

But Madelyn enjoyed doing a lot of things at home instead, including cooking. To her, that was what a home should be like.

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 679

Madelyn had once felt that doing everything for someone she loved was what made her happy.

She had been mostly alone growing up. No one knew how much she had wished for a perfect family. That was why she wanted to compensate for this regret of hers by getting together with Zach in her past life.

However, what he was doing now was already too little, too late in her eyes. Zach asked, “Do you like these?”

Madelyn remained silent. She rarely brought these things with her when she went out. The salesperson beside them smiled and said, “Mr. Jardin, you have such good taste. This is the most popular lipstick color we have right now. And this is the last one left. It matches this young lady very well! It’ll look great on her.”

Zach did not know how to use women’s products. It seemed like he was unfamiliar with it as he tried to open the lid a couple of times but failed. Finally, he pinched Madelyn’s cheeks with one hand, holding the lipstick with the other hand and about to apply it to her.

The salesperson was quite puzzled, ‘ Who the hell applies lipstick like this?’

Madelyn pouted her lips. Her naturally pink lips were already very beautiful even without any lipstick, but Zach, who was extremely possessive and competitive, felt that whatever other people had, Madelyn had to have as well. And whatever others did not have, he would also offer to her.

The salesperson attentively reminded him, “Mr. Jardin, that’s not how you apply lipstick. Should I help you?”

Zach just ignored the salesperson. He then began carefully applying the lipstick on Madelyn’s attractive lips.

He even lowered his head. After a while, the salesperson grabbed a mirror and placed it in front of Madelyn. Zach pinched her chin as if he was admiring his masterpiece. Madelyn coldly asked, “Are you done looking?”

Zach smiled faintly and turned to the cashier, “Not bad. Get me all the colors. I want them all.” He took out a bank card and paid tens of thousands of dollars without blinking an eye.

When they left the mall, it was already getting dark outside. The golden light shone on the empty streets. A gentle breeze blew into their collars. Little did they know, someone had captured this scene and sent it to Yvonne.

“Yvonne, if you don’t do something, your man will leave you soon.” Yvonne was at the Young residence, looking at the photo sent by her close friend. She clutched her phone tightly, wishing she could crush it.

She thought, ‘Madelyn, I don’t care if you’re really dying. I’ll never allow you to take him away from me. He’s mine!’

Zach bought an apartment in Floral Loft. It was in the bustling part of Ventropolis, less than two miles away from Jardin Corporation. His apartment was on the top floor, the twenty-fourth floor. It also had a balcony and a swimming pool.

At the door, Zach said, “The password is your birthday. From now on, you’re the lady of this home. Go in and see if you like it.”

Upon hearing his words, Madelyn could not help but find it ironic, ‘How many homes does he have? How many ‘ladies of the home’ does he have?’

She responded, “I just want to go back to Southern Haven Villas. That’s my home.”

The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 680

Zach responded, “If you want to go back there, I’ll take you back there in the future.”

Zach entered the password before he pressed down the door handle. As soon as the door was opened, a familiar scent overwhelmed their senses. It was the perfume that Madelyn had used before. The scent was fresh and sweet. She used to put this perfume in the front passenger seat too, but it was later thrown into the trash can by Zach.

When they entered the apartment, the newly purchased furniture was all neatly arranged. The pink sofa stood out. Zach said, “We’ll have maids coming regularly to do the household chores. In the future, you can cook for me every day and wait for me to come home.”

The house was indeed decorated with a homely atmosphere. Everything was decorated according to Madelyn’s preferences. However, she did not feel happy at all. Zach continued saying, “If you want to draw, I’ve specially prepared an art room for you.”

That art room was connected to Zach’s study. There were windows that covered a significant portion of the walls, so the lighting was great. Next to it was the master bedroom.

There were originally only three rooms. Apart from the master bedroom, one had been made into Madelyn’s exclusive dressing room, and the other into Zach’s gym room.

The bedroom displayed mostly photos taken without Madelyn’s knowledge. One of them showed her wearing a black shirt lying on the bed asleep. The end of the shirt only covered her tights.

Her hands were folded under her face. She looked like she was sleeping very peacefully. Her lower body featured a pair of long, sexy legs, with round toes. Any photo taken of her was an artistic photo.

Madelyn remembered this photo. Zach forcefully took it when they were in Portsmouth Fishing Village.

Looking at all those photos of her made her feel dizzy. She asked, “Did you have someone take these photos secretly?”

Zach’s warm breath scattered over Madelyn’s neck as he hugged her from behind. His hard body part was pressing against her butt. He was trying to arouse her. Zach responded, “You don’t like them? I can have someone else take the photos again.

“Do you want to try this bed? I picked it for you.”

He had not had sex with her for three days. As he smelled the scent of her body, he could not control himself anymore. He slipped his hand inside the V-neck collar of her dress and used his other hand to remove her jacket. He then undid the thin belt around her waist. Her silky long dress then slid down.

“Zach, you’re a perverted lunatic. You’re despicable and disgusting.”

Zach pinched her face and impatiently kissed her. His heavy breathing showed his intense desire for her. When Madelyn was panting from the kisses, she had already fallen onto the soft, new bed.

Her skirt had been lifted. After the kissing, Zach unzipped his pants and removed her panties. After a while, he started the act and caused Madelyn to feel a sharp pain. She gripped the bed sheets under her as she bit her lip waiting for the pain to fade away.

In an instant, things got out of control…

Madelyn was flipped over lying on her belly. She endured the act again and again…

After doing it several times, Madelyn’s vision darkened before she fell unconscious. The collarbone on her sexy, fair back was covered with painful marks.

Madelyn did not know how long she had been asleep. When she woke up, there was only a dim light on.

She looked at the pitch-black outside the floor-to-ceiling window. Besides feeling sore, she felt like every part of her body was uncomfortable. After a while, she lifted the blanket and got out of bed.

She picked up the clothes on the floor and walked to the bathroom before immersing herself in the water and used a towel to rub herself repeatedly until the marks were no longer visible.

Upon hearing the movements, Zach walked over from the study. When he did not see anyone on the bed, he coldly squinted. His expression eased when he noticed the lights on in the bathroom. He pushed the bathroom door open and immediately saw Madelyn bathing herself in a self-torturing manner.

A splash sound was heard as Zach went forward to grab her wrist to lift her up. He could then see her perfect, naked body. Her long hair stuck to her body with water still dripping down.

He sneered, “Don’t think that I’ll let you off just because you’re trying to hurt yourself. This is just the beginning.
