Chapter 18 After more than a month apart, Zachary had lost a lot of weight. His jawline was even more pronounced, and his once lifeless eyes only lit up when he saw Camila. "Cami, I finally found you." His voice was hoarse and weary, but the way he looked at her was burning with intensity. "I missed you so much. Didn't you miss me at all?" "I really didn't miss you." Camila's tone was distant as she raised her hand to push him away. "Let go!" Her cold gaze was like a knife, stabbing hard into Zachary's chest. His jaw tightened, veins bulging, as he stubbornly held her hand. "Cami, come back with me." "Go back?" Camila sneered. "Go back to watch you favor Mollina, love her, and marry her?" "I don't love Mollina!" He gripped her hand tighter, his eyes reddening. "The one I love is you!" Camila was momentarily stunned, but her gaze toward him remained skeptical. Zachary closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and continued speaking. "Mollina once saved my life, so I cared for her out of gratitude, but that's all it ever was. Repaying a debt doesn't mean I like her." "Besides, she's a fraud. The trouble at the detention center was her doing. I arranged everything to send you there be- cause I didn't want your parents to keep hurting you, but I never expected her to bribe people in my name to harm you." "I've explained everything clearly in my voice messages..." He took out his phone and played the voice messages, explaining every word, as if he was laying his heart bare for her to see. "Don't worry, I've already exposed that imposter and made her pay a heavy price. As for your parents who hurt you, I've made them regret it deeply. From now on, no one will dare to bully you again..." But after listening, Camila only responded indifferently, "So what?" Zachary was taken aback. "So, come back with me." He gazed at her deeply. "I love you, Cami." 0.0 % 09:05 Camila smiled. Her faint smile was like a dagger, stabbing deep into his heart. "There's no going back, Zachary." She spoke softly, "When I liked you, you couldn't even say you liked me. But now, I don't like you anymore, and I don't need your love either." "So, just go. Let's pretend we never met today." Zachary's fingers clenched so tightly they turned white, his voice trembling. "Cami, I know you're still angry, but don't be so stubborn just because you're upset, okay?" "Stubborn? Upset?" Camila let out a soft laugh, her eyes cold and indifferent. "Even now, you're still so set in your ways, Zachary. It seems you and I were never meant to be..." I won't allow you to say that!" Zachary's eyes were bloodshot. After suppressing his emotions for so long, he finally lost control. He pulled Camila into his arms with force, as if he wanted to merge her into his very bones and blood. "Zachary, let me go!" Camila struggled in pain, kicking and punching him, but she couldn't shake him at all. "Camila, you must come back with me!" Zachary's tone was commanding. "You are my only wife, and I will never let you leave me!..." But before he could finish, a fierce fist cut through the air and struck him hard. Zachary crashed into the wall, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, as he watched helplessly while Camila was embraced by a strange man! In that moment, he couldn't even feel the pain.
