Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 324

Chapter 324:

After a chaotic night, Zola was left with scars on her body. She couldn’t fathom how sex could be so terrifying.

Maybe Kian had a fetish?

As Kian approached her, Zola felt a wave of panic.

“Zola, are you afraid of me?” Kian asked, placing a bowl of soup in front of her. “You’re so wonderful, and I couldn’t control myself. I won’t do it again. Please don’t be angry with me.”

Zola was still thinking about Kian’s fetish.

She knew there were people with fetishes for certain things, but she had never expected Kian to fall into that repulsive category.

Forcing a smile, she replied, “Then you must never do that again. I’m not hungry; let’s go, Mr. Walsh.”

A cold glint flashed in Kian’s eyes. “Have some soup first. I’ve arranged for Mr. Walsh to come here. You need to eat to gain the strength to discuss business with him.”

“He’s coming here?” Zola was surprised. She quickly accepted the bowl and took a few sips.

“Yes. This place is more private.” Kian stood upright, watching her. “Do you like the soup? I cooked it myself.”

Zola nodded quickly, understanding the implication of privacy. She believed Kian was probably worried that Eileen would find out and cause trouble. She quickly finished the soup and looked at Kian. “You’re very thoughtful.”

Kian took the empty bowl and turned to leave. Zola asked, “Kian, where are my clothes?”

“You don’t need them.” Kian’s fading voice reached her as he headed downstairs.

Before Zola could realize what was happening, the fake Leland entered, his gaze predatory as he moved slowly toward her.

“You… How did you get up here?” Zola asked in panic.

“Don’t you understand?” The fake Leland smirked. “Mr. Warren sent me up here, and you also invited me.”

Zola’s heart sank. She hadn’t expected Kian’s idea of ‘helping’ her to lead to this!

Did she have to sleep with Leland to secure the project?

She tried to struggle but soon realized she had no strength, even though her mind remained clear.

“Don’t waste time. I’ve been waiting for this for a long time.” The fake Leland quickly took off his clothes, revealing his obese form, causing Zola to feel a wave of nausea.

Then he crawled into Zola’s bed, pulled back the thin blanket, and forced himself on top of her.

“Get off of me! Leland Walsh, I’ll make you pay! Although I didn’t win last time, I assure you, this time I will! If you continue like this, the other shareholders of Walsh Group will notice.”

Zola suddenly screamed, tears of humiliation streaming down her face.

What added to her despair were the fake Leland’s words: “Go ahead and scream. I’m not the president of Walsh Group, just an ordinary guy. Mr. Warren brought me here because you’ve hurt his sister. You’re so beautiful, but why is your heart so cruel? Look at what he did to you, to your body. I don’t care about your filth, and you shouldn’t think I’m disgusting. Come on!”
