When Love Breaks Novel Josephine And Zayne

Chapter 1

"Mason, I'll be returning to Hillwood in a month."

Josephine Dunn dialed a number she hadn't called in a long time.

Mason Lockwood, who was on the other end of the call, exclaimed in excitement, "Ms. Dunn, you're finally coming back. We've been waiting for you for three years. I'll have a private jet pick you up when the time comes." As Josephine ended the call, Zayn Forbes, walked over to the bow of the yacht. He slipped off his jacket and gently draped it over her shoulder.

"What are you doing out here alone? The wind is too strong; you'll catch a cold."

Josephine turned to him with a faint smile. "I'm just getting some air to clear my head."

"Alright. I'll have the housekeepers prepare dinner for you," Zayn replied, before heading back inside the yacht.

Everyone in the industry knew that Zayn was infatuated with Josephine.

If she caught a cold, he would find the top ten specialists in the country to treat her back to health.

There was even an instance where Josephine tried a dessert at a bakery and casually said it was delicious. Without hesitation, Zayn bought the entire bakery for her.

This time was no different. A few days ago, Josephine had merely glanced at a photo of this yacht on her phone. The moment Zayn found out, he spared no expense and rented it for a whole month solely for her enjoyment. Just then, her phone buzzed with a news alert. She unlocked the screen and clicked on the article.

It read, "Zayn Forbes, CEO of Forbes Group, spent millions to rent a yacht for an entire month, simply because his wife likes yachts."

The article was flooded with heated discussions.

One comment read, "As a fellow woman, I can't help but envy Mrs. Forbes. Her husband is not only handsome and rich, but he absolutely adores her."

"Mr. Forbes deserves every penny of his fortune. After all, a man who knows how to cherish his wife is priceless."

"Did you know? Mr. Forbes was publicly voted as the 'model husband.""

"If I had a husband like Mr. Forbes, I'd happily trade 20 years of my life."

Reading through these comments, Josephine couldn't help but feel a tightness in her chest.

She used to be the world's most popular director, JD. But three years ago, she backed out from the industry and married Zayn.

Their marriage had initially started out as a mere contractual agreement that was set to end after three years. However, both of them eventually developed feelings for each other along the way.
