When Love Breaks Novel Josephine And Zayne

Chapter 243

No, Zayn had been gentle to her on that night.

He might have been domineering, sharp, controlling, and confident-but when it came to her, he was always gentle.

That was exactly why she had fallen for him.

She had thought she had finally found someone who truly admired and loved her.

But now, the man standing before her felt like a stranger.

How could someone who had schemed against her, used her, and hurt her possibly love her?

At 23, she felt it was time to wake up from the fairytale illusions of love. From now on, she had to learn to face this cruel reality alone.

"Zayn, at the very least, we shared three memorable years together. Please don't ruin those beautiful memories with a cheap breakup and turn them into something meaningless, okay?"

"Let's end this with dignity and go our separate ways," she said.

Zayn's breath hitched. That suffocating sense of losing control washed over him once again.
