When Love Breaks Novel Josephine And Zayne

Chapter 262

Zayn's head pounded violently as his phone jolted him awake.

He had downed over a dozen bottles of beer the night before. It was a miracle he hadn't ended up in the hospital.

He reached for his ringing phone and glanced at the caller ID. When he saw Joe's name, he let out a cold chuckle. Then, he tossed the phone back onto the table.

Something felt off. Normally, Joe would give up after a few unanswered calls. But today, he called relentlessly.

Zayn finally picked up when he was irritated beyond measure.

"Say whatever the hell you need to say. Make it quick," Zayn snapped.

At this point, he had no respect for Joe. Joe had never shown him an ounce of kindness either.

Zayn was the legitimate son of Joe's wife, Teresa. By all rights, he should have enjoyed the best treatment within the family. It was all because Teresa wasn't Joe's true love.

Joe had always loved another woman. Family pressure had forced him into marriage with someone of similar social background.
