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.

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