Three days later, Wendy stood outside the hotel suite door and knocked on it several times.
"Zachary, are you in there?"
There was no reply.
Wendy frowned and then pulled out her phone to dial his number.
The phone rang for a long time before it eventually went to voicemail.
Since they returned from Uriah's place that day, she had completely lost contact with Zachary.
He didn't reply to her messages and never answered her calls. Now, he wouldn't even open the door for her.
She had checked with the hotel receptionist and they had confirmed that Zachary hadn't checked out.
She pounded on the door with her fist and yelled, "Zachary, open this door immediately! If you don't, I'll keep knocking until you do!"
Wendy continued to knock for a solid ten minutes before the door finally opened.
The smell of cigarettes and alcohol immediately washed over her, making her gag involuntarily.
"What is that awful smell?" Wendy pinched her nose and grimaced.
She looked at Zachary then and noticed his sunken eyes, unshaven and greasy face, as well as the overpowering stench of smoke and alcohol clinging to him. It seemed like he hadn't showered in days.
Suppressing the need to gag, Wendy asked, "What happened to you?"
Zachary's eyes were dull and lifeless. He asked, "What do you want?"
"I haven't been able to contact you for days, so I got worried." Wendy pushed the door open and walked inside the room.
The curtains were tightly shut, and the lights were turned off. Despite the daylight outside, the room was pitch black.
Wendy frowned as she reached to turn on the lights.
The spacious suite had empty alcohol bottles scattered all across the living room, and the ashtray on the table was overflowing with cigarette butts, with ash scattered everywhere.
Wendy turned on the ventilation system, then drew the curtains and opened the window to let in some fresh air.

Oh my god, when is this book finishing... they're not even back together yet and more nonsense side plots.....
Whoa! Hahahahahaha! Go, Sophia! Burn, stupid Rowena! Lol...
Sooo~ Chapters 310-318 were just a repeat of Jacqueline’s punishment, official expulsion from the Jacobson family, and arrest. With few changes since Tessa and Stephen are not together this time. So Tessa didn’t witness how Jacqueline was tortured at Stephen’s base, though at least Tessa was still called over and witnessed how Stephen officially expelled Jacqueline from the Jacobson family and how Stephen’s subordinate made Jacqueline grovel in front of Tessa. Lol. I hope Jacqueline’s really out of the story now....
Also a lot of chapters were missing here. I went back to the application where it was originally published that’s why i know that this site is not reliable...
Fucked up book! Seems like the authors were not talking to each other. LOL. Yes authors, because of the inconsistencies....
The story went downhill after pg200 1. Why is Jacqueline back… she was expelled from the family already 2. There was no reason for Rowena to be mad at Tessa 3. The Jacobson already knows that Stephen wants to get back witb Tessa after they deal with James, so why is Rowena pushing hard? LOL 4. The family also knows that Stephen and Nancy have some sort of deal. The story was okay from page 1-199, but clearly it’s a thumbs down. I can deal with grammatical errors, but story errors is just different now....
This is funny! Jacqueline was also the culprit why James knew that nancy was Stephen's cousin. So, really, what happened when steohen tortured jacqueline hahah...
I wonder how many authors does this book have? Suddenly jacqueline was back and continue to bad mouth tessa. And was stunned that tessa knows her feelings about stephen. And then rowena was freaking mad at tessa too; because there werw multiple instances that tessa sharp-tongued her. 🤣...
What is wrong with the story flow? At chapter 160-164 there’s this whole thing about Stephen revealing in front of all the Jacobsons family members about Jacqueline’s inappropriate feelings towards him and her involvement in murder. There’s even this “Just like that, Jacqueline was officially expelled from the Jacobson family. Stephen then promptly handed her to the authorities.” So I was already glad the bitch is out of the picture. And then suddenly at chapter 236, Jacqueline appears again like nothing happened, still being the adoptive daughter of the Jacobson family and the family being unaware of her feelings for Stephen. Seriously? Doesn’t make sense anymore....
The latest update is just a repetition of the previous chapters...
