“Everything I did was a joke to you! An utter joke!” Zachary’s voice had lost its usual charm. Instead, it had turned hoarse with dejection.

He sounded both sad and spiteful.

Charlotte refused to allow her heart to soften. “We could never go back to the way things used to be. It’s far too late.”

“Look at me, Charlotte.” Zachary desperately clung to his hopes for a reunion. He cupped her cheeks and forced her to meet his gaze. “Tell me you were forced and sabotaged. As long as you didn’t agree to any of this, I’ll forgive you!”

At that moment, Zachary had sunk to the lowest point of his life.

He had never begged so pitifully for a woman before, to the point of tossing aside all his pride. Nonetheless, it was a worthwhile sacrifice if he could regain her trust and love.
