Chapter 681

The blood on Madelyn’s arm had stained the bathtub. It was heart–wrenching.

Zach said, “Madelyn, do you know about Stockholm Syndrome? As long as the hostage belleves there’s no possibility of escaping, she’ll

fall in love with a criminal…”

Before he tumed sixteen, Zach engaged in many criminal activities with Hayson’s subordinates to make a living. He had witnessed a group of men being mean to a girl. Girls like her were made to work at nightclubs because they owed too much money with really high interest.

When they were severely hurt mentally and physically to the point where they broke down, they would fall in love with the abusers. Zach had seen countless examples like this…

Over the next two weeks, Zach stayed in Floral Loft. Before going to work, he would have Madelyn help him get dressed, tie his tie, and make breakfast.

In the evening, Madelyn would prepare a table full of dishes waiting for him to come home to have dinner together.

She then sat there for nearly an hour, but this feeling did not go away.

Whenever she had this feeling, something bad would happen.
