Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 106

Zora, scared yet unyielding, retorted, "Don't you dare look at me like that! I'm the only one here who's truly dedicated to serving you! You better not freeze me out, mister!"

Jaylan averted his gaze, slumping into the couch, a picture of weariness. His voice, slightly rough, echoed in the room, "Don't you dare overstep your bounds. I am well aware of your efforts, but I don't respond to threats."

Zora, taking a step closer to Jaylan, placed her hands on his shoulders. Seeing no resistance from him, she began to gently massage them as she continued, "I've never intended to threaten you. I know you must have other women out there..." As Zora gained confidence, she dared to broach the topic. Her words were abruptly cut off as Jaylan, who had been resting his eyes, sharply opened them, causing Zora to flinch instinctively.

"Mind your manners, woman. Don't assume that just because you're close to me, you can entertain wild fantasies. One should always know their place. I don't mistreat anyone. But if you continue to bother me, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Ha! That has to be the funniest thing I've ever heard. He's a beast, yet he claims not to mistreat anyone! Apparently, I'm not even considered human in his eyes.

Zora, undeterred by his icy words, knelt before him, attempting to wrap her arms around his neck, only to be swiftly pushed away by Jaylan, "Get back to bed, I'm exhausted!"

Ignoring his dismissal, Zora audaciously moved her hand towards his lap, "Let me... help you relax!"

Jaylan swatted her hand away once more, "Back off!"

Angered and humiliated, Zora shot up, growling, "What, you prefer tender young girls over me? Be careful, Jaylan! My sister isn't as docile as I am."

All I heard was Jaylan's cold snort, its meaning unclear. Zora's lips twitched in embarrassment. She stood there awkwardly for a while before finally turning to leave.
