Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort novel Chapter 1218

“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.

Charlotte’s eyes welled with tears as she took in his bloodshot eyes.

She had never seen him in such anguish, and she could not help but sympathize with him.

Regret and hatred filled her soul, urging her to confess that she had not voluntarily agreed to this marriage, that she had no idea what had happened.

“Talk to me!” Zachary bellowed impatiently. He needed to hear the words from her own mouth.

I’ll believe anything she says.

“I-I-” Charlotte was about to say something when Zachary stiffened at the sight of the bruises along her neck and collarbone.

He tore apart her blouse viciously, and his world came crashing down the moment he saw the hickeys littered on her chest.

Charlotte followed his gaze and froze, realizing that she had no way of explaining herself now.

“Charlotte! Y-You! How could you do this to me? Why would you?” Zachary was going mad with rage.

He suddenly punched a fist forward, causing Charlotte to close her eyes and wince subconsciously.
