301 Chapter 301 Where Everyone

Can Watch

Blanche’s POVO

Zain’s gentle words took some of the edge off my fury.

His fingers wrapped around my hand, but I refused to turn back and face him.

After releasing a long breath, I said, “She dug this hole herself, so she can climb out of it alone. We don’t owe her anything. Even if you rescue her this time, what happens when she screws up again? You planning to play her personal bodyguard forever?”

With that, I jerked my hand free from Zain’s hold.

I didn’t waste another word on him–just pushed open

the car door and climbed out.

Zain scrambled after me.

When he saw me about to walk off, he lunged forward and caught me with a steel grip, hauling me straight back.

Zain was built like a brick wall–with barely any effort, he had me pressed against the car.

He towered above me, his shadow falling over me right

there for everyone to see.

I fought against him a few times, but I couldn’t move Zain an inch.

Finally, I gave up struggling.

I tilted my face up to his, my voice razor–sharp with fury as I glared at him. “Zain, let me go.”

Zain’s large hand clamped tight around my waist–my coat did nothing to conceal my curves, every line visible under his grip.

I was pinned back against the car, the harsh sunlight burning my eyes until they watered and tears gathered at the corners.

Zain leaned closer, his stare boring into me. “Get in the car.”

I clamped my lips shut, staying quiet and motionless.

Right then, I felt like prey caught in a trap–completely helpless, with no way to escape.

When he saw me stay silent, Zain moved in even closer, his mouth so close it nearly brushed my cheek.

Uncomfortable, I turned my face away, refusing to

look at him.

Seeing me pull back from him, Zain felt something twist painfully in his chest.

But then, Zain leaned in and whispered in a rough, unmistakably dangerous voice, “If you don’t get inside, I’ll kiss you right here where everyone can watch.”

His breath was scorching against my face–I could feel every word burning my skin.

He was way too close, so close I could hear his heartbeat if I focused.

And I knew Zain–when he made a threat, he followed through.

I had no choice but to surrender. I mumbled, “Then let me go first.”

Zain’s mouth curved into a satisfied smirk.

After what felt like forever, he slowly loosened his hold

301 Chapter 301 Where Everyone Can Watch

and released me.

The second I straightened up, Zain had already pulled open the passenger door for me, silently commanding me to get in with a gesture.

Once I was seated, Zain leaned over without warning and carefully clicked my seatbelt into place.

After securing it, he stayed bent over, his eyes locking with mine at close range. With a soft, indulgent tone, he said, “That’s my good girl.”

As he praised me, his hand moved up to gently stroke my cheek.

I shut my eyes, then pulled my face away from his

touch.

Seeing this, Zain’s fingers tensed slightly.

He dropped his hand, letting out a harsh laugh.

Without another word, Zain walked around the car and slid into the driver’s seat.

As we drove away, it suddenly hit me–my grad school exam was just around the corner, only two days out.

With all the drama involving Zain, Carry, and Amara,

I’d been feeling completely drained lately.

The test was approaching fast, so I figured I should try to cram in some last–minute studying.

With that thought, I turned to Zain and said, “Can you drop me off at the library?”

Zain gave me a puzzled look. “What, you’re not coming

to the office with me?”

I answered evenly, “I still need to study for my grad

school exam.”

Zain’s brow furrowed, sounding genuinely confused.

“You don’t want to be Mrs. Jacob?”

I kept my voice steady, reflecting on everything. “No, I was miserable. I’m not making that mistake again.”

Zain caught the pain in my tone and didn’t press the issue.

After a beat, Zain suggested, “I’ll have your books delivered to the office. Why don’t you study in my office? There’s a private lounge if you need to rest.”

I wanted to say no, but before I could speak, Zain had already called Desmond and arranged everything.

Soon, our car pulled up outside Jacob Group.

Zain got out and, in his typical thoughtful way, walked around to open my door.

He extended his hand–I hesitated for a heartbeat, but eventually let him take my hand and help me out of the car.

At the building entrance, several employees and passersby noticed Zain’s gentlemanly behavior, their curious eyes following us.

Everyone started murmuring and speculating the moment they spotted us.

“Wait, who’s that woman with him?”

“Hold on, am I hallucinating or did Mr. Jacob just arrive

with someone new?”

“Is that supposed to be Ms. Vins? She looks nothing like her…”

“Damn, Mr. Jacob’s actually holding her hand and helping her out!”

301 Chapter 301 Where Everyone Can Watch

“Seriously, is it just me or do they seem way too close? Does Ms. Vins have any idea?”

As soon as Zain took my hand and walked into the lobby, all the chatter stopped dead.

But as I stepped inside, everyone was staring, their gazes heavy with different emotions.

Some looked confused, some couldn’t hide their jealousy, and others just seemed bored.

Zain made no attempt to hide anything–he wasn’t letting go of my hand, not for a second.

Even when we entered the private elevator together, Zain kept my hand locked in his—no sign of releasing

1. me.

He studied our blurred reflections on the polished elevator wall, his jaw tight with tension.

I tried to slip my hand free, but when Zain wouldn’t ease his grip, I could only watch his reflection, my gaze tracing his outline on the wall.

“Zain, can you let go of me? Just for a second?”

I said, my voice carrying a nervous edge.

Zain turned to me, looming over me as he noticed my flushed cheeks. A wicked smile played on his lips and he teased in a low voice, “Call me ‘hubby‘ and maybe I’ll let go.”

I frowned, lifting my face to his. “Ridiculous.”

Seeing how little I cared, Zain felt a sudden, sharp

ache in his chest.

There was a time when the smallest frown from him would have me chasing after him, refusing to back down until I got answers.

But now, even if he told me he liked me, loved me–I wouldn’t believe him, and all that was left between us was my icy indifference.

Zain stopped teasing me–he simply released my hand.

When the elevator stopped, Zain stepped out first. He held the door for me, motioning for me to exit.

He only let go of my hand after I stepped out, lingering a moment before releasing me.

The CEO’s office was enormous–I rarely entered this

space.

And even on the few times I did, Zain wasn’t exactly

friendly.

Desmond had already arranged all the books I’d need, stacked neatly on Zain’s desk.

Zain walked over, gathered up the books, and handed them to me. “Come on, I’ll show you the lounge.”

Since the office was always buzzing with people coming and going, I thought I’d have an easier time concentrating in the lounge.

Zain guided me directly to the lounge.

He looked like he had business to handle–after getting me settled, he left without saying anything.

I didn’t bother asking about it. I just found a spot and got comfortable.

I needed a pen to study, but realized I’d forgotten to bring one. So I started searching through the drawers.

While digging around, I accidentally discovered a few

condoms.

No packaging, nothing fancy–just lying loose in the

301 Chapter 301 Where Everyone Can Watch

drawer like someone couldn’t be bothered.

Well, looks like someone’s been busy… and these are just the leftovers, I thought, feeling both annoyed and embarrassed.

I slammed the drawer shut quickly, telling myself, ‘Yeah, definitely not searching through there again.

After an hour bent over my textbooks, my head was pounding and my vision was getting fuzzy.

I collapsed onto the couch and decided to take a

break.

I hadn’t meant to, but before I knew it, I’d fallen asleep.

Suddenly, Zain’s angry roar erupted from outside the door-“Get out!”

I jolted awake, completely startled by his shout.

I barely had time to open my eyes before Zain came storming into the lounge.

I looked up his handsome face was black as a storm

cloud.

301 Chapter 301 Where Everyone Can Watch

I had no idea what was happening, but honestly, he

looked terrifying right now.
