The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 604

"You have an appointment with Miss Young today at noon. Then, a charity event at six in the evening. Also, don't forget the important banquet in Paris in five days. Your invitation is already in the CEO's office."

Kevin, Cecilia, and Zach left the elevator after reaching the ninety-ninth floor. Kevin headed to the assistant's office as Cecilia and Zach moved to the CEO's office. Over the years, Cecilia's support had been crucial in Zach's ascent to power. Now, with the Arnold family out of the picture, he commanded Ventropolis. Cecilia made a cup of coffee and placed it in front of him. She pressed a button, and the office doors closed. Then, she sat on his lap without hesitation.

"I've been there for every win. It's time for you to hold up your end, don't you think?" Cecilia's hand moved with purpose across his chest, her touch light but insistent.

Zach met her gaze, his face a blank slate. "You seem to have too much time on your hands." His eyes held a chill, a subtle irritation flickering and then gone. He did not move from her touch.

"The situation is changing, Zach. We're ascending. Follow my lead, and the world is yours. Four years, Zach. Four years of unwavering support. I stand unmatched, the only one worthy to be at your side."

Zach knew it was true. A lot of his success was thanks to Cecilia. From the day she showed up, she acted like she knew everything about him. It was as if she was directing his life, ensuring everything happened just right.

"You've been helping me all this time, Ms. Samford, just to become Mrs. Jardin? You really think I'd believe that's all you want?" Zach bent closer, gently lifting her chin to look at her eyes. He saw the bright red of her lips.

"Of course..." Cecilia, her arms around his neck, whispered. "It's to fix the mistakes from our past life. Now, I'm not just here to help you, Zach. I'm meant to be with you, as your wife."
