Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 23

"What are you doing?" Sunny was furious as she rushed over to the pair. She looked like a dragon who was about to spit fire.

Hanson let go of the woman in his arms. Although he was startled, he didn't look the slightest bit guilty. He knew for a fact that Sunny had always been obsessed with him. In fact, she was the one who had brought up the wedding. "Why are you here?"

"How could I not?" she snapped. A part of her wished that she could tear Essie down with her own bare hands.

Having no intention to argue with Sunny, Essie turned. "I'm going in." However, just as she was about to leave, Sunny caught her wrist. Turning her around, she slapped the woman hard on the face.

There was no way she was going to let the woman go! Especially after trying to seduce her husband! Sunny clenched her jaw as malicious thoughts filled her mind.

In the black Bentley, Zac glowered. His fists cracked at the sight, tearing through the dull silence in the car. Although Essie deserved a lesson, he was the only one allowed to touch her or to even lecture her over what she had done. If anyone dared to hurt her, then they were about to face death himself.

Zac was about to open the door, but he stopped himself when Essie raised her hand and slapped the woman back without fear.

Tears streamed down Sunny's face from the startling pain. She stumbled back. "Essie, how dare you?" It was the first time she had ever been slapped.

Essie snorted, "You may be rich and powerful, but the last thing I'll be is afraid of you! From now on, I'll repay you twice as hard for everything that you've done to me."

"You bitch!" Sunny raised her arm and was about to strike her, but Hanson held her back. "That's enough!" he roared.

"Didn't you see that she just slapped me?" Flushed red, she wanted to shake off his hold, only to find that he was too strong. "You were the one who hit her first," he said coldly, glancing apologetically at the woman in front of them.

"I have to go." Essie had taken this chance to leave. It seemed that Sunny would always be a thorn on her side whenever she was with Hanson. If she ever got close to him, she would do everything to stab her back. A part of her wondered if it was worth it.

Seeing her leave, Hanson finally released the woman. Pissed off, Sunny stomped on the gravel. "I forbid you to see her again!" she shrieked out.

"Even if you forbid me to see her, do you honestly think you're the only woman in my life?" he said lightly. She gritted her teeth. "What do you mean?"
