Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 54

When he left, Essie waited for a bit to make sure he was out of sight before she took out the bank card hidden in the suitcase.

This was the bank card her real father gave her so she would have some ready money she could use if she ever needed it for something. Lucy had handed it to her before she came home.

Since Essie was saving this bank card only for emergencies, she never really checked how much was in there and she didn’t even ask. She just needed enough so she could pay for the down payment herself to save Zac from all the trouble.

If she didn’t need it this much, she wouldn’t even think about touching the bank card. All she wanted was to give it back to him by the time she finally became successful.

She stopped and hesitated for a bit, but knowing this was an emergency, she just had to borrow the money. After all, she focused on getting Zac out of the trap he had fallen into.

With the bank card in her purse, she finally made her way to Jade Pearl Pub, where Zac said he would be hanging out with a friend. She was determined to take him by surprise. "I will make this right," she uttered to herself, trying to build up some confidence.

Jade Pearl Pub was one of the most special nightclubs in Yang City. It seemed kind of exclusive since it gave the impression that most rich people frequented this pub.

Loud music and vivid lights welcomed her even before she stepped inside. She had a hard time searching for Zac since there was a sea of people dancing and roaming in the halls, while some just stayed in their booths. As though she felt his presence, she finally found Zac and that rich woman in a dim corner.

Seeing them together, Essie then walked towards the DJ stage. His eyes were fixed on the turntable as he played some beats, and his other hand clasped his headphones on his ears. She waved her hands near his face so he could notice her despite the loud music. "Can you help me? I need to confess my love for someone in this room. I need to borrow the stage for a while. This won’t take long. I hope!" She then handed the DJ two thousand dollars as a way of thanking him for the favor.

Since the DJ felt amused by the thought, he went along with it and slowly turned the music down. The halls became quiet and her face suddenly flashed on the big screen.

"Hey! Zac! Hey—!" she shouted three times, trying to buy herself time so she could find the words to say. "It’s me. Look at the big screen."

From the corner where Zac was sitting, he heard her voice. Surprised, he stood up so he could see her face on the big screen.

"What—? What’s happening?

What’s she doing here?"

Stunned, he scratched his head in curiosity. Essie’s voice sounded again, "Zac, listen. I’ve been taking care of you all this time. I don’t care if I have to pay for everything you need, because I can and I will." She reached for the bank card in her purse, held it high, and added, "See? I’ll pay for everything. I don’t care. I’ll get you out of every mess you face because you’re my husband. You’re mine and mine alone." Her face turned red like wine from speaking in front of so many strangers. Despite mustering so much courage she didn’t know she had, her whole body shivered in embarrassment. However, she also felt relieved that it’s over.
