All too late for his love

Willow had nearly accepted that the villa's gates would stay shut tonight. But suddenly, the grand entrance was opened The butler, Arthur, stood at the entrance, his expression impassive. "Come in."

"Thank you!" Willow exclaimed, her joy overflowing as she stumbled inside. However, her smile barely lasted two seconds before falling back into a bitter frown

"Ms. Sanford, when you see Ms. Skyler, be sure to thank her! Mr. Carter said he wouldn't allow dogs in because they bite. However, Ms. Skyler pleaded on your behalf, and he relented."

Arthur continued, "Ms. Sanford, have some decency. Don't disturb others in the middle of the night! Mr. Carter said seeing you makes him sick for days, and tonight will be no different!"

Willow heard little else Arthur said as her mind was consumed by one thought- Skyler was here. Of course, Zayn had divorced her to marry Skyler. They were so in love, how could they not live together?

With Skyler around, borrowing money from Zayn tonight would be even more difficult. Sure enough, as soon as Willow entered the living room, s Skyler.

she saw She was dressed in a sheer white silk nightgown. Skyler's figure was already alluring. The nightgown only accentuated her curvaceous form, making her appear all the more tempting Skyler warmly welcomed Willow and, playing the gracious hostess, asked her to sit.

"Lolo, what brings you here at this late hour?" Skyler nudged the fruit platter closer to Willow. "Lolo, I'm glad you're here to visit me. It's just... a bit. inconvenient this late."

Skyler coyly covered her mouth, feigning bashfulness. "I heard you were here, so I wanted to come down and see you. And, well, he's been sulking in his room, refusing to speak to me!Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Lolo, what did you need to see Zayn about? Tell me now so I can go back up and coax him out of his mood." Skyler leaned back against the sofa, her movements delicate and fragile.

Willow had no time to engage in a melodramatic sisterly act with Skyler. Her sole focus was on obtaining the million dollars as quickly as possible.

Casting a cold gaze upon Skyler, Willow demanded, "Skyler, I need to see Zayn!"

"Lolo, It's not that I don't want to help you, but Zayn refuses to see you. You saw the sign on the door. Zayn didn't even allow you to enter in the first place. Don't keep torturing yourself like this!

"Lolo, I'm Zayn's fiancée. We're getting married soon. Anything you have to say to him, you can tell me. It's the same." The chances of Zayn lending Willow money were slim, but Skyler was even less likely to do so.

Willow didn't want to waste any more time. She tilted her chin upwards and shouted upstairs, "Zayn, come out! I need to talk to you! Zayn Carter, out now!

"Lolo, stop making a fool of yourself. Zayn won't see you! Lola..."

come

Willow slammed her purse containing the fruit knife onto the om coffee table in front of her. "Zayn, in come out! I know you hate me. But as long as you come out, you can do whatever you want to me!"

She paused before continuing with steely resolve, "But if you don'? dome out, Kill Ki Skyler right now!"

Willow's mind raced as she ignored Skyler's look of shock. Quickly pulling out the fruit life, she pressed it firmly fruitlife, against Skyler's chest.
