Third person POV
Zane didn’t wait for Amelia to react. He grabbed her and marched straight to the elevator, heading for the parking garage.
Humiliated in front of everyone. Amelia was stunned. “What did I even say wrong? Go look for yourself! Elara’s lipstick today is the exact same
shade as Gavin’s!”
But it wasn’t just the lipstick.
Everything about Gavin and Elara felt off.
Siblings?
Only these oblivious men would buy that.
Since when does a sister’s ears turn bright red in her brother’s apartment?
“Enough!” Zane was sick of her constantly throwing accusations at Elara. He shoved her hard against the car, his words grinding out through clenched teeth. “You insisted on coming today, and I let you. Now you can get the hell out.”
“Zane, do you really hate me this much now?”
Yesterday, Zane had just thrown a divorce certificate in her face, telling her he and Elara were done.
But she was afraid he was lying. She came today to see for herself what was really going on between Elara and Zane.
Hate her? Zane was way past that. He yanked the car door open, shoved her inside, and barked at the driver, “Take her back. Now.”
Amelia, unable to push the door back open, rolled down the window and grabbed his sleeve. “When will you go with me to get the marriage
license?”
He shook her hand off, brushing his sleeve as if it were dirty. “I already had someone handle it. The marriage certificate will be delivered
tomorrow.”
“Zane…” Amelia caught on fast, her voice tight. “You’re lying to me, aren’t you? The divorce certificate was fake, right?”
If he’d gotten a real divorce, fine. But a marriage license? Taking her to get it for real would be simpler and easier than having “someone handle
it.”
It could only mean he was playing her. He was blowing smoke.
But he’d forgotten–she wasn’t as easily fooled as Elara!
A glacial coldness flashed in Zane’s eyes, as if he’d been provoked. He ripped the car door back open, his hand clamping around her neck like a vise. “Amelia, don’t fucking take my kindness for weakness.”
“The fact that I’m even willing to lie to you is a mercy you should be grateful for. Since you’re forcing my hand…”
His patience had officially run out.
His eyes narrowed. Ignoring her struggles, he looked at the driver through the rearview mirror. “Lock her back in the villa in the suburbs. Cut
off the water. Cut off the food.”

Chapter 166
Amelia’s eyes widened in shock and horror. “What are you trying to do…7”
“You’re so clever, figure it out yourself”
Zane released her neck, his right hand gently patting her cheek. The motion seemed almost tender, but his voice was venomous, like Satan
himself
“I don’t have the energy to play games with you anymore. You’ll stay in that basement and think long and hard about whether you’re going to
Tell me where Jess is”
“No food or water… the human limit is about seven days, right? If you haven’t figured it out in those seven days… just die.”
He said the last two words almost in a whisper.
A wave of goosebumps erupted all over Amelia’s skin!
True fear dawned in her eyes. For the first time, she truly realized the man in front of her might be even more terrifying than the notoriously
ruthless Gavin!
Amelia began to tremble uncontrollably. “If I die, aren’t you afraid you’ll never find her?”
“Amelia, this is the second time you’ve threatened me.”
Zane pinched her chin and smiled faintly. “Tell me, what would make your death more painful? How about I let a few big Dobermans into the basement to keep you company?”
“NO!!” Amelia instantly broke, sobbing. “I–I’ll talk! Will you let me go if I tell you?”
Zane’s tone was gentle. “Of course.”
“Really?”
