The Doormat Wife’s Ultimate Glow-Up novel Chapter 103

Reese’s heart was pounding so hard it felt like it might explode. She gripped her seatbelt with both hands, her knuckles turning white.

“Zach, stop the car!” Finally, her voice cracked with fear.

Zach just pressed the gas harder. The car flew down the road, tires slicing through puddles and sending water spraying everywhere.

Reese’s breathing turned quick and shallow. She stared out the windshield, certain that any second now, something was going to jump out in front of them.

With a screech, the brakes kicked in.

The car skidded across the wet road for several feet before jerking to a stop. Reese lurched forward, only for the seatbelt to slam her back into the seat, digging painfully into her shoulder.

She scrambled to unlock the door, desperate to get out, but before she could, a big hand wrapped around her wrist.

“Who said you could leave?”

Zach leaned over her, his tall frame blocking out everything else. His breath was hot against her ear, thick with the smell of rain.

Suddenly, memories from seven years ago crashed into her. Sebastian dragging her into a room, the rough hands, the humiliation. Her whole body went cold. She couldn’t stop shaking.

Zach looked down at her, curled up in the seat and trembling, and his eyes flashed with anger. “Reese, are you scared of me?”

She squeezed her eyes shut, refusing to look at him.

Ever since that night, any kind of touch from a man sent her spiraling back to that same desperate helplessness.

Zach’s tone grew even harsher. “What are you shaking for? You think I actually want to touch you? Please. I wouldn’t risk catching something from you.”

He leaned across her, yanked the door open, and snapped, “Get out!”

Reese almost fell out of the car.

The rain hit her instantly, soaking her all the way through. Cold water ran down her hair and into her clothes, and the wind whipped around her, making her shiver so hard her teeth chattered.

She looked up in time to watch Zach drive away, his taillights disappearing into the downpour.
