The Heiress's Second Chance At Vengeance (Eliza) novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16 The Engagement Nobody Knew About

Zayden rarely lost his temper–but every time he did, it was because of Naomi.

Eliza’s eyes darkened where she sat

She knew it. Zayden was definitely here to throw a fit.

“Zayden, this is Class Six. Not the place for you to play the hero.”

Henry set his fork down. The rest of the class stared at Zayden with open hostility.

Class One students were notorious for thinking too highly of themselves and looking down on the others.

Zayden was the poster child for that.

“I wasn’t talking to any of you.”

Zayden’s voice was cold. He walked straight over to Eliza and yanked her out of her seat.

“You’re coming with me.”

His tone left no room for argument.

Eliza said nothing.

In her past life, she’d given Zayden too much leeway.

Whatever he did, she’d always put up with it without a word.

But now? She wasn’t going to be that stupid again.

Zayden. I’m not in Class One anymore. If you’ve got something to say, just say it here.”

Zayden’s eyes grew colder when he saw her calmly pull her hand away from his.

“Eliza, getting moved to Class Six gave you an attitude, huh?”

Think what you want

Eliza met his gaze without flinching. This isn’t Class One. I don’t have to follow your orders.”

“Because I’m your fance! You’re the future daughter–in–law of the Holt family. If I tell you to come outside, then you come outside

The room fell silent.

Even people outside the classroom froze when they heard that.

Zayden has a fiamere?

And it’s Elizar

Nolan’s eyes darkened.

Eliza, on the other hand, found it laughable.

Zayden had never acknowledged their engagement before. In fact, he’d warned her never to mention it at school, afraid it would embarrass him.

And now here he was, blurting it out like it was no big deal

“Zayden, what century do you think this is? It was just an arrangement. It can be called off any time. Don’t talk to me like you own me—I’m not your property”

Chapter 16 The Engagement Nobody Knew About

Zayden felt a flash of anger rise in his chest.

He knew that line all too well.

He’d said almost the exact same thing back when Eliza used to trail behind him like a shadow.

Now the roles were reversed.

Eliza was the one denying the engagement.

“Eliza, do you even realize what you’re doing?”

So I’m supposed to just take it and keep quiet?”

He’d known her since they were kids and had never seen her look at him like that,

Back then, even when she was wronged, she’d smile and brush it off like it didn’t matter.

No one wants to be treated like that forever.

Zayden, here’s a heads–up, you’re the class president, right? Then keep your classmates in check. Don’t let them mess with me again. Next time… it woul end this simply.”
