The Heiress's Second Chance At Vengeance (Eliza) novel Chapter 25

“Come down.”

“Nope.”

Then I’m coming up.”

Eliza stayed quiet, took a deep breath, and then hung up on Zayden.

Zayden’s words were almost laughable to her. Does he really think that’ll scare me?

Honestly, she still couldn’t understand how she ever fell for him.

A few minutes passed. The flashlight outside her window finally disappeared.

She thought he’d finally left… until she heard heavy footsteps outside her door.

Then BAM! The door flew open.

Eliza froze

Zayden walked right in without saying a word and dropped himself onto the bed she had just finished making.

“Zayden! That’s my bed!” she snapped, face darkening

He didn’t move. Didn’t say a word.

“Keep this up, and I’ll call the dorm supervisor.”

Eliza figured someone like Zayden–a straight–A, rule–following type–would care about his reputation with the teachers.

But still, he didn’t budge

Fed up, she walked over and tried to pull him off the bed.

But he grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.

Eliza gasped, stunned.

His chest was warm–probably from running all the way up here. His breathing was heavy, his grip tighter than she expected.

“Zayden, what the hell is wrong with you? Let me go!”

She pushed against him, trying to break free, but he wouldn’t let go.

He held her tightly. His voice was low, almost broken. “Do you really hate me that much?”

The question made her freeze.

Hate him? Not even close. In her previous life, she’d poured every bit of herself into Joving Zayden.

The day she chose to marry him, she stood up to her parents for the first time in her life.

It took all the courage she had

And what did she get in return? Betrayal.

Thinking of how things ended between them, her voice turned cold, detached. “Zayden, I’m saying this one last time. Let me

Maybe he finally heard the distance in her voice, because this time, he let her go.

The silence between them stretched before he finally spoke again. “I told my mom I wanted to call off the engagement. She

said no.

Chapter 25 Breaking Points

Eliza gave a dry laugh.

Of course. He wouldn’t have come to her for no reason. He must’ve lost it after hearing she was with Nolan and went straight to Grace, asking for the engagement to be broken off–only to get shut down.

“So what is this? You came here just to vent? Or are you hoping I’ll step in and talk to your mom about breaking off the engagement for you?”

That’s how it always was in her past life. The only person he ever treated gently was Naomi.

Whenever he was upset, he wouldn’t bother Naomi. Instead, he’d wander off alone and vent to the trees behind the school, venting about how Grace always controlled his life.

“This isn’t something I can fix overnight. When the time’s right, I’ll talk to her again.”

Eliza raised an eyebrow. “Naomi’s obsessed with you. If you told Madam Grace you wanted to marry her instead, she’d be thrilled.”

That’s how it went in her last life too. After breaking off their engagement, Zayden chose Naomi, and Grace fully approved.

In the end, it was always about what worked for them.

She used to follow him around, anxious and hopeful, just waiting for him to finally see her.
