Chapter 6%
Gabriel had spent an entire year pleading with Zachary to approve his marriage to Ellie. He knew all too well that a single misstep could make Zachary furious enough to kick them both out on the spot.
Ellie, terrified at the thought of losing her chance to marry into a wealthy family, was equally on edge. She hurriedly approached Zachary, her voice dripping with eagerness to please.”
“Uncle, you don’t know the half of it. That woman, Nora, stole the wedding dress you personally designed. She even had someone forge The Prince Family’s heirloom necklace to trick everyone, all so she could marry Gabe and live as a rich lady. Gabe and I were just standing up for you!“”
Gabriel’s expression darkened for a moment, a flicker of blame and resentment flashing in his eyes as if chastising Ellie for talking too much. Ellie immediately realized her mistake and stepped aside, falling silent.
But the next moment, she was yanked off the ground, her throat gripped tightly as her body dangled in the air.
Zachary’s voice trembled with fury as he demanded, “Who did you say is in that room?“%
None of them had ever seen Zachary this enraged before. A cold sweat broke out across Gabriel’s back as panic overtook him. Yet he didn’t dare touch Zachary’s hand to free Ellie./
Instead, he scrambled toward the dressing room, quickly twisting the doorknob to open it for Zachary to confront the situation himself.
“Uncle, please don’t be angry. I’ve already had them deal with Nora properly.”
Gabriel assumed Zachary was angry because the wedding dress he had personally designed and the family heirloom
necklace had been stolen.”
At that moment, he was smugly thinking that today he had done a great service to Zachary, hoping this would secure his approval for the overseas trade project he had been pushing for. If he succeeded, he’d finally gain some standing in the Prince Family and maybe, just maybe, the inheritance rights would be handed to him one day.%
Just as a smug smile spread across Gabriel’s face, he was suddenly kicked hard, sent tumbling across the floor and rolling three times before finally coming to a stop. A large bump instantly formed on his forehead.
“You fucking idiot!” Zachary shouted, his voice full of rage.”
Without hesitation, he rushed toward me, kicking away the men standing near me with a swift motion. He then caught me in his arms, swiftly removing his suit jacket to cover me.”
Zachary stood there helplessly, staring at the wounds on my face, his hand hovering over me but unsure if touching me would cause more pain.
Finally, his voice cracked as he choked out, “Nora… Nora, are you okay?”
I grabbed his wrist with a cold, unfeeling gaze, my eyes sweeping over the people around us with a chilling intensity.
I spoke with a firmness that sent a shiver through the room, “Go to hell, Gabriel. I want them all to die.“/
Zachary gently pushed the strands of hair away from my face. When he saw the cut at the corner of my mouth, the blood oozing from the tear, his fingers trembled uncontrollably.
His eyes were filled with hatred as he gritted his teeth and spat, “Who did this?!”
The man, who was usually so strong, was now standing there with tears in his eyes.
The entire room fell into a tense silence, no one daring to breathe. Gabriel stared at me in shock, while Ellie was visibly shaken, repeatedly wiping the cold sweat from her forehead.
In the corner, the makeup artist quickly grabbed a first aid kit to tend to my wounds, her eyes red as she spoke.//
“Sir Zachary, Ms. Waller made it clear from the start that she intended to marry you today, but no one believed her.
“Mr. Gabriel and Ms. Moor mocked Ms. Waller, saying she brought her grandmother’s funeral photo to the venue to force
a marriage. To make matters worse, Mr. Gabriel not only burned the photo of Ms. Waller’s grandmother, but-
“He also claimed that Ms. Waller had fabricated rumors about her wedding to you and that she had stolen the wedding dress and necklace you personally designed. He said he was going to teach her a lesson and in the process, he…!!
“He… he viciously tore open Ms. Waller’s mouth.”
With each word the makeup artist spoke, the hatred in Zachary’s eyes grew deeper. What had started as pure fury now morphed into barely–contained killing intent.”
He clenched his jaw, his voice cold and dangerous as he demanded, “What else did he say?“!
The makeup artist hesitated, then continued, “He also said that Ms. Waller had been abused by others, that her body was no longer pure and that he allowed his friends to do as they pleased with her, using her for their amusement.“/
