Way Back Into Love (Essie)

Chapter 105 A Big Secret (Part One)

"Shut up! My Zac is not your cousin-in-law. He will never like your cousin, that low-class bug." Leila had

almost gone crazy. The alcohol had made her mad and jealous. She was no longer a noble and

elegant lady. At that moment, she was just a crazy woman who was going mad because of love.

Finney realized something from her words. The Zac she had mentioned was her cousin-in-law, and

Leila was a girl who had come to stir up some trouble.

"You have a crush on my cousin-in-law and you want to be his mistress to break them up, right? I'm

telling you, there's no way you can come between them. My cousin-in-law treats my cousin very well.

You can't break them up."

"Mistress?" Leila sneered and said, "Zac and I grew up together. He is my first love, and I was his, too.

How could Essie steal my first love? Why would she do that?"

"So what? Why does that matter? He's now married to my cousin. She is his legal wife. If you get

involved, you will be nothing more than his mistress," Finney said as she glared at Leila with a

contemptuous look. She had seen wild mistresses before, but Leila was the first one she had seen who

had the audacity to be this fierce and bold!

"Get married? Did you say that they are married?" Leila's eyes almost popped out of her head. She

thought she was hallucinating because she was very drunk.

Finney stepped forward and decided to raise her voice at her. "Yes. They're married. They're married

now. Do you understand?" she shouted in a loud and powerful voice.

"No! It's impossible! You are lying! You are lying!" Leila was now overwhelmed by hysteria. She

covered her ears, shook her head, and screamed hysterically before she rushed out of the apartment.

"You mad woman!" Finney cursed and slammed the door.

Meanwhile, it was already late when Essie and Zac arrived home. The moment they entered the house,

Finney told them that Leila had come.

Essie put her hand on her forehead, feeling a little bit dizzy.

'No way! If Leila found out that we are married, she will definitely make trouble.'

She turned around and sneaked a glance at Zac. She thought that he would get nervous and

immediately rush out to explain it all to Leila. But contrary to her expectations, he didn't even make a

sound. He just frowned and had an obscure expression on his face, making it impossible for Essie to

guess what he was thinking.

Not in the mood to try to figure out what was going on, Essie pulled him into her room and said, "Why

don't you try calling her first?" If he didn't say anything, Leila would break up with him for sure.

"There's no need. She would have found out sooner or later," Zac said in an indifferent tone, as if he

was going to deal with it in a negative way.

A hint of bewilderment flashed across Essie's face. 'Did they have a fight with each other?' she thought.

After all, Leila was the daughter of a rich family. Since their families were from different social statuses,

their families probably did not approve of their relationship. Because of his ego, Zac definitely did not

want to be looked down on, so it was inevitable for them to have conflicts often. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Essie sighed, not wanting to interfere with their relationship anymore. They might be a couple, but they

were not a perfect match. One was vicious and insidious, while the other was kind and innocent.

Zac wrapped his arm around her shoulders and pointed at the shadow peeking through the crack of the

door. "The important thing to do now is to explain everything to Finney. I bet she's thinking that I am

having an affair with another woman."

Essie stuck her tongue out at him and opened the door. At that moment, Finney who had been

eavesdropping on their conversation, stumbled into the room and reached out to Essie to regain her

balance.

With an embarrassed smile, Finney scratched her head and said, "I was afraid that you'll quarrel with

each other."

"We are all right. I already knew about Leila. She's Zac's ex-girlfriend. They broke up a long time ago."

Essie wasn't even done talking, but Zac was already feeling his rage bubbling up his chest. Was she

really explaining or was she bringing him shame?

She thought that the word "break up" might irritate him, so she lowered her voice when she talked

again, knowing that the latter part of her words would be even more maddening to him. "Leila came

back from America after finishing her studies and wanted to get back together with Zac, but Zac had

refused her at once. She probably didn't take it very well, so she came here to cause some trouble."

"No wonder she gave you such a low score in the competition and uttered nonsense about your

design. It turns out that she is just narrow-minded and wants to take revenge on you," Finney spat on

the ground.

After that, Essie was afraid that Zac was feeling uncomfortable, so she sent Finney to bed at once.

After all, Leila was still his girlfriend. It didn't matter how much of a bad person she was, she was still a

kind person in Zac's heart, and there was nothing Essie could do about it.

Given the situation, Zac was much calmer than Essie had expected. In hindsight though, he had

always been calm and seldom showed his emotions on his face. Even if Zac was experiencing great

storms in his heart, his expression would always remain cold, just like an Arctic iceberg that had never

melted.

It was late at night.

Everyone had gone to sleep, but Leila was still drinking in front of the bar counter.

Married? Zac and Essie were married?

She didn't believe, absolutely not.

They were nothing more but roommates two days ago. How could they suddenly become a couple

today?

But she did have the ring on. If they were not married, why would Zac give it to her?

The secret was so well-kept that she would not have found out about it if it weren't for Finney.

Leila poured herself a glass of whisky and gulped it down. Her eyes were filled with nothing but tears

and deep hatred.

She couldn't let them go on like this. She couldn't let Essie take her place.

She must find a way to drive her away from Zac.

Mandy's fighting capacity was too weak, so it didn't take long for her to get intimidated by Essie. Leila

couldn't use Mandy to her advantage this time, so she had to find a stronger fighter.

Her malicious and bloodthirsty eyes sparkled in the darkness as a ghost-like smile appeared at the

corners of her mouth.

There was one person that could definitely make Essie die a horrible death.

Leila picked up her phone and sent an anonymous e-mail to that person. It was Valery. She wrote,

"Valery, do you want to know where Zac is? I can tell you."
