All too late for his love (Willow and Zayn)

Chapter 85

100 million dollars… It was a new

The old man up front was clearly upset that the beauty he almost had was taken by someone else. However, when he saw Zayn’s strikingly handsome face, he sadly put his paddle back on the table.

While 100 million dollars was indeed a significant sum, it was within reach for some. But Zayn was not someone they could afford to offend.

As the new CEO of Carter Group, backed by several elite families including the Carters, Griffins, Jaggers, and Dawsons, Zayn had the power to acquire

He had bid on her only to trample her dignity underfoot. Willow didn’t want to think of herself as merchandise being sold to Zayn. But in this situation, she

Upon careful consideration, it didn’t really matter. In his eyes, she was already deemed a shameless woman who would do anything for money. What difference would one more act of shamelessness make?
