Love That Wasn't Meant to Last novel Chapter 33

I knew that Zion was quite discontent with the fact that I had a girlfriend, and I felt equally frustrated.

He was the one who had disrupted my relationship with Selena in the first place, yet now that I had chosen to divorce her, he seemed to have a problem with me finding someone new. I couldn't fathom where he got the audacity to look down on me.

Being under his roof, I had no choice but to keep my head down, especially since I felt like I was being held captive by him. Sighing, I looked at him and said, "We agreed that if I helped Selena take a bath, you would give me my phone back."

Zion sneered, pulling out his own phone and waving it in front of me. "I never said I'd return your phone. I just said you could make a call." With that, he unlocked his phone and handed it to me.

Looking at his phone, the wallpaper showed a photo of Selena and him together. Seeing that made me lose the desire to make the call.

Forget it, it was just a phone—nothing special about it. It was just a tool to fulfill my needs. I was about to dial Sylvia's number when a text message came in.

"We've found out everything about that woman. Meet at the usual place tonight."

Woman? Usual place?

I frowned and glanced at Zion, but he showed no reaction. His eyes were fixed on the hospital room.

Not wanting him to pull any tricks behind my back, I hesitated for a second before deciding to delete the message.

I entered Sylvia's number immediately, and as the phone rang, my heart raced with anxiety.

With that, he took the phone away, not even giving me time to delete our chat history.

I wanted to curse Zion for being so scheming, but the phone was his, and I was the one in a vulnerable position. I had no choice.

Seeing my frustration amused him. He came over and patted my shoulder. "As long as you take good care of Selena, I'll make sure you're not shortchanged after she recovers. As for your girlfriend, I'll handle that for you."

Handle? What was he going to do?

I was puzzled, but just as I opened my mouth to ask, Zion turned to leave, clearly not interested in addressing my questions.
