Lacy - Z.M (Book 2, Malik Series)

15.

"And you have Nelson on the other side of the park which we assume he would be coming from." Rodney explains.

I gaze around the park once more before facing the familiar Lamborghini.

My insides begin to stir with unease.

"Holy shit he's here." I murmur under my breath as a Black Range Rover pulls up behind him.

Two car doors open from the Range Rover as Zayn gets out of the lambo.

I made sure we were in broad daylight and in a public place so he wouldn't try anything.

Knowing how Zayn is prone to revenge, I know for a fact that he would have killed Jane right in front of us just to get a point across not to fuck with him.

If he can kill my best friend in front of me, he would kill anyone.

I watch as he leads the way. That same black suit with a slightly loosened tie and unbuttoned blazer.

Two men are on each side of him as they drag Jane behind him, away from our view.

My heart is beating rapidly in my chest and I don't know what to expect but I'm hoping for the best, and expecting the worse.

Rodney tenses before looking back down at me. "It's really her." He whispers hopefully.

A small smile spreads on my face, but it falls immediately as I look back at Zayn who's eyeing me as throughly as I am eyeing him.

Chills and an unwanted feeling I haven't felt in a very long time quivers through my body as he decreases the distance between us.

With every step he takes closer, my breath becomes more shallow.

At a certain point, he stops a few steps away from me but doesn't say a word as he steps aside and gestures towards Jane who's merely standing between the two men.

"Jane!" Rodney gasps before I pull him back.

"What's the catch?" I narrow my gaze at Zayn. "It can't be that easy."

"You tell me." Zayn murmurs. "You brought me here."

"Did I? You had a choice."

"From what you said last night, it wasn't exactly a choice, Alissa." Zayn frowns, stepping closer, only for me to step back.

"You really think I can threaten someone who destroyed every inch of dignity I ever had?" I murmur, stepping closer and closer to him. "You had a choice." I whisper before walking towards Jane.

"Let her go!" I scowl before Zayn grips into my arm.

"Tell me what the hell you are doing?!" Zayn whispers harshly.

"Let me go." I murmur.

"Answer me." Zayn scowls.

"Let her go." Nelson, one of my guards out of no where is by my side and I gaze up at him before looking back at Zayn who reluctantly lets go of my wrist.
