Her Dark Desires-Chapter 70: Lovers In Our Past Lives

Eliana lay on the couch, resting her head on Zach’s lap. She wore his black shirt, and her hair tied in a ponytail. Zach read a book while she played a game on her phone. Their little puppy, Leo, slept peacefully on his dog bed.

Eliana groaned in frustration when she lost the level and looked at Zach, who was concentrating on his book.

"What are you reading?" Eliana asked, making Zach glance at her.

"Strategic Minds," Zach called out the name of the book as he turned to the next page.

Eliana dropped her phone on the couch and asked "How do you read books like that? The only books I have ever read are school books to pass my exams and fictional novels."

"That is why you are so dumb," Zach replied playfully he pinched her cheek gently.

"That’s okay. Your smartness is enough for both of us." Eliana said with a smile,

Zach chuckled and closed the book, his hand moving to caress her hair as he asked, "How do you plan on making Amber marry Nolan?"

"I don’t have to do anything, Henry will take care of that all by himself. He is desperate, and Nolan is an old pervert, so I’m sure he wouldn’t refuse Henry’s offer."

"And after marriage?"

Eliana went silent for a moment; she suddenly sat upright and straddled Zachary, making him place his hand on her waist.

"Don’t get angry, just listen to me till the end." Eliana pleaded.

"Ok."

"I want you to restore Henry’s status, company, and wealth."

Zachary scoffed and asked, "Are you already feeling bad for your father?"

"No, that’s not it at all. I am the legitimate daughter of the Moore family and I want the world to know that. I want Henry to name me his heiress in front of everyone and instead of letting everything go down the drain, why don’t I take it from him."

"But why? I know you don’t care about the company."

"I don’t, but I want it."

"You have no assurance that he will make you his heiress."

"He will. I will make him, and after he has made me his successor, I will take everything away from him, and his final destination will be jail. I will never allow a man that has hurt you to be free and happy, Zach."

Zachary used his thumb to caress her waist and whispered, "I know, I trust you."

" I will personally ensure that Henry Moore spends the rest of his life in jail."

Zachary nodded and sighed when his phone rang because he had specifically instructed Ethan not to call him about the walk today. He saw that it was an unknown number and rejected the call.

"Why did you reject the call? It could be important." Eliana asked as her hands played with the button of his shirt.

"I’m sure no one is on fire but if whoever it is calls again, I will answer," Zachary replied, and on cue, the number called again, and this time, he answered the call.

Zach intention of asking who was calling him was gone when he felt his wife’s lips on his neck. He decided to put the phone on speaker and heard a female voice saying, "Good afternoon, Mr. Sanders, this is Cristal, the planning manager for the new project."

"Whatever it is, I’m sure Ethan can handle it," Zachary said coldly and tickled his wife, who was teasing him at the moment, making her giggle.

"Zach, stop it." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Zachary’s eyes never left Eliana’s as he ended the call and in one fluid motion, he flipped her onto her back, pinning her beneath him on the couch. He reached up, capturing her wrists in his hands, and held her arms above her head.

Eliana’s breath suddenly became heavy as she whispered, "Kiss me."

And Zach did just that, he kissed her slowly and passionately, savoring her taste with his tongue and swallowing her soft moans.

Eliana laughed softly as Zach playfully bit her neck the way she did him, but her laugh died down when she felt his hands going up her thighs.

"Zach." Eliana moaned out his name softly and replied with a kiss.

Zachary broke the kiss and placed his forehead on hers as her moans became louder and whispered, "I love you."

....

Sanders Group.

Cristal gripped her phone when Zach ended the call without even giving her a minute of his time. What was wrong with her? Why did she feel hurt when she heard a female voice on the phone? And the way she called him so intimately made her heart pang in jealousy.

There was no need for her to call Ethan because the only reason she had called Zach was because she hadn’t seen him today and found out that he was not coming to the office so she called to make an excuse, so that she could hear his voice but the man ruthlessly dismissed her.

Cristal sighed and mumbled to herself, "There is no way I’m interested in a married man, right? Judging from the way that woman had called him, I guess they are happy in their marriage, but why can I not stop thinking about you, Zachary Sanders? Could it be we were lovers in our past lives?"

...

Moore Mansion.

Ever since the incident, Amber has not left her room and has only recently started eating properly. Her only relief was that Nolan had refused to marry her again, and each day, she prayed that he wouldn’t change his mind.

A knock on the door brought her out of her thoughts, and she didn’t bother to ask whoever it was to come in. The door opened, and Sloane walked inside. Amber could see a certain sadness in her eyes, one she had never seen before, and it made her ask, "What’s wrong?"

Sloane looked away from Amber as she said, "I’m sorry, dear, but now there is nothing I can do for you."

"What do you mean by there is nothing you can do for me? What are you talking about?"

Sloane turned to look at Amber and said, "Your father has once again convinced Nolan to marry you, and this time, the wedding will take place tomorrow at his mansion."
