When Love Breaks (Josephine)

Josephine brushed Zayn's hand off of hers, her patience finally ninning out "Zayn, this isn't a joke. That necklace belongs to me. Please give it back

Just as the tension between them escalated, Nadine walked out with a toss of her curly hair and a sweet smile. "What's got Mrs. Forbes so worked up now? Josephine slowly tumed to face Nadine. "The necklace you're wearing is mine. I'm asking you to retum it,

This one?" Nadine reached up to touch the necklace around her neck and eyed Zayn. "Mr. Forbes gave this to me. Do you have any proot that it belongs to you?- Prool? The pendant on the necklace was engraved with the letters "josephine". Unless she was blind, she could clearly see that it was hers.

Was Nadine seriously asking for proof? It was obvious she was lying through her teeth and had no shame about it.

Her breaths became quick and shallow, her anger clouding her judgment. Acting on impulse, she reached out to grab the necklace around Nadine's neck

But before she could even make contact, Nadine let out a loud groan, dramatically clutching her neck and falling backwards with a thud.

Josephine was taken aback, She had only seen this kind of exaggerated injury acting in IV d

dramas and movies. And now, she was witnessing it first-hand?

She scoffed, not giving her actions a

cany weight, and marched forward to retrieve her necklace

But she felt a firm grip on her wrist, causing her to turn and see Zayn's Impatient glare.

"Are you finished now? We're in a hotel. There are many important people around. Do you!noveldrama

ou have to create a disturbance and draw attention?

"Let go, Zayn, I'm just taking back what's mine!" She broke free from his grip and leapt toward Nadine.

"Ahhh!" Nadine let out a piercing shriek, Josephine furrowed her brow in annoyance and stayed focused on getting the necklace

Just as she was about to reach for it, someone shoved her hard from behind. She crashed into the wall with a loud thud, hitting the back of her head. "Josephine!"

She heard Zayn calling her name in alarm, but she could hardly make out his voice. Her vision was blurred, and her heating was muttled,

It took a while for her senses to return, but the sharp pain in the back of her head was agonizing, like being pricked with needles. "I'm sorry, Josephine, I just didn't want you to hurt Nadine." Josephine held the back of her head and looked at Zayn in disbelief. She never thought he would hit her for Nadine's sake,

Zayn seemed nervous, and his hands trembled as they held onto her. "Are you okay, Josephine? I didn't mean to do that."

Outnumbered, Josephine knew she quin win this tight. She pushed Zayn's hands away, glanced at the pearl necklace around Nadine's neck, and remained silent. She turned and wallied away. "Wait, Josephine" Zayn called after her but was soon interrupted by Nadine's gasps for air. "Mr. Forbes, my stomach hurts. Oh no! It hurts so much!"
