The Playboy’s Downfall novel Chapter 2

Zero doesn’t want to grab the opportunity to touch her again. He had enough. And how could he let go of her if she was like this? It’s not that he’s in love, but they’re trying to at least loosen the heaviness of the atmosphere so that Isla won’t be having a hard time letting go.

Isla has feelings for him, and he felt that. So, to cut those, he needs to stay away from her.

“I will take a bath first,” Zero answered and didn’t mind even if Isla was flaunting her nakedness on him.

Isla is really alluring and attractive. She got charms that can make men kneel in front of her. If only they were not in the tricky situation where he needed to stay away, maybe he would ask her hand for marriage. But the odds were against the kind of relationship that they had.

Zero thinks that he’s okay with their situation, but he feels that Isla’s falling for him deeply as time goes by.

It’s not hard to fall in love with her. Zero admits that he felt a foreign feeling to her, and he doesn’t like it. So, it’s better to cut ties with her.

Isla cursed inside her head while watching Zero make his way toward the bathroom. Just wow, she thought. Zero just ignored her—and she knew this had something to do with the things they had. Zero is really cutting ties with her. She glanced at the clock that was attached to the wall, and it was already four in the afternoon. They have a few hours left since Zero told her that they need to get back before ten in the evening.

She heaved a deep sigh and stared at the ceiling. God, Zero is really killing me, she thought. Why can’t he just get straight to the point? Why all of a sudden? Our bond is working, right? And he became aloof after that day when he brought me for a candlelight dinner.

Isla would accept that she totally fell into Zero’s trap. She’s very much in love with the man that it will kill her if they part ways. However, she understood that Zero was evident ever since the beginning. He just wanted a no-strings-attached relationship, but it was her who seemed to forget that.

She took a deep breath and rolled her body to the other side of the bed. The scene earlier is a little bit embarrassing because Zero wasn’t tempted by her. Damn, I guess she needs to finger herself when she gets back. Maybe she will just get satisfied by pleasuring herself. She doesn’t want to find another man if it’s not Zero. She instead prefers to be an old maiden.

After a few minutes, Zero gets out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around the lower part of his body. Isla heaved a deep sigh. Even if she begs in front of him, she guesses, Zero won’t give a damn anymore.

However, a naughty thought came across her mind. She climbed down from the bed and walked towards Zero. She saw how Zero’s forehead furrowed as he stopped wiping his hair with the small white towel.

For the last time, she wished that the odds would favor her.

“What are you doing?” Zero asked as he met her eyes.

Isla let out a sly smirk on her lips. “It is not yet the end of the day, baby,” she uttered and tried her best to sound seductive. She even bit her lower lip to look more daring.

Zero arched his left brow and was about to walk away when she stopped him. “Not so fast, Zero Cohen. I love to see your monster once again, and if you will be going to push me away one more time, I swear, I will not stop pestering your life,” she threatened, which draws lines into his forehead.

“W-What are you—stop this, Isla!” he uttered when Isla tried to throw herself into him.

Isla frowned. “Why are you like that? We’re in a relationship—”
