Zoey then caressed Chloe's hand which was still resting on her face. She looked up at her mother and smiled "Don't worry mother I no longer want to be married to that man but, I will have to stay with him a bit longer.
Trust me I will leave him but, I promise I won't just roll over and take all of his abuse. While I was in that coma I had an incredible nightmare where he hurt you, Zack, and Noah. I love you mother and I won't make you or anyone of you worry anymore this I swear on my life." She reassured Chloe.
Chloe didn't like the idea that Zoey would stay longer with her jerk husband but, she saw Zoey had changed and that she changed for the better. Chloe sighed "*Sigh* I don't want you staying with that man but, I trust you my lovely daughter and I believe in your words. Now let me go get you some food."
Chloe took her hand away from Zoey and gestured for the two boys to follow her. Noah and Zack opened their mouths to protest but, were shut up by Chloe grabbing them by their shirt collars and dragging them out of the room and shutting the door behind her.
After making sure they were gone Zoey laid back and started going through her memories again closely paying attention to the ones about her husband, Alex Rong.
After her father, Donny Chang desperately wanted to co-operate with the Rong corporation. He cut a deal with Alex's parents, Emma Rong and Ronald Rong. He promised that in exchange for their co-operation he would marry Zoey to Alex.
Donny had three daughters by his collective mistresses but, didn't want to marry them off as he didn't want to waste his "gorgeous daughters' on the Rong's when they could make better brides for even better men with more money and status.
The Rong's agreed only because even though Alex was their beloved first son. He was a huge playboy and slept with many women sinking their family reputation. Almost every day there were articles and pictures everywhere on the internet some of the reading.
" ALEX RONG TAKES ANOTHER WOMAN TO A HOTEL"
"VIDEO FOOTAGE OF ALEX RONG DRINKING AND FLIRTING WITH TWO WOMEN"
"ALEX RONG DROPS OFF GIRL AT ABORTION CLINIC"
They were sick of this and even though Zoey Chang was a 'bastard' and a 'loser' they would force this marriage and force him to keep his dick in his pants until he found himself a more suitable wife.
When they agreed Donny threatened Zoey that if she didn't go along with the marriage he would first get her mother fired, then her brother fired, then get her kicked out of school and even kill them along with Noah.
Zoey knew he could and would do this and agreed. She couldn't tell Zack, Chloe, or even Noah because she didn't want them to worry and was worried on what they'll do or try to do, so she explained her reason for marrying him was true love.
Zoey and Alex's marriage was made known everywhere and his family released this statement.
"Alex is madly in love with Zoey he would never cheat on her," and that statement was complete bullshit.
Alex had hated Zoey because he thought she had forced her father to convince his parents to marry them as she was madly in love with him (which wasn't true whatsoever). Alex didn't even know Zoey's living conditions and didn't even ask anything about her.
Zoey was them forced to move into Alex's mansion where he didn't treat her well. Alex already had three women living in his home and he moved in two more after Zoey and he had been married for a month.
His parents allowed this because they didn't want him getting Zoey pregnant and they assumed he would eventually pick one of them as his new wife. Alex had no intention of this and put Zoey through hell so she would divorce him and he could play the victim.
Even though each of his mistresses had a bedroom he would bring them into his kicking Zoey out and making her sleep on the couch. He would tell his mistresses to bully Zoey so that she would leave and they could marry instead.
He also mentally and emotionally abused her until she just one step from plummeting down a rabbit hole of depression.
For example, Zoey once wanted to go to a friend's birthday party and wore a beautiful white sundress. When Alex saw her wearing this and said terrible things like.
"Oh you're gonna sleep with another man tonight."
"*Hmph* A slut like you wearing white doesn't make laugh."
"*Ugh* a whore like you trying to look innocent probably trying to get herself a sugar daddy."
This upset Zoey so much that she didn't go and drowned her sorrows with three tubs of ice cream instead.
Alex even told his servants to ignore her and never listen to her orders. Along with this, the entire Rong family abused her and even through all this Zoey never complained and even treated him well and.
"Woah, Woah, Woah! Hold on just a minute-" Zoey's thoughts interrupted her reviewal of her memories.
"This all sounds so familiar. *Gasp* this just like all those novels I read. Those really trashy ones that I couldn't stop reading." In her past life Zoey read novels and comics that are very similar to her life now.
Basically, the plot right now is a woman known as the female lead is killed due to an accident or unending torment by her family and/or husband. A stronger more skilled woman is then reincarnated into her body.
Then the now reincarnated female lead acts differently, becomes successful and stronger, and ignores her husband, the male lead. The male lead sees this change and begins to 'fall in love' with the female lead. He soon starts to chase after her and starts pulling stunts like forcing a kiss and forcing himself on her.
Then the female lead would 'fall in love' with the male lead. Zoey would love the part of the story where the female lead got back at her enemies and absolutely hated the part where the female lead and male lead would engage in romantics.
Zoey's thoughts were now screaming "OH COME ON I'M THE FL. NOW I HAVE TO FIGHT OFF THE ADVANCES OF THAT IDIOT HUSBAND. AND THE FEMALE LEAD ALWAYS HAS MORE THAN ONE MAN THAT'LL FALL IN LOVE WITH HER AND NOW I HAVE TO DEAL WITH THEM TOO *UUUUGHHH* I THINK I'M GONNA BE SICK *HURK*."
Zoey hated this and started pulling her hair. She forced herself to calm down and remember that she was much stronger then and could reject his advances and beat his ass at the same time.
"Ok this may suck but, I have to power through for my family!" Zoey encouraged herself as someone else entered the room.
