Chapter 300 
Maeve’s heart sank 
The Sergio she once knew wouldn’t stoop 
stoop to such levels. He had never resorted to such despicable means to win over the woman he liked. 
Sergio spoke softly, “I won’t force you, Maeve. As long as you don’t insist on the divorce, I won’t bother the Scott family.” 
“Let me go!” 
Maeve struggled against Sergio’s tight grip, but his strength was immense. She couldn’t break free from his restraint. 
Her gaze turned icy. “Sergio, do you think I’ll fall for you by doing this? If anything, it’ll only make me hate you more!” 
“I don’t care if you love me or hate me, as long as you’re by my side.” Sergio’s eyes betrayed his emotions. It was as if their past was nothing but a dream. 

However, Maeve knew better as she wasn’t dreaming. She vividly remembered everything Sergio had done to her in the past. 
Faced with someone who had once tried to kill her, she no longer harbored any love for him. 
“But I don’t want to stay by your side. No matter how you mess with the Scott family, I’ll never stay with you.” 
He tightened his grip on her wrist and said, “Don’t push me, Maeve.” 
“Since when did you stoop to using such tactics on women, Mr. Brooks? Sergio, do you even realize what you’ve become? You’re like a pitiful suitor, willingly debasing yourself! How can you stoop so low and even resort to kidnapping? All I feel is disgust when I see you.” 
Each word struck Sergio’s heart. 
Maeve knew too well that these were the same words Sergio had spoken to her in her previous life. 

She remembered it vividly after the day they had  . 
Back then, Sergio had looked at her in disgust and said the same words that she had just said. 
Now, she was simply returning those exact words to Sergio. 
Sergio had never received such humiliation in front of someone before, and his face darkened with anger. “Maeve, am I wrong to love you as my wife? I’ll never agree to a divorce even if it’s what you want.” 
As he reached out to tear Maeve’s clothes and leaned down to kiss her, she suddenly burst into laughter beneath him. 
Sergio furrowed his brows. “What’s so funny?“. 
“Sergio, what’s the point of forcing a woman who doesn’t love you to be intimate with you? Even if you have your way with me, it won’t change my decision to divorce you. I suggest that you give up on that idea.” 
There was no love in Maeve’s eyes, only coldness. 
Sergio clenched his fists, his calm demeanor collapsing like a dam, revealing the ferocity of a wild beast about to break loose. 
“You’re 
to me!” 
my wife, and I want you. What’s wrong with that? After tonight, I’ll have my own ways to make sure you stay. Mavy, you belong only 
As he tore Maeve’s dress, the mere touch of her skin ignited a flame within him. 
Unable to control himself, he pressed down on her forcefully. 
Suddenly, the door burst open, flooding the room with light from the corridor. 
Zion’s punch sent Sergio crashing to the ground in an instant. 
Wiping the blood from his mouth, Sergio’s eyes gleamed with a cold light. “Zion?”
