I raised my brows at her question, maybe I should show Arturo who I really was. How dare he? Real men don’t go reporting every little thing, do they?“What did you tell him, zayn?” She asked again and I sighed.“I warned him to stay away from you, that’s it”Ayita pursed her lips, she didn’t want even know wether to laugh or to cry, she even threw her hands in the air helplessly.“Are you even supposed to do that? Why go ahead and threaten him like that? It’s not like we have anything going on between us”“That guy is a type that won’t take no for an answer Ayita, I had to put him in his Place for crying out loud” I was also getting frustrated. Was she allowed to take his side and not mine? I was the man she loved and she was taking his side? I felt wronged.“Do you realize you are a priest?” She asked after a while, “you don’t have the liberty to do as you please zayn” she folded her hands across her chest as she spoke, “do you realize what will happen if people find out what you are
~~~~~~~Ayita~~~~~~~The moment I entered my room, I locked my door and slumped on my bed in despair. Right now I was very scared, he was a priest and he ordered for someone to be killed? What kind of a person was he by the way?A lot was going on in my mind, I wanted to call Arturo and tell him to be safe but I just noticed I left my phone downstairs.Well going downstairs to take my phone was not going to cost anything right?The minute I opened the door, his face came into view and I shivered before taking a step back.“Zayn” I didn’t know when I called his name, right now he looked like a different person to me.“Where are you going, flower?” The way he spoke made me cringe, at that moment he just looked like a murderer to me.“I thought you already left?” I asked him but he stepped closer and snaked his hand around my waist. My door was ajar but he didn’t care, he has never cared by the way.“You want to get rid of me, bonita?” The smirk on his face was creepy but why the hell w
~~~~~~~zayn~~~~~~After ending the call with her, I opened my car door and climbed out of the car. The sky was dark and I was sure it was about to rain. Was this God about to cry for all the sacrileges I have committed in a short while? Not only did I just go after a woman but I ordered the killing of another man. Wasn’t this the greatest sin?But Arturo caused it, I warned him right?Raking my hand through my hair, I made my way into the house and my room. I needed a hot shower. Confession was tomorrow by the way, I was the priest in charge. Maybe I needed to travel to another town or country entirely to have my confession there. I was not ready to confess to any of the priests here and have them look at me with disgust. I was the most liked priest and I was still enjoying that title.With that in mind, I booked an early morning flight to Vatican City. There I will have my confession. Having done that, I entered my bathroom for a nice hot shower. Part of me was already wishing that
Without even thinking I rushed out of the confession cubicle and followed her, the church compound was already deserted and i knew no one was going to see us.Ayita was pacing up and down the garden when snaked my hand around her waist and buried my face in the crook of her neck, how I missed her.She scented of lavender and rose which made me more intoxicated than I should, she always smelt and dressed nicely.“Someone is being a baby huh?” She asked teasingly and I gave a pout, of course I was her baby.“I went over to the house but your butler told me you kind of traveled?”This time around I finally let go of her and stood in front of her, she had a glossy lip. It was playful and sexy.“I went for confession, I told you I was going to go right?”“Hmmm” Ayita nodded, “you did, that was fast”She was still talking when he took two steps forward and yanked her into my embrace which made her to gasp a little.“I thought you were so mad at me to the point of hatred”“Arturo is in a ve
~~~~~~~~~Ayita~~~~~~~I knew what zayn did was wrong, I know he was wrong to have ordered Arturo’s death but i just didn’t want to blame him. I wanted to find a reason to hold onto him, he was jealous and I totally understood it. Arturo was bothering me by the way and I wanted him to stop for a long time now.Let’s just say I was scared, I was scared of coming to terms with how I really felt. Zayn was just a victim of my own circumstances and he retaliated because I allowed Arturo long enough in my life.Well here I was in his arms again in the pool and he was ramming into me again. I was already addicted to him and I just didn’t want to stay away from him again. Over the past few weeks I have seen a lot more zayn than I ever got to know about my ex husband. Zayn was a man of his words and that is one of the reasons why I think I am in love with him. Everything about him just turned me on but I was scared. I was scared of the day our relationship would be exposed and how the world wou
~~~~~~~~~~Zayn~~~~~~~~~I had a huge smile on my face when I got home but my joy was shot lived when I saw a familiar car parked in my garage. What the hell was he doing in my house? The nerve of him to come here again.Dmitri was seated on my porch when I walked over, a bottle of Italian whiskey sitting in front of him while a glass was twirling in his hand.“Right on time” dmitri replied in his usual authoritative voice, “you came right on time to share a glass of wine with me”“I don’t think I appreciate the fact that you come and go as you please in my house Mr Vander”His loud chuckle filtered into my ears while he leaned against the cane chair,“I said sit zayn” now he sounded serious and I had no choice but to do as he said.Dmitri Vander always got what he wanted no matter what but he has met the newer version of him, i was equally as ruthless if not more.“How is your girlfriend?” He asked after a while and I gulped. Well I wasn’t about to lie that shs wasn’t my girlfriend, I
I woke up feeling refreshed and happy. We were traveling today and I couldn't wait to have Ayita in my arms again. How I missed her. As if she read my thoughts, my phone began to ring and I couldn’t stop myself from smiling when I saw the caller ID. It seems the universe was also on my side.“Hello baby” I whispered immediately, “it seems you can’t wait to be in my arms too right?”She scoffed, “don’t get ahead of yourself Mr” I knew she had a smile on her face, “you will come and pick me up right?”“Of course my lady, I will freshen up and be on my way”“Good, be right on time okay?”“Sure”After a few more talks, I ended the call before going towards my closet. I needed to wear something nice, I had already packed my suitcase the night before even though I knew I wouldn’t be needing the clothes most of the time.My eyes caught the brown Gucci overcoat I had purchased during Paris fashion week last month. I hadn’t worn it before and believe me when I saw it cost a hell of a fortune.
~~~~~~~Ayita~~~~~~The flight to Mauritius was an eventful one, zayn kept telling me of his adventures in other countries and believe me it was hilarious.At intervals, a hostess will come over and ask us if we needed anything. Zayn always made my choices for me and funny enough he knew everything that I liked, more of a creepy stalker.I didn’t know when we reached Mauritius because I had fallen asleep, it was when the plane was about to land that zayn woke me up and believed me when I said the country was just as beautiful.The ride to the hotel was an interesting one, zayn kept telling me he had a lot of places to show me and I was looking forward to it already.My mouth dropped when we entered the suite, it was so beautiful. Everything we needed was inside and what I needed the most right now was a soothing shower.“You should take your shower and rest so you can adjust to the time difference here” zayn said and I nodded at him before plodding into the bathroom.The minute the wat
~~~~~zayn~~~~~Finally she agreed to do the chemotherapy and I have not been happier. Maybe she could finally be healed and we can take care of our family. The more I thought about it, I couldn't help but draw her into my embrace.“I love you so much, Ayita” I whispered into her ear while pulling her close to myself. If I could turn back the hands of time, I would have made up for all those years that my father hurt her and made her not believe in herself. I couldn’t stop myself from feeling guilty about all the things that have happened to my Ayita, the only woman I have ever and will ever love.“Zayn….” She was just about to say something when the doorbell rang and I could feel how she immediately jolted. She was actually scared and I could understand why. Dmitri Vander kept her on her toes for years and I couldn't blame her. I can only take revenge for her and I promise I was going to do it.“Did your father say he was coming here?” Ayita asked, her voice quivering at each stateme
AYITA….I am aware I don’t have much time but I am going to make the rest of my days the happiest days. I am not going to let him suffer anymore.Pulling myself away from him, I gently cupped his face and wiped the tears that were streaming down his face. Zayn looked so fragile and my heart broke seeing him in this kind of a situation.“Stop crying okay?” I urged him, “you are making me feel bad for all this”“I just don’t want to lose you, Ayita” zayn retorted, “how will I take care of the kids, how will I take care of myself? You said you are the queen of my empire and you want to leave me and go, how will I rule the kingdom without your help?”“How about we forget this for the moment and enjoy ourselves?”Before he could even say anything, I pushed him on the bed and stood up, “even if I am going to die, I should at least get a taste of you once again before I go right?”“Flower…” the name rolled out of his lips as mine curled into a small smile.“Let me love you the way I want, za
The whole place was being guarded as I and Alex jumped in through the fence. I didn’t want Dmitri or his men to see me, I didn’t want it to get all bloody and stuff but I had to save my woman, I had to show her that I am capable of keeping her safe even from my father.“What should we do now, boss?” Alex asked me.“You and the men will tackle anyone who tries to enter the house, I will take care of Dmitri inside”“Yes boss” my men answered and I hastily made my way into the house, time was of the essence here.Luckily he was not in sight which was a bit strange, the Dmitri I knew would never keep leave his door unguarded.As I ventured into the room, I could hear screams from the other side of the house and I immediately rushed there to see Ayita sprawled on the ground with blood oozing out of her mouth and one of my father’s men was standing over her with a smirk on his face.“Let her go” I ordered as I sauntered deeper into the room looking all angry and terrified. Was she bleeding
~~~~~ZAYN~~~~~I gently opened my eyes as I squinted them to get accustomed to the room, it was after a while that the memories of what happened earlier became fresh in my head. The fact that Dmitri had the nerve to tie me up in this dungeon, how dare he? I swear I was going to kill him if I get the slightest chance now.“I didn’t think you were going to wake up” a voice said beside me and I turned to see Alex, he was also tied up along with my men and he had a sleazy smirk on his face which I badly want to smack off his face, “Dmitri Vander has always been a sly man, we actually came into his territory unprepared”“Why don’t you keep quiet” I hissed at him, “we should be thinking of how to get away from here” I added.“How are we going to escape from here, Zayn?” Alex inquired, “your father is no fool and….”“I have my phone with me, boss' ' one of my men said to me and my lips curled into a smile, finally someone with brains.“Call Valerie” I ordered.“My hands are tied, boss, I c
The moment the plane landed in Italy, I took a cab and went straight to where Dmitri had told me to go.It was a lake house which I believe Is located near his real house, he wouldn’t want to go that far from home.As I walked up to the gate, some hefty looking men were standing and could feel my heart beating fast against my rib cage. I didn't know what he was going to do to me.“Good evening” I greeted the men at the gate.“Who are you?” One of them asked me, his voice sending dread through my whole body.“I am Ayita and I am here to see Mr Dmitri, he asked me to meet him here”“Show me your ID” he told me and I searched for it in my bag before giving it to him.“He is waiting for you at the lake, you may go”After thanking them, I made my way into the gate and someone was there to lead me to where Dmitri Vander was seated.Fjs man who caused me so much pain in my life had a bottle of wine twirling in his hand as I walked up to him and an evil smirk was gracing his face. I felt like
~~~~~~~AYITA~~~~~~I gently open my eyes and the whole room is a bit dark, it seems like I must have slept for a while seeing how calm and serene the whole place was.Groaning a little, I pull my body to a sitting position and flick on the light, I was alone in the room but I didn’t flinch, I guess Zayn was out.Pressing the button near me, a nurse hurried into the room and when she saw me, her lips curled into a gently smile.“How are you feeling now, madam?” She asked me and I flashed her a smirk.“I still feel weak but I am a bit better” I answered, “where is Zayn?”“Oh, he left”My forehead creased into a frown when I heard her, why did he leave and he didn’t even let me know.“He said he was going to see someone important and he will be back soon”“Oh, thank you so much”“Of course ma’am” the nurse flashed me another smile, “just let me know if you need anything and I will come to you”“Thank you”After she checked my vitals again, she made her way out of the room while I pick u
As Ayita and her son were talking, I walked out of the room and by then a nurse was already going into the room to check up on Ayita. Standing outside for a few minutes, I also went back into the room but she was already sleeping due to the medication.“Will she be okay?” I asked the nurse who nodded in the positive.“Her body seemed to be responding to treatment sir, she will be up in a few hours” she added before making her way out of the room.I walked over to her and gently sat beside her before taking her hand in mine,“I promise I will protect you with everything I have got” I whispered to her and kissed her forehead. One thing I know is that Ayita is a strong woman and she will get better.After doing that, I picked up my phone and dialed a number, and the person from the other end immediately answered.“What happened man” Alex asked from the other end, “we have been waiting for you guys”“The plans have changed Alex” I told him and I knew a look of confusion was already on
“What did you say?” I asked her again, I wanted to be sure I heard her correctly. I wanted to be sure she knew exactly what she was saying. How could Dmitri Vander do something like that? What the hell was he thinking?Ayita heaved a sigh as she raked her hand through her hair, i hated that she wore a wig by the way.“I didn’t want anything bad to happen to you and my son so I had to do what he said. It was painful but i couldn’t just let anything happen to either of you”“So why the hell didn’t you tell me?” I suddenly flared up and i could see tears well up in her eyes, “why didn’t you tell me what had happened Ayita, you kept it to yourself all these years and even left mw to marry that blond. I was in the hospital for weeks but all of that didn’t matter to you, you didn’t even show up once”“He threatened to kill Asher and you if I ever come close to you” she also yelled as the tears fell off her eyes, “he told me never to show myself to you again and told me to go far away from y
~~~~~~zayn~~~~~The moment I heard those words from her mouth, It felt as if a dagger was pierced through my heart. The pain was too much for me and I couldn’t bear it.How could she have cancer! How could she be suffering like this and I didn’t know anything about it?“Cancer?” I wanted to be sure of what I heard, I wanted to be sure she was telling the truth because it felt like my head was about to explode. How could she have cancer? How could the woman I love be in so much pain?“I have terminal cancer zayn '' Ayita answered again, “I have tried but there is no cure for it. It is the same thing that killed my father and….” Her voice trailed off when she noticed the look in my eyes. She was not supposed to affect me in this kind of way, she was not supposed to make me feel pity for her but here I was. No matter how ruthless I have become, I still didn’t want her feeling any kind of pain that was not inflicted by me.“Look Ayita” I moved closer to her and pulled her to myself, “I am
