~~~~~~~Ayita~~~~~~The fact that zayn even called the hospital line just to talk to me kind of creeped me out. I knew he was obsessed with me and right now I didn't know the extent he could go to do anything. First he hurt Arturo and now Ben, who was he going to hurt next because of me? He didn’t even give me a chance to not tell the cops because I don’t want to snitch on him but he was getting out of hand. I don’t regret the fact that I left him and came back to America alone but I knew I would be seeing him the next morning.Well, since I was going to be free from his clutches tonight, I decided to have a fun filled night.Arturo was getting better I must say but I didn’t know when he was going to wake up from his coma. The accident was pretty bad and it was meant to kill him but thank goodness he partly survived which left him in a comatose state.Looking back at the time, it was already past nine so I grabbed my bag and walked out of the hospital room. Now I was going to find a sa
~~~~~~~Zayn~~~~~~The moment I alighted from my flight, my black maybach was already waiting for me and I immediately drove over to Ayita’s place. I knew she was going to be home, after all Arturo died.For a priest and a man who faithfully served God for the past seven years, I didn't even feel guilty for what I have been doing. Ranging from sleeping with Ayita to having two persons killed. I was supposed to be mad at myself for committing such atrocities but here I was going to the house of the woman I started my first sin with.I should feel guilty, my conscience should prick me and let me know I was a bad person but I felt totally fine like it was a normal things. Yes it was a normal thing for me to see in my mafia family everyday but I was a priest and this was a different ball game altogether but let’s just say, I was already neck deep into sin, I didn’t know how to save myself anymore.I was deep in thought and by the time I looked up, I was already approaching Ayita’s gate. Fu
~~~~~~~Ayita~~~~~~I had to admit that I missed him after three days but it was for the best. Even if I loved him to the moon and back, I couldn’t bring myself to be with him. It was a forbidden love story at this point.It was already three days after Arturo’s death and the pain was already subsing, so I took Asher to his kindergarten and found my way to the office. The era of zayn was over in my life and I was going to focus on the future.“Good morning ma'am” my assistant greeted me as I entered my office.“What is my schedule for today?”I dropped my bag on the table before lowering myself on my chair.Just as she opened her mouth to say something, a knock on the door made the two of us turn.“Good morning miss ayita” one of my workers sauntered into the office with a bouquet of flowers. I could already guess who sent her and it made my blood boil.“This arrived for you ma’am”I rolled my eyes and gestured for her to keep it on the table, then she left before my eyes narrowed to
“What do you mean?” I had to ask again to be sure, was he kidding right now? From what I know, being a priest was zayn’s biggest dream and now he was giving it up like it was a piece of cake. Didn’t he even feel remorseful at all?“Don’t pretend like you don’t understand what I mean gattina?” His voice made me jolt out of my reverie, “i know you want this so why are you acting so surprised?”I scoffed, he was really insane.“You think you can be a priest and quit as you please?” I asked him and he shrugged.“You left me alone in Mauritius, remember?” This time he cupped my face before speaking again, “everything I do, I do because of you Ayita and you know how much I love you right?”Right now, under the night sky he looked like a lost puppy who was looking for shelter. The zayn I knew never did anything without calculating but here he was giving up his entire dream because of me. Was it really worth it? Maybe God was going to accept him back if he genuinely prayed and confessed his s
~~~~~Zayn~~~~~I felt like my whole world was crashing down, the woman I loved earnestly already called it quits with me.I couldn’t accept the fact that I lost the only woman I loved, even my heart couldn’t bear it.When I called her and she picked up, I figured she was crying and my heart sank to the base of my chest. One thing vowed not to do was make my woman cry and now she was crying, it was all because of me.“Are you crying?” I had to ask her and silence ensued between us, but I could hear her silent sniffs.“Why did you call, zayn?” Ayita asked me, she sounded so broken and the only thing I wanted to do was just pounce into her embrace and let her know that everything would be alright.“Can’t we talk about this?” I asked again, “I know I was wrong and I am sorry about that”“It is over, zayn” she replied and before I could say anything else, Ayita disconnected the call.I had the inkling to smash the phone against the body of my car, what the hell was going on?I didn’t know
The moment I put the finishing touches to dinner, I heard Ayita’s car drive into the compound and my heart skipped a beat. I didn’t know how I was supposed to react near her, how was she going to react near me? A lot was on my mind as one of the workers walked over to the door and flung it open.There she was, dressed in a pair of white gown that stopped below her knees. The gown hugged her hourglass figure perfectly and her hair was tinted in a white color this time. She looked like an angel straight out of heaven and the only thing I wanted to do at that point was just to hug her and not let go.“Good evening, father”A pain tugged at my heart when she called me father, I was so used to Ayita calling me zayn, father made me sound so distant.“You look gorgeous” I managed to say and she flashed me a fake smile. Her eyes traveled around me for a split second and I could see her gulping.“Sorry, please come in”“Thank you”I gestured to the workers to leave and led her to the dinner ta
~~~~~~~Ayita~~~~~~Call it my stupidity or something but i didn’t know how I was tell zayn off anymore. The fear in his eyes was enough to make me change my mind, i have seen this man crying and I don’t want to see him hurt again. I was leading him to sin again and it was not something I wanted to do again, even my mum warned me but here I was, my heart winning over my head.“Flower” zayn called out to me while cupping my face, “are we back together?”“What do you think?” I asked back, “you are not even giving me the chance to speak for myself”His lips curved into a smile, “I have missed you so much Ayita” his hands were caressing the small of my back, “I thought I was going to lose my mind and I even wanted to confess to the bishop and tell him to take me back”“It seems you are still feeling conflicted about leaving the priesthood right?” I questioned and he sighed.“The moment Dmitri hears that I quit, he would do everything humanly possible for me to take care of the family”“He
~~~~~~zayn~~~~~~Let’s just say my morning started on a fruitful note because I had the most beautiful woman on earth and I loved her to the moon and back. I just had to quit and move away with her to a safe place.Speaking of quitting, I knocked gently on the bishop’s door and I entered. He was engrossed in the book he was reading but when he saw him, a smile appeared on his face and my whole countenance changed. I knew he loved me like a son but our relationship ends here.“Zayn” the smile on his face continued to linger, “you are here earlier than I thought”I smiled and lowered myself on the sofa, “today is Tuesday and I know you have a lot to do today at the cathedral so I don’t want to waste your time more than necessary”My eyes hovered over the room and a feeling of nostalgia enveloped me. I could vividly remember seven years ago when I first entered this office by the time I was to be ordained a priest and I loved every ambiance of the room. Here I was, seven years later abo
