I leaned back in the car seat, my eyes staring out of the car, my heart still racing from my confrontation with him. Josh handed me a tissue to wipe away the tears that had started to fall which I didn't even noticed."Feel better now?" he asked, his eyes staring occasionally at me.I nodded, taking a deep breath. "Yeah, I think so."Josh put the car in gear and pulled out of the driveway. "Good. Let's get out of here and forget about that jerk for a while."I gave him a half smile and tossed away the used tissue in my hand.“I don't plan on forgetting about him for a while, I intend doing it for the rest of my life.”We drove in silence for a while, the only sound being the music playing on the radio. I stared out the window, my mind still reeling from the events of the past week. How everything had gone from perfectly good to bad."Hey, Josh?" I said, breaking the silence."Yeah?" He hummed a reply nodding his head to the music currently playing."Which restaurant do you think we sho
I tilted my head towards the entrance of my bedroom where Josh was leaning on the doorframe. He was generous enough to let me use his guest room which I'll forever be grateful for.It's been a week. One whole fucking week since I left Zayn's mansion. No call, no text, nothing at all. Not that I expected him to show up right at my door the minute he learns I'm no longer in the mansion__ but it hurts like hell.“You suck at brewing coffee Josh.” I scrunched my nose remembering the last time Josh made me coffee. I had to wash my mouth four times just to scrape out the bitter taste from my tongue.Josh chuckled and walked into the room, a cup of coffee in hand. "Hey, I resent that. My coffee skills are top-notch."“Agree to disagree. You'll never be excellent at brewing coffee even with the help of an excellent coffee brewer.”“Wait until you taste this one sunshine.” He winked stretching out the steam oozing cup to me which I accepted.I raised an eyebrow, taking the cup from him. "Reall
As the cab driver drove home my mind was racing with questions. Why was she here? From the letter I found in the hidden room, I can as well just say 'they were or are in a romantic relationship 'I felt like my world was crashing down around me.As soon as I got home, I called rushed straight into nanny Miriam's room. "Hey dear,where have you been? You didn't have breakfast before leaving.” she was saying but kept quiet when she saw my moody face."Aunt I need to ask you some questions." I said, my voice shaking."What's wrong, did Zayn do something stupid?" She asked, her tone serious that I would have smiled if only I was feeling so hurt.I shook my head. “I'm just coming back from Zayn's office and I saw him hugging another woman need to know what's going on."“He was just hugging her sunshine. No strings attached.”I laughed in disagreement.“That wasn't a friendly hug, I know when I see one.”“Then__Who could that be? Did you just say a woman ?” she motioned for me to come seat b
“Are you sure you are going to be okay in there?”He asked for the twentieth time as we rode to the bank in his car.I rolled my eyes at him.“Come on, don't tell me you're scared.”“You should know I am. Now that you're the almighty Zayn's fiancee, only someone in his right senses will be scared.”I chuckled and glance out from the window.“I wonder why you're scared. But don't worry, I got this okay.”There was total silence till we pulled up in the bank. “I guess we are here.” I muttered slowly using my eyes to look around the whole building.“Josh turned off the ignition and turned to face me. “I think you should know the straight path that leads to the dickhead office.”I stifled in a laugh. Obviously, Josh and the CEO of (DFB) would never be in the friendly adult zone.“Once we get inside. Just go straight to the third elevator to your left and punch on the fifth floor, it's rarely ever used. Take the second turning to your right and you're right at his office.”I nodded my head s
“Hey, you got to be kidding me right?" He asked with his eyes wide open.I shook my head and placed my hands on the table.We were currently at Eli's where I had earlier asked him to meet me. Maybe he could help me out in some areas, I don't really trust him.“Here's your order.” Eli beamed placing down each what we both requested.I flashed him a smile “Thank you.” “Don't sweat it pretty.” he patted Josh on his shoulders and slithered back to his work.“Is there something you aren't telling me ?” his voice came out low and hoarse forcing me to look back at him.A throaty laugh bubbled out of my throat. “Do you feel like I'm hiding something from you?"“Well... Not really, but all of a sudden you come to me asking for a layout of a bank. Not any bank but DFB.”I took a quick glance around the cafe looking if anyone was paying attention to our conversation. Seeing none, I leaned over on the table pushing my cup of ice cappuccino aside.“There's absolutely no reason for you to panic Jo
As we walked back to the mansion, I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease. I expected to feel lighter and more free after denouncing every strings attaching me to my mother, but that isn't what I felt in my body.The feeling was more like I added a heavy weight to my previous burden.Not to talk about Amad's piercing gaze which had left me feeling uncomfortable, and I couldn't help but wonder why the heck he continued glaring at me till he was out of sight."Why was Amad staring at me like that?" I asked Zayn, trying to sound casual.He raised an eyebrow. “How do you mean?”I shrugged my shoulders. “In a creepy manner that's beginning to annoy me somehow.”Zayn chuckled. "He can be a bit... intense. But he means well."I wasn't so sure. There was something about Amad that didn't sit right with me.I know he never liked me, but recently his behavior was becoming a little bit suspicious. But I can only hope he means well as Zayn said.As we entered the mansion, Amad was already sitt
“Hey what are you up to?” her sweet angelic voice asked as she hugged me from behind.After we've settled our differences I forced her to pack her things to my room.She refused at first but I finally succeeded in convincing her.“Just taking care of some office affairs. Go back to sleep, I will join you briefly.” I turned my head and kissed her.“I'm not feeling sleepy. I slept all through the morning remember.” she pulled over and sat beside me dragging the laptop from my front.She peered at the screen and gave me a 'I don't understand you' look.“You want to buy diamond finance bank?” (DFB)“Yes pumpkin. I intend on buying it.”“But, considering the fact that it's a kind of heritage bank. Won't it be hard and tough?”“Don't worry. I will scale through.” I reassured her.“Will you need my help?” she asked in a worried tone.“Time will tell. For now, we need to sleep.” I shut the laptop down before she could make any protesting sound.I moved up dragging her hands with me. “I'm not
“Just kill me and get it over with already.” the bastard sitting before me groaned out In frustration.But no, I can't end his life just yet. People like him don't deserve easy death, they deserve a painful and slow one.At first when I entered his prison, I could hardly recognize him due to the amount of beating he had received when I was away tending to Kacie.Trust Amad to do a satisfying job on an offender. His body screams of excessive beating just the way I love it.He was strapped tightly to a chair with chains around his legs and wrist. His left eyes was swollen and his nose broken. He had a very deep cut on his right thigh. I smirk In satisfaction.A long table was kept closely to him so he could sleep whenever he wishes to. It was very considerate of Amad to think of his sleep, left for me, he wouldn't know what it feels like to fall asleep again.Well maybe eternal sleep.But judging from how swollen his eyes are, I doubt if he was able to have a nap. Not like I cared an
