Zoey's hands trembled slightly before she pushed the door of the animal shelter open, why was she suddenly feeling giddy? She was just going to adopt a cat for her sweet little Zara.

She figured out recently that if her daughter Zara loves when people stroked her hair, then she would absolutely love the cat who's fluffy. Sounded like a perfect idea.

She hated animals, not in that sense, she just hated having them around- except her little gold fish when she was five, she wasn't sure it was considered an animal, but oh well.

"Miss. Hart?" The head of the animal shelter had ran to her, before grabbing her hand gently, who wouldn't be surprised seeing Zoey Hart in their local animal shelter?

Barks of dogs filled her ears, meows of cats struck her hard and she contemplated on still doing what she wanted, but her daughter, Zara loved cats, it might even be an early birthday present.

"Oh. Yes." She stared down at her dress, before turning to face the middle aged woman, her hair was already

    "Are you the Rafael guy?" Miranda ran into the restaurant, with nothing but her high heels almost tripping her down, her Mexican makeup was probably ruined now considering how far she had ran.Earlier, She had stopped at the public bathroom before she sprinkled cold water down unto her makeup, wearing Mexican makeup to a date really wasn't her best idea yet.She smiled to herself, but it was weak and rigid, she was getting lean now, something her mother would definitely not like of her.Not taking your life seriously.Her mind flashed over to Dexter again and she coughed out a groan, that man had the audacity to disgrace her. Shitty.Now, she was going on a date with a Rafael guy because her friend had suggested him, fishy, they knew something, she didn't know what.And, now, she didn't even care to know.Hurriedly, she ran out of the public toilet, still clutching her handbag as she ran down the streets down to the Mexican restaurant across the street, weird enough, but as she ran, s

    Zoey never planned her day. Never. Ever.She hated planning her day, because it never ended up well, she always reverted to what she says she would do, maybe, it was because it was part of her and she was growing to used to doing what's supposed not to be done.But, it was the beginning of a new week, and how better than to start her morning, it had went thus; she had woken up with a positive spirit- which thanks to Dexter for his amazing quote, she had made breakfast, had coffee while reading newspapers from the counter.Stroked Zora for a bit, also, figuring out, Zora was the sweetest kitten one could ever ask, well, it seems she wasn't quite in good terms with Rafael, turns out the latter was allergic to cats, she had kissed her daughter goodbye while grabbing her jacket from the rack.And for the first time. She had told Rafael goodbye when she was leaving for work, it felt good to say goodbye to someone who for once wasn't her little daughter, him hanging around in her house, may

    The next day, Zoey planned her day again, honestly, she could say it out loud, planning one's day was really the best thing one could do.But, unlike yesterday where things went really well, today went downhill, she had brushed her hair and even styled it up in a classical Hart bun, she had picked her favorite type of dress, she had poured milk for the kitten, kissed her daughter goodbye, give Rafael a hard glare, he literally finished the sugar, now, she couldn't have her normal everyday coffee.And, then, she had texted Stella to meet up in a popular donut shop at eight, but now the problem was it was damn nine, only goodness knew how much she had ran down the streets.Pushing the door, she stumbled into the donut shop, a particular pair of temperate eyes staring at her, coldly."So sorry I was late." She hauled her phone, personal working stuffs on the table, before taking in a deep breath.Stella folded her hands before scoffing gently, her eyes twinkling with a bit of humor, "Why

    Who didn't love Wednesdays? One, it was the half of the week, so it was always a good thing, right, and second. It was the day that Stella McCartney considered her alone time. Wednesday nights, doing nothing but wrapped up in her sweet sweet couch, eating popcorn, watching Netflix, or reading a romance novel she manages to buy in a really cheap price.But today, something told her she wasn't going to be spending her Wednesday alone, it was like someone was going to spend it with her, but she ignored such concept.As, she pushed the door of her house open, 8:00pm, she still had some extra time to hurriedly get changed right.Her penthouse was huge, though she lived alone, she wouldn't definitely rip it up in some shady house, never.She pushed her shoes to the entrance of the door, before she walked towards the kitchen, pouring herself a reputable amount of orange juice, she sipped contently, before hanging around the counter. After thirty minutes of playing around in the kitchen, she

    "Remind me again, why I am doing this?" Zoey followed Dexter into the restaurant, her lips parting apart in shock. Her breath tampering against her skin.He waved his hands, before staring at her figure. Was it just him or Zoey Hart was becoming more annoying. "We are meeting with my friends now." He pulled her closer, her eyes staring deathly at his."I didn't even know you had friends." Zoey strapped closer, her eyes gazing intently at his, something twitched in his muscle, his head tilting over to her."I don't have any friends." He confessed.Zoey blinked thrice."They are Sky's friends, but overtime. I learnt to be free with them, they are not really my friends." He gazed elsewhere, his eyes flashing with something she couldn't fathom. Something deep.Oh..She turned towards him immediately, before grabbing his hands, "Dexter. As long as they make you laugh, make you feel special, they are your friends, it doesn't matter whether you share them with someone else, them being Sky's

    It was Friday, hell yes...Zoey was angry, Stella had completely bailed on her, saying her house was filled with cockroaches, who lied that way? It wasn't something of surprise, Stella was too good to help her break into someone's house at 10:55pm, but she? Adventures made her stronger.She remembered when she was in college, she had simply begged Stella to go on an after night party, but the latter had ignored saying she was scared.It was fun to be scared, but not that scared, it was a good thing actually, Zoey knew she was lying, again in the morning, Rafael was no where to be seen. He had completely disappeared, so, she left Zara and her kitten, Zora in the care of Stella.Now, Zoey was presently at the gate of the house, still tucking at her phone, she had already texted Dexter in the morning, so why was he late?Her shoulders sunk lightly, why wasn't he coming? Wasn't he going to come? Something flashed in her eyes, he hadn't even taken her seriously, he was ignoring her.Zoey s

    "Why in the hell is it so stuffy in here?" Dexter whispered, his breath coming out thin, muscular, and his irresistible smell of soap."Shush it," Zoey muttered, yanking him in the elbow, letting out a shrill yell, she covered his mouth immediately. "Will you just keep the fuck off quiet?""Oh, yeah." He scoffed, before peering his eyes at the opening.The figure walked about gently, with a torchlight etched around her arms, Zoey squinted her eyes, damn. It was Violet."Is there anyone here?" Her gentle voice called out, still staring at the rack of books, she sighed, before walking over to the door. A creaking sound heard.Dexter was the first to crawl out of the table, gasping for breath. "That was the worst hide out I have ever performed in my entire life."Zoey crawled out, before yanking her hoodie aside, "Let's get out of here." She fiddled with the knob, again, and again."What's wrong?" Dexter walked over to her, staring at the door."It won't budge, she locked it." Her face p

    And, as she said she would. Zoey tagged Dexter along back to Violet's house. Weird, because they had broken into that house in the middle of the night, and now, they were back there wearing normal clothes, that weren't black, acting normal.As if she wouldn't know. Zoey was smart, but Violet was smarter. People saw her as the woman with brains, extremely smart."Okay, so we are going to act normal like nothing happened?" Dexter whispered over to Zoey, the sun hitting him lightly, much better that Violet had requested they meet under the sun, drinking pineapple juice.Zoey palmed her lips together, letting out a hush sound. "Just chill, and follow what I do. Violet isn't a devil, there's no reason to be scared of her.""Hello." Violet stood in front of them suddenly, waving her hands.Zoey shivered. Dexter let out a shrill yell."Mother-in-law." Dexter mouthed."Aunt?" Zoey called out.Violet folded her arms together, before bursting out into laughter, she took a seat on the bench, hol

  • Daddy Is A Rich CEO   Epilogue.

    One year later,Thanksgiving day.The room smelt like any other thanksgiving room, roasted turkey, cream, salad and a bunch of people sipping wine. The dinner was about to start, and soon everyone was going to be saying what they were thankful for.Zoey recounted, she didn't even know where to begin, just one year ago, her life had changed ever so much. Perfectly well, it had gone along.Dexter came into her life, Rafael stumbled in, and oh, she didn't know how, but they both loved her daughter so much, well. Zara better get used to having two overprotective fathers.Miranda, Stella and Zoey have become quite the inseparable trio, having tea on Mondays, hitting the gyms, and gossiping about their husbands.Presently, Zoey was sprawled on the bed, her hands swiping through her phone, just waiting for it to be ringing, finally it chimed. She swiped it up immediately."Stella!" She beams, cheeks pink. "How's the baby moon going? Is Mexico alright?"Stella's voice sounded so angelic from

    Two Months later."Zoey hurry! We don't want to be late for Sky's concert. Do we?" Stella yells from the bedroom, her gaze directed at the dressing room."Coming! Just trying to get the zipper on, damn, it's too hard!" Zoey yells back.Stella takes in a little giggle, and stares outside the room, the view is perfect, she could see the sun set even from here. She was having a giddy feeling today, but it didn't sum up her excitement.Today was Sky's first concert after his music block has been overcomed and he was singing his new song. People are flooding all over Los Angeles just to hear his voice, She, Zoey and the rest already got their tickets. She couldn't wait to see him sing after his music block. Excitement is washing over her. She can't wait.Zara enters the room, a smile on her face. "Aunt Stella!" She throws herself towards her."How was your night? Little Pumpkin?" Stella nudges her hair playfully, her hands moving to tickle her."It's fine." Zara scrunched her nose, before

    Even though one week had passed and everything seemed to be moving well, Zoey still felt this urge: sinking and swimming through her, prompting her to see her mother in jail, so that's why early in the morning, she got into her Sedan and drove towards the lane."What do you want?" The receptionist barked at her, her face gruff, prison was not a good place, no doubt. It smelt of stale coffee, the place looks rugged, like criminals had been jacked into this place, struggling to get inside."I want to see my mother." Zoey made to speak again, but the angry looking woman waved her off."Sorry. Kid." The woman puffed her cigar in between her hands, "But visiting hours are over, if you would please return later, I am sure you would be entertained with whoever you want to meet."The woman is really rude, no doubt, but Zoey doesn't want to leave without seeing her mother. Sometimes, your name is very important, and if using that name would get her what she wants. Then, why the heck not?She

    The whole room felt so small as Zoey ran past them, it was like oxygen was racking her spine as she counted the rooms. Her breath was short-lived, she could only pray under her breath."Zara!" She calls out, fear evident in her voice, the pain of losing her own daughter sends tears to her eyes. The hall was stretched out, too many rooms. The stairs looking back at her.She stopped at the living room, she could feel the throbbing in her head."Zara! Please come out. Please." She just stood there rooted, it was like the alarm was buzzing in her head: countdown, five, four..Sweat clanged the corner of her hair, she checked her father's study, it looked rather untouched. Her father's favorite novel, 'Rich man, poor man,' sat there elegantly on the table. Hope. It needled through her, then vanished into thin air. She called again, this time more loudly, perhaps her daughter might hear her. "Zara!" The room was eerily quiet.With lost hope, she just stood there, she would rather blow with

    The next day came rather too quickly, and like her mother used to say when she was young: You just have to face it.So, when she sprang up from the bed, she kissed Dexter on the forehead gently before heading downstairs. Rafael was by the counter making cereal for her daughter while balancing a cup of coffee on one hand."Ready for the big day, huh?" He hands her a cup, while gently pouring the milk into the bowl, Zara watches with her eyes fluttering."It's funny how you made it sound so casual." Zoey says casually, everything has been planned, they are all meeting up in her father's house. Nova, her husband, Alec and his wife, Stella and Sky. Miranda was going to meet them there.Zara shoves her spoon into the bowl, her mouth full of corn flakes. "Mother. Can I come with you? Pretty please?""Yes. Dexter and I will get the car ready, why don't Rafael pick out your dress, okay sweetheart?"She nods and focuses on her food, just by staring at her daughter makes her heart swell, the on

    In life, you could be either lucky or unlucky, but there's no such thing as luck or not luck, it's the chance we have, it's the choice we get that defines us, not our luck, that's why as Lin sat down, fiddling with the hemline of her gown, she recalled all the choices she had got to make, and one of them dealt with forgiving her husband, Asher.He was only being threatened, he just wanted to protect her. He loves her, that's why he wanted to protect, because for the person you love, you could go through extreme lengths just to make sure they were safe."Lin? Lin, are you listening to me?" Asher said, clutching the cup of coffee in one hand.She snapped out of her daydream, before staring around, waiting. What was he saying? She didn't even hear a thing."I was saying whether we should take the kids to Disneyland this year?" That was one thing she would always love about him, his ability to remember anything."But Mommy, we went to Disneyland last year!" Her seven year old daughter wai

    Stella had imagined countless things in her life, but here she was. Seating opposite her parents with Sky by her side, this time. She wasn't scared, hope brimmed in her chest, because with him she felt strong, she felt like somebody."You want to date him?" Her mother said, under those lashes of hers, her words held some kind of deep warning, "What about Doctor Rodriguez?"Her father dropped the spoon on the plate, the metallic sound filling their eyes. "Stella dear. You can't go out with him. He's not for-""I didn't come here for your approval." Her tone sent them all warning, Sky placed his hand on her shoulder, his gaze, a reassuring one. He turned towards her parents."I am Sky. Well, I dated your daughter, until you threatened me to leave her, I fell in love with her, again. I fell hard, I am still falling for her. She makes me, she completes me. I love her so much."Neither of them blinked."And I am sorry, but you can't stand in the way of our love," He breathed in, "She helpe

    Loud chattering filled the room, kids chasing each other, muttering words under their breath, some kids sprawled on the neat blue rug, playing with their toys.The kitchen linked to the living room, some adults were leaning against the island, each gripping a glass of wine. There's some muttering, no laughter here, just clear talking.Relax. Zoey's head throbbed, but she just couldn't. Dexter's hand was placed on hers, it was warm, at least that made her calm down a little, but still. She wanted to sprang up the seat, and protect those she loved, her mind reeled. To her mother's word, to Lin's words.Thankfully, Zara was talking to her cousin 'Damien', they seemed to be arguing though, but hey, it was her daughter."Everybody." Natasha clicked the glass, the whole room went silent. The kids stopped and turned to look at her, immediately she received the call, she didn't know what prompted her to call Natasha, Natasha was soothing on the other end, and they agreed to call a meeting.Li
