Entangled with my Lifelong Enemy Chapter 21: Waiting for the good news
‘You're a terrible liar,’ Zendaya said to him.‘That’s because I wasn't trying,’ Jayden asserted. If he wanted to lie, she wouldn't know, as he would do so effortlessly. He looked down at his phone and when he didn't see her typing, he wondered if he had said the wrong thing.However, in the next second, a call entered this phone, and he saw that it was Zendaya calling him. “So, what's your proposal?” She questioned.“There is a company crisis happening in one of the companies our families founded together,” he started.“Okay, and?” “Your father will have to either be there personally or send a representative. There’s no better way to get away from your family and prove that you're ready to get introduced to the family business,” he laid out. “But of course, the main goal will be to get away,” he concluded and there were silence from the other side of the line“I don't know if my dad will actually send me there, he's too protective of me,” Zendaya sighed. The first and important

After speaking with Jayden, Zendaya immediately headed out of her home to go see her father so she could help him win the bet.After all, he did save her yesterday and she was indebted to him.“Mom, where's dad?” She asked when she saw Kiandra. “He's in his study,” her mother told her, and she immediately headed down there.“Make sure you beat the two assholes to the point of death, but leave them alive,” she heard her father say to someone over the phone.When he saw her, he beckoned for her to sit, which she did as she waited for him to finish his phone call.From his conversation with the person she could tell that he had captured the two men who had assaulted her the previous day, and she applauded her father's team as they were fast, very fast.She wondered if they would still be tough with their bats once her father went to see them.“What is it, Zendaya?” Lucas asked his daughter.“Well, I want to request something from you,” she started, and she scratched the back of her head
Entangled with my Lifelong Enemy Chapter 23: I did it
‘I did it,’ was what Jayden read when he picked up his phone to see who had texted him.A smile appeared on his face and he heard someone gasp, and when he looked up he saw his employees staring at him with a puzzled look on their faces. He couldn't blame them for staring, as it was unusual to see him smile, and it was even more unusual for him to pick up his phone in the middle of a meeting.“I don't remember asking you to stop, go on,” he said to the employee who was giving a presentation, after which he proceeded to respond to Zendaya.‘That's good, you just won me a bet,’ Jayden responded. I owe you something, he told her, and he saw her typing in the next second.His heart was full of excitement, seeing how Zendaya was giving him fast responses, and he hoped that she wouldn't fall asleep randomly again.‘I'll hold on to that and you better fulfill my request when the time comes,’ Zendaya told him, and he bit his lips to stop himself from smiling once more. ‘Are you busy?’ She

Zendaya was the first to get there and when she did, she ordered a cup of coffee for herself.It was a private restaurant, and she had chosen this place so she wouldn't have to worry about her photo getting taken by the paparazzi or by a fan.It would cause quite an uproar if she was seen with the same man she had told the world was cheating on her and she wasn't ready for that.About five minutes later, Matthew walked into the room and he looked rough.Gone was the man she fell in love with, and in his place was a man who looked like he hadn't gotten sleep for days. Good, he deserved it, she thought to herself.“How are you doing, Zendaya?” Matthew asked her, and she rolled her eyes as she wasn't interested in exchanging pleasantries with him. All she wanted was for him to tell her what he wanted so she could get the hell out of there.“Matthew, you lost the right to ask me that when you cheated on me. So how about we cut to the chase as I have other things to do than waste my tim

“Sir, should I bring your dinner up to your room?” The head helper asked him as he returned home. It was beyond late, and he didn’t have the strength to eat.All he wanted to do was to get sleep, especially for the next day as he was departing for another state.“No, you’re dismissed for the night,” he told her and the helper nodded.“Sir, there’s an envelope on your desk in your study. Your brother sent it for you,” she informed him, referring to Arthur.“Alright,” he simply replied as he headed straight to his study to see what his cousin had left for him.The envelope was on his table, just like the helper had said, and without wasting time he ripped it open so he could see what was in it. A frown immediately appeared on his face, and his eyes darkened when he saw that they were pictures of Zendaya and Matthew.When he checked the time stamp, he saw that it was from today. Just an hour after he had told her that he would be busy.He had thought that Matthew was a closed chapter in

Jayden looked at the time, and he wondered just how many more minutes it would take for Zendaya to get there. He had gotten there hours ago, as he wanted to go to the company to get a head start of what was happening. He wanted to do this before Zendaya got there so he would be able to spend more time with her without having to be too burdened by the work. Jayden snapped out of his thoughts when he heard footsteps approaching, and his eyes came alive when he heard Myra talking to somebody whom he assumed to be Zendaya. Without wasting time, he got up just in time as he heard her ask the helper if somebody was in his room. Not giving Myra the chance to respond, he came out of the room, and the look of shock that appeared on Zendaya's face was heavenly. “What the hell are you doing here?” He heard her ask him. “You can go,” he dismissed the helper, before turning to look at Zendaya, who was glaring at him. “You look nice,” he complimented, just to annoy her further. “Don't test

“Zendaya,” she heard Jayden call out to her as he knocked on the door. She took a deep breath to calm herself down before she opened the door.“What is it?” Zendaya asked.“I'm heading to the company, are you coming?” She heard him inquire.“Yes, I'll come,” she nodded. “Give me a few seconds to get dressed.”“This isn't your outing cloth?” Jayden squinted his eyes at her as he looked at her clothes, which were already perfect in his eyes.“No, they are not,” she responded, and she closed the door. Having nothing else to do, he waited patiently for her and after ten minutes, the door opened, and she came out dressed in a white suit, topped off with a pair of white heels which were about six inches, Jayden estimated in his head “We're going to be gone for a long time, are you sure you'll be able to walk in those heels for hours?” he couldn't help but ask, and Zendaya wondered if he had come there to help her or annoy her.“Do you want me to show you what I can do in these heels?” She

Zendaya's eyes slowly fluttered open, and she rubbed it as she yawned. It took a few seconds for her to realize that she wasn't in her room and when she turned to see what she had been sleeping against, she saw it was Jayden.“Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry,” Zendaya quickly apologized as she sat straight, after which she subtly checked to see if she had drooled on his clothes.Thankfully, she hadn't, and she heaved a sigh of relief as she hadn't. “Welcome back, you know, watching you sleep made me realize that you’d be an amazing CEO,” she heard Jayden say, and she knew he was being sarcastic.“It’s my first day on the job,” she defended herself. “I wasn’t lazy on my first day,” Jayden retorted, and she cursed under her breath.“Did you find anything?” Zendaya inquired, changing the subject, and Jayden hummed in affirmation. But before we talk about that, Matthew texted you,” Jayden started the conversation he had been wanting to have.“He did?” Zendaya commented as she grabbed the

‘Friends,’ she accepted without thinking too much about it. It was the first time Jayden was extending an olive branch to her, and she wasn't ready to go back to the way they were before he left.‘Good choice. If you had rejected my offer I would have started thinking of fulfilling my promise of destroying you,’ he told her, and she wasn't surprised as she knew Jayden.‘So predictable,’ she sent in response. Her heart dropped when she heard a sound from behind her, and she quickly hid her phone while turning to see what it was. There was nobody behind her, she waited for a few seconds, but she saw nothing. It must have been the air, she thought to herself as she turned to look back at her phone.A gasp escaped from her lips when she saw Jayden’s face staring at her. “What are you doing on my phone?” she asked him.“You video called me,” Jayden told her. “Oh,” she mumbled. She must have done so by accident when she jumped up in fear.“Well, bye,” she bid as she proceeded to disconne

Jayden had just come out of the shower when he heard his phone ring. Wrapping a towel around his waist, he walked up to it, and he picked it up. He saw that it was his father calling him. Wondering what the old man was calling him for, he answered it. “Dumong is dead,” Justin informed him bluntly. “And right now I suggest you stay far away from Zendaya as her father is not happy with you,” Justin told his son and this made Jayden realize that his father had told Lucas about all that happened“When is he ever not?” Jayden rolled his eyes. Lucas Valencia didn't like him, and he had never bothered to hide that fact, so him being angry with him wasn't a new thing.“Is it too late to choose a new girl? I mean, there is this nice girl I met and…”“Goodnight Dad,” Jayden wished his father before Justin could complete his words.He dressed quickly, slipping into a T-shirt and sweatpants before grabbing his phone again. Without wasting time, he immediately proceeded to text Zendaya as he wa

“Let’s agree to disagree,” Justin stated.“No, there’s nothing to disagree on. Your son is the troublemaker out of the two!” Lucas persisted, and Justin massaged his temple as he wondered why his son had to choose Lucas’ daughter.From the way Lucas was behaving, he could tell the latter was afraid that his daughter would fall for Jayden, and he didn’t want that to happen. Too bad there was nothing he could do to stop it from happening, Justin thought to himself.The two men turned to look at the man who was tied up when he groaned. It took a few seconds for him to regain consciousness and when he did, his eyes widened in horror upon seeing the two devils from his past.“Welcome back,” Lucas greeted the man.“Please, I promise I won't do it again,” Dumong immediately started pleading for his life, begging for mercy.“Come on, Dumong. Last time we gave you a chance and didn't kill you and look at how you tried to repay us,” Justin spoke as he walked up to his tool table and grabbed

After leaving Justin's house, he had made up his mind to come see his daughter as he needed to know what was going on. The excuse Jayden had given for changing the guards didn't sit well with him as he assumed it to be a lie, which was why he had called for his private jet, and they had left at the crack of dawn. It wasn't as though he didn't trust his daughter, it was Jayden he had the issue with as he was nothing but trouble just like his father. “Dad?” Zendaya’s voice broke him out of his thoughts and he turned to face her. “Why are you here?” “You weren't speaking to me, and so I had to come see for myself,” he stated just as Kiandra walked up to them and in her hands was a plate of food as she was not bothered. “I'm just here because he dragged me along,” Kiandra told her daughter. When she had tried to convince her husband to stay back, he carried her into the car with the intention of showing her she was wrong. “We were going to come back home today, there was no need to

However, all didn’t go as planned as when Juliette called her to give her an update, it was bad news.“Zendaya, the plan went downhill. My dad didn’t check the presentation, and he asked Jayden to present it in front of the investors.”“What?!” She yelled as the colour drained from her face. What was in that flash-drive was not only embarrassing but, in front of investors, it made one look unserious.“Did he lose the deal?” Zendaya asked the burning question, and she heaved a sigh of relief when Juliette answered in the negative.“However, dad isn’t very happy, and he’s sending Jayden away,” Juliette however informed her.“He is just mad, he’ll change his mind,” was what she had responded with. Zendaya naturally assumed that Justin just made that decision in anger, as he had said so before and didn’t follow through.However, she realized he had not been joking. When she realized this, she intended to come clean about what had happened, but her father stopped her from doing so.Accord

“Alright, fine, I’ll help you,” Juliette agreed and Zendaya smiled in excitement. “But if you get caught, I’m throwing you under the bus,” she gave a heads-up and Zendaya had no problem with that.“So, what do you intend to do to him?” Juliette inquired.“Jayden likes his reputation a lot and so, I intend to humiliate him the same way he does to me,” Zendaya stated. “Don’t worry, it just won’t be in public,” she assured Juliette. Even though she was revenge-filled, she knew she would feel guilty if she humiliated Jayden in front of others who weren't family.“Okay, that seems fair, just let me know what I need to do,” Juliette told her.“Don’t forget me as well, you know your other best friend,” a third voice came from inside the room and the remaining two shrieked in horror as they turned their attention to the bed, where the voice had come from.“Hi, guys,” Anaya said as she sat up on the bed.“How long have you been there for?” Zendaya was the first to speak. She had been wonderi

“Why does it feel like you’ve changed so much?” Zendaya asked Jayden after a decent amount of time had gone by. They were currently sitting on a log of wood, watching the lake and everything around it. The atmosphere felt serene, and she tried her luck to know if he would give her an honest answer.“I have?” Jayden raised an eyebrow and Zendaya nodded in affirmation.“For starters, even though you’re still mean to me, it’s not like before,” she stated.She didn’t cry as much and her life was somewhat peaceful around him. Unlike before when she would constantly look over her shoulder in fear of what he would do next.“I still do not see it,” Jayden shrugged. He knew what she was talking about, however, he wanted to hear it from her perspective.“You didn’t take revenge on me like you promised before you left,” Zendaya pointed out, and a smile appeared on his face as he remembered what he had told her before she left.“You deserved it,” he told her, and she shook her head.“No I didn’t

“Are we not going back home?” Zendaya inquired when she saw that he didn’t take the turning to the mansion.“No, there’s somewhere I discovered, and I would like to show it to you,” Jayden told her, and she squinted her eyes suspiciously at him.“What? Why are you staring like you don’t trust me?” He chuckled.“Because I don’t. Every time you've taken me somewhere to ‘show’ me something, it always ends bad for me and good for you,” Zendaya pointed out.“True, but that was in the past, and I’m a changed person,” Jayden defended himself.“No, you still bully me,” Zendaya refuted his claim.“That is true, but even you can’t deny that I’m not as bad as before.”“I’m glad you knew you were bad.” She turned to look outside the window when they arrived at the edge of a forest. With what had happened days ago, she felt the memories flooding in and goosebumps crept up her spine.“Jayden, what are we doing here?” she turned to face him as the colour drained from her face.“Do you trust me?” Ja

“I checked there as soon as I noticed it was gone. It wasn’t there,” Zendaya scratched her head as she wondered when she had dropped the card.“Keep searching, you'll find it,” Jayden assured her as he turned his attention to the road.“Yes, I’ve been meaning to ask you, why is my middle name your password?” It had been something she had been shocked to find out about but at that time, she couldn’t ask him due to the danger they were in and after that, she forgot about it.“It’s hard to guess,” Jayden responded.“There are a million other things that are hard to guess, it didn’t have to be my middle name,” Zendaya retorted.“It’s just a name, Eleanor, nothing more, nothing less,” Jayden shrugged casually, and she frowned over him calling her by her middle name.“Not to me, change it, I don’t want you using my name,” Zendaya deadpanned.“Ok, fine, I’ll change it,” Jayden told her just to get her off his back. If he was going to change it, it would be either to her first name or her d
