Entangled with my Lifelong Enemy Chapter 29: The sins of the father
It was true that he was allergic to eggs in whatever form that they came in, boiled, scotched, fried, any form.He however didn’t think that Zendaya would stop eating eggs because of him. “Wait, so why did you put eggs in your sandwich back when we were younger?” He squinted his eyes at her. The incident was one that brought bad memories as he remembered how his face had become swollen after stealing her food.“It was revenge for what you did at my tenth birthday and don’t act like you don’t remember,” she hissed at him and Jayden chuckled as he reminisced about the past.Just like Zendaya had said, it was her tenth birthday and her parents had decided to throw a huge party for her, and they invited a lot of people including his two sisters. Knowing of the unending rivalry between Zendaya and Jayden, his mother wanted him to stay at home. However, Kiandra didn't want him to feel left out, and so she made Jasmine change her mind, which was a big mistake.He remembered how happy he w

“That was one of the greatest meals I ever had,” Zendaya remarked as she and Jayden made their way out of the restaurant. She was beyond full, and she had no regrets for over eating and surpassing her targeted calorie intake for the day. She would make up for it when she exercised next.“I can tell by how heavy you are,” Jayden rolled his eyes and Zendaya frowned. She was currently on his back as he carried her to the car. With how full she was and the heels she was wearing, there was no way she could make it back to the car, which was why she didn't think twice before accepting his offer to carry her.It was the first time it was happening, and she was shocked Jayden had been considerate enough to offer it.“I'm not heavy,” she cried out. “Are you the one carrying you or me?” She heard him say to her, and she hissed under her breath, as she rested her head on his shoulder.Jayden was grateful she couldn't see his face, which was bright and not the stoic expression he carried all d

Zendaya closed her eyes in fear as she heard the car hit various trees out of the way. After what felt like forever, the car stopped and the airbags deployed. She slowly opened her eyes to look at Jayden who was breathing heavily. “Are you hurt?” he inquired and she shook her head.“Are you?” She inquired as she examined him. He had protected her and she had no clue if he had done the same for himself.“Yes I am. Can you walk?” Without wasting time, he grabbed her phone as she was still with his and her bag as it contained her important things. He then collected his phone and placed it in her bag as well as hers so they wouldn't get wet.“Yes I can.”“Good, now get out of the car and quickly,” he instructed her as he unbuckled her seatbelt. She immediately did as she asked and he followed suit. The rain came down on them in full force but they didn't pay any attention to it.“Come with me,” he stretched his hands to her and she rushed to take it after which he led her away from th

“Okay, boys, you got me,” Jayden lifted his hand in surrender when he saw that he had been surrounded by the goons who were chasing him.At least, he had managed to lead them away from Zendaya, but what the hell was taking Lan so long? He hissed under his breath.Pending the time when Lan would get there, he decided to engage the men in a little discussion. “So where’s the leader?” he inquired, as he knew the men who had been chasing him were merely goons. Just as he spoke, he saw a man approaching him, and he had an umbrella over his head to prevent the rain from touching him.Bingo! Jayden muttered in his head.“Jayden Gerano, it is an honour to finally meet you,” the man said and Jayden squinted his eyes at the man, trying to see if he knew him, but he didn’t, and he was sure as he didn’t forget faces.“So, to what do I owe this pleasure to, seeing as we’ve never met,” he asked, and he saw the man’s face light up with a smile.“Well, I had to come and pay my respects in person,”

After she had knocked the goon unconscious, she paused when she heard footsteps approaching. Even though it was heavily raining, she still heard it as her senses were heightened all thanks to the dangerous situation.“Ma’am?” She heard someone say to her and when she turned she found a man standing in front of her and behind him were at least twenty more people.“Who are you?” Zendaya asked cautiously.“Lan,” the man answered, and Zendaya heaved a sigh of relief. Thank God she hadn’t left her bag back in the cave, as it was due to that they were able to get her exact location. “Get her some shoes!” Lan then ordered his men when he noticed that she wasn’t wearing shoes. Before his boss had come there, he had made it clear that their utmost priority was protecting Zendaya and that he would have his and his men’s head if there was so much as a scratch on her.“What took you so long?!” Zendaya hissed in annoyance and without waiting for the shoes to be brought, she turned and started r

“What the hell took you so long?” Jayden chided as he stared at the man who had raised his hand in surrender.“The rain didn’t make things easy for us, sir,” Lan responded, and Jayden cocked his gun to show that he wasn’t satisfied with the answer.“Jayden, give me the gun!” He heard Zendaya say to him, and he frowned as she was putting him in a difficult spot. He didn’t want to listen to her, but at the same time, she was his weak spot, and he didn’t want to disrespect her in front of his men.“You’re lucky, she’s here. You won’t be next time,” he growled as he handed the gun to Zendaya, who sighed satisfactorily. Without saying anything else to Lan, Jayden grabbed her arm and led her to where the leader was. His men had been smart enough not to kill him, and this made him smile satisfactorily.“Hello Dumong,” he greeted the man, whose eyes widened in horror over the fact that Jayden knew who he was.“You knew all along?” was all he said.“Of course I knew,” Jayden responded. “I’d

“Let’s get you changed out of those wet clothes,” Jayden stated as he took her up to her room.“You also need to get changed out of your clothes, now go before you catch a cold,” she told him when they reached her room. He had been putting her before himself and it was time he took care of his own needs.“Okay,” Jayden responded as he left her room.Zendaya didn’t waste any time in changing out of her wet clothes into very thick clothes, as she was close to freezing. As soon as she was done, she headed to Jayden’s room to see if he was taking care of himself.Just as she got to his room, the door opened, and she paused in her steps as she didn’t expect that. “Zendaya, why haven’t you dried your hair yet?” Jayden frowned in disapproval as he stared at her golden blond hair, something she had gotten from her father.“W-well,” Zendaya scratched her head. How was she supposed to explain that it was because she was worried about him?“Come in,” Jayden told her as he reached out and pulled

“How do you know my medication?” She asked him, refusing to get distracted by his words.“You told me about them, but you’re always too drunk to remember,” he responded as her grabbed her hand and placed it in it.Zendaya didn’t know if that was the truth but like he said she didn’t remember what she did whenever she was drunk and so there was no way for her to refute his claim.“Use it,” Jayden told her as he turned and went out of the room.When he stepped out, he immediately headed down to his study as he needed to make a call to his father and he didn’t want to be distracted.Closing the door, he brought out his phone to call Justin, and it took some time for Justin to answer as it was two in the morning.“Boy, it’s two in the morning, why are you calling me?” His father’s voice came on when he answered the call.“If you’re beside mom, leave, it’s important,” he told his father and he heard the shuffling of clothes indicating that his father was getting out of bed.“Hold on, let m

Entangled with my Lifelong Enemy Chapter 138: The End
Two Months LaterThe Gerano mansion was buzzing with energy as the family and other well-wishers gathered to celebrate Jayden's birthday. The air was filled with laughter, music, and the clinking of glasses as the sun began to set. Jayden stood near the center of the room, talking to friends when he caught sight of Lucas approaching him.“Excuse me,” he said to the men he was talking to and he walked towards Lucas.“Enjoying the party?” Jayden asked with a smirk.Lucas shot him a look, which showed that he had been forced to be there probably by his wife and daughter. “I still don't like you. Don’t push it,” he warned.Jayden pouted as he pretended to be sad. “Don’t say that father-in-law,” he said and he had to stifle his laughter at the horrified expression Lucas always gave whenever he called him that. After he was discharged from the hospital, he and Lucas sat down to have a chat about Zendaya and his relationship.Lucas' words were simple, “Hurt her and you die.”He wondered w
Entangled with my Lifelong Enemy Chapter 137: Face it together
Jayden's losing consciousness lingered in Zendaya's mind as Lucas led her out of the dark, suffocating room. Her heart pounded as she hoped Jayden was okay. “Get an ambulance here immediately!” Justin barked at an officer as they exited the building.Zendaya stumbled slightly, her legs weak from exhaustion and fear. Lucas caught her, steadying her with a reassuring hand on her shoulder.“You’re safe now,” Lucas said gently.“But Jayden…” Zendaya whispered, her eyes never leaving Justin’s retreating figure as he carried Jayden toward an ambulance that had just arrived.“He’ll be fine,” Lucas assured her. “You need to rest as well.”Paramedics rushed to Justin, quickly taking Jayden onto a stretcher.Blood seeped through his bandages, and Zendaya’s stomach churned at the sight. She tried to follow, but Lucas held her back.“You need to get checked too,” Lucas insisted, gesturing to another paramedic who was approaching her.“No,” Zendaya protested, shaking her head. “I need to go wit

The deafening sound of the gunshot echoed through the room, and Zendaya braced herself for the end. But to her surprise, she felt no pain. Slowly, she opened her eyes, her heart pounding in her chest.Anil stood frozen, his eyes wide with shock. And her mouth fell open when she saw that he had been shot in the shoulder. Regardless, he proceeded to shoot her once again and another shoot to his legs brought him down on his knees."Step away from her!" a familiar voice roared with anger as he stepped into the room.It was Jayden. He looked disheveled, and her heart bled when she saw his physical condition. “Jayden?” Zendaya called her voice a mix of relief and disbelief.Anil snarled, raising his gun to fire, but Jayden didn’t hesitate. Another shot rang out, and this time, it was to his palm.Anil groaned in the weapon slipping from his grasp and Jayden kicked it away as he then pounced on Anil.“Jayden, he'll die,” Zendaya stated when Anil had turned into a bleeding mess.Her words
Entangled with my Lifelong Enemy Chapter 135: Goodbye, Zendaya
Zendaya’s head throbbed as she slowly opened her eyes. She saw she was in a dark room and a frown appeared on her face. Her body ached as she tried to move, only to find herself bound to a chair. Her wrists were tied tightly behind her back, the coarse rope digging into her skin as she moved. Panic immediately set in as she struggled, her breaths quick and shallow.The faint creak of a door opening sent chills down her spine as she turned in the direction of where the sound had come from. “Who’s there?” she demanded, her voice hoarse. “What do you want?”The figure didn’t respond immediately, stepping closer until the overhead light flickered on. The sudden brightness made her wince, but when her eyes adjusted, her blood ran cold as she saw who was in front of her.“Anil?” she whispered in disbelief.He stood before her, a cruel smile on his face that sent shivers down her spine. He looked different his usually composed demeanor replaced with something sinister and there was a

The fluorescent lights of the hospital hallway greeter Jasmine and Justin rushed toward the ER, their steps hurried and frantic. The receptionist’s voice on the phone had been calm but grave when she’d informed them of Jayden’s accident. Jasmine’s heart hadn’t stopped pounding since as her mind conjured every worst-case scenario about Jayden and how he was doing. Justin walked beside her, his face pale and tight with worry.“What do they mean someone hit him and then disappeared?” Jasmine muttered, her voice trembling. “Who does that? Who leaves someone on the road like that?”Justin placed a hand on her back, and he rubbed it gently. Though his expression was grim. “We’ll find out. Let’s focus on Jayden first.”The moment they reached the nurse’s station, a staff member gestured them toward a private room. “He’s stable,” the nurse reassured them quickly, seeing the panic etched on their faces, and it made them calm down a bit. “The doctors did a thorough examination, and his in
Entangled with my Lifelong Enemy Chapter 133: It's a trap
Jayden drove aimlessly through the city, the steady hum of the car engine doing little to drown out the storm raging in his mind. As he remembered his father’s revelation, he felt suffocated. His hands clenched the steering wheel with such intensity that his knuckles turned white, and the faint creak of the leather beneath his grip was the only sound competing with his labored breathing.Jasmine isn’t my mother.The thought repeated itself over and over, echoing in his mind. He couldn’t believe it. She was the woman who had raised him, loved him, been there for him through every high and low. She wasn’t his real mother.Every memory of her felt tainted now, overshadowed by the truth. The fact that they had hid it from him for all of his life and probably wouldn’t have told him had the article not come out was a slap to his face.The betrayal hit him in waves, each one stronger than the last. Why hadn’t they told him? Why had they waited until the news forced their hand? He thoug
Entangled with my Lifelong Enemy Chapter 132: The truth revealed
Jayden drove home in a haze, his hands gripping the steering wheel, and he imagined his being someone's neck. He subconsciously tightened his grip on the steering wheel until his knuckles turned white. The article, the headline that Jasmine wasn’t his real mother, echoed in his mind. His mind struggled to make sense of it, but something deep inside him was beginning to put two and two together, and something began to shift. ‘You’re being unreasonable,’ he muttered to him as he shut those thoughts out of his head. The drive home felt longer than it should have been, and when he finally arrived at the mansion, the weight of it all pressed heavily on his chest. As he entered the house, a strange sense of heaviness hit him. It was more than just the eerie quiet that settled over everything; there was something palpable in the air. “Your parents are in their room, sir.” The helper who opened the door informed him. Jayden nodded, his heart pounding harder as he made his way up
Entangled with my Lifelong Enemy Chapter 131: The article
Zendaya stirred awake, the first rays of sunlight peeking through the curtains. The room was warm, and the faint smell of Jayden lingered in the air, a mix of his cologne and something undeniably him. Opening her eyes, she blinked a few times before turning her head to see Jayden sleeping beside her, his face relaxed and peaceful.Her lips curled into a soft smile as she took in the sight of him. He was lying on his stomach, the sheets were around his waist, leaving his broad back and a glimpse of his toned arms on display to her.His dark hair was messy, sticking up in different directions from her fingers running through it last night.Last night. Her cheeks warmed at the memory.Last night, he’d truly proven he was a beast, just as he’d promised. The passion, the fire, the way he’d driven her to the edge over and over, it left her breathless just thinking about it and the heat rushed to her legs even though he was sore. A smile appeared on her face as she brushed her fingers o
Entangled with my Lifelong Enemy Chapter 130: Unexpected twist
The room was dimly lit, the only source of illumination being the faint glow from a laptop screen on a cluttered desk. .Papers and files were scattered, some bearing Jayden’s name in bold letters. The two men stood on opposite sides of the room, their faces partially hidden.The taller man paced, his hands shoved deep into his pockets as his mind raced. He finally stopped, turning to face his boss, who was seated behind the desk.“We’ve got something big,” the taller man said, his voice laced with excitement and malice. “Something that’ll change everything, boss.”The boss didn’t respond immediately. He leaned back in his chair, his sharp eyes narrowing as he studied the man before him. “What is it?” he asked, his tone calm but deadly.The taller man hesitated for a moment before stepping forward and placing a file on the desk. “It’s about Jayden,” he said, tapping the file with a finger. “Something that has been hidden.”The boss arched a brow, his interest piqued. He opened the
