Entangled with my Lifelong Enemy Chapter 31: Going after him
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 37: What was that?
“There you go,” Zendaya said when she was done and this time, he looked like his normal self.“Good, now let’s go,” He stated as he threw her over his shoulder and went downstairs.“Was this really necessary?” Zendaya rolled her eyes, but she didn’t complain as she enjoyed the free ride to the car.When they got there, she noticed that there were more cars than the previous day which meant that they were going out with guards. As much as she didn’t like guards, she didn’t complain about their presence due to what had happened.“You didn't wear heels today,” Jayden remarked when they got into the car.Unlike the previous day, she was dressed casually in a pair of sneakers.“I think I'll be laying off heels for now,” she told him and he smiled.****“What's wrong, why have you been so grumpy?” Kiandra asked her husband.“It's Zendaya,” Lucas told her.“What happened to her?” “She's with Jayden Gerano?” He told his wife.“In the same mansion she's staying?” Kiandra probed and Lucas nod

“You were very cold back in there,” Zendaya stated, and Jayden squinted his eyes at her. So she had noticed and had still continued to ignore him.“I’m cold to everyone who I don’t know. You’re lucky I know you,” He asserted as he helped her adjust her coat, which had some speck of dust on it.“No, even by your own standard, you were colder than normal,” Zendaya deadpanned. She wasn’t oblivious to how Jayden treated people, but like she said, he was much colder to Anil. It was though he hated him.“I don’t like him, I guess, especially with the bullshit story he was feeding you with,” Jayden shrugged casually as he turned to enter the car. However, Zendaya stopped him from doing so, as she wasn’t done with the conversation.Pushing him to rest against the car, she stepped forward and poked his chest. “It wasn’t a bullshit story and Anil is nice,” she defended her classmate.“Just like the way you thought Matthew was nice and in love with you,” the words came out of Jayden’s mouth be

‘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
Entangled with my Lifelong Enemy Chapter 53: A troublemaker
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
