“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
Jayden paced around Zendaya's room anxiously waiting for her to come out, but it had been hours, and she hadn't come out yet.It would be a lie if he said he wasn't nervous to go talk to her, as he knew she was in a really bad mood due to what he has said.He hadn't meant to insult her by mentioning Matthew, but he was trying to tell her that she should be careful of whom she trusted or opened up to. His words had just come out wrongly.As he thought about the matter, he found it rather strange that Anil showed up out of nowhere. He hardly believed in coincidences, and you didn't think it was a coincidence that the guy had showed up to the same coffee shop Zendaya had entered.Without wasting his time, he brought out his phone to call Lan. “I need you to find out everything you can about Anil Loran.”He said to his head of security after the latter had answered his call. He came distracted when he heard the sounds of footsteps approaching him. Upon turning, he found Myra coming to h
“I ruined your shirt,” Zendaya stated as she backed away. She didn’t have it in her to feel embarrassed about the fact that she had cried in front of Jayden. “It’s just a shirt,” he brushed off as he reached out and used his thumb to wipe the tears off her cheeks. Zendaya tensed due to what he did, and she felt her stomach tie in a knot once more while her cheeks turned red.Jayden stared at the woman in front of him. He remembered asking himself if what he felt towards her was a mistake or just lust. The answer was always the same.He didn't just want her, he needed her. He always felt his entire body come alive with just the simplest things she would do, and it had never been so with any other woman.Whenever he was with other women, he found himself unable to stand them except if it was purely for his pleasure, but with Zendaya, it was different, and he knew why.His bulge suddenly hardened just by looking at her, and he cursed his body for reacting like that in such a serious si
Without wasting time, he turned to leave, but Zendaya held his hand as her chest heaved up and down due to how heavy she was breathing.Jayden smiled without turning to face her. She was either scared to go ahead or just being stubborn.Either way, she needed the push, and he was more than happy to give it to her. She was the reason he had gone a long time without getting intimate with anymore and unlike others who were strictly to help him achieve his sexual climax, it was different with Zendaya as all she had to do was breathe, and he would feel himself getting turned on.“Yes?” He raised his eyebrows when he turned to face her.“I-i,” Zendaya stuttered as she struggled to get the words out. She wasn't drunk this time, and so there would be no excuse if she decided to go on with what she had in mind.Jayden’s your enemy and your friend's brother! The rational part of herself screamed, but she paid no attention to it. “You what?” He tilted his head at her.“No strings attached!” Sh
'Fuck, love!” Jayden cursed as his body clenched tightly, already aching hard. He had planned on torturing her by taking things extremely slow till she was begging for him to fuck her wildly, but that was punishment for him as well.He immediately backed away and unbuckled his pants, quickly removing everything else, leaving him naked.It was Zendaya's turn to let her eyes feast on his body, and Jayden felt more aroused when her eyes stopped at his standing member down there. The fact that her eyes widened in horror made him smile.He immediately crawled back on top of her to run his palm down at the centre of her chest and then on every part of her body.“Jayden, please just do it,” she moaned as the heat of desire was consuming her whole body just because of his touch, and it was torture. “Not so fast, love” Jayden hushed as he continued to caress her body, running his palm further south across her stomach.This time, it was not only his palm, but his lips that moved on her body a
After he was done thoroughly licking her juices, he came back up and went straight to her neck. “You're driving me insane, and I can't hold myself any longer.”When he raised his head to look at his work, he smiled on seeing the hickey on her neck. The mark that clearly showed she was his and his alone. He then proceeded to seal her lips into a passionate kiss once again. No matter how much he kissed her, he couldn't get enough.Zendaya could taste herself on his lips, but she did not mind as that was coupled with Jayden's tender lips and his sweetness.“Jayden,” she called and he answered.“Please just put it in me,” she pleaded, not caring about the fact that she sounded desperate. He had mentioned reaching his limits, but he still didn't do anything about it.“As my queen wishes,” he stated as he positioned himself in between her legs.“This might hurt a bit,” he informed her as he slowly started to make his way into her. He felt Zendaya's nails pierce into his back, and she bit
Matthew sighed as he made his way into his apartment. He had received yet another rejection for the job he applied for, and he ran his fingers through his hair roughly. Zendaya wasn't responding to his texts and this made him on edge as she was the only one who could bring him out of the hell he was living in. If things didn’t change, he would have to move out of the luxurious apartment, as he wouldn’t have the money to finance it. “Hello, Matthew,” he heard someone say to him, and he quickly turned on the light so he could see who it was. His mouth dropped wide open when he saw that it was Kiandra seated on the sofa in the living room. There was something that always unnerved him about Zendaya’s mother, and he couldn’t quite figure out what it was. Maybe it was the fact that there was more that met the eyes when it came to the matron of the Valencia family. As opposed to her husband, she seemed calm and nice, but there was something that told him she wasn’t as she presented
‘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
