Entangled with my Lifelong Enemy Chapter 50: Getting back
“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

“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

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

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

“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

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

‘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

Matthew sat alone in his dimly lit living room, and he massaged his temples. He stared at his phone, the screen still glowing with all the messages he had sent to Zendaya that had gone unread.Why was she doing this when she had told him she would give him another chance? He reread the last message she had sent to him ages ago, each time the sting of her rejection settled deeper. His fingers hovered over the screen as if he were waiting for something to change, waiting for her to change her mind. But nothing. No response. The fact that he didn't even know if Zendaya was reading his messages and choosing to ignore or didn't read them at all.He had been fooling himself, thinking that Zendaya would come back to him like she always did whenever they had a fight. He had played the scenario when everything would be over in his mind so many times, each version ending with her running into his arms, forgiveness in her eyes. But the reality was harsh. Zendaya wasn’t coming back. She wasn’

“Hi, stranger” Levi shot back, ruffling her hair. “Your hair is ugly, let me make it better?”“Levi, I'm going to kill you,” she hissed as she struggled to break free. This was something she definitely didn't miss. He was another person who bullied her consistently.“Stop troubling your sister and get in,” Lucas ordered his son, and Levi immediately let go of his father's precious daughter.“I swear one of these days I'm going to…” Zendaya was unable to complete her words as Levi placed a finger over her lips.“You talk too much,” was all he said before getting into the car.‘Brute,’ Zendaya muttered under her breath as she also entered the car.“You came all the way to get me, you missed me didn't you,” Levi smirked at his father who chuckled.“Keep talking and keep digging your own grave,” was all Lucas said in response, and that was more than enough to get her younger brother to shut up.If there was anyone who could control her brother, it was her father, and it was nice to see th

When Zendaya arrived at her house, her heart dipped when she found her father's car already in her driveway.She took deep breaths to calm herself down before she stepped through the front door, her heart pounding in her chest. When she got to the living room, Lucas was sitting on the couch, and he had a coffee mug in his hand.“Good morning,” he greeted, his voice steady, but due to the secrets she was hiding, it felt like he was already accusing her. “Where were you all night?”Her breath hitched, but she stayed in her spot, as she didn't want to make him suspicious. ‘Have I told you just how much of a terrible liar you are,’ Jayden’s words about her echoed in her, and she frowned a bit as it was time to prove him wrong.She was an actress and so lying should be something that was easy as it was no different from acting.“I was at Anaya’s,” she replied. “We stayed up late working on something, and I figured it was easier to just crash there.”“Are you sure?!” She heard her father

“My dad’s going to the house,” Zendaya blurted.Jayden frowned as he didn't quite get Zendaya. “Wait, you mean your house? The one miles away from here?”“Yes!” she nodded and she started pacing the room. “If he finds out I’m not there, he’ll start asking questions. I can’t let them know I was here, especially not with you.” “What’s so bad about them finding out you’re with me? I’m a great person,” he remarked.“Jayden!” she snapped, glaring at him. “This isn’t a joke.”“Alright, alright,” he said, holding up his hands in surrender. “Why didn't you just tell him that you were with Juliette or Anaya?” He rolled his eyes. “I panicked, okay!” Zendaya responded as she ran her finger through her roughly. “Relax. We’ll figure it out. First things first—we need to get you home without them suspecting anything?”Zendaya’s mind raced as she tried to formulate a plan. Whatever happened, she couldn’t let her father know about Jayden, or he would kill him and then her.Jayden pushed himself o
Entangled with my Lifelong Enemy Chapter 75: He's going home
Zendaya's eyes slowly fluttered open and she was hit with the faint morning light coming in through the balcony of the room. The storm had finally stopped but the effects were still there as the morning was chilly. She yawned and proceeded to turn with the intention of getting up but she couldn't as she found herself being weighed down by something.It took her a moment to realize what it was and then her heart leaped over the sight of it.Jayden’s arm was draped over her and his body was pressed lightly against hers. His even breaths fanned against the top of her head, and she could feel the steady rise and fall of his chest which made her freeze, as she was unsure whether to move or stay perfectly still.Her heart didn't waste any time racing, and butterflies fluttered in her stomach.What was this feeling? Why did it feel…right? She bit her lip, trying not to make any sudden movements, as she didn't want to wake Jayden, who seemed to be enjoying his sleep.This wasn't the first
Entangled with my Lifelong Enemy Chapter 74: Goodnight
Subconsciously, at the back of Zendaya’s mind, she was happy to have fallen asleep, but that happy feeling didn’t last very long as a particularly loud crack of thunder startled her awake.She clutched her heart which was pounding in her chest and she ran her fingers through her hair roughly as she looked around the room. It was pitch black and she gulped as it felt like someone was watching her. The room didn’t feel so cozy anymore.She sat up and turned on the lamp. The fact that she was unfamiliar with the room, combined with the storm which refused to stop and the mansion’s eerie aura, made her stomach twist and unlike when it had twisted when she was in front of Jayden, it was due to unease this time.Without thinking, Zendaya threw the blanket aside and she got off the bed. Grabbing her phone, her bare feet made its way against the cold floors to Jayden’s room. When she got to his room, she hesitated for a moment outside his door, her hand hovering over the doorknob. She didn’

“Maybe,” she agreed in a soft voice. However, Jayden let himself wonder what it would be like if things were different. “Oh good, it's finally over,” Zendaya exclaimed when the movie finally ended and the credits started rolling across the screen. She stretched slightly, her muscles stiff “You look like you’re about to pass out,” he remarked with a small smileZendaya yawned as she nodded, “Thanks for the observation. You really do observe people.”Jayden chuckled softly and in the next instant, he bent and carried in his arms, bridal style, catching her off guard. “Jayden, what are you doing?” She asked him, but she wrapped her hands around his neck. “Carrying a tired Clownhead to her room, he said as he turned and headed to the stairs. Zendaya didn't bother to argue, as she loved the feeling of him carrying her. “This is your room,” Jayden said, stopping in front of a door near the end of the hall. He pushed it open to reveal a cozy but simple room. It was so plain, she itch
Entangled with my Lifelong Enemy Chapter 72: Different circumstances
Zendaya froze as she couldn't believe what was happening. Jayden was kissing her! She yelled in her head, and she was enjoying it way more than she was supposed to.She didn't know when she closed her eyes and melted into the kiss. Jayden invaded all of her senses and all she could do was let him take the lead and do what he wanted to do to her.Jayden realized this, and he bit her lips softly which made her gasp, and he used the opportunity to slide into her mouth.Fuck, she tasted sweet, he thought to himself as he explored further. This was a place he could gladly die in, and he felt his body screaming for more as it had been a while since he last had his release all thanks to the woman he was kissing.He was sure that if he pushed further, Zendaya wouldn't reject him as he had her wrapped around his finger.However, he refused to give in to that demand as there were a lot of things that still needed to be discussed.With that, he reluctantly broke the kiss, and he rested his head
Entangled with my Lifelong Enemy Chapter 71: Let me help you
The tension in the room was so thick at that point that it could cut through anything.Zendaya could feel her heart pounding in her ears, and her breathing quickened, much to her horror. Jayden wasn’t supposed to know just how much he was affecting her, and she considered it embarrassing, as he wasn’t even affected by her.Jayden didn’t move, didn’t speak, but the way he looked at her was enough to make her want to run out of there, not minding if it was into the storm she was scared of.Her mind raced, searching for an escape, but at the same time, some part of her didn’t want one, she liked the thrill of what Jayden was doing and what gave her. It was shocking to see how they had gone from him showing her around the mansion to sharing pasta in a dimly lit kitchen to their current situation.“Stop pretending like you don’t feel anything,” she heard Jayden say to her, and she gulped as she felt her stomach twist into a knot.Blinking, she thought of something to say, but nothing cam
Entangled with my Lifelong Enemy Chapter 70: Making the first move
Jayden didn’t say anything else for a moment, but his eyes were still on her, and she knew she could feel them, even if she didn’t look directly at him. There was something in the way his gaze lingered, as though he was sizing her up. Plus, why did his stare feel so different? Usually when he looked at her, she could feel the hatred emitting from his stare, but she couldn't feel it anymore.The tension was subtle, and it felt like there was a silent conversation happening between them, one she wasn’t sure she was prepared for.And then, as if sensing her discomfort, Jayden leaned back into the couch, crossing his arms behind his head in a relaxed manner. “I never knew you were scared of storms? Have you always been scared of them, or did something happen?” he asked casually.Zendaya hesitated as she didn't know how to respond. She was scared but she didn't want to admit her fear as the incident surrounding it wasn't nice, but at the same time, she didn't want to lie to him either.
