Entangled with my Lifelong Enemy Chapter 55: Friends
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’

The next morning.Zendaya’s eyes fluttered open when she felt the bright light hit her. Her eyes widened in shock when she realized that she wasn’t in her room on her bed, but on the sofa in the living room.Proceeding to get up, she groaned as her neck felt stiff from sleeping in an awkward position. ‘I’m never sleeping here again,’ she muttered to herself as she twisted her neck.She blinked a few times to let her eyes adjust to the light, and a yawn escaped from her lips. ‘What had led her to fall asleep on the sofa?’ she asked herself, and the events of the previous night rushed back to her head; Jayden's texts, their late-night banter, and his teasing as they watched a movie together. She frowned slightly, remembering how she had fallen asleep without ending the video call, or had she? She wondered as she picked up her phone to checked.The call went further than the minutes she remembered, and the colour drained from her face over the fact that Jayden had watched her sleep.S

“Zendaya Valencia!” he roared, his voice echoing in the room, and she gulped. “Care to explain why you lied to me, continuously?” Zendaya froze. She opened her mouth, but no words came out. Her father’s intense gaze pinned her to the spot, and she could feel her pulse racing.“What are you talking about, Dad?” she rasped as she feigned ignorance.“You told me everything was fine. No incidents. No danger. And yet,” Lucas growled, stepping closer, “Jayden’s father tells me you were in the middle of a dangerous mess, one that almost killed you.”Lucas looked at his daughter as he wondered what punishment to give her. Since he had found out about her lie, he had been wondering, and he hadn't come up with anything.She was no longer a child, and so he couldn't ground her. She wasn't his enemy, and so he couldn't kill her and finally, she had almost gotten killed. He couldn't be too harsh on her, especially when the attack came as a result of him and Justin.“I didn’t want you to worry!” Z

Jayden sat back on the couch, his feet up on the coffee table, staring down at the screen of his phone. The message from Zendaya still flashed on his display, and he reread it as he found it amusing.Even though she had told him she was busy and had ended the conversation, she was the one who texted first.‘What am I supposed to wear for tonight?’ was what the message read.He grinned to himself. The challenge was never something he minded, but there was something different in the way he was approaching her now. His fingers hovered over the screen as he thought about what to reply. Something flippant. Something sarcastic. That was usually his go-to. But today, it didn’t feel right. It wasn’t the first time Zendaya was going to that place, so she knew what she was supposed to wear. His mind wandered as he stared at the message, his thumb tapping absent-mindedly against the screen. She was trying to engage him in a conversation, as when he would answer, she would say another thing,

The present day, Jayden smiled to himself, as that was the first awakening he had about his true feelings for Zendaya.He had to admit it to himself; there was something about her that got under his skin and made her fascinated with him.It wasn’t just her intelligence or the way she always managed to keep her head held high, no matter how hard he tried to rattle her and no matter how many times she lost to him. It wasn’t even the challenge that she brought, the way she made him work for her attention despite everyone wanting his attention. No. It was the fact that, despite everything—despite all the sarcastic comments, the hard-headed defiance—he could see the cracks. He saw the softness behind her strong-willed exterior. And it was in those cracks that he found himself wanting more. The fact that he knew she hadn’t let anyone else see her vulnerability, not even his sisters, made him feel special.“Jayden, my father is a very strong person, and so is the rest of my family. What i

“What are you two doing here?” He questioned, and the smiles they both had on their faces dropped.“We came to see you. It’s been months,” Anaya was the first one to speak. Unknown to their parents, they had paid Jayden and Arthur numerous visits while they were out of the country.“Didn’t you miss us?” Juliette frowned at her big brother.“No, I didn’t,” Jayden responded, though there was a faint twitch at the corner of his mouth that betrayed the truth. However, he moved aside and the two younger Geranos didn’t waste any time entering his mansion. “You better have brought some good food because I’m starving,” he told them as he closed the door and followed them. They had bags in their hands, and he hoped it was from his grandfather or from one of his restaurants.It was already past noon, and he hadn’t had breakfast yet, he was starving.“We might have,” Anaya teased, glancing over her shoulder as they made their way to the living room. It was no secret that Jayden usually forgo

“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

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.
