Entangled with my Lifelong Enemy Chapter 97: Spending the night at the Valencia mansion
The air was heavy with the aftermath of the chaos, the faint smell of blood and sweat lingering in the living room where Matthew had been taught a lesson by the two men of the Valencia family.Zendaya leaned against the wall, her arms wrapped around herself as she tried to process everything that had just happened. She hated that she felt a bit of pity for him, even after everything he’d done. But more than that, she hated how exposed and raw she felt standing there.The fact that she had cried while talking to Matthew wasn't something she was proud of because at that moment she felt hurt once again. It was puzzling as she wasn't in love with Matthew anymore and had moved on to a much better man. Meanwhile, Lucas stood a few feet away, observing her silently. They had taken care of Matthew, but she didn't look like she was happy about it, and it made him fearful, as he didn't want it to be a case of her still having feelings for that bastard.Without wasting time, he moved closer

Zendaya flopped onto her bed, her body sinking into the familiar plush mattress of her childhood room.She groaned into the pillow before rolling onto her back, reaching for her phone. If she was going to be forced to stay here, she might as well let Jayden know,,, as he would be worried.Opening their chat, she saw that he had already sent a text. “How's it going,” was what his text read.Reading it, she began to type.“It went well. I’m not coming back tonight.She stared at the message and waited for the little dots that would indicate he was typing. When they didn’t come, she added another text.Zendaya: Before you get mad, it wasn’t my idea. My dad and Levi practically kidnapped me after everything that happened with Matthew.This time, the dots appeared almost immediately.Jayden: Please tell me you're jokingZendaya could practically hear the frustration behind his words. She rolled her eyes but couldn’t suppress the small smile creeping onto her face. It was nice to see he w

The world tilted and blurred for Matthew as he stumbled onto the hard concrete, his knees scraping against the rough surface. “Should we drop him here or move him,” one of the guards who had thrown him onto the floor asked.“Nah, leave his sorry ass here. That was the boss’ orders. I'm not going against it for the cheater,” the guard's partner said as he pulled the other one out of there.Matthew's head pounded, and his body ached from the beating he’d received at the hands of Lucas and Levi Valencia. The car that had dropped him off sped away, its taillights vanishing into the distance, leaving him in an empty alley, surrounded by shadows and the faint stench of garbage.Gasping for breath, Matthew clutched his side, feeling the sharp sting of bruised ribs. He glanced around, disoriented, his mind racing as he didn't know how to get out of there. His keys and wallet were back at the mansion, and it was as good and gone as there was no way he was getting it back, which means he was

Zendaya cursed in annoyance when her morning started with the annoying buzz of her alarm clock at an ungodly hour.What was she thinking when she set it so early? Moments like this were when the urge to quit her job hit her deeply. She groaned, blindly smacking the snooze button, but her phone buzzed with a notification almost immediately, forcing her to wake up. She knew herself, which was why she had set the notification on her phone when she was going to bed.The reminder of her shoot flashed on the screen, and she sighed. ‘Fuck my life.’Dragging herself out of bed, she rushed to the bathroom, and decided to have a cold shower in an effort to wash the sleep away from her eyes. After she was done, she threw on casual jeans and a fitted top. Her outfit didn't matter, as she would change out of it.She then grabbed her phone to check messages and as expected, Jayden’s text was already waiting for her.Jayden: Good morning, Sleepyhead. Did you survive the Valencia family chaos?Ze

The lights dimmed, and the photographer called out, "That’s a wrap, everyone!" Zendaya heard him say as she sighed in relief.Without wasting time, she slipped out of her heels and stretched her sore feet. The shoot had been exhausting, but it had gone well. She grabbed her things, thanking the crew, and she immediately headed out of the studio with a coffee in hand. She was finally done for the day, and now she could focus on getting some plants and paint for the mansion. She then made a mental note to ask Jayden if she was okay with some guys coming over to redecorate the house.Stepping out of the building, she was too engrossed in her thoughts to notice the figure walking toward her. Just as she took a sip of her coffee, she collided with someone, the cup tilting dangerously. A gasp escaped her lips as the liquid spilled onto the stranger's shirt.“Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry!” she blurted as she quickly grabbed her handkerchief to wipe the coffee off the shirt.“It's okay,” sh

The boardroom buzzed with activity as Jayden sat at the head of the table, listening to his team give updates on the recent crisis that had happened in the company. His sharp eyes scanned the reports in front of him, his focus unbroken despite the noise around him.“—and as of this morning, we've managed to find the source of the breach.The odds have shifted slightly in our favour,” one of his executives concluded, clearly relieved. “We’ve managed to downplay most of the fallout.”Jayden nodded curtly. “Good. Keep monitoring it. I want real-time updates on any changes.”The team murmured their agreement before someone else began to present. As they spoke, Jayden leaned back in his chair, as he grabbed his pen to play with it.While his mind was partially on the briefing, a larger part of him wandered to Zendaya and what she was doing. He hadn’t texted her since they spoke in the morning, as he had been bombarded by his team and had been busy ever since.His thoughts were interrup

The clinking of cups, the hiss of the espresso machine, and a low hum of conversation filled the coffee shop.Anil and Zendaya sat across from each other in a cozy corner of the shop. The sunlight shone through the large windows, casting a warm glow on the wooden table between them. Anil’s shirt had been changed and thankfully, he managed to find a shirt the exact colour.“Thanks again for waiting while I changed,” Anil said, running a hand through his hair. “I swear I’m cursed around coffee when you’re involved,” he remarked, reminding Zendaya of what had happened in the past.Zendaya chuckled as she remembered what had happened. He was right, her coffee and him didn't go well together, and it always left him at the receiving end.“I said I was sorry, didn’t I? And hey, at least I didn’t spill it on your face this time.”Anil laughed, a genuine sound that made Zendaya relax for a moment. She liked that about him—his ability to brush off awkward moments without making them feel lik

Jayden stepped into the abandoned mansion, his brow furrowed as he spotted Zendaya waiting in the dimly lit living room. When their eyes met, she didn't look happy to see him, and he wondered if Anil had done something to make her sad.“What’s wrong?” he asked in a calm voice.“You know exactly what’s wrong?" Zendaya snapped, as she stood up. “Daniel. The guy you swore you wouldn’t go after while you were sleeping with me, Jayden.”Jayden froze for a moment as he processed her words. His lips pressed into a thin line before he spoke. “Zendaya, I told you I’d handle him. And I did.”“Handle him?” she repeated in disbelief, her voice rising. “You beat him up till he fell unconscious, Jayden! Do you have any idea what you’ve done? He’s in the hospital! The police are investigating this!”Jayden raised an eyebrow, and Zendaya could tell from the expression he had on his face that he was unbothered. “Let them investigate. They won’t find anything,” he said.His nonchalant tone made Zen

Zendaya stood outside Anaya’s house, hesitating before ringing the bell. She had tried to get Jayden out of her mind, but he refused to leave, and it was as though he had permanently built a house there.She needed a distraction and what better way to get one than Anaya. Shaking her head, she finally pressed it.A moment later, Anaya’s cheerful voice came through the intercom. “Who’s there?”“It’s me,” Zendaya said, trying to sound normal.“Zendaya? What are you doing here?!” she heard her friend say as she opened the door.Anaya was wearing a fluffy cardigan and pajama pants, her hair in a messy bun. “You look like you could use a drink or five,” she teased, stepping aside to let Zendaya in.This was one of the reasons why she had come there. It had barely been ten seconds, and Anaya was doing what Anaya did best.“Don’t tempt me especially after what happened the last time,” Zendaya muttered, shrugging off her coat and kicking off her shoes.“Rough day?” Anaya asked as she led Zen
