ZAYN'S POV

Sophia folded her arms, shaking her head, as she exhaled.

“It won't take me long. It's just a week this time around. A week will pass by before you know it. It's only seven days. Seven days, Zayn.” She held up her fingers, looking at me with such desperation that made it seem like she wanted to push the exact way she was feeling onto me.

“That's what you keep saying. I'm tired of hearing you give excuses! What exactly are you going there to do?” I snarled, my voice dripping with venom. It wasn't long since she went to Rio de Janeiro, now she was talking about Jamaica!

“New products will be released in Jamaica, and I have to be there to inspect them in person. Check everything out, and decide which ones I want, and which ones I don't want.”

“You’re so unbelievable, Sophia! An assistant can do that for you. You can have a video call on it. Isn't this just an excuse?”

“No. There might be little flaws that I can't see unless I go there in person. Touch it, feel it… you don'

    AVA’S POV“I'm sorry. That wasn't my intention. I…”“It's fine” I cut in, quickly, stepping backwards, as I blinked uncomfortably. “I'll just… uh, I'm just going to… you know, go out. Like you wanted me to.” Stepping backwards, I turned around, and left his office immediately, sucking in all the breath I'd forgotten to breathe in. His receptionist was staring at the door, and my guilty conscience made me think she had somehow magically heard and seen everything that went on. “Where is the waiting room?” I asked, and she rose from her seat. “Come with me, please.” She said, getting out from behind her desk to walk ahead of me and my bodyguard.We went with her, and I couldn't help thinking of all that went on minutes ago. Everything had just changed drastically, and the energy was weird. His eyes! They looked like a swirling tsunami of desire. They acquired a dark feel as he stared at me, and even now, the goosebumps were present on my skin. I exhaled through my mouth, and shook m

    ZAYN'S POVAva clutched my shirt with shaking fingers as she watched me with her large dark eyes bouncing between mine.“What happened?” My hands settled on her shoulders feeling the violent tremors running through her. She tried to speak, tried to take in deep breaths, but couldn't stop the frantic shallow gasps from escaping her. I looked towards her room, as she also looked back, her pupils blown wide with panic. Her grip clamped down even harder on my chest. “In my room…” her voice was a breathy whisper that trembled with the force of her terror. My chest tightened, as an unsettling dread cooked in my belly, “What did you see?” My lips stretched into a thin line. “I… I…” a sob broke out of her, and her trembling fingers flew to her mouth, her chest rising and falling rapidly. She struggled to get the words out. “Wait here.” I said, brushing her hands off my clothes gently, stepping cautiously to her room.There it was. I didn't even need to step in before my breath was knock

AVA’S POVI woke up to the sound of Zayn's voice speaking rapidly on the phone, or was it the breeze pouring in?As I turned to look, my eyelids fluttered open slowly, and I met with the luxurious ceiling of the hotel before turning to see Zayn standing in front of the water dispenser, ending his call with frustration on his face. Sitting up, I noticed my breakfast spread out on the table, with a wide range of delicacies ready to be devoured. Why did he order so much for just breakfast?“Did you find out who did it?” I asked, my voice a little hoarse, and he turned a little too sharply like he hadn't expected me to be awake. He exhaled softly, before heading over to the sofas crowded around the spread out breakfast. “I think you should have your meal first.” He said, opening some closed dishes. I closed my eyes, letting out a slow sigh, “Has the matter been solved? I want to know that first.” The image of that horrific scene still played in my head, and no matter how tight I shu

    AVA’S POV.I shot to my feet, my eyes going wide, “What? Which maid was it? What is her name?.” My feet already carried me straight to her without knowing it, and my hands clamped around her shoulders. “Uh… no, it's not what you think. I… I don't know her. I barely saw her. And I suspect she did it.” She said and air rushed past my lips, as I bowed my head, my hands still on her shoulder.“Thank you.” I said softly, feeling my hopes crash like a waterfall. I let my hands slip off her shoulders, and took a few steps back. “You may leave now.”She asked, tentatively, “Will you be okay?” “Yes, thanks once again.” I placed both hands over my face, as she walked out, “Don't close the door.” I ordered, quickly. “I won't.”That unknown maid was definitely the one who did that to my room. It had to be no one else but her. The problem was finding that maid before she did something else to me. I had to tell Zayn. I lay flat on my bed. If I told them that the only maid allowed in my room was

    ZAYN'S POV.Her lips.It kept replaying in my mind, I couldn’t get the picture out of my head, no matter how hard I tried.I don’t know exactly what it was that was making me attracted to her because there were so many likable things about her.Her stubbornness, how fierce she’s and not afraid to take any decision or perhaps her determination.I looked towards where she was seated studying the brief of the meeting, her white gown clung to her body, showcasing her shape and not to talk of the tiny baby bump that was already shooting out.Fuck! I could feel my little monster rise up, just at the mere thought of her….. This was so wrong, but I couldn’t help it. She looked divine and for a moment, my mind drifted to Sophia.Never for once, had Sophia cared about my business or work. The only time she would come in here was to demand that I give her money. Looking at how determined and eager Ava was to get the job, I couldn’t help but imagine Sophia’s reaction in my head. ‘I can't do thi

The only thing that could be heard was the ringing tone of his phone, while we both stood still, coming to terms of what we had just done.“Ava?” He called out, finally breaking the silence, as I made sure not to meet his gaze, “I’m so…”“You should pick the call” I interrupted, my voice low and cracking, “I’ll be in the car” I concluded, trying to calm the turmoil brewing inside me, without another word, I turned back and walked out.“Shit!” I cursed at myself as soon as I walked out of his office. My heart was still pounding, and adrenaline was still tingling down my fingers from the force of the whole thing. My head was jumbled, and I couldn’t shake off the memory of the kiss, no matter how hard I tried.It had been a sweeping rush that had overtaken and overwhelmed me in such a way that I didn’t even know what I was doing anymore. My body was cold with sweat, but inside me, it was a boiling volcano, and the craziest of it all was that I kept wondering what wou

    AVA’S POV.“What are you doing here?” Carter growled, his voice piercing through the silence like a rugged dagger. Emily seemed to turn into an autumn leaf, rustled continuously by the bitter wind. Her fingers found each other, as she trembled, her gaze falling to the floor. Then she dropped to her knees quite painfully, “I apologize! I know I shouldn't be here when Miss Ava isn't around, but I was unable to find one of my possessions which I dropped, while I was cleaning the room earlier,” Her lips trembled as she spoke, her eyes refusing to meet mine. “Carter, you terrified the poor girl,” I said, hitting him slightly on the arm as I came out from behind him. “It's fine. Did you find what you were looking for?”Emily shook her head, eyes glimmering. “Hey, he's just being cautious. You know about the painting story and all.” I said, going towards her, taking her by the shoulders, “He doesn't mean any harm. You don't have to cry,”Emily nodded, clearly shaken by Carter's rigid to

    ZAYN'S POV.“Shit!” I yelled, hitting the steering as I sped down the highway. Carter’s words still echoed in my mind, “Ms Ava has been involved in a home accident”.My grip on the steering tightened, an image was already forming in my head; An image of Ava hurt and vulnerable like the night of the painting and my heart was already racing, I had promised that no harm would come to her.I screeched to a halt in front of the mansion, not caring to pack inside as I ran into the mansion, minding the stares from my workers. My only concern was Ava’s safety.Carter was standing in front of the kitchen, looking more relaxed than I'd have expected him to. “Carter!” I called out as I walked to where he stood, my voice laced with urgency and concern. “Were you able to catch the culprit?”He looked at me, confusion etched on his face, “There was no culprit sir, it was just a minor home accident in the kitchen”.“And why are you here instead of safeguarding her room?” I asked, my voice cold and

Who could have done this to her?!How were we not able to notice?The doctor hasn’t said a word since I came in, and it was like my heart was being ripped out of my chest, I couldn’t stay calm, no matter how I tried.The image of her face contouring in pain and her vomiting blood was still fresh in my head and…. I was scared. What if she…. No, I shouldn’t be negative. I promised to protect her… I promised her no harm, how did I not see this coming? Pain, anger, fear, was all that was radiating through my body and I needed to vent it out on something.I couldn’t wait any longer, The antiseptic smell of the hospital hit me like a punch to the gut as I pushed open the doors of the room. But I was blocked by some of the nurses and security, “Sir you can’t be here, you need to wait outside”. One of them said, holding me back.From where I stood, I could see her.

    AVA'S POV. “What are you implying, then?” Cassandra asked, her voice shaking, “I knew you blamed me for her death, but you kept denying it, Why would I hurt Lucy?” She added, tears streaming down her face. My mind was reeling with different thoughts. Cass never told me she knew the previous surrogate that died and finding out now. Could it be that…..No!! Cassandra wouldn’t. She is kind-hearted, and Zayn was only thinking this way because of the hatred he had for her. “You claim you have always wanted to made amends but the last time you came here was when Lucy was pregnant, and now you are back claiming to want to make amends with me, I know your tricks Cassandra”. My gaze flickered to Cassandra, and coincidentally, she also did. Her eyes were teary, and I could feel my heart racing, the only question in my mind was, “Was she also part of the persons who wanted my baby dead?” “You know what I’m done! This is the height of this, Zayn” She blurted out, her voice lou

    AVA'S POV.I remained calm, as I digested the information, there was a lot going on in this family. Here I was thinking he cared about Sophia and Zayn’s relationship not knowing he has something crucial to gain if I had left. Cassandra nudged me slightly, “I don’t want you to overthink this. I just shared this information with you so that you would know that everything is not as it seems”.“But why?” I interpreted, “Why so much hatred in this family? Did something happen?”There had to be a reason why none of them were close, they all seemed like enemies forced to be in a family.. Casandra heaved a sigh, “It’s a lot and I can’t begin to explain, you won’t even understand” She replied, her voice low and soft.“It's like spiderwebs, weaving in and out of each other. They're all tracing back to one root, but you can't even find it. It's a tangled mess. And our family is just that. We've been complicated from the onset. And it's not just something that started with us. We were born int

    AVA'S POV.“I’m sorry, but I can’t accept your offer”. Andrew glared at me, his face turning into a scowl, “Why?!” He asked, his voice rising, “Why are you hell-bent on destroying this beautiful relationship?”The way he switched up from calm to anger was shocking, “I can’t leave yet, Zayn and I have built a friendship over the months and I know how important this baby is to him. I’ll leave after delivering the baby.” “You’re willing to give your baby to a man who forced you here and stole all your rights just to bear his heir? I never knew you to be this stupid, Ava”.I stood up, “You never knew me in the first place, I believe this conversation is over and…” He cut in, “Don’t you fear for your life?” he asked a sinister expression on his face and I felt a shiver run down my spine, “Have you forgotten how the other surrogate died? She was killed!”“If this is meant to scare me, I’m sorry to disappoint, but it doesn’t. He promised to protect me and I believe him”. I replied, my voi

    AVA I entered my room, making sure to lock the door before letting out a deep breath. My mind was reeling with so many things, most especially—Zayn’s touch. I plopped down on my bed, closing my eyes as I reminisced the moment. He had a way of making someone want him badly, my hands trailed down my laps and I parted them open slowly, I just needed to release the tension building inside me. I felt a flutter in my chest and a growing warmth between my legs, Zayn’s image filled my mind as I found myself slipping my fingers into my core My breathed hitched as I continued starting slowly, my mind filled with thoughts of Zayn lips, his touch, his hands. My legs trembled as I increased the pace, a low moan escaping from my lips. I slipped three fingers in as the image of the night we had sex flashed through—I envisioned his lips sucking me down there, and my body arched, yearning for his touch. It was wrong—I shouldn’t be doing this….yet I couldn’t stop. The pleasure was intoxicati

    AVA'S POV.I groggily walked down the stairs, my body heavy with fatigue. After the argument with Zayn, Sleeping had been very difficult, and waking up with morning sickness and joint pains was something I was dreading. Every day into the pregnancy seemed to come with new challenges. Sophia’s loud laughters could be heard, and I made a silent wish hoping she wasn’t on the dining table, but I guess it was too late—I reached the foot of the stairs and sitting on the dining table was Zayn alongside Sophia. A sad smile found its way to my face, she looked so happy that he was finally giving her his attention.I couldn’t interrupt them…. That’s what I kept saying to myself, but deep down, my heart was torn apart. My stomach gave a low rumble and I heaved a deep breath before walking down to the dining area, only to stop for a second time. There was Sophia, her eyes lit in delight, as she ran her hands through his hair.“What did you do to it? It's softer. No lies,” she laughed, and t

    AVARunning….Panting….Screaming….The only sound pounding in my ears was my raging heartbeat, and harsh ragged breathing, as I ran blindly down a cold dark street. ‘Damn it! Damn you!’ I screamed, my hair pouring over my face drenched in sweat, as I turned down a corner in an abandoned alley. My limbs were shaking. In fact, it felt like I'd fall and shatter like a bag of broken bones. Sweat was pouring out every hole on my skin, and my head was jumbled with mad thoughts. Stones cut into my bare feet as they stretched as wide as they could go, propelling me forward dangerously, ‘Anyone! HELP!’‘Ava.’ His voice seemed to come from everywhere and nowhere all at once, ‘You can't run,’Ethan. He was in the distance before me when I'd actually been running from him. How?The shadows covered his face, but I could see his long smile, curving wickedly, and in his hands was a knife.I turned, racing backwards, as I curved into another dark corner, backing into the wall where I fell into a

    AVAI stood up abruptly without saying a word and walked out, ignoring Cassandra calls as I headed straight to the parking lot.I opened the car settling in, My head was racing with different possibilities on how Ethan was able to know my location, two times.Was it my phone? Did he perhaps put a tracker on it? I checked quickly, but couldn’t find anything.“What happened? You just rushed out”. Cassandra asked, entering the car, and I turned to face her, “How did he know?!” I snarled, my lips trembling, “He’s stalking me, no way it was a coincidence”.My heart was racing, and I was—struggling, I couldn’t breathe properly!“Calm down, Ava!” She interrupted patting my back, but I couldn’t, “I don’t even know what you’re talking about, do you know, Ethan? Make me understand”.“How was he able to know my location?” I replied, my voice sharp, “That freak has been sending me creepy messages, and now he dares show his face, lying that he doesn’t know me!”Cassandra’s expression changed fr

The previous one wasn’t like this, so what’s happening?” I snarled, my eyes blazing with anger. “You have one fucking job, and you can’t deliver!”“I apologize for the delay, it’s more difficult because of the lady, she tends to be more careful and somehow manages to bypass all my traps”.“Then create more!” I yelled, rising from my chair, “Why then are we paying you? Or do you have a better plan on how to achieve this?” I asked the maid we had planted in Zayn's house. “I have tried, but she’s not eating the meals and when she does, nothing happens, it’s either we change the poison or wait until the child is born, and then we eliminate”.“No! Never! We can’t take the risk of waiting until she gives birth, we have to do it now that the child is still in the womb”.I paced around the room, thinking of possible ideas to achieve this when the maid chipped in, “Perhaps we could go ahead with the second plan, getting a stronger poison, I’m sure th
