Zayden's POVI am dumbfounded at the offer. What sort of ridiculous idea is this? I ask inwardly. How can she come here to tell me to marry her daughter, who does she think she is?Why is everyone picking up the topic of marriage to me these days? I watch her shout furiously. She is angry and it shows how sincere she is about everything she has said. I remember the girl. Yes, I do and I remember the sex with her. It was the sex that changed something in me and brought back my urges. I thought of her for the first week after the sex with her but after having sex with another woman from a different club, I forgot about her.I try to stay calm and handle the situation in a good way. I can decide to go for a DNA test after the baby is born to be sure the baby is mine and if it is, I will take responsibility, not because I want to but because I feel my mother will be glad about it. Maybe this will make her stop pressuring me about getting married. I left the mansion yesterday out of a
Evelyn's POVI am confident of my plan and I am going to push through with my threat if Zayden doesn't do what I want him to do. I am ready to show him the stuff I am made of.I stop a cab when I am outside the company. I am thinking of other things to do, to make my plan more effective. As the cabman drives me home, I decide to give Pamela a call.I don't want to lose on two sides, besides I need money to keep my home together before the plan to get Zayden to marry my daughter will work. I know once Belle is married to him, I will have no cause to cry over my financial status. I am sure of that.Maybe I should start work now and resign once Belle is married off to the idiot, I thought to myself.I pick up my phone and dial Pamela's number."Hello, Pamela.""Hi.""Are you still home?" I ask her. I want her to tell her father that I am ready to start work."Yes, but I am about to go to school now", Pamela replies softly."I want you to help me ask your dad when I can start work", I tel
Zayden's POVMom called me. She said she wants to see me but I didn't want to go home because I am not ready to see my father after the heated argument between us the other day. Mother said it was urgent and I wonder what it can be, I just hope she is fine, deciding to go see her the following week.It is a Monday morning and I have a lot on my desk. I was informed that the date for the award has been announced already and it is fast approaching. I am not taking any action towards it yet, I am just hoping I will be lucky to get the award.I am trying to finish up my work for today so I can go for the business meeting in Boston. My flight has been booked for 2 pm. My phone rings and I pick it up, shifting my gaze from the laptop in front of me."Good day, boss. Mr. Tristan is here to see you", Chloe informs me."Let him in", I tell her and drop the phone. I continue my work, expecting Tristan. It's been three days since I gave him the job, I never expected it would take him this much
Daisy-Belle's POVI stir in my sleep, remembering I have an errand to run for mom. I've been absent from school for more than a week now. I have been sick. Today is Friday and I have been doing nothing all day but to sleep.I stretch with a yawn and turn to check the clock. It is 6 pm already."Shit", I scramble out of my bed. Mom asked me to go get groceries, we are out of milk, eggs, and bread. These past few days, I have been taking more milk than usual and we have no more milk in the house anymore.I spend most of the time alone at home, doing absolutely nothing. I am always sleeping or watching a movie. I did nothing today other than take a bath and sleep after taking lunch. I intended to take a nap for a few minutes before going to the grocery shop, a few distances away from here. It is quite near, so I don't need to take a cab.I dash out of my room and rush to the kitchen, where mom kept the money for groceries. I pick it up and run back to my room. I am thinking of changing
Zayden's POVThe private jet lands in New York at exactly 8:10 pm. I remove my seat belt and move out of the jet. I walk briskly to the Limousine waiting for me. I am really exhausted after a long day in Chicago. I have been gone for three days.I went there for a business meeting and the launching of my new hotels in Chicago. I was supposed to arrive in New York earlier this morning but I had to stay back to close the deals I have in Chicago. I got the deal and after signing the contract, the jet took off from Chicago at exactly 5 pm.The driver comes out and takes the suitcase from me. He opens the door for me and I hop in. He drops the suitcase beside him as he gets in. We drive off.All I want to do now is to take a hot bath, eat and go to bed. I have an appointment with Alexander tomorrow morning by 10 am, so I need to be up early to prepare the contract before his arrival. I am also hoping to talk to him about the award, to see if he can help in any way. Anytime I think of what
Tessa's POVTrevor's call was expected but his request to see me wasn't expected. I know this meeting is going to be about his son, Zayden, and our supposed marriage but I can't help but wonder why he demands to see me in his private hotel and not his office or home. My father is extremely mad at Zayden for rejecting me. He suggested that I forget about him but it isn't an easy task for me.At first, I thought what I have for Zayden is lust, for how he makes me feel during sex but now I know it is more than lust. I love the idiot.My dad told Trevor that I am no longer interested in getting married to his son and he stopped picking his calls. I tried to let go of my plans to get him in every possible means but the thought of seeing him someday with some woman made me pick up the interest of getting him no matter what. Father wouldn't understand. No one will understand how much I love him. Zayden is everything that I want and need in a man.My mom is supportive and on my side, she ke
Tessa's POVTrevor stands up and walks to where I am seated. "Good." He goes to the back and puts his face next to my shoulder. I stare back at his face, wishing it is Zayden."Your father isn't picking my calls anymore", He whispers close to my ears and moves away abruptly. The action reminds me of how tense I am whenever Zayden is around and whenever I feel his breath on my skin. I close my eyes to shut the thoughts away."He is angry", I tell him."I have an offer to make for you to be married to Zayden", he utters and moves to the bar side where there are varieties of wines. He picks one up and pours it into two glasses. I watch him as he moves back to sit, placing the glass of wine before me and gulping his."What offer?" I pick the glass up and sip a little wine from it, watching him from the transparent glass."The offer to make my son yours while you give me what I want." He smirks.I am beginning to think otherwise. Why is he saying while I give him what I want? I frown an
Damien's POVI love fun places, I love having fun. California is a fun place to be but I know more fun awaits me here in New York. I have unfinished business that I need to sort out before flying back to my comfort zone.I am also back here because of how much I miss New York and because of one other person, Zayden. I miss him. I miss seeing his contorted face. I miss feeling the pleasure I always derive from taking what belongs to him.This is why I am here now, to take something else and destroy it.I won't hesitate to destroy him now that I have the chance. I want to take my revenge now. I don't want to wait any longer again. Fifteen years is a long wait already. I want to destroy him and his father for making me lose my mother at a tender age.Trevor is the real enemy but I want Zayden to have a taste of the torture and pain his father had caused me, for not stopping his father from killing my mother right in my presence. Zayden saw him but he didn't stop him. He was my best frie
