Zina's POV

“Pah!” The sound of a slap rang through my room, and I held my cheek in shock not believing that my uncle just slapped me..it wasn't like he didn't do it before, but I didn't know what I did to warrant that.

“Ahh! What have I done, uncle!” I screamed, but his glare shook me up. “You really have the nerve to ask that after going off the grid with a strange man abandoning the party.” He said.

“I'm sorry, I didn't mean to leave the party, but I wasn't feeling too well, so I had to leave, and I didn't leave with a man to clear your allegations.” I said through gritted teeth, and my uncle burst into laughter hearing my words.

“Who gave you the right to call the shot? Even if you are about to drop dead, you still have to ask me before you leave!” He roared.

“Why should I do that? I'm an adult, and it's my life, so I don't need you controlling everything.” I argued, but I bit back my words when I saw him get closer to me with a cold glare.

    Zina's POV “Hi Zina!” The man who just entered the room smiled back at me, but I just scoffed. I couldn't believe that I was seeing him in that kind of place after so many years.“What's it, Mr. Williams? Did you know Miss Blackwood?” One of the investors asked, and he nodded his head. “Yes, Zina and I had history,” he replied, and I gagged in disgust.The man who just walked in was Craig Williams, one of my friends from college, but rather than a friend he was more of a stalker. He made my college days hell with his actions, but I wouldn't remember that to block unpleasant memories.“What history? I wouldn't want to say that, so I wouldn't give people the wrong idea.” I fired back, but instead of being offended he just smiled.He took a seat beside me, and leaned closer, but I shifted away. “Looks like Miss Blackwood isn't really fond of Mr. Williams, but can we move to the agenda today?” One of the investors, Mr. Nathaniel, hushed.“Thank you gentlemen, I will begin my presentation

    Tyson's POV I looked out the window as the car moved towards the busy street, and I heaved a sigh of frustration when the car got stuck in traffic.“Sorry, buss, we will make sure to navigate..” Victor apologized, but I cut him off.“What are you going to do? Just leave it, I can stay a few minutes in the traffic.” I mumbled, and looked out the window again.It was a bright afternoon, and for some reason it brought back some memories I left sealed in the deepest part of my heart. The memory of how I met Zina.It was a bright afternoon that day, and I was running late for deliveries, but bumped into her, who looked like she was running away from someone.“Watch where you are going young Miss!” I berated after picking up the deliveries from the ground, and placed them back on the bike, but a soft voice halted my actions.“Please, save me!” She begged, and when I looked at her, I saw the most beautiful woman ever, but with tears in her eyes, and that ticked something off in me.I didn't

    Zina's POV I went to the convenience store to get some things for my daughter, but not after dismissing Craig and his nonsense talk. How could I agree to anything he said, when I knew the monster he was.“I will be a fool to even think of having anything to do with him.” I muffled as I dropped things Ava, my daughter, likes in the shopping basket, but I felt a gaze on me like I felt earlier while in front of the restaurant.It was like someone was keeping their eyes on me, but whenever I turned I found nothing, so I ruled as just being paranoid. Maybe the thought of Tyson in the country got me on edge.“I should just leave..” I slurred.I felt a sharp instinct that someone was behind me, and it wasn't like earlier, this time it felt so close like the person was breathing the same air as me.“Zina!” I heard, but when I turned I saw one of my co-workers at work, and a man in a hoodie rushing out of the convenience store, and I knew that was my cue to follow the man.It could be Tyson.

    Tyson's POV I listened attentively as Victor gave me a summary about some of our businesses, and I waved my hands at him, because I wanted a review about the stunt we pulled.“Can you give me a briefing about something more interesting?” I asked. “Interesting? What could that be boss?” he asked, but a glare from him sets him straight.“I'm sorry, boss, I should have made a mistake about it, so I got the package delivered to Luther Blackwood yesterday, and he wasn't so pleased. I was told he lost his mind wondering who sent that package, and after he was invited to the ball, he was adamant to come.” He said, and I was surprised.“Adamant? Even after seeing Rica's armour?” I was surprised.Rica's armour was the one that the Mafia group sent out to send warnings to enemies, and if they didn't yield they got wiped out. The Rica group was that powerful. I planned to use the ball to reveal my identity.“That's what I heard, but we may never know, he might have bailed out on the day of the b

    Zina's POV I didn't understand why I felt that the gala was going to be the best gala I have attended, but gazing into the eyes of the man I have longed for confirmed my guess.“Tyson–it’s you.” I stuttered, and I rushed to hug him. Maybe because I was overwhelmed with emotions, I didn't notice his stiffness.“It's really you, where have you been..I searched for you and..” I was saying, but I heard him sniffing a laugh hearing my words.“What? Did you search for me? Perhaps the naive me that didn't know your facade would believe that.” He said, and I froze.I disengaged from the hug, and a cold swept through me immediately. I looked at his face, that looked devoid of emotions, and that was when I realized.The Tyson in front of me doesn't look like my Tyson, he looked so different, and cold. It felt like he was reborn to torment me for being such a horrible person.“Yes, I searched for you, Tyson, but I couldn't find you anywhere. Where have you been? And why are you just showing up

    Zina's POV “Uncle, why are you looking like that?” I commented as I walked up to my uncle, who looked like he was just a wild animal because of how tattered, and bruised he looked. His clothes looked ruffled like he was rough handled, and also stained with blood, which I presumed was his.I don't even know whether I'm supposed to laugh or not, but whatever I was feeling at the moment I held it in because people were giving him a questioning gaze. I rushed to help him up, but he jerked me off. “Let go of me! I'm going to ruin everyone here! How dare they mess with me!” My uncle bragged, and I felt ashamed.It was true that the Blackwood has influence in the country, but that was because of our legacy, the current Blackwood couldn't shake the country like before, and threatening so many influential people at once wasn't a good thing.“Uncle, I know you are mad, but don't you think it's unreasonable to threaten so many people at once,” I warned.He looked around with a scornful gaze, a

    Tyson's POV I watched as Zina followed her uncle out, and I felt a disturbing feeling like something was wrong with her, could I be wrong?“That's none of my business, she abandoned me, so I don't see a reason I have to care for her.” I mumbled under my breath, but I saw an ugly woman approaching me, and I hissed in frustration.“Hi, you look incredible, and…” she was saying, but I cut her off. “I'm sorry, but I'm married.”She looked shocked with my words, but I didn't care. “Married? But you don't have a ring on your finger, maybe you are trying to push me off.” She said.“You think? Then I think you are smart enough to catch on.” I said as I walked out of the ballroom leaving people to enjoy the party I organized because my plan to humiliate Luther Blackwood was successful.“Why are you coming out so early, boss?” Victor asked as he got out of the car, while opening the door for me. “That’s because the party is over. Luther Blackwood was completely humiliated.”“Wow! That means th

    Zina's POV It has been a week since I met Tyson at the gala, and my anxiety level has doubled compared to the time. I couldn't get anything done after I found out Tyson's new identity.I should be happy, but I knew his new identity would get Anna in more trouble than I actually wanted.This is so messed up!“Zina!” I heard a voice behind me, and I jolted out of my thoughts to find myself standing in front of the company's elevator with my friend, Caroline beside me and she looked worried.“Good morning, Caroline. Reporting to work?” I asked. “Yes, but why do you look so lost in thought, it's still morning.” Caroline berated, as we both walked into the elevator, and she pressed the buttons to our floors.“I know, but I have a lot of things on my mind.” “And what's that?” She asked.“Tyson is back.” I breathed, and Caroline's eyes went wide in shock. She has been my friend for the longest time, and she knew the history between Tyson, and I even though not all, but she knew enough to g

    Zina's POV The past few days have been eventful, but I could be bothered because Anna, and Tyson were currently in the surgery room for the bone marrow transplant surgery.“Everything will be fine, Zina.” Carolina consoled me as we both got our eyes fixed on the surgery room door, and the sign which indicated the surgery was still in progress.“Why don't you sit down? You have been standing for a long time?” Sister Mary asked, but I shook my head.“No, Anna is in there fighting for her life, what kind of mother will be if I can't even do this much.” I replied, and we all stood in silence.I wasn't a prayer person, but I prayed so hard, hoping that God wouldn't forsake me, and he didn't.“Zina!” Carolina called as the doctor walked out of the surgery, and my eyes glistened with tears seeing Anna wheeled out of the surgery room.“Oh my baby!” I mumbled, as I got closer, but the nurses prevented me from getting close.“You can't see her yet, Miss Blackwood, we still need to monitor her.

    Tyson's POV Flashback After I left the hospital that night, I was informed that some of my men were attacked in our warehouse, and when I got there the condition wasn't friendly. Some of my men were lying on the floor in pain.Who dare attack me?“What's going on here!” Victor screamed, but I used that opportunity to check the condition of the warehouse. Of course, I felt some presence which meant that whoever attacked my man was nearby or still around.“I will check the boss,” Victor said, but I joined him. “Are you okay?” I asked my men, and they all replied while they crawled up from the floor. I couldn't ask them what happened because I was sure that they wouldn't know.They were probably attacked before they could even react.“Take the injured out of here, and I will handle the rest,” I ordered Victor, and even though he looked as if he had another opinion he went along. The injured men were escorted out of the warehouse, and my other men stood guard.“That's enough hide and s

    Tyson's POV I ran to the hospital like a crazy person, not minding what people think of me, but my steps skipped when I saw a familiar figure standing frozen at the entrance of the emergency unit.“Zina?” I called, as I walked closer, and my lips broke into a smile when she turned.“Tyson? Is that you?” She asked running towards me, and before I could understand what was going on, she engulfed me into a hug.“Oh my goodness, you are alive!” She screamed hugging me tightly, and I relaxed into her hug. The past few days had been crazy, and I couldn't believe I could see her again after all what that has happened.“I was so worried, where have you been!” Zina muffled as she hit my back, but I winced in pain when she hit a sore spot.“What's that sound? Are you okay?” she asked. “Yes, I'm fine.” I replied as we disengaged from the hug. We stayed silently for a while, just gazing into each other's eyes, and I noticed that she looked tired to the last time we saw. I could already tell wha

    Zina's POV“Why is this connecting!” I flared in anger, and I almost threw my phone away. It has been 2 days, and Tyson hasn't shown up at the hospital nor has he returned my calls. I didn't know what to think of that.“Are you still on this?” Sister Mary asked, taking a seat beside me in the hallway, and I sighed.“Tyson hasn't returned any of my calls, aunt, what if something bad has happened to him?” I blurted running my hands through my hair in frustration.I couldn't help but have bad thoughts about things that could go wrong. Anna's surgery date has already been scheduled, Tyson hasn't shown up for days, and I couldn't help but lose my mind.“Maybe he is busy.” Sister Mary said, but I shook my head.“That's not possible, you know Tyson isn't that responsible, or perhaps he travelled for business and..” I gave a lot of excuses, neglecting the sick thought that was creeping in.The day passed quickly, and it was already evening with no sign of Tyson, I ran out of excuses, so I ju

    Zina's POV It has been a week since we found out that Tyson is a match to be a bone marrow donor for Anna, and it has also been a week since the daughter, and father duo has started bonding. Even though I haven't told Anna about Tyson's identity, she was strangely close with him, but I thought I was just being paranoid.“Why are you so deep in thought?” Sister Mary asked as she took a seat beside me on the bend in the hospital's playground for children while we watched Tyson play with Anna.“Nothing.” I replied.“They look so lovely together!” Sister Mary gushed over Tyson, and Anna's interaction, and I couldn't help but admit it. They indeed looked great together, and I couldn't help but feel bad that I deprived both of them of netting earlier. And also with the situation that we were in I felt even more guilty.“And don't beat yourself up too much, it's not because of you that things turned out like this, you tried your best.” She said, patting my shoulder, and I felt comforted.

    Luther's POV “That sly fox!” I screamed as I threw things around the room. I couldn't believe that I just got fooled by my niece.Zina has always been the only person I gave absolute control over due to her weakness, but I couldn't believe she could keep the information about Tyson Reed from me.“How could I have missed that!” I hollered, and punched the table. My study room was already a mess, but I didn't care. I have more things to worry about, and Tyson Reed was on the top of my priority list.“Dad, what's going on here?” Ethan asked, as he stepped into the room. “Are you this mad because Zina left home amidst her engagement? Don't worry I will talk to..”“Shut up! I can't believe that I have to listen to your nonsense right now!” I berated him.I raised a fool as a son, which was why I needed more power to sustain the group. If he were capable enough, the group wouldn't have been in a chokehold.“I'm sorry, dad, but what's going on?”I explained what I found out after visiting

    Tyson's POV My men searched around the hospital, but we couldn't find Anna. Zina was already losing her kindness as she ranged every kid she came across even when they didn't look 4 years old. “Calm down, Zina, I'm sure she is still in the hospital.” I said, but she didn't listen as she rushed to the pediatrics ward. I have strong convictions that she was still in the building because the CCTV footage wasn't tampered with, and it showed Anna leaving the room herself so she has to be somewhere. I went back to her ward floor, and I searched around even though maybe we missed something, but my gut told me to enter the room. I looked around the room, and when I didn't find Anna I decided to walk out, but a sniff sound hit my attention.“Is anyone there?” I hollered, and no response, so I was prompted to look under the bed, and there she was.A frail-looking girl, squatted under the hospital bed, with the most innocent looking eyes that looked like mine, my daughter, Anna was hiding un

    Zina's POV I watched as Tyson walked away, and I felt my heart break so hard. I knew what I did to him, I needed to protect Anna, so I couldn't do that. “Maybe you should have told him.” I heard a voice behind me, and I jerked in fear.“Sister Mary, can you please be making sounds!” I screamed, as I looked at the middle-aged woman, who looks like she has had it out for me.“Perhaps you wouldn't look this spaced out if you have been up to something good,” she says.I couldn't blame her for being sarcastic, she has already asked me to tell Tyson about Anna, but I felt that I could take care of my daughter myself.“I know you have a lot to say sister Mary, but Anna needs you, I will be joining you soon after I wiped my face in the restroom.” “Ok, don't be long Anna is suspecting that she might be sick, and you know when she catches up on things she doesn't let go.” she says, and I nod my head.I gave birth to smartypants.“Ok, I won't be long.” I said, and she left. I walked into one

    Tyson's POV I stared blankly at Zina, and I wondered if she had lost her mind, but her expression didn't falter a bit, so I could only think she was telling the truth.“I know what I'm saying is crazy, but I really need your help.” She explained that her friend's daughter was sick, and she needed a bone marrow transplant, and even though her explanation was off, I volunteered to follow her to get tested.What could go wrong with just a test? I thought.I followed her to the hospital, and I was surprised when she stopped in front of a hospital room.“Why are you waiting outside? Are you just going in?” I asked, but I stopped bugging her when I looked into that room through the door glass.“Why does that young girl..” I trailed off while I completed the sentence in my head, ‘looked like me.’I looked at the frail-looking girl on the hospital bed, and the more I looked at her, the more the resemblance glared back at me.“Zina..that girl..” I stuttered, but she cut me off. “That my daught
