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.

    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 I was stunned to hear that, just like everyone in the room. I knew the group was in dire need of investors for the new project, but I didn't understand why Tyson, who has so much pent anger towards our family suddenly wanted to propose a deal.No one would fall for that.“Mr. Reed, I think there must be a mistake we have..” I was talking, but my uncle cut off my words. “What did you mean when weighing options became a problem, and I said earlier that Mr. Reed has a better proposal for us.” My uncle says.I watched as the man, who followed Tyson, which I suspected to be his assistant, went around with a proposal, and he handed one to me.I gazed through the proposal, and my eyes widened when I saw the amount Tyson was investing in the project.“$100,000,000?” I screamed, and everyone in the room was equally surprised. That's a lot of money, and even though our company has amassed wealth we aren't worth more than, and I glanced at Tyson wondering why he would invest that mu

    Zina's POV The air in the room suddenly felt hot, and I felt suffocated staring at my uncle. I knew with Anna's striking resemblance to Tyson there was no denying it, he could tell.“I was wondering why you don't want my beautiful Anna to live with us, so this is it?” my uncle asked standing from his seat, and he waved goodbye to Anna before he went out of the room, but I followed him“I'm sorry, uncle I can..” I was saying, but a slap from him cut me off.“Did you have fun fooling me?” How does it feel asking your baby daddy to play games with me?“I didn't know about that belief..” I pleaded, but he didn't listen.“Move back in, we are going to have this talk later!” My uncle ordered, and I watched him leave without saying a word.I stood in the hallway for a very long time without moving, and only left the spot when a nurse came to tell me that the doctor was looking for me. I panicked to hear that because the doctor's office was starting to look like a grim reaper office. I enter

    Zina's POV “That's right, I'm moving out the house uncle, so you can keep all your choking rules to yourself!” I rant, and that was the first time I would be going against my uncle after moving back to the house.The fear that he would hurt Anna, or even take her away scared me to the bone, but he has worn me out. The fear of losing Anna trumped everything at the moment.“Are you high? Or are you perhaps drunk? Do you think I have the time to listen to your nonsense? Instead of you to think about your engagement and..” my uncle was saying, but I cut him off.“About that, there won't be any engagement. That man is a dangerous man, and I don't get involved with the games you are playing with him. Count me out.”“Are you rebelling against me, Zina Blackwood?” He asked. “Yes, isn't that obvious? I'm moving out, and you can't stop me.”“If you step out of this place, just know you are dead to me!” He roared, but I was done.I was done letting him push me around, I would be responsible for

    Zina's POVI walked out of the doctor's office like a zombie after I heard what's going on with Anna. I couldn't believe that my little girl could be suffering such a fate. Even though the doctor says she would be fine now, I knew that might not be all.“Anna, my baby.” I hugged her tightly to my body, and that's when I noticed that she had become thinner, and frail.How could I not have noticed that?“Mummy, you are squeezing me.” She breathed, and I quickly let go of her. “I'm sorry, baby, mummy just missed you.” I said.“I know, that's why I want to live with you.” She says.“Oh my! Does that mean you don't like living with me?” Sister Mary asked, acting offended, and the innocent Anna panicked. “No, I mean I would like to live with you, and Mommy.” She smiled brightly, and I wondered if she was really sick.“Mom, when can I leave? I don't like it here, and the nurse always comes in with a tiny stick to pinch me.” Anna complained. “Very soon, but not now.”“Really? Because I would

    Zina's POV The boardroom sprawled into an uproar after what Tyson said, but I was rather calm. I saw this coming which was why I asked my uncle not sign a contract with him, but it seems my uncle has other plans.“This is not possible! I'm sure this clause wasn't part of the contract the day we signed!” My uncle flared, but the board members weren't listening to a bit of it.“Are you pulling our legs right now? Did you mean that you didn't read the contract before you signed it!” The board members went berserk, and it required great effort to calm them down.“Gentlemen!” My uncle shrieked, gaining the board members attention.“Ladies too. There are women here.” One of the female board members said, and I chuckled. I was enjoying the show.“My bad,” my uncle apologized, “I know you are all angry, and also confused, so I'm going to ask Mr. Reed, why he trapped us into signing a contract with a loop like that. I'm not a mad man to give my company to another.”“I don't think you have th

    Tyson's POV The car was incredibly awkward as it travelled the city's road, but I was beyond mad to enjoy the beautiful city.‘How could she do that to me?’ I mulled in my head, and my head aches just thinking of that. If it wasn't for self-control I would have strangled the man beside her.“Are you okay, boss?” Victor asked.“Yes, but remind me another time not to get involved in things that have nothing to do with me. I wouldn't want people to think I'm a monster.”“Did you mean, Miss Blackwood?” He asked, and I shot him a glare. “No!”“But why are you angry, though? Perhaps you are angry that Miss Blackwood dined there with another man?” Victor asked, and I glared at him.“You aren't allowed to speak for the rest of the day, Victor.” I blurted, and the car screeched in front of the villa.I got down from the car, and I noticed that Victor kept following me, and that got on my nerves.“Can you stop following me, Victor? Did you have something you wanted to say?” I rasped.“Yes, I n

    Zina's POV I was too shocked to move, and even though people were making calls to the police, Tyson didn't bulge.“What have you done?” Someone screamed, and I deduced the person was the manager.“What did you mean? I took care of a trash.” He said, with a shrug and my face was filled with horror.“That's not a trash, that's a human!” I screamed, and I was also surprised by my action. “Looks like the lady has an opinion?” Tyson mocked, and I gritted my teeth in annoyance. “You could have..” I was talking, but a lady's voice interrupted my words.“Thank you so much, sir!” A lady rasped, slumping to the floor, and I noticed that her clothes were torn.“What happened, Clara? Did he hurt you?” The manager rushed to the girl.“No, he saved me from that monster..he wanted to..” the girl stammered as she wailed, she explained how Tyson came to her rescue before the man could have his way with her.“Wow!” Everyone cooed hearing Tyson's heroic actions, but I felt embarrassed knowing how I th

    Zina's POV “That’s not possible! I wouldn't consent to that.” I blurted, and the man beside me smirked seeing my reaction.That creepy smile!“No uncle, please anyone but him.” I pleaded.“Wow, you haven't changed one bit Zina, still the same feisty girl, I remembered.” He chuckled, and my skin crawled in disgust hearing his voice.He has one of the most irritating voices I have ever heard, and not to talk of the scary scar on the right side of his face which I heard was because he almost got burnt by one of his men.“Too bad, I don't have a good memory of you, Mr. Rufus. In fact, you are a nightmare to me.” I breathed, remembering the ill-fate between us.He was the reason that Tyson and I crossed paths in the first place. The reason I ran away from home, and never to return, but it seems I couldn't escape this fate after all.How could I ask to marry such a dangerous man? And that for the second time.“Uncle, this is not possible, you can't be serious, right?” I asked, but he didn'

    Zina's POV The hallway felt really small as Tyson, and I stared at each other. I knew there was no way I would tell him what was going on with me.“Cat got your tongue? Why are you not saying anything?” Tyson asked, as he got closer, but at that moment someone called my name from behind.“Zina? Is that you?” Craig called, and my eyes lightened up with excitement.“Craig!” I rushed to him escaping Tyson's trap, and held on to his hand which I noticed made it awkward, but he brushed it off.“What are you doing here?” I whispered, and he told me that he was out to visit his grandmother.“Can you explain to me, what's going on here, Zina? You know I'm not a patient man.” Tyson said through gritted teeth.“I'm here to visit Craig's grandmother, but I got here before him, which was the reason I had to wait for him.” I said, and Craig stiff a laugh.“What are you saying? I don't know if you guys are that close, to visit each other's grandmother.” Tyson asked, but I didn't bother with Tyson

    Zina's POV After my visit to Tyson's mansion, I was back home, but I couldn't shake the uneasiness that was bogging my mind ever since I left his place. Or should I say I felt uncomfortable?It was like I was being watched by some dangerous people, or I could just be paranoid because I was doing things behind my uncle which could end badly if he found out about it.“What's this feeling?” I mumbled as I got out of the car, but immediately I stepped into the mansion and bumped into some scary looking men.“Hiya Mr. Blackwood, your niece is beautiful, what did you think about us being in-laws?” One of the scary looking men joked, and my uncle only smiled politely as he escorted them out.I watched as the men zoomed out of the compound with one of them winking at me, and I wondered when my uncle started keeping such scary companies.“You are back,” my uncle acknowledged as he walked into the living room, and I joined him.“What's going on, uncle? Is there something that I should know?” I
