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 I walked back to the boardroom, and I wasn't surprised that Craig was still having a meeting with my uncle, and from his gaze, I could tell that it wasn't going well.“How could you go back on your words, Mr. Blackwood? You begged me to make this investment, and..” I heard Craig say that, but my uncle cut him off.“Why are you acting as if you did that because you like me, you asked for something in return too, didn't you?” My uncle asked, as he glanced at me, and I felt disgusted.Did he ask me to take over the project because he made a deal with Craig? How messed up could he be?“Maybe you are right, but with what you just did I could already tell you aren't a good business partner, so I'm calling off the deal.” I heard Craig say, and his partners agreed.“Oh really? That's bad, but don't worry your little investment won't be missed.” He said, and Craig walked out of the boardroom angrily, but not without having a word with me.“Did you know about this?” He asked.“Do I

    Tyson's POV The drive home after I left Blackwood corporation was silent, as Victor didn't say a word even though I could tell that he had a lot of things to say.“Stop sighing already, and ask away.” I breathed out after getting enough of his constant sighs.“I'm sorry, I didn't know that my sighs got on your nerves, but I don't understand why you are investing so much in the Blackwood corporation if you want it. You can get it without investing.” He says.“And who says I'm investing?” I asked, with a smirk. The meeting with Luther Blackwood today was all a camouflage because I knew a man like himself would trust even a conman as long as money was involved. I needed to blind him with money, so his fall could be more severe. “Oh, you are not then I don't think Miss Blackwood needs to be concerned then.” He said as he resumed going through the iPad in his hands.My jaws tightened hearing Zina's name, and my mind jolted back to our interaction earlier. I didn't know what came over me

We should go back in to check if he is alive?” I said, but he hissed in frustration.“Are you kidding me, right now? I just saved you, and you wanted to give back in?” He asked. “Yes, I just can't leave a man to bleed to death! I have to help him.”“You have to help him? Did I misunderstand the situation?” He blurted.“What did you mean?” I asked.“Maybe the man wasn't harassing you after all. What are you now? A slut that sells her body after..” Tyson said, but I cut him off with a slap.“What? A slut? You have really lost your mind? How dare you…you should know that I'm not that kind of person, but what do I know, you aren't the Tyson I knew.” I heaved.“And so? Are you also the Zina I knew? Definitely not because you are just a pathetic liar? Everything about you was a lie!” He screamed, and I saw hurt in his eyes

    Zina's POV I smiled awkwardly as I stared at Tyson, who was prying to see who I was hiding behind her, but I couldn't let that happen.“Hello, Mr. Reed, nice running into you.” I flushed.“You didn't run into me, but I came here to meet you, so can you answer my questions now?” He asked, and I nodded my head.I cracked my head on what you said, but I knew there was no way I would admit that Anna was our child together.“She is Carolina's daughter, you know her, right?” I said, still hiding her behind me.Carolina, I apologize, but I really need to save myself, I mulled in my head, but I noticed that Tyson didn't buy the story.“Really? Then where is that Carolina?” He asked, and I bit my lips knowing that he would find it suspicious that I was babysitting my friend's daughter so early in the morning.“That's because she slept at my place last night.” I blurted.I was so stunned at how smooth my lies were, but I wasn't planning to back down.

    Tyson's POV I watched the sunrise, with a melancholy look, and I couldn't help but remember Zina and I promised each other a bank then.“I love you so much, and I don't think I will ever survive without you.” Zina giggled snuggling into my embrace.“Hmm me too,” I said gently because I was always a person of little words, but with Zina's there was no room for such.“What's that? Did you mean I'm the only love sick here, don't you love me too?” She asked.“No, that's not it. I also love you so much, I want you to be the person that I wake up, and watch the sunrise with.” I said with a shy smile, and she smiled as she kissed me.“I'm going to cherish you forever, Tyson.” She vowed, as her laughter rang through the old studio, and that alone filled my heart.“That liar, how could she lie so boldly, and what life did she abandon me for? She couldn't even enjoy that,” I mumbled, and walked out of the balcony having had enough of the view.I didn't get enough sleep last night after Zina's

    Zina's POV I was beyond appalled by what I just heard. I knew my uncle was desperate, but I didn't know he would stop so low to take matters into his hands, and not trust me with it.“How could he do that!” I mumbled under my breath, but I was conscious when I saw Tyson's eyes on me. I looked away immediately not wanting to get trapped in his beautiful eyes.What he said outside was lingering on my mind. I wouldn't lie I was considering it, but wasn't planning to take it.“Why will I deal with such a dangerous man?” I mumbled, but people's gossip was irritating as they didn't mind hiding their displeasure.“The Blackwood are something seeing how they are clinching on that poor guy!” They all gossiped loudly.After the announcement my uncle left the hall, and I knew that was my cue to ask questions, and to also escape Tyson’s watchful gaze. I followed my uncle to question him about his actions, but I stumbled over him, and Ethan arguing.“Why are you doing this, Dad? It makes us look

    Tyson's POV Everyone looked at me surprised after the outburst, but he wasn't having it. He clearly was trying to set Zina up with me, but the fact that it was the same man, who deemed unworthy years ago. How could anyone be so two-faced?“Did I say something wrong?” He asked.“No, I just wondered if you really think that you are a good judge of character.” I breathed.I looked at Luther wondering if he even knew what he was getting into with me. I knew that he was a cunning man, but he was more creative than I thought.“What are you saying, Mr. Reed?” He asked, and I composed myself. I tried not to act rash because I almost lost myself hearing his belittling words, but I mustn't let him caught up on my identity. “Nothing, I think I should_” I was saying, but trailed off as Luther’s assistant walked to him, and whispered something in his ear.I smirked knowing what disaster I just rolled out for him there was no way that wouldn't shake the Blackwood corporation.“What are you sayin

    Zina's POV Tyson's collaboration with my company was broadcasted on all broadcasting houses, which was solely sponsored by my uncle. That was his way to show people that the Blackwood group was still as strong as ever.“And the rollercoaster begins again.” I breathed, staring at the mirror as I dabbed my face with little makeup. I had to attend the banquet which was held to commemorate the partnership, but I didn't want to go because after my deal with my uncle I felt guilty towards Tyson.Not only did he get fooled by me years ago, I still would fool him this time around again.“Yes, I'm such a horrible person.” I huffed, and I hurried because the banquet starts soon.The banquet would be held in the mansion, and board members and business associates were all going to be in attendance. I knew that it was because they were all curious about who had the new money in town. They all just wanted to submit their proposal, and see if the new money in town has money to purge.“Zina, are you

    Zina's POVI breathed a sigh of relief as I watched Tyson walk out of the company, and I knew I got lucky this time around, I wouldn't be lucky another time.“That was so close!” I breathed.“What was so close?” Someone whispered in my ears, and I jolted in fear. “Oh my goodness, Carolina! You scared me!” I complained, glaring at my friend.“Whatever, so about earlier, I don't know when I had a baby? Does this mean Anna is mine, and I can have her now?” She asked, and I eyed her angrily.“I'm sorry, Carolina, but I was just in a pickle.” I apologized. “And stop saying nonsense, you know I said that because of Tyson. Unfortunately for me, I bumped into Tyson while I went out with Anna this morning, and he asked me whose daughter she is, so I had to lie,” I explained.“Oh, so you mean I'm the best person who fits that criteria?” She asked, and I shook my head.“But why are you hiding her, though? I mean Tyson looks more capable to get you, and Anna out of your uncle's grip,” she said.“Y

    Tyson's POV I watched as the two women exchanged looks, and I chuckled at the naivety. How could they be bad at lying?“Yes, Carolina. Remember you asked me to pick up your daughter.” I watched Zina say nervously, and her blond friend nodded her head.“Yes, I think I asked you to do that. My daughter is quite adorable, but I couldn't feed her breakfast this morning, so I asked..” the blond girl said after catching up on the act, but I interrupted her.“Breakfast? Didn't she sleep at Zina's?” I asked, and Zina looked like she was a step away from crying.“Yes, I mean, I missed giving her breakfast because she slept at her aunt Zina's house. My darling daughter must have missed me. I should go call her.” She said, rushing off, leaving Zina alone with me.“So your friend is married, but I didn't see a ring on her finger.” I taunted.“Not everyone needs a ring to be married or an elaborate wedding to stay married, as long as you love the person you picked, but sometimes you might be wron
