Zina's POV

I was dragged to the bar after a long day at work by Carolina, even though I wanted to back out, but she didn't take a no for an answer.

“I don't understand why we have to be here when we have to go back to work early tomorrow.” I said as I took a seat, not without the drunk men gawking at my friend, and I.

“That's the point girl, you need to have a hangover so you don't get hung over at work.” She said with a wink, and I shook my head at her crazy utterance.

We ordered drinks, and not long enough we were drowning ourselves in liquor, but I made sure to drink little because my uncle would flip if I missed work because of a hangover.

“So, tell me, how do you feel seeing Tyson again?” Carolina asked.

I paused with her question, but I quickly masked my expression. “Nothing, it was great seeing him again.” I lied.

When I saw him after a long time, I thought my heart was going to burst because of excitement, and I was scared too. Scared that my uncle was going to tear him apart

    Zina's POVTyson dragged me to the bar entrance, but I tried to get back in because I was scared that the man might be really dead. What if he got locked?“Are you crazy? 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. While I was looking for Tyson, I thought he

    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

    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

    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

    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 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 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 lost myself in the kiss as his lips touched mine, I felt a jolt of electricity run through my entire body. His mouth was warm and gentle, and I couldn't help but melt into the kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck, deepening the kiss, and felt his hands slide around my waist, pulling me closer. The world around us faded away, leaving only the two of us, lost at the moment. His touch, kiss was just the way I remembered..soft yet passionate.“Mhmm mhmm,” I moaned into the kiss as Tyson's tongue wagged in my mouth.“Ahh!” I heard a scream behind us, and that jerked me away from Tyson as I broke the kiss, and I turned around to see Carolina gaping at us with her mouth wide open.“Carolina..it's not like that,” I tried to explain, but it looked like I already traumatized the girl.“No, don't explain it's my fault. I should have knocked before I entered, maybe I would have saved myself from such a premium X-rated show.” She said, and fled out of the room.“Carolina, it's..s

    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.
