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 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

    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 “No, that's not happening, Tyson, are you not going somewhere? You can go now, I will be sure to keep an eye on Anna.” I said, pushing Tyson away. I could tell that Bianca had her eyes otherwise on his, and that makes my skin crawl with jealousy. “Ok, stay out of trouble, and if anything comes up, call me.” Tyson said, and walked away giving me a peck on my forehead.“Goodbye, Mr. Reed.” Bianca muttered, and I was surprised to hear her address Tyson as such.“Mr. Reed? How do you know his name? Are you not just meeting each other?” Carolina asked.“Were you not here when Zina introduced us? You are still dumb as ever.” Bianca snapped, letting her gentle demeanor slip, and I was confused if all her actions earlier could be true.“Oh, nice that Tyson is gone, are you finally letting your mask off? I have been expecting that, but whatever you are thinking in that fish brain of yours, don't you ever think of hurting my friend!” Carolina warned, and just heart sweep seeing how

    Zina's POV “So you mean Bianca was here, and you told Tyson everything?” Carolina asked with a raised brow, and I nodded my head.She was back to the hospital the next day since she wasn't able to have a talk with me last night.“Wow! That's so much information!” Carolina gasped, and I sighed. That reaction was expected. I also felt like I was about to lose my mind, with the recent events.I couldn't even worry properly about Anna, which was still recovering because I felt that those people could attack me anytime soon. I don't even know why Bianca came back to the country. I was sure she came back to get back at me, but what would she do?“So what are you planning to do? Don't you think you should leave the country first? I mean running away is the best option now because you don't know what that raving dog could be up to,” Carolina says, and I knew her worries weren't unfounded.“But where could I go?” I pondered.“I don't know, but somewhere safe from that lunatic, do you forget t

    Bianca's POV I felt the chilly wind hit my face as I stared at the ocean. It has been years since I came here because it brought me peace, but strangely it was different tonight.“Ahh!” I screamed as I kicked my leg on the beach sand. I couldn't calm down, no matter how I think of it.I just came back to the country after so many years only to be ridiculed like this. How could my father treat me like this?“It wasn't enough that he sent me away years ago, he wants to force me to get married now, right?” I mumbled, and my eyes got misty with tears remembering what happened back then.I wasn't my father's favorite, but I assumed that he would side with me back then knowing I didn't do anything wrong, but he chose Zina over me.He chose Zina over her own daughter, Zina, who cost me everything and lived without regret while I was exiled out of the country.“I'm going to make all of them pay!” I hollered, and my scream mixed with the ocean waves. I only came back to the country thinking

    Luther's POV I watched as Bianca gazed at me in shock, and I was expecting to throw tantrums because of her earlier outburst, but she was strangely calm. She just stared at me with an unreadable expression, and I had to look away because her gaze was eating me up.“Why are you not saying anything? Are you not shocked?” Ethan asked, breaking the silence, and Bianca chuckled lightly.I hate her calm demeanor. It made her unreadable, or could that be because we just met after a long time, I thought, gazing back at her.“Do you want me to be shocked, father? Or you want me to throw a tantrum? Yes, the news disturbed me, but it wasn't what you weren't capable of. I mean you sent off your only daughter for years, this is nothing.” She said, and my face hardened hearing her words.I couldn't deny her claims, but I wasn't expecting her to take it that calmly. “So did you mean you don't have a problem getting married?” I asked.“Yes, but do you think the groom won't have a problem with a dis

    Luther's POV “Mr. Kingston, don't hang up, it's not what you think..I am going to..” I was saying, not that call went off. A heavy sigh escaped my mouth, and I felt myself losing it. Why is everything going wrong?“Why is nothing working out?” I screamed, and smashed my phone on the floor. My blood was boiling, if I didn't find a solution, the company that I built with my swear would end up in the wrong hands.I mustn't let that happen, but what could I do?“And it's all that asshole fault! I know he is the one pulling the string.” I flared, and threw the vase at the door, but the door creaked open at the moment, and Ethan stepped in.“Ahh!” He screamed when the vase landed on his bandaged head, but I was too occupied to care about his whine.“What are you doing here? Did you get discharged already?” I asked, taking a seat, as I watched Ethan walk towards me, swallowing his pain. He knew better to act sissy when our world is falling apart.“Actually, I decided to get discharged beca

    Zina's POVFlashback8 Years AgoIt was a gloomy day in school, and as a senior in high school, I always have mischievous thoughts of skipping school, which always got me in trouble with my uncle, but today wasn't an exception either.“Bianca, did you want to skip school after this?” I asked Bianca, my cousin while in history class m, and she turned pale like she had seen a ghost.Bianca was a nerd, and always played by the book even at that age wasn't still my uncle's favorite because he didn't see the goodness in having a girl around.“Have you lost it? Don't tell me you want to skip school again? I mean you just got out of detention, you weren't planning to go back there, right?” She asked if I'm shocked, but a glare from the history teacher shut us up.“Why are you worried? It's not like

    Tyson's POV I never believed that Zina would be so shy after our kiss, but I couldn't tell myself. Seeing her standing at the room's door brought up memories of when we were so in love, and my feelings for her resurfaced that I couldn't help but kiss her. “But why is she avoiding me? Am I some kind of monster to her?” I blurted, and ruffled my hair in anger as I strolled the hospital hallway, and unconsciously I was walking towards Anna's room.“What am I doing here?” I mumbled, as my steps faltered, and I knew Zina was the reason I came to the place in the first place, but I wasn't going to admit it.“I'm just going to see Anna.” I justified, but I felt a figure behind me, and my senses heightened, but before I could make a move the person spoke.“Don't attack me, boss!” Victor blurted, as he appeared from my back, and I hissed in frustration.“What are you doing sneaking up on me? Do you want to get attacked so badly?” I asked, and he just chuckled.“No, I didn't sneak up, you jus

    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.
