View MoreZoey assisted Zander with cleaning his wounds and applying some ointment and while her gentle hands ran through his skin, he could not help but feel tickles of emotions, his gaze pierced deeply at this woman he never thought was capable of being this nice because, for him, everyone from the Sebastian family were all dangerous. “Can you stop staring at me like that” She complained, getting uncomfortable with his deep stare. “I am sorry, I can't help it, your eyes can sweep any man off his feet”. He let out, she tilted her head up to stare at him and a smirk curled across his lips. “Don't bother flirting with me, I do not date broke guys” She teased and he could not help but chortle loudly. “That was funny! You think that I would want to date a girl like you, stop dreaming, I like my women more sophisticated and not a cook”. He teased her back and she scoffs loudly at him in disbelief, throwing a pillow at him and he purposely let it hit him in the face. “Get some sleep, you need i
Zoey strides back to the kitchen and Kevin tags behind, his gaze tender on her, a flush hint of guilt filled his face, but Zoey was too engrossed in her work to notice his expression. “Look, Zoey, I am sorry that I did not come to your aid, but with those guys, it is pretty dangerous and you could lose your life, so next time please learn to be careful”“It is alright, I understand how these things work now, I will be more careful next time, I just didn't think that they would act so aggressively” She replied and continued her work. Kevin pats her shoulder before going back to his duty, all this while Zander pretends to be so busy but is hooked up in their discussion. Once they threw for the day, Zoey helped Zander clean up the dishes that were left considering he was slow and his hands had turned sore. Zander left earlier while she carefully made sure that things were in order before leaving. He held out his phone as he stood on the other side of the road dialing out his driver
Outside the restaurant stood Mrs. Elizabeth, a domineering aura around her as she stood aloof waiting for Zoey, and as soon as Zoey stepped out, she glared at her disdainfully. “How long did you think that you were going to run?”“Mother!”“Don't you ever address me in such a manner, I will never give birth to a ruthless child like you, how could you be so cruel even to your father who has been there for you through thick and thin?”“Whatever brought you here, you should be fast about it, I need to get back to work”“And you think that I am going to let you get back inside there, you need to come with me and complete the wedding because Mr. Clint is brushing down our neck”“If there is a debt that you should pay, then go ahead and settle it, because I am not going to be a scapegoat for a ruthless man like Zander Clint”.She replied and a loud smack landed hard on her cheek, red print immediately visible while she held onto her face and tried to soothe it. Zoey could feel the tears b
Zander watched her twisting and turning his hands for a while before he finally pulled away from her. “ Why did you agree to pay the bill for the meal for me? ”.“ I don't know, we experience customers who come here all the time with such excuses, and most of the time they all turn out to be false, but in your case, I actually believe it”.“ I will pay you back, I promise! ”. She smiles and nods her head at him. “ Now that you know how dishes are washed, go ahead and continue”.“ Why not get a dishwasher”. He suggested with his brows furrowed, the thought of why people would go through so much stress to get a particular thing done baffled him, but Zoey laughed sarcastically at his suggestion. “ A dishwasher? Seriously have you taken a good look at this restaurant, again I get that you look all polished and mighty, but you are not dared yet so you can drop the act”.“ Zoey! ”. The other waitress Brittany hurried in. “ We have an order for beef sauce”. She exclaimed and her eyes fell
Zander Clint dressed in a tailored suit with the fabric draping elegantly across his broad shoulders. His jerry crew hair was perfectly coiffed and not a single strand was out of place his movement was precise and measured, and every one of his gestures was carefully calculated. Everyone at the restaurant swirls their head in his direction the moment the doorbell swings and his presence is announced by his strong and intoxicating perfume. Zander Clint desperately searched for Zoey for six months, and when Ethan finally sent her location to him, he had to go there himself and see the face of the girl who had humiliated him before he could finally go after Alex. Zoey was able to secure a job after she left Chicago in Freetown, although the restaurant was a small one compared to the large hotel where she worked in Chicago, she was still making a few bucks and never failed to send them to Nanny Rose who was in charge of taking care of her mother. “ Good dark, sir, welcome to our resta
Mr Zander Clint kept waiting consistently at the altar for the bride who was meant to solidify his position as the CEO of CLINT EMPIRE, but no one came through the door. There was mumbling among the guests seated at the church and when everyone was getting uncomfortable, a few began to strode out of the church. Zander wanted the ground to open that instant and swallow him, but he was also curious about the whereabouts of his bride and why she dared keep him waiting. He strutted out of the church and his gaze fell on Alex who stood at the corner of the door with his family, their expression gave them away and there he knew that something was wrong. “ What is going on? ”. He inquired standing elegantly six feet in front of Alex and his wife who was trembling. “ Where is the bride that we agreed on? ”. His voice dark that they felt their skin melting in front of him. “ Mr… Mr…. Mr Clint… there has been a delay, but she…. She….will be here in a while”. He stutters and does not dare
It was three days later and on the day of the wedding, Zoey sat on a stool in her room while Eva helped her out with some makeup on her face. Once she was done, she stood up with the large and long wedding gown she wore, it was out of her size but Mrs Sebastian did not care about that and went ahead to purchase a larger size. She held onto the rim of the big wedding gown in other to prevent herself from falling through it and downstairs stood Her father, stepmother, and Sasha all dressed in the most beautiful and expensive designer. “ Oh my God Zoey, you look so beautiful! ”. Mrs. Sebastian expressed and she could feel the sarcasm in her voice. “ I told your mother that this was the perfect size for her and I guess I was right”. Sasha chipped in and chuckled. “ Ignore them, Zoey, you just need to get through today and you will be out of this house”.Eva who stood beside her whispered, Zoey forced a smile on her face and stride towards them. “ I know that this is difficult for yo
Zoey stood still, not sure how much time went by before she finally spoke. “ You fixed a date for my wedding and I am just hearing about it? ”.“ It was a rush decision and you are lucky that it is you he wants”. Alex expressed and she scoffed sarcastically at the word that just flew out of his mouth. Although Zoey wasn't into the internet or any celebrity news, she had heard so much about him and the bad reputation that preceded him. “ I am sorry but I am not getting married to Zander Clint”.“ Zoey, this is not a decision you have a say in it”.“ It is my life and revolves around me, so I should have a say”.“ I am sorry darling, but you do not have a say in it!! Get ready while Sasha and I pick a wedding gown for you tomorrow, I believe that is all you will be needing right? ”.Elizabeth inquired. “ And if I chose not to be present there? ”.“ Then you will have your mother's Corpse in your hand by nightfall”. Alex replied in a dark tone that sent a shiver down her spine. “ W
In a stately mansion in Chicago stood two couples in the grand living room, where the floors were made of gleaming hardwood and the windows were draped with heavy and luxurious curtains. The air around them seemed dark and intense and behind the large double door stood Sasha eavesdropping on their conversation. “ We can't let our daughter get married to someone like him, he is dangerous and might end up hurting her ”.Mrs Elizabeth Sebastian Cried out with her jaws tightened, revealing those wrinkles above her eyelid. She was in her late fifties but was still a beauty with fair and smooth skin, although her shape was slacked a little, her waist was still curved and hung firmly around her sequin gown. “ What do you expect me to do, he is a dangerous man and there is no way we will be able to raise the money we owe him, this is our only option”. Her husband Mr Alex Sebastian who was in a dilemma ran his finger through his gray hair as he sighed loudly. “ Never! I would rather go do
