Love Me Fiercely Chapter 21
Yana's PoVZach dropped me off at work an hour ago and shit hit the fan the moment I stepped inside the building. A high-level meeting has been convened, and my presence is required. Looking at Sapphire, she's worried, so I try to reassure her."Listen, maybe it's about the promotions or event changes." I state hopefully, but she's sweating bullets at this point.Sapph sighs and wrings her hands together, "I don't think so,Damon was super pissed when he came in. He's the one who called the meeting."I halt my steps instantly; Damon never schedules meetings on his own. That is usually something he tells me to handle. Upon entering the room, the incessant chatter stops, Damon smirks and points towards the single seat on the left.The CEO Sam Blackstone is flanked by Board Chairman Travis Wright, HR Manager Suzan Chambers, Damon, and the hotel secretary Alyssa Berry. Taking a seat, I tighten my hands around the folders in my hands, getting up for a fight.Damon clears his throat and smir
Love Me Fiercely Chapter 22
Yana's PoVEverything seems to be happening in a daze, my mind is blank and my heart hasn't stopped racing. Zach brought me home and called Laura but I haven't said a single word to either of them. Zach sighs for the hundredth time, running his hand down his face."Baby, please tell me what happened." He pleads softly.Laura follows suit, clasping her warms hands around mine. "Sis, talk to me please. Even Alex is worried about you." She shows me thr thread of messages between them.Fresh tears roll in torrents down my face and I swipe them angrily. "The bastard accused ME of leaking company documents, can you believe that?!" I shout.Zach's face instantly contorts in anger while Laura gasps loudly. "Wh..what? Tell me that's not so!" His breathing becomes laboured instantly.I laugh but it's sad, "Yep, it's a good thing I started using IP addresses to track certain things." Chuckling, I run my hand through my hair. "He must've forgotten because that's how I proved my innocence."Zach
Love Me Fiercely Chapter 23
Zach's PoVKyle has been pacing the office since I told him about Laura's situation. He's adamant that he's not worried but I know better."You know you can just call her right?" I tease, making him stop and glare at me.Kyle slams his hands on my desk, "Say something again and I'll knock your ass out!" He snarls viciously.Holding my hands up, I shake my head. "Your constant pacing is making me dizzy. Sit yo ass down bro."He growls but obeys my command. Kyle's leg starts bouncing as he speaks. "You're sure he didn't hurt her?"Sighing, I toss my pen unto my desk, "For the last time NO!" Pushing my chair back, I tower over him. "Anything you need to know. ask Laura.""Ask me what?" She says entering the office with her iPAD in hand. Kyle stiffens and frowns at me as he realises that I had set him up.He stands to pull her chair out and help with her bag. "Umm, I just wanted to know about the new properties you'd mentioned."I scoff, gaining Laura's undivided attention. "You know dam

Yana's PoVThe interminable wait to hear the outcome of the investigation is finally over! I'm currently seated in the conference room, waiting on everyone else to arrive. My legs are shaking beneath the table, and my palms are sweating profusely. The door opening causing me to jump in fright. Sam enters with a friendly smile, he's preceded by Travis, Alyssa and Damon. Pleasantries are exchanged, then I take up my phone to distract myself."Can't wait to fire you Yana." Damon says in a hushed whisper when Sam and Travis are out of earshot. "It'll be my absolute pleasure!"I scoff at his boldness,"For someone who likes to force himself on women, you're extremely confident today."His smile disappears instantly and is replaced with a scowl. "Your true colors are finally showing."Hissing my teeth, I slide my chair back to grab some coffee. Alyssa approaches me nervously, "I'm really sorry for everything, you don't deserve this Yana."A woeful expression lines her face, but I dig my hee

Zach's PoVI'm at my wits end where Yana is concerned at this point. After her meeting at work, we spoke at length, and I've been begging her to take out a restraining order against Damon.She refused to do so, claiming she doesn't want to worsen the situation. Is she waiting for him to make the first move? Entering the kitchen, she's seated at the island having breakfast. "Good morning." I state dryly.Yana glances up at me briefly, "Morning, your breakfast is in the microwave."Sighing, I retrieve it and opt to eat in silence. I watch vigilantly as she eats, washes her plate and attempts to leave."So you're still mad at me then." I scoff and scrape the remaining food into the garbage.She huffs in annoyance, "Why are you so hell bent on me getting that restraining order, Zach?"My eyes widen in disbelief, "You can't be serious right now Yana! Are you even hearing yourself?"She hisses her teeth and attempts to walk away but I block her path. "Have you forgotten that he assaulted yo
Love Me Fiercely Chapter 26
Yana's PoVMen are dogs! I keep repeating that in my head as I drive home after leaving Zach's house. I should have known this was too good to be true! I called Laura, and to say she's pissed is an understatement! Needing some peace and quiet, I detour and head towards Coney Island. Fifteen minutes later, I arrive, park and start walking down the boardwalk.Zach calls me repeatedly, but I don't even want to talk to him right now. Laura calls and I answer immediately, "Hey sis, what's up?"She sighs at the sound of my trembling voice. "Oh honey. Don't beat yourself up okay." Laura advises, but I lose my composure immediately."I'm gonna kill him, Laura! He promised he wouldn't hurt me!" I yell in a shrill tone.She gasps, undoubtedly shocked by my threat. My fuse has gotten shorter over the years, especially after the shit I've been through!"You don't mean that, Yan. I know you're hurting but please don't make any hasty decisions." Laura pleads, but it falls on deaf ears."Zach better
Love Me Fiercely Chapter 27
Zach's PoVHearing Yana telling me to give her space felt like she stabbed and twisted the knife in my gut. As I enter the house, Kyra rushes to the living room but stops suddenly. "Where is Yana?""Not now Kyra, okay." I state sternly. She glares at me and storms upstairs. A few seconds later, her bedroom door slams loudly.Plopping unto the couch, I lean my head back and run a hand over my face tiredly. I start replaying our conversation in my mind and cringe. Natasha is really a pain in my ass! I gave my attorney Ramon Suarez strict instructions to get a restraining order, so I'm waiting on an update.I must've dosed off for a few minutes because the incessant ringing of my phone wakes me up."Hey Laura, what's up?" I ask concerned.She groans, "Listen, you need to come get your girl! She's driving me crazy!" I can hear Yana's voice in the background but her words are incoherent.I chuckle, "Wish I could help you, but she says she needs space."Laura screams, "Forget that shit! You

Yana's PoVRubbing my head slowly, I try to ease the throbbing pain I'm feeling as I wake up. I groan and attempt to exit the bed, but Zach tightens his hold on me.Groaning, I pry his hands off and drag myself to the bathroom to relieve myself. I look like I've been electrocuted, what the hell happened?As I exit, Zach chooses that moment to stir awake. "Hey baby, you okay?" He asks, opening his arms for me. I begrudgingly lay on him, and he starts rubbing my back."My head is about to split in two." I complain with a grimace.He eases up and then hands me two aspirins and a bottle of water, which I take gratefully.An awkward silence ensues between us until Zach clears his throat. "Laura told me to come..." He averts his gaze, "I'm gonna go, I know you need your space."Hearing him say it pained my heart, but I try to hold my composure. Leaning back against the headboard, I sigh deeply."We're still in the early stages but look at us Zach?" I reason.His eyes close briefly, "No re

Love Me Fiercely Epilogue
Yana's PoVThe past year has been simply amazing and filled with success for my entire family. Zach and I opened YAZ, the newest hotel a month ago, and I'm the Managing Director. We struggled to find a name until Laura combined the first letters of our names, including Azair's. The grand opening was dubbed the event of the year, with celebrities and top officials giving us rave reviews. I cemented my name in the industry from thereon, being featured in several business magazines because of my creative innovations and designs.Laura opened her own real estate firm with Zach and Kyle as her silent partners. She's now reeling in the big bucks, especially since she amassed a huge clientele in a short time. Kyle proposed three months after they became official, on Laura's birthday. My guess is that she got pregnant that night, as they are now expecting a baby girl!Sapphire is my assistant director, and she's absolutely amazing! Connor relentlessly pursued her until she finally gave in. T
Love Me Fiercely Chapter 84
Zach's PoVI'm officially hitched and off the market and I couldn't be any happier! Yana is fast asleep beside, most likely still exhausted from our escapades lastnight! The reception was wild and simply mind blowing as we partied all night, Jamaican style! I certainly released my inhibitions, and Yana definitely let her hair down.Easing her head from my arm, I slowly slip from the bed and go to check on Azair. I enter his room to see Kyra seated in the rocking chair feeding him. "Awwe you're such a good big sister!" I tease and pinch her cheek.Kyra slaps my arm, "I didn't think y'all would be awake til tomorrow. Lastnight was crazy!" She grins then hands Azair to me.I'm having a raging hangover but I'm trying not to let it show. Azair burps loudly and pukes on my shirt. "Way to go buddy." I smirk at him as he smiles at me.Kyra snickers, "He just loves you Dad, suck it up, or I'll tell Mom!"Flicking my finger against her forehead, I sit in the chair and turn the T.V on to catch

Yana's PoVAzair is fed and contented, and it's just in time for our vows! I still can't believe it's our wedding day because everything still feels surreal! Reverend Dunbar looks at me, excitement swirling in his eyes. "Ready to pledge your undying love my dear?" He grins, and I beam with pride."Definitely! I've been waiting for this moment all my life!"Zach smirks and takes my hands in his. He takes a deep breath and then starts reciting his vow:You are everything I could've ever dreamt of, and all that I'll ever need. Yana, you changed my life completely and I'll forever be grateful to you, especially for our son, Azair. My entire life is at your mercy, I vow to make every day better than the last for you from this day forward. Our family is now complete because of you and I am forever indebted to you. We've weathered many storms, even overcome several obstacles and I promise to be by your side to fight every battle together. I love you with every fibre of my being, and I always
Love Me Fiercely Chapter 82
Zach's PoVThree Months laterI still can't believe this day is finally here. True love really is a beautiful thing and I'm glad I took a second chance with Yana. Her indecisiveness resulted in us settling on a private ceremony with only our family, closest friends and a few associates.Standing at the altar for the last hour is actually wearing my patience thin! I'm just about ready to go find Yana and drag her here myself! Kyle dabs my sweaty forehead once again and snickers, "You sure Yana knows the wedding is today?"I swat his hand and glare at him. "Say that again and I'll knock your ass out!" I threaten, but he simply bumps Connor's shoulder and they laugh at my misery."I've never been this nervous in my entire life and y'all find this shit funny?" I grumble but it falls on deaf ears.Connor snorts, "Love is a beautiful thing and should not be rushed."How did I end up with these two as friends? Rolling my eyes, I ignore them and focus on Azair, who's playing with my tie.'Mom

Yana's PoVForty five minutes! That's how long Zach and I have been waiting on Ramon to get here! Calls to him keep going to voice-mail, so just imagine how pissed I am right now!The only reason I'm not riled up is because Khadijah kept her promise and has been sending me pictures with Azair. Zach nudges me, drawing my attention away from my phone. As I look up, my eyes lock with Ramon's and he gives me a sheepish grin. I instantly glare at him and stand up to greet him."Remind me again why Zach has you as his lawyer!" I seethe, my nostrils flaring for emphasis.He scratches the back of his head, "Sorry hun, I got into a minor fender bender."I'm almost inclined to believe, but Ramon is the Devil's spawn! "Pssshh, tell that to someone who doesn't know you Ramon." I slap his arm hard, much to Zach's amusement."Why are we here?" Zach asks as he folds his arms and widens his legs.Ramon points towards a nearby door and walks off. As we enter, I realise it's a large room with several

Zach's PoVAt exactly 11:30a.m, I grab my bag to head home to my family. As I'm exiting the office, I start whistling a happy tune and head towards the elevator. My phone starts ringing as I enter it to head downstairs. "Hey Suarez, what's up?" I ask skeptically.As my attorney, he only calls me when there's a problem that needs my immediate attention. He chuckles, "Let's get straight to it shall we?"I grunt, "What's the problem now, man?" I ask dejectedly.His response is marred by alot of wind, I instantly roll my eyes. Ramon is definitely driving with his windows down! Ughhhh! "Bro, I can't hear a damn thing you're saying!" I snarl. Nothing annoys me more than this, and he knows it!He cackles, "Shit, my bad bro. As I was saying..." Ramon starts but a fit of giggles in his background distracts him.Taking a deep breath, I roll my eyes and snap! "Ramon, for fucks sake, tell yo sidechick to shut it for a few minutes and focus! I don't have all day!"Unfortunately, the elevator opens

Zach's PoVAdjusting to Azair's sleep schedule has been a task, but Yana and I are making it work. Kyra chips in occasionally, but I've told her to focus on her exams.During the days, I go to the office for about four hours to tackle my backlog. It's gotten extremely busy, especially with new acquisitions, contracts, and properties.Khadijah stays with Yana to help her out with Azair and also monitor and report to Dr. Chambers. It's now 6:43a.m, and I'm feeding Azair, allowing Yana to sleep. "King, you gotta give Mommy a break at nights please." I whisper softly as he gazes up at me innocently.He looks at me as if he understand, but simply continues to drink from his bottle without a care in the world. "Mommy needs her rest, so take it easy on her, okay?"A few minutes later, I place him on my shoulder to burp him. As if taking revenge, he pukes all over my white tee and gurgles. "You little twat!" I exclaim then place him into his crib.Within minutes, he succumbs to sleep and I si

Yana's PoVOne week laterHome is really my happy place so I'm currently waiting for Zach to get us from the hospital. It's been a tumultuous journey, but it was all worth the wait! Azair and I are finally cleared to go home and he's scheduled for frequent appointments. His overbearing father even has a nurse on call, just to monitor him!Grabbing my phone, I call Laura since she didn't bother to visit us since Wednesday. "Hey sis, what's up?" She asks casually."Don't hey sis me. You didn't come to see me or your nephew in two days!" I retort.She huffs, "Sorry boo, but work has got me on a hampster wheel these past few days." I notice how tired she sounds and instantly regret my approach."Damn, you need to take a vacation sis." I state pitifully.Laura chuckles, "Yep, I really need some me time, so you better come get yo nephew-son."I mull it over for a few seconds, then a brilliant idea comes to mind. "I'm gonna work something out. Talk soon boo."I cut the call before she can st
Love Me Fiercely Chapter 77
Zach's PoVI'm elated that Yana is awake and by all indications, she's doing great! It feels like a huge weight has been lifted off my chest and I can finally breathe again!Laura and Alex were the first to arrive, and it was overwhelming just watching their interaction. I had to step out of the room to compose myself.I guess I'll be doing alot of that today! It's now 8:35a.m. and Dr. Chambers plans to bring Azair at 9:00a.m, once all his tests are completed."Uncle Zach, are you hungry?" Alex asks, and I nod yes. "Kyra and Kyle are grabbing breakfast across the street."Laura pats Yana's leg affectionately. "Please don't scare us like that ever again!" She pouts, causing us to erupt in laughter even though she's right."Mom is such an ugly crier,please,please don't make me have to witness that again, Aunty Yana!" Alex jokes but earns a slap from a sulking Laura.I chuckle, "I think I can safely say we've all seen each other at our worst!"They nod in agreement, and I peck Yana's li
