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
Zach's PoVThe meeting at Kyra's school ended and I'm about to blow a fuse! How the hell did they not realize three kids were bullying fifteen students constantly!The guidance counselor's lame excuse is that she'd met with the kids, and after the sessions, they shook hands and hugged each other.As I gather my stuff to leave, Principal Harrison approaches me. "Mr. Lindsay, once again, I apologize for everything."My nostrils flare instantly, "Oh really? The energy you have demanding donations should also be used to address this kind of bullshit!" I yell, "This happened under your watch!"He sighs in defeat, "I know and I promise there will never be a repeat of this."Scoffing, I grab my bag and glare at him. "It better not because I'll surely have your head for it!" I close the space between us, "That little girl is MY LIFE, I remember sharing that with you when I enrolled her here."He nods, "Yes, you did and I will ensure she's protected." Glancing at his watch, he continues, "I'll
Yana's PoVThe amount of shit Damon had pending on his desk is simply atrocious. This dude must've spent more time whoring than working! Yawning, I check the time on my phone and I'm shocked to see it's 7:35p.m. Dialing Zach's number, I wait for the line to connect. "Hey baby! Are you ready?" He asks in a chirpy tone."Yes, I'm beat and done for the night." I stifle a yawn as my eyes start feeling droopy.He chuckles. "Aite, I'm gonna head out. I'll be there in about fifteen minutes.Resting my head on the desk, I drift off to a soundless sleep. Sometime later, I'm awakened by a loud thud outside my office. My heartbeat accelerates instantly as I move towards the door. Entering the hallway, no one is in sight, so I advance towards the cubicles to look around.A window clanks rapidly against the sill , so I close it and breathe a sigh of relief. As I'm about to return to my office, someone grabs the back of my head and pushes my face to the glass. I scream out but shut up instantly whe
Zach's PoVThanks to Kyle's quick action, the Police released me fifteen minutes ago. Ramon came in and explained all the prior incidents we had, and they decided it was enough to press charges.Here I am, gazing at Yana's sleeping figure at Wycoff Medical. Her face is bruised, so are her arms and side when I checked. Laura stands beside me, giving my shoulder a gentle squeeze. "She's gonna be okay. It's a good thing you got there in time."I squeeze my eyes shut, trying to suppress the images coming to the fore. "I should have killed him Laura. He doesn't deserve a day in jail!"A knock interrupts our conversation and Laura opens the door to reveal two men dressed impeccably. They enter the room and a torn expression etches their faces at the sight of Yana.Laura approaches me nervously. "Please don't get angry." She pleads then glances at them briefly. "That's Damon's father Sam and the Board Chairman Travis."My breathing becomes labored instantly! "I hope you're satisfied with you
Yana's PoVThe last few days have been blissful, since Zach whisked me away for a mini vacation. We set sail on Saturday, Today is Tuesday and we won't return home until Sunday.We've gotten much closer and I genuinely appreciate his efforts, which is why it is reciprocated."Babe, breakfast is ready." Zach states as he peeks through the cabin door. The bed on the catamaran is so comfortable, he has a challenge getting me out everyday.I pull the covers over my head a d whine, "Just a few more minutes pleeeaaassseeee."The door closes and I celebrate my victory by squealing. Seconds later, Zach slaps my ass so hard, I yelp in pain! "Ooowww! Why did you do that?" I semi yell while rubbing the spot.He smirks, "Because I can." Zach jumps in the bed and pulls me on top of him. He replaces my hand with his, and he rubs and squeezes my butt cheek. I stifle a moan as he kneads my ass sensually , causing the nerve endings in my clit to jump in a frenzy. My breathe hitches, Zach realises this
Zach's PoVNerves are wracking my body right now as Yana gazes up at me. My dick is pulsating at her entrance, she bites her lips as I push it further inside. Yana tenses against me, I stop to allow her to get accustomed to my girth and length. I kiss her slowly, and as she relaxes, I push all the way in.Yana mewls and sinks her nails into my back, drawing blood, no doubt. "Shiiitttt! That hurts so bad!" She says shakily and tries to push me away.I ease myself up and close my eyes, savoring the moment I've been waiting for. It's finally here! "You good babe?" I ask lowly. She nods her head so I pull out a bit and then slide my dick into her warmth.Yana arches her back, "Oh shit, baby! That feels so good."She hoists her legs up and grab my butt cheeks, urging me to increase my tempo. Like an obedient child, I obey, stroking her wetness and repeatedly hitting the same spot. This feels like a taste of heaven right here on earth, and I wouldn't have it any other way.Her entire body
Yana's PoVOur trip was cut short after Laura's phone call. I felt like everything was ripped from underneath me when she told me Alex was found unresponsive.Even now, as I stand gazing down at his sleeping figure, tears are still flowing. Zach hugs me to him, trying to comfort me in every way. He's going to be alright, baby, trust and believe." He whispers soothingly.I glance at him, "Why is everything bad happening to him?" I ask in a distraught manner.The doctors say he complained of chest pain and dizziness after his chemo session. They did some scans and realised he had somehow developed an arrhythmia.Kyle is on his way with Laura, who has been distraught since everything happened. Imagine finding your son unresponsive and then being unable to help him in anyway!Zach kisses the side of my head, "Worry about nothing, pray about everything."I know he's right, but I'm human, after all."I just want him to be okay. To be able to go home..." I grasp Alex's hand gently in mine. "I
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
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
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
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
