MR. CEO, ON YOUR KNEES 55: Is She Working Here?
PAIGE —"Oh my God. Do you know who that is?" She asked, her mouth wide open in shock, leaving me confused and curious."Didn't I hear her referred her as Miss Zora?" I thought, confused."Is- - isn't she Zora?" I managed to ask the lady, stuttering."Absolutely. You even know her," the lady remarked excitedly, clearly stunned."Why are you berating her then as if she's an average class lady?""Excuse me, Lisa, what's going on here?" She asked the sales lady.At this point, she was already so close to us. I'm sure it's her because that's her voice.Damn, she looks so classic."I'm sorry, Ma. It seems this lady mistook you for someone else," the sales lady apologized, bowing in courtesy.I swallowed hard, trying to get the whole thing."I couldn't believe my sight. Is this a sort of daydreaming or what?" I questioned myself in my thoughts."Babe, what's happening? Do you know her?" Stormzy asked, looking all lost."Of course, I do. I know her very well," I said in a very low tone, movi

ZORA—I was smiling inside of me as I watched my men drag the living hell out of Paige and her boyfriend.I had purchased this clothing store not long ago. I purchased it yesterday after noticing it was up for sale from an online market store.It was put up for sale because the owner got into trouble.It was said that the owner and her husband are about to divorce, and as expected, they will have to share their properties. However, the husband isn't really financially buoyant, so they're going to share the lady's wealth because she acquired it during the marriage.To avoid this, the lady decided to sell off the clothing store and changed the names of some of her businesses to her mother's name.That was how I became a business owner in Southampton city. Not just a business, but a large, well-known business in Southampton City.So today I came to see how things are going and decided to get some outfits for myself. The sales rep, knowing that I'm the new owner, thought it's best she tak

ZORA—I stood up from the couch, heading out to the restroom to brush my teeth first and shower before going to the kitchen side.Nonetheless, as I was about to walk to the restroom, the sound of my phone, which sounded like an incoming mail, made me hold back to check what the email message was about.As I unlocked my phone, the first name that appeared on my screen made me smile. She was my colleague who participated in working on the first advertisement video, which Zayn had initially rejected.I decided to wait till I'm done bathing before reading what she sent so I could calm down and reply.About ten minutes later, I was done bathing, and I went back to my room.The first thing I did was go to my phone to read the email that my colleague sent.Anita: Wow, I'm so happy that you finally managed to convince that monster. Congratulations, we did it.I was startled. What is she celebrating? Who is she referring to as a monster?I took a sigh and proceeded to reply. "What news is that

"Listen to me, Zora. I'm your friend, and I won't dare to deceive you. I have your best interest in mind. You can't just close your mind to things that make life lovely." She paused for some seconds, examining my facial expression."Zora, you have to create time for yourself. You need to go out more often. Go for a lunch date, go to the cinemas, and have crazy memorable experiences. You know what that means?" She asked, winking her eyes, making me chuckle with shyness."Go girl. Take advantage of the fact that you have someone like Jason with you and have crazy fun with him," she declared, finally hitting the hammer on the nail and not beating around the bush.I giggled for the second time, and then exhaled a deep sigh. I was frantically not comfortable with the task Daisy was assigning me."I really wish I could, Daisy, but you know I'm a very busy type. Even Jason himself would not have time for such...""Says who?" She cut me off before I could finish. "You have no time and are alw

ZORA—When I arrived at Zech Holdings Ltd., everyone who participated in the recently approved project was already there, and their faces were beaming with beautiful smiles."Congrats, Zora, on our new win. You literally saved us from that monster." One of the upper echelons who didn't even contribute to the project remarked, and this made me realize that they were also affected by Zayn's rejection.I was wowed, but I managed to mask my emotions. "You all made it possible. If you hadn't deemed it fit, he wouldn't have approved it even though he initially rejected it," I responded, using that moment to thank him and his colleagues for speaking on my behalf on that day."Much thanks to you because I'm certain it's your words that contributed most to the project approval," I went on appreciating him.He couldn't help but keep smiling. "Thankfully, he finally accepted it," he added."Yeah. I'm grateful. How about him? Is he present yet?" I asked him, referring to Zayn."Not at all. Accordi

ZORA—Today marks two weeks since I returned to Northville City, and I have been spending time with my family, especially my daughter.The day after my return from Southampton City, Jason received a business call that required him to travel out of the city. He stayed there for a week and some days before finally returning. However, he went straight to his house, with his reason being that I am already back.However, I know the main reason for his abrupt move to his house without stopping at my place, where he left for the trip, has nothing to do with my presence. It was because of how I treated him. I had taken him as just a buddy instead of a lover, which is why I hadn't engaged in an intimate activity with him.Checking the time on my wrist, I was surprised to see it wasalmost twelve o'clock p.m. I took a deep sigh, picked up my phone from the table, and texted Jason that I would be going to Southampton City to pick up a file that I forgot at Zech Holdings.I couldn't call him beca

ZAYN —As the elevator halted, I walked out before Zora and headed to my destination.Damn, I must admit that this was the greatest taste of self-control I have ever had in my life. I didn't even know I could make it, staying in that elevator with Zora without stirring up romantic discussion.Seeing Zora again after so many weeks didn't ease the crazy desire I have for her. I never thought I could see her again after hearing from my manager at Zech Holdings that she had left Southampton after completing her project.She was still perfect, glowing as always.Only God knows how I felt being with Zora inside the elevator. Honestly, I never thought I could do it because every part of my body yearns for her kiss.I wanted to grab her and kiss the hell out of her, but each time I remembered the deal we made, I would retract my action.Her gaze wasn't concentrated on me. I bet no way she wouldn't realize that I wanted her kiss—I wanted to throw her to the wall and kiss her so bad.She wasn't

ZAYN—I was sweating, going through my contact list searching for who to call.It has been over five hours since Grandma was admitted to this hospital, and I haven't heard any positive, consoling news about her.Whenever I bumped into the doctor and asked him about my grandma's development, he would only reply with, "We're doing our best.""How am I going to forgive myself that my decision was what led to the sudden demise of my grandma?" I questioned myself, realizing that if I hadn't divorced Zora, all these catastrophic situations wouldn't have befallen me.I was about to dial Zora's contact when the doctor walked out of the ward Grandma was admitted to."Has she finally died?" I asked him, my mouth dried with drool."Calm down, Mr. Zayn. Your grandmother is okay, and you can go and see her.""Yes!" I screamed and hurried inside the ward. "Mama, you're awake," I said, touching her cheeks, making sure she's fully okay."Yeah. I'm okay. I forgot to take my medication before leaving t

ZORA—I exhaled a breath of relief, helping him to get to his feet. "The fact that you admitted without arguing and promised to keep improving yourself means a lot to me—it shows that you're ready to do that," I said, and he let out a wry smile."Thank you for understanding me. Just with time, I promise you'd forget completely about that fool who goes about snatching people's wives and kids by the...""Excuse me?" I was shocked to my bone marrow. Why does she always refer to Jason as the bad guy who ruins people's relationships, forgetting that he was the one who ditched me away?"Is there a problem? Isn't he what I called him? Why would he have the nerve to claim not only my wife but also my daughter? Who does that?" Zayn wasn't ready to take back his words.I couldn't help but laugh at his statement. The boldness Zayn had to still take me as his wife needs to be studied when he already has another woman with him."Well, you can say all that you care, but stop referring to Jason as a

ZORA —"What happened? She looks so sad. Is she facing a problem?" I heard Zayn's voice question from behind, and my heart sank.I hope he hadn't been eavesdropping on our conversation.I tilted my head and saw him leaning on the wall, staring at us with his hands folded across his chest. From his facial expression, I could tell he had been there for a while listening to us."Um," I tucked my hair behind my ear as I was at a loss for words."Yeah, she's okay, Zayn. Nothing was wrong," I said, using the corner of my eyes to send a warning glance at Daisy so she wouldn't interfere."But I overheard you scolding her; tell me, what is the matter?" He pressed on, looking concerned."I'll tell you later." With this, I grabbed Zora and walked past him, brushing past his body as he refused to move out of the way for us.About two hours later, Daisy had already eaten, and she was with her great-grandma in the downstairs sitting room while I isolated myself in the room, regulating my thoughts.
MR. CEO, ON YOUR KNEES 92: Daddy—Jason Is Better, I Miss Him
ZORA —I woke up the next morning and went straight to the window to clear my mind.I felt like I started the day on a bad note as I didn't even bother with my morning routine or check on Zayn, who I had slept next to on the same bed.At the window, I grimaced as I thought about Jason. "He must be regretting ever helping me," I sighed, turning to glance at Zayn to make sure he didn't hear me grumbling."I've created a monster that some innocent woman will have to deal with," I lamented, knowing that I've shattered his trust in women. He might now view all women in the same light because of my foolishness.I remembered how it all began. "I should have listened to him when he warned me about the project Zech Holdings Ltd. called me for."I sighed helplessly, guilt weighing heavily on my mind. If I hadn't come to this city in the first place, Zayn wouldn't have had the chance to start clinging to me and pressuring me for a second chance, which I'm slowly starting to consider.I swallowed
MR. CEO, ON YOUR KNEES 91: I Lied To Her
ZAYN —We were all gathered at the dining table during the celebration, but I could see a discomfort on Zora's face. She was clearly scared because of Paige's presence. Not really because she might harm her or anything related to that but because she doesn't want to get into a heated talk with her.I was seething with rage because I never expected Paige to be here and ruin my happiness. The fact that my grandmother had invited her infuriated me even more. Why would she do that?"Zayn, I know you're upset that your grandmother invited Paige, but don't be mad at her. She must have had her reasons," Zora whispered to me.She was worried that things might escalate if tempers flared up."What reason could possibly justify ruining my happiness?" I grumbled, clenching my fists and shooting Paige a look of irritation."I know she was wrong, but please try to control your temper. Don't do anything foolish. If not for anyone else, do it for our daughter. She's too young to witness her daddy get
MR. CEO, ON YOUR KNEES 90: It Was A Blast
ZORA—The dinner party turned out to be quite different from what I had anticipated.The house was bustling with Felicia's friends, relatives, some of Zayn's staff members, and other unfamiliar faces. It had been five years since I had last seen many of them, so I struggled to recall everyone. Over the years, new friendships must have formed within the family circle.The sitting room was lavishly decorated, and the spread of food looked inviting. Felicia had gone all out, even bringing in musicians to add to the festive atmosphere. It was evident that she had put a lot of effort into planning the event. I was surprised that so many of the invitees had managed to attend on such short notice.The room was abuzz with conversations and laughter, and some people who recognized me came over to catch up."Zora, it's been almost six years since we last saw you! Are you back for good? We've missed you around here," Catherine, one of Felicia's friends, exclaimed, drawing attention to me. I hesi
MR. CEO, ON YOUR KNEES 89: Are You In Southampton City?
ZORA—"Hello Zora, are you in Southampton?" Daisy asked me as soon as I answered her call, making me gasp in shock.Gosh. How did she find out?I sighed, running my hand through my hair as I thought of what to say. For her to phrase the question this way means that someone had told her, so there's no need lying to her."Um... Yes. How did you know?" I responded, stammering.I never thought of telling Daisy about this because I knew she would be mad at me, but it seems that the truth has been revealed."Why would you do that? Zora, it seems like you don't love yourself and your little child, huh?" said Daisy from her end, bringing me back from my reverie of thoughts."Uhm, Daisy, calm down. Everything I'm doing, I do for a purpose.""Purpose?" She countered, letting out a deadpan laugh."What purpose is there in going back to someone who doesn't have your best interest at heart? I can see you've been ensnared by a spell because you can't be doing this with clear eyes," she scolded, her

ZORA—"Grandma is right, Zora. The greatest gift is having you and Daisy back in our lives, and that's what she's talking about," Zayn chimed in, making me sigh in frustration.Why are they making the situation more complicated?Somehow, that statement made me emotional even though I wasn't comfortable with it."Let's go in, please. I'm sorry that I kept you guys outside for so long," Felicia remarked. She held Daisy's hand, leading us inside.Zayn's grandmother and Daisy were deep in conversation as we walked inside, as if they had known each other for a long time, while I swallowed a lump of satisfaction as I watched them."This place is still the way it was," I commented, trying to start a conversation between me and Zayn."Yeah. I know you would be amazed. My grandma likes keeping things the same but never fails to maintain them," said Zayn, joining me in admiring the environment."My sister would be happy to see you. I'm glad she visited," Felicia remarked, turning her gaze towar

ZORA —"Grandma, guess who was with me in the car," Zayn exclaimed joyfully as he got out of the car and walked up to the old lady to embrace her."Who else but your good-for-nothing wife, Paige? She finally came to visit. Hope I'm safe for her visit today," the old lady remarked solemnly."Hell no, Grandma. You know I told you I'd surprise you one day, and that day has finally arrived," he said with a smile, turning to the car where we were waiting. He had instructed us not to get out until he gave the signal and even ordered his security man not to let us disobey his order.I could see him signal his chauffeur, who quickly opened the back door for us to exit.Daisy was the first to step out and went to her dad."Zayn, is she..." She stammered, her words barely audible."You never told me she's the girl you had out of wedlock," Mrs. Felicia commented, disappointment evident in her blue eyes.Zayn chuckled, trying not to laugh too hard to avoid embarrassing the old woman."Daddy, is s

ZORA—"Hurry up. Pack your bag and Daisy's too; we're leaving for Southampton City for the Christmas holiday," he said to me, catching me off guard.My heart sank upon hearing that. "Southampton City? Christmas holiday?" I asked, my forehead creased."Come on, Zayn. I already told you I have an appointment with my boyfriend, so why are you trying to create issues?" I was annoyed, wishing he hadn't shown up."Really? So if I hadn't told you, you wouldn't have known how much you hurt him? You would have the nerve to visit him after what happened here recently?" He questioned me, his words cutting through me like ice, making me realize the mess I had gotten myself into."I really don't like how you treated him, Zayn. He doesn't deserve this.""I know, but I have to stand up for my rights, Zora. You're my wife, and I'm not going to share you with anyone," Zayn replied, his tone serious."Wife?" I rebuked him, my forehead creased as I stared at him disdainfully, not caring that Daisy was p
