ZORA—

"Not a problem at all," the lady commented and stood up to fetch her kids.

She came back a few minutes later holding the kids in both hands.

"Good evening, Miss Paulson. Did you come with Daisy?" Liam asked excitedly as he saw me, scanning the environment in search of his friend.

I bit my lips, swallowing hard. I couldn't answer the question.

"Kids, Daisy's mom is here alongside her friends. They came so you could help them in search of your friend, Daisy," their father uttered, sitting them down.

"Mommy, is she missing? What about her daddy?" Sophia, the female one, asked inquisitively.

"Did you in any way see Daisy today after the dismissal time in your school?" their mother asked them tenderly, holding their shoulders.

"Yes, Mommy," they chorused in unison.

"We sat at the usual place we do, waiting for you when her father came and picked her up. He said he's taking her to the ice cream store."

"Yes, Mommy. He could have taken us along too, but he was worried about you not fin

    ZORA—My throat went dry at her question. It was clearly his voice.I was still battling with my thoughts, debating if it was truly Zayn speaking when he continued, "I bet you're surprised. Aren't you?" He let out a gruff laugh.I was so shocked that I couldn't utter a word."Have you come to realize that you can't keep anything a secret from me? It has dawned on you that I know everything," he laughed once more.What are you talking about, Zayn?" I asked, unable to put everything in order. I was taken by surprise. Never in my entire life would I think Zayn would find out without me telling him.Who snitched on me? Wasn't he thinking Daisy belonged to Jason?"So foolish of you to think you could hide her forever from me without me finding out one day," he said, letting out a deep sigh."For five whopping years, you kept my daughter hidden from me, Zora. Is that how wicked you are? You made me not know I have an heiress somewhere dwelling in your web of lies. It's my turn now—it's my t

    ZORA—I watched as the interaction between Daisy and her father was blending, and I couldn't help but keep smiling sheepishly. This was what I had been depriving the two of them of.Zayn didn't even bother talking to me throughout that dinner. The only time he talked to me was when Daisy mentioned something that related to me.Well, I'm not blaming him because I would do the same if it were me. I can't even imagine someone hiding my daughter away from me for five whopping years, so Zayn is right in every one of his reactions.The was going well between the daughter and father, and I was okay with it until Zayn stood up and went to the window, gazing at the city."I hope you're prepared to spend the night here with us because you're not going home with her tonight. The days aren't friendly to be driving home with her by this time," Zayn commented.He was right. It was already the time when a lot of evil happens in Southampton city.The youths of this place rarely work for money but rel

    For how long are we going to stay silent, indulging ourselves with drink?" I managed to ask.A smirk formed across his lips, and he gently dropped the glass cup, resting his back on the seat backrest. "For hiding my daughter from me for five years, you need to pay me something more than that," he declared.I bit my lips, and my gaze went downcast for a few seconds before returning to face him. I needed to be strong if I must escape this man, so I summoned courage. "Zayn, I don't even know how you came to your conclusion about my daughter being yours. She's not your daughter, please. Her real father must be really worried by now about us."Hearing this, Zayn let out a slight taunting laugh, making me scared. He took a sip of his wine and fixated his gaze on me, smiling.For him to be this bold, he might have obtained a lot of evidence that backed up his claims as Daisy's real father.A few seconds later, he sighed heavily and sat up. "Have you forgotten that I was with Daisy throughout

    ZORA —"Zayn, can we talk this out in the daytime? I'm already sleepy and need to rest," I said, interrupting his plans.I finished the wine in my glass and prepared to leave.Zayn stood up, looking frustrated, but I was more concerned about getting some sleep"Use the other bathroom if you want to shower. That one is Daisy's only," Zayn said as he saw me walking into the bathroom where I bathed Daisy. He was following me.I gulped, smiling slightly as I felt that wasn't necessary.He just said that so he could follow me to the restroom and continue his silly talk. This was my conclusion.I went to the restroom and showered. It had really been a stressful day.I was relieved when we walked halfway, and Zayn pointed at the door right by the corner, saying, "That's the restroom," and then he left.I entered and began bathing without scanning the restroom. It was after I was done that I reached for the shelf where I hung my dress to get it when two packages of nylon fell down. I picked th

    Already knowing what he was thinking, I didn't give it much thought, and my lips reached for his. We had a crazy, mad kiss. It was as if we had been starved of that for a lifetime.I didn't want anything more than to fall for the same mistake I made months ago in his mansion with him, even though I know it could cause terrible consequences in the future.**The next morning, I woke up before Zayn, and the first thing that came to my mind was the incident that happened last night. I felt ashamed remembering how I was forcing my way even though Zayn was retracting at some point, knowing that I might wake up the next day and feel bad about what happened.I stared at him for some seconds and ended up caressing his face. He was so cute while sleeping.The touch woke him up. "Good morning," he greeted softly, with a smile creeping on his lips.The smile indicated he recalled what happened during the night and was happy about it. It was a smile of satisfaction."Good morning. I can see you ha

    Daisy —I woke up from sleep to use the restroom. I had been purging throughout the night due to the unhealthy water I drank last night.After the long search for Zora's daughter, Daisy, we decided to stay at a hotel and spend the night there instead of risking our lives by driving home.I had taken anti-purge medicine, but it only helped to alleviate the purge. It hasn't been long since I took it.About five minutes later, I returned to the room after using the restroom. I looked a bit frustrated and angry."Babe, why did you choose to stay here among all the hotels in this city?" I asked Blake, my husband, while he was still sleeping, nudging him to wake up.He didn't consume anything from the hotel yesterday, which is why he was unaffected by the issue that affected me."I'm really sorry, babe. I thought you had already taken medicine the first time we woke up. Isn't it working?" He asked, sitting up in bed, his face filled with worry and pity.I frowned as I sat closer to him. "I'm

    ZORA —"Are you serious? Daisy was with that monster called Zayn yesterday?" Jason was terrified when he heard the news.I and my daughter returned here this morning, and Blake and his wife decided to pay us a visit, perhaps to know if we really come back in good health."I'm really shocked that Zayn would do that," Daisy, my friend, chipped in."Yes, dear. I didn't know how it happened, but he kidnapped her. I think he found out that Daisy is his daughter," I commented, feigning anger as he is."Fuck!" Jason cursed, kicking the air as he vented his anger. "That man is challenging me. After all these years, he's just realizing that Daisy is his daughter. What a disgrace!""But Jason, think about it. Zayn wouldn't stay forever without knowing that Daisy is his daughter. It would only be a matter of time before he finds out, and I think it has happened.""What nonsense!" Jason roared, obviously irritated by my response."Are you taking sides with that asshole? You want him to find out th

    ZORA — "God, Jason, this accusation is too much for me. Why are you acting so insecure? How could something happen between me and Zayn when Daisy was present?" I continued lying. I was determined not to give up even though there were glaring pieces of evidence. Daisy was already suspicious of me from the way she was giving me a suspicious stare, but she didn't make it obvious to Jason. "What's happening here, guys? I thought this should be a call for celebration, so what's all the fuss about?" Blake questioned as he emerged from my daughter's room. "What happened? Daisy was worried as the voices were getting louder. And why were you cursing my friend Zayn?" Blake added, walking over to where his wife was sitting and joining her. He was directing to Jason. I felt like burying myself in the ground, concluding that I was already caught since Daisy, my daughter, noticed the commotion from her room. I thought she was coming out with Blake. She might even tell Jason that Zayn is her re

    ZORA —"Zora, I don't like your sudden decision to go back to Zayn, but..." Daisy exhaled a sigh and continued, "Who am I to question your decision?" she added with a solemn expression.It happened that she was on furlough today, so I asked her to accompany me shopping. I wanted to buy some new dresses for the dinner tonight—I wanted to look unique and different to Zayn and not wear one of the outfits he's used to."No worries, Daisy, I'm being careful with him. After all, we haven't officially reunited because the divorce documents have to be disqualified," I replied, patting her shoulder with a chuckle."It's fine. I'm only looking out for your best interest," she shrugged off, sighing."Yes, dear. So tell me about the latest update. Are you going to proceed with the artificial insemination procedure we discussed?" I asked her, wanting to change the topic.She had told me earlier about the recent issues she had been having with her husband regarding their childlessness, which I sugg

    ZORA —"Can you please attend the meeting Lisa told you about? We need to have a brief meeting with the directors," I requested, my eyelids raised as I expected his response."Well, that's actually the main reason I called you. Unfortunately, I can't attend the meeting because it's a waste of time for me and the directors," he said.However, he wasn't harsh to me. I thought he would scold me and asked me not to set foot in his company, but he didn't. Instead, he was cold with his responses."How? By the time you arrive, everyone would be done with what they're doing," I blurted out, trying to convince him to show up, but he was not ready to relent from his decision."No, Zora. I've already made up my mind, and that's it. I hope you respect that.""Um, how about Daisy? Won't you like to see her? Are you also mad at her?" I asked immediately before he could end the call.There was a moment of silence from Jason's end. Deep down, he doesn't want to have anything to do with me anymore, bu

    ZORA—"Ah! Jason? He didn't tell you? He has stopped working here," said Lisa with a creased forehead, making me stare at her moronically because it hit me hard. Is she trying to pull my leg or what? If Jason doesn't work here anymore, where could he be working? I hope he's not considering suicidal thoughts."But he's the owner of this place? Did he officially announce his resignation, or did you conclude it after not seeing him for long?" I asked her, tucking my hair behind my ear as I concentrated on her reply. Inside of me, I was already praying hard for it not to be what I'm thinking."I'm not saying based on assumption, Zora; I'm stating a fact. I even heard that he has got a buyer, and they're negotiating the price.""Buyer?" I asked with my jaw dropped. What is really going on? Could it be that Zayn went ahead with his plan of purchasing Tech Savvy Strategies, and Jason accepted? I shrugged off the thoughts because Jason, as far as I know, is not desperate for money to do that

    ZORA—"Mommy, wake up; it's morning already," I heard my daughter's voice as she barged into my room, causing me to sigh exasperatedly because I hadn't wanted to wake up by this time.I rolled myself to face her and stared at her for a few seconds before sighing. "Honey, it's not yet school time, okay? By the way, your schoolteacher just called yesterday and informed me of the postponement of your school's resuming date.""Huh, why would they do that?" She said with a frown."Are you not happy that you have more days to enjoy?" I asked with a surprised look. I thought she'd like to spend more days at home playing video games."I hate it. I'm missing my friends, especially Sophia and Liam. I want to see them." She responded with a decisive tone, making me chuckle. I thought she was missing studies, but she was after her friends."No worries, you'll see them soon, okay?" I said, and she nodded in affirmation and turned to leave.I sighed and was about to continue sleeping when she stopp

  • MR. CEO, ON YOUR KNEES    105: Has She Found Out?

    DAISY —I had been worried since last night because of Blake's absence in the house. He had never acted this way before since we got married."Could it be that he got kidnapped on his way back, or did his car develop a technical issue, and he decided to park and spend the night at a hotel?" I asked myself, trying to figure out what might have gone wrong."At least he should have answered my calls if he's in a good state," I doubted, sighing in frustration, tears welling up in my eyes as I tried to stay strong."Gosh, God, don't let this befall me. I'm too young to be a widow. I don't even have a child," I cried, felt so emotional that the tears I had been controlling began streaming down my cheeks without my notice until a drop touched my lips.I quickly wiped my eyes and took my phone. I went online and searched for my husband to know the last time he was online.{Active five minutes ago}"Really? He was active a few minutes ago and didn't bother to call me back. Could it be that he

    Blake —I felt completely weakened and confused. "Are you trying to blackmail me, Danielle?" I asked, trying so hard not to make my fretting obvious to her.She swallowed the lump that formed in her throat, tucked the few strands of hair cascading down her cheeks behind her back, and turned to me with a mean expression."I'm not here to debate, Mr. Blake. I've already fulfilled my mission, so you should do what's necessary; otherwise, your wife will find out...""No, no, no. It's fine. Let's settle it here, please," I said with tension, reaching into my wallet and taking out a few bundles of dollars. "I hope you'll leave me alone now. You have to delete those videos in my presence so everything will be sorted out," I said, expecting her to comply."Alright," she said, unlocking her phone and deleting the videos as I requested."Good. I hope you can now stay away from me and never disclose what happened here to my wife. I hope the money is enough for you," I said, my voice a mix of ser

  • MR. CEO, ON YOUR KNEES    103: I Slept With Danielle

    Blake —My hand landed on something soft, and my subconscious guided them to form a gentle circle, as if cradling a delicate object. The sensation brought me a strange sense of satisfaction, and I pinched them.The softness made me wake up to see what it really was, and then I saw her—a lady lying close to me.“Ah…” I gasped in shock, taken aback as I noticed it was her breasts that I was touching all this while. Apparently, she was naked because she only covered her body with the duvet, but some parts of her cleavage were showing.I was startled upon realizing that I was in a hotel room with a naked lady.I slowly raised the duvet to observe myself, to confirm if my instincts were right, but unfortunately, it is what it is—I was naked as well."What is going on here? How did I get here?" I asked, shaking her and waking her up from sleep.I could only remember going to the bar to drink in order to forget my problems, especially the issue of childlessness in my marriage, but finding my

    ZAYN—"Babe, what about your friend Daisy? I haven't seen you talking to her or mentioning her lately. Are you still in touch with her?" He asked, running his fingers through my hair as I rested my head on his chest, feeling the softness of his beard.We both were lying on the bed, taking advantage of that prime time of the early hours of the morning. Unlike usual, we didn't have sex today because we had enough last night—in fact, almost throughout yesterday was sex that we accomplished."Of course I do. But you stole my attention throughout this period that I couldn't even think of calling her," she replied, sighing and giving me an unserious deadpan look.I chuckled and responded, "As it should be. I deserve all the attention.""While I don't deserve yours, right?" She asked with a tone of jealousy, leaving me curious. Hadn't I been giving her my attention since our reunion?"What is that supposed to mean? Had I not been here with you throughout this week, I didn't even visited my o

    DAISY —"So, doctor, what is the result?" Blake asked as soon as he barged into the doctor's office upon the doctor's summons.However, when he saw the solemn look on my face, his body weakened instantly."Um, calm down, Mr. Blake. Please have a seat," the doctor remarked, bringing out the test results. Before she could even stretch out her hand to give them to Blake, he snatched them from her and began scanning through them."Fuck!" He exclaimed, kicking the air with his hand as he saw what was written there.He exhaled a deep sigh of frustration before swallowing the lump that formed in his throat."Calm down, Mr. Blake. None of you are to be blamed for this unfortunate situation, but..."Blake did not even wait for the doctor to finish speaking, and he rose to his feet, flinging the test result to me and heading out of the office with his gaze upcast. He wasn't happy at all.At that moment, with the expression on his face, if a fly mistakenly perched on his face, it was surely goin
