Zendaya’s POVI got tired of getting harassed by Delia’s father so I did what I had told myself that I wouldn’t do until the time was right.I exposed everything I knew about him to the press.The news I got of him was so much I had no idea if he would bounce back from it but I didn’t care. He had crossed the line when he had insulted my family and I would do worse than what he had done to me.That was the reason I had asked for his information to be leaked to me so I could go through them and keep them until the time was right.I had it leaked to the press after getting back home and the press picked up the news immediately.That night, they had it printed and the media carried it throughout the social media platforms.How he owed billions in taxes and how he could go to jail for tax evasion.The news about his company went far and wide and I laid in bed while watching people comment all they knew about the company under the comment section.I knew the man would try to sell many of h
Asher’s POVShe called to me as I halted in my steps, feeling irritated already. I wanted to get out of here. I had done what I wanted to do, why was I still standing here. I could easily leave but my body wanted to stay and see what she would do.I turned around like a rigid mannequin to see her standing to her feet.Before that incident of me finding out about the real source of the leak, I would have been turned on by what she was wearing, but now I was just disgusted by her.She walked to me and tried to touch me, however I was not having it.“No,” I said, holding her hand away from me. “I’m sorry,” she said but that was still not enough. “I’ll do anything to tell you that I’m sorry. Anything.”“Anything?” I asked with raised brows. “That is a very vague thing to say.”“Try me Asher,” she was really convinced of her stance and I was prepared to test it out.“Prove it.” I said. “Prove it and show me how sorry you are.”“What do you want me to do?” she asked but I couldn’t even be
Delia’s POVI was taking my time shopping in this country that Asher forced me to go to. How could he do this to me?I knew he wanted me out of his hair so he would have the house for himself and that bitch of a woman called Zendaya.I would deal with her in my own way.“Ma’am,” a shop attendant called to me as I looked at her from her head to her toe. Who was she to talk to me? She had no idea I was the First Lady? Who did she think she was?“Don’t know if you know who I am but I would refrain from saying anything more than is necessary before you sleep in prison tonight,” I broke to her before picking up a cloth from a shelf.Whatever she wanted to tell me was not important seeing as I could handle my problems myself without any issue.“Ma’am,” the attendant called again before raising her hands to her face. “I’m sorry ma’am but that dress is not for sale.”I looked at the dress that was in my pile.“Do you know who I am?” Now I was getting visibly mad at her. Who did she think she
Zendaya’s POV After talking with Aurora, I leaned back in my bed smiling at how beautiful everything was going between the two of us.We were at each other's wits but I still saw her as my sister because that was what she was to me.I didn’t like fighting with her, however if it came down to it I would fight against her again. But this was about peace and not war.I wanted people to be close to and not far away from. I suddenly remembered that man and how I had destroyed his secret life by letting the entire world know that he was just a good for nothing man who loved to hide his taxes away from the government.I wondered if they had taken him away or if he was still trying to run away from the government.My phone buzzed as I looked at it to see a report that the lands and properties had been purchased from Delia’s father. I was elated by this news.My day was getting better and better by the minute. If only Asher would top it by forgiving me.I was very sure that the house Delia w
Asher’s POVI stayed in my study scrolling through my phone while looking at our pictures. I missed when everything used to be so real, now it wasn’t. It was all lies and I hate having to be lied to like that.I took a drink from the bottle before looking at the picture again, this time mad at myself for even thinking of falling in love again.I was so stupid. I should have kept to myself, now I was the one being used and being tossed aside like trash.Someone knocked on the door as I frowned immediately at whoever it was. The person should go away.I was not going to talk. Maybe the person would knock, get the hint and leave.“Asher, it’s me,” Zendaya said, getting me to groan in my seat. “Can I talk to you?”“Leave!” I yelled so she would hear it behind the door. I didn’t want her coming in and seeing me like this. I was a mess. “I am not going anywhere until I’ve spoken to you,” she said stubbornly as I chuckled with a sad smile. Who did she think she was? I was the fucking presid
Zendaya’s POV“What do you want?” he asked as I smiled while sitting on the table.“Having dinner would be nice,” was my reply.“Fine,” he rolled his eyes while wearing his underwear. “I’ll have dinner but I can’t be with you in public. You’ve already caused me enough trauma. I need time away from you.”This was fair enough seeing as I had not seen him have dinner in a while. I didn’t even know if he was even eating. The drink on the floor said a lot about his habits.“I feel like I’ve been played over and over again by you,” he said and that hurt me. I really loved him, how could he say that?“That’s not true,” I said. “I haven’t played you. If you will give me another chance I will prove to you that I am not such a bad person. I promise to be different.”He looked at me with skepticism. He didn’t trust that I had good intentions.“I don’t believe you,” he said. “I’ll believe you when I see a certain change in you.”“You should trust me,” I said. “I am not like that anymore.”He shru
Asher’s POVI didn’t expect that she would be here in the kitchen doing anything by this time. Normally, she was out of the house before it hit a certain time. It was like clockwork. She didn’t even wait for a minute before she would be out of the house, however now she was around I found this to be strange. It was unlike her. Even more was the fact that the workers gathered everywhere and worked with her. I had called for them in the main house but they had not been available to me. They had been missing. This had me worried before I got out of bed to see the entire place empty. I could hear the buzz from the kitchen so I followed it and here I was to see them all huddled in here.Zendaya was at the edge of the kitchen throwing orders which was so like her. I smiled at this before catching myself and walking in to lock eyes with her.“Asher,” she smiled at me. “Good morning.”I was more confused at what was going on and I looked around to understand what they were doing. Were they
Zendaya’s POVAfter dinner, I led him to his room while he seemed to want to talk to me. He would turn to me from time to time but wouldn’t do anything. “Do you want to talk about it?” I asked but he shook his head.“I’m just glad you made me something,” he smiled. “I didn’t know you could bake or even cook. I have heard stories but…”Who could blame him? I had hidden that part of myself away from him and everyone around me. I didn’t want anyone to know I could do anything but look pretty.I was happy he liked the thing I had done for him. If it was his birthday I would do something better. But it wasn’t his birthday. It was just a random day. “You’re already late for work,” I said to him as he shrugged. “I know you warned me so don’t gloat yet,” he chuckled. “I brought this upon myself. I do want to spend more time with you.”Those were words I did not know I would hear again. I had so many plans for the day with him but he needed to go to work and I needed to stay home with the c
Asher’s POVAfter listening to what they had said. I smacked my forehead as I laughed out loud at what they were hiding. I couldn’t believe they had put me and their mother through this. I had almost lost my mind.I immediately went back home, to change into my suit.While dressing up, I laughed again at what the children had told me at the hospital. They were very smart and cunning. Zendaya was going to have a kick out of this. I couldn’t wait to let her in on what had made her suspicious.When I was done. I headed for her wardrobe to go through the clothes that were packed there.I took out an evening gown which she had not worn for anything yet. This would be better for the outing.A knock on the door and I opened it to see the butler smiling at me with a tray in his hand.“I got it sir,” he said, bringing the tray to my eye level so I could see a diamond bracelet on it.“Thank you so much,” I said to the man. He had been my butler from day one and I carried him everywhere and on e
Asher’s POVIt has been more than a year since I last won the election and my children had celebrated their seventh birthday. It was a great time for everyone and I wanted to have a different experience with them.Our days at home had been the same thing. From home to school for the children and for me and Zendaya, it was mostly from home to work and back again.We needed some time to relax and enjoy ourselves. That was when I planned a vacation for all of us. We would go to a beach resort and spend a few days there.Zendaya approved of the news but complained to me that the children were behaving suspiciously. I didn’t see any problem with this but after continuous complaints I decided to go into their room to see what was going on.I entered their rooms to see them acting innocently and wondered if she was okay for accusing the children falsely.“Are you calling me a liar?!” she yelled that night but I shook my head.“No, I wouldn’t dream of it, but I do think you should review you
Asher’s POVSix months later I was called to a parent teacher conference as we listened to all the teachers had to say about the children. I was happy to have dropped the children in this place. Their teaching standards were high and they taught the children things they were to know in real world scenarios.We had gone with the children and after the meeting, we got out to see the triplets bragging to other children about how they were the children of the president.I frowned at this and was ready to teach them a lesson in the car, however, Zendaya had other plans.She grabbed the children to a corner and tossed them to the wall in anger.I followed her quietly with my hands in my pockets. I didn’t want to drag any attention to ourselves.“What is wrong with you three?” she growled as they kept their eyes on the ground knowing they had fucked up. “Are you all out of your mind? Bragging to children about your parents achievements is not your achievement.“You were lucky to be born in
Zendaya’s POVWho knew that in three months a lot of things could happen? I had been living a life of regrets for a long time. When I finally let go of those regrets I was happier and I found that my life was better than the past.I was richer and smarter. I was respected and had more people asking for my help. I was seen as the one who would change the future and I did my best to change that future. I refused to hold back in the way of giving out meetings and holding councils on how to help the country grow into something greater. My relationship with my husband grew stronger than before and I could not believe that at some point in my life I was considering murdering him. He was sweet to me. Even as a president, he gave me so much and respect that I knew what love really was.He didn’t give excuses for why he was not with me or the children. He did his possible best to be with us and for months we knew what having a father and a husband was like.During the three months, Blair ha
Camila montclairs POVI had sold the company to a new CEO. A faceless person that I had no idea was. I had not even known if the person would be kind or wicked but from what I heard, he could be ruthless at times.I had sold the company but my shares remained. Due to this I was still a worker in the company. Even though I was a high ranking worker in the company I still feared what the person would do to me.I did not want to put out a front that I was scared so when Aurora had sent the message that the CEO wanted to see us, I had gulped but remained calm in my own way.Being in the company boardroom I was shaking nervously as I didn’t know what to expect. I started to hope that the new CEO would be kind to me and my family who were still working in the company.“Who is the owner?” I asked Aurora who shrugged. Even she did not know.I took in deep breaths to calm my raging heart. The door opened with the new CEO getting in as we all turned to see Zendaya walking in with her assistant
Asher’s POVI looked at what I had written for the press but then dropped the piece of paper aside. There was no need to use it. With a sigh I leaned in for the microphone.“I’d like to thank my wife for being my backbone in all of this,” I said while looking at the woman who beamed proudly at me. “She alone handled most of our strategy. And I’d like to thank my team who made all of this come true. “Because without them, I would have fumbled. My wife might have been one of the brains but she did not carry out the operations, my team did. “I’d also like to thank the politicians and the rally organizers and the media for propagating my story and for the citizens who helped me get up to this point, I promise to never let you down.”The media cheered just as a man ran up the stage to whisper into my ears that the inauguration was starting up immediately in the government halls.I nodded before running into the room to change into a more comfortable outfit with Zendaya.“I thought you w
Zendaya’s POVWe went on a peaceful walk and talk the next morning and talked about how the next election was going to be. I could feel this election and I knew the competition was going to be stiff this year.The air of winning was just as stale as that of losing.Everyone voted for Asher the last time because he had so many supporters and he was a young blood in politics, but this time, there were so many young bloods following in his example as they wanted to beat him at his own game.It was hilarious but I found it motivational that he was becoming the one pacing way for so many people to shrug shoulders with him.The problem I had been having in his team was his campaign manager who thought he knew better than me. I didn’t want to school him but he was not willing to listen to anyone.He had made Asher win the last election because Asher didn’t have any competition. Now Asher has competition, all his plans had done was reduce Asher’s chances at beating the opponents. I stepped
Asher’s POVAfter a few weeks of having one of the best honeymoon of our lives, we returned and reunited with the triplets who were already waiting at home for us and they were happy to see us.They had so much fun in their grandparents house that I could not do anything but smile at how happy they were.I excused myself from time to time to deal with my campaign team who were calling to notify me on the plans we would put in place for the election.Ever since Zendaya brought up those plans to help me win the election, I had seen her as an important part of my life. She wanted me to win and she didn’t want anything to happen to my plans. I was extremely excited for how everything would turn out to be. I had given the plans to my team and they had been wowed by the plans. They had seen it working already and when we ran a simulation we found out that it was higher than other opponents trials by far.“So we’re going with it,” I had said to them during the video call as they accepted.N
Zendaya’s POV“No, no,” he said to me. “This isn’t a cry for help. I can do this. I’m just not ready for anything pushing me further than I can carry.”“This is still all my fault. If I had not done what I did, you would have been free. But instead, I got to you with all that evidence and now they are using it against you.”“They would have found it sooner or later anyway, don’t bother yourself about it.”But I knew that was him trying to make me feel better. Instead I was feeling worse.I was determined to make it up to him. I would come to him with my evidence against his opponents and they would have no choice but to back down. I knew how to do it.They had nothing on me and my connections. I was ready to destroy them if it ever came to it.This was my fault. His popularity was reducing due to the evidence I had brought up against him. He could lie all he wanted but I knew what I had sought out and compiled against him.At the time I had wanted to get rid of him. I had told my conn
