Asher’s POVAfter the movie, I received a gift from Zendaya that I had never expected from her. She was the only one who remembered that I loved having pieces like this and she was the only one who knew about my hobbies.“You remembered,” I smiled, almost bursting out in tears.“I’ve always known you like your star wars collection and your figurines,” she smiled. “You might be the president, but deep down, you’re just another Star Wars fan and a fan of fast cars.”She had gotten me a big box of the Star Wars collection. The latest version of it. And the cars in the second boxes were the ones with the convertible tires. It was amazing to look at and I couldn’t help but hug her with a kiss.To those around me, they would think me crazy for loving such a worthless thing. But to me, they were the best gifts ever. Not the million dollar parties, or the best celebrity gifts could come close to what she had given to me.“I also got you…” she smiled, getting a book of one of my old mentors fo
Zendaya’s POVWhen I was done saying everything I had in my heart, he didn’t say anything but stayed there standing still. I felt sad thinking about the ship that had sailed and now I was back to being broken.The difference between now and my past when I was angry wasn’t far-fetched. The fact that I had betrayed him and caused him so much pain was what hurt him.I decided to try my apology again. This time I prayed silently that he would accept it.“Baby, I’m so sorry. I didn’t…” he leaned into me, crushing my face with his as his lips clashed with mine. I felt his breath bounce against my face in a romantic way. This came as a shock to me. I had not seen this coming. What was this love I was feeling? I wanted more from him. I wanted everything he could offer. I had not expected him to act this way after moving away from me earlier. Was this what love felt like? Had he forgiven me? No. There was no way he would forgive me like this. The last time we had sex and he still hated me fo
Delia’s POVEverything was horrible. I couldn’t see it getting any better. How had I gotten to this point in my life? How was it that I was now a nobody? Now I was staying in Iris’s family house which was smaller than my walk-in closet in Asher’s home. “This is extremely small,” complained to Iris, but what could she do about it but wail with me.“You have to do whatever it takes to get back in your house or that bitch Zendaya would take over and you would be left with nothing. I do hope you understand what I’m saying,” she said to me and I did. I would do anything to get back in my house. Anything to make sure I was back home. This was not my home. I was uncomfortable here.Somehow, due to the issue my father had with Asher and surprisingly Zendaya, I was banned from going to the presidential house. Now I didn’t know if this was true but that was the news I had been told by one of the guards in the building.I had crashed with Iris, however, in the first few hours of me staying th
Zendaya’s POVI was shocked to see her waltz into the mansion like she owned the place and talk to me like I was a newbie here. She was forgetting that I was here from the beginning. I was here as the first First Lady. It was the disrespect she gave out that almost had me strangling her but I kept my cool since Asher was intervening. I did not want to undermine his strength and authority. I would give him that respect.However, if she kept on running her mouth, I doubted that I would be able to control myself any further than I actually could.“You bitch!” she yelled as I started to swear within me that if she called me that one more time, I would hit her. But she didn’t stop there. She stopped attacking me and had to go for my children. She was just like her father.Now I could see that the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree. She referenced my children to things I didn’t like.“If you keep doing this, I’m going to lose my temper,” I warned her but she refused to listen. “Don’
Asher’s POVThe next morning, I read through my phone to find exciting news. It was so good I could not hide it within myself so I jumped up and started for the living room where I knew she would be that early to share with her.I got there and as I had thought, she was there sipping a cup of hot tea.“Hey babe, I found something,” I smiled.“What is it?” she asked inquisitively.“Apparently you and I are all over the news as well as speculations concerning the state of my marriage.”She was worried after I had said this.“So is that a good thing or a bad thing? I don’t think it’s news enough for you to be excited about.”“Oh don’t you worry. I knew this would happen,” I said, trying to keep her kind at rest. I already knew someone would figure out the pieces and put it together. It was only going to take time anyway.She did not look pleased.“You know, I could call up my legal team and…” “Hey,” I smiled, going to hug her as I took the mug from her hand to place on the table. “How a
Delia’s POVHe still didn’t believe me but I was not going to waste my time with a drunk. I had big dreams and I was going to accomplish it. He could stay here and feel sorry for himself for as long as I cared but I was going to do something that would actually change our lives.I left his house and started for my ex's house. My ex boyfriend, a fuck boy who doesn’t care about anyone but himself. It wasn’t hard to locate his place since he hadn’t parked out of his old neighborhood.I barged into his apartment to see him in bed with two women.“What the fuck dude?!” I yelled as they all woke up and stared at me with their eyes half closed.Looking to the floor, I saw they had been doing drugs.“I thought you said you stopped doing all of these,” I sighed, kicking the empty packets around.The women got to their feet, wore their clothes and ran out of the house.“Why are you here Delia?” he asked, laying back in bed. I could tell he was naked under the sheets. “Are you here to gloat ove
Zendaya’s POVMy phone rang as I picked it up to see it was one of my connections whom I would usually call to get information from.I wondered why he would call me when I was the one who usually did the calling but I was here for it so I picked.“Hello,” I said. “This is odd.”“It is and so is someone asking around for you trying to know things about you.”This was a surprise. I laughed over the phone as this was the first time this was happening to me. I was usually the one who went around asking for people’s identities and not the other way around.Who would dare to do that to me? It would have to be someone I knew or I had told about my life.No random person would want to search me out. “They are seriously digging for information on you,” he said again. I had a speculation that this was either going to be Delia or her father. It had to be one or two of them at the same time.“I’ll call you back,” I said to the man before switching off the call.I started to think of something I
Delia’s POVFor weeks I had waited for the good news to arrive but I had waited in vain seeing as there was nothing coming up. I wasn’t being told anything and this had me grunting in anger. How could he treat me like this? Where was the love he had promised me?He had left me for Zendaya. He was a weakling who didn’t know what he wanted. I was what he was supposed to want and like, not her. He was stupid to think I would let them go like that. No, I would not let that slide. I would destroy everything they were trying to build. It was not worth it. They were not worth it. Those children, that future home where I would not be involved, I would destroy it all. He could not get rid of me that easily. He had no idea who I was and what I was capable of.I was his wife, the rightful First Lady. Whoever he was trying to replace me with was a counterfeit and I would show him what happened to counterfeits when they met the original.I hated Zendaya for getting into my home and trying to take
