Delia’s POVWhen the divorce papers were given to me I screeched at the sight of it. This was true. It was real. I was holding it in my hands and now there was nothing I could do.I watched the lawyers get into their car to get out more files as they waited for me to screech again, getting my father to threaten me from his study. If only he knew what was making me scream, he would not talk to me like that again.“Dad!” I yelled, taking the papers into his study to plop into a seat and drop the papers on his desk.One of the lawyers who had presented it to me entered and stood by the door.“Who are you?” My father asked the lawyer.“The one who brought the papers,” the man answered but my father rolled his eyes and looked back at the papers.He looked at it and pointed. “What’s that?”“The divorce papers,” I said as he sighed, taking a glass of whisky to down. “I can’t believe he would go through with this.”“You seriously can’t believe anything huh,” he chuckled. “He threatened that h
Zendaya’s POVI waited for Asher to return home and when he did, I was shocked at how he looked. He was extremely exhausted and downcast.I had never seen anyone look that bad before. What had he been doing in his office?“Hey sweetie,” he croaked. “How are you?”“I’m… fine,” I answered. I did not know how to ask him back because I could clearly see that he was broken beyond measure. All I could do was try to get his mind off his work. “I tucked in the children and practiced a few baking tricks. And don’t worry, I didn’t burn my hands.”That seemed to do the trick as he smiled, walking to hug me.“Are you okay? How was your day?” I finally asked, seeing the hug as an invitation to talk to him.He told me everything about his work just as we went to our bedroom. There I offered to bathe him which he gladly accepted.We stripped and entered the shower as I used the soft sponge on his body. At first his muscles were tense but by the time I was done, he was perfectly fine.We got out of t
Auroras POVI started to feel bad for bringing Zendaya over as mother had not called as usual before showing up.“Hey zen. How about you go home and we’ll talk over the phone?” I said to her as she nodded but kept her eyes on the woman.“Zen…” the woman tried to talk to Zendaya who didn’t respond but walked away in anger. “Zendaya, come back here right now! I am your mother! Enough with this nonsense.”“Mother, stop it,” I said as the woman shot me an eye which had me closing my eyes and looking away in anger.“Zendaya you ungrateful brat! Do you even know how much I have given up for your sake?! Everything! But instead this is how you treat me. You are cruel and wicked.”I had had enough of this and I decided to put the woman in her place.“Mother stop!” I yelled, shocking the woman as I had never raised my voice for the woman before. She did not know what to do as she stared at me with shocked eyes. Her surprised expression turned to anger as she found out I was stopping her from m
Camille Montclair’s POVI watched Aurora watch a series with me before deciding to leave the house.Why would she do that when I had clearly come to see her and of course take money from her husband? It was mostly to see her. I didn’t want her having any second ideas about what I would do and not do.“Why?” I asked. “It’s not making any sense for you to leave when I’m around. You should stay with me.”“I’d take my chances out there,” she said. “I don’t feel like staying with you today.”“What’s the meaning of that?” now she was just being offensive. I had done nothing wrong by coming over. “Why are you not giving your mother enough time today? Why are you acting like you’re irritated? Why are you all not happy? I don’t get it.”“Maybe it’s because of you, mother, have you thought about that?”“I don’t get you.”“You make everything about you,” she snapped, catching me off guard. “You pushed us into the life paths that weren’t going to make us happy but that would make you happy.”“I d
Delia’s POVI returned from an angry visit at the lawyers office to see my ex boyfriend for an update on the work I gave him. While on my way driving to his house, I thought about the conversation I had had with the lawyer.“So what do you think of the divorce agreement the president sent me?” I asked the man. The lawyers had also sent me an online one just in case I did something stupid to the physical one which was crazy.He looked through the files before shaking his head in a sad way. Well that was not a good sign.“This is very tight and they must have put a lot of thought into it before making this paperwork,” he said. “They really closed off every loophole I would have used to get to him. And who can even say anything at this point. He’s the president, of course he’d close off everything.”That was not helpful to me but instead upscaling the president and his efficiency. I needed this stupid lawyer to be my lawyer and tell me how to deal with the situation at hand.“It would b
Delia’s POVThat was more than enough, I smiled. I leaned into the bed, kissing him before talking to myself.“I have finally found what I can use against that bitch.”“Hey, quick question,” he broke through my loud thoughts.“What is it?”“When are we going to be together again?”I scowled at this. Who did he think he was? “Okay first of all, I don’t like sleeping with men who stick their dicks into too many holes.”“We both know that’s a lie,” he smirked.“What I think is none of your business. What I say goes. Do you understand me?” he nodded. “And secondly, that skank that just left, hope you haven’t forgotten her? It’s clear you were enjoying yourself a little too much there. You didn’t seem to want me then.”“Delia, don’t do this to me,” he said as I walked to the door. “You already promised me and I am trying to keep my end of the deal.”I winked at him while blowing him a kiss before walking off as I heard him curse my name. Oh we were just getting started, I thought to mysel
Asher’s POVI got back home and found Zendaya was not there as usual to welcome me back. This was odd seeing as it had been a tradition for a few days after we had reconciled and I was beginning to fall in love with the whole traditional wife hugged tired husband at the door kind of thing.I walked to her room, knocked on it before opening it to find the air in there stale. The windows were closed and it smelled of perfume. She had gone out of the house.That was all I needed to know she was not out. The perfume she sprayed also determined what she was going out for. If it was too strong she was meeting a male and wanted to put out a strong female personality. This scent was a mild one. She was meeting a female. I walked out to see my butler talking to a maid.“Hey.” I called to him as he walked up the stairs to meet me. “Welcome home sir,” he greeted.“Thank you,” I hurriedly said. “Have you seen Zendaya?”“She left the house to meet Mrs Delia.” That was all I needed to know that
Delia’s POVThis was a surprise. I had not expected to see him here. Shit! I had forgotten to tell her to come alone. I was really bad at this whole blackmail scheming thing.Now he was here, I was screwed. How do I get out of a situation like this?This was so crazy. I looked at him with hatred standing beside the bitch. I still had my ring on but there was no wedding band on his finger. He had taken it off.How could he do such a thing to me?“Stay away from us Delia,” he said in anger. He turned to Zendaya pulling her up. “Let’s go.”“Wait!” I yelled to my feet, going to block the entrance. “You can’t leave.”“What do you mean we can’t leave?” he was fuming badly again. “You have a few seconds to explain yourself before I kick you out of my way. Why won’t you let me be? I’ve already sent you the divorce papers, now leave my life, sign it and move how you want to live.”“I want to live with you.”“Well I don’t want to. What part of that don’t you get? You’re making me mad right now.
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
