Zendaya’s POVI was so relieved after going through the file and finding out she had nothing. I should have known this was going to be a waste of my time but I wanted to see what she had against me.Standing before her, I was disappointed. I could not believe she had thought she had a shot against me. What was this madness? She was really incompetent. Did she think she could call me out and blackmail me? This was my game. I was the one who blackmailed others and not the other way around.In a couple of days of me being in the states, I had brought down my family, my ex lover, my best friend and almost brought down Asher which I ultimately did later on unknowingly. That was how powerful I was.This woman didn’t know she had drawn a battle line with me and I would make sure she regretted what she had done to me.She didn’t have much evidence against me. In fact, this wasn't evidence against me. It was against Travis. He was the one who would be arrested if he was free and not me. He had
Chapter 146Delia’s POVThroughout my drive I couldn’t help myself from feeling terrible at how this had gone. How they had treated me like I wasn’t worth anything. How could they beat me at my own game? How did they know how to maneuver my plots?I was a newbie at this and I was so bad at blackmailing her. I should have hired someone for this job but I was too broke for it. I was out of money.I angrily returned to Iris’s house only to find out that a party was going on and I had no idea about it. She had not even decided to tell me about the party. What kind of sick joke was this? How could she do this to me?I entered the house to see everyone gathered in a section of the house. I followed the crowd there to find a man on his knees with a ring in his hand proposing to Iris.What?! This was definitely news seeing as I did not even know this was going to happen.We were friends. She was supposed to tell me everything that was going on in her life. She was supposed to hear my opinion
Delia’s POVI could not believe my ears. I dropped the bat as I was shaking all over. I had been tricked. I had been alone. This was a revelation I had not seen coming.“If you still think that telling him that I have cheated on him would make you feel better then by all means go ahead and let him know,” she smiled. “He knows about every single outing we’ve had. I tel him everything. “In fact, he knows me more than I know myself. And he loves me for me. You don’t know me. You just want a minion who would be there to hail you every day of the year but would never break out of your hold. I am not that minion. I have other things involved.”“You tricked me!” I yelled in anger. “You have been a fake friend from the beginning. You tricked me into believing you were here for me but you were not. You used me.”“I didn’t use you, you were the one who used me.”“Liar!” I yelled. I was blinded by rage I would do anything to make sure she paid for what she did to me. How could she think this wa
Zendaya’s POVWhile I worked on my laptop, sending files to my assistant and chatting with her on the progress of my company, I got a message from my mother.It was an email which I did not want to open but it dangled aimlessly at the top of my screen becoming a bother.I left the chat I was having to attend to the email.Opening it would be a mistake I told myself while I hovered over the email with my mouse. I was afraid to click on it and read what it had.“You can do this,” I sighed. I was ready for the usual messaging and I opened it to be shocked that this one was quite different from the others.‘Hello Zen, how are you doing? I know this is going to come off as weird or something but I just wanted to say that I’m sorry for what has happened between us in the past. ‘This was all my fault and I take full responsibility. I understand now the reason for why you hate me so much. But I do wish you can forgive me. You and Aurora are all I have. You are both my daughters and I don’t w
Delia’s POVWhile staying in my fathers house he refused me to leave. He said I was a wrecking ball that needed to be shelved and I hated him for it.I would scream and yell at him but it didn’t matter what I did, he clamped down on me staying in my room.“Come on, just let me out,” I would beg him from time to time but he would not listen until o was done begging.I decided to take matters into my own hands and escape without letting him know.I ran out of the house when he had been out with the butler, locking me in the house.The only problem was that I was good at picking locks and they had no knowledge of this. When they were gone, I picked the locks, freed myself and drove off in my car.Throughout my time in the house I had time to think of what my next move was going to be.I had cried for days, eaten and thrown up because I could not keep my food down, been depressed, gone through Iris’s posts online to see she had gotten out a wedding date and even stalked Asher on his pres
Asher’s POVI finished my meeting that afternoon and started out of the hall as my assistant brought out some papers for me to sign on my way to the car.My pocket vibrated as I got the phone out to see a strange number. Great, now it was another random number calling me.These days I have had so many people calling me. They had somehow gotten my number from someone and they were elated to be calling the president. I would soon get rid of the number to get a new one.I decided to pick this one and listen to what this one had to say.“Hello,” I sighed.“Hello, I’m so sorry to bother you but I’m Aurora, Zendaya’s sister.”“Oh,” I relaxed a bit. I was about to go on the offensive but this was not bad at all. I walked to the side to avoid talking to anyone but focusing on her. “How are you? I heard about your pregnancy. Congratulations.”“Thank you so much Mr President,” she laughed.The formality was not needed seeing as we were practically family. “Please, call me Asher,” I said to her.
Zendaya’s POVA piercing headache had me waking up as I peered into the darkness before me but could not see anything. I struggled to get up but failed as I fell back on the floor. What had happened to me? How did I end up here? I had been kidnapped.That was the only explanation for why those men in black masks had dumped me in the van and driven off with me. Who had done this? Who had been the one to orchestrate this operation was the problem?My eyes started to get used to the environment.It was a dark cell which didn’t have any window except a tiny vent at the top of the wall. A little light was let in through this point.There was a bucket by the wall for waste removal and a bowl of water with water inside by another part of the wall.One thing with being kidnapped was that there was no manual on how to act if it ever happened.There was no normal way to act. Some people could be calm and others would panic. As for me, I didn’t know what I was feeling. I was just there like the
Delia’s POVI had worn sexy lingerie while waiting for him to show up. It was very bleak in the house seeing as there was no one around.The children I presumed were in their rooms, caged from leaving so as to avoid them from disappearing like their mother but it was fine, they were not my target anyway.I looked at the bar. Since I was here, I could make a drink for myself which was what I did. I made for myself and made for him too as soon as I heard his car rev in the compound.I walked back to my seat in a dark corner where he would not easily spot me and settled down.He entered the bar section of the living room and walked to the bar before spotting the drink. He was shocked I could see him questioning reality. He turned to see me in one of the chairs as I raised my drink to the air.“Hey Asher,” I smiled at myself for bringing forth such a wonderful plan. He was shocked to see me there.“What are you doing here?” he asked before he noticed what I had on. “What is this? Are you
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

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
