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
Delia’s POVI pulled the trigger and watched Zendaya gasp before the shirt she had on started to get red around the chest area. She was successfully killed.She fell over while staring me in the face. This was my plan. To torture her until the very end.I heard footsteps before being joined by my ex boyfriend who did not look happy that I had made such a risky move.“What do you mean?” I laughed. “I already sent you the memo that I would kill her tonight.”“That’s not what I mean Delia,” he grunted. He was mad at me for something that I didn’t know about. “You didn’t have to kill her. She was our ticket to collecting a huge ransom. And you shooting her out here in the woods could attract attention, did you think about that?”I had not thought about that seeing as I was being led by my emotions and I was tired of being rejected. If I was not going to be with Asher then neither would she.“It was my only choice,” I growled. “Besides, this would make our plans faster.”“What do you mean?
