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?
Asher’s POVThe next morning after breakfast was calm. There was no news and when I had spoken to the generals and commissioners, they were still on the case. This was getting out of hand. At least more than a week had passed now and she was still missing.I started to have the worst fear that maybe she had been killed. I didn’t want to think too hard about it but the thought of her being killed and leaving me with these children made me shake my head in worry.No, she was not dead, I muttered to myself. She was okay.That was when I remembered that for the past few days while Zendaya had been missing, Delia had been visiting every night and trying so desperately to seduce me but had been failing to do so. She was no match for my love for Zendaya. She was the mother of my children while Delia was just a random woman I had gotten married to.Who did she think she was trying to get into my life? She must have heard about the situation of Zendaya being missing and tried to use that oppo
Asher’s POVI did not understand what the man meant by that. “What do you mean she has amnesia?” I wanted to know what he was talking about.“I don’t know how she got the injury to the head but I can tell you it was caused by a blunt blow to the head. This or she was shot but she doesn’t have any bullet hole on her skull. So it only falls down to trauma.”“So she has amnesia,” I said. “What can’t she remember? The last place she was? It’s fine, we can figure that part out later.”He shook his head. “She doesn’t remember anything. The only thing she could remember was her name. She did not have any recollection of her family or her children or even you, sir. She doesn’t know who she is. Just her name.”This was bad. I was glad that she was alive but what was I going to do to her now she has lost her memory. Was she going to be a vegetable? Was she going to die or something? I didn’t know how amnesia worked and the more the doctor explained it the worse it got.“We would need to make s
Zendaya’s POVWhen I awoke again, I found the strange man to be at the door talking to a doctor. He seemed worried and from time to time he would give a fit with the doctor calming him down.If he was the president, then didn’t he have a country to run? What was he doing by my bedside?I found his attitude to be weird. Why was he really hellbent on getting me out of bed? “She’s awake,” the doctor whispered to him, which I heard as they walked to me. “Hello miss Zendaya. How are you feeling?”“I’m okay,” I sighed. “A bit tired but I think I’ll survive.”I looked to Asher who had his eyes fixed on me. The doctor recalled his staff in the room as they all exited leaving us alone. “How are you?” he asked the minute everyone had gone. Why was everyone not leaving with this man? Who was he? He was creeping me out. “I think I’m fine,” was my reply but I was clearly not fine with him around. I wanted him gone.“Do you remember anything from yesterday?”“I already told you and the other peo
Delia’s POV“What?!” I yelled. “You’re the man here and not me. You should find a way to finish this up.”“Well that’s your problem. They don’t know me but she definitely knows you. That’s why you are the one taking the rap for it and not me.”He looked around and started to fly around packing up his things and dragging his box. Now this was alarming watching him do.“What are you doing?” I asked. “What are you packing your things up for?”“I am fleeing the country and abandoning you.”“What do you mean? I thought you said you loved me.”“That was before I knew what kind of crazy psycho bitch you turned into. I don’t even know what to say about you right now. It’s almost like you don’t care about anyone but yourself. Have you seen what you are? Look in the mirror and you’ll see how dangerous you’ve become. “You don’t care about anyone but yourself. It’s always about you and what you can do and can’t do. You make up plans that can put others into trouble. Now I see why your father loc
Asher’s POVI tried for several days to get her memories back but nothing ever worked. It was almost like I was pouring water on stone. I tried talking to her as a husband would, tried telling her of the tides we had had and the sex we had done in weird places but even that was an epic fail. I even had the children call us on video call but when they had asked what happened to her I said she had fallen while we were playing on a carousel. This had the children happy but they noticed something was off with her.I tried everything with her and yet there was nothing that helped me know she was getting better. It was almost like she was totally gone. I could not believe she was this messed up. I wanted to cry and yell at the universe for messing up my life but I didn’t do that. I calmed myself down and kept trying.All the pictures we had taken, the videos we had made, everything and she still couldn’t remember a damn thing.I was disappointed in myself for not being able to do anythin
Asher’s POVI could not go to the hospital that day because I had to take care of the children and tell them that everything was going to be okay.During dinner, they would not shut up about how they wanted to see their mum in the hospital and I kept putting it off. It was not going to end well if I actually let them go and see her. I knew how it would end.“Come on, we want to see her!” Layla yelled.“You can’t see yet. Not yet. The doctor won’t allow anyone but me in the room.”That was the excuse I kept on giving. If they saw her state, they would see she was in a worse state than before. I did not want them to start thinking that she had been involved in something worse than just an accident. “How about we watch movies and play games?” I brought it up as they cheered.Throughout the night, to avoid their questions, I played countless games with them until they passed out. That was very tiring but this method would work until she was out of the hospital.My problem came when I wo
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
