Zendaya’s POVI played with the children as it was a weekend. Instead of staying indoors like we usually did, I decided that we were going to stay outside and play.That was affecting seeing as the sun was out already so it would be a wonderful way for us to rewind and I would enjoy the afternoon breeze.Asher was not around which made it all the more boring to stay inside the house as I would play video games with him while the children would cheer us on.The problem with this was that when he wasn’t around, playing video games was boring. The children couldn’t contend with me. Their hands were too tiny to move as fast as his could on the pad.So staying out of the house and playing was a better idea.Someone clanged against the gate, getting into the house as I looked to see Delia coming in. She spoke with the security guard who then allowed her in as she walked towards me with a smile.“Hey,” she smiled, acting like a nice woman but I knew deep down if she had a gun with her she wo
Asher’s POV“Why the fuck did you let her through?!” I yelled at my guards. I was tired of telling them to keep her away from the house. I had already given them an order which they broke.These men were frustrating me with every second they breathed. How could I give out an order and they would defy me and do whatever they wanted. What was the meaning of that?They tried to explain why they had done it but it had me smacking one of them across the cheek.“This was a direct order and you disobeyed me,” I growled at him. “I have a job to do, that is why I can’t stay home and take care of my children and Zendaya myself. That is the reason I employ you. I gave you this job to keep them safe and you do the opposite of keeping them safe.“Do you know what would have happened if she had succeeded? I would have come home to a bloodbath. My children and Zendaya would be dead. “Instead of coming home to attempted murder and the police trying to keep this place secure, I would be coming back t
Zendaya’s POVThroughout the day I noticed that Asher was behaving in a weird way, however I didn’t know how I was going to tell him about it.He seemed to be hiding something and I feared the worst. There was so much going on that I was beginning to think he was doing something that he didn’t want me to find out. Something illegal. Or maybe I was reading too much meaning into it.Anytime he wanted to answer his calls, he would instead let the phone ring and answer them in his car later. This was a new behavior.I got so scared about his new attitude that I decided to tell Aurora about it but she only laughed at me.“You worry too much, let the man live,” said the woman.“But I am letting him live, I just don’t like the secrecy. It’s not too much to ask for a pure relationship where we aren’t hiding things from each other. How would you like it if your husband started hiding things from you?”“He would never hide things from me and even if he did, I would simply either ask or let it g
Zendaya’s POV“So… should we tell them?” he asked when we woke up and were staring at the ceiling naked and under the sheets.“The children?” I asked.“Yeah. They have to know.”“Isn’t it too soon? I mean, we just got engaged last night and we are telling them now? Let’s relax a little.”“I don’t want to relax. I want to tell them. If we don’t tell them, who are we going to tell? Don’t forget those children are very smart.”“I know they are.”“No, you don’t understand. They are extremely smart. Do you remember that time you were in the hospital?”“I was in the hospital twice,” I reminded him.“Oh yes, I meant the first one after your kidnapping.”“Yeah. What about it?”“Well, I had done everything within my power to hide your situation from them but they had somehow found out about your condition. I had to hide it again even when I knew it was pointless and they still found out again.”“Maybe it’s because you are not good at hiding things.”“Exactly why I think we should tell them bef
Asher’s POV“You are a very big disappointment!” I yelled on the phone as I entered the house, passing Zendaya. I had been on the phone for a few minutes yelling at a minister on the phone who had done the opposite of what I asked for.He was trying to prove that he was more experienced in this line of work when compared to me and k was trying to tell him that it wasn’t about experience at this point but about how well one could work.We argued and went back and forth a couple of times before I cut the call.That was the second call I was having which was putting me in a terrible mood.I flopped into the couch, leaning my head back until I could see the ceiling.“Hey,” Zendaya said beside me. “Are you okay? You seem stressed and you’ve been on the phone for a very long time.”“Yeah,” I sighed. “Just work stuff.”The first call I had was from my PR team. Lately they had been getting on my nerves. I had disagreements with my legal team and PR team as they said releasing a particular sta
Blair’s POVWhile typing away at my computer, I saw a post from an article which said that Zendaya and Asher were getting remarried. I suddenly felt my heart shatter at what I had done to her by getting married to her boyfriend at the time.I felt sorry and tried to call Aurora who was the only person I knew who had a connection to Zendaya.“Who is this?” Aurora asked while laughing on the phone.I was in another city and using another city’s phone number so it wasn’t far fetched that she wouldn’t know who was calling.“It’s Blair, Zendaya’s friend,” I said as that left a bitter taste in my mouth. Was I even worthy to calling myself her friend after what I had done?I took in deep breaths as I listened to what she had to say to me.“Are you out of your mind?!” She asked in anger.“I…”“Don’t you ever call my phone number again!”She cut the call as I was left stunned. Why would she snap at me like that? I had not done anything to her. Had Zendaya told her anything about me? If that wa
