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

Zendaya’s POVI listened to Aurora patiently as she talked to me about Blair and I was very conflicted seeing the message Blair had sent through my sister.What was going on? I was making friends with everyone who has ruined my life in the past and I had ruined theirs in revenge. Was that how this was? I hated doing this.They were to enjoy their ruined life. It wasn’t up to a year since I did what I did to her or was it? I had forgotten about what I did to her anyway. She wasn’t that important. Time had somehow managed to throw her off my radar.She was lucky I didn’t have any ill intentions towards her or I would have traced her to finish the work I had started.She had broken me by sleeping with my boyfriend at the time behind my back. She was supposed to be my best friend however she had seen my as competition.All I had done for her was try to create a better environment for the both of us and she had decided that I was not worth love and peace.I was bittered at how she could ha
Asher’s POVI had returned from work to see Zendaya looking through a list of catalogs. Aurora must have left but when she came around in the morning, the two of them were going through the planning of the engagement ceremony of a lifetime. They wanted it to be the talk of the century which was not bad seeing as I was the president and I wanted something like that for myself as well.“Did you find what you were looking for?” I asked from the door, getting her to look at me with a smile.She jumped through the magazines and files on the floor to hug me before jumping back into bed.“Not quite,” she smiled. “I did find ones that I loved but they’re there.”She pointed to a pile of more than thirty magazines which I didn’t know how to go through due to there being so many of them. “Hope you don’t expect me to go through all of that?” I asked as she laughed. “Oh no, that’s not mine. That’s Aurora’s.”“Oh thank goodness,” I sighed.“These are mine,” she pointed to more than fifty magazi
