Zendaya’s POVWhen the guard approached me I knew who had sent him and what he wanted. Before he could say anything I held up my hand and shook my head.“Tell your boss that I won’t be coming to his table. If he wants to talk to me he can meet me here. I will not show up at his table no matter what. Even if this part of the building was falling apart.”The guard could not say anything as he walked back to his master to give off the news. I knew Asher and his pride. The man would rather fall off a cliff than stand up from his table to meet with me. But I was going to show him that I could be stubborn as well.While the guard relayed my words to the man I looked at the dancers on the stage enjoying their performance.I started to think back on the plan I had with Travis in the car before showing up for the party.“When we enter the party, you will leave me alone at the table for a while and this would give that idiot the time to jump in and try to talk to me,” I had said to Travis.“H
Travis’s POVWhen I had excused myself as the plan had been for me to do, I walked to an attendee to initiate a conversation with the person.It wasn’t like I wanted to do that but I had no choice. I was only here to escort her to do her thing. I was a third wheel.I watched the empty chair, expecting her ex husband to join her but instead he had sent someone to talk to her, however, from her head movements and body language I knew she had rejected his advances.Within a few seconds, I watched her stand to her feet and leave the table. My eyes immediately darted to the president who watched her with curiosity as he stood to his feet to follow her to the balcony.I hated having to be on the side lines. I wanted to be by her side and I wanted so much to let the man know that she was mine for the taking, but I held myself back.This was not my fight, it was her fight. I had no right interfering. I had to stay on my own.I was really not happy about this but I knew she had to face the ma
Asher’s POVAfter the picture of Zendaya had been shown to me during that charity event, I decided that I was going to do everything to make sure I got to her.Everyone around me irritated me and it made me snap at everyone including my so-called wife who was always in my face with her stupid letter.“Stop saying hurtful things to me!” Delia had yelled when I had snapped at her to stop being a pest. “I am your wife and I deserve some respect.”“Don’t get in my face again,” I could remember my response to her before walking out. I didn’t care how she felt, she had her shopping therapy to help her get over herself.My only goal had been to see Zendaya and when I got the opportunity to talk to her in the next function I was elated.I could see how much she had grown and how far she had come. She was more confident and I liked it. It made me realize how much I wanted her and I loved having to deal with women who were as beautiful and confident as her.I could not even believe that I had b
Asher’s POVAfter hearing that she had gotten the abortion, I instantly relaxed. I had been to a school earlier last week and saw three children that looked eerily like me. I had wanted to ignore the fact that we looked alike but the teachers and the parents around kept on emphasizing on that.It was also during the same time that I had met up with zen. Of course I would think the children were mine, however after hearing that she had gotten an abortion, I was calmer.I could now relax knowing that I was not an absentee father. The media would love to rally that around and even my opponents in politics would carry that as their slogan to win for the next election.I noticed she was mad at me for some reason and I was confused on why this was happening.“You look beautiful,” I smiled as she frowned even harder. “You know you look stunning. I can’t believe that this is you. You look amazing. You know, yesterday at the event, you were the most beautiful woman there. No one could compare
Zendaya’s POVI recognized the woman whom I had bumped into so rudely. Mirian was her name and she was my former coworker.Mirian was a self proclaimed queen bee. She has been part of the group of workers who had taunted me numerous times when I was still working in an office.I glared at her as she looked at me from my head to my toe, accessing me before noting that I was dressed exquisitely and clearly I had a life of luxury.I gave her the same look to see she was still dressed like an ordinary person. I could even see a tear on her gown and I almost chuckled when this came into my view.I could see that the woman could not hold her envy as her lips curled into a sneer before I decided to finish this confrontation with a conversation.“I’m on my way out,” I said just as she closed my way with her body.“How are you?” she asked with a smile. I knew she was trying to find out what I was up to but I would not give her that luxury.“I’ve really got to go,” I said looking through the do
“What?!” I yelled in anger. “What is the meaning of this?!”I tried cleaning off the stain before it would solidify to no avail. The damage had already been done.My designer's gown had been ruined. I looked at the person who had caused the damage to see her smirk.“Are you going to get rid of this stain on my dress?” I asked with a plain face. She suddenly got annoyed by that question staring at me like I had hit her with a sledgehammer.“How dare you say such words to me?” she gasped but even a blind person could tell that everything she did was fake.“That was clearly an accident. I had no idea it would resort to this.”Her lies fumed me up even more as I had my fists ready to pummel her face in.“However, if you’re going to be such a worry wart and try to spoil our gathering, then I’ll have no choice but to aid in some way. If you’re going to make me pay for the dress I can do it, money is not a problem for me.”The more she talked the more furious I became.“So tell me how much
While driving home I could only think of the interaction I had had with my former coworkers. They were nothing to me. I could destroy their life if I wanted and I was going to show them just how powerful I truly was.They were beneath me and not worth my time. I had a bigger fish to fry. I was going for my ex husband. He was my target and not these distractions. All I needed to do was bide my time and I would get my revenge on him.As soon as I got home, I found my phone buzzing with messages from Asher. I hissed, dumping the phone in my bag as I headed to the living room to see that Travis was still up and working on his computer.“Hey,” I smiled, heading to kiss him. “You’re still up?”“Yep,” he closed his laptop as he pulled me onto his lap while snuggling his face between my breasts. “You smell nice.”“Thank you.”He looked at the stain on my dress and frowned. “Please tell me this was an accident,” he sighed.“It was. Don’t worry, I didn’t get into any fight.”“Is that right?”“
