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?”“

Chapter 48Zendaya’s POVThe thought of having to say that I would be romantically involved with ashes had me retching as I did not want that to be possible.He irritated me and even when he had caught me off guard with his confession earlier today I was still irritated by everything. I wanted to be done with this and be on my way to the other part of my plan. That was what I wanted. Having to deal with that man and listen to him beg for me to stay with him irritated me.I looked at Travis who laughed and slapped his thigh as he watched me wallow in disgust at my plan. If only there was a way he could help me, I would really appreciate it. The problem was that he could not do anything to Asher.I was the one who would have to destroy him since I knew some of his weaknesses from the past.It did not even need to matter if the weakness then was still around now, I was still going to use them against him.“I’m so sorry about that,” Travis said to me. “I wish I could help you but this is
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
