thing but the music in his radio to keep me company, I fell into my thoughts.“Hey,” he called my attention to him as I smiled. “Are you okay? You seem distant.”“I’m sorry. I’ve got a lot on my mind.”“Oh yeah? Like what?” he asked wanting to know what I was thinking about as I looked around looking for a way to give off an excuse. “I had difficult clients today,” I sighed. “They didn’t think I could run my own company. It was embarrassing but I did put him in his place.”“Did he come to you for help?”“Apparently his failing business needed my touch and that was what I did. I saved it, yet I was given the bad hand.”“I’m glad you put him in his place. No one deserves to talk to you anyhow. You’ve come a long way. I knew when your business was the only thing you were holding onto. Here you are being one of the biggest bakeries in the country.”I loved hearing the history of how I started and I looked towards the school when I heard the bell ring.Almost immediately I found the tripl
I found his answer to be romantic and it made me get some from my seat to hug him. I could not believe that I had someone who would be willing to go through hell with me.I had suffered so much alone that having someone else join me in fighting my battles made me so emotional. All I could do was smile and hug him intensely.I had found it hard to trust someone hug Travis had made it extremely easy to do it.“So what do we do first?” He asked after I had let him go and he rounded the table to eat his chicken.“Well, for me to get my revenge I will have to move back to America,” I said as he choked on his meal. “Are you okay?”“Yeah,” coughed, slapping his chest. “Actually, no. I need water.”I ran to get him water from the tap before handing him the glass cup to drink from.He downed it and dropped the cup with a sigh.“Did you say America?” He asked me.“Yeah. That’s where I am from.”“I had no idea.”“My accent should have told you.”“Oh it did, but I didn’t know you were a native of
The triplets on the other hand were having a blast being on the plane. This was their first plane ride since they were born and I could understand their excitement.Paul, Tim and Ash all held their hands together while chattering nonstop throughout the ride.I sat on my seat with my headphones on while listening to the songs being played in the background. It was calming and I did not have to listen to the kids and their screams of joy.I felt the quake of the plane before noticing that it was about to get into the air.Travis settled beside me with a tray of food.“Lobster?” he offered as I chuckled while taking one.“You love lobsters so much,” I smiled at him.“Yeah I do. I just hope the earth doesn’t run out of them.”We finished eating before I closed my eyes to drift off into the darkness.“Hey,” someone shrugged me awake as I opened my eyes to see him standing over me. “We’re here.”“Oh,” I muttered to my feet. With a sigh, I stood to my feet to see the children asleep
“Why would you do that?!” I yelled in shock. “You can’t just get out plans and cancel them.”“I just did,” he smiled, leading me to a chair to sit with me. “Now, care to tell me how we are going to take out everyone?”I was confused at what this man was capable of but I smiled at him and decided fighting over his choice was not worth the trouble.“I haven’t brought up anything yet. But I was thinking that maybe you could bring something up.”“Something like what?”“I’d like to bring down my family’s company. If I can do that, I would have accomplished part of my goal before going for my ex-husband.”“With this I think I can bring up a plan that we can all work with,” Travis said, pacing around the room. “Now all I have to do is call up some of my spies and they’ll have this done.”“Have what done?”“I’ve done this for an opposing company before and it was epic. All I need to do is plant people in the company, add in the viruses into the company servers as well as dropping in some spyw
Travis’s POV After I had made the call, I started to dress up for they would soon give me a call back wanting to meet with me.“Why would you call them?” Zendaya asked in anger. “We agreed to watch them crumble and fall to the ground. We are watching them right now!”“Zen,” I called to her while she paced around in anger. “Now you have every right to be mad but you have to listen to what I have to say. We can use this to our advantage. We can easily buy their company and rubbish it how we like. Is that not a better plan?“I mean, they would see their beloved company fall to the ground. It would be more painful to see it.”She nodded to my plans as she agreed with it. She looked back at the screen to see her mother agree to have an audience with me.Within seconds, I got a call as my request had been accepted.“Like you have a choice,” I muttered under my breath before cutting the call.I exited the room going to my own room to dress into my business suit. Within minutes I was out
Zendaya’s POV I had been on the balcony relaxing for the first time in my life. I was not doing anything, there was no work to do and I was not breastfeeding. The last time I had relaxed was after giving birth to the triplets and I wouldn’t call that relaxing because I had three mouths to feed every five minutes.Since I left the family and the country, all I had done was work for what I had. There was no time to rest and even during pregnancy I still went to work.I knew what I wanted and I had to only work diligently for years before I would get it. I did and as good I did not give up on myself.Having to watch from this vantage view as my family’s business crumbled had me feeling on top of the world.I could not wait for Travis to come back and tell me the good news from all his meetings.The door opened as I saw him walking into the apartment with a huge smile on his face. That was when I knew something was up and I was eager to know what it was.“Where are the kids?” he as
Knowing that I had a revenge plan against Alexander after seeing him with my former best friend, I told Travis all I had seen and leaned back in my chair to think of the past.I couldn’t help it. The flashbacks were always there to remind me of how I had come far.“I'm so sorry you had to see them again. Is there any way I could help?” he asked, wanting to help me but I could not accept his help anymore. He had done so much for me I did not know how I was going to repay him.“Thank you but I’ll do this on my own,” I smiled trying to appear strong and brave while my heart broke from inside. I had not known that being too close to those two would open old wounds I didn’t know were still there. Seeing my family had done nothing but angered me and dished out hurt but seeing those two had only made me feel how painful betrayal was. That was a feeling I did not want to get again.“Listen, you don’t have to act strong all the time,” he said leaning forward from his chair with his hands cla
I decided that I was going to play dirty just like them. I would not let them get away with what they had done to me. If they were going to act like I was nothing and be hard on me, then I would return the favor ten times more.They would not have a happy life, not after I had cried for one and wanted to be with the other.They had been my world at the time but now I was prepared to make them pay and suffer for what they had done to me.I called my assistant on the phone who had arrived the next day after me in the states. “Hello, ma’am,” she answered with a hurried tone. “If you’re calling for the new clients, I am currently running about trying to sign…”“Whatever you’re doing, I suggest you stop it and come to the hotel at once,” I sighed. “I’ve got something more important than whatever it is you’re doing.”The woman found my tone strange as she rushed to the hotel and within minutes was with me.“You have seen the pictures and now you know why I want to know much about their lif
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
