Chapter 95Travis’s POVI was seething with rage at how my plans had been ruined once again. I watched the children coming out of the house as they were being led by the officers.“No,” I gasped in anger. I grabbed a stone to hit on the ground before wondering what I was going to do next. I should have transferred them to another location when I had the chance.Suddenly I saw her, beautiful as always, getting out of the van and running towards the children.She had betrayed me. She had turned me into a fugitive. She was my enemy and not Asher. Asher had been a part of the plan but since she was not dealing with him then she was my next target. She was the one I needed to deal with and no one else.I watched everything in slow motion as my brain slowed the whole scene before me. I had to find a way to get her back.“But what if she doesn’t want me back?” I asked myself as I got a gun out of my jacket which I had been hiding for a long time. The gun had been gotten in case I needed it
Chapter 96Zendaya’s POVI was tearing up and grateful for how everything had gone. I couldn’t contain my feelings as I hugged him and kissed him. I was so happy I knew there was nothing I could do which would be enough to tell him how much he meant to me. I loved him for all he had done for me. He was a life saver. “Are you okay?” He asked as I nodded. While everyone clapped for us and cheered, I let my feelings flow as I kissed him without even thinking about it. He was taken aback by this but he didn’t stop me.We were entangled in each other, kissing and holding each other like it didn’t matter as I loved him for how he had saved my children’s life. He had saved them from being past tense, he had been a life saver.“You two should get a room,” Layla said as I chuckled and pulled away from him.“Thank you,” I smiled at him as he gave me a flirt run which made me blush and turned away to stop myself from behaving like a teenager.I watched him bend to the children’s height as ever
Chapter 97When I got there I found them standing on the front porch waiting for me to arrive.I wondered what was going on as I approached them. This time they were not glaring into my soul with demonic eyes. They were smiling and had a warm aura around them.I hugged Zendaya and the children before being led into the house.The smell of freshly baked pie and roasted chicken hit my nose.What had they done while I was away?I entered to see flowers on the floor with a large banner painted with the words ‘We are sorry’ written over it. “What is this?” I asked Zendaya who smiled.“Well, the kids are apologizing to you for being such a nuisance the last time they came over here and they are apologizing for not accepting you into their lives before.”“Oh,” I smiled. “Well, I forgive them.”They all stared at me with shock on their faces.“What?” I laughed. “I’m your father. You don’t expect me to hate you for being hard on me. I was hard on your mother and I deserved every treatment you
Chapter 98Asher’s POVWhile driving home I could only think back on the celebrations I had witnessed. It was a beautiful thing I had seen. I wanted to get back to that kind of house everyday.I wanted to be greeted like that everyday I would come home. I wanted to come back to a house filled with kids and joy. Seeing their little faces I was already missing them. However I was still married and I had to be with the devil's advocate at home.I had no choice. I geared up internally as I knew there would be war at home when I would reach there.As we reached home I knew something was about to happen.The second I stepped into the house, she jumped on me with curses and insults.“Very stupid idiot!” She yelled with her friend Iris by her side raining insults on me. “You’ve been out with that hoe I see. Your so called stupid children have been taking your attention from me I see.”I was annoyed by this as I came into view to see them blocking my way up to my room.“Where have you been?” S
Chapter 99Zendaya’s POVDays after things had died down a bit, I woke up from a nightmare which had me sweating profusely.In the nightmare, I had walked into the former house to see Travis strangling someone on the couch. I entered to see that it was Asher. Right in front of me he died and when Asher looked at me he had a maniacal look about him.He grabbed me by the neck as he pushed me to the wall ready to take my life.“I told you I’d get you,” he said just as he cracked my neck causing me to jump out of bed with a gasp.I held onto my neck, checking if anything was broken but I was fine. I looked to the window to see the sun brimming in with enough energy to melt snow.I walked to it, shutting it down while closing the curtain. I needed some peace and quiet.Taking up my phone, I found another message from Travis as I froze again. Why was he tormenting me regularly? What did he want? We were through, he should have moved on just as I am trying to do that.Every single day he te
Chapter 100Travis’s POVI watched her leave the apartment in a car as I cleaned the tears from my eyes. She was not going to escape me this time. She had made my last mission a failure, but this time I was going to be the one who would destroy her.Whatever she thought she was doing I was two steps ahead of her. I had special plans for her this time.I would take care of her and then I would take care of Asher. The children could remain orphans for all I care. They were nothing to me.But as for Zendaya, she was going to pay for what she had turned me into.Downing the contents of the liquor, I got ready to tail her as my phone rang.“Hello?” I said.“Where are you?” Rowan’s voice deepened.“I’m tailing her right now. She thinks she can get away from me. She’s mistaken.”“Jesus Christ, Travis. You’re going to get yourself killed. You just returned to the country last night and you’ve already started tailing her. You’re still a wanted man there, don’t forget. You’ve got to be careful
Chapter 101Zendaya’s POVI was walking out of the spa, having a blissful morning while looking at the people around with their flowers and their beautiful hair. I could not see how anything could ruin this beautiful day for me.I decided to stop by a mirror store to see the new designer's mirror. It looked beautiful with the new designs on them.My eyes instantly looked at the reflection of a green car in the mirror which had been following for some time now.I wondered if it was one of those top secret securities that Asher had hired for me.I rolled my eyes as I walked away from the store while the man called me to come and buy from him.As I walked to the car park, I noticed that the car was following me in a creepy way. It was almost like I found a reflection of Travis in it.I instantly got scared as I ran forward for my life.Almost immediately, I heard a rev as the car picked up speed while I ran with everything in me.“Help!” I yelled while running in the car park but there w
Chapter 102I had gone to the apartment with Manson and gotten my things from there. I had also gone to Travis’s apartment to get my laptop. There I had wiped away my laptop and every evidence I had of my past plans.I went to the mansion next as I remembered the last time I had been there as Asher’s wife. I walked into the house to see my children there to welcome me.We hugged and they talked excitedly about the office and the people they had met and all of that.They even showed me to their rooms and talked about how it was decorated and they had decorated it even more without any help.Asher walked in to meet me as we hugged and he held me in place.“Are you okay?” He asked as I nodded. “Don’t lie to me.”I pointed to Manson behind him.“He saved my life so I owe him one,” I smiled before turning to the guard. “And, I am very sorry for judging you from day one. You are not like that.”“It’s fine. I know you were just scared because of my accent. I get that a lot.”“How about you t
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
