After spending the sweltering night in Zion’s office, he and Maya eventually made their way back to Maya’s home. After they had arrived at their destination, the two of them showered together. Maya and Zion were snuggling in bed together when Zion got the idea to give Maya a foot massage. Taking about the plans for the twin, which, of course, could be one. Zion, though, wanted two. His message was quite soothing, and it was clearly done with a lot of affection. Maya was well aware that she was incredibly blessed to have Zion in her life. So she laid back and let the foot massage calm her down.“How was your day today?” Zion asked his wife.“After a while of sitting around doing nothing, I decided to go out with my friend Mishka. My day got trashed when I bumped into my ex-fiance. But it’s nothing to worry about. I dealt with it. He won’t come back to bother me. I’m not sure if he knows what’s going on in my life, though. I went shopping after that. My bump is starting to show, so I ne
Mishka hasn’t seen or read any papers or news yet. She ran to the hospital and talked to Zion’s assistant, Lucas. Her friend was in the hospital, but she didn’t know why. She turned and looked at Lucas.“What was wrong with her?”“I don’t know for sure, but there are no signs to show that she has been beaten or anything, which is good.”“What? Beaten by who? What are you talking about? “When Lucas gave Mishka the newspaper, Mishka laughed and couldn’t believe what she was reading. “Wait, Lord Archer, believes this piece of trash?” She looked at Lucas and asked, “Yesterday, Maya was with me when Nathan and Teresa came in. Did you get to see what this person is wearing? Maya wasn’t wearing a red shirt; she was wearing a white dress. What kind of joke is this? I swear to God that I’ll go to jail if anything bad happens to my friend or her child. What the hell is going on, where the fuck is Lord Archer?” Mishka looked all around, but he couldn’t find Lord Archer. She ran outside and trie
~Zion’s POV~Everyone had left, but I was still outside, waiting for my wife to fall asleep so I could sneak into her room and snuggle up to her while she was asleep. Rub her tummy and apologize to my kids. I almost killed them. I am so stupid. Very stupid. Maya has seen too much already, but she has never once overreacted. She always waited for me to explain, but I didn’t even fucking wait for her to explain before jumping to conclusions like an idiot. I wronged my wife, and she’s not even leaving me. I got up from the chair. I glanced inside the hospital room from the window. I noticed she was sleeping. I opened the door and closed the window, so no one can see what was inside. Thank God Lucas managed to get her into a VIP room. I went inside to get some warm water. She hasn’t taken a shower since the morning. So I went inside to get some warm water and a clean cloth to wipe her down. Has she eaten? The thought of that made tears stream down my face. I can’t believe myself. I can’t
~Zion’s POV~ It’s been a month since I’ve been banned. It doesn’t really matter to me as long as she doesn’t leave me, and I also hope that she doesn’t find out that for the past month, I’ve never slept in the bedroom that we share as a husband and wife. I have been sleeping outside her room overnight. The only time I will sleep in our bedroom is when she finally forgives me and comes back to our bedroom. When I opened my laptop, pictures of that stupid newspaper came pouring into my mind. The idiotic publication was almost responsible for the dissolution of my marriage and for making me lose my cool. Ivy Jones, the man Lucas went to teach a lesson to, mentioned the name, Ivy Jones. Ivy was the one who handed over the pictures taken of my wife to the newspaper studio. I think it’s about time I went to see the Jones as an enemy instead of as their son-in-law. I pulled out my phone and gave Lucas a call in an effort to uncover a flaw, just any flaw in the Jones operation. I’d like for t
“I don’t understand. Why do you keep calling me Ivy Connor? I don’t even like that name!” I saw Mariam now, biting her nails. Yeah, it’s exactly what I wanted. They planned on separating me from my wife. I will debunk each one of their lies now.“Mariam, do you want to talk, or should I talk?” I questioned her, and she immediately stood up from where she was sitting and made an attempt to flee, “Woman, you won’t get very far with that attitude! You will stay here until everything is over.” I told her to sit down, and she obeyed like a scared little kitten.“Honey, I think it would be best if Lord Archer leaves.” Mariam made an effort to get me to leave the house. But I am a man on a mission. “Oh dear, if there is anyone to leave this house, it will be you. I just purchased the house a minute ago while I was just talking to you and until I’ve finished, no one will be allowed to leave this house.” I saw how wide their eyes got. Robert looked at his phone and probably heard from his law
~Maya’s POV~The alarm went off with such a resounding chime at one in the morning, shattering the tranquility of the night and penetrating my auditory canals with its piercing tones. After a few minutes, I was able to open my eyes and turn off the alarm. I took a quick glance around the room before donning my slippers, putting on my bathrobe, and covering myself with it. It had just the right amount of warmth. I got up and started walking towards the door. My eyes immediately widened as soon as I opened the door. My spouse was asleep outside my room, so the allegations were real after all. After everyone had gone to sleep, Zion would come and sleep outside my door. He would wait until everyone was asleep before doing this. Am I a wicked wife? What would the workers think of me? Lucas told me that Zion has never slept in our matrimonial bedroom since the day I moved out. Zion has been sleeping on the floor all this time. I was so close to shedding a tear when I realized how out of his
~Maya's POV~I was having such a hard time processing anything, so I just gazed at my phone.Why was my father calling me?He drove me away from his home as if I had never been his daughter, but when I returned there with Lord Archer, he started to take an interest in me again. I am not entirely sure what to describe him; perhaps an opportunist would be appropriate. I didn’t pick up the phone, as I didn’t know what he wanted. One thing is certain, though: he needs help. The only thing that man ever thinks about is money. I didn’t pick up the call, but I saw a text message pop up on my phone screen.Dad: I’m sorry.What! What’s the matter with him? He called me to say that he was sorry. How could that even be? He didn’t want me to ask Zion to help him with his business, did he? Is there something wrong with him? Is he alright? I had a lot of questions, but then I brushed everything off. I heard gasps in the television room. As I got closer, I could make out the sound of moaning, but it
~Zion’s POV~I was driving us to Andrew’s place. I could tell my wife didn’t like the idea, and she was going there because of me. It’s a good thing I didn’t give him a call to tell him I changed my mind. My family comes first, so I did what was best for my wife and kids. As the cars stopped at the red robot, I made an immediate booking at one of my hotels. Since we were going to have lunch, we might as well do it just the two of us. I mean, four of us. I made sure they gave me the top floor and set it up within an hour while I drove around to buy them some time to finish with everything. I looked at her and saw she was rubbing her tummy. I figured the twins might be giving her a hard time. I placed one of my hands on her tummy as I drove, and then I felt kicks. My heart skipped a million times in just one beat. A beautiful feeling I would give anything to feel. I looked at her. She was still a little anxious about meeting her ex and every other person she knew. I wouldn’t want to put
~Zion's POV~ It’s been a month since I came back from the hospital. Maya did an excellent job managing the company, and it was a clever decision on her part to invite Lucas to serve as Vice President. For quite some time, I have had it in mind to promote Lucas to the position of Vice President. After Maya delivered birth, my original intention was to get him elected vice president of the company so that I could spend more time with my family while Lucas managed the company. I have no idea how Maya was able to deal with Jacob. My little Bunny could be quite fearsome sometimes. Everything was just as good as I left it. Additionally, there were positive financial flows. I looked at the time and then shut down my laptop so that I could start making my way home. I am in desperate need of some quality time with my children. They are already calling me dada. Yea, I am a fucking dada right now, and it’s the best feeling ever. I closed my laptop, left my office, and asked the driver to head st
~Maya’s POV~I cautiously opened my eyes and saw my entire family piled into my bed while I heard muffled conversations going on around me. It’s giving me a terrible headache. I got out of bed and sat down slowly.“What happened?” I asked, not sure what was going on.“You fainted, and the doctor said it was due to stress, so we brought you home.” Then I had the sudden realization that there had been gunshots at the hall of justice today immediately after the court had finished.“Where is Ivy?” As I kept an eye on her, I noticed that she was looking down. I rose up.“I’m sorry Maya, but she deserved it. She could have killed you. It’s possible that the kids would have grown up without a mother.“I know, but you could have gone to jail too, sis.”“Well, that was self-defense. She was lucky that I aimed for her leg. I could have aimed for her skull.”“Ivy!”“What!”“You are not a murderer. Where did you get a gun?”“Well, if you mess with my family, I can be a murderer.”“Okay, where did
~Maya’s POV~The high court was situated on one of the busiest streets in M-City. It was smack dab in the heart of M-City. My family and I got out of the cars and strolled in, and we watched as Kelly and her family did the same thing. Her parents were successful in getting her released on bail. It is a mystery to me how that took place in the absence of a trial, yet this is where the fight took place. The family feud between the Archers and the Martins was what everyone was talking about. Kelly gave me the once over from head to toe, but after that, she began behaving as though she was extremely mentally disturbed. However, I am not easily duped. Because of this, I am currently one step ahead of them. We sat down and waited for the court to start. Today, the courtroom was noticeably busier than it typically was, most likely as a result of the presence of two of the most infamous families. I could hear murmurs and whispers filling the large hall as everyone tried to predict the outcome
~Maya’s POV~I carried the agreement with me as I walked out of my office, which I had drafted for Jacob Martin earlier. I exited the hallway and entered the conference room. I took my stand and addressed the press. I watched as Jacob Martin arrived and then I went on to announce that Archer Group would now be partnering with Martin Cooperation. The press took pictures. One thing I know is that Joseph will not have the chance to read the document he is signing. As he took the stand next to me, he gave me a piece of paper with an insulin vial. After taking a quick glance at the paper and the vial, I slipped it onto my blazer. It was the amen of the drug Kelly used on my husband. I gave Josepher the agreement and, as expected, he didn’t go through the whole document.Stupid man.As I saw him sign the document, a grin spread across my face. After the conference, I made a dash for the hospital to find Zion’s doctor and handed the piece of paper and the vial to him, despite the fact that I
At the Martin’s Cooperations, Jacob Martin couldn’t believe he had just been disrespected, especially by a girl he underestimated. In a fit of rage, he threw everything off his desk and broke anything that was susceptible to being damaged. He checked the time on his watch. He had 50 minutes to come up with a solution, and he knew there was no way to buy out time; the girl was deadly. He was perplexed as to why the girl seemed so icy compared to Zion.Why did Zion let me have my way? That girl, where did she learn how to do business?The man made light of his predicament with a hearty laugh. A green hand will be responsible for deciding the future of Martin Cooperations. He began to pace back and forth until the thought occurred to him to contact an attorney for assistance.Line 2: HelloJacob: Edward, I need help within the next half an hour. Can you assist?Line 2: Only on the condition that you tell me how much harm we’re talking about and which family or firm we’re dealing with her
~Maya’s POV~ After I was searched and they didn’t find anything on me, the three women finally opened the door for me. “Is this how you treat all your business acquaintances, Jacob?” I don’t care to fucking call him Mr. Martins. For all I care, he does everything like a man wearing panties on his skull. Stupid man. I reserve the title of Mr. only for people who have earned my respect. I flashed him a grin that did not reach my ear. I really don’t have the time. Thanks to my husband for always wearing a cold face in the outside world, I can cope with wearing one for this idiot in front of me. “Well, you can’t blame me. You sent my daughter to jail after recording your conversation with her.” “Fair enough.” I didn’t wait for him to ask me to take a seat. I helped myself. “I didn’t know you had company.” “Well, I didn’t know you were coming. Mrs. Archer.” “That makes sense,” I remarked. Looking closely at the old man, I am about to finish today. “If you came to talk about my daught
~Maya’s POV~My already swollen eyes hurt from the bright light that was coming in through the window, and I let out a low groan in response. After kicking off the blankets, I got out of bed and went straight to the bathroom to shower. I have no idea how Zion manages to pull it off, but running a successful business is no easy feat. I focused on relaxing and letting the water take care of everything else. I really, really miss Zion’s touches, and right now I’m so hot it’s not even funny. I gave a low groan as I pinched my tits and let out the sound. I slowly made my way down until my fingers hit my clit. I made a circling motion on my clit. I was so frustrated that I got out of the shower when I realized I wasn’t going to receive what I wanted. I walked back into the shower after pulling out the Dildo that I had purchased a week ago. I started touching myself, thinking of everything that Zion could have whispered in my ears. I am thinking of all the places my husband could have touche
~Maya’s POV~I didn’t interrupt the woman in front of me as she went on and on about how I stole Zion from her. I just kept staring at her.“Bitch, he was never yours! Archie was mine.” I swear I’m starting to hate the Archie name.“I take it that you are in agreement that you drugged my husband, and that you abducted my daughter,” I said in a calm voice.“Yes!”Immediately she said ‘Yes’, I made sure to cut off everything before she changed her mind.“I mean, no, you’re recording this, aren’t you?” I smiled. She came charging at me with the intention of slapping me, but I was quicker than she was. I grabbed her hand and turned it around before pinning her to the office desk. I got my face closer to her ear and leaned forward.“I am knowledgeable about how to handle a raving lunatic such as yourself. You are in for a surprise if you believe that we have reached the end of our conversation. I will corner you in such a way that not even your family will be able to help you in getting ou
~Maya’s POV~Without Zion, life has been challenging. All I want right now is to find Kelly and imprison her. No, but not until I hurt her where it hurt the most. She just can’t go to jail and forget what she did to my husband and daughter. She has to pay. I am well aware that she has the support of her family, but I am a woman on a mission. The doctor informed us that she would be visiting him this morning. The entire day, both Lucas and I have been waiting for a call from the doctor.“Lucas, do you trust the doctor? I can’t wait any longer. I want justice for my husband and daughter.”“Maya, I beg you to kindly take a deep breath. Everything will work out for the best in the end.” Mishka said as she stroked my back with her back.It’s been challenging living without Zion, Mishka. I want that idiot to get out of his slumber. I really miss him."“I am aware, sweetie,” Come here. She hugged me and a call came from Lucas’s phone. As he turned his head and glanced at Mishka and me, I not
