Zina’s POV:I was sitting outside in the garden just enjoying the morning when Neil came out and found me, he sat next to me with a small smile.“Good morning.” I greeted him. He nodded his head and handed me the flask I did not notice in his hands earlier. I gave him a look, it was too early to be drinking. He gave me a small smile.“It is coffee. I did not want to carry the teapot and cups to come here when I saw you out here.” He said and offered me the flask which I looked at properly. It was beautiful, and I trusted him. So I took a sip, and grimaced. It was black coffee and my sweet tooth did not agree with it at all.“Warn a lady next time.” I said and handed him back his coffee. He gave a laugh this time around.“So tell me about your hang out yesterday. Matt gave me some tidbits but I wanted to hear from you. But before you go on I would like to say that from the report I received from Matt, your friends are quite entertaining.” Neil said to me and I blushed hard, already kno
Zina’s POV:“So the marriage rumors were true, congratulations to you sir and to you Zina. Now those gossip mongers will finally shut up in the coffee room!” Margaret said and I gave her a small smile. All through the whole trip I have not been able to say anything. Nerves were eating at me like no man’s business. But the first step was done with. I had entered the building and everyone was too stunned to say anything. Next step was the board meeting. Hopefully that went well as well.It went well, even my absorption into the finance department went without a hitch. I can safely say it was a good working day. But at closing hours, my husband dearest was still waist deep in work, someone messed up a deal and he has been trying to salvage the situation. With his phone on his ear and his free hand on his waist, the only sign I got that he knew I was around was a small nod in my direction. After an hour he was still on the phone and I was more than ready to take off my work clothes. Comi
Megan’s POV:I was seething, well that was not an unusual mood for me these days. And I have good reason, I just received an Intel report that Neil had made Zina the head of the finance department. Like seriously? Was he just handing out positions because she was dancing on his dick and wore his ring?Ughh!I sent a third message to Gabriel and I got the same response. He was on his way. I am very certain that he was with his brat and was finding it difficult to leave her be. Well he better come here with a well detailed plan on how to end Zina for good because I was fed up living on the same earth as she was.I picked up my phone and read the headlines again and I felt renewed rage well up in me. She even made the headlines, on more than five local newspapers and on one international newspaper. I put on my television and I saw Zina on the news walking hand in hand with Neil and entering the office. Even her outfit looked expensive.“On today’s celebrity gossip, news reaching us this
Megan’s POV:My phone rang after Gabriel had fallen asleep next to me. His phone had been ringing but he put it on silent saying he did not want to deal with the brat just yet. My caller was Jeffrey so I had to feign sleep.“Hello ma’am, I could not call you earlier. I just got off work. How are you feeling?” Jeffrey asked me, I heard a door closing behind him so I suspect he is either just entering his home or he is leaving for the sake of privacy, the man swears he is not married and I want to believe him. But that is not my concern.“I have a very difficult request to ask of you, but you are the only one I can trust to have it down. Can we meet up tomorrow?” I asked him, being sure to keep my voice vulnerable and he fell for it as usual.“Yes ma’am. I have the next two days, would you like to come to my place? I would kick out my roommate and we would have the apartment to ourselves for the duration of your stay.” Jeffrey suggested and I rolled my eyes, of course he was going to fi
Zina’s POV:“I swear he took me by surprise that day. I just never took him for one for public displays of affection, of course the gossip blogs took it up and praised him for not being ashamed to show the world that he loved his wife. I don't even know why we are making the headlines. There are other rich couples out there.” I said to Sandra who encouraged me to abuse my privilege as the boss’s wife and meet up before it was time for the lunch break.“Well not all couples consist of Neil Honduras. What about your mother-in-law? Has she shared any tips on how to survive the madness in the early days?” Sandra asked me and I smiled. My mother in-law was meeting us up for lunch, well me but I was not ready to dismiss Sandra.“Yes, she called me yesterday. I am supposed to meet her for lunch but you are staying because you too will soon be the wife of a CEO. Guess your dream of being a housewife is finally coming to be.” I said to her and she shamelessly raised her tea cup for a toast.“A
Zina’s POV:I was two weeks into resuming work and roughly two weeks to the end of my contract with Neil. I was getting depressed as the days went by, I do not know how my heart went and fell for a man that did not want it. And aside from some guarded conversations, we did not spend as much time as I would have wanted. He was immersed in so much work these days and I was left to my own devices.My table was cleared. I was waiting for the afternoon reports so I could work on those as well. On the bright side I was getting reviews from my team. They loved how I worked, how I was giving them short breaks in between. Of course I have asked them not to be too comfortable, rush months are around the corner.I relaxed into my seat and I suddenly felt horrible again. In a matter of weeks I was going to be kissing all of this goodbye. No more Mrs. Honduras, no more special treatments. No more Neil, which was the part that stung the most. I would no longer have the access I have to him right no
Zina’s POV:I was already heading out of the doorway but I was so focused on my phone, the girls were giving me reasons to regret not coming with them. They looked to be having so much fun, even the video of them attempting scrubber diving was so hilarious. I was about to scroll to the next video when I looked up and saw Neil’s car parked in front of the entrance instead of my designated car.What was going on?My question was going to be directed to the person that could answer it, I turned and saw Matt walking towards me. He looked uncomfortable.“Good morning Matt, where is my ride?” I asked him with a smile which he smirked in return to.“Boss went for a drive early in the morning. I think he got the day off or something, so he instructed that we ensure his princess got to work safely. And since he took your car I figured he would not mind you stepping in to work today in style.” Matt said and I rolled my eyes, ever since that picture of us surfaced on the internet he has not miss
Sandra’s POV:As soon as we arrived at the hospital, some men in suits immediately surrounded the vehicle and opened the door on Pascal’s side. Pascal turned to me, completely ignoring the madness that was the paparazzi. This was the first time I was experiencing them and this was crazy to say the least. From the ones receiving the news updates this was a favor, but to the families involved this was a major nuisance.“No matter what happens, do not let go of this hand and always follow where I tug you to. Do not answer any questions, do not say anything to them. And as much as possible keep your head down. Ready?” Pascal asked me and I nodded, I just wanted to get this show on the road.I nodded and he took my hand in a firm grip.He came down first, waited for me and took his own instructions. He did not say anything to any of them, he kept a firm grip on my hand and kept a steady pull until we got to the hospital entrance where they were banned from entering.“Where are they?” I hea
