The Billionaire's Sweet Surrender Chapter thirteen.
I was glad that I was able to get rid of Gabriel. I was also glad we resolved that without any hitches. I was free, finally of his narcissism. Another pleasurable thing was that Megan stopped her impromptu visit at Neil Incorporated. The last time I saw her was at the diner when she approached me. Which was so weird. I pushed all those thoughts aside as I headed to the cemetery. It was a ritual to visit my mother's tombstone the first day of the month no matter where I was. I'd run down to watch her, and talk to her, and sometimes, I felt like she spoke back. I felt her presence. Mom smelt of wild flowers, so I didn't forget to carry some whenever I visited. It's been five years, but I never stopped visiting. I would never. I took an Uber down to the cemetery. I also had work to go to, so I tried to be early enough that I could talk to her and still meet up at the time. No matter how close I was close to Neil or how friendly he was with me, I never tried to take it for granted. One

Days I went to work pleased me. Weekends were so boring I'd wish Monday would be right after Friday. On weekends, I'd snuggle in a corner and binge a series on N*****x or think about the full work days. Neil was a huge part of my life. Monday came full-blown to me. I waited all weekend for it, so I was prepared. I rushed through my bacon and egg with a cup of tea. Boarding a taxi, I got to Neil's Incorporated and stared at it, noticing Neil's face splattered around the glass panes. The curves of "E" blended in with the "l". This was now my innocuous home. A place I couldn't get worried about anything. I walked in and passed by a buzz of Neil's workers. Till today, I had no clue of some people that worked in the same building with me. This place hosted about four hundred workers and I worked on the last floor, so there was a thin percentage that they'd even know me. I stepped into the elevator before it closed. Inside was a woman I'd never seen. She had a ponytail and a pleated sk

I cussed and dropped my phone hard on the table. My mind was in disarray and I just couldn't think. Zina just quit her job because of those videos. I had no clue who posted them, but if I got to find out, then they would be doomed. I'd bring them down. Margaret stood by me, also pacing. She walked to my door and scrutinized the back of it. "You're being bugged." "Obviously. Shit." I canceled all my appointments after Zina left my office. There was no point attending all those without a secretary. Without Zina. "Are you sure she'll ever come back? Even after we find the perpetrators."Margaret turned to me from the door. "You like her, don't you?" I turned away from her. "That wasn't the question." I also didn't know if I liked Zina. It was a battling thought. She turned back to the door, looking at the knob. "If she likes you, she'll always come back. I've seen it in her eyes." She plucked out something. "Damn it, you are being bugged." In her hands was a small, negligible camera

I snuck in further into my bed and cried some more. What happened back at Neil's office could never be taken away. It sank in my heart and laid there, arousing bit by bit, tearing me further apart. I avoided calling my friends. They didn't need to hear all my misfortunes. Things always didn't work out for me. I looked in the fridge to look for a bottle of soda. People lose appetite while eating, but while I cried, food was one thing that calmed me. Drinking soda or taking ice cream helped to send warmth to that cold area that seemed to thaw.I opened a bottle of Coke and gulped it down. It tasted bitter and sad. Like me. I wanted something hot, something that would help me forget all that had happened. I needed Whiskey. I opened my cabinet and dug out a bottle. I didn't need a glass so I opened it and drank from the bottle. Wiping my snort and running my hands through my hair, I'd never felt so depressed in my entire life. I heard knocks on my door and I quickly cleaned my face. I d

I stumped out of Neil's office in agony and pain. I was embarrassed at the rejection and pain he caused me in front of his pesky secretary, Margaret. I zoomed off in my Porsche car, crying my eyes out. Neil just broke up with me. Unbelievable. I picked my phone to text Mom that I was coming to her house, but my hands were so shaky that I dropped the phone. I couldn't believe that Neil threw me like a rag because his secretary that was without a class. Earlier today, I sat on the balcony in my house, sipping an apple juice with my laptop in my hands. I watched the office twenty-four seven, waiting for when they'd start having sex. And I saw the moment coming to pass when Zina walked into the office with a cheerful look. I waited and watched as she served Neil coffee, I also watched as the coffee burnt his hands, and when Zina ran helter-skelter to look for a band aid. I smiled. I placed my hands on my mouse, waiting to press the left button. It started with a slow, wet, sloppy kis

I could finally breathe. Keeping Megan to myself was I was holding myself down and I wouldn't think things through when I was with her. Would I say I was with Zina now? There was a lot of chemistry between us. She understood me quite well and I also did understand her. Life was easy with her, but I had to play my cards well. I wanted it all to be an affair, not something that would end up in an altar. Sometimes I wondered how life would be with Zina. I thought of my home flooded with kids that would run down to me and I'd lift them on my shoulders. I had thought of kids with Zina, children that would have her wonderful eyes and hair. I'd thought of waiting for her to walk down the aisle in an overflowing dress, smiling so hard at me. I'd wonder how life would be if I had children that I'd dress up for the first day at school and graduation. If I'd have girls that would have boys knocking on my door on the day of prom. I'd imagined life with children that would warm me when I'd be

I saw a woman coming out of Neil's office with a sad look. She saw me and stopped "hey! You are Zina?" I nodded my head. She looked at me from head to toe and stumbled out. I wondered who she was. "Could she be Megan's mother?" I walked to Neil's office to inform that I was about to leave. "Neil, I need to leave now, it's closing time." "You are free. I will call you later." I quickly left the office. On getting to my house, I met Gabriel. "What are you doing here?" "Zina, please I am sorry. I am here to beg you to forgive me and accept me back. I know I have wronged you." I asked myself if truly he was sorry or he was just saying it because he noticed I have moved on with my life. "Gabriel, you can actually see that I am just coming back from work. I need you to please leave the door, let me find my way inside and rest." "Zina, why are you this heartless? Remember how we forgave each other easily in the past. Why are you treating me like this and making things difficult?"

"How dare you?" I shouted in my voice and was very close to him like I wanted to hit him with my head. "So you are the billionaire that has been deceiving my girlfriend." "I beg your pardon! Who is your girlfriend?" I asked to be sure. "Zina of course." "Oh! You mean my wife to be or is there any other Zina you are talking about?" I purposely said to make a mockery of him. I could tell he was surprised by my statement. He never expected such a line to come out of my mouth. I am sure he was trying to gain his balance. "You are not ashamed of yourself that you left a good woman to some sort of sluts. People like you are not supposed to be in the category of men." If there was any weapon around, I am very sure he would use it on me. I wasn't mincing words and I meant everything I said. "You know why I pity Zina? Billionaires like you don't stay with one woman. Your type hardly thinks of getting settled in marriage. I am out to save her from heartbreak." I bursted out in lau

Zina’s POV:“You really know how to ruin a surprise.” I said dryly to Kathy who this time around screamed but opened the door widely for me to step in. Sandra was already on her feet when I stepped in. She had tears in her eyes.“Babe, if that make up isn’t waterproof don’t even think about it. I am here to walk you down that aisle to your happily ever after, think you can hold it all in till we are done?” I said to her and opened my arms to give her the hug we both needed. The tears now flow, I was grateful Neil forced me to come. I would not have traded this feeling for anything.We held on to each other until the other girls joined us in our hug. We saw some flashing lights and looked to see the wedding photographer.“I’m sorry, I could not help it. This was too precious to pass up. Wait, I just got an idea. We will do this outside, don’t worry we won’t mess anything up.” The photographer said in a rush but I was not paying any attention to her. I was fixated on my best friend who

Neil’s POV:The PI had to work with Matt and Ian and I did not care, I wanted answers which were pretty easy. The idiot’s name was Jeffrey. I of course remembered him but I could care less about him at the time, he was after Megan and she thought to use it to stir some jealous shit but it failed woefully because I never called him to order or ordered him away from Megan, it infuriated her to no end.So she ended up using him to get to one of the people I loved deeply. Yes, I was admitting that I loved my wife.They had tracked Jeffrey to the flimsy hideout he carved for himself, I say flimsy because it was not difficult to track him. Gabriel of course had skipped town but he was found eventually, and the lady of the hour was picked up from her apartment. She kept screaming that she never meant to hurt me, that Zina was the target. Like that was going to help?Anyway Zina had been by my side all through. My parents have moved to my place temporarily to help them commute to work easier.

Neil’s POV:I woke up feeling immensely tired, like I was run over by a truck. I blinked to try to recognize where I was. I was still in the hospital ward. I remember waking up earlier and I saw Zina who was running around, then some doctors came in.I sighed and turned to see a passed out Zina on the couch, how long she had been there was a mystery to me but I could tell that she had not been sleeping well, even the dim light could not hide the exhaustion from her face.She needed more sleep. Just then the door to the room opened and a nurse peeked in before trying to quietly step in, she did a good job of being quiet until she was next to my bed and saw that I was awake. She gasped but not loud enough to wake Zina.“Sir, you are awake. Let me call the doctor real quick.” She said to me and I nodded my head but I cast a significant look at her and thank goodness she understood and did not make any noise or wake Zina up. The doctor soon came in and after quietly examining me she told

Zina’s POV:Neil was supposed to wake up yesterday according to what the doctor said, but here he is, still lying there and not yet awake. I am really trying not to lose my head, this is becoming overwhelming as the hours pass by. I have seen too many movies and the worst case scenario kept playing in my head. What if he never woke up?What if they declared him brain dead?What if he became a vegetable?Did the last two not mean the same thing?Oh my gosh!I massaged my temple as I felt the beginning of a headache. “Please Neil, just wake up, please just wake up.” I said in my head and lifted my head to see that he was still in the same position. The door opened after a brief knock, a nurse stepped in with some towels.“Good morning ma’am, I am here to wash up Mr. Honduras. May I proceed?” the nurse asked me and I nodded my head. I stood up and stayed at a distance where I was sure that I would not interrupt her or block her movements and watched wipe him down with a towel, soap and

Zina’s POV:I followed the doctor with bated breaths, not really knowing what to expect but I was just glad that I was finally getting to see him. This was not my plan for the day, this was not my plan for any day. The meetings I was rushing out for seem so trivial right now. As we approached the door I felt the hand that I had been clutching unconsciously squeeze mine back. I looked up and saw my mother in-law give me a reassuring smile through the tears that filled her eyes. I nodded my head, bracing myself for this. The door opened and my eye zeroed in on the only bed in the room. The tears I thought were giving me a break came out, I could not control it. I didn't even want to, lying there looking pale with bandage wrapped around his body and wires hooked up to machines was my husband.There was a bandage wrapped around his head, his lip was burst at two places and it was a disturbing color of blue. From the amount of movies I had seen I was glad that the machines were beeping, m

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

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

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
The Billionaire's Sweet Surrender Chapter One-hundred and nineteen
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
