Zena POV’sLater in the evening…After the hectic day with Justin’s mum and his fiance, she made do most of the work for his fiancé until she left. I decided to rest but I couldn’t. I’ve been having a serious stomach. I could feel the pain slowly building in my stomach, like a storm gathering on the horizon.The dull ache gradually turned into a sharp, burning sensation, making it hard to even breathe. I doubled over, clutching my abdomen, hoping the pain would go away. But it just kept getting worse. I began to sweat, my heart racing. I didn't know what was wrong, but I knew I needed help."Help!" I called out, my voice barely a whisper. I was so weak from the pain that I could barely speak. My eyes began to fill with tears, and I wondered if I was going to die. "Someone, please help me!" I begged, feeling desperate and afraid. I heard footsteps approaching, and I hoped that someone would come to my aid. But I couldn't help but wonder if it would be too late.The door opened and Mr
Zena POV's The silence in the car was thick and heavy, and it hung over me and Justin like a dark cloud. It was clear that something was wrong, but neither of them knew how to break the silence. As the car wound its way through the city streets, they both sat in their own thoughts, unable to find the words to express what they were feeling. Finally, I broke the silence. "Justin, can we talk?" I asked quietly.“Yeah, go on,” He replied."I know what Dr. Leonard said about my health but it isn't your responsibility," I began, my voice shaking a bit because I didn't want him to get angry. "But I don't want you to feel like you have to worry about me all the time. Like you said all this is just for your unborn child, so let's keep it that way, without you stressing about my health." I looked over at Justin, hoping that he would understand.“I know that you care about me, and I appreciate that. But I don't want you to feel burdened by my health issues." I added and he sighed.“You don'
Zena POV's At Night…I was in my room lust deeply in thoughts, my phone suddenly bleeped, signaling a text message. I pulled it out and saw that it was from Justin. I hesitated before opening it, knowing that it would probably just add to my frustration. Finally, I opened the message, my heart beating a little faster. The message read, "Can you please come over to my room? I know you're stressed out. I just want to talk,”My nerve kind of calmed down when he said he just wanted to talk, for a moment I thought it was about the sex stuff.I sighed as i looked down at the text message from Justin. It was clear that he wasn't going to let this go until we talked. And I knew that avoiding him would only make things worse.Reluctantly, I typed back, "Okay, I'll be right over." Then I slipped my phone back into my pocket and made my way to Justin's room. As she walked down to his room, I felt a knot in my stomach. I just wanted this whole thing to be over with.My steps were slow and heav
Zena POV's I woke up in fright, my heart pounding in my chest, I could feel the cold wetness of water on my face and neck, and I immediately sat up, disoriented and confused. I could hear someone moving around in my room, but I couldn't make out who it was. All I could see was a shadowy figure moving in the darkness. “Who's there?" I called out, my voice shaky and uncertain. The figure didn't respond, and myfear grew. Was I in danger? What was happening?Suddenly the lights flickered on, my eyes widened in surprise. Standing in front of me was Mrs. Daniella, Justin’s mum. She was holding a glass of water in one hand, and a damp cloth in the other. "Oh, my dear!" Mrs. Daniella exclaimed, rushing to my side."I'm so sorry for scaring you. I just wanted to make sure you were okay. You were so hot and feverish, I thought you might need some water." My fear quickly turned to relief, and I felt myself relax a bit. But I wondered why she had been so kind to me.“Thanks for helping me ou
Justin POV’sI paced back and forth in my office, my mind racing. I knew I was forgetting something, but I couldn't remember what it was. I looked around the room, searching for a clue. And then it hit me. I had forgotten my laptop charger at home. I quickly gathered up my things and rushed out of the office, heading for my car. I knew I had to get home and get my charger before it was too late, since I have other important matters to attend to.Few minutes later I rushed through the front door, my heart pounding in my chest. I could hear voices coming from the living room, and I immediately recognized one of them as Alicia’s. As I got closer, I heard her say something that made me furrow my brows.“You’re fired!!" She exclaimed. I rushed into the living room, my eyes wide opened, wondering what’s going on."What's going on?" I asked, my voice tensed.Alicia turned to look at me, her expression smug. "This maid is no no longer needed here," She said, her tone cold, and I wondered
Zena POV’sImmediately Alicia left, Mrs Daniella’s face was red with rage, and her eyes were filled with hate. "You ruined everything!" She hissed, advancing towards me. "It's all your fault, you stupid girl!" She yelled.I took a step back, fear coursing through my veins. "I didn't mean to," I stammered, my voice shaking. "I never meant to hurt anyone. Please, Mrs. Daniella, don't do anything rash." I pleaded she was beyond reason. She was consumed by anger, and nothing could stop her.Before Justin could intervene, he was too late, Mrs. Daniellla hand connected with my face, the slap echoing through the room. I stumbled back, my cheek stinging. Justin ran to me, I could feel his heart pounding. “Are you okay?" He asked, his voice filled with concern. I nodded, my hand pressed to my cheek. "I'm fine," I said, though my voice was trembling. "But I'm scared. Please, Justin, do something." I didn’t know when it came out as a whisper.Mrs Daniella advanced towards me again when Justi
Justin POV’sI was in the kitchen, making myself a cup of coffee and getting ready for work, I don’t like the coffee the maids usually makes for me, so I had to do it myself.I sighed as I drank the cup of coffe when Zena walked in. I could see that she was upset, and I immediately felt concerned. “Zena, what's wrong?" I asked, my voice full of concern. She hesitated for a moment, and then she started to cry. "I-I don't know what to do," she said, her voice breaking. "I'm so lost and confused."“You’re going to work now Justin, I’m scared that when you leave your mum would hurt me,” She said with her head face down.Her words sent a chill down my spine. I knew that she had been having a difficult time with my mother, but I had no idea that she was so scared. "Zena, I promise you, I won't let anything happen to you," I said, my voice calm and reassuring. "I'll talk to my mother, and I'll make sure she knows that she can't mistreat you. I won't let you be hurt." Zena looked at me, her
Justin POV’s"Zena !" I shouted, running down the hallways. But there was no sign of her. I turned a corner, and then another, feeling like I was losing my mind. I couldn't believe that she was gone, that she had just disappeared. I stopped for a moment, trying to catch my breath. I had to think, I had to figure out where she would have gone. But nothing came to mind. I was lost, and I didn't know what to do.I knew that Alicia was behind all of this, and I was furious with her. But I couldn't deal with that right now. I had to find Zena, I had to make sure she was okay. I started walking again, calling her name as I went. I checked every office , every hallway, every corner. But I still couldn't find her. I was beginning to panic, and I felt like I was going to lose my mind.I pulled out my phone and dialed the security team. "I need you to remove all of the posters," I said, my voice shaky. "They're causing a lot of problems, and they're upsetting a lot of people. Please, just take t
Justin’s POV“You mean she will be up in a couple of days?” I asked the doctor to make sure I heard him right.“Yes. The bullet pierced her upper arm and the wound was very deep but fortunately no vital organ was touched but when she fell, she hit her head so hard I think it resulted in serious concussion. The head injury is more the one keeping her unconscious than the actual bullet injury coupled with the fact that she lost a lot of blood. But I am sure she will be fine” He explained further, each of his words lifting the worry from my heart. At least I won’t live with the guilt that she was killed because of me.When the nurse told me they would be out soon from earlier, she actually was telling nothing but the truth because just a few minutes after I sat down, the door sprang open and the two doctors and three nurses that were in there trying to save her life all sprang out.When they first assured me that she would be fine I didn’t believe one but seeing as they all looked bloody
Justin’s POVI was going to her the best ring around here, the richest and from the most expensive store that was around here.This was the first time I would be proposing to someone so it had to be worth it, every moment of it. I had an usual feeling lingering around.What if she didn’t want to get married?We now had a baby we were expecting, she would want me this time around.I walked into the store as I was approached by a slim, modest woman.“How may I help you?” She asked with a bold smile on her face.“I would like to get a ring.” I said calmly.“Gold, Silver or Diamond?” She said heading into the store aas I followed her.“Your lost expensive Diamond ring would be okay.” I said plainly as she turned immediately to look at me.She scorched from head to toe before she continued.“Are you sure you want the most expensive one?” She asked again to be sure she heard what I said.“Yes, show it to me.” I Said plainly as she immediately led me to a various set of rings.I picked a sma
Justin’s POVMy mum looked around and she looked shocked to see the mysterious man too.I stared keenly at him and then at my mom as shock was evident in her look.Yet looking unbothered I motioned for him to sit down infront of me.I couldn’t take my eyes off him as my mum was seated right beside him.The man looked so much like me, that if he person hasn't met with me before, he would actually think that I and the man were related, that's how much we looked alike."Mom who is he?" I proceeded to ask my mother who he was, not only that Zena was not in the room, I could swear that I head her voice, but she was no where here, I shoved off that thought thinking Maybe that it was my imagination, I have probably missed her too much." Jason what are you doing here?" My mom asked in surprise and she stood up from her chair the moment she saw me standing there."I thought I told you not to leave the house?" She questioned, as He groaned I'm frustration, how long will this continue, they jus
Justin POV’s“Are you okay?” I asked Zena as she looked so tired. “I honestly don't know, I have been feeling excessively weak,” she complained. “You need a check-up, I will call the doctor,” I told her as I got up to call. A few hours later, the doctor was around as he checked Zena’s vitals. “Congratulations, with what I am seeing here. She must have taken in.” The doctor said with a smile. “Are you for real?!” I asked excitedly. “Here, take this kit. You know what to do,” he said as she handed two pregnancy kits to Zena. She walked anxiously away as I paced around the room. “Let it be positive!” I prayed silently. A few moments later, she was back with a sullen face. “I am sorry, we are expecting a baby!” She said as she jumped on me happily. I hugged her tightly before placing several kisses on her. “Congratulations, I think I should leave you two. But you need to visit the hospital.” He said before walking away. “Thank you so much baby, I promise I am going to take very goo
Zena POVJustin's hands hovered around my back as he zipped my dress. His hands lingered longer than usual as I rolled my eyes at him. “We might not end up making it to our dinner if you continue,” I said in a rasped voice as he placed kisses on my neck. Justin had asked me on a date and here we were, making out in our bedroom. He placed his lips on mine and we continued to kiss for a long time before we stopped to catch our breath.“Hmm,” I hummed as he kissed my ear lobe. His hands made their way to the hem of my dress as he raised it all to my thighs. His fingers brushed my pants as I held my stomach in pleasure. “Just fucking do it!” I muttered as he continued teasing me. His finger slipped into my vagina as he started with a finger. “Fuck!” I muttered as he kissed me. He added another finger and worked his magic before I finally cum. “Quickly get dressed, we still have dinner!” he said before licking the sticky content on his finger. I cleaned up before reapplying my makeup
Zena’s POVI had been feeling unusually fatigued and dizzy for several weeks, unable to shake off the persistent discomfort. At first, I dismissed it as stress from work and the daily demands of life, attributing my symptoms to the usual ups and downs that everyone experiences. But Justin, ever observant, had noticed the subtle change in my demeanor—the way I sometimes held my abdomen as if it pained me, and my reluctance to savor my favorite foods. His concern for my well-being had grown steadily, and he urged me to see a doctor. However, being the fiercely independent and stubborn person I was, I resisted his pleas, assuring him that it was nothing to worry about.Then, that one fateful morning, everything changed. I struggled to get out of bed, feeling an inexplicable heaviness in my chest, as if an invisible weight bore down on me. I managed to make my way to the kitchen, attempting to prepare breakfast, but the room began to spin, and a relentless wave of nausea washed over me. C
Zena’s POVWe were at Sean’s mansion and I was so excited that frugally everything would be back to normal.I was back with Justin, the company was now doing well and Ralph was not in prison and would spend a term of two years,At least that was enough time for us to get the peace we deserved after a lot of problems and obstacles in the way.“What would you like to drink?” She asked with a very broad smile on her face.It was true that people do change, she had changed so much just in the time span of a year. She became more affectionate and I never thought I would ever see this side of her.She was patient and for as long as I can remember, this past few weeks she had nothing but bright smiles plastered on her face.“Oh nothing, I’m okay.” I said calmly rejecting the offer.I wasn’t feeling thirsty or hungry ever since the turning exercise I and Justin had been endukging ourselves in for the past month.He always wanted a new part of me every single day and it became a normal thing t
RALPH’S POV“Mr sean, this business is no longer profitable. You need better to convince me in order to invest more!” one of the investors thundered angrily as they all agreed to him. “You have to understand me, I am going the best I could do!” I said angrily. These people were beginning to annoy me, what did they not understand. My business was currently facing crisis, in fact not only my business but my whole life. I was in severe crisis all because of that bastard, Zena! I couldn't wait to teach her a valuable lesson, I had promised myself that. I was still thinking of what to say when the door was suddenly opened. “Good afternoon everyone,” The cop said as he walked into the meeting room. Everyone looked at each other in fear, as several other police officer joined him. “My name is Officer Edward, from the police and would like to arrest Mr Ralph sean.” he said as he scanned the whole room. They all pointed at me as I quickly got on my feet. “Is there anything wrong?” I aske
Zena’s POVHe stared at me standing afar,“No.” It’s not true. I won’t do anything to hurt you.“What is not true? Did you ever care about me? Where I was? What I was up to? Did you ever care?” He yelled walking towards me.“No, Justin I did all I could, I would never do such to you and I want you to know that.” I said plainly.“Stop lying to me, what is all of this about? Why didn’t you tell me? Don’t I deserve to know?” He asked glaring towards his mom.“You need to calm down Justin, we won’t do anything to hurt you and you know that.”"Zena," Justin greeted as he reached me. He reached for my face and placed his hands gently on it.My body longed for his solemn touch which sent me shivering.I stared keenly into his eyes and I could see nothing but broadness evident in his eyes.It has been so long..His voice was deep and sonorous, and I realized how much I had missed hearing from him. "It's been such a long time." He was truly more handsome, as I had predicted. His hair was a l
