Zena POV’sI arched my brows as I wondered what he was about to say. I was quite skeptical about listening to hear he had to say. Of course, he had been so nice to me but his mother was a pain in the add and even though I tried to endure it continually, I knew it was not something I could keep up with forever.He was quiet for a while and stared at me.“You can just get me a room if you want. You do not have to do stay with me if that is what you are worried about” I informed him and tried to free myself from him but he held me back and was not willing to let me go.“No…no. I am not worried about that. I have something else going on in my mind. I am…. You do not need to think about it” He answered and let out a sigh before pulling me into the car. I was a little skeptical at first as I did not know what to do but I knew he would not entertain anything from me so I walked with him to the car.I let out a sigh as I got into the car. There were a thousand thoughts crossing my mind all at
Justin POV’sZena looked a little worried as she stared at me and it made me wondering if something had gone wrong. Even though I tried to act like everything was normal, I could not help but state back at her as she stared at me.“Is something wrong? You looked worried” I questioned her. She looked at me as though I was losing my mind. She had been lost in thought and I tapped her almost immediately.“Uhn? Did you say something?” She questioned. What on earth was she saying? Why was she looking so weird?“You look very worried. Is something wrong? Is it still about my mum? Like I really wanted to….”“Shh” She placed her finger to my lips. “That is not it. Nothing is wrong. Nothing is wrong with you. You have to be calm” she said with a smile.“I was just surprised at the fact that you care about me so much to put me here” I replied.I did not know what exactly to believe. It might not be the truth but there was nothing I could do. I was quiet as I stared at her. Despite being shirtl
Zena POV’sI had a very difficult time sleeping with Justin on the same bed but I did not want to insinuate anything.So as soon as he got into the bathroom, I forced myself to bed even though I didn’t fall asleep in time.It was so hard not to move the moment he placed a kiss on my forehead but I managed to stay still. There were so many thoughts going through my mind that minute but I managed to stay still until he put out the light and I was assured that he had fallen back asleep.A sigh escaped my lips as I suddenly began to feel guilty. Guilty for making the young man go through so much because of me. Now, he had to fight with his mum and even his job was at stake all because of me. I wished that day had never happened. We definitely would not have been in the mess we were.I stood up and headed to the bathroom as I felt the strong urge to pee but I decided to stay in there more. I didn’t want to wake Justin . He had already done so much for me and the worst thing I wanted to do
Zena POV’sI was immediately cut short by Justin’s sudden action as he placed his lips on mine. My eyes widened in shock as he tried to push his tongue into my mouth. Although I knew it wasn’t the right thing, I granted him access and closed my hands before wrapping my hands around his neck and rubbing his hair.Unfortunately, the kiss ended too quickly. Somehow, the kiss made me feel a little better.“I am very sorry for that. I just…..” He spoke and looked into my eyes before kissing me again. Again, he detached himself from me.“This shouldn’t be happening” He turned his back to me and I was surprised. What wasn’t supposed to be happening? Was he angry with himself for kissing me? He dug his hands into his hair. My hormones had began to rage but I tried so hard to keep it under control. Seeing his shirtless and bare back did not make it so easy for me to control.Had he suddenly become irritated to kiss me? Was I that bad? Of course, I was nothing like his ex-girlfriend. I wasn’t
Zena pOV’sMy whole world seemed to crash right before my eyes. I stood there in disbelief as I tried to convince myself that it wasn’t me or perhaps, I had heard him wrong but deep within, I knew it was me. I shook my head and decided to give it the benefit of the doubt so I let out a sigh and pretended like nothing was going on as I stepped out of the bathroom and to the room.“I placed a call to a friend a couple of minutes ago. He would be getting you an apartment to stay for the main time” He responded and like a puppet, I nodded. That was it. He had really said that. Had I done something wrong for him to want to get rid of me? I just could not understand why he was acting that way.At first, I wanted to go into the bathroom to get dressed but on a second thought, I realized it was pointless. He had seen me in the state of nature, not once but twice so there was nothing to hide. As soon as I was about to take off the towel, he stepped out of the room. I was even more confused
Zena POV’sI was shocked. Shocked at the information that I just got. I was in a state of unrest. I didn’t know what to do that very minute. Where was I going to get help from?I tried to run out almost immediately but he was quick to hold me as I was distraught. I wasn’t in the proper state of mind.“Are you okay? What is the problem? Talk to me” He questioned. I wanted to break free from his grip as I was upset but at that point, he was the only one that could help me. I had no help whatsoever.“*My mum… my mother” I broke down in tears.“Talk to me. Tell me what it is. What happened to her?” He questioned.“My mother suddenly collapsed according to what I had just been told. She is at St. Kate's hospital” I informed him.“I am sorry about that” He replied with a worried expression.“I do not want your apology! Let me go!” I yelled trying to free myself from him.I knew this wasn't his fault, but he was the cause of my negligence towards my mum. Since I got pregnant with him. My lif
Zena POV’sI least expected what he had to say to my mum, but he, on the other hand, had a smile etched on his face as he stared at my mum.She gave me a a slight smile, and then at him.“Alright then” She smiled. “We will take your car” Mum answered.“No, we won’t” I raised my brows. What was Mum saying? We were definitely not going to get into his car. “We will be fine without you. We can find our way” I responded and tried to pull Mum away but she pulled herself back, a wide smile etched on her face. She seemed to have so much trust in him.“Come in in. Do not try to act so rude. Let’s go in” She tucked at me. I rolled my eyes as I was upset at the fact that Mum trusted him.I hated the fact that we had to get into his car once again. I let out a sigh and got into the car.Mum sat at the front and I on the other hand sat at the backseat. She seemed to like him as they continued to converse. They had different things to say and I was pretty upset. I hated the fact that he had the
Zena POV’sThe moment the door opened , I was a little shocked to see Justin, as I did not expect to see him at the door was he there.Was he waiting for me or what? I guess I shouldn’t conclude too fast. Besides he shouldn’t be in my own room since he has his.Literally this house belongs to him. But this is my room.To crown it all, I was embarrassed to look at him, but I summoned courage and I did.He arched his brows as he stared at me, a wide grin spread on his face as it looked like he was waiting for me.“I’m just here to pack my things and leave” I informed him and tried to look away from him. I was really trying my best to buckled up my feelings for him.He moved away from the door and walked in. I let out a sigh as I headed to the room that was allocated to me and began to pack up my things hastily.“Do you really want to leave?” He questioned. At first, I ignored him as I did not want to utter any words to him.“Does your silence means no?” He questioned and crossed his han
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
