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 POV’sResuming in the same company where I had always been seemed different that morning as I made my way to my office. Somehow, something didn’t seem to add up but I ignored the funny feeling and walked into the office. Everyone was unusually calm and cold.As expected, my staff members greeted and I could tell they were shocked to see me in the office. I had not planned to leave the previous night as well. I just felt the need to show up again after taking so many days off for myself.I let out a sigh as I walked into my office and sank into my chair. Everywhere seemed so neat and calm yet I felt uneasy.The last night had been a roller coaster of events for me. While I had the chance and opportunity to make things work out well for me and Zena and tried to make her be comfortable at my house then, the sweet moment was interrupted by a knock.I was pretty upset that I had been disturbed but my anger doubled when I realized it was Alicia. Things had ended badly between us the
Justin POV’sI was disappointed and disgusted by the fact that things had begun to break up in my office. I picked up my laptop again and decided to check through but it got complicated with each step forward I tried to take.Apparently, it had been going on for days and I did not know about it?”My blood had begun to boil within rage and my whole body had begun to tremble. It was hard to see that all I had worked for and labored for over the years were getting washed down the drain as a result of incompetency of my staff or perhaps, hacking?I picked up my phone and placed a call to be secretary.“Send a message across to every official members of this office. I want everyone in the board room in twenty minutes time” I informed her and before she could get a chance to say a word, I ended the call. What on earth was going on with everyone and why were they trying so hard to ruin my hard work.I let out a sigh as I decided to think of what to do but each method I tried only made things
Zena POV’sI had no idea what had happened but the moment Justin saw Alicia that night, he hurriedly pushed her away and avoided her coming into his house. The moment I had seen her initially, I was gripped with fear at first as I thought I was going to leave his house since she was there.I was threatened by her presence and although I wasn’t happy about the fact that they had broken up for whatever reasons, I was glad she had not come in to send me away. I was glad I still had a place to spend the night.He returned upset. I couldn’t bring myself to ask him what the matter was as he was pretty upset and didn’t seem like he was ready to utter a word to me. I let out a sigh and made dinner for us both. He stayed in his room for the major part of the day and only came out to have dinner.He didn’t utter a word to me as he had the dinner, coldly. It wasn’t in my place to ask him what had gone wrong so I kept mute. I stared at him occasionally and he continually had the frown etched to h
Zena POV’sI was quiet as I tried to figure out what to say to mum. She stared at me too, expecting a response and I simply chuckled dramatically.“Come on, mum, You are just over thinking things” I smiled and stood up. “There is nothing going on between us. I do not have any feeling whatsoever for him so get the thoughts out of your mind,” I said. She was quiet as she stared at me.However I was not interested in whatever she had to say. Justin was just the father of my child and not what she had thought.“What is your plan?” She questioned as I proceeded to the kitchen to make something to eat for her as well as myself. I had woken up quite early to leave hence I had not made anything for myself to eat.Justin had urged me to eat but I refused because I was so much in a rush to see my mother. If I could recall vividly, Justin seemed to be very worried as he stared at me then. Something was bothering him but he didn’t want to open up to me. The thoughts however refused to leave my
Zena POV’sI was taken aback by mum’s disdainful words to me. How could she say that to me? What kind of person does she really think I am? I was even more disappointed that it was coming from her and not a stranger. If my mum could still have such thoughts, definitely, it would be foolish of me to be upset at any stranger who had the same thoughts.“How can you, mum? How can you say that?” I questioned, anger visible on my face. “You doubt the paternity of my child? You still do not believe he is the father of my child?” I questioned.“No one said that” She responded nonchalantly. “I was just considering the possibilities. You should not take it to heart” She answered. “I am not doubting you. I am just saying there is a possibility” She added.I stared at her in disbelief, my eyes widened in shock. Of course, there were lots of things I wanted to say to her but I decided to let it be. She wasn’t worth having an argument with, hence I decided to let her be.I picked up my phone and he
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
