Zena POV’sOne year later.It has been a year already but I just couldn’t get Justin off my mind, even though Zena has already left him, I still didn’t stand a chance in his life. But this time around I had other plans.With all the information I gathered, there was going to be in a conference meeting today which means the board members won’t certainly have time.That was my opportunity to get what I wanted once and for all.I needed an excuse to leave the counter and get to his office so I would be able to do the transfer successfully. I planned to get it all sorted today so I can move on to the next phase of my plan.I walked on to my bag and placed my flash drive into my apron pocket.A voice behind me startled me as I jumped in fear, turning to see who it was.“One cup of coffee please.” A man said gently, staring directly at me.“Coming Right up.” I replied gently sorting my nerves which where already intrigued.I poured in an iced coffee as I looked around gently before trying to
Zena POVI was back home still contemplating if I wanted to go through the information I found it not. It’s been two months already and I missed Justin like hell.Admist my thoughts, my phone buzzed from a unknown caller, wondering who it was I picked the call."Hello?" I said calmly as soon as the call started."Hello, am I speaking to Miss Zena?” A familiar tone asked from over the phone.I recognized the voice but I wasn't able to recognize where I heard it from."Yes, I am. Who is this?" I inquired keenly."It's me, Justin's secetary Gabby, Do you still remember me?" She asked hopefully.I recognized her voice at once and hearing someone call his name after so long made me feel tingly inside.It has been a very long time since I shut him out of my life and I only managed to get his name out of my head.Hearing his name made me realize how deeply I missed him and what we shared."Yes, I do. Is there any problems? And how did you get my number?" I inquired wondering how she got my n
Zena’s POVI sent the necessary details over to Gabby as soon as possible because I was eager to know what was happening to Justin.I had been praying that nothing serious had happened to him because I would never be able to forgive myself if so.We agreed to meet at a restaurant around the corner so we can finally talk about the issue and she can tell me more about Ralph. I had some doubts about his step father wishing him had.He was married to Mrs Sean so there’s another way he would want to ruin her for no reason. Whoever was behind it I was going to make sure I found out the truth.I walked into the restaurant and I saw a familiar figure wave over at me as I walked towards her. She looked a little bit pale than before. She used to be so energetic and full of energy before.I guessed she changed so much the time span of one year already.“I was thinking you won’t make it again.” She said with a broad smile as I smiled and sat down.“Of course I would, why would I bail out on you.?
Chapter Zena’s POV I headed back home and stormed into my house, shutting the door hard behind me.I paced around the room angrily because I was furious at Mrs. Daniella for not telling me something as crucial as this. How could she conceivably forget that?How can she possibly forget to tell me that Justin has been in a coma for a while for two weeks? Like I didn’t even deserve to know?***Flashback***I heard a knock on the door cutting in what I was doing. I wondered who it was because as long as I knew, I wasn’t expecting anyone to come see me.It’s been six months since I left Justin and no one has ever visited me, I never expected any mails or anything. It was just me and no one else.Which was why I was so shocked when I heard a knock on my door.After much reticence, I walked to the door and bent the door knob. I was beyond stunned to see Mrs. Daniella standing there.A mixture of outrage and irritation rushed through me as I toiled not to slam the door in her face. “What a
Zena’s POVShe stood up in fear of what I might do out of wrath.“Arrrghhh.” I yelled out in frustration.“I know how upset you are and I don’t blame you for it but only you can help Justin out with this.” She said trying to reach for my shoulder but I pushed her hands off immediately.“Don’t you try to act so manipulative with me. You know the only reason I would want to talk to you is because of Justin so you want to use that against me. Your son has been dead to me all these while.” I fibbed plainly with my countenance as profound as ever.“I know you don’t mean that, I know how much you love Justin and no one can deny that fact.” She muttered.I paused for a while as I struggled to keep my emotions under control. It has been so long and I have been waiting to vent this out on her.“What exactly do you want?” I asked, finally evolving calm. “The company has been sold.” She finally said as the whole space fell into stillness.I searched into her eyes to be sure she was saying the p
Zena’s POV*Back to the present *My questions couldn’t be left unanswered. I needed to know why she came to me and lied to me about something as big as this.How could she not tell me Justin was in a coma? Shs lied he was out of the county. He was the reason I agreed to any of this in the first place and he was in such a position.A thought flashed through my mind to check what was on the flash. What could be so important?I wanted answers about Justin. I felt it could wait, so I opened a drawer and locked it in.I knew I shouldn’t have trusted her in the first place , if she didn’t have a hidden motive she wouldn’t have hid something like this from me.I picked up my phone and headed Straight to Sean's house. I had a lot of questions and I wanted answers from her. I wasn’t going to be on her side if she would do nothing but lie to me.**I arrived at the building and stormed round in.“Mrs Daniella!” I yelled as soon as I got on. I got infuriated and irritated at her Lies. I though
Mrs Daniella’s POVI walked around my room, different through running through my mind. At this point my mind was unsettled. I was over rethinking everything and Justin made me weaker.I should've left him for who he wanted and none of this would have happened. If only I knew how much Zena’s disappearance would affect me, I wouldn’t have meddled at all.Justin finally woke up for a week ago and I didn’t tell Zena yet because I wanted to be sure of something. At this point I didn’t know who was who, I didn’t know who was for or against .Everyone seemed to be against me and I claimed them to be a suspect to me, and that was why I made the circle smaller. At this light I could only trust Zena fully.My mind became a little bit calm once I found that Justin was doing well but I wanted to keep that news to myself for a while.I moved him from a hospital to one of my other houses and then employed doctors and nurses for his care. I didn’t want anything bad to happen to my son and I was goi
Zena’s POVI sauntered into the large space and I looked around to see who was seated when my eyes finally caught with Mrs Daniella. I looked to the right and I saw Gabby seated as she smiled over at me as soon as she saw me.I smiled back; and my face immediately turned plain again.Then I looked ahead at Mrs Daniella, her expression looked rather sour than welcoming to me. She signaled for me to sit down at the open seat beside her.I walked gently as the whole eyes were on me as I asked calmly and sat down. I raised my head and looked over at the whine council who seemed to be in charge of the company.I had never attended such meetings before because Justin never wanted me stressing myself or the baby. He would always tell me to leave the hard work for him to handle.But here I was.“Now that she’s here, we may begin immediately . I would start by introducing the person seated. This is Zena, Justin’s fiancé.” She said and the whole set of eyes turned to me in affirmation.They al
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
