"Just what are these, Zach?" Jennie asked calmly as she threw the pictures against her son immediately after he came back from the trip. Her husband was sitting with his legs crossed and so was Delilah. She was a little bit worried about the turn that this could take.Zach who was just about to greet his parents stopped suddenly after the pictures were thrown to his face. He was in blatant shock as he stared at his mother but he was bold enough not to show it. He looked down at the pictures and picked two of them.His eyelashes flickered when he saw them and his throat dried up instantly. These were the pictures that were taken a few days ago when they were in the park. The pictures were taken clearly to show that they weren't edited but real. "What do you have to say to this?" She asked him. "Mum..." "Hold on, I don't want excuses so go straight to your point and let me know what the hell is going on with you." Jennie stopped him. "What's your relationship with this wom
Blake sat on the sofa that was placed in a corner of Zach's room. His sleeves were rolled up and he was staring hard at the below surface, trying to think of possible ways to get out of this situation. At this point, it felt as if all the bragging and plans that they had about this relationship at the beginning had to come to an end now because the situation was real and not just imagination. "What do you plan on doing now? Avoiding her?" He asked him. Zach frowned. "Why will I avoid the woman that I love? It doesn't work that way. I was already aware that this was going to happen. The only thing that I am frustrated with is that I don't want her to be aware of this at all. If my mum can reach out to her and talk to her then it becomes over. She might decide to end the relationship when things are just getting better for both of us. That is something Hera can do." "But you can't hide this away from her forever. Sooner or later, she is going to know about this and when she doe
"Will you like some tea?" Alex asked after they had run into his apartment. Selena didn't feel much of the coldness and just seated as calmly as she could while watching his moves carefully. Not that he would rape her but she just needed to be careful. That was the issue. "Yes, thank you." Alex brought the ingredients to the sitting room and made her a cup of tea right in her presence. Selena felt embarrassed that she had been caught in such a manner but pretended not to mind. "Here is yours." He pushed the cup towards her and she eventually reached out to pick it up. The tea was a bit hot so she blew air to lessen the temperature before taking a sip from it. "You don't have to behave so securely. I am not going to kill you, am I?" "You do know the problem that we are both going to face when the news of the two of us being together leaked out," Selena mentioned and Alex sighed frustratedly. He rubbed his face and groaned. "Why?" "Why what?" "Why can't we just live our lives w
The family of Albert Young was at the dining table excluding Ben because he excused himself to visit someone important. So, on the table was no other than Zach, his parents, and Delilah. The air was thickened and one could hardly say anything at all.Zach was toying with the food that was in front of him. He had no appetite but out of respect, he had to force himself to come downstairs just to eat. His face was as hard as steel and he had no interest in whatever his parents might have to say that could go against his will. "Have something to eat," Jennie said as he put some meat on Zach's plate. "You haven't been eating at home for a while," Jennie added.That was true. Zach hardly came home. No one knew where he could be at any time and to make it worse, everyone had an idea of where he could be but not the location of the exact place. "Thank you." "I believe with the time that you have given yourself to depart from us, you must have settled the whole thing and broken up with th
Hera was preparing to sleep that night because she was so exhausted. She had spent the day outside the office, trying to meet with some business agents regarding their tastes and what they considered the uniqueness of her work. Austin had insisted on spending the night with Anna because his godmother had promised him a lot of goodies if he came over to spend the night with her. Hera felt that Anna had been asking too much of Austin's presence than usual but she didn't say much about it and just let it be. Austin was always under Anna's safe care and that was enough for her.Just as she sat on her bed and crossed her legs, her doorbell dinged, grabbing her attention immediately. She looked at the time. It was past nine already so who was it? It couldn't have been Anna; the latter would have called before coming and it couldn't have been her boyfriend because she was sure that he was going to be at home rather than walking all around.She stood up nevertheless to answer the door. On
Hera's phone was ringing loudly right beside her but she was just too tired to reach out to it. At first, she dreamt of herself dancing to the tune but when it started ringing continuously, she opened her eyes forcefully and answered the call. "Girl, where are you?" Anna yelled at her. "Why are you yelling? I am still at home. It's still five in the morning." Hera mumbled while checking the time. "Girl, haven't you seen the news yet?"Hera dipped her finger into her nostrils to remove the dirt that was there before grabbing her pillow. She put the phone on the loudspeaker and then placed it on her bed so she would be able to sleep. "What news is that?" "Your secret relationship is out!" Anna announced. "My secret relationship? What secret relationship is that?" She still was feeling dizzy. Anna silently cursed her friend's nonchalant attitude. "The internet is filled with the news and pictures that support your dating President Zach, our boss." When Hera heard th
"Have you heard the news yet?" Blake asked after barging into Zach's office. He was surprised to see Delilah in the office again but that was not the main reason he was here in the first place. "News? What news?" Zach asked and quickly turned on the television, tuning in to the current channel that Blake informed him about. Zach was shocked to see his parents immediately there, he knew that things were likely to go wrong this time around. "Please, ma'am, what do you have to say about this rumor going around? Is Mr. Zach really in a relationship with his assistant? We have been trying to get a hold of both of them but we can't reach them." One of the paparazzi asked. The bodyguards pushed them backward and warned them to respect their space. Jennie cleared her throat to speak. "Just like you have known and said it, it's nothing but a baseless rumor and everything that you saw on social media is nothing but fake. They were edited pictures. I trained my kids well enough. We are one
Delilah was definitely enjoying the attention that was now laid on her as she sat down with her brother to enjoy the view of the environment. A bottle of champagne was served in front of them with two glasses then some chopped fruits and fried chicken was placed beside them to enjoy with their meal. "It's been a while since we came out here." Delilah started speaking. Gabriel picked up the bottle of champagne and opened it slowly as he allowed the gas to release itself before pouring the content into their different cups. He smiled as he looked beyond the horizon. "I agree though." "Yeah, thank you." She said as she collected the glass of champagne and sipped it. "I heard Mrs. Young announce that you will become her daughter-in-law." He glanced at her. "I was surprised too when I heard it but I think she might have said that because she wanted to calm the ongoing rumors about her son." Gabriel relaxed on the chair and removed his sunglasses. "Really? That doesn't
