36 It’s been two days since Zayn brought me home, and I was trying my best to move on. I literally ate as many cookies as I wanted, and tried to bake. Though, when I had almost burnt down my home, father had restricted me from entering the kitchen. I had no choice but to beg the chef to bake some for me. “Jean, come and say hello to Zayn,” Mother called behind me. I pursed my cookie consumption in shock. Zayn was here. Why? I looked at my mother who was standing regally at my room’s door in shock. I hope he hadn’t changed his mind about telling my parents the truth about that night. It would surely make my life hell. “Mom, did he say why he is here?” I queried. My mom shook her head at me. “Oh, you’re shy to meet your fiancé," she teased. I jumped out of the bed. “No, that’s not it. I’m just a bit shocked that’s all.” Mother smiled at me. “I understand that. But, apparently he has something to discuss with your dad. I don’t know the details, and well, it’s not our busine
I turned to see Zayn at the door way, looking at me with his poker face on. Damn! Did he hear all I had said behind his back? I watched him as he pushed himself from the doorway, and stepped into the room. “Those curses were they for me, doll?” He asked softly. I blinked twice. Doll? He thought it was such a joke. I couldn’t even look at him because I was so scared. And, he literally thought it was so funny. I couldn’t really believe this. It was so crazy hearing him sat such things. It didn’t sound like something he would normally say. “Why do you look so shocked?” “I’m not,” I huffed. He stood in from of me, with a smirk outlining his face. “I will have to believe you. How am I the one who takes such a scolding from you? I must say it was so scary. I never had an idea you were so fierce.” He said slowly. I looked at him. “There are so many things you don’t know about me,” I said easily. He smirked. “That’s so true.” He pulled my face in his hands, and slowly swiped
That night, I sat down on the top of my deck with Jean’s book in my hands. I caressed the top of the book slightly. Jean had touched it. I knew it must mean a lot to her, because the way she had touched looked through the window had revealed it all. He slowly took a puff of smoke in his lungs. I would like to know what was so special about this. I would really like to know. It would make me feel better to know how Jean at least through the pages of her book. I slowly turned the pages of the book, and settled on the middle. I smoked as I read through the words of the book. Imagining her reading it with her legs coiled under the bed was not enough to make me continue the book. It was so boring. I pushed my hair away from my eyes, and looked at the wind. I could see her frowning at me she told me to leave her room. She must be cursing me now. Well, I shouldn’t have taken her book that way, but Zayn Usman never asks for permission. It was in my nature to take, and not ask for pe

I stepped out of the veranda, and headed straight to my room, with my EarPods stuck in my ears. I was listening to hiphop on blast, and it made me feel so good. I twirled around on my toes, and danced slightly. This was how I was going to live my life to the fullest. The music made me feel on top of the moon, and I enjoyed it deeply. This was really so good. I was enjoying this music so much! I screamed the lyrics over the top of my voice. Life! You only live once! I’m going to live my life as I came. It was going to be fierce, and I would be my authentic self. I can’t wait to have so much fun living my life the way I saw it. I was going to live my life to the fullest! I danced some more, and danced like my life depended on it. It felt so good to forget it all, and live for the moment. I was going to enjoy every step of the way. Suddenly, my EarPods were jerked from my ears. I turned around, and looked at Zayn looking at me with a smirk adorning his features. Now, what was
I stood at the front of Jean’s door long after she had gone in. She may be young, but her fist was fierce. I rubbed my chin slowly trying to bring down the rage I felt. No-one has ever done this since I solidified my spot as one of the toughest mafia that ever graced the earth. Yes, I was ruthless, and was feared by all. But, this girl had done so. I took a deep breath. Normally, I shouldn’t have let her go so easily. I could have dealt with her so severely, but that thought was soon out of my mind. “Jean, you’re worth being my wife,” I said suddenly. She didn’t fear me, and that was good. I was going to humble her though, but it would be so nice to see her in her element. She was the first woman that had been bold enough to do that. I smile dubiously. “Oh, Jean, you will be coming home soon.” ≠ My thoughts were slowly spiralling out of control. I didn’t know what to do to put it in check. I was going crazy with worry. What should I do now? I had no idea at all. Th
I sat back down on the bed after faking a smile for my father. My thoughts were going one mile per hour. The insane thinking that I’ve been doing was starting to get to me. What had Zayn told my father? That question was driving me have crazy, and I didn’t know what to do to make it easier for me. I just sat there, and tried had not to think too much on what was going on. It won’t help me at all. A knock. “Who is there?” “Don’t ask stupid questions,” father snapped at the other side of the door. I gasped as I shot out of the bed. I quickly unbolted the door. Father stood at the other side of the door. I looked coyly at his eyes, and noted that his hands were free of the ruler. He was here to hit me like he used to do. I sighed in relief, and stepped away for him to enter. Father looked at my room with a frown on his lips. “You have to change this lazy habit you have of not tidying up after you. You’re going to get married soon.” “What?” He turned to me, and I
Eva was right here. I had no idea what she wanted after all these time. She was a scar to my heart, and I hated everything that she signified. She was just a bedbug in my life. She was in front of my car door before I could step down. I pulled open my car door, and stepped out of the ride. Eva was suddenly on me, hugging and kissing every part of my face. I slowly pulled her away from me. She pouted. I inwardly groaned, that I have to bear with all of these. It was so annoying. These women didn’t seem to get enough of making my life hell these days. “What do you want, Eva?” I grumbled. “Don’t you miss me, Zayn?” She cooed. I gave her a look. “You did, right?” She said softly. She simply never get the memo, or she was just a first class actress at acting daft. She was so annoying, and completely self-entered. I didn’t care what anyone had to say, but I was so sick of her nonsense, and the way she did most things. I just couldn’t stand her. “You will do yourself some
