CHAPTER 48 ZAYN I stepped out of the mansion with my .47 revolver sitting at the back of my pocket. One of my guards had been missing, but I really didn’t care about it. Though, my head guard was notable worried. It was left for him to handle that part of him. I walked into my jeep with the guard trailing behind me. I needed to get to the florist shop today. For some reason, I’ve been soft towards Jean. I wanted to please her. After thinking so hard about her reaction to me, I realised that being hard would not get her to care for me. On the contrary, it would push her from me. That will only make our marriage fake and stressful. The best way to handle it was loving her how she was without thinking of spitting her in anyway or form. I would have to go through the traditional way. The driver drove into the park in full speed. He parked, and one my guards opened the door for me to step down. I did, and was immediately flanked by the guards. I moved fast and breezy ma
Chapter 49 I watched as she happily took the money from me. I turned back to her mother, who looked like she was a deer stuck in headlights. “Get me a good cherry flower. Something a woman would like randomly,” I said calmly. She hurried over indoors. One of my guards took the ice cream out of my shoes, and cleaned it with my expensive Rolex tissues. I looked around, and noted that the costumers were staring at me in surprise, It was almost as if they couldn’t believe I had let the girl go. Within minutes, I was given the flowers, and I paid using my credit card. The florist told me she would give me a discount, but I refused. I walked into the car, and caressed the flowers. I hoped Jean liked it. I wasn’t sure about so many things. I was worried about so many things, and it hurt me when things didn’t go my way. I wished it did sometimes, so that things would be better. I was stressed about all these, and much more. For my time as being a mafia boss, I had never imagined
It’s been three days, and I have been thinking about Zayn. It was so wrong of me to diss him like I did. He had actually done nothing wrong, and that made me so upset. I stared at the flower in my vase with a sigh. How could this happen to me now? I don’t know how I’m literally going so crazy thinking about Zayn, but I think I have to clarify things with him. It would be the best thing to do for peace to reign. How was I going to do that though? I looked at the time and noted it was 11 am. I still had time. I could go over to Zayn’s place to apologise. Though, I didn’t like it, but it seemed that it was the right thing to do in this situation. I have to make sure that all was well. I have no reason why I was so obsessed with that, but it was important that I made sure it happens. I dragged my feet out of bed, and then moved over to the wardrobe, where I got a green gown that stopped on my thighs. It should be appropriate and not make anyone think that there was anythin
Peter drove me to the Begum restaurant. He walked ahead of me, but kept turning to see if I was still with him as we went into the restaurant. This was one of the most popular restaurants in the states, but still, I was uncomfortable. I still felt so off. I had no idea if I was doing the right thing by joining Peter on this lunch. I didn’t want any more drama. All he had done earlier was still fresh on my mind, and I couldn’t just ignore it. “Let’s get a table,” he was saying as he led me into the restaurant. The ambience spoke of money. Though, I didn’t understand how Peter would have so much to squander on lunch. Though, I realised it was part of it. He had to impress the mafia’s daughter, but all I felt for him was utter disgust. He wanted to bring out the chair, so I could sit down, but I cornered him by siting on another seat. He sighed as he sat down. After perusing the menu, I decided to order chicken sandwich and cold coffee. While waiting for the waiter to get ou
The car was filled with smoke and there was an hissing sound from the air bag covering both our faces. We pushed it away and got out of the car before the unforseen could happen as we couldn't tell if the gas was leaking somewhere . Zayn didn't speak for a moment ,I guess he was still shocked as much as I was from the whole near death experience. I could see a small cut in his forehead as I tasted blood myself , I must have gotten a cut on the lips thought to myself. "Are you fine ?" Zayn asked finally. I couldn't break my voice to reply him so I just nodded that I was as I stared at the sorry state of the now condemned vehicle. " I can't believe I almost went to hell" he continued smiling. I guess he saw the dismayed look on my face that I wasn't buying any of the jokes he was trying to sell cause the smile disappeared faster than it came when I shot him a glance in disapproval. "Or was he scared of me ?" I thought to myself smiling. Zayn stared at the c
I briefed my father on everything that had happened and the little accident we had ,he spoke to me softly and asked that I handed the phone over to Zayn for further instructions. He spoke for a few minutes before the phone went off again with a flat battery . "He promised to send someone " Zayn mummered. "I told him where we were heading before the accident " Zayn continued before dropping the phone . He checked the power bank we had been using and saw it was also long drained . "I guess we have to wait and hope ,they guess our direction right " I commented. "So where did we stop " Zayn asked as he crawled back to where I was at the back of the car. " You were telling me about yourself" I replied hoping he would continue. "Oh, that !" Zayn exclaimed. "Well " he sighs . "That is the story of my life " "A story ..." He paused "A story I don't share to just anyone." "Well you shared it with me " I whispered in
Over the next few days I felt very much angry at myself, angry about the fact I had acted like a whore in the car to his every touch and though most times I pretended to hate everything that happened the night of the accident I didn't regret it at all. I knew Zayn was so much aware of how I felt , I knew men of his type thought of woman as an object and I wasn't going to give him the benefit of that doubt. I wouldn't let him use me as he might had used others only to dump them later. Zayn was almost everywhere in the house this days making avoiding him so much difficult , I knew I staying in my room wouldn't stop the son of a bitch as he had proved severally he had no respect for privacy . He walked around my house as if he owned it and trespassing my door step wouldn't be any issue for him at all not with my father smiling stupidly at whatever he said like Zayn's little puppy. I hated Zayn so much and that was a lie I told myself not with the way he
Zayn stood right there on the spot I had left him still confused about everything , he asked himself if he had done anything wrong that day to sprout the anger I was sprouting out at him . "Damn that cursed woman " he cussed as punched the walls with his fists. Zayn took out a pack of cigar from his pockets and after lighting one ,he ran his hands through his air as he puffed out the smoke into the air. He stood there watching the birds feed on the leftover seeds on the floor and when he looked around he saw I had the bucket behind when I stormed out of his sight in anger. Some birds were already gathering on top of it and pecking away at the seed . Zayn waves his hands heretically "shoo..." the birds all flew away in the different directions. At first Zayn thought about bringing the bucket to my room as he passed my door , he was about knocking but he thought against it again and dropped it by my door as he walked away to meet My father. I could
