Waking up in Zach apartment wasn't what Maisie had in mind the next morning she woke up but she must have been stupid to think that she could have just kissed him and it would end at that, kissing. After Zach had sex with her the first time, he took her to his car then his apartment. Where her brain went to while all these were happening, she would never know but she did know that she didn't regret one minute of it. At least Zach left the issue of making her tell him where they met. And she might be able to distract him whenever he brings up the issue.
" My ego is bruised. " Zach sleepy voice said behind her as the arm anchoring her to a hard male body behind her tightened. " You are in my bed and your mind is a thousand miles away. "
" You are asleep, jerk. " Maisie said with a smile as she turns to face Zach who was slowly becoming awake.
" Morning. " Zach w
" I can't believe that this is your apartment building. " Zach said as they entered an elevator. " Why? the location is pretty good. " Maisie said. "Not the location. It feels eerily familiar like I have been here before. Like I have lived here before. " Zach corrected.Maisie didn't know what to say to that, sooner or later she was going to have to tell him that she fell for his ghost. " I am sure that it is just a case of Deja Vu. " Maisie said flippantly and Zach narrowed his eyes at her. She knew something. And although he promised not to force her to say anything, he couldn't help but wonder about their story. He knew where she lived for Christ's sake. As soon as he is alone he is going to do some calculations to draw a time frame in which he must have met Maisie.When the elevator stopped on her floor, they went out of th
Maisie should have known that Zach would never try to keep anything on a low key. The next day when she entered her office, she saw Zach sitting on her seat while discussing with Anthony and Dashell." Hey, babe. " Zach said as a mode of greeting and Maisie could barely stifle her groan.She could see the questions in Anthony's eyes. " hey Zach. " she said and she knew that if she didn't walk to Zach by her own accord. That he would so something that would be more embarrassing and eyebrows raising than what he was doing already. She moved towards Zach and as soon as she got within an arm's length, Zach snatched her off her feet and dumped her in his laps, " I miss you. " Zach said nuzzling her neck. " You saw me less than twelve hours ago. "Maisie grumbles. " What does that have to do with anything. " Zach asked with a frown.
" I cannot believe that he didn't even show you appreciation for taking care of his precious firm. " Vivienne spat. " Relax Vivi, we got something from the firm, didn't we? " Jeffery said as Vivienne smiled at him. " We did. " Vivi agrees as she kissed her fiance on his lips. " we need to find a way to make sure that Zach doesn't discover what we have done. " Jeffery looks at his fiancee as she added. " You know until the security reduces around Zach and we can ensure that he stays dead this time. " " Well, we just have to distract him so that he won't notice what is going on. " Jeffery suggested. " He is dating a lawyer in the firm her name is Maisie Williams. That should keep him occupied until we can think of something. " Vivi said as she pours a glass of scotch for herself and Jeffery. " Zach is not th
Zach didn't understand what he was seeing about his company finances, there is no way it should be as bad as that, even with the loss of his top-notch clients. Workers were not paid and the ones who were paid had their salaries slashed in half. What could have happened while he was gone? "Hello," Maisie said as she breezed into Zach's office. " Hey. " Zach replied his eyes still focused on the documents in front of him. Maisie knew from Zach's wrinkled eyebrows and intense expression that something was going bad, and it was outside Zach's control. Instead of asking Zach what was wrong, she went to look at him over his shoulders. " What wrong with the finances? " Maisie asked when she couldn't make head or tail of what was written on the paper that Zach was looking through." It isn't adding up. It looks like a large amount was taken out of the company account and it was
Zach arranged the finishing touches to the dinner after it was served. He didn't know why he was nervous. He was acting like a boy who is about to meet his date for the prom father as he is picking her up. Okay, it was almost the same thing, the only person he would need to like him that was related to Maisie was her friend and she was coming here to assess him. Although Maisie had tried to downplay her friend's character he had heard enough about there to draw up his conclusions that she was crazy and hard to impress and from Maisie's conversation with her on the phone. He could tell that the girl is indeed crazy and was not so freaked about him dating her best friend.If it was any other girl he would not have gone through this worrying process. Hell, he would not have even think about letting the girl family near his apartment neither would he be thinking about them liking him but he found out that he cared because it was Maisie. The
When Maisie opened the door to Zach's apartment, she knew that Zach would have done a surprise for her. But what she saw was not the kind of surprise she had thought of. Maisie heard Betty exclamation of " holy shit " but she didn't turn to look at her, she didn't do anything at all. She couldn't do anything. All she could do was to continue to stare at the spot which her world crashed even though Zach had jumped away from Vivi. All she could do was stare at the place where her heart had been broken. When her gaze went blurry she knew she had to leave very quickly before Zach would come to her. She was sure that he has a very good explanation of why his lips were in Vivi's own, just like they were in hers earlier that day... At that thought, a sob broke out from her throat as she quickly turns and ran to the elevator. Betty was right beside her. That proved that Betty would alway
Zach spent an hour searching all over the city at places he was sure Maisie would go but he didn't see her. He knew he had to try her home soon although he knew that Maisie would think it was too easy for him if she decides to hide there, so she will definitely not sleep there. Still, he had to try his luck.Zach breathed he didn't know what Vivi game was but it was over. He would not allow her to do whatever she wants with his relationship. He was going to deal with her later but what was in his agenda right now was looking for Maisie, he had already tracked the car to see it dumped by the side of the road with a parking ticket already. Zach knew that if Betty had her way, she would have trashed the car. Zach went to Maisie's home and knocked ( more like bang) on her door." Maisie open up. Please open up if you are in there. " To Zach's greatest surprise he heard the locks turning as th
Maisie didn't go to work on Monday but she knew that she couldn't push it off much longer so she went on Tuesday.And when she saw Cathy, she tried to avoid her. " Miss Williams. " Cathy called out as Maisie was about to turn back.Maisie turned and looked at Cathy as she fixed a strained smile on her face. " Yes. " " I wanted to invite you for a cookout I am having this weekend at my place. " Cathy said with a smile on her face and a glow around her. Maisie noticed it but she was still stuck on what Cathy said " why do you want to invite me. " Maisie asked when she could finally get her tongue to unfreeze. " Because you are Anthony's friend. " Cathy said as if it was the most obvious thing ever. " Since when do you care for Anthony. " Maisie asked in confusion. Cathy looked at her weirdly.
Zach arrived at the location in which Jeffery wanted him to go and he saw Maisie on the floor bleeding. " Oh look. The lovesick boy came. "Jeffery said with a laugh. " And with twenty minutes to spare. Tell me, how many traffic laws did you break. " " I lost count after the first ten. " Zach replied as Jeffery let out a laugh. " Then let's get to business I am sure that you would like Maisie to leave here soon so we should start. " Jeffery said as he stood up and walked to Zach holding his gun out. " I would love to shoot you but it would not be satisfying enough. " " Then what do you want to do now. " Zach asked Jeffery.Jeffery stopped in front of Zach " Well, I would love to beat you into a pulp first. " Jeffery said as he hit his gun against Zach's head as Zach fell." Come on Zach. With your ability to survive being hit by a car, you should rem
Maisie arrived at the location which Jeffery had sent her with her nerves going crazy. She knew that she could be dead before Zach got there she just hopes that Betty and Zach should be alright after this whole incident." Well, well we'll. Look who came. " Jeffery said as he came out from behind a pillar and Maisie jumped in shock." Where is Betty. " Maisie asked in a small voice." Why, you don't want to hang out with your future brother in law. I heard Zach proposed to you and you said no. " Jeffery said making small talks as Maisie try to hedge far away from him." None of that. " Jeffery warns as Maisie froze.Maisie had to try a couple of times before the word could leave her throat. " None of what? "Jeffery scoffs at Maisie as he moved towards her. Maisie didn't dare to shift back in case he decided to punish Zach for her acti
Jeffery frowned at the news which Vivi had just told him about his brother. He could not believe that Zach could do that, he would not do that unless he remembers. He should have found a way to make sure that Zach had never woken up from that coma and then he would fired Maisie from the moment he saw her. And now he would have to do something drastic because warning, threats and attempted murders are no longer enough. Jeffery was not as dumb as to believe that he could get away with killing his brother and his fiancée but since he was already going down he has no problem with dragging those two with him.Jeffery turned and look at Vivi, if he was less jaded, he would have smiled at her loyalty, he knew with all certainty that if it has not been him but his brother in this calamity, Vivi would have cut her loses a while ago, but she stayed with him and with the way she is giving him information which are useful to him like his brother words and the order he would soon get from
" You nearly killed me. " Maisie said as soon as her lunch date sat looking nervous. He scanned the restaurant three times before he relaxed. If he had only known that there was a small camera that was recording his conversation with Maisie and playing it to some detectives who were in an unmarked car at the restaurant parking lot. Tim looked pale, " I- I do-don't know what you are talking about. " "That wasn't very convincing. " Maisie said with a glare " your phone sent the text that nearly made me died. I should call the police and have them arrest you. "Tim swallowed opposite her. " I never sent you any kind of. " " Sure. You didn't, your phone did that all on its own then when I arrived at the location I was sent to. I was attacked so let's see who the police will believe. " " I am sorry but I didn't send it. My phone is missing and I got a new one. "
Zach opened his door to a nightmare he hoped he will never see again. Maisie hanging from Cassidy's arms looking like she had just survived a fight with death. " What happened? " Zach asked as he stepped out of the doorway and allow Cassidy to enter. " She drowned. " Cassidy said as Zach turned sharply to look at him. " And what was she doing in the water by this time of the night. " Zach asked because he could sense that Cassidy was keeping something from him. " It would be better if you don't know. " Cassidy said after being quiet for a while when Zach asked the former question. " Why would she go near the water at this time of the night, Cass. " Zach asked in a firm tone which meant that he would not be moved from the issue.Cassidy sighed. He had tried his best. "She must have gotten a message that states tha
" Hello. This is Jeffery. "Jeffery said answering the unknown number calling him. " Hello! This is Tim from Hugo Financial Auditors office. "Jeffery stopped what he was doing. He recognized that name anywhere. He paid them to help him balance the accounts of his firm when it was still under him. And he visited them when Zach woke up to tell them that if anybody comes looking at clues that he should be informed. And although he paid heavily for that message to stick. He was glad that he spent the amount now. " Go on. " Jeffery said relaxing back into his seat. " We had a visit from a lawyer with your firm today. "" Okay," Jeffery said with a sigh of relief. They thought that he was still in charge of the firm. It was a good thing that Zach changed his ways of spraying his face all over the media when he woke up. He was going to have to distract Zach from that
" Maisie, where are you. "Zach's voice came through the instant the call went through. "Tracking down some leads. " Maisie replied. " Maisie, it could be dangerous.... " Zach started. " Yes it could've but I will not sit down on my ass and wait for you to recover quicker just so that you can do the same thing I am doing, " Maisie snapped at Zach. " If you won't sit on your ass, I swear that when I do see you. I will spank that ass. " Zach threaten as Maisie laugh." Is that supposed to discourage me. " Maisie asked as Zach growled." Where are you. Tell me so that I can come to get you. " " Like I will do anything that stupid. " Maisie rolls her eyes at Zach even though she knew that he couldn't see her. " I am serious. " " So I am. I wil
" He what? " Maisie asked in surprise." He was responsible for my first accident. " Zach said as Maisie collapse on her chair. Maisie knew that something was going on when Zach didn't want his family with him but she would have never suspected the reason was this. " Are you sure? " Maisie asks Zach and when Zach glared at her she hurriedly continued. " I mean I always felt like something was off with Jeffery. Like, he was putting on an act but this is too far. " Maisie stood up unable to sit still anymore. " I mean why would he do that. " " Because he is my next of kin who is set to inherit everything when I die. I am sure that he decided to hurry the process of me dying. " Zach answered in a bitter tone.Maisie stopped her pacing to look at her boyfriend who was certainly angry. Both at himself and Jeffery. " It wasn't your fault. There was no way that you would know what
Maisie gave Zach some water to drink as she pondered about his statement. What did he mean by that? Did he mean their time together or something else? He seems restless to make her understand but she calmed him down just after she pressed the button to call for the doctor. " Don't let my family near me. " Zach tells Maisie as soon as he had sipped enough water for his throat. Maisie frowned at that. That was a strange request even when it is coming from Zach, she knew that Zach felt out of tune with his family she had been hoping that he would not be too angry with her for not letting his family visit him but the request threw her. It was like he was scared that they would try to hurt him. She knew that she couldn't push for answers now but she could keep to his requests. " Promise me. " Zach added as the door open and the doctor came in." I promise. " Maisie
