Twist of Fate Chapter 20
Accalia-The awkwardness stretched out, with me standing just inside the apartment and Zy in the hall. I wasn’t sure if I should speak first or let him talk. I knew I needed to explain why I had another man in the apartment since I didn’t even believe the excuse I used.“I am sorry.” I broke the silence and almost missed the fact he spoke at the same time that I did.“Wait, what are you sorry about?”“For kissing you without permission. What are you sorry for?”“I t-thought…” I stuttered slightly before trying again. “I thought you might be upset because I had another man in the apartment without talking to you first.”“You don’t need to apologize for asking for someone to help fix a linking sink,” Zy chuckled, which relieved some of the tension between us.I had planned to tell him the half-truth and the real reason I asked Jon to the apartment, but since he believed me, it was better if I didn’t expose the fact that I lied. Of course, I wouldn’t have told him everything—just that Jo
Twist of Fate Chapter 21
Accalia- Over the next week, my entire life changed. Well, not entirely, but for the first time in, I don’t know how long, I was able to let go of my identities and be myself. As I spent time with Zy, I discovered more about myself. It was like I was able to find the girl I had been growing up before I was forced to grow up overnight. Not once did I worry about my status as the Princess being exposed or my identity as the leader of the Renegades. I was simply a girl, going to work, returning home to cook for her husband, and making friends. Even when I hid my identity, I could never just be me. With Zy, I could laugh freely and even embarrass myself without fear of consequences. Even if I had only been able to spend a few evenings with Zy this last week, every time had been better than the previous. If it weren’t for my responsibility to take over the throne for my father, I would willingly walk away and become an ordinary girl. It wasn’t just Zy who helped me be myself but also
Twist of Fate Chapter 22
Accalia-"Why am I just learning that you are married?" Azure stopped beside Zy, momentarily glancing at me before glaring at Zy. "Mom!" Zy jumped up, half yelling, half whispering, as he covered her mouth. "Can we discuss this later?" I ate my previous words. Who would have thought that my own warning would bite me in the ass? I was probably the biggest fool of them all. "You are Alpha Zydan Hynes?" My voice shook, but I kept my composure as I slowly stood. "I can explain." The panic in Zy... I mean, Zydan's eyes mirrored the panic in my heart.Azure pushed Zydan’s hand away from her mouth. “I hope you can explain yourself. Do you know how embarrassed I was when your cousin told me you were married to an intern?” Azura fixated her eyes on Zydan without blinking.“Your cousin?” I asked, although that was the least of my concerns.“The girl that was playing on her phone when we arrived.” Zydan answered as he reached for my hand, but I stepped out of his reach.“Listen, I don’t care
Twist of Fate Chapter 23
Accalia-"What are you doing here?" Silica asked the moment I entered the building.Silica was covered with paint splatter. It appeared that while things were going up in flames for me, she and Eclipse were painting. I didn’t see Eclipse, but I was sure he was around somewhere."I came to stay here for a while." I tossed my bag on the ground."What is going on?" Eclipse emerged from one of the bathrooms."It is a long story." Glancing around, I was relieved that no one else was here at the moment. "I am starving. Is there anything to eat?"I walked to a mini fridge by the front desk, but it only had drinks. Grabbing a bottle of water, I chugged it until it was empty. Taking another water from the fridge, I closed the door. Eclipse had his phone out, calling someone and asking if they were almost here."It will be here soon." Eclipse said after he hung up."Good." I carried my water upstairs after retrieving my bag. "I will be upstairs until it gets here."By the way, they exchanged gl
Twist of Fate Chapter 24
Accalia-Even after spending Sunday contemplating things and deciding to stay with Zydan for the time being, I still wasn’t ready to deal with him. When I returned to work, I was sent on an assignment, which I was okay with.Jason thought I wouldn’t want to be at the office, and he was correct. I wasn’t the only one who went; Chase and Diana went with me. I knew it was a trivial assignment, but if it meant avoiding Zydan, I was willing to do it. We were supposed to market research the latest technology and find out if there were any issues.We spent the day walking around, asking people questions. I noticed Chase and Diana seemed to be getting closer as well. I felt it wouldn’t be long before they announced they were dating. We returned to the office when we finished gathering as much information as possible.As we exited the elevator, I saw Zydan walking toward our office. “I forgot something downstairs. I will be back later.”“But…” Diana started, but her eyes lit up with understand
Twist of Fate Chapter 25
Accalia-My gaze stayed on the recorder until Silica shoved it into her pocket. My emotions were becoming numb, and I was at a loss for what to do. I thought I would find clues when I arrived, but I hadn't been prepared to find something that could lead me to learn about how my mother died. Before my thoughts could run rampant, Eclipse came inside."Is everything loaded?" Silica asked once Eclipse walked up to us."I think so, but it wouldn't hurt to return to double-check. Right now, the truck is full.""How? We still had plenty of room last time I was out there." I looked past him toward the door, where his truck had been backed up so we could load things."I found a room with video recordings. There are over a thousand hours to go through." Eclipse showed me his phone, which had a picture of over twenty boxes with VHS tapes. "We will need to find a VCR or convert them to disk."Glancing around the now mostly empty lab, I felt a strong urge to leave. Even if this had belonged to my
Twist of Fate Chapter 26
Accalia-At some point after eating, I guess I must have fallen asleep, but Zydan carried me to my room. When I woke up, Zydan left a note that he had to leave early for a meeting. Now that I knew who he was, I realized how ridiculous I was for not suspecting that he was more than an assistant.In addition to the note, he also placed my keys on the table, along with a plate containing two breakfast sandwiches. The sandwiches were still warm, so I figured he left a few minutes before I came downstairs. I didn’t have time to sit and eat, so I put one sandwich in my bag while carrying the second one.On my way to the garage, I ate one sandwich. I wasn’t in a hurry to leave, but I woke up to a message from Jason telling me that I needed to attend a meeting with the other interns. I had called to ask Diana about it since I received the message at three in the morning.She told me that Zydan’s mother came into the office and fussed about how her son was married to an intern. Arielle had add
Twist of Fate Chapter 27
Zydan-After settling everything with Lia and the other interns, I left the room in a huff. When I came face to face with my mother, I glared at her for a long moment without speaking. I might respect and love my mother, but she crossed the line. I might not have any proof, but I was sure she was behind Lia getting assigned to Shaw.“You can be mad at me all you want, but I am doing this for your own good. Lia isn’t good enough for you. The only one you should be with is her.” My mother gently shoved Arielle toward me.I noticed the moment that Arielle pretended to lose her balance as she fell toward me. She was clearly trying to use dirty tricks to get close to me. Reacting quickly, I stepped back to avoid Arielle falling into me while pivoting to the side.Jaxon exited the office at the perfect time and stuck his foot out to cause Arielle to trip for real. “Oh, sorry about that.” Jaxon smirked.“You should really watch where you are going.” I commented as Jaxon stepped over Arielle
