Semua Bab Tears of Yesterday: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Ravens pov.I need to secretly send a message to Neri. I asked her to meet me at the mall, so my excuse will be more realistic.Good thing that as I arrived at the mall, Neri was waiting for me at the stairs.Zeb saw her, so there is no need for him to ask anything about it. "Thank you for the ride.." I said, and I opened the door of the car."Remember, Raven. A man who laids his hand to his woman is not really a man with heart. He only has heart for himself." Zeb said. This time he didn't give me any looks. He was just facing the road.I have seen the pain in his face, especially when he left.I just looked at the car until it was finally gone."Hi! Missed me?" Neri asked when I got near her."Of course! Where is Lexi?" I asked because she's the only one waiting."Nahhh! Don't be so hopeful to see her tonight. Lexi was on a date, and let's just be happy for her." Neri smiled as she held my hands.I smiled back at her, but my thoughts had been filled with Zeb's images."So that was Z

Raven's pov.I was supposed to send a letter and ask for a leave of absence for one day, but Axel will surely ask me why. I couldn't think of any reason why he would surely believe it, so I just went to work.I arrived at the office, and I was thankful that Zeb was not yet there."Goodmorning, Sandy.. Is Sir Zeb already in?" I asked, hoping that she would give a good answer."No, well, he called me last night and said he would drop by the hotel because he would be having a meeting there. So maybe he'll be here after lunch." Sandy replied while looking at the screen of her laptop.I took a deep breath, because I was sure that it was Rhane whom he was going to meet.I'm safe, finally! That's what I thought.. until.."Mrs. Hayes, I need you to come to my office." Zeb, who just arrived from a meeting, said. Sandy was right; he will arrive after lunch, and he's finally here.I quickly got up from my seat and followed him.I closed the door as he started to take his coat off."I will just

Zeb's pov.Dad was not expecting me. I often told him to wait two days before giving him a visit, but today's visit was just sudden and unplanned.He smiled when he saw my car, and as usual, my driver just dropped me off."Dad!" I get near him, and I tap his shoulder.He hugged me tight!"This is a surprise, son! Why didn't you tell me?" Dad asked and he led me into the house. Maybe I just have the right timing because he just finished with his client."Well, I just need to see you. I missed you, though." He laughed silently. He washed his hands and offered something to drink. "How are you doing here, dad?" I asked.."Well and good. People came to realize that this shop is still the best. But of course, your company will always be number one." He said it with a wide and sincere smile.There was a sudden silence between us, but it didn't last."Is there something I can do for you?""Why did you ask, dad?""Zeb, you're my son, and I know you. I know you from head to foot, and I could

Zeb's pov I could say that the party was successful enough. I have seen how everyone was amazed at how Zebastian Dawson looked. Finally, everyone had seen me. in person and on TV. I already prepared myself for a life in public. I know my father's neighbor is also shocked if they are watching television.For eight years, I never introduced myself. I did everything that I could to hide my real identity. I lived a simple life as an ordinary human. No one knows what I have, no one knows what I can do, and no one knows what I can give.Some just kept their eyes on me and were obviously surprised as I stepped up on the stage.Axel, his mom, Raven's parents, and some of the businessmen who used to humiliate me every time they saw me inside the Dream High companyI drank the wine from the bottom up. I grinned as I remembered how Axel and Raven walked out of the hall. I have seen that, and I should be happy, but why can't I feel any happiness? What I can feel is sadness and madness towards th

Zeb's PovAfter what happened at the party, I decided not to show up or even to talk to Raven. I went to several meetings, but I didn't ask her to come with me, as it says in the contract. I know that there is no way for them to back out, because it was stated on the last part of the contract that once they change their minds, the company has all the rights to sue them.It's been a week, and I have been keeping myself busy. I never answer calls, especially when they are not about business.As my day off came, I decided to just stay home. I know dad will understand because I already told him what happened. I called him, and I heard how proud he was. I should be happy, and that's the only feeling that I should possess, but why can't I feel even a bit of happiness?I know Hattie is also wondering why I don't pay any attention to her calls, her messages, or even at the office. I am not in the mood to talk to anyone."So you are here? " I looked behind me, and I saw Hattie standing right
