Chapter 101: Spilit coffee

The lights dimmed, and the photographer called out, "That’s a wrap, everyone!" Zendaya heard him say as she sighed in relief.Without wasting time, she slipped out of her heels and stretched her sore feet. The shoot had been exhausting, but it had gone well. She grabbed her things, thanking the crew, and she immediately headed out of the studio with a coffee in hand. She was finally done for the day, and now she could focus on getting some plants and paint for the mansion. She then made a mental note to ask Jayden if she was okay with some guys coming over to redecorate the house.Stepping out of the building, she was too engrossed in her thoughts to notice the figure walking toward her. Just as she took a sip of her coffee, she collided with someone, the cup tilting dangerously. A gasp escaped her lips as the liquid spilled onto the stranger's shirt.“Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry!” she blurted as she quickly grabbed her handkerchief to wipe the coffee off the shirt.“It's okay,” sh

Chapter 102: Anil is back

The boardroom buzzed with activity as Jayden sat at the head of the table, listening to his team give updates on the recent crisis that had happened in the company. His sharp eyes scanned the reports in front of him, his focus unbroken despite the noise around him.“—and as of this morning, we've managed to find the source of the breach.The odds have shifted slightly in our favour,” one of his executives concluded, clearly relieved. “We’ve managed to downplay most of the fallout.”Jayden nodded curtly. “Good. Keep monitoring it. I want real-time updates on any changes.”The team murmured their agreement before someone else began to present. As they spoke, Jayden leaned back in his chair, as he grabbed his pen to play with it.While his mind was partially on the briefing, a larger part of him wandered to Zendaya and what she was doing. He hadn’t texted her since they spoke in the morning, as he had been bombarded by his team and had been busy ever since.His thoughts were interrup

Chapter 103: He was beaten up

The clinking of cups, the hiss of the espresso machine, and a low hum of conversation filled the coffee shop.Anil and Zendaya sat across from each other in a cozy corner of the shop. The sunlight shone through the large windows, casting a warm glow on the wooden table between them. Anil’s shirt had been changed and thankfully, he managed to find a shirt the exact colour.“Thanks again for waiting while I changed,” Anil said, running a hand through his hair. “I swear I’m cursed around coffee when you’re involved,” he remarked, reminding Zendaya of what had happened in the past.Zendaya chuckled as she remembered what had happened. He was right, her coffee and him didn't go well together, and it always left him at the receiving end.“I said I was sorry, didn’t I? And hey, at least I didn’t spill it on your face this time.”Anil laughed, a genuine sound that made Zendaya relax for a moment. She liked that about him—his ability to brush off awkward moments without making them feel lik

Chapter 104: Her loss

Jayden stepped into the abandoned mansion, his brow furrowed as he spotted Zendaya waiting in the dimly lit living room. When their eyes met, she didn't look happy to see him, and he wondered if Anil had done something to make her sad.“What’s wrong?” he asked in a calm voice.“You know exactly what’s wrong?" Zendaya snapped, as she stood up. “Daniel. The guy you swore you wouldn’t go after while you were sleeping with me, Jayden.”Jayden froze for a moment as he processed her words. His lips pressed into a thin line before he spoke. “Zendaya, I told you I’d handle him. And I did.”“Handle him?” she repeated in disbelief, her voice rising. “You beat him up till he fell unconscious, Jayden! Do you have any idea what you’ve done? He’s in the hospital! The police are investigating this!”Jayden raised an eyebrow, and Zendaya could tell from the expression he had on his face that he was unbothered. “Let them investigate. They won’t find anything,” he said.His nonchalant tone made Zen

Chapter 105: Expecting a text

Zendaya stood outside Anaya’s house, hesitating before ringing the bell. She had tried to get Jayden out of her mind, but he refused to leave, and it was as though he had permanently built a house there.She needed a distraction and what better way to get one than Anaya. Shaking her head, she finally pressed it.A moment later, Anaya’s cheerful voice came through the intercom. “Who’s there?”“It’s me,” Zendaya said, trying to sound normal.“Zendaya? What are you doing here?!” she heard her friend say as she opened the door.Anaya was wearing a fluffy cardigan and pajama pants, her hair in a messy bun. “You look like you could use a drink or five,” she teased, stepping aside to let Zendaya in.This was one of the reasons why she had come there. It had barely been ten seconds, and Anaya was doing what Anaya did best.“Don’t tempt me especially after what happened the last time,” Zendaya muttered, shrugging off her coat and kicking off her shoes.“Rough day?” Anaya asked as she led Zen

Chapter 106: The aftermath of their fight

The lights in the bar were dim, the faint glow of a single bulb shining while Jayden sat a glass of scotch in his hand.Outside, the abandoned mansion lay silent.This place had always been his sanctuary, a reflection of the chaos he often kept buried inside. The fact that it was away from people always gave him peace.However, tonight was different, as the silence wasn’t enough to give him the peace it always gave him.Jayden’s phone buzzed against the wooden counter. He stared at it for a moment before picking it up. A message from Lan lit the screen.“Zendaya’s safe. She’s at Anaya’s place. All clear,” was what the text read.Jayden exhaled, his shoulders easing. He hadn’t realized how he had worried he’d been until now. Zendaya was safe. That was all that mattered.Even though he was mad at her, it didn't mean he would stop protecting her, which was why he had asked his men to keep an eye on her to make sure she was safe.Speaking of Zendaya, he opened their chat and his thumb ho

Chapter 107: Come home now

The Next DayZendaya sat at a desk, staring blankly at the open script in front of her. It was the script for the new movie she was starring in and she was trying to rehearse for it.However, the words on the page blurred together, stubbornly refusing to make sense and it annoyed her as she usually had no problem in memorizing her linesHer phone sat face-up beside her laptop, silent, as it had been all morning.She hadn’t slept well. Between replaying their argument in her head and checking her phone more times than she cared to admit, she was running on two hours of restless sleep and a lot of caffeine.“Zendaya?” Anaya’s voice cut through the thoughts, and Zendaya looked up to find her friend leaning against her study doorway, her brow raised. “You okay? You look…” Anaya paused as though she was trying to find the right word to use.“Tired?” Zendaya offered dryly, trying to force a small smile.“Exhausted,” Anaya decided to settle for that. “What happened? I've never seen you lik

Chapter 108: A call from Lan

Zendaya stepped out of her car after she had parked it and she began to make her way towards the mansion. Despite her initial irritation at Jayden's threats, seeing the place bustling with workers was a small relief at least he had allowed them into the mansion. Several vans were parked near the entrance, their logos reading "Zane Interior Designs." Inside, a group of designers and decorators moved around, inspecting walls, taking measurements, and unloading boxes of materials.She spared them only a passing glance despite their shock at seeing her there. However they quickly got over it as they continued to work. She wasn't worried about them spilling to the public as the contracts they’d signed included strict non-disclosure agreements so she was rest assured.Taking a deep breath, she began to make her way to Jayden’s room.Her heart pounded in her chest and there was a part of her which was excited that she was going to see him but the other part of her was still angry at him

Chapter 109: Panic attack

Zendaya froze as the weight of Jayden’s words sank in. Her chest tightened, and her breath hitched, coming in short gasps as she stared at him.No, it couldn’t be, she said to herself in denial as she shook her head.“The police were… at the mansion?” she managed to whisper, her voice trembling.Jayden nodded, his expression calm, as though it wasn’t a matter of his life on the line. “Yes, Lan said they were asking about Daniel’s death and looking for me. I’m guessing they found out about the fact that I went to see Daniel that night.”Zabelle's mind began to race. Images of officers storming the property, asking questions, and digging into their lives flashed through her head. The walls of the room seemed to close in around her, and her knees felt weak. She stumbled back a step, but Jayden held her firmly and she clutched onto his shirt for support.“Zendaya.” Jayden called out to her, but she barely heard him.Her breaths became faster, shallower, her chest heaving as panic gripp

Chapter 110: Don't act recklessly

Jayden arrived at his family’s mansion, the weight of the situation settling over him as he drove past the gates. This was foolish, he thought to himself. He was an adult yet the thought of what the old man wanted to say to him made him nervous. His thoughts were muddled as he parked and approached the grand front door, his jaw tightening in as he prepared himself for what lay ahead.As soon as he stepped inside, a familiar voice stopped him in his tracks.“Well, look who finally decided to show up,” Juliette sneered as she came to stand in front of him.Jayden sighed, dramatically as he rolled his eyes at his younger sister.“Not now, Dimwit.”“Oh, I think now is the perfect time,” Juliette humped. Her tone was dripping with mockery as she stepped closer, her eyes narrowing. “Tell me, Jayden, how does it feel knowing the police might come for you? I mean, you’ve always been the golden boy, haven’t you? Untouchable.”He rolled his eyes once again, stepping past her. “Move, Juliett
