Chapter 21: Waiting for the good news

‘You're a terrible liar,’ Zendaya said to him.‘That’s because I wasn't trying,’ Jayden asserted. If he wanted to lie, she wouldn't know, as he would do so effortlessly. He looked down at his phone and when he didn't see her typing, he wondered if he had said the wrong thing.However, in the next second, a call entered this phone, and he saw that it was Zendaya calling him. “So, what's your proposal?” She questioned.“There is a company crisis happening in one of the companies our families founded together,” he started.“Okay, and?” “Your father will have to either be there personally or send a representative. There’s no better way to get away from your family and prove that you're ready to get introduced to the family business,” he laid out. “But of course, the main goal will be to get away,” he concluded and there were silence from the other side of the line“I don't know if my dad will actually send me there, he's too protective of me,” Zendaya sighed. The first and important

Chapter 22: Send me there

After speaking with Jayden, Zendaya immediately headed out of her home to go see her father so she could help him win the bet.After all, he did save her yesterday and she was indebted to him.“Mom, where's dad?” She asked when she saw Kiandra. “He's in his study,” her mother told her, and she immediately headed down there.“Make sure you beat the two assholes to the point of death, but leave them alive,” she heard her father say to someone over the phone.When he saw her, he beckoned for her to sit, which she did as she waited for him to finish his phone call.From his conversation with the person she could tell that he had captured the two men who had assaulted her the previous day, and she applauded her father's team as they were fast, very fast.She wondered if they would still be tough with their bats once her father went to see them.“What is it, Zendaya?” Lucas asked his daughter.“Well, I want to request something from you,” she started, and she scratched the back of her head

Chapter 23: I did it

‘I did it,’ was what Jayden read when he picked up his phone to see who had texted him.A smile appeared on his face and he heard someone gasp, and when he looked up he saw his employees staring at him with a puzzled look on their faces. He couldn't blame them for staring, as it was unusual to see him smile, and it was even more unusual for him to pick up his phone in the middle of a meeting.“I don't remember asking you to stop, go on,” he said to the employee who was giving a presentation, after which he proceeded to respond to Zendaya.‘That's good, you just won me a bet,’ Jayden responded. I owe you something, he told her, and he saw her typing in the next second.His heart was full of excitement, seeing how Zendaya was giving him fast responses, and he hoped that she wouldn't fall asleep randomly again.‘I'll hold on to that and you better fulfill my request when the time comes,’ Zendaya told him, and he bit his lips to stop himself from smiling once more. ‘Are you busy?’ She

Chapter 24: I'm sorry

Zendaya was the first to get there and when she did, she ordered a cup of coffee for herself.It was a private restaurant, and she had chosen this place so she wouldn't have to worry about her photo getting taken by the paparazzi or by a fan.It would cause quite an uproar if she was seen with the same man she had told the world was cheating on her and she wasn't ready for that.About five minutes later, Matthew walked into the room and he looked rough.Gone was the man she fell in love with, and in his place was a man who looked like he hadn't gotten sleep for days. Good, he deserved it, she thought to herself.“How are you doing, Zendaya?” Matthew asked her, and she rolled her eyes as she wasn't interested in exchanging pleasantries with him. All she wanted was for him to tell her what he wanted so she could get the hell out of there.“Matthew, you lost the right to ask me that when you cheated on me. So how about we cut to the chase as I have other things to do than waste my tim

Chapter 25: What are you doing here?

“Sir, should I bring your dinner up to your room?” The head helper asked him as he returned home. It was beyond late, and he didn’t have the strength to eat.All he wanted to do was to get sleep, especially for the next day as he was departing for another state.“No, you’re dismissed for the night,” he told her and the helper nodded.“Sir, there’s an envelope on your desk in your study. Your brother sent it for you,” she informed him, referring to Arthur.“Alright,” he simply replied as he headed straight to his study to see what his cousin had left for him.The envelope was on his table, just like the helper had said, and without wasting time he ripped it open so he could see what was in it. A frown immediately appeared on his face, and his eyes darkened when he saw that they were pictures of Zendaya and Matthew.When he checked the time stamp, he saw that it was from today. Just an hour after he had told her that he would be busy.He had thought that Matthew was a closed chapter in

Chapter 26: Call your son back

Jayden looked at the time, and he wondered just how many more minutes it would take for Zendaya to get there. He had gotten there hours ago, as he wanted to go to the company to get a head start of what was happening. He wanted to do this before Zendaya got there so he would be able to spend more time with her without having to be too burdened by the work. Jayden snapped out of his thoughts when he heard footsteps approaching, and his eyes came alive when he heard Myra talking to somebody whom he assumed to be Zendaya. Without wasting time, he got up just in time as he heard her ask the helper if somebody was in his room. Not giving Myra the chance to respond, he came out of the room, and the look of shock that appeared on Zendaya's face was heavenly. “What the hell are you doing here?” He heard her ask him. “You can go,” he dismissed the helper, before turning to look at Zendaya, who was glaring at him. “You look nice,” he complimented, just to annoy her further. “Don't test

Chapter 27: Matthew's text

“Zendaya,” she heard Jayden call out to her as he knocked on the door. She took a deep breath to calm herself down before she opened the door.“What is it?” Zendaya asked.“I'm heading to the company, are you coming?” She heard him inquire.“Yes, I'll come,” she nodded. “Give me a few seconds to get dressed.”“This isn't your outing cloth?” Jayden squinted his eyes at her as he looked at her clothes, which were already perfect in his eyes.“No, they are not,” she responded, and she closed the door. Having nothing else to do, he waited patiently for her and after ten minutes, the door opened, and she came out dressed in a white suit, topped off with a pair of white heels which were about six inches, Jayden estimated in his head “We're going to be gone for a long time, are you sure you'll be able to walk in those heels for hours?” he couldn't help but ask, and Zendaya wondered if he had come there to help her or annoy her.“Do you want me to show you what I can do in these heels?” She

Chapter 28: I stopped a long time ago

Zendaya's eyes slowly fluttered open, and she rubbed it as she yawned. It took a few seconds for her to realize that she wasn't in her room and when she turned to see what she had been sleeping against, she saw it was Jayden.“Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry,” Zendaya quickly apologized as she sat straight, after which she subtly checked to see if she had drooled on his clothes.Thankfully, she hadn't, and she heaved a sigh of relief as she hadn't. “Welcome back, you know, watching you sleep made me realize that you’d be an amazing CEO,” she heard Jayden say, and she knew he was being sarcastic.“It’s my first day on the job,” she defended herself. “I wasn’t lazy on my first day,” Jayden retorted, and she cursed under her breath.“Did you find anything?” Zendaya inquired, changing the subject, and Jayden hummed in affirmation. But before we talk about that, Matthew texted you,” Jayden started the conversation he had been wanting to have.“He did?” Zendaya commented as she grabbed the

Chapter 29: The sins of the father

It was true that he was allergic to eggs in whatever form that they came in, boiled, scotched, fried, any form.He however didn’t think that Zendaya would stop eating eggs because of him. “Wait, so why did you put eggs in your sandwich back when we were younger?” He squinted his eyes at her. The incident was one that brought bad memories as he remembered how his face had become swollen after stealing her food.“It was revenge for what you did at my tenth birthday and don’t act like you don’t remember,” she hissed at him and Jayden chuckled as he reminisced about the past.Just like Zendaya had said, it was her tenth birthday and her parents had decided to throw a huge party for her, and they invited a lot of people including his two sisters. Knowing of the unending rivalry between Zendaya and Jayden, his mother wanted him to stay at home. However, Kiandra didn't want him to feel left out, and so she made Jasmine change her mind, which was a big mistake.He remembered how happy he w

Chapter 30: Hold on

“That was one of the greatest meals I ever had,” Zendaya remarked as she and Jayden made their way out of the restaurant. She was beyond full, and she had no regrets for over eating and surpassing her targeted calorie intake for the day. She would make up for it when she exercised next.“I can tell by how heavy you are,” Jayden rolled his eyes and Zendaya frowned. She was currently on his back as he carried her to the car. With how full she was and the heels she was wearing, there was no way she could make it back to the car, which was why she didn't think twice before accepting his offer to carry her.It was the first time it was happening, and she was shocked Jayden had been considerate enough to offer it.“I'm not heavy,” she cried out. “Are you the one carrying you or me?” She heard him say to her, and she hissed under her breath, as she rested her head on his shoulder.Jayden was grateful she couldn't see his face, which was bright and not the stoic expression he carried all d
