Zach's PoV What the hell just happened? My mind is still reeling from everything that just unfolded. I ended the call with Kyra and the next thing I know, is that Yana is pissed and then tells me to go screw myself! She stalked off towards the hospital, and when I attempted to follow her things escalated! Deciding to give her some space and time to cool off, I grab a seat outside and order a beer. Slipping my phone from my pocket, I dial Kyle's number. "Bro, can you believe Yana just told me to go screw myself and accused me of being a player!?" I rant as soon as the line opens. Kyle gasps in shock, "Tell me you're lying! What did you do Zach?" He asks in an accusatory tone. At this point I'm flabbergasted by the events unfolding in my life: first Yana and now Kyle's accusation! Sighing, I pinch the bridge of my nose, trying to stay calm. "Bro, you know me! I didn't do anything, I swear!" Kyle scoffs, "You expect me to believe you guys reconnected today, everything was going wel
Yana's PoVEntering my office, I toss by bag and phone unto the desk angrily. Today is Monday, and ever since the incident on Friday with Zach I've been angry and miserable. Perhaps I was too gullible for love, too quick to believe he was different! Maybe this is a sign that I should stay single because these men are not it!Laura and I haven't spoken since either because she thinks I'm jumping to conclusions. I know what I heard, Zach distinctly said: 'Just relax okay, I'll be home soon baby girl."What more do I need to know that he's a lying, cheating bastard? Powering my MacBook on, I check my schedule for meetings and clients I'd need to see. My office door bangs open, and in strolls Damon.Can this day get any worst?"Good morning Yana, I hope you had a great weekend." He says in a sing song tone. For someone who got his ass whooped, he surely is in a good mood."My weekend was just fine Sir. Is there something you need?" My tone is clipped, I literally have zero patience to dea
Yana's PoVThis entire week has been taxing on my poor body. Between work, Damon's jealousy and Zach's persistence, I don't know what is worst.Declining Zach's calls was not a deterrent at all, he resorted to sending floral and chocolate deliveries every single day. This notion annoyed Damon to no end, in fact, he doubled my work load!Entering my driveway, I heave a sigh of relief as it's finally Friday! All I need this weekend is rest and recuperation to tackle next week.As I exit my car, my phone vibrates and the screen lights up with a message from Zach and Sapphire.Sapphire: Remember we're hitting the club at 10! Don't even think of bailing on me either, I know where you live.Chuckling at her craziness, I reply: Fine! But I'm leaving by midnight. I'm tired Sapph!Zach: Hey baby, I hope you'll get some rest this weekend. Can we do brunch on Sunday PLZ?Shaking my head, I reply to him: I'll try to rest, thanks. Please, no more deliveries at the office. Let's just forget this wh
Zach's PoVCall me a stalker, I don't care but I just had to go to the club after Laura sent me the photos. I'd been pestering her all week to help me with Yana but she outright refused. This is even after I explained everything in detail!So imagine my surprise when she sent the photo and told me Yana would be at Club Azure. I have no regrets going either, especially since I succeeded in keeping all those thirsty men away from her.Kyle is simply staring at me dumbfounded. "You mean, her sister deliberately told you her whereabouts and you went?" He furrows his brows, "Despite the doctor telling you to stay put?"I nod, which angers him instantly. "Wouldn't you have done the same thing if it were you in my position?"Kyle glares at me then downs the rest of his bourbon. "I don't know if I should call you stupid or give you another concussion!"Scoffing, I grab my water and take slow sips. I can't let him know I've a pounding headache stemming from the loud music and bass in the club.
Zach's PoVThe intense stares between us is similar to a game of Russian Roulette. Kyle, Laura and I are currently seated outside a Cafe near to the hospital. We're trying to convince Laura to side with us but she's hesitant."If you don't wonna help, why did you send me the photos and her location on Friday?" I deadpan.She sips her hot chocolate, "Because I thought you would've been successful then." Laura scoffs, "Clearly I was very wrong."Kyle snickers beside me, I nudge his foot underneath the table. "You know she is as stubborn as an ox! Was I supposed to blurt everything out inside a night club for everyone to hear?"She leans back in her chair, seemingly pensive. Kyle decides to finally add his two cents to the conversation. He seems very smitten by Laura, but I'll tackle that later on."You need a new sitter right?" He says and I nod yes. Kyle turns to Laura, "She has experience right, based on what you shared about Alex."Laura sits up straight smiling, "Yes she does. And i
Yana's PoVIt's never good to always listen to your big sister like I do! This is the reason why I'm getting out of bed at 10 a.m. with a throbbing headache to do her a favor.Apparently, her coworker has a viewing in the next two hours, but his sitter canceled at the last minute. Groggily, I head to the bathroom just as Laura calls for the umpteenth time today. Hissing my teeth, I open the line, "What Laura?"She huffs and clicks her tongue. "If you move any slower, you won't make it in time!" Laura whines like a fractious child.I huff, "Why didn't you go to keep his kid then huh?" I start brushing my teeth and ignore her ranting.Once I'm done, I turn the tap on and take a quick shower. Five minutes later, I turn the water off and exit the shower just in time to hear the tail end of Laura's rant."...she's not even listening to what I'm saying though!" Laura states in a snappish tone.I chuckle lowly, knowing this will irritate her to no end. "You think this is funny Yana!" She yel
Zach's PoVAwkward doesn't begin to describe my current situation. Since Yana discovered I wasn't being deceptive, she has simply been distraught. She has been apologizing profusely, even though I've told her several times that everything is okay."Zach, I should've believed you, I'm truly sorry for not trusting you." She says yet again, while dabbing her tears with a napkin.Taking her hands in mine, I wipe a stray tear with my thumb. "We're just getting started, you've been through alot with other guys..." I pause to lift her head to meet my gaze. "Let's start on a clean slate Yana, okay?"She nods eagerly and lunges into my arms, the impact causing us to plop down into the couch.Yana pecks my lips twice, "I'm happy you didn't give up on me." She smiles and hugs me.Picking her left hand up, I kiss the back. "I guess this is where I really let you in on my life."A serious expression creases her face instantly. "What exactly do you mean?"Easing her up, I adjust my position to face
Yana's PoV2 Weeks later....Zach and I have been going steady, and it's all surreal! He's attentive, affectionate, doting, and charismatic. I can truly admit that this is the happiest I've been in a long while!Sitting at my desk, I make the final changes to a contract and email it to Damon. He's been very low key recently, especially since he saw Zach picking me up for lunch a few times.My phone starts ringing, "Hey baby, what's up?" I coo softly, staring at the screen with a small smile.Zach smirks, "Your dress fitting is in thirty minutes madam."Rolling my eyes, I blow him a kiss. "I'm well aware, Sir..." I hold bag and keys up for him to see, "I'm actually going through the door right now."He chuckles, "Okay good. I'll see you at six for dinner babe."Zach ends the call before I can respond. Urrghhh! His tendency to do so really irks my spirit!Bidding Sapphire goodbye, I head to the elevator and press the call button. As I enter and the door is about to close, a masculine ha
