Chapter 19
Zenia's POV
EJ made a slow approach towards Anton, and I knew what was coming. With the temper he possessed, and the tension coming from him, it was going to get ugly very quickly.
I rushed between them before he got too close to a startled Anton.
"Why are you here?" I asked, trying to direct his attention to me instead.
"I asked you who's this guy?" His dark grey eyes locked onto Anton.
"This is my new friend," I answered.
"I'm Anton." Anton held out his hand to EJ, who only looked at him as if he had the Ebola virus. After a few seconds, Anton pulled his hand back without a returned handshake.
"Why's this dude here with you?" EJ's eyes shifted over to me.
"We got caught in the rain so--"
"And so what? His house doesn't have a roof? Why do you have him up here with you? Oh, so that's why you couldn't answer your phone, huh? You were busy with entertaining this guy, Zeni

Ethan Junior's POV"Don't do this. Just, please, sit back in your seat, and lets continue our dinner."My brother placed a firm grip on my shoulder, stopping me in my path and putting an end to the flaming temper. I had intended to release on that guy.I went back to my seat, scrapping the chair on the floor as I pulled myself up to the table. My temper slowly decreased as I stabbed my fork into the bed of vegetables in front of me."Are you okay EJ?" Mom asked."I'm good Mom."Mom had wanted us to have a family dinner ever since the beginning of summer. But everyone always seemed too busy.Dad was being Dad-- always had something to do. Evan was the same old Evan, CEO of Hollen Tower, and always used that as an excuse to get away from family bonding. Jasmine was busy planning her wedding and being a mom, but tonight my mom had managed to capture us all and drag us to this restaurant for a family dinner.

Zenia's POV"I know last night was irksome, and I apologize for everything, especially EJ."It was Saturday morning, Anton and I were taking a stroll through the park."You don't have to apologize for his behavior towards me. I know he doesn't like me because he believes I'm standing in his way."Sharing a small laugh we walked over to a bench, licking ice cream cones."He does care about you, you know that right?""Actually, it's very complicated between he and I. It's like two steps forward then ten steps backwards. Today we're happy, then tomorrow it's a complete different story. I just want everything to stop or to slow down.""But that's life, Zenia. Nothing is going to stop or slow down for our liking. I was once in your very situation, and I felt like I was going crazy."It then crossed my mind that I never asked him if he had a girlfriend."Do you have a girlfriend?" I spoke

Zenia's POV"YOU KISSED ANTON?!" Ashley asked, a bit too loud for my liking.It was Sunday and she had come over to the penthouse for some girl chat. Of course, just like me, she was always interested in gossip and juicy stuff."Yes, I kissed him," I answered as I watched her trying on my favorite pair of sneakers in my bedroom."What was it like?""Just normal." I hated the feeling that there weren't any sparks, flames or electricity between our kiss."Sounds boring."I scoffed silently to myself.With EJ, our flame was out of this world. The boy knew how to get underneath my skin and have me craving for his lips on mine. Every touch from him automatically made my skin grow goosebumps. EJ was everything."Just don't let EJ find out about that kiss, or else he'll kill that British boy," she added."EJ isn't the boss of me, Ashley, and, quite frankly, I'm really tir

Zenia's POVI sat down on the chair, very close to the table, staring at my reflection in the mirror as if I had never seen myself before. Digesting a successful finish, I rose from the chair, held up the long train of my maid of honor dress and made my way to the limousine that awaited me and Mom's arrival.I stared out the window for the entire ride to the cathedral where my sister would be joined in holy matrimony with Evan Hollen. Their wedding day had finally arrived, and I was rather excited for her. She deserved him, and he deserved her; they made each other happy.I smiled as I thought about Jevan and the potty mouth he possessed. He was such a delightful child and I loved him so much.The limousine came to a halt upon reaching the church. I stepped out and Mom followed suit. I quickly walked to one of the chambers where Jasmine was waiting. She was crying with happiness as I knocked and entered the small room."Hey, so today is the

Zenia's POV"I hate that bitch! She's like a blood sucking tick draining the life from my relationship with EJ. Why can't she just leave us in peace?"I was in a fit of rage and Ashley was finding amusement from it. She laughed lightly as she cut the pattern to her newly designed dress."You're crazy. If Madison was going to come between you and EJ then it would've happened, but he has to allow her to let that shit happen. EJ loves you. I don't know why you're over there acting up like a hormonal baboon.""Ashley! I really don't want any insults. You're not helping.""Zenia, I'm tired of giving you advice and, yet, you do the opposite of what I say. You have to figure out what you want and how much effort you're willing to put in for it."I slid down onto the floor, lowering my head to my knees, calming myself."Stop being a drama queen. You're all mad for absolutely nothing."The door bell chi

I felt the pressure creeping in since I was left in charge of the company. Evan was on his honeymoon with Jasmine.I walked into my office and threw myself onto the chair behind the large mahogany desk. I began flipping through paperwork and documents, which Evan demanded I look into.I noticed there was a board meeting and a deal I had to seal in less than an hour. Gathering myself, and getting my thoughts together, I stood up, straightened my suit and walked into the boardroom."Good morning," I greeted everyone."Good morning, Mr. Hollen," Mr. Alexander answered."Is this some kind of joke? Where's Evan Hollen?" Mr. Alexander's assistant asked while toying with a pencil in her folder. Her hair was pulled into a tight bun and her hairl

Susan Blackman's POVI wanted to yell at him for constantly telling me to do the right thing. I know what the right thing was, I didn't need him to tell me. All the girls knew was that he wasn't there for them as a father should be.I used the hand scanner to unlock the penthouse suite; Martin followed right behind me."I shouldn't have brought you here. Zenia still hasn't warmed up to you, and I don't want to upset her more than she already is.""Susan, I think it's best that you tell her the truth right now. You're the reason why I wasn't there for the girls.""I'm the reason Martin? Oh, of course you would say that because that's all you were always good at, putting the blame on me."He stepped back through the door. "You know what, when Jasmine gets back from her honeymoon, I'm going to tell her the truth. I don't care how she'll feel about you afterwards, but they deserve to know!"He walked out

Ethan Junior's POVI sat still in the chair as my mom and dad sat down on either side of me. I was deep in thought with memories of Zenia.She was really an incredible young lady with the personality of no other. Her smile was what I lived for, and everything about her I needed. I was so foolish, always throwing the damn blame at her when I really was to be blamed for every bad thing that ever happened since our encounter.I loved her. I never said it to her, but now that I was on the verge of losing her and never seeing her again, I knew my feelings was true.Tapping my feet impatiently on the tiled floor, a doctor walked up to us, the same doctor who had been talking with Miss Blackman before rushing away."Hi, you're here regarding Zenia Blackman, right?" he asked."Yes," Mom answered; Miss Blackman was still recovering from her faint."We've settle her heart rate.
