Zendaya’s POVI recognized the woman whom I had bumped into so rudely. Mirian was her name and she was my former coworker.Mirian was a self proclaimed queen bee. She has been part of the group of workers who had taunted me numerous times when I was still working in an office.I glared at her as she looked at me from my head to my toe, accessing me before noting that I was dressed exquisitely and clearly I had a life of luxury.I gave her the same look to see she was still dressed like an ordinary person. I could even see a tear on her gown and I almost chuckled when this came into my view.I could see that the woman could not hold her envy as her lips curled into a sneer before I decided to finish this confrontation with a conversation.“I’m on my way out,” I said just as she closed my way with her body.“How are you?” she asked with a smile. I knew she was trying to find out what I was up to but I would not give her that luxury.“I’ve really got to go,” I said looking through the do
“What?!” I yelled in anger. “What is the meaning of this?!”I tried cleaning off the stain before it would solidify to no avail. The damage had already been done.My designer's gown had been ruined. I looked at the person who had caused the damage to see her smirk.“Are you going to get rid of this stain on my dress?” I asked with a plain face. She suddenly got annoyed by that question staring at me like I had hit her with a sledgehammer.“How dare you say such words to me?” she gasped but even a blind person could tell that everything she did was fake.“That was clearly an accident. I had no idea it would resort to this.”Her lies fumed me up even more as I had my fists ready to pummel her face in.“However, if you’re going to be such a worry wart and try to spoil our gathering, then I’ll have no choice but to aid in some way. If you’re going to make me pay for the dress I can do it, money is not a problem for me.”The more she talked the more furious I became.“So tell me how much
While driving home I could only think of the interaction I had had with my former coworkers. They were nothing to me. I could destroy their life if I wanted and I was going to show them just how powerful I truly was.They were beneath me and not worth my time. I had a bigger fish to fry. I was going for my ex husband. He was my target and not these distractions. All I needed to do was bide my time and I would get my revenge on him.As soon as I got home, I found my phone buzzing with messages from Asher. I hissed, dumping the phone in my bag as I headed to the living room to see that Travis was still up and working on his computer.“Hey,” I smiled, heading to kiss him. “You’re still up?”“Yep,” he closed his laptop as he pulled me onto his lap while snuggling his face between my breasts. “You smell nice.”“Thank you.”He looked at the stain on my dress and frowned. “Please tell me this was an accident,” he sighed.“It was. Don’t worry, I didn’t get into any fight.”“Is that right?”“

Chapter 48Zendaya’s POVThe thought of having to say that I would be romantically involved with ashes had me retching as I did not want that to be possible.He irritated me and even when he had caught me off guard with his confession earlier today I was still irritated by everything. I wanted to be done with this and be on my way to the other part of my plan. That was what I wanted. Having to deal with that man and listen to him beg for me to stay with him irritated me.I looked at Travis who laughed and slapped his thigh as he watched me wallow in disgust at my plan. If only there was a way he could help me, I would really appreciate it. The problem was that he could not do anything to Asher.I was the one who would have to destroy him since I knew some of his weaknesses from the past.It did not even need to matter if the weakness then was still around now, I was still going to use them against him.“I’m so sorry about that,” Travis said to me. “I wish I could help you but this is
Chapter 49“I’d like to see you again,” he said as I rolled my eyes at this. I was only hanging out with him to have my revenge, after that I would leave him broken and worse than when I had gotten into his life.“Sure,” I smiled before taking my hand away, hurrying to the door. “Text me.”I entered my car and drove away heading home.I made sure to look in my rear view mirror to make sure I wasn’t being tailed by anyone. He was the president and this made things harder for me. If he wanted he could easily have spies find my location but I did not want that to happen.I got to the house, entering my apartment to see the children already back from school playing with their toys.“Hey mum,” Landon said to me. “Welcome. Where have you been?”“Sorry baby,” I said, kissing the three of them. “I was out with a friend.”I couldn’t tell them that I was with their father. That would raise so many questions that I was not ready to answer yet. The excuse I gave was a better one.When I had showe
Chapter 50Zendaya’s POVTwo nights later I was standing in the back of a restaurant where I had agreed to meet up with Asher. I looked at my watch in anger as he had promised he would not be later but instead I was about to be stood up by this man.I had arrived a few minutes early which was a terrible mistake especially when dealing with an enemy. He was an enemy to me and I was supposed to stick to the script.Why I was behaving like a teenage girl was beyond me.A black car drove across the street, stopping behind a dumpster as a man in a black leather jacket got out of the car and ran through the busy streets.He was in discreet clothings but they were stylish ones.He ran like he did not want anyone to know it was him, with his hands covering his face.He ran to me with a smile as he removed the black glasses he had on before opening the door of the place for me to get into.I entered to find out it was not a restaurant but a food hotel.He led the way, taking me to a room as w
Chapter 51“Stop the car Asher!” I yelled in anger. “Stop this damn car or I will throw myself out anyway.”Asher was visibly alarmed when I had said this as he attempted to calm me down, placing a hand on my lap.“You don’t have to say things like that zen, it’s scary,” he chuckled nervously. “You should calm down and let us go to where I want us to go. Trust me when I say you’ll love it.”“What part of stop the car are you not getting? Do I look like a joke to you? Stop the car, Asher, or I am jumping out!”In a frightened manner, he held me back from moving as he was scared I would actually do it. I struggled against his grip, fighting and kicking against him while he held back, caging me down against the seat to stop me from moving around.“I shouldn’t have trusted that you have changed!” I yelled in anger, struggling against his grip with all my strength but he held me down. “I should have seen you for what you truly are. An animal. You are nothing but a monster. “I pray you get
