Pov: ZaraAlthough I don’t want to go, I’m still angry at how Hana provoked me on the phone call she made.“Linda’s engagement is this weekend. You can set aside some time to come, right?”My heart almost stopped when I heard that. They were formally getting engaged!My hand, which was holding the phone, trembled slightly. I don’t want to return home to see the faces of my so-called family members; neither do I want to see Noah marrying someone else. “Why do I need to go? It’s not like you guys ever considered me as family.”Hana snorted, “Why? Do you still have feelings for Noah? It’s all the more reason you should come. It’ll help you give up on him completely.”“I can’t do anything about this if you put it like that.” I grit my teeth.“Oh is that what’s going on? I see you’ve been working on yourself. You even went to Kai Marshall to make headlines. It’s a pity, he didn’t bother to even look at you. But don’t worry, Linda’s engagement will definitely make headlines. It’ll give you
I turn my head to see Kayden behind, dressed in a black suit as he walked over. His tall stature brought about a king-like aura. His eyes were unwavering, like no one could look deeper in.I felt his hand pushing behind me without much resistance. I did not expect him to be here. Nobody would actually. I didn’t even tell him that I would be coming here.It’s just a contractual marriage. Why would I bother him with something like this?When I looked up, my eyes met his dark, deep eyes that seemed to be staring into mine. He then raised his eyes to look at my father and stepmother with obvious contempt.Hana glared at Kayden. “Who are you?”Kayden nonchalantly glanced over Hana and completely ignoring her, asked me in a cold and sharp voice. “Is this your stepmother?”“Hm.” I made an affirmative voice.Hana indignantly pointed finger at Kayden. “You must be Zara’s boyfriend. Who allowed you to be here?”Kayden held onto my wheelchair and without even batting an eyelid to Hana he said, “
Zara goes inside the bathroom and comes out with a bathrobe on. It displayed her slender legs and she looked very comfy. I couldn’t divert my eyes.“I had no choice but to wear this. Seriously, it’s your fault entirely.”I could only stare at her in the bathrobe with the sash loosely around her waist. If I had not known this woman’s intelligence, I would have felt she was deliberately seducing me.If she is only wearing a bathrobe, it means that underneath was only some lingerie…My body grew hotter, I couldn’t find the heart to look away. My mind was full of her skin and her loose outfit. Reaching in would be so easy…I shook my thoughts away when I heard a knock on the door.“The clothes are here? Quick, bring them in.”I nod and go out of the bedroom to open the door. Since it was a suite the bedroom was inside. I close the bedroom door and sigh heavily before walking towards the main door.However, to my surprise, it was a man with jet-black hair and a pale face. Noah Quinn.As so
Pov: ZaraLater at night, I was sitting in the room looking at my phone, reading the news that was already reporting on Linda’s engagement. The party looked amazing and everybody commented on how beautiful the couple looked.I sigh and opened my Twitter. It is always filled with discussions. However, I came across the thread of Kai Marshall’s official fan club “Kai's Keepers”.“Although I do not think you deserve our Kai, he likes you and so as his Keepers, we will support you.”I was puzzled. What did it mean he liked me…?There were a series of comments below showing bewilderment, confusion, etc. Some were giving us their blessings. What the hell is going on?Just then, Yvette calls me. As soon as I pick up, I heard, “Zara, what’s going on? You’re together with Kai?”“Who’s together with who?” I have no clue what is happening.“Kai just tweeted. You didn’t see it?”Of course, I didn’t. Isn’t that why I’m clueless?Yvette continues, “Everybody is going crazy. It looks like he declare
Henry was already at the door when I arrived home. He had a tablet in his hand. “Sir… it all started when Mr. Kai posted a tweet. He didn’t state anything clearly but the news speculate that he… was…”“Was what?”“Was confessing to Ms. Wilson.”He had to be joking. This is so ridiculous!My frown deepens when I take the tablet from him to see the tweet. There were many comments below his tweet.I think they look quite good togetherThey are so different from the usual famous couple. Not badAs long as Kai wants, we approve. Congratulations on being together.I close the tablet, irritated to see all this.“Sir…”“I thought I told you to stop any news regarding Kai!”Henry was sweating buckets. “Sir, we did. It’s just that this is the first time that Mr. Kai Marshall has announced a relationship, so some tabloids continued.”“Relationship?” I stare at him coldly.Henry realized he said something wrong. “Of course, the reporters don’t know that he’s just joking.”I raise my hand silencin
Pov: ZaraI close the door behind me and try to calm down. Does he know he’s so seductive? I almost got sucked into his whims. I have to be careful in the future.I’m just a normal girl who has little to no experience. But I have needs too! What am I supposed to do if he openly seduces me like that?It takes me a long time to return my heartbeat to normal!The next day, everyone is busy on the set. The scenes were being filmed intensively so that the series could be aired on time.I have a feeling the ratings would soar high.I see Kai from afar.I feel guilty for whatever happened yesterday night. However, he was smiling when he spots me.I focus on reading the script so I don’t make any mistakes. Kai’s voice rings above me. “What, are you avoiding me?”“Uh… No. No, I’m not.”As if reading the guilt on my face, he takes a seat beside me. “Are you really married? You are so young. You don’t look like a married woman.”I hate Kayden to death. He didn’t have to use such harsh words. “So
Everyone had a crazy time and we are going to have a break before starting promotions so everyone let loose. The broadcasting is yet to begin as there is still editing left.Everyone was drunk, and I wasn’t an exception. But after the little episode of puking last time, I held my horses and checked on my drinking.Coming out of the washroom, I couldn’t find anyone else. Even Yvette vanished without a trace.I see some distinguished guards near the door and some roaming around inside. The emblem on the uniform tells me they are Governor’s guards. Is Kayden’s elder brother here?When Kai returned I asked him if the Governor is here and he nonchalantly says “Yes. Is there anything wrong?”“No. I’m just in awe. Each of you brothers are… wow! The Marshalls.”“You like it? You can be a part of the Marshalls too. You’ll see a completely different flavor of life.”I know he is joking with his suggestive stare but little does he know I’m already one-half part of Marshall Family. I’m kind of af
Pov: Kayden“It’s nothing like that but I might get a boyfriend in the future. It’ll happen sooner or later.”I frown. She’s behaving more bizarrely day by day. But when she said she would get a boyfriend something unpleasant happened to me. That I don’t want this.I look at Zara’s lips and suddenly I felt an impulse. An impulse that I didn’t want to curb.I stride to her, grab the back of her head, and went for it, biting her red lips. My tongue swept over her lip and subconsciously slipped into her mouth.Zara was stunned as my tongue invaded her mouth. She stood there frozen as I suck her lips and then her tongue, bringing it into my mouth.She started struggling and I feel her trying to evade me again. I push her towards the wall and press her against it. My hand on her waist inching upwards, sneaking inside her top.Zara started kissing me back and I feel like sucking the life of this woman. Her hands travel my shoulders wrapping them around my neck.My palm traveled upwards lift
