Kiandra took a deep breath and she rubbed her temples with her fingers. Even though Zendaya didn’t mention it all the time, Kiandra knew her daughter was curious about why she had no father. Kiandra had never explained to Zendaya about her father, mainly because she couldn’t explain to her daughter that her father tried to kill her and also because she didn’t want to lie to her daughter about Lucas.When the time came, she would tell her daughter the truth and let her decide what she wanted to do.So Zendaya didn’t want to go to daycare because she felt intimidated by those who had fathers. She would have to talk to her daughter about this and manage to make Zendaya get over her fear.Taking another deep breath, she walked out of the room and went to meet Zendaya, who had taken her seat at the dining table.She then proceeded to serve her food, after which she sat down beside her. “Hey, do you want to talk about it?” she asked her daughter in a calm voice.“No,” Zendaya answered, sha
****Thirty minutes earlier. Zendaya watched as her mother worked on the computer in boredom. She would have gone to her if not for the fact that she was scared of her mother sending her to the hospital.She didn’t like going to the hospital because of the doctors, nurses and injections they always gave her whenever she landed there. Zendaya opened her mouth to tell her mother that she was bored but her mother was busy and she didn't want to go to the hospital.An idea suddenly popped into her head. She quietly got down from her seat and tiptoed to the door. Zendaya looked back to see if her mother noticed her at the door but Kiandra was so engrossed in her work and the fact that there was a huge computer screen in her front only obstructed her.Zendaya saw that the door handle was higher than her reach, and so she quickly went back to get her lunch box. Her growth was affected due to what had happened to Kiandra while she was still in the womb and so, she was smaller than an averag
“I love the name,” Lucas sighed in resignation, and Zendaya clapped in excitement. Her eyes went up to his hair and he smiled. “We have the same hair colour,” he said what was on the girl’s mind.“Our eyes too,” Zendaya pointed out, and he nodded. “I’m bored,” she said out of nowhere. As a normal child, she had a short attention span, and so she was tired of playing the piano.Lucas was clueless when it came to entertaining a child. “Hold on, I’ll be right back soon,” he said, and he left the room. Rushing to his room, he picked up his laptop and rushed back down to the music room, where he found Zendaya seated on the floor with her food in front of her. Not thinking twice, he went and joined her on the floor. “Do you want to eat?” she asked, offering her food. “No, eat your food,” he replied.“Have you had breakfast?” Zendaya asked curiously, and Lucas shook his head. She got up from her seat and pushed the toast into his mouth, shocking Lucas. “Mummy always tells me to eat breakf
Jealousy immediately hit Kiandra and she subtly turned and glared at Lucas while wondering what he had done to Zendaya to make her change so much. “Shall we?” He asked and she nodded. Without wasting time, they both left the room to Lucas’ study. Lucas was the first to enter the room after which she entered. She closed the door and when she turned, she found Lucas standing too close to her. A gasp escaped from her lips and she instinctively moved back, her back hitting the door.The smile Lucas had on his face only made her more nervous as she knew it wasn't a good thing whenever Lucas smiled. What devilish idea had he come up with to torment her this time? She asked herself.“S-sir?” she stuttered. Damn!!! Why was she stuttering? That would only add to Lucas' ego.“Why do I get the feeling that you didn’t like Zendaya talking with me?” Lucas asked straight to the point. He wasn’t oblivious to the stiff body language and the subtle glares Kiandra gave him while they were in the musi
Daira looked at her phone with a dumbfounded look on her face as she was still trying to understand what had just happened. She was in the middle of a photoshoot when she received Lucas’ call. Lucas hardly ever called her and so, she was excited to see his call. The excitement however died down when she heard a voice in the background before the call got disconnected.That was definitely a woman’s voice she had heard. A frown then appeared on her face as different thoughts started coming to her mind.She was no fool not to know that Lucas wasn’t in love with her but she was hoping he would come around one day but in the meantime, she was expecting him to respect their relationship and not cheat on her.“We’re done here,” Daira said to the photographer. He had been taking photos for over thirty minutes, he should have had more than enough shots of her and so, putting an end to it shouldn’t be a problem.The door to the room opened and Arabella Fraser-Gerano walked in with Isabella Ge
Daira didn’t think too much of his words and so she left without any trouble as she wanted to get ready for their dinner.However, as soon as she got into her car, the smile that she had on dropped and she picked up her phone and called a number which picked up on the first ring.“I want you to kill someone. I’ll send you the details and I want the job done tonight,” she instructed the person and disconnected the call.Contrary to what she portrayed herself to be, she was no fool not to realize that Lucas' executive assistant would be a problem in her relationship with him.He had broken a lot of his rules for her and that already said a lot. He had done for that woman what he hadn't done for her ever since their alliance was formed and this was more than insulting to Daira. No problem, she would get rid of this thorn as well just like she had gotten rid of other thorns who were a threat to her and Lucas being together.Naturally, there were a lot of women who even after knowing that
“Make the eyeshadow more bold, and why the hell is my lipstick not red enough?!” Daira snapped at her makeup artist who internally rolled her eyes. To the entire world, she was the sweet and innocent Daira Atkinson who couldn't hurt a fly but those who worked closely with her knew just how much of a spoilt and annoying brat she was.“Yes ma’am,” the makeup artist replied as she had no other choice and she got to work. As soon as she was done, Daira looked at herself in the mirror once more and she was satisfied with what he saw.“Hmm, it’s good, now you all should get out of my room!” she ordered and the people who were there didn’t have to be told twice as they had been itching to leave the room ever since they came in. Daira smiled to herself as soon as she was all alone.She was a beautiful woman and with this makeup, there was no way Lucas would be able to resist her. She got up from her seat and took off her robe which had been covering her dress, which was guaranteed to draw Lu
As soon as Lucas disconnected the call, he tried calling the guard's number once more to see if he could get across to him. However, just like the previous times, the guard didn't respond to his call.Taking a deep breath he proceeded to call Spider. The latter picked up on the first ring. "Yes sir?" Spider inquired.“I need you to trace Kiandra’s number right now,” Lucas ordered his head of security.“Hold on sir,” Spider then and Lucas heard him picking something up which he assumed to be his laptop. The traffic started moving again and Lucas continued to drive. “Found it,” Spider said after five minutes. “I’m sending you the location now.“Hmm,” Lucas responded, and he disconnected the call. He immediately clicked on what Spider had just sent him and he saw it was a map of where Kiandra’s phone was. He immediately connected his phone to his car system. “Take me there,” he said as he came out of the traffic.He then drove like a madman, breaking at least five traffic rules. He di
