Zane's POV.I have learned many important things in life. How to build a company from nothing, how to sit in rooms filled with powerful men and never flinch.I learned how to smile when I was bleeding inside but one thing I had never learned was how to pretend in my own home.The only thing that had my attention was the laptop that was placed in front of me. I noticed that Laura was coming towards me, like she always did when she wanted something from me. I knew that she was coming to demand more things from me because that is the only thing she ever does. She does all of it with a fake smile, I am the one who works but she's the one who spends all the money.She stood in front of me and she intertwined her fingers with mine as though we were some kind of lovers who shared so much love between each other, and not two strangers that were trapped in the same space. “Zane. You have been distant all day. Have you forgotten that you are my husband?” she said in the sweetest voice ever an
Vanessa’s POV.The restaurant Lucian took me to was exactly how I liked it. Very private and very warm. It wasn't loud. Neither was it crowded, I admired the low lights as the sound of the soft music filled my ears. Overall, the restaurant was the kind of place anyone could come to if they just wanted to feel safe for a few hours.“Are you okay?” Lucian asked and I looked up at him. Ever since he came into my life. He has been everything that I have ever wanted in a man, he was so observant and caring towards me.“Yeah. I'm okay, probably just a little bit tired.” I said and I noticed the way he studied my face like he actually cared about the answer I gave to him.“You know that you don't have to pretend with me.” he said and his words alone made my heart skip a beat.It felt as though there was someone else apart from me that could actually understand my feelings better than me.Lucian had been nothing but gentle with me since the day we reconnected. Probably he was just trying to
Damon's POV.Sabrina slammed the car door harder than I had expected. The vibration filled my ears.I knew how her anger was so I had advised myself not to say anything to her. Instead I just started the engine of my car and zoomed out of the parking lot.I didn't fail to notice the way she crossed her arms and looked out of the window. Her lips were pressed together as though she wanted to say a whole lot to me but not at that moment.She needed me to ask her what was wrong with her and if I did not do as she wanted, then there was definitely not going to be any peace between us. So I finally spoke up. “Are you going to tell me what that was about?” I asked finally.At first it was silent, because she didn't give me an answer. And I knew better than to press harder.“Sabrina, I am talking to you. At least give me an answer.”“Don't.” She said and she turned towards me. When I looked at her I could see anger in her eyes and that single word she said just told me everything that I nee
Vanessa's POV.I was seated in my car, lost in my own thoughts. I heard a knock on my car window and I turned to see Sabrina. Obviously, it wouldn't be anyone else other than her because she always showed up uninvited.I knew what she was coming for. To banter words with me just like always but this time around I was not ready to do all of that because my head was already filled with so many thoughts that I didn't even want to think about but I had no other choice.My chest felt tight because I had purposely refused to feel things anymore. And the last thing I needed was her voice trying to disturb my peace.“Well, look at you, you're still standing strong even after everything. I'm really impressed.” she said, her eyes scrutinizing my body intensely.I removed my face away from hers, because I didn't want to give her the impression that her words actually mattered to me.“Say what you came to say Sabrina. I'm already tired.” I said calmly and she chuckled at my words.“Hold on a min
Vanessa's POV.Just before I entered the courtroom. My mind wasn't at peace and I decided to redial the unknown number again as I pressed my phone to my ear. And for the first time today, the number rang.And then, I heard a faint sound. Not from the phone in my hand but from close by. I turned around, only for me to see that Damon was standing behind his car now, his own phone was pressed to his ear. And he didn't say a word, instead he just smiled and the discovery sent shivers through my body.It was at that moment that I was fully convinced that it was him. It had to be him. But all I needed to know was prove that he was the one stalking me otherwise all my accusations will end up being null and void without any evidence.I entered the courtroom and I tried my best to focus on the judge, the papers, the signatures that would end it all. But whenever my phone vibrated against my thighs, I would flinch as though I was scared of something.Obviously I was scared of the unknown number
Vanessa's POV.I woke up feeling a little bit uneasy. I felt the kind of ache in my chest that told me that today would leave scars on me that I wouldn't be able to wash off.I was to appear in court by 10am and my divorce with Damon was going to be finalized. It was going to be an end to years of betrayal, disguised as love to me. I was supposed to feel extremely free but then I felt as though I was still haunted by everything that had happened in the past.My phone buzzed in my hand, snapping me from my thoughts back to reality as I looked down at my phone to see the unknown number that didn't want to leave me alone. This number felt like a pain in my life, that didn't want to go away. I picked up the call and tapped on the loudspeaker.“Hello?” I said but I still received silence as usual and I just heard the sound of my own breath echoing at me. I hung up the call instantly and I tried to call back, but the line didn't connect. I felt a chill course through my veins and I felt li
