LOGINZARA“Is everything ready?” I asked as I walked through the walkway in the middle of the Cathedral. “Yes,” the event planner I hired for Maria twins' dedication said to me.“Oh okay,” I exhaled, looking around for any mistake her or her team would have made.“Ms. Zara,” she called my name and I turned to her with a little smile on my lips. “You hired us because we are the best, right?”“Yeah,” I nodded.“Then go have fun and enjoy your godchildren's dedication. My team and I got this,” she said and I sighed.“I'm sorry. I didn't mean to….”“It's okay,” she interrupted me softly. “Clients do this all the time and it's my job to keep reassuring you that I'm on point.”“You better be,” I said and we both chuckled, and she walked away from me.“Wow,” I heard Matthew's voice and I turned. “You have really outdone yourself babe.”“Everything looks beautiful mama,” Hazel said.“Yes, Aunt Zara you did a good job,” Annabel said, dragging Hazel with her. “Let's get flowers.”“Be careful!” Lisa
MABELThe humiliation of walking into Ronnie's trap yesterday was hitting me up and I'm finding it very difficult to get up from the bed this morning.It's been close to a week since Hazel and I moved into Matthew's mansion. And apart from my humiliation yesterday, everything has been going smoothly and wonderful.Matthew has been amazing making sure Hazel and I have everything we need. He is a good father, and even better partner.And right now he is trying to get me out of bed and into the bathroom.“I don't want to,” I cried out and pulled the blanket up to cover my face.“You have to,” his voice echoed through the room. “There are a lot of people counting on you.”“Well, that number would have been divided into two after yesterday,” I said and I felt a dip on the bed. I turned around to see Matthew laying on the other side of the bed.“Without the obligation you have as your client's lawyer you wouldn't have taken the meeting with Ronnie,” he said and I sighed.“But I did and now
ZARAI kept looking at the folded message card that contains what could be a trap or a real deal.“It's a trap right?” Claire asked and Vic chuckled.“Of course it is,” Vic said and looked at me. “You are not thinking of going, are you?”“I don't want to,” I said. “But I have to.”“Yes,” Claire nodded her head. “She has an obligation to hear him out for the sake of the client.”“Okay, I know this is my first case and all but screw that. You are walking into an obvious trap and we don't know what you'll be facing,” Vic said, sounding worried.“I agree with Vic on this one. Ronnie could have just texted you to meet him. But he knows you can't decline to see him because of your obligation….”“So, he decided to rub it in with flowers?” I asked, interrupting and she nodded.“Claire, call Boden and Bailey. Tell them about the new development,” I said, handing her the message card that has the location of the meet.“Are you going to tell Matthew about this?” Vic asked and I sighed.“Nope,” I
ZARAI sat at the edge of the conference room's large table looking at the look of disgust on some of my clients' faces including Greta.“This is their only offer?” Greta asked and I nodded my head. One of my clients threw the paper on the table, shaking his head.“No, no deal,” he said, strongly. The others agreed with him throwing the papers in their hands on the table.“I knew that would be your answer,” I said to them. “But as your Lawyer it's my obligation to tell of the offer made by Ronnie Phillips Lawyer.”“This isn't a deal,” Greta said. “This is a mockery. Ronnie Phillips and his Lawyer are mocking us.”“Maybe they are right now. I prepared all of you for this,” I said. “But don't worry, you all will be having the last laugh.”“So, what do you intend to do, Ms. Taylor?” One of the clients asked.“We are going to trial,” I said and there were gasps of relief. “Good, you are all with me because I know we are going to win. The evidence is on our side.”“Then why did the Lawyer
ZARAI exhaled as I watched Matthew walk out of the courthouse with his security team around him, blocking the paparazzi access to him. I just told him I loved him. After years of anger, desire and passion between us. I finally said those words and honestly it felt good, really good.“Our men,” Vic said, standing beside me as Matthew and Evans walked out of the exit door.“Hmmm,” I muttered.“But did I read your lips right,” she said and I turned to her with my eyes widened. “You said it to Matthew, didn't you?”“Yes, I did,” I sighed. “I said I love you to Matthew.”“Hmmmm,” she hugged me, giggling. “How do you feel?”“Free,” I said. “It was like something lifted from me and I feel like I can take over the world.”“That’s what happens when you finally let go of the fear and embrace whatever comes your way.”“Speaking of,” we turned as the door of the courtroom opened and one by one everyone walked in.“Yeah, it's time to win this case no matter what,” I said, extending my hands for
MATTHEWZara kissed me on the lips one more time before walking out of the conference room. I didn't want to go. I wanted her in my arms where she would be safe. Where she won't be eyeballed by Alberta, Ronnie and their cohorts. But there is nothing I was going to tell her she would listen to. She wants to be in this fight, hell, she needs to have this fight with Ronnie and he is going to regret ever hurting her.Evans nodded at me and I walked towards him. “Are we watching the trial here?” He asked, pointing at the mini TV already on.“No, we are going to be in the courtroom,” I said, walking towards the door but he stopped me.“Howard might be in that room,” he said and I sighed, placing my hands in my pocket.“I'm not going to hide from Howard Dewitt, Evans,” I said to him. “He already knows I'm the one behind his seized illegal shipment and he already had me beaten up. What's the worst he can do?”“Have you killed,” Evans said and I chuckled.“Well, with you taking care of my se
