MATTHEW

I watched as her body stiffned at the sound of my words, and voice. She wants me. I know she does. But she is too stubborn to admit it to herself.

She will rather starve herself of the desire, than admit she is falling in love with me all over again. Falling in love with the man that killed her mother in a drunken wave.

A thing I have regretted, and will always regret for the rest of my life.

But I know Zara, she is as stubborn as stubbornness comes. To admit her feelings is to be weak. I should know, my father taught both of us that.

“When you have a better plan of getting the Dewitts to pay for their crimes, I'll be all ears,” she said with a bit of smugness in her voice.

“I have a plan,” I said to her. “And it's the best plan, except you have one, and have been holding out on me.”

“I don't have any plans, Matthew. That wasn't a part of the deal except you ask for it,” she said, and I sighed.

“Well, if you have any other brilliant ideas I'm up for it,” I said. “Because I'm

    MATTHEW“No,” Victoria stopped me as I tried to run after Zara. “You have clearly done enough,” she said and left with Lisa and Claire.“What do you do?” Evans asked me after the ladies were out of sight.“I…uhm told Zara I don't believe Monica did this to her,” I said to him and he groaned.“Man, what were you thinking?” He asked. “I was thinking that I didn't believe her,” I said, defensively. “But that doesn't mean you should have told her that. She's in pain, she's in shock. Whatever her mind is telling her, is the only truth she needs to hear. She doesn't need you attacking her,” he said.“I wasn't attacking her…”“No, you just defended your girlfriend who might have actually done this to the mother of your child,” he cuts me off.I rubbed my forehead, I could feel the frustration bubbling in my chest. “Evans, you don't know Monica like I do. She can seem jealous…”“Seem?” Evans cuts me off angrily. “Remember she just blackmailed you into a relationship with her for what reason

    ZARA“How many shots have you had before you met up with him?” One of the Cops who introduced himself as Officer Tanner asked me.“Three,” I answered, fidgeting with my fingers.“Are you sure of that number?” He asked. I looked up at him because that's the third time he has asked me that. I looked at his female partner, Officer Mayes who whispered ‘ I'm sorry' to me. I shook my head, sniffing. “Yes, three and it's not going to be any different if you ask me a million times.”“You know we can check the cameras in the club,” he said and I scoffed. I could feel Vic and Lisa boiling beside me, ready to rain hellfire on Officer Tanner.“So I'll know if you are lying at the snap of my fingers,” he said, while snapping his finger. The snap of his finger brought me back to the alley. “Okay that's enough!” Vic's voice brought me back to the room.“You haven't once asked her about the guy who attacked her, you haven't even shown your sympathy,” her voice echoed in my ears.“She was drinking!

  • Billionaire's Rekindling Love   100!Taking Back Control!

    ZARAI sat on the hospital bed, listening to every instruction the Doctors were giving to me, answering each of their questions as best as I could. I couldn't help but wonder if this would happen to my baby or Lisa's baby too. Why does this world have to be filled with people who think using evil is the only way to get on top.“Are you listening to me, Ms. Taylor?” I heard the Doctor's voice and it brought me back to reality.“Uhm, Zara, please and yes…. I'm listening,” I said and she nodded. “Why do I need to say yes whenever you ask a question?”She looked at her fellow Doctor and sighed. “Don't worry I can take it, just tell me,” I said to them.“Control was taken away from you tonight and…”“No, no, I wasn't r*p*. I was just roughed around,” I cut her off.“You were assaulted, Zara, and it would have been worse if your friends didn't get to you on time,” the Doctor said and I gasped.“You think he would have gone further,” I held the helm of my dress, struggling to breathe ... .f

    ZARAI continued to struggle with him as these words kept replaying in my head.And then it hit me, sharp and clear, Monica.This wasn’t random. He wasn’t just some stranger at the bar. Monica had sent him. Send him to teach me a lesson.My stomach dropped, fear crashing over me like a wave.I struggled harder, kicking at his leg, twisting my wrists, anything to get free. “Let me go!” I screamed, but the music from the club drowned out my voice.He smirked, his breath hot against my cheek. “She said you’d fight.”And in that moment, I knew, this night was never about tequila, or beer, or even proving something to myself.It was a setup. And I walked straight into it. The world tilted, my vision blurring at the edges. My head felt heavy, and my legs turned weak. His grip on me was too tight, cutting into my skin, and every breath I took came out shallow.Dark spots danced in front of my eyes. I was about to pass out.But then, through the pounding music and the ringing in my ears, I

  • Billionaire's Rekindling Love   98!Beers, Flame, and Betrayal!

    ZARAThree shots of tequila sat in front of us, flames dancing on top like little devils waiting to be swallowed. The bartender slid a plate of lime wedges and something damp to smother the fire before drinking.Lisa clapped her hands like a child. “Oh, this is going to be fun!”Vic leaned closer, grinning. “We have to do it together. On three.”I stared at the glasses, my stomach already tightening. Something about the blue flames made my chest heavy, like they were a warning sign. My gut whispered that this wasn’t just another wild night.Something is about to go terribly wrong, I thought.Vic counted us down, “One… two… three!”, and we blew out the fire before tipping the shots back.The burn was instant. Fire slid down my throat, sharp and raw, and I gasped, slamming the glass on the bar.“Agh,” I groaned, pressing my hand to my chest. “I should have stuck to beer.”Lisa laughed so loud heads turned, while Vic was already reaching for the second round.“No, no, beer is for frat bo

    ZARALisa walked into my bedroom closet with her phone in her hands as I applied lipsticks on my lips.“Everything okay?” I asked her, trying to read her facial expressions through the mirror.“All good,” she quickly placed her phone in the back pocket of her jeans. “The sitter just texted that Annabel is asleep.”“That's a good thing right?” I asked her. “Yeah, it is,” she said and joined and brought her face closer to mine for me to place more lipgloss on her lips.“Your lips will be the first thing the men notice once we get into the club,” I said to her and she laughed.“Oh well, they have to notice something,” she said as Vic entered the closet with her high rise voice.“Okay, our Uber is outside on the porch. Who is ready to turn up?!”“Yeah, I know I am!” Lisa yelled, joining Vic.“Well, I know I'm not ready,” I said and they both laughed.“You say you are not but you chose to wear the most sexy top I have ever seen in my life and a jean that reveals all the hidden figures in
