“Jane, why the fuck?” Nate yelled over the phoneIt was 9:15am in the morning, day three of working for Zac. The blogs already posted a picture of Zac and I entering the building. Nate wasn’t having it. In the picture, Zac was holding my hand, to make things worse, we had on matching clothes.I rubbed my forehead tiredly. I knew I was going to have a headache soon. The blogs weren’t helping either, another hate train rained down on me. It was rather ironic that Zac wasn’t receiving any hate, people said he was a man, that was how they behaved. “I’m just working for him,” I said for the umpteenth time. “There’s nothing going on between us. You know how blogs like to twist everything.”Zac was seated across from me, sipping his coffee. He was flipping through a newspaper. How could he be so calm? I understood that he was used to being in the blogs for horrible reasons but none of these things were funny. “He’s the enemy,” Nate hissed angrily. “How can you be cool with him after wh

The staff at Zac’s office were polite. They wanted to hear me talk more about my career. It was interesting and refreshing, considering the fact that I hadn’t really been in contact with people for a while.I was scared that they’d attack me but they were respectful and compassionate. “Everyone loves you,” Zac did to me when we were in his office.I smiled proudly. “Honestly, I was a little nervous. You have an amazing team,” “You were amazing out there Jane,” “Thank you for the opportunity,” I smiledI wouldn’t stop smiling, my face hurt from it but I was proud. Zac was someone I looked up to when it came to business and careers, getting such validation from him meant a lot to me especially because he almost never gave people compliments: “You don’t have to come to work everyday,” he said as he began packing up his briefcase. “You can come in on days you choose.” I frowned. “Why?” “I just want you to have free will. It’s your choice.”He clearly didn’t know me. I was dedic

The conference room was already half full when we walked in.The glass walls framed the space, making it feel open but intimidating at the same time. A long marble table stretched across the room, tablets and notepads neatly arranged in front of every seat. Conversations died instantly the moment Zac and I stepped in.“Good morning,” he said, calm and commanding.A chorus of greetings followed as he pulled out a chair for me, just beside his own. I could feel his staff watch us like a hawk watched its prey. He glanced at me briefly and then he looked at his staff to address them. “This is Jane Ackerman as you all know.”No titles, no description. Of course they all knew me as the husband snatcher. A woman in mid-thirties with a sharp blazer and tired eyes stood up.“This is about the Power App relaunch,” she began. “As you all know, downloads have dropped by forty percent in the last six months despite the increased ad spend.”The screen changed to graphs and numbers.

Gonzales Inc was the future. Zac won businessman of the year for five years in a row and he deserved it and more. He had done such amazing work from where his father had stopped. The building was a five storey building. It had a sleek elevator and the office was designed in such a modern way. The environment was conducive for staff, there was a games room, free lunch and a lot of bonuses for the staff.I was impressed. It was no wonder why they had thousands of internship applications every year. Thinking of it, I should have definitely accepted the internship when I was offered. I might have been on a different floor from Zac so I wouldn’t have to deal with him. I could feel everyone’s eyes as we walked in together. Zac took my hand and squeezed it tightly. Ever since the wedding, I had developed a fear of crowds. The wedding day was still fresh in my mind. Pairs of eyes were in me, tearing me apart. The pairs of eyes in Zac’s office were curious, observant but not cruel.My should

The following Monday, Zac asked me to come with him to work. I don’t hesitate to say yes even though I know he only wanted me to come with him because he knew I was going to dig deeper into finding evidence against Mr Burke. Gonzales Inc was one of my dream work places. I applied for an internship once and I got in but I never took the offer because I found out that Zac was working there actively. Back then, I wasn’t ready to face him.I decided to wear the same cloth I was abducted in. I had not used the card that gave me to purchase anything because it felt like he was compensating me for the mess he put me in. I was excited to go to work. I missed getting ready, my morning coffee and attending meetings. “We have our first meeting by 10am today,” Zac said once we were in the car. “We have issues with our recent campaign.”Coincidentally, we were both matching. I had on a white button up shirtband black pants, so did he except he had a time and I didn't. “By 12am, a company wil

We stood there for a long time, hand in hand saying nothing. The silence wasn’t awkward, it was calm and comfortable. I tried to imagine what Zac’s childhood was like before his fathers death. A little handsome boy, running around, Rosa looking as beautiful as ever and Mr Gonzales, an older version of Zac. It was a beautiful thought but when Mr Gonzales disappeared from the thought, it made me sad. No one deserved to lose their loved one. After a while, Zac let go. We spread a blanket in the open field. He opened the picnic basket I brought. Rosa told me someone of his favorite things to eat so I brought them along. I was satisfied with the little smile on his face. “You didn’t make these yourself did you?” He teased me. “If you did, can I confirm that my house still exists?”I laughed. My cooking wasn’t that bad. “I made your favorite. The strawberry milkshake.”Making the milkshake that afternoon made me realize how much I had grown, how I had forgiven him. After the incident,
