Claimed by the billionaire at the altar 68
I decided to go to the office. Zac and I rode separately. I made an excuse of my tummy hurting and he eventually left because he had a meeting at nine. I had been avoiding him because I was scared I wasn’t going to be able to resist him. Everything reminded me of him. The plants he got because I mentioned I liked gardening, limited editions of books, even his clothes that I wore at the hospital. I didn’t return it and I wore it to bed almost every night because it still smelled like him even after washing it. I spoke with Dr Harisson again and she said out of sight, out of mind. However, I didn’t explain my living situation or more context to her because I figured she might know who I was. I had underestimated the level of popularity I had gotten from the scandal until when I went to the hospital to see papa and someone recognized me and asked for a selfie. It was awkward. Most people rolled their eyes at me or shot me dirty looks which I was now used to. Dr Harrison also recomm

In the afternoon, I decided to go see papa at the hospital. We had a lot to catch up on. Mr Vincent drove me to the hospital. Now, we were driving in one of Zac’s bullet proof cars. With Mr Burke still furious, no one could predict what he was going to do next. Papa looked healthier, his smile was bright just like it used to be and it almost brought tears to my eyes. There were no tubes connected to him, he could now walk by himself and the nurses said he had already made a few friends around the hospital. A few months ago, I thought I was going to lose him but seeing him now gave me hope. The doctors were just keeping him around for observation and he’ll be discharged soon.He pulled me in for a hug. I could tell he wanted to cry but he was holding himself back. “My daughter,” he smiled. “I’ve missed you so much. You’ve been causing a lot of trouble on the internet with that young man, huh?”I laughed. I knew papa was definitely going to bring up Zac. “I saw it on the news the

The next day, I decided to stay in while Zac went to work. The situation with Zac and Nate had put me in a tough position and I spent the night, tossing and thinking of the right thing to do.By 4am, I made a con’s and pros list. With Nate, I was guaranteed consistency, no drama and happiness which was what every normal human wanted. The only con was that he didn’t make me feel the way Zac made me feel. With Zac, he made my world shake with electricity, I felt things I’d never felt before. The cons were a lot. Inconsistency, a future with a lot of drama and the major one which was the fact that he never saw me the same way I saw him. I took the engagement ring and attached it to my necklace like a pendant. I couldn’t bring myself to wear it on my ring and the guilt of not wearing it was consuming me. What was I going to do?I had no one to talk to about this. Papa and mama were busy sorting things out as they planned to reopen the restaurant and my friends weren’t the best option

I had so many questions for Nate and at the top of my list was how he got into the house. Security was really tight, nate couldn’t just barge into the house whenever he wanted. Zac left us alone in the kitchen. If looks could kill, Nate would have probably killed Zac.My cheeks flushed red with guilt, embarrassment and the warmth of Zac’s touch. “What was the meaning of that?” Nate demanded again “It’s not what you think, Nate,” I said quickly. “I was just emotional about what is happening to my parents and Zac was offering me comfort, nothing more,”Nate hissed. “With the look in his eyes, I can tell it was more than comfort. You must be very careful with that man. You’re a virtuous woman, you should let him touch you like that,”Was I really a virtuous woman? Sometimes, when I think about Zac, I imagine a kind of sex that felt too sinful to think of. The kind where I was screaming and he was doing things to me that I’ve never done before. I’ve never thought of Nate that way. Sex

By afternoon, I had cleaned up and I felt better. As expected, Zac and I were trending. Mr Burke put out a statement saying that it was just a minor misunderstanding in the family. He wanted the public to see him as a good person. He also referred to himself as Zac’s foster father. Rosa Gonzales wasn’t having any of it. Papa and mama had called, expressing their displeasure. Papa warned me about confronting Mr Burke, he said he wasn’t a good man and he’d do anything he can to get back at me for offending him. The only person who hadn’t called was Nate. I was certain he had seen the news and his parents had a lot to say. I was more concerned about Mr Burke's reaction to finding out I was an Ackerman. How did he know my fathers name? Surely, they knew each other or something else was going on. Whatever it was, I was going to make sure I got to the bottom of it. Zac came back home an hour later. He brought Chinese food from the restaurant he took me to. It was just what I needed.

The next morning, I woke up with the worst headache ever. I wanted to throw up, my tummy hurt, everything hurt. One thing was certain, I wasn’t going to drink alcohol ever again, that thing was terrible. I tried to get out of bed but I feared I was going to fall. The loud knock on my door sounded like it was going on in my head. “Come in,” I managed to say “Look who’s awake,” Zac said, staring at meThe details from the previous night were now a blur and I hoped they remained that way. From the way he looked at me, I could tell I had said something or maybe done something. I avoided his eyes, I didn’t want him to see me this way. “I brought you chicken noodle soup,” he said as he placed the soup on my table. “It’s going to help with the hangover, you have to drink lots of water too.” “Thank you,” I murmured. I wasn’t sure I could eat the soup, I feared I was going to throw it up. “I’m going to the office today, I have a few things to sort out,” “Oh,” I didn’t hide my disap
