Claimed by the billionaire at the altar 96
Reopening day was here and I was a nervous wreck. In Zac’s true style, he dropped everything he had to do to support my family and I. I wasn’t sure how Nate and his family were going to handle the news. I sent them an invitation but his parents mentioned that they were swamped with work and they had a lot to do. Nate said he couldn’t come either but he sent his best wishes. “I brought flowers,” Zac said, carrying in bouquets of flowers. I smiled. I was so tired and stressed from the workload but the little gesture had relieved me of everything. He also brought some flowers for mama. My strategy was to offer everyone free sample meals because we decided to add new dishes to the menu. And Zac decided to serve as a celebrity waitress. He didn’t exactly like the idea, he was totally against it but he only agreed to do it for a few minutes. I knew there’d be a lot of attention and the press would cover the news but no publicity was bad publicity right? I hoped when they showed what

After papa was discharged from the hospital, his one wish was for us to reopen the restaurant. It scared me because we hadn’t opened in months. After the wedding saga, a lot of people had a lot of bad reviews. Some people had gone as far as dumping trash and writing on the wall of the restaurant, calling me so many names. It was all my fault and I had somehow dragged my parents and their livelihood into this. I sighed as I stood in the front of the restaurant with Zac, staring at the wall. I was called the usual things, a slut and a home wrecker. Seeing those words again hurt me so much.Zac was kind enough to clear his schedule and help me with the restaurant. I assured mama and papa I would handle it myself. What if we opened the restaurant and people attacked us? “I’m so sorry about this, Jane,” Zac said, holding my hand for comfort. “You don't deserve any of this. No one does,”I smiled a little and squeezed his hand back. Things felt better because he was here with me. “W

I don’t know which I liked more, the way Zac drove skillfully with one hand, his muscles flexing or the way his free hand rested casually on my thighs. “Tell me, who do you like?” He said as he turned to a street.Who do I like? Did he want me to admit that I liked him?There was no way he was asking me to choose between him and Nate, I couldn’t do that right now. “Relax,” he smiled. “I was asking who you listened to you,” “Oh,” I heaved a sigh of relief.I liked when he smiled, it was an odd sight but I always remembered it. He had a dimple on his right cheek which took away from the bad boy look whenever he smiled. “I remember you liked one direction,”My eyes widened in shock. There’s no way he remembered. “You performed one of their songs at a talent show in school,”I laughed at the memory. I wondered to what extent he remembered about me in high school. I don’t remember seeing him in the crowd, the talent show was for geeks and nerds. “You remember?” I smiled. “Of

The next day, I decided to go to work. I had a lot of work to do or maybe because I wanted to see Zac. Nate didn’t make me breakfast, he only made it for himself. I hate how mean he got whenever we fought. I would have never done the same thing to him. “Really?” I frowned. “This is very childish of you, Nate,”I watched him stuff his face with eggs. I had gone to bed early because I was hungry and angry and honestly, I was too tired to eat. He doesn’t answer me, he continues eating and scrolling on his phone. “Is this how you’re going to treat our kids when you’re mad at them? Would you starve them of basic things because of your anger?”It was too early to pick a fight but I didn’t care.He looked at me. “That’s different, you know I’d never do that to them.”Maybe he had changed too, maybe he wasn’t who I thought he was.I didn’t fill my car yesterday so I had to wait for him to take me to work.The ride to the office was silent and heavy. When we pulled up to the office, Zac

“Where have you been?” Nate was on the porch waiting for him, his forehead creased with worry. He was still in his work clothes. I hate that I made him worry so much when I was busy cheating on him. Since when did I become a woman that played with peoples feeling? “I’ve been calling you. Why didn’t you reply to my texts?”He looked at me like he was inspecting me. “Have you been crying? Your lips are swollen, what happened?” My lips were swollen from Zac’s kisses. I couldn’t think about that right now. “I got a call that Zac was injured and I had to rush the house and make sure he was okay. I was just too emotional to answer the phone, there was just a lot going on,” I lied.The way the lie left my mouth smoothly almost made me scared. Zac always knew when I was lying but Nate, I didn’t know if he just chose to believe me or if he had doubts. “So you went to make sure he was okay?” He repeated, his face twisted. “He has a million staff and security around him, why do you have

I had a huge smile on my face. Zac reluctantly kissed me goodbye. I had a feeling that it wasn’t going to happen again but I was happy, no regrets at all. When his head was clear, he’d tell him how it was just a brief moment between us and I should get over it but a part of me felt like he was being real.I felt like he wanted me just like the way I wanted him but he wasn’t going to admit it. Who knows? Maybe it’s the same thing he did to other women. He was so skillful and I had almost finished just from him touching and kissing me. If we hadn’t stopped, I would have. I didn’t like the thought of him with other women, it made me sick.Mr Vincent’s words still lingered in my mind. Were Zac and I really on the path to destruction? It was obvious we couldn’t keep our hands and eyes off each other. Even now, I wondered what he was doing, if he was okay and if he was thinking about me too. It was hard to believe that Zac threw a fit because of me. I mean, he didn’t even like me like
