ZACHARY'S POVAfter getting a slap from that crazy woman, I pretty much sobered up. "What the heck was in that slap ?" I whispered under my breath still feeling the stings dancing on my left cheek. I got out of the pool following Hannah inside the building. We both got a spot together and were offered different drinks. Hannah got cocktails while I just got water, I didn't want to earn another slap.We both finally discussed what happened admist the rumors Sinclair spread. Hannah apparently struck a deal with the devil. Hannah isn't allowed to clear up the rumors because she's helping Sinclair with his election so to stir up the rumors she has to keep quiet and might be regularly seen with Sinclair."So to make this clear you can't have a say in the rumors because of the deal with Sinclair ? Why in the world did you make the deal in the first place ?" I asked watching her judge everyone from our spot."Because no matter what amount you have Sinclair might have had the last say. I did
HANNAH'S POVThe moment Zachary sped off my phone rang again, I was hoping to hear from Lilly again so I could easily air her calls but it had to be the one ID I could barely ignore.I thought twice about it, why not air it like Lilly's ? I could just lie I was busy with a mission but it's not like he'll care.Normally Christian never calls me but when he does I never fail to answer it maybe it was an unknown fear ingrained in me to avoid being confronted by him in my bedroom when I was younger, the assumption is ridiculous but it had to stem somewhere."Were you about to air my call ?" I froze when I turned to see Christian standing a few steps away from me. He still held his phone close to his ear lobe wearing that devilish smirk he inherited from his father. "Did you follow me ?" I questioned trying to hide the terror in my voice, he's not even an assassin and somehow he was able to stalk me without me noticing.My palm traced my forehead, am I getting stressed ?How did I not noti
ZACHARY'S POVMy mind dallied on the image of Hannah clasping her hand onto my face. Her hands were glacier cold. It could be as a result of us having a swim earlier, but the feeling of her hands on my face wasn't unpleasant to say the least. Didn't I hate this woman ? Why was I welcoming the idea of us going on dates. And what's up with her uttering those damning words of not being under the influence ?Was this her tatic ? To make men obsessed with her ? Was this how she got Jacob ?I brushed all those irrelevant thoughts, finally I recalled her conclusion, it's not really a conclusion since I didn't confirm if I'll attend Lilly's birthday party. If I remembered clearly I and Lilly weren't that close. She dated Javon and that's how we were once mutuals to each other, I never thought anything about her but Javon's girlfriend until one day I saw her strangling a junior, this was someone who I thought was as dumb and harmless as a butterfly. The Juniors offense was because she was s
HANNAH'S POVA typical Saturday morning, my eyes wind open to my current scenario. My head definitely hurts and that was for having a celebratory drink with Kerry after a mission. It almost cost me my life so Kerry thought we celebrate. My phone vibrated, it's been vibrating for a while but I just ignored it so I could just sleep. I didn't know when I was going to get some shut eye so I better do it now. Sinclair wanted me to make appearances with him today and I couldn't refuse. I had to do some shopping since tommorow is Lilly's birthday is tomorrow so likely we'll both be shopping for Lilly's birthday present.Lilly sent me a list of things she wanted from me like I had the money to purchase all of it since Sinclair happened to be aware of the list he promised Lilly on phone that we'll both check every last thing on the list.This bitch requested for an apartment in one of the most upscale estate in the city. She might have requested the head of her ex boyfriend or something much re
ZACHARY'S POVI'm sure this is what Hannah wanted and I despise her even more. After the show we put up she dragged my name into the mud lying that we both had an affair which resulted to a pregnancy.My name was on the mouths of every person in the city and I didn't have the time to set things straight. Until some investors started hearing the rumors and eating up the bullshit the media glamorized.It's been two days, Tuesday to be exact since the incident. Olivia was in rehab receiving treatment, after the death of Finn she collapsed and woke up in the hospital unresponsive. The shock was too much to handle that she was literally just a doll at this point. I was mostly scared after she threatened to take her own life in the car so I was afraid if she got her senses back, she would commit suicide.I was in my office going through some documents, I've been in the office for an unhealthy amount of time, the moment I left Lilly's birthday party, I went to the company to work, mostly to
HANNAH'S POVGetting the ashes of those loansharks wasn't easy, I mean cremating them was easy but murdering them was another story. I had to strike a deal with Christian, one that me consider death.To get permission to kill those bastards I agreed to escort him for a night. I'll be by his side dolled up while he boast about me to his peers. I should be okay with the deal since he didn't ask for my body but still being in a room with men as the same mindset as Christian is appalling and I might not have the patience to act like a doll if one of them dares try me.So after all my effort Zachary smashes the vase of ashes to the floor with no remorse. I watched as the ashes seeps with the chards of glass."Did you think this was enough ?" He said almost mockingly. "I thought it was." I said trying to hold back my anger. I literally struck a deal with Christian to get those ashes and he purposely dropped the glass. "Well it's not. Leave my company." He hissed as the woman behind him star
ZACHARY'S POVI slid a ring through Hannah's finger, I watched her as she admired the ring. We just got married so I had Tammy pick up some rings the moment we were done. She sat at the back watching the both of us."You like it ?" I asked Hannah who shrugged. "Hmm It looks like something my mother would wear." She hissed. "I'm keeping my last name though." She proclaimed. "You can keep it, your first name sounds average next to my last name." I said while she scoffed at my comeback. "I'll get you a better ring." I said ignoring her gaze, that would be enough to keep her mute for a while. "What size ?" I was wrong she wasn't going to shut up."Does it matter ?" I sighed trying to ignore the question. "Yes it does, the size of a ring shows how strong a marriage will be. All I got was this, it's better than nothing I guess." She smiled still admiring the ring. "It's not like our marriage will last, don't get ahead of yourself." I advised her incase she had forgotten our deal. "Of cour
HANNAH'S POVMy eyes lingered on my uncle, tears welled up my eyes. I didn't know what I felt in that moment, did a decade of foiling my hands with blood just end ?Did it just end after I tried so many times to end it myself ?It can't be this simple."Hannah dear, are you crying ?" My gaze lands on Sinclair who had this signature smirk plastered on his face. "Tears of joy I suppose." He added chuckling internally. I facepalmed myself slowly drying my tears. Zachary stood beside me after putting away the gun. "Are you okay ?" He seemed rather concerned, I sobbed more a bit then started laughing. The situation was too hilarious to cry about."Hannah ?" Zachary voiced probably concerned at how fast I switched from crying to laughing."She's probably lost it." James joked, immediately I stopped laughing, I removed my palm from my face, the look on my face was gloomy and dispassionate."All it took to stop being assassin was for Zachary to hold me at gunpoint ? Did you ever consider the
