ZACHARY'S POV"Long time no see Zachary." I turned to see Lilly, she can finally look me in the face after ignoring my gaze back at the study room. "Lilly." I paused studying her figure. She had this proud look on her face, I tried my best to dial back my irritation. "You look different." I said hinting on the amount of plastic surgery she had gotten over the years. "It's upsetting that it is the first you notice after all these years. Don't you know anything about decency." Lilly said walking closer to me than she should. "I hope you show decency as well acknowledging the fact that I'm married." I said as she looked distraught. "Of course, we are mutuals once again after all." She said recalling our relationship with Javon. "Yes mutuals." I said and turned to meet Hannah who looked disturbed. "I'm going to pack a little and leave the rest for my uncle." She said as her gaze met Lilly. I always thought, Lilly and Hannah were close. Maybe that was all for the camera, they fooled ev
HANNAH'S POVZachary went to his meeting while Tammy escorted me to the interview. The moment we arrived at the interview I had to change into an white Ivory draping blouse with a navy blue patterned overlapped skirt along with an aqua anklet strap clogs.I had Tammy on standby the entire interview though she wasn't sitting next to me she kept me focused the entire interview since the interviewer didn't know a thing about respect.The interview ended by 10pm, since it was streamed a number of 300k viewers tuned in live. The interviewer was pestering me if I could appear more often and I kindly declined, why would I come back here when he was fucking disrespectful. All that matters was that I got what I came for which was the audience and in a matter of weeks our precipitous marriage would be in the mouths of the public. I was met with Tammy in my dressing room, she went back there to wait for me when I was done with the interview. The way she acts around Zachary is obvious, she poorl
ZACHARY'S POVAfter the previous meeting with the directors I was couped up in my office because shutterbugs swarmed the outer walls of my company. I couldn't do anything but attend to more work until I got burned out. Tammy noticed and volunteered to get me home by acting as a detour, I wasn't comfortable knowing my secretary might be exposed to possible dangers. Some of these shutterbugs were disrespectful and entitled to take pictures of you without consent and sometimes get aggressive.I advised her to sneak out while I did the same with the help of the help of the Janitor. We had to leave my car behind and met up in the somewhere a bit far from the company. I planned on taking the subway while Tammy concluded on an Uber. I stayed with her till her Uber arrives. "Thank you for today." I said, the way she immediately turned to look at me was dainty, I couldn't hold back my small smile. "O-of c-course, you're my boss Mr Zachary. I'm expected to do these things." She stuttered at fir
HANNAH'S POVThere I was with my uncle and two of his known lawyers, they passed me the amendment of my contract for my inheritance. "You know what to do." My uncle said handing me a pen as I scan through the uneccessary 25 page paper work of a contract, he just had to state our agreement and not let me force my brain to make sure there isn't a trap."How is your health Hannah ?" Earl, one of the lawyers asked, I nodded affirming that I was well."Isn't it rude not to use words ?" My uncle said glaring at me. "It's not like you will punish me if I don't suck up to the ass of your peers." I said watching my uncle's face grow irritated, I tried to hold back my smile I just used up my only chance to piss him off, if I tried any harder he will tear up the contract right now. I resumed going through the contract admist the awkward silence in the atmosphere. "Who's the man outside ?" Kelvin the other lawyer asked. "A friend." I answered."You shouldn't keep male friends when you're married."
ZACHARY'S POVThe Mendovas are corrupt people and there are many rumors that surround them. There is a rumour of Hannah being the queen of the shadows, it referenced her job as an assassin so many people thought she was a prostitute who lured men to the Mendovas, her reputation with men didn't help her case so people immediately believed it. It's more darker than they thought, who would believe that the fragile woman in bed is a murderer ?Some would think it's a joke, while others will think it's true. Like me I started believing the rumors surrounding her as an assassin after I saw her inflict pain on a student.What made it so hard to believe she was an assassin ?Hannah does sleep with some clients working with the Mendovas but when the clients are not longer useful, it's her duty to eliminate each one of them. They never made it alive to tell their story so the rumors of her being an assassin was brushed off.The reason my parents especially my father despise the idea of our marr
HANNAH'S POVThe moment the black benz collided against the right side of the car. Shards of glass chaotically spread through the car. Zachary was breathing heavily, I could feel every hard gasp that came out of his lips. He started coughing, I proceeded to put my arms around him so I could pay him but I felt a little bits of shard dust and cuts all over his back along with a little bleeding. "Zachary are you okay ?" I asked still out of breath. Out of nowhere the car that collided against us had a loud bang from the trunk. Soon smoke started coming out of the truck, seeping it's way into our car. "Jacob.." I yelled but didn't get a reply, I heard some painful hiss but that's it, I assumed he was knocked out. "Zachary.." I muttered getting the same painful hiss. I tried opening the door of the car but it was stuck. I moved Zachary a bit to open Jacob's side of his car as well but it was stuck.Great, the two of them were temporarily unconscious and we're stuck in this damn car.I trie
ZACHARY'S POVMy eyes flutter opened to be slightly visually impaired by the harsh surrounding of sharp contrast of white. I shut them close once more dialing back irritation to open them once again to catch a glimpse of my surroundings.I look around spotting a bed next to me, Jacob was strapped down with an oxygen mask sleeping soundly. We were the only ones in the room, I tried moving my body but I couldn't even lift a finger.Anger washed over my face, why was I fucking numb. Like a headache it all came back one by one.If it wasn't for Hannah's crazy idea we wouldn't be in this mess, I'm immobilized, Jacob is unconscious and Hannah is…..Where is Hannah exactly ?I hope she has it worse than me and Jacob, I doubt anyway, I was her sheild during the accident, I got all the cuts and injuries. While Jacob who sat at the front faced a more dangerous fate since he sat at the front, the airbag might have gone off when he passed out and crushed his lungs or something. That's something I
HANNAH'S POVLilly sat down next to me on my bed. She was busy scrolling on her phone while chatting with who ever seemed to amuse her at the moment. She's been in my ward for the past three days. She was the only one allowed to visit me apart from Zachary.She claimed Zachary gave her the permission to to spend time with me when I rather spend it with a nurse or another patient. Unfortunately, I was the only patient in my ward. I preferred being lonely at this point. Zachary, neither Jacob paid me a visit. I asked Lilly about the both of them and the only reply I got was they were both sharing a ward and Jacob was in a coma.I wish I was in a coma right now.Lilly chuckled once more tapping loudly on her phone, I sighed loudly just so I could make her feel guilty for being a bitch. "I don't care.." she immediately muttered, I rolled my eyes at her, grunting loudly this time. "Hey, be grateful I'm in this lousy hospital with you, I'm supposed to be at work you know. Lousy bitch." She
