Zenia's POV
Two Weeks Later
"Zenia, get your ass up and get out of that bed right now!" my sister yelled as she drew the curtains open.
The rays of sunlight hit my face instantly. I rolled to the other side of the bed with a growl.
"Leave me alone."
"Girl, I'm not playing with you. You've been groveling in your misery for days with the same clothes on. You look like a hobo! Get up, clean yourself up and go do something with your life!"
She pulled me out of the bed and pushed me into the bathroom. She turned the shower on me and I hooted like an injured owl as the cold water washed over me. I quickly switched the water temperature and glared at her. She did that on purpose.
"Have a nice bath," she said before she left.
After my forced shower, I felt somewhat better. I had been crying for days. I ate nothing. I did nothing. I stayed locked up in my room, in bed, crying my eyes out over him and feeling

Zenia's POVI sat down in a near by cafe, having a cup of coffee and enjoying my lonely company. After everything that had spiraled out of proportion with my relationship with EJ, I needed a break to piece myself together.I had seen what my sister did to herself, and I vowed I never wanted to make the same silly mistake, but, for it all, I did exactly that and more. I broke his heart, his trust and his ego.A man's ego is everything.I retrieved my cellphone from my handbag and began surfing through my picture gallery. I immediately came across a picture I took with EJ in bed sound asleep. He looked so peaceful with his hair ruffled on his forehead, his long eyelashes shielding his eyes, his lips looking so kissable and his morning stubble appearing.I scrolled to another picture. It was of me and him by the pool-- the first day he brought me to the house.The memories replayed over and over in my mind. I was m

Zenia's POV"Fucking Madison, EJ! Are you kidding me?" I furiously asked as I got into his office.He was at the computer, typing on the keyboard. His eyes traveled to me and he appeared to be afraid of answering."So you're not going to answer me? After everything you said about her: 'Oh she's just a friend', 'We've known each other since preschool', 'There's nothing between me and her' and 'She's not my type', that was a pile of bullshit because you're dating her now!""Well, unlike you, she understands me and listens to my every word. I don't have to worry because I know where I stand with her." He stood up and walked slowly towards me."Don't you dare fucking get closer to me," I warned. My heart had already gone out the window, and I was beginning to hate him."Zen, I did say that we can be friends. It's much better that way for you and I.""Yeah. The last time you said that, you pinned me against a d

Ethan Junior's POV"You want to talk about it man? You've been looking slumped for the entire morning," my brother offered as I walked into his office to hand in a document.I threw myself onto his couch, feeling defeated and lost."Is this about Zenia leaving?" he asked.I nodded my head yes."You're missing her, aren't you?"I nodded my head yes again."Tell me, exactly, how can you break up with her when your heart still wants her? Is your ego that big?"I eyed him. "I don't know. She hurt me as well and she wanted to play the victim role. Nah, I don't think so.""Did she apologize?""Of course she apologized, Evan.""See, that's the problem right there with you younger generation. It's like the word 'sorry' doesn't mean anything or that it doesn't exist in your vocabulary. She apologized! You should have been the bigger man and accepted her apology and worked things
IMPERFECT Best Friend Chapter 38
Zenia's POVI walked to Anton's car with a teary face and a racing heart. No one loves being or feeling sick. My stomach ached and felt like it was being tied in knots. I had a screaming headache that was worse than any hangover headache I ever had. I felt weak and drained."I'm sorry you're going through this. I'll get you to the doctor and you'll soon be better," Anton kindly said and assisted me with fastening my seat belt.My eyes were closed for the entire ride."Ah, Mr. McCalister. It's nice to see you again," a friendly female doctor greeted. She was beautiful with kind brown eyes and pixie cut brown hair."Hello Dr. Sheridan. This is my friend Zenia, and I'm afraid she is in great need of your medical care," Anton informed. I was wrapped up against his shoulder."Oh dear. Come on, Zenia. Let's get you to an exam room."My legs reacted slowly so it appeared Anton was dragging me towards a wheelchair

Anton's POV:NB: please note this point of view is from Anton McCalister, and in it you'll learn something new about him.I watched from the bedroom door as she slept. So peaceful and unaware.Her cellphone began vibrating on the table near by. Before it could disturb her sound sleep, I retrieved it and, of course, it just had to be that mingling sister of hers. I sent her calls to voicemail so she began texting.Big Sis: Hey Zen, I've got such amazing news.Big Sis: Zen, please call me back. I keep on getting your voicemail.Big Sis: Zen, call me ASAP!!Big Sis: Well since you're not answering, I'm having TWINS!! The other one was hiding so we only found out yesterday.I deleted the messages, switched off her phone and turned around to make certain she was still asleep. And she was. I left the bedroom with the phone in my pocket.I, then, headed upstairs to my own bedroom and co

Zenia's POVI was searching for my cellphone but, everywhere I looked, it wasn't in sight.Where did I put it?While I searched my suitcases, a knock came on the bedroom door."Come in," I gestured."Hey, what are you looking for?""My cellphone. I left it somewhere in here before I fell asleep.""Are you sure?""Of course I'm sure Anton. And what was all that with your father? Why did you just blurt out my pregnancy like that and claim the baby as your own? We never spoke about that, so why would you do that?"I was somewhat angry that he did so without my knowing."I'm sorry. I didn't mean to step out of line." He apologized."Well, you did, and I know you usually don't see eye-to-eye with your father, but you can't use me as a pawn to get on his nerves. The baby is EJ's, and not yours, so you shouldn't have said that to your father. What will he think of me when he fi

Ethan Junior's POV"Evan! Something is wrong with Zenia!" Jasmine called out as she came into the living room where Evan and I were looking at another movie while eating hot Buffalo Wild Wings.By the mention of Zenia's name I froze and grew alarmed."What do you mean?" Evan asked."Well, she called me but when I answered, she wasn't speaking; instead, I heard scuffling noises in the background. I tried calling her back but it's going to voicemail." She sat down between us with creased eyebrows. She called Zenia again and, just as she said, it went straight to voicemail."Evan, something is wrong.""Baby, these things happen. Could be the call connection is dropping.""Evan, I have a terrible feeling that something is wrong with my sister. It's not like Zenia to call me then send the call to voicemail when I'm trying to call her back.""You said you heard scuffling noises?" I asked.

Ethan Junior's POVWith the time difference, we arrived at 9:00 p.m at night. I wanted to head directly to Anton's father's mansion since Dad had located their address, but Evan had told me to stay in my hotel room for the balance of the night and begin first thing the following day.I didn't want to wait.I wanted blood.Blood for hurting the woman I still carried feelings for and carrying a baby. My baby. I was certain."If you don't calm down your anger will get the best of you, and you will let everything blow up in our faces before we even get to Zenia. People cannot know we're here EJ!" Evan yelled when I punched a hole in the wall."What if that was Jasmine? What if she was exactly in Zenia's position while carrying the twins? Would you be sitting still Evan?"I was boiling over with rage, like a tsunami making its way to land. I didn't want to wait; I wanted to find Anton and beat him until h
