Zenia's POV
We landed the two magazines Monday afternoon. Ashley and I were in the best of moods for the remainder of the day.
"I have an idea. We need to celebrate this! A guy I've been stalking is throwing a house party tonight for one of his friends. We can go if we want to."
"No, Ashley. I'm not about to go to a party on a Monday night. We got work in the morning, girl."
"Oh, please, Zen. It would be fun, and we need to celebrate this."
"No! We can celebrate this weekend."
"The excitement will be gone by then. We need to do this now, plus, I'm dying to see Alex. He's so damn fine!"
She was holding onto me like a kid begging for a lollipop at the supermarket.
"Okay, fine! We'll go, but for three hours, tops!"
"Sure, sure, sure. Be ready by eight!"
It was the end of the day. Ashley had already left. I locked up, armed the security system, turned off the lights and central ai

She turned to me and gave me a sad look. "What's wrong?""Good morning, Zenia," her melancholy voice spoke."What's wrong?" I asked, studying the man's face."Zenia, this is your father."My brain did a 360-degree turn in my head and my blood came to a boil very quickly."My what?" I asked, still struck at what she just said to me.It can't be."Hello, Zenia," he finally spoke up."Dude, don't you dare open your mouth and mention my fucking name again! Why are you even here?" I was not about to control my anger."Zenia," my mom had a pleading voice and look on her face."Mom! Why is he here?""He came to

Zenia's POVI was steaming from my ears, and drinking three bottles of water wasn't enough to cool me down.The bloody nerve of my pathetic father! Showing up after all these years like he had done no wrong! Asking for forgiveness? Forgiveness my ass!My cellphone started going off with text messages from Jasmine and Ashley.Jasmine was checking in, and Ashely reported that she wasn't feeling well today so she wouldn't be in.I was looking forward to someone to vent my frustrations to, but, once again, I was all alone.I turned on the computer and began looking at funny YouTube videos-- something to brighten my mood.The bell above the door chimed indicating someone had walked in. My eyes shifted from the computer to the door way."Good morning, sweetie.""Sup EJ?""Well, is that anyway to greet your future husband?""EJ, I really don't have time for this. Why are you are?"&nb

Ethan Junior's POVAfter listening to all the teasing from Alex, we went back over to the girls. We drank, ate, talked and played cards. I wanted our moments to always be like this-- double dates: Alex and Ashley, Zenia and me.And maybe, one day, Jack and Madison?It wasn't a secret that I was falling for Zenia. My friends saw it, and everyone around could tell she had an impact on my soul. I couldn't keep my hands to myself whenever I was around her. My lips craved hers and I always longed to hiss her and hold her in my arms.But, for some reason, she just wouldn't take me out of the friend-zone and become official with me.I wasn't an insecure guy who'd go around banging a bunch of random chicks just to feel better about myself. I was a good guy. And I wanted to be that guy in Zenia's life.That late evening, I drove us back home from the park. When I pulled up to the penthouse's compound, I turned off the engine and looked over to

Zenia's POVI remember it clearly.It was November of last year.Haria, Janice and Sacorra wanted me to tag along with them to a Halloween party at a guy's house. Those three girls were wild and ratchet, guys were always in-and-out of them.My best friend, Ashley, hated them, but I never passed any judgement. Everyone is different and makes different choices in life. Everyone wouldn't be a saint, and Ashley wasn't. After listening to her going on and on about those girls, I turned a deaf ear.I got dressed-up in a little Red Riding Hood costume before meeting Janice, Haria and Sacorra outside. I wanted to do something wild and crazy.My sister had left me, and she said she wouldn't be coming back. I missed her badly, and I took it pretty hard when she just turned her back on the rest of us, but I understood why she did it. I hated it though.When I got to the party with the girls, it was already in full swing. Alcohol

I went to the do the thing I loved doing the very most-- work at my boutique. I got started on my sister's wedding dress designs as I hummed along to Rihanna's "Russian Roulette".Ashley came busting through the doors in tears and looking a wreck.I leaped at the sight of her. I had never seen her in such a nasty condition before. I went over to my best friend immediately."Sweetie, what's wrong?" I asked in deep concern, pulling her into my arms for a comforting hug."It's... It's... Alex!" she sobbed."What did Alex do?" I feared her response. If Alex had broken Ashley's heart so quickly, there would be a very serious problem."He....he..... he said he doesn't believe in long terms relationship. He... doesn't want to be

Zenia's POV"Zenia! Zenia, sweetie get in the car.""LEAVE ME ALONE, EJ!" I yelled as I walked along the sidewalk and he drove alongside me in the street in his stupid Audi, matching my pace.How many cars does he own?"Zenia, you're being stubborn. I want to talk to you.""Well I don't want to talk to you!""Damn it!" I heard him yell, and, the next thing I knew, I was upside down hanging from his shoulders."EJ, put me down!" I protested but it fell on deaf ears. I was placed in the car and he quickly fastened my seat belt."Is everything alright over here?" a voice asked as EJ got back in the driver's seat."Yes, officer.""Are you alright, ma'am?" he asked me with concern.He must be thinking EJ is kidnapping me."Yes officer, I'm fine.""Are you sure?""Yes, she's sure," EJ butted in.He eyed EJ and his face quickly became friendlier.&n

Ethan Junior's POV"Mr. Alexander, we'd be more than thrilled to have you as an investor at HT," I said as I shook hands firmly with Mr. Alexander, Vice President of Global and Base Technology."Thank you," he said back kindly.I wasn't afraid of showing my father and my big brother that I was very much capable of getting investors, sealing deals and handling proposals. As a Hollen, it's requirement to be brave, strong-headed and focused.As the party slowly whined down, I went to get myself a glass a water. I bumped into Madison."Hey EJ," she began.I glared at her, remembering that little stunt she pulled this morning with Zenia."Hey Mads," I answered dryly. I tried searching the crowd for Zenia."I have something I need to tell you. It's about Zenia."My blood instantly came to a boil. Madison was my childhood, and she had been my friend all my life, but I was not about to let her drive a

Zenia's POVI had not left the party. Instead, I was inside EJ's bedroom awaiting for him. I was not about to be crumbled and shattered when he hadn't heard my side of the story.I knew he was angry, his eyes said it all, but I needed to stand my ground, swallow up my fears, and be true to myself and him.I sat at the edge of his bed, looking around his bedroom in satisfaction. Everything was neatly arranged and in order-- not a T-shirt on the bed or a book laying on the floor.His bed felt so comfortable beneath me, I couldn't help it but lay myself back."What are you doing in here?"I flung myself up and saw his angry grey eyes staring at me. "I need to talk to you.""Well, I don't wanna talk to you so you can leave.""I'm not going anywhere until you hear me out.""Zenia, I'm really not in a mood for this. I don't want to hear you out.""You will listen to me! You will stand there and listen to everyth
