Zerah

Her words rang, voice wooden and final.

I was stunned in place, the words I was about to say stuck in my throat.

What was she saying?

"W..What? What do you mean by that, you told me–"

“You're mistaken ,” she snapped, making me rear back.

“I have no idea what you're talking about. I didn't tell you anything and you didn't promise me anything. It's better you forget and drop this before you get us both in trouble.”

Soon after, she wrapped her arms around her body like she was cold. It was summer.

The anxiety that had brought me here made my gut twist. She was afraid, and I wanted to do anything I could to help her.

“Listen, Elena. I know you're scared—

“You don't know anything, Zerah," she cut me off again, voice sharper if not for the crack,

“Not about me or what I'd been through. Not about the pain, the desperation. The suffocating feeling about being in a situation where you can't get out. You don't know about how it feels when every single door in your life is sl

  • Losing Ryker: The Billionaire's Second Chance    Chapter 70

    ZerahThe drive back to my home, if one could call it that, seemed to span an eternity in the silence. My hands were tightly clenched around the steering wheel.The echoes of the panic I'd felt in the parking lot earlier still rang through me. I couldn't deny that I was slightly shaken, but it wasn't jarring. Not when i'd expected it. Not when I'd already been warned.FLASHBACK: THE COFFEE SHOP I stood up to leave when Elena suddenly grabbed my arm. “Wait,” she said, her voice more urgent. My breath hitched as she pulled me back, leaning in.“Sit down.” She whispered an urgency in her tone that made me alarmed.What was wrong? My gut coiled in anxiety as I obeyed.“There's no way he doesn't know about this meeting. With the people following me, he… he'll probably have predicted why I'm here.” she said, her expression shifting into something unreadable.“If he knows, then he might go after you. He might try to take...” she trailed off, but the insinuation was clear.My skin pric

    Zerah My gut tightened at her words. Before I could reassure her, she raised her hand with a bitter smile. “I know it won't, this is just a precaution. I'm grateful for this and for you…but I'm still selfish, and I have my fears and doubts. If it comes crashing down, not just me but my family will be hurt. I have no doubt that he's capable of that,” she said, “So please, on the probability that this doesn't pan out and he wins, I need you to promise me that nobody will know that I'm involved. We never spoke of this and I never gave you that drive. Even when this goes public, promise me that I'll remain anonymous. Can you do that?” I stood there, frozen, as Elena's words hung in the air. As I looked into her eyes, I saw the depth of her anxiety. The decision solidified. I had promised to help her and protect her. I also had to ensure that she wasn't caught in the crossfire. I nodded. “I promise. You'll remain anonymous,” I promised sincerely. There was the question of what e

    ZerahFor a moment, it was like I'd stopped breathing. Shock ran through me like a tidal wave as I replayed those words over again in my head. A video of Robinson threatening her. A piece of substantial evidence. It may be one incident, one piece of evidence, but a single incident was all that was needed to crumble someone's reputation. For someone like James who was in his high, propped up by the press at this time, it would change everything.This could be everything we needed. “Zerah.”I was snapped back to reality at the call of my name. Looking back at Elena, her dark eyes clearer, it was like a weight had been lifted from my chest.“Where is it?" I asked. My voice came out slightly more eager than expected but it was too late to back track.Elena's face shifted a fraction. She leaned back in her seat and panic filled me. “Wait. I'm sorry if I startled you. I didn't mean to.” I rushed out. I couldn't let my abrupt reaction drive her away. Her only response was a brief shak

    Ryker“Mr. Davidson!” Jason snapped, quickly pulling me out of my trance. I blinked back to reality to meet the glow of sundown.It was already evening, I noted listlessly.Hours had passed, nearing the full day, yet nothing had been solved.Turning back to the two people in my office, Jason paced frantically."Alright. Luckily, we've managed to contain it here at the office. Barely,” he glanced at me before continuing, “Since Mr Davidson has already talked to the employees, assuring them that all will be taken care of. It's only right that we do so.”“And how do you suggest we do that?" Evelyn, sitting on the other chair, raised an eyebrow. Despite flagellating me in the meeting before, she had arrived here unannounced, no doubt for her own interests. “Do we lock ourselves up? Sounds like a plan." She smiled, her voice dripping with skepticism.Jason's jaw ticked as he turned to her.“Mrs Rodriguez, this is neither the time nor the place for scorn. We're both directors here and y

    Zerah My heart was beating hard in my chest as I sorted through the last set of files. Looking at the time on my phone, I finally relaxed. Only twenty minutes left to meet up with Elena. After seeing the message, we'd agreed on a place and a time in the evening. Even through her sparse texts, I could tell that she was skittish. I didn't want to waste any time. If I came late, there was a chance that she would be gone. I had one opportunity. I couldn't waste it. The evening glow shone from the office windows. It was nearing sundown. Very few people remained in the office since it was closing relatively early, partly due to the Falloway crisis since nobody wanted to be harassed by any press. I, unfortunately, wasn't one of said people. As Nathan's secretary, taking charge in his absence, there were still things that I needed to do, hence why after going there I would need to return. Passing by and giving other people who were retiring earlier farewells, I slipped out of the
