A message entered my phone which had me getting out of my head for a second. I picked it up from the table to look at which had me smiling from ear to ear.Opening the message I found it to be a picture of a rare painting which I had told him I liked. The message was from Travis Wilson, a rich suitor.‘Do you like it?’ he texted after the picture as I chuckled a little before sitting in my chair. Thinking back on where I had first met the man, I found it to be when I had first started my bakery business. I had started the business beside my house since I could not handle the stress of going too far from the children.Handling triplets and the business was not an easy feat but I was ready to do it and that was what I did.When I had met Travis, I had seen him as a man who was ridiculously rich. He did not waste time in flaunting his wealth before me which had me rolling my eyes.He had shown a liking to me which none of us could deny was there. I had told him of my children which
thing but the music in his radio to keep me company, I fell into my thoughts.“Hey,” he called my attention to him as I smiled. “Are you okay? You seem distant.”“I’m sorry. I’ve got a lot on my mind.”“Oh yeah? Like what?” he asked wanting to know what I was thinking about as I looked around looking for a way to give off an excuse. “I had difficult clients today,” I sighed. “They didn’t think I could run my own company. It was embarrassing but I did put him in his place.”“Did he come to you for help?”“Apparently his failing business needed my touch and that was what I did. I saved it, yet I was given the bad hand.”“I’m glad you put him in his place. No one deserves to talk to you anyhow. You’ve come a long way. I knew when your business was the only thing you were holding onto. Here you are being one of the biggest bakeries in the country.”I loved hearing the history of how I started and I looked towards the school when I heard the bell ring.Almost immediately I found the tripl
I found his answer to be romantic and it made me get some from my seat to hug him. I could not believe that I had someone who would be willing to go through hell with me.I had suffered so much alone that having someone else join me in fighting my battles made me so emotional. All I could do was smile and hug him intensely.I had found it hard to trust someone hug Travis had made it extremely easy to do it.“So what do we do first?” He asked after I had let him go and he rounded the table to eat his chicken.“Well, for me to get my revenge I will have to move back to America,” I said as he choked on his meal. “Are you okay?”“Yeah,” coughed, slapping his chest. “Actually, no. I need water.”I ran to get him water from the tap before handing him the glass cup to drink from.He downed it and dropped the cup with a sigh.“Did you say America?” He asked me.“Yeah. That’s where I am from.”“I had no idea.”“My accent should have told you.”“Oh it did, but I didn’t know you were a native of
The triplets on the other hand were having a blast being on the plane. This was their first plane ride since they were born and I could understand their excitement.Paul, Tim and Ash all held their hands together while chattering nonstop throughout the ride.I sat on my seat with my headphones on while listening to the songs being played in the background. It was calming and I did not have to listen to the kids and their screams of joy.I felt the quake of the plane before noticing that it was about to get into the air.Travis settled beside me with a tray of food.“Lobster?” he offered as I chuckled while taking one.“You love lobsters so much,” I smiled at him.“Yeah I do. I just hope the earth doesn’t run out of them.”We finished eating before I closed my eyes to drift off into the darkness.“Hey,” someone shrugged me awake as I opened my eyes to see him standing over me. “We’re here.”“Oh,” I muttered to my feet. With a sigh, I stood to my feet to see the children asleep
“Why would you do that?!” I yelled in shock. “You can’t just get out plans and cancel them.”“I just did,” he smiled, leading me to a chair to sit with me. “Now, care to tell me how we are going to take out everyone?”I was confused at what this man was capable of but I smiled at him and decided fighting over his choice was not worth the trouble.“I haven’t brought up anything yet. But I was thinking that maybe you could bring something up.”“Something like what?”“I’d like to bring down my family’s company. If I can do that, I would have accomplished part of my goal before going for my ex-husband.”“With this I think I can bring up a plan that we can all work with,” Travis said, pacing around the room. “Now all I have to do is call up some of my spies and they’ll have this done.”“Have what done?”“I’ve done this for an opposing company before and it was epic. All I need to do is plant people in the company, add in the viruses into the company servers as well as dropping in some spyw
Travis’s POV After I had made the call, I started to dress up for they would soon give me a call back wanting to meet with me.“Why would you call them?” Zendaya asked in anger. “We agreed to watch them crumble and fall to the ground. We are watching them right now!”“Zen,” I called to her while she paced around in anger. “Now you have every right to be mad but you have to listen to what I have to say. We can use this to our advantage. We can easily buy their company and rubbish it how we like. Is that not a better plan?“I mean, they would see their beloved company fall to the ground. It would be more painful to see it.”She nodded to my plans as she agreed with it. She looked back at the screen to see her mother agree to have an audience with me.Within seconds, I got a call as my request had been accepted.“Like you have a choice,” I muttered under my breath before cutting the call.I exited the room going to my own room to dress into my business suit. Within minutes I was out
Zendaya’s POV I had been on the balcony relaxing for the first time in my life. I was not doing anything, there was no work to do and I was not breastfeeding. The last time I had relaxed was after giving birth to the triplets and I wouldn’t call that relaxing because I had three mouths to feed every five minutes.Since I left the family and the country, all I had done was work for what I had. There was no time to rest and even during pregnancy I still went to work.I knew what I wanted and I had to only work diligently for years before I would get it. I did and as good I did not give up on myself.Having to watch from this vantage view as my family’s business crumbled had me feeling on top of the world.I could not wait for Travis to come back and tell me the good news from all his meetings.The door opened as I saw him walking into the apartment with a huge smile on his face. That was when I knew something was up and I was eager to know what it was.“Where are the kids?” he as
Knowing that I had a revenge plan against Alexander after seeing him with my former best friend, I told Travis all I had seen and leaned back in my chair to think of the past.I couldn’t help it. The flashbacks were always there to remind me of how I had come far.“I'm so sorry you had to see them again. Is there any way I could help?” he asked, wanting to help me but I could not accept his help anymore. He had done so much for me I did not know how I was going to repay him.“Thank you but I’ll do this on my own,” I smiled trying to appear strong and brave while my heart broke from inside. I had not known that being too close to those two would open old wounds I didn’t know were still there. Seeing my family had done nothing but angered me and dished out hurt but seeing those two had only made me feel how painful betrayal was. That was a feeling I did not want to get again.“Listen, you don’t have to act strong all the time,” he said leaning forward from his chair with his hands cla
