Zara’s chest tightened as the man strode in, his reputation arriving a second before he did. Her palms dampened, but she forced her voice steady.

‘I can't let my kids get expelled. Maybe I should reason with him.’ she thought to herself, quickly pulling away from Ace’s arm as he approached him.

“Mr. Vincent,” Zara began carefully, her voice tight with restraint. “Children fight, they say cruel things, but that doesn’t mean they should be punished for my mistakes.”

“Are you calling my wife a lie?” Mr. Vincent interrupted sharply.

Diane walked up to him shoving Zara off, “Do you think he’s one of those weak men you reel in with a smile?”

Zara bit her lower lip in frustration as the couple walked past her, finally joining the crowd.

“Welcome, Mr. Vincent,” the ladies greeted enthusiastically.

He smiled, waving back, but frowned at Mrs. Samson, “Mrs. Samson, is this job too much of a burden to you?”

“No, sir,” She quickly replied, “I will have everything sorted out and the kids expel

  • Once Divorced, Twice Desired   I want to talk

    MONDAYZara sat in front of her lap, dark bags under her eyes and her mind far away from the confinement of the office room. She closed her eyes briefly, and her mind flashed back to the previous day. After she finished her practice with Damien, she had gone to the farm house again, this time a little more careful. Everything was intact as she had left them. She went back down the secret room tracing her steps back to what she tripped on on her first arrival.When she raised the lid, she realized her guess was right. It was indeed a metal vault embedded on the floor.Curiosity outweighed fear, and she’d pressed her thumb against the scanner.Click.Inside was a small leather-bound book wrapped tightly in a black cloth. She had unwrapped it. Inside was a hardcover book with a title clearly ascribed to the front in gold ink; The Book of Life and Death.Her breath caught, “What the hell?” She muttered underneath her breath. The title unsettled her, piquing her curiosity. She sat

    The words landed like a slap on Zara's cheeks, sharp and stinging.A ringing noise filled her ears, drowning out everything else. Her breath caught, her fingers tightening around the file so hard her knuckles turned white.Hot tears burned at the back of her eyes, but she refused to let them fall.Ethan was there. She remembered it so clearly—the hospital, the exhaustion, the moment the nurse had placed the papers in his hands.“He told me he signed them.” Her voice was barely above a whisper. “He was right there. He told me he did it.”They were still very in love back then. Ethan wouldn't betray her like that, right? “In his defence, he was going to sign it. I stopped him.” Zara bit her lower lip hard, as she tried to hide her tears. He was capable enough to play two women at the same time. And yet the one time she desperately needed him to protect her, he failed.Her hate for Ethan deepened, but she didn't let that tears fall. Not for them. “So, are you ready to strike a deal?”

  • Once Divorced, Twice Desired   A Deal

    Zara managed to drive herself home that afternoon, visibly shaken and rattled. But the moment she reached the house, she forced herself to mask every trace of fear. Fortunately, when she returned home, they were all fast asleep, taking a nap. She freshened up, laid flat on her bed and tried to sleep but it was impossible. That amount of wealth…she’d only ever heard of it. Even if her family was worth that much, she had actually seen it. Knowing that kind of money can't be legal made her fear even more. She wanted to talk to someone. Zavier perhaps. But she didn't know how to even say it. She needed to sleep. But every time she closed her eyes, she saw the gold. Row after row. Not shining… choking her. Kaka’s face flashed in her mind, smiling, calm, hiding everything. When she couldn't handle it, she popped a sleeping pill, drifting away, hoping by the time she woke up, everything would just be a funny dream. *** FIVE HOURS LATER Zara's eyes fluttered open to

  • Once Divorced, Twice Desired   Not Treasure

    Zara swallowed hard, beads of sweat breaking out on her forehead as her eyes fixed on the gun. “I—I promise I’m not trespassing…” She stuttered, hands trembling, “M–my grandma owned this place and I—I inherited it…” she said carefully, hoping her confession didn't anger the man..Silence followed. The kind that made Zara wish she hadn't come here in the first place. Then the man slowly withdrew his gun, a big smile breaking across his lips. “Eloise, you’re all grown.” He said, moving closer in an attempt to hug her, but Zara instinctively took a step back. One minute he was after her life and the next he was acting all friendly? Not a chance! “I…you know me?” She stuttered. Wrong question because he obviously called her by her middle the way Kaka used to fondly call her. “It's me. Amos. Kaka’s driver.” “Ah…okay,” Zara faked a gasp even though he could barely remember him. She vaguely remembered Kaka had a younger driver but that was decades ago and she could barely put a face

  • Once Divorced, Twice Desired   The Farm House

    Zara lifted her arms into first position, knees bending softly into a slow plié.Early morning yoga and ballet practice has become her daily go to ever since she visited Damien's studio the next day after their coffee date. From her first practice with him, she realized she'd forgotten a lot, but the one thing her body never forgot was standing on a foot. But this morning, her mind wasn’t in the movements. Her mind was occupied by Zavier's. “Hidden somewhere in the house?” she mumbled, breaking the pose mid-motion.“What on earth could be hidden in the house." she whispered under her breath, lowering herself onto her yoga mat. She rubbed at her calves, frustration weighing down her shoulders.“How am I supposed to deal with family secrets when I can’t even hold a plié?”The silence in the room answered her with more pressure. She took a breath and stared at the ceiling.“Why did I have to be your favourite grandchild, Kaka?” she wondered.A soft beep broke her thoughts.Her phone.
