Zena POV’sAs the sun shine brightly against the surface of the earth. I sat down, together with my luggage, waiting for my mother to get ready.I couldn't deny that it was one colourful morning, the dazzling blue cloud made it more beautiful. This is the morning my whole life would change. The place I knew as my home would no longer be my home, only the thought of it gave me an unfathomable feelings.I wanted to be strong, knowing fully well that i’d be able to pull it off. My Father's early demise didn't shake me off, or brought my spirit down, so this shouldn't be an issue.I finished my studies, graduated in flying colors, I studied Business administration and I was the best in my class, but after everything I still couldn't get a job, thereby finding myself at Veju Restaurant. My past should be the only thing that fueled my spirit to conquer my present. I am not backing out from this, for my sake, and for my unborn child’s sake. “You should know you're a part of the Sean’s fami
Zena POV’sMy mouth was opened in awe as I stared at the magnificent building in front of me. It was different from every mansion I’ve ever laid my eyes on.The interior and exterior decor was more than words could express. I was expecting something huge, but this beat all of my expectations.I was just staring at this outside and it is this good, what would the inside look like? Gosh I didn’t even what to think about it.“Let’s go in,” Justin said, and that was when I knew he was standing beside me.The driver rolled my luggage out of the car, as he took it inside the mansion. I was surprised when the maids came out, making a straight line, as they all bent their head.“Good day sir,” They all said in unison and I stared around in surprise. “They all just lined up just to greet him? Really? Is this how it works around her?” I mentally asked myself.“Let’s go in,” He said beside me as he started off. I sighed then I went after him, they all just greeted him yet he didn’t respond to t
Zena POV's I didn't need anyone to tell me what to do next. This wasn't how I imagined my life to be even at the slightest moment, I didn't want my baby's daddy and his mum to have any issue all because of me.Just as I was about to say I'll be willing to leave, the guards rushed in, and they immediately grabbed me.“Let me go!” I yelled, struggling to break free, this was worse than every insult I've received over the years, she just made me feel like a nobody.“Let her go! Now!!” Justin yelled, and the guards immediately freed me.“You guys can leave, you're not needed here,” He added and the guards bow and they left.“What the hell are you doing son? Challenging me because of this bitch!” She yelled, breathing heavily, while I stood, watching her as she dragged me to the mud.“Mum since the very day you gave birth to me, I've never done anything against your will, not even once. But this time around, if you can't do the same for me, just this once. I'm afraid I'll have to make a d
Justin POV's I stared at Zena then I sighed, pacing around. Alicia would get hurt if she finds out about this, and I can't really tell her about Zena. Not now, not ever.My love life is at risk here, and I'll have to protect it at all cost.Finally making a decision, I turned to face her. “My fiance is here Zena, and I'll be happy if you'd stay in here without coming out,” I said, but she stared at me as though she'd already expected such decision from me.“I'm not here to meddle with your life, so I know my boundaries,” She replied and i nodded, leaving the room.I hurriedly walked down the stairs so I wouldn't keep her waiting, I didn't want her to find anything suspicious.“Hi babyyy,” Alicia gushed the moment she same me, and she jumped into my arms.I caught her in my arms, then she gave me a peck on my lips. “What were you doing upstairs baby boy, you kept me waiting,” She pouted and I smiled.“Dont try to act cute with me babe..” I said and she giggled, trying to twerk on my h
Zena POV’sI sat down on the bed staring around, trying my best not to think of what they all said about me. Deep down I was trying to encourage myself that I wasn't a nobody, but his mum’s words left a deep cut in my heart.I was fighting hard, preventing my anxiety from rushing in, I didn't want to do it. But my feelings were been pushed, I was hurt and this was the moment I needed my mum, but she isn't here, it was just me, against the world.I crawled down from the bed and sat on the floor, shivering and swallowing hard. I'd managed to lock all of my anxieties, not wanting to be trapped in, but now it seems I'm going back into where I left.“Mum,” I whimpered as tears trailled down my eyes, I didn't want to self harm, I really didn't want to. But now I had no options.Trapped in my own illusions, voices clouded my head as they all yelled at me. “Burn Zena, Burn!!” This was the voice of a nobody I created in my own head. A voice I stopped listening to over the years, but now it cam
Zena POV’sI felt the stares of his mum as she walked into the room. Her eyes narrowed, her lips pressed into a thin line.I’ve never felt so unwelcome, so judged in my entire life. I knew what she was thinking. That I was some gold- digger, a home-wrecker.I wanted to defend myself, say something to stop this preying eyes of hers, but I knew it would be futile because his mum had already made up her mind about me.“You're nothing but a harlot, trying to seduce my son for his money." His mum said.I felt a lump forming in my throat, but I forced myself to take a deep breath. I had to try to keep my composure, even though his mum’s piercing gaze was making me feel like a bug under a microscope.His mum’s voice cut through the silence, and I flinched at the venom in her words. “I hate you Zena, and I’ll always do!”My hands trembled, and I clenched them into a fists. Fighting the urge to cry. I wouldn’t let this woman see me break down.Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned to
Justin POV’s At the Company…I sat at my desk, sorting through the endless stacks of paperwork that seemed to multiply every time I turned my back. Just as I was beginning to feel overwhelmed. My secretary, Mr Dante knocked on the door and he walked in. "Sir, you have a meeting at 2 o'clock and it’s time," He said. I sighed and stood up, wishing I could just stay buried in my work, but I knew I had to get on with it."Send them in," I said, steeling myself for the meeting ahead.The board members filed into the room and took their seats around the conference table. They all looked serious, and I knew what they were going to say before they even opened their mouths. "Sir, we need to discuss the matter of your succession plan," the head of the board said. "As you know, it's imperative that the company have a clear path forward in the event of your absence. Do you have any plans to marry and have an heir?"I took a deep breath and prepared myself for what was sure to be a difficult co
Zena POV’sNight time….I was really tired after the long day I'd had, and I just wanted to go to sleep. But for reasons I wasn’t feeling sleepy, so I decided to go out.As I turned the corner, walking down the stairs, I saw a figure staggering down the hallway. As I got closer, I realized it was Justin! He looked really drunk, and he was having a hard time staying upright.I rushed over to him, and he looked at me with a confused expression. “Zena?" he slurred. "What are you doing here?""I'm here to help you," I said, trying to sound reassuring. "You're pretty drunk, so let's get you to your room,” I said but he didn’t respond.I couldn’t leave Him there, he was in no condition to get himself to his room. I took a deep breath and opened my door again. "Come on, Justin ," I said, taking his arm. "Let's get you to your room."He leaned heavily on me, and we slowly made our way down the stairs.As we reached the top of the stairs, Justin stumbled and almost fell down. I quickly grabbe
