Zara Howard

Xander comes to drop me off at the Lancaster Enterprises the next morning, thanks to the additional security and protection. As soon as I drop my stuff at my desk, I make a beeline straight to Xena’s cabin.

"Morning," I announced as I walk into her cabin.

We dropped the good of the good morning a long time ago. With Jerold as our direct superior, it was only rational to drop that expectation.

Fewer expectations, fewer disappointments.

"Morning! How was your day yesterday? Did you manage to distract yourself with work?" Xena asked while she was busy arranging a few sheets in the file.

“Kind of,” I reply, not knowing what else to say. Because well, I was pretty distracted.

“I will never understand how you use work as coping mechanism. It would only drain me further. You should learn something from me. I just sleep it off.” Xena brags and I find myself zoning out.

"Earth to Zara!" Xena snapped her fingers to get my attention.

Danika Williams
Everyone in the room stared at me as I smashed the third glass on the ground in anger. I hadn’t had proper food for 2 days. My mom, who was a former Miss Universe, controlled my life since I was a child. 
Nine years ago, when I was only 18 years old, she wanted me to be Miss Universe too but I was the runner up, which angered my mom, so much so that she didn’t let me eat for 5 days as a punishment.
People may think, just stop seeing her or block her out of your life.
Yeah, easier said than done, right?
But now, I am a successful model, and I am

  • The Mafia And His Stalker   Chapter Fifty

    Zara Howard I woke up in Asher's bed, feeling a mix of euphoria and contentment. The memories of last night's passion flooded my mind, making me blush even in the solitude of the room. The enticing aroma of pancakes reached my nose, pulling me out of my reverie and reminding me of the delightful breakfast Asher must have ordered through room service.Unable to resist my hunger, I sat up with a smile and noticed the tray of pancakes waiting for me on the nearby table. It was as if Asher knew exactly what I needed after a night like that. I reached for a plate and eagerly dug into the fluffy goodness, savoring each delectable bite. I love maple syrup.Just as I was enjoying my breakfast, Asher emerged from the bathroom, clad in only a towel around his waist. The sight of him made my heart skip a beat, and I couldn't help but stare in awe at his captivating presence."Good morning, doll," he greeted me with a tender smile, his eyes filled with warmth."Morning," I replied, trying not to

  • The Mafia And His Stalker   Chapter Forty Nine

    Zara HowardI wanted to go back to Xena and pour my heart out, but I knew that wouldn't resolve the situation. Instead, I had to confront Asher and address the confusion between us. Why would he kiss me and spend so much time with me if he was engaged to Annika?With a deep breath to steady my nerves, I made my way back to our room, hoping to have a conversation with Asher and find some clarity. However, upon entering the room, I discovered it empty, and Annika was nowhere to be found. This only added to my frustration, as I wanted a chance to speak to Asher privately.Deciding to wait for his return, I felt a mix of anger and hurt building inside me. When Asher finally walked through the door, I couldn't contain my emotions any longer. "Asher, we need to talk!" I exclaimed, my voice filled with a mix of anger and sadness.He seemed surprised by my outburst, but he didn't shy away from the conversation. "Okay, Zara, what's going on?" he asked, trying to remain composed."Why did you k

  • The Mafia And His Stalker   Chapter Forty Eight

    Zara Howard As I walked back to the room that I was fairly certain Asher and I were sharing, I tried to process everything that had happened. Taking a deep breath, I reminded myself to take things slow with Asher, even though my impulsive nature urged me to dive in headfirst. I knew rushing into a serious commitment could jeopardize my dream of having kids before turning 30, and I wanted to avoid any potential regrets.Deep down, a nagging fear persisted. What if Asher eventually realized he didn't want a future with me? I didn't want to be blindsided after making lifelong commitments or having children together. It would be better to address any doubts or uncertainties now, even if it meant confronting my fears.Arriving at room 202, my heart pounded in my chest. I needed to talk to Asher, to share my thoughts about taking things slow. I knew I couldn't ignore these feelings any longer. What if he didn't share the same desire to take it slow? Would he understand my apprehensions?As
