The Zanders Empire sextuplets
Chapter 2
Aretha's POV
She glared at me fiercely before turning to Open the drinks on the table .
Her neatly done nails towered above the rim of the glass, and it was unethical to do that, I however kept mute, when the owner of the drink, Mr. Zanders said nothing.
I watched as she continued pouring the drinks, rubbing her fingers continuously all over the glass.
She handed him the first drink taking the other for herself, and taking a sip, carefully watching him do the same.
I could have sworn I watched a smile form on her face before she composed it back to a frown.
My legs were beginning to ache but I dared not to make a sound, the only chance I could get was if I was asked out of this place.
" Mr Rhys," what I'm about to discuss with you is very confidential, I don't want a third party listening in on our conversation, she said darting a vicious look at me.
" We've signed a confidentiality for....mm," I opened up to say when I was cut off by him. " You can excuse yourself, he said, and I felt the baritones of his voice lower.
" Are you ok-ay Mr. Rhys," I asked again bending to look at his face. His eyes were getting darker and his breaths were beginning to get hitched.
" Are you deaf or something, the lady asked, taking me in shock.
" I'm sorry ma'am, I just think the drink is having some kind of effect on him.
" Are you saying, he's not okay or what, if anything should happen to Mr Rhys, just know you're dead meat," she said threateningly.
" I can take care of him," I said trying to get him up from the sofa he sat on.
I felt my head buzz when her palms landed on my face, strong enough to make me feel concussions.
My head spun with her nails creating a mark on my face.
"I said let go of him," she said, and I let go immediately, while she held him.
" I'll take you to your room now Mr Rhys, she says, running her hands down his chest to his back, and he stands up leaning on her.
I watched as she led him away when I suddenly recollected the words of the Senior receptionist, "If anything happens to Mr zanders, just know you're done for" Her voice rang in my head, and wasted no time before I sprinted after her.
There was no way the head receptionist wouldn't have told me if they didn't have a room booked and the Way she was headed to wasn't the way to the restroom.
My job was in the line so was my life, if anything should happen to him under my watch, I knew I was a done deal, so I walked towards her and tapped her on the shoulder.
" I'm sorry to interrupt the moment but we have a huh........., Mr Ryker asking after you, I said. There was no Mr. Ryker, but I knew with the change in expression on her face, she knew a very important Mr. Ryker.
" I'll take me Zanders from you and while you go meet him, I'll make sure he settles in his room," I said holding my hands out to take the already weak Mr Zanders from her arms.
The temperature of his body was already hot despite The entire place being air-conditioned, plus there was no way, a man like mr Zanders would allow himself to be carried and led away by a woman.
" You better do and If I notice any foul play, I'll annihilate your whole family," she threatened and turned to her heels out of the corridor.
I led the man by his hands to a room, with the card in his Pocket, feeling the length of his hard-on rub against my body.
I knew immediately what the situation was. He had been drugged and that too by his secretary. I however led him into the room and closed the door behind me, in case that cunning secretary came back after realizing I'd tricked her into going outside.
" You're In safe hands now Mr Zanders," I said, taking off the jacket of the suit he wore.
He growled in correspondence with my actions while I turned and led him out of the bedroom to the bathroom.
I sat him down in the middle of the bathtub in the room and turned on the water with the hope of it cooling down his body temperature to no avail.
Fear gripped me and the scornful words of my Aunt slipped into my head. " You'll get yourself ruined by working there" but I shook my head and brought myself out of the trance of thought I'd fallen into.
" Mr Zanders," I called, shaking his body as strongly as I could.
His body was heating up and I couldn't decipher what kind of method to adopt to make sure he was better.
I was beginning to get stressed and my body heated in return to the constant touch of my body on his.
The night was getting darker and my strength was beginning to fail me and I sat down beside the tub, waiting for him to snap out of the slumber he'd fallen into, when I Also slipped into one.
I woke up in the hands of a man, my eyes flung open with alert and I tried to wiggle my way out of his arms.
" Mr Zanders, please put me down," I said as softly as I could, not wanting to anger him.
" Quiet, Aret," he said shushing me of my words, my eyes lowered to the black shirt that clung tightly to his broad chest.
I palpitated as he headed to the bed, " Mr Zanders," please let me go, I begged again to deaf ears.
I was thrown over to the bed while he towered above me, pinning my hands to the bed frame, and viciously ripping the clothes I had on me.
" Mr Zanders," please, I begged until he tore off the bra I wore, ripping my body to the cold air inside the room, before thrusting harshly into me.
Tears filled my eyes
to the brim and I let them flow uncontrollably as he kept ramming into me.
Chapter 20Zander's POV "Thank you for your contribution, we'll make sure to get back to you once we've found the best teams we can find," I said, gesturing for the man to leave. He nodded curtly and turned towards the door when my phone rang.He paused, glancing back at me."Lead him out Xavier, and you come back," I ordered, my eyes narrowing at the unnamed number flashing on the screen."Is it still the same person?" Xavier asked and I nodded, swiping the green button."It took you a while to pick up the call, Mr. Zander, how long were you going to stew about the billions you've lost these past few days," The voice mocked, laughing scornfully over the phone."And how did you know about that?" I demanded, gripping the phone tighter."I know many things that you think I do Zander," the voice said again, chuckling darkly."You must realize that whoever told you about what's happening in my company will go down with you," I said, my tone sharp and filled with menace at nonchalant laug
Chapter 19Zander's POV "Mr Zander," Xavier called, stepping into the office. "What's the news?" I asked, turning to look at him."We've managed to pull down all the news and information that spread the news about you," He said and I turned with a bitter scoff."You think that's going to change anything?" I asked. "I believe that it will, various content come up on the Internet and it'll be soon forgotten," Xavier said, looking up at me."I'm pretty sure you know very well how the company stocks have been dropping in the past few days, I'm losing billions because of this fucking news Xavier," I said, barely holding back my anger."Have you gotten any leads on the call and who leaked the news?" I asked, but he shook his head."We've been reaching a dead end every time we were close to finding out the person who posted it," he said, making me clench my fist."We think it might have been made from a burner account,""And the call?" I asked again."There has been no lead about it, decry
Chapter 18 Aretha's POVI woke up to the soft beeping of a monitor and the faint murmur of voices outside the door. My body felt heavy, but the stabbing pain in my abdomen had dulled to a manageable ache. The sterile scent of the hospital filled my senses as I blinked, adjusting to the dim light of the room."She's awake," a female voice said softly. My eyes darted to the figure sitting by my bedside—Doctor Liam. He had already changed into his scrubs, and his eyes were shadowed with fatigue."How are you feeling?" he asked, his voice gentle as he leaned closer.I swallowed, my throat dry. "Better... I think." My hand instinctively went to my stomach. "The babies...?""They’re fine," he assured me, a small smile breaking through his exhaustion. "You gave us all a scare, but they’re strong. Just like their mother."I let out a breath I hadn’t realized I was holding, tears pooling in my eyes again. Relief, exhaustion, and gratitude all mingled together, leaving me speechless."You need
Chapter 17Aretha’s POVThe house felt unusually quiet as I sat on the bathroom floor, throwing up everything that was in my stomach. My eyes were getting blurry and I could feel myself losing strength. The thought of falling unconscious in the bathroom irked me together with the disgusting sight of the puke splattered across the sink.I switched the flush, watching the puke go down the drain, and moved to leave the bathroom, holding the door knob when I felt my knees buckle to nothing. It turned to jelly as I fell back to the floor, clutching my stomach protectively.I winched in pain, batting my eyelids to hold back the tears that brimmed in my eyes as I gripped the door again, moving to get up. My fingers grazed the wooden frame of the door, but I fell back again, hitting my back against the tiled walls.I could see the splinters from my fingers on the door and the throbbing ache of my fingers a painful sensation shooting through my body.I shifted slightly, hoping the discomfort w
Chapter 16Aretha's POV "I wrapped my hands around my body, the biting winter seeping through my coat made my body shudder, a nauseous wave hit me as I stepped down from the car and approached the hospital's entrance."Miss Aretha," a familiar voice called out, pulling my attention.Doctor Liam, my attending doctor called from a distance as I stepped into the hospital, a smile washing on his face as he strode towards me."Doctor Liam," I greeted, accompanied by a slight bow of my head."You shouldn't do that, you're in your first trimester and unnecessary strain could lead to complications," He cautioned, moving to take my bag from me."I know you have other important things to do, you should leave to do that and not waste your time with me," I said, haggling the bag from him."Every patient is important," he said with a small smile."But you, Miss Aretha, are most important to me," he said, managing to tear a laugh from my lips.My eyes didn't evade the countless numbers of girls, p
Chapter 15Zander's POVI stared down at the ruin my office had turned into. Papers were scattered everywhere, chairs overturned, and shards of broken glasses glinted on the floor. The once-spotless symbol of my dominance...power now mirrored the storm raging inside me."Fuck!" I roared, slamming my fist into the desk with all the force I could muster. The wood splintered beneath my hand, a jagged crack running through the center. Pain shot through my knuckles as blood seeped from the fresh wound, staining the ruined surface. I didn't care. The pain felt like a perfect escape from the burning emotion inside me.The sharp, intrusive buzz of my phone cut through the chaos, vibrating on the floor where it had landed in my earlier fury. I bent down, picking it up with bloodied fingers, and glared at the screen. The number was blocked.I frowned my instincts immediately on high alert. Few people dared to call me directly, and fewer still would do so anonymously. But now wasn't the time to
