ZACHARY'S POVI slid a ring through Hannah's finger, I watched her as she admired the ring. We just got married so I had Tammy pick up some rings the moment we were done. She sat at the back watching the both of us."You like it ?" I asked Hannah who shrugged. "Hmm It looks like something my mother would wear." She hissed. "I'm keeping my last name though." She proclaimed. "You can keep it, your first name sounds average next to my last name." I said while she scoffed at my comeback. "I'll get you a better ring." I said ignoring her gaze, that would be enough to keep her mute for a while. "What size ?" I was wrong she wasn't going to shut up."Does it matter ?" I sighed trying to ignore the question. "Yes it does, the size of a ring shows how strong a marriage will be. All I got was this, it's better than nothing I guess." She smiled still admiring the ring. "It's not like our marriage will last, don't get ahead of yourself." I advised her incase she had forgotten our deal. "Of cour

ZACHARY'S POV"Long time no see Zachary." I turned to see Lilly, she can finally look me in the face after ignoring my gaze back at the study room. "Lilly." I paused studying her figure. She had this proud look on her face, I tried my best to dial back my irritation. "You look different." I said hinting on the amount of plastic surgery she had gotten over the years. "It's upsetting that it is the first you notice after all these years. Don't you know anything about decency." Lilly said walking closer to me than she should. "I hope you show decency as well acknowledging the fact that I'm married." I said as she looked distraught. "Of course, we are mutuals once again after all." She said recalling our relationship with Javon. "Yes mutuals." I said and turned to meet Hannah who looked disturbed. "I'm going to pack a little and leave the rest for my uncle." She said as her gaze met Lilly. I always thought, Lilly and Hannah were close. Maybe that was all for the camera, they fooled ev

ZACHARY'S POVAfter the previous meeting with the directors I was couped up in my office because shutterbugs swarmed the outer walls of my company. I couldn't do anything but attend to more work until I got burned out. Tammy noticed and volunteered to get me home by acting as a detour, I wasn't comfortable knowing my secretary might be exposed to possible dangers. Some of these shutterbugs were disrespectful and entitled to take pictures of you without consent and sometimes get aggressive.I advised her to sneak out while I did the same with the help of the help of the Janitor. We had to leave my car behind and met up in the somewhere a bit far from the company. I planned on taking the subway while Tammy concluded on an Uber. I stayed with her till her Uber arrives. "Thank you for today." I said, the way she immediately turned to look at me was dainty, I couldn't hold back my small smile. "O-of c-course, you're my boss Mr Zachary. I'm expected to do these things." She stuttered at fir

ZACHARY'S POVThe Mendovas are corrupt people and there are many rumors that surround them. There is a rumour of Hannah being the queen of the shadows, it referenced her job as an assassin so many people thought she was a prostitute who lured men to the Mendovas, her reputation with men didn't help her case so people immediately believed it. It's more darker than they thought, who would believe that the fragile woman in bed is a murderer ?Some would think it's a joke, while others will think it's true. Like me I started believing the rumors surrounding her as an assassin after I saw her inflict pain on a student.What made it so hard to believe she was an assassin ?Hannah does sleep with some clients working with the Mendovas but when the clients are not longer useful, it's her duty to eliminate each one of them. They never made it alive to tell their story so the rumors of her being an assassin was brushed off.The reason my parents especially my father despise the idea of our marr

ZACHARY'S POVMy eyes flutter opened to be slightly visually impaired by the harsh surrounding of sharp contrast of white. I shut them close once more dialing back irritation to open them once again to catch a glimpse of my surroundings.I look around spotting a bed next to me, Jacob was strapped down with an oxygen mask sleeping soundly. We were the only ones in the room, I tried moving my body but I couldn't even lift a finger.Anger washed over my face, why was I fucking numb. Like a headache it all came back one by one.If it wasn't for Hannah's crazy idea we wouldn't be in this mess, I'm immobilized, Jacob is unconscious and Hannah is…..Where is Hannah exactly ?I hope she has it worse than me and Jacob, I doubt anyway, I was her sheild during the accident, I got all the cuts and injuries. While Jacob who sat at the front faced a more dangerous fate since he sat at the front, the airbag might have gone off when he passed out and crushed his lungs or something. That's something I
