ZORA —"Is that my baby's voice I'm hearing in the background?" Zayn asked excitedly. "Please let me speak with her," he demanded, and I handed the phone to Daisy."Hello, Daddy," she said, excited to speak with her father."Hello, my beautiful angel!" I could hear Zayn's voice. He was happy to hear from Daisy again after last night."How are you, my princess?""I'm fine, Daddy. When are you coming to visit us here?" She asked as if she was here when I and Zayn discussed his visit.They spoke for a few minutes before Daisy handed the phone back to me. Their conversation flowed effortlessly."Daisy sounded so sleepy when we were talking.""Yeah. She's sleepy. She'll sleep now once she has her lunch," I said."Amazing. Can't wait to see you both. I'm really missing you. The crazy stroke you...""Shhh. She's still around," I shunned Zayn, not wanting Daisy to hear the voguish topic he was trying to start."Alright. I will call you back after a while then," he stated and hung up the call,

ZAYN —We were in the middle of enjoying ourselves when we heard a truck honk at the gate."Are you expecting anyone?" I asked Zora, who looked stunned as she tried to figure out who it could be."Not really. Except for the delivery package that I requested yesterday, but I doubt it's the delivery guy since it was a truck horn we heard instead of a motorbike," said Zora, running her hand through her hair."Let's go find out who it is then," I said, standing up.I led the way, with Zora following. Meanwhile, Daisy had already gone to her room after finishing her meal. Zora convinced her to leave the room at my request so I could go ahead and put on a show for her as promised.As we walked out of the building towards the exit gate, I took out my phone to verify something so I wouldn't embarrass myself in front of Zora."Who's that?" Zora asked the security guard."He said he came to deliver a surprise package, Ma," said the security personnel with an honest look.Zora was about to walk t

ZORA —"Hurry up. Pack your bag and Daisy's too; we're leaving for Southampton City for the Christmas holiday," he said to me, catching me off guard.My heart sank upon hearing that. "Southampton City? Christmas holiday?" I asked, my forehead creased."Come on, Zayn. I already told you I have an appointment with my boyfriend, so why are you trying to create issues?" I was annoyed, wishing he hadn't shown up."Really? So if I hadn't told you, you wouldn't have known how much you hurt him? You would have the nerve to visit him after what happened here recently?" He questioned me, his words cutting through me like ice, making me realize the mess I had gotten myself into."I really don't like how you treated him, Zayn. He doesn't deserve this.""I know, but I have to stand up for my rights, Zora. You're my wife, and I'm not going to share you with anyone," Zayn replied, his tone serious."Wife?" I rebuked him, my forehead creased as I stared at him disdainfully, not caring that Daisy was p

ZORA—"Grandma is right, Zora. The greatest gift is having you and Daisy back in our lives, and that's what she's talking about," Zayn chimed in, making me sigh in frustration.Why are they making the situation more complicated?Somehow, that statement made me emotional even though I wasn't comfortable with it."Let's go in, please. I'm sorry that I kept you guys outside for so long," Felicia remarked. She held Daisy's hand, leading us inside.Zayn's grandmother and Daisy were deep in conversation as we walked inside, as if they had known each other for a long time, while I swallowed a lump of satisfaction as I watched them."This place is still the way it was," I commented, trying to start a conversation between me and Zayn."Yeah. I know you would be amazed. My grandma likes keeping things the same but never fails to maintain them," said Zayn, joining me in admiring the environment."My sister would be happy to see you. I'm glad she visited," Felicia remarked, turning her gaze towar

ZORA—The dinner party turned out to be quite different from what I had anticipated.The house was bustling with Felicia's friends, relatives, some of Zayn's staff members, and other unfamiliar faces. It had been five years since I had last seen many of them, so I struggled to recall everyone. Over the years, new friendships must have formed within the family circle.The sitting room was lavishly decorated, and the spread of food looked inviting. Felicia had gone all out, even bringing in musicians to add to the festive atmosphere. It was evident that she had put a lot of effort into planning the event. I was surprised that so many of the invitees had managed to attend on such short notice.The room was abuzz with conversations and laughter, and some people who recognized me came over to catch up."Zora, it's been almost six years since we last saw you! Are you back for good? We've missed you around here," Catherine, one of Felicia's friends, exclaimed, drawing attention to me. I hesi
