Chapter 11: A step behind.

Zayn's POV. "Where is she?" My jaw clenched as I glared at the old lady shivering in her chair."Where is Monica?" I asked, moving closer to her, and her face went pale.When I walked into the house, I only found her sitting on the chair, and the fright on her face proved that she was expecting me."Tell me, where is she?" I asked once more, bending to her level."She… please don't hurt her," she stuttered, and I scoffed."That depends, I'm already losing my patience," I gritted, looking straight into her eyes.Monica wouldn't have gone far, maybe she was in too much of a hurry to leave the old lady behind."Who are you? Her mother?"I asked, and the stale look on her face approved my words."She wouldn't have left you here then," I stood up straight, regaining my upright posture."It's stupid to leave her mother here when she knows I'm coming for her," I said, stepping away."Please do not hurt her... Monica didn't do anything wrong." She shrieked, falling on her knees."I pro

Chapter 12: Game change

Cielle's POV. The proceedings began, and the plaintiff presented the case.My name was mentioned, and I heard Ashley's lawyer accusing me of committing fraud against the government using my company's name, and then trying to escape the consequences.My breath thickened, but I felt Zayn's hand on mine."Keep calm… It's going to be fine," he assured me once more, and I let out a heavy breath.Soon, I was called to the witness box, the plaintiff's lawyer ready to question me."So, Ms. Coleman, is it true that your marriage with Mr. Blackwell ended suddenly?" he asked. I turned to Zayn and then back to him."Yes, we're divorced," I replied calmly, my hands pressed against the stand."Then you're agreeing that your marriage ended because of your unfaithfulness?"He accused, and I furrowed my brows."I never said that! It was Ethan who was unfaithful," I snapped, and the audience gasped."Can't you see him with Ashley? He cheated with Ashley, and I signed the divorce papers," I retor

Cielle's POV. I returned to my room to see Zinge sitting on the bed, his head bowed as if in some sort of meditation."Arghmm," I feigned clearing my throat as I walked into the room, grabbing his attention."Where were you?" He asked coldly and I pushed a shrug off my shoulder."I umm..." I stuttered as I sat next to him."I felt a bit suffocated, so I went outside for a little fresh air." I lied, avoiding his gaze."You could have opened the windows. They are big enough to have you pass through." He said and I rolled my eyes."Why are you here?" I asked abruptly, feeling uncomfortable by his presence."It seems you don't want me in here.It is my house after all." He said, his tone a bit braggy, and I turned to face him."Well, I know it's your house, but this is my room now.You can't just walk in here anytime you please. If I can recall, when I walked into your room, you acted out a whole drama accusing me of snooping and wanting to glare at your body."I said too quickly

Chapter 14: A trip to the mansion.

Cielle's POV. "Why did you have to pull me so hard?" I snapped as Zayn pulled me to his chest, his hand landing on my wrist."Because we are the center of attention."He said with a smirk, and I realized he had a microphone in his hands."Good day, ladies and gentlemen."He began helping me regain my balance, and soon cameras were clicking, paparazzi forming a crowd in front of us."Welcome to our party. Today we are announcing our engagement to the world.Meet my fiancée, Cielle Coleman."He said, and I gasped, looking at him, but was quick to curtail my shock."Enjoy the party..."He added, pulling me closer for the one thousand and one pictures that came after."What the hell are you doing?" I whispered as I forced a smile, the lights from the cameras flashing brightly on my face."Just smile, fiancée. We are going to be in the headlines." He said, his hand still on my waist.Not being able to bear the bright lights any longer, I pulled away and walked hastily out of the c

Chapter 15: There's no baby.

Zayn's POV. I leaned by a tree, glancing at my wristwatch at intervals.Why wasn't she out already?Suddenly, my phone vibrated in my pocket and I quickly picked up the call."Boss, Ethan Blackwell is on his way back to the Coleman mansion."One of the men informed, and my eyes widened.Cielle was still in."Stall him, I still need some time here."I ordered, my eyes moving to the back entrance Cielle had used to enter."I'm sorry, sir, but he has already left."He said, and I pulled the phone away from my ear as I cussed out loud.I dialed Cielle's number, pacing as I slammed my other hand on the car.She didn't pick.Fuck!What was she doing?Ethan catching her would ruin the plan.And if she failed to get the signet tonight, it would be impossible to get it again, as Ethan and Ashley were cautious of our plan.The call went through for the sixth time when the gate flew open and a car drove into the yard."Boss... Boss, Mr. Blackwell has just driven into the yard."My man,
