Chapter 114
Zendaya’s POV
After she had asked me that question, I found that I could not hold back my emotions.
I broke down in front of her while she watched me in shock for she had not expected that from me.
I told her everything I had gone through with Asher and Travis. I told her about the company and how I had ruined her life by taking that away from her. She didn’t need to know that but I had told her everything.
When I was done, I leaned away from the table, cleaning my tears while staring at the glass window beside me.
I could see the street from here and the little droplets of rain which formed on the roofs of the low hanging shops.
It was aesthetic.
“I’m not going to tell anyone,” Aurora promised to me even when I didn’t care if she did or didn’t. “But if you’re telling me this because you need something from me, I’ll be happy to hear what you want from me.”
I didn’t say anything as I didn’t know if I wanted her to advise me or anything. I still didn’t trust myself to take whatever she would tell me at heart. I was a mess at the moment.
“If you want to hear my own take about this,” she said after we had sat there awkwardly for three minutes without saying anything. “Then I would suggest you find a way to talk to Asher.”
I looked at her while she spoke.
“To be fair, if he wanted you out of his life he would have thrown you out already.”
I realized that she was right. If Asher actually wanted me to get out of his life and never be in it again, I would have been out of the equation at this moment.
“Do you want a hug?” she asked as I nodded to my feet.
We hugged and I could see the joy on her face. I also felt at peace when I had finished embracing her.
We settled back in our seats before she laughed.
“I didn’t see this day coming, I’m not gonna lie,” she sighed. “I’m so happy that we’re not fighting anymore. I feel so at peace right now, it’s almost comical.”
“It’s okay,” I said, trying not to put so much importance on whatever we were doing.
“It was only one of our brothers who actually followed what mom said. I, on the other hand, have given her a piece of my mind and I’m sure she’s regretting it by now.”
I could not say anything as I listened to her talk. It was relaxing seeing her in such a happy mood.
She was so excited it was like I had given her a new car for a birthday gift.
“You have every right to protect yourself and get revenge,” she said again. “But you should know that if you keep on doing this you could burn yourself out. You need to take a break and love yourself.
“From what I’ve gotten from you, you’ve not had time to rest or take a break. From the revenge plans, you started fighting with Travis and after that, you started your love life with Asher. Then the kidnapping, the murder attempts and so on.
“I think you need a break. You should think of getting one.”Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
“I do need that break, but I also need to find a way to apologize to him. Maybe he would forgive me or maybe he would not.”
“Like I said earlier, if he wanted you out of his life, he would have kicked you out a long time ago, but right now, he doesn’t want you out of his life, he wants you in it. Don’t bother yourself with this. He still loves you and the children. He won’t do anything to hurt you guys.”
I smiled after hearing this. I had expected her to judge me for everything I had done especially to her but she had been chill about it.
Maybe she was thinking that she probably deserved it and had pushed her emotions aside.
After an hour of sitting and talking about miscellaneous things and childhood memories, I stood up as I was ready to leave.
We hugged and I started to my car.
I decided that the information on Delia’s family would be sent to me and I called my connection to send over everything big. I was going to use it to my advantage.
I needed to protect myself somehow from the clutches of that man.
He seemed like a very dangerous man to have approached me like that in my own office and I was going to show him how much of a mistake he had made approaching me like that.
He had also made a terrible mistake by calling my children names. He was going to regret what he had done and I would be there to laugh at him while watching his life crumble before his very eyes.
He had no idea who he was dealing with. I had ruined the life of the president even when I did not want to do it. Who was he to challenge me?
He was about to learn how I played around these parts.
I drove home after waving to my sister who was still sitting in the cafe.
When I got home, I spent some time with the triplets who asked if I was feeling better to which I reassured them that I was fine.
I didn’t want these children worrying so much about me that they would start thinking I was having a breakdown.
I wanted them to focus on what children focused on and leave my problems for me.
I saw them to bed, tucking them in as I heard the front door open up with people greeting him.
He was back from the office.
I walked out of the room to see him climbing up the stairs and I knew this was my chance to get to him and apologize again.
