Chapter 79
Asher’s POV
As soon as Zendaya started home I knew it was time for me to do mine. There was no need to wait for anything. The date with the kids had been a disaster. They clearly hated me more than I knew.
There was no remedy for that. This was the first time anyone was hating me like this, much less my own kids.
It made me wonder if they were actually my children.
I walked to the dining hall to clear up the dishes seeing they had not even touched their food but had played with it.
It was going to be a waste but it had to be thrown out.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Taking in deep breaths, I walked to the kitchen with the dirty dishes as I packed the food into a bag and kept it aside to feed my dogs with.
I loaded the dishes in the dishwasher and started out of the house with the bag.
I saw the gateman whom I called and handed the food to.
“Feed the dogs,” I said. “And in a few minutes you should check the dishwasher in the house. I loaded it so make sure the plates are clean before you unload them.”
The man nodded as I walked to the car, getting in and driving home.
As soon as I got home and entered the house, Delia ran to me in her sexy lingerie.
She tried to seduce me but I was not in the mood for any of this.
I pushed her away and went straight to bed. It was already late. I needed to sleep.
“Come on baby,” she said, pestering me while I removed my clothes. “I want you in me.”
“I’m not in the mood Delia,” I sighed. “I’ve had a long day and right now I just want to sleep. Can you let me be?”
“Oh come on baby. I’ll give it to you anyhow you want it. Just help my dad with the…”
This was where I drew the line.
“Shut the fuck up and get the hell out!” I snapped as she shuddered and ran to the door in fear. “Stupid idiot! God!”
I was so mad I was sure if I had a gun I would have used it on her. What did she think she was doing? How dare she?
“I see you’ve been cheating on me,” she snapped back after she had regained composure. “Who is this woman you’ve been with? Tell me who she is?!”
The security guards by the door looked at us as I found this embarrassing.
“You two, leave,” I said as they nodded before leaving.
“Oh no, you two should stay,” she ordered as they stayed. “I’ll say what I want to say and they will bear me witness when I say it.”
I chuckled. Was she challenging my authority? I was going to show her who was really in charge here.
“Confine her to her room until she comes to see sense and she knows who is really in charge,” I ordered the guards who grabbed her by the arm as they took the screaming woman out of the room.
I banged my door shut before leaning into my bed ready to sleep.

Zendaya’s POV
I woke up and thought deeply about what had happened the night before. I was still disappointed in what the kids had done at that dinner table. It had been a terrible thing to do.
When I was done staring at the ceiling I decided to go and see Travis.
I walked to his study because I knew that at this time of the morning he would be up and going through some files which when I entered his study, that was what he was doing.
“Can we talk?” I asked him as he looked up from his papers.
I could not hide my feelings any longer and there was no need to lie to him. I would only be hurting me and be hurting him the longer I dragged this on.
“Take a seat,” he leaned back as I shook my head.
“It won’t take long.”
He looked at me with a serious look as I braced myself for impact. This was going to be one of the hardest things I would have to do but it was either I did it now or it would hurt him later.
“What do you want to talk about?” He asked.
“So I’ve had a long time to think about it and I cannot go ahead with the revenge plan anymore.”
I watched him and I expected him to scream or shout or anything but he sat there calm like I had not said something controversial.
“Why? What did he do? Do you have another plan for him?”
“I don’t want to do it anymore. I’m not in the mood for it.”
And just like that, he slammed his hand on the table, “Bullshit!”
“Don’t act that way,” I sighed.
“I should not act in what way?” He scoffed. “Ever since you started seeing him I knew you would not carry this out. I remember telling you in the beginning that it was not going to work out due to him being your ex and you said you detested him.
“Where is that energy now?”
“It’s not like that. I…” I wanted to defend myself but he was not going to have it.
“Get out!” He yelled. “You should have a long time to think about whose side you’re on. Do you remember the plan we had made? The plan we said we would carry out after the revenge plan? We said we’d get married.
“I’ve done a lot for you already. I did everything I could for you to make you happy. I bought your family’s company for you. I fired anyone you told me to fire. It was all for you. Think about that.”
I nodded leaving the study as I heard a bottle crash against the door after I had closed it.
