"Ten million?" He asked, making me frown in confusion. "What?" I asked, wanting to understand what he's trying to say. "Twenty million? Mention any amount and it will be yours, just get rid of that thing and spare my image from being ruined. Only then can the money be yours." He said. I stared at him in complete shock. What does he think of himself because he's a billionaire?! That's it! This was a wrong idea, and I've had enough of this!
View MoreA MONTH ON.Zoey's PovStaring at myself in the mirror. I look so beautiful in my simple fitted wedding dress, and the flower bouquet on the dressing table. Today is finally the day I've been waiting for. Rowan thought it wise to let me recover after a month, then we will wed. We've been preparing for the wedding, with the help of my loved ones.Now, in a few minutes I will be joined forever with him. I am so happy and scared at the same time, I really do not want things to go bad like the last time. Knock!Knock!"Come in." I said, gazing at the door through the mirror.The door went open and Emma came in, all dressed like my chief bridesmaid. She stood at the door for a while, her eyes on mine through the mirror as she made her way to me.I stood up to face her. She looked at me from head to toe, like she's checking me out. Then she gave me this heart warming smile with teary eyes, now she's being so emotional."I didn't know you could be so emotional all the time." I teased, tryi
Gianna's PovThe sun ray hitting my eyelids made me groan, it's interrupting my beautiful sleep. I turned to hide my face in Bryan's chest, but my hand touched the bed instead.I opened my eyes to see Bryan wasn't on bed. Where did he go? How is he up so early when he always has this habit of waking up late? I'll check what he's up to. I came down from bed and made my way to the bathroom, maybe he's taking is bath. I opened the bathroom door to see it empty, he isn't there. I made my way out of my room and head to the kitchen, maybe he's making breakfast.On entering the kitchen, he wasn't there too. Where could he be then?! Wait! Maybe he has gone for some morning jog.Oh well, I'll just freshen up and make breakfast since I fired my servant out of some foolish furstration. But, I need to call him and know what I'll be making for him.I went back to my room to grab my phone on the lamp stand, beside my bed. On grabbing my phone, I saw some well folded paper under the lamp. What pa
Rowan's PovI do not know if the location Gianna had given me is correct or not. I mean, the location she had sent to me led me straight to a hill top in a deserted place.I can't even see her, or Zoey!I came down from my car to get a better view of my surroundings, and call Gianna to inform her that I have arrived at the same location she had sent. I brought out my phone and dialed her number, after two rings she picks."Turn to your left." She said as soon as she picked my call.I obeyed her and turned to the left, only to find Zoey in a very bad state and Gianna pointing a gun to her from behind. Terrified that my Zoey is being held by gun point, I ran towards her to save her."If you get any closer, I swear I will shoot!" Gianna yelled, making me stop few inches away from them.I didn't know this was Gianna's true nature! How did she become this version of herself?!"Please Gianna, let her go! This is between the both of us, she has nothing to do with it!" I yelled."True. So tru
Rowan's PovI glanced at the time for the sixth time now, and it says 12pm. But there are still no signs of Zoey. She was mearnt be here at the altar since 11am, I wonder what could be keeping her. Am starting to get all tensed."What could be the problem? Zoey hasn't arrived yet." I whispered to Emma's husband, Gerald who happens to be my best man."I do not know, but I will ask Emma." He whispered back.He calmly came down from the altar and went to where his wife is seated, next to Zoey's mom. He whispered into her ear, and she did same too. Looking all tensed. Suddenly the church doors went open, and Catherine was running in without Zoey.She looked all tensed and crying at the same time, it got me alerted. She ran till she was In front of the alter, then fell to her knees crying more. I rushed down to know what was wrong."What happened? Where is Zoey?" I asked, trying to be as calm as ever.She tried to speak but bursted out crying again, making me all tensed. "Say something a
Rowan's PovI made my way out of the room after sparing a last glance at my daughter. Making my way straight up to Gianna's room. Standing in front of her room, I made to open the door when her conversation got my attention."Yes babe, am sure of it. He is in love with Zoey. I told you I had a guy feeling that those two shared something. But I do not care, I will get my frame once I get married to him. Then end his life, and inherit everything for us." She said.I just froze on that spot after what I heard. She never loved me, all she wants is to kill me?!Oh my God!"We will start our future, and raise our family somewhere far. Just like we planned, my love." She said with a giggle.She never loved me, and she made me believe she did!I had to sacrifice my love to be with her, and all she was going to do is kill me?!I felt this anger rising up inside of me. I opened the door which gave her a fright, and her phone fell to the ground. She looked all tensed on seeing me, I stepped in.
Rowan's Pov"What's wrong with you, Rowan?! These past few days, all you do is drink your senses out! What's all these new behavior about?!" Gianna yelled as soon as she got into my room.I have been a complete mess these past few days. I do nothing but make myself drunk so I would stop my head from thinking about Zoey. When I shut my eyes to sleep, she appears in the curtains of my eyes. Making it so diffcult for me to sleep, so getting drunk do help me."Listen to me Rowan!
