Chapter 107
I didn’t like where this conversation was going with the man.
Why would he want to talk to me when we barely knew each other?
I found this strange and I didn’t like it.
“What do you want from me?” I asked folding my arms as I looked him in the eye. We were both the same height and I was sure I could take him on in a fight. There was no need to worry about his answer.
“I want you out of Asher’s life for good,” he smiled.
“Excuse me?”
“You heard me. I don’t like you hanging around a man who is already married. You’ve had your turn to be with him, now leave him to be with his family.”
I found this offensive but it was about to get worse.
“What do you want? Name your price. I can give you anything you want, I have that power so I can give you that. I can give you the life you desire and enough money to do whatever you want.
“I can even allow Asher to acknowledge those bastards of yours. God knows where you picked the rats from.”
Now I had had enough.
“Don’t you ever call my children those names, ever! Do you hear me? That’s a disgusting word I will not tolerate from a low budget family man.”
He laughed while I talked, looking away from me.
“And what could you possibly have that I would want? I’ve got everything I need and want. In fact, I think you’re here because you want something from me, that’s how powerful I am. You should be careful who you mess with before it turns into an ugly situation.”
This had the man pissed as he looked at me with raging fire in his eyes.
“I’m not someone you can talk to like that without any fear. I will not have you threaten my family like that. I will not take that lying down. Do you hear me?”
“I could say the same to you. Who do you think you are, showing up here to talk to me with such stupid words? Do you know anything about me? Do you even know who I am? On second thought, I don’t have time for this.”
I heard footsteps which had me looking back to see two security guards walking towards me with wary eyes.
“Are you okay, ma’am?” they asked me as I looked at the man before me who cleared his throat. The security men there turned to him.
“Kick him out,” I smiled devilishly. Since he was going to be a thorn in my flesh, I would show him who I really was.
He was in shock at this moment. The look on his face was priceless. I was sure I needed more moments like these in my life.
“Excuse me?!” he squealed like a rabbit about to be killed. “How dare you?!”
“Let’s go sir,” the security guard said to him, grabbing his arm as he was being led out of the building.
“Do you know who I am?!” he screamed at the guards before stubbornly turning around to face me. “You will regret this day. Do you hear me? I said you will regret this day!”
“Get him off my premises!” I yelled at the guards who carried him before walking off the company grounds as I heard his screams down the stairs.
When I could no longer hear anything I felt my smile fall off. He had ruined my day. I had been having a wonderful day until he showed up and now he had ruined it. I could not wait to destroy him, whoever he was.
I gritted my teeth in anger. No, I could not wait any longer. I needed to know who he was and what had given him the audacity to threaten me like that.
He was no Travis, that I knew for sure.
Taking out my phone, I called a friend of mine who worked for an information company.
“Hello, tell me you’ve got something interesting for me,” he said as I chuckled.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
“Not really, but I do want to know everything about Delia and her family down to the dog or cat they have.”
The man laughed before proceeding to tell me all I needed to know about them.

Aurora’s POV
Remembering the embarrassment I had undergone after meeting Zendaya had me crying as I had not seen that coming. How could I repair a relationship that was broken beyond repair, I thought to myself.
I didn’t know she would treat me like that, especially in public. I cried my eyes out as my phone rang and I picked it to see it was from my mother.
This was all her fault. I would give her a piece of my mind without holding back. This was all her fault, there was no need to sugarcoat how I was feeling anyway.
“This is all your fault,” I said when I picked up the call.
“You’ve got to have some nerve talking to me like that.”
“Some nerve,” I chuckled. “You destroyed the relationship I had with my sister. You destroyed my entire life with her. How could you? You ruined our relationship. It wasn’t perfect but it was getting somewhere.
“Now Zendaya won’t even talk to me and she doesn’t even care. She treated me like a stranger the last time we talked and I felt so embarrassed in public, all because of what you did years ago.”
I cried as the woman didn’t say anything but listened to me rant.
“I wish things were different and I had made different choices when the entire family had cut her off.”
“Auro…” mother tried to talk to me as I cut the call, dropping the phone angrily.
I felt someone put their arms around me as I looked to the side of the bed to see my husband.
He had an empathetic smile.
“You can reach out to her on your own and maybe reconcile,” he said and I agreed.
