Chapter 119
Zendaya’s POV
After talking with Aurora, I leaned back in my bed smiling at how beautiful everything was going between the two of us.
We were at each other’s wits but I still saw her as my sister because that was what she was to me.
I didn’t like fighting with her, however if it came down to it I would fight against her again. But this was about peace and not war.NôvelDrama.Org content.
I wanted people to be close to and not far away from.
I suddenly remembered that man and how I had destroyed his secret life by letting the entire world know that he was just a good for nothing man who loved to hide his taxes away from the government.
I wondered if they had taken him away or if he was still trying to run away from the government.
My phone buzzed as I looked at it to see a report that the lands and properties had been purchased from Delia’s father. I was elated by this news.
My day was getting better and better by the minute. If only Asher would top it by forgiving me.
I was very sure that the house Delia was currently staying in out of the country was not bought.
I was relieved about this because I didn’t want her to know about everything until it would all be done.
I checked with my connections, texting them to know if they can still tail Delia just for them to tell me that she was still living it up like a single lady. She was still blind to what was happening.
This was too good of a news to hear over texting so I called my assistant to hear what she had to say.
“And how was the meeting with his lawyers?” I asked.
“Oh it went well. They didn’t care that our names were similar but in the end I got to see the properties and got it far cheaper than we would have originally gotten it for.”
This made me laugh. How the mighty had fallen or however that was usually said.
He had come against me by threatening me and calling my children names. He had no idea who he was dealing with.
I would make sure he paid for it. His daughter would be on my list if she came against me. But for now, I would watch her closely. There was no need to tear apart everyone in my book.
She was not worth it… for now. I would see how she felt when she found the news out.
I knew this was only a matter of time before Delia would see that she had lost everything with her father.
This was going to come as a shock to her but for now, she should enjoy her single life over in her foreign country.
I wondered how someone like her could think she was not well known. A little makeup here and there could cover one up but she was stupid to lie and say that she was single.
Her husband was the president. He had influential status and people who could sniff her out in seconds. Did she even know what she was doing to herself?
I did not need to know that one of these days she would be caught in her web of lies.
And the men she was lying to were fools to say the least but they were going to learn the hard way.
“How’s the office?” I asked. “It’s been a while since I’ve been there.”
“The investors put more money into your company. We have three new investors lining up. Should I send you their stats?”
“Oh no,” I sighed. “I’m taking the day off. I’m not doing anything related to work for now. I’d like to have nothing to do with work until I get to the office. Keep the list for me.”
“Alright,” she said before I cut the call.
I went down for dinner and spent some time with the children who looked at me with wide eyes. I could feel questions coming and I dreaded that.
“I’m not in the mood for questions,” I sighed to the children but they were not having that.
“Is something going on between you and dad?” Landon asked.
“No,” was my reply.
“Then why are you and daddy not talking like you used to?” Layla added her thoughts.
“What do you mean? We talk.”
“No you don’t. You don’t even see each other again. We can see that you both are ignoring each other.”
Those were pretty big words for her mouth to say but she said it anyway.
“Alright, first off, we are both busy with other things. You all forget that I have work and your daddy is the president, of course he’s supposed to be busy with other things. He won’t have time for me the way he used to.
“You three should not worry about anything. We are both fine. We are just busy, that’s all.”
“I don’t believe you,” Landon said with the other two joining in. It was clear I was not fooling anyone. They were too smart for me. Sometimes I wondered why they were this smart.
“I’d like to eat dinner with you and dad together, not separately,” Layla grunted, slapping her tiny hands on the table.
Since that was what they wanted, I had no choice but to give them what they wanted.
“How about you guys keep eating?” I stood to my feet.
“Why?” Landon stared at me with wide eyes. “Are you going to fight?”
“No.”
“Where are you going?” Landon asked, his inquisitive brows going to the roof of his head.
“To talk to your father.”
I walked up the stairs to meet him in his study scrolling through his phone.
He had been avoiding me from the day that incident occurred. It was having a negative impact on the children as they were seeing us as people living apart from each other.
