Chapter Fifty Two - Zion
My heart skipped a beat immediately as the door swung open to reveal Laura in a white short and lavender crop flay top with her hair flowing freely down her shoulders. An involuntary smile curled my lips as she muttered a hi, her cheeks flushed just as I liked it and her lips tucked beneath her lower lips.
It hadn't been an hour since we departed at the airport but I could swear seeing her shyly looking at me below her eyelashes made me realize I already missed her. Sounds ridiculous even to me but I surprisingly do miss her. Although I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Nana who sent me out of her house saying it's rude I didn't drop Laura at her house and greet her mother first. Who else did I do all that for?“You can come in," Laura's soft voice jerked me out of my trance. She opened the door wider for me to enter and sidestepped a little when my full frame entered the doorway. My eyes roamed the interior of the room until they landed on four pairs of eyes.Related chapters

It took a while before Nana's statement sank deeply into my brain's understanding. I blink once and twice and when it is finally absorbed, I open my mouth like a fish, glancing at the other figure in the room"What?" Zion exclaimed loudly in disbelief. His cold eyes briefly glanced at me and then back to Nana "You can't be real right?" "Do I look like I'm joking? I want you and Laura here to get married as soon as possible""You must be out of your mind then, to make up something as ridiculous as this" Zion said standing abruptly from his seat"You don't talk to me like that young man. You are going to do what I want if you don't want to watch me die of a heart attack""And what if I don't want it? I won't marry Laura and that's final"I sat quietly, trying my best to fade into the background as the two exchanged bitter words. My head rang as I tried to comprehend what was going on. Just this morning, Nana called me to see her only for Zion to enter a few minutes after I arrived. I fe

Her voice yanks me out of my trance and a slight pain tugs in my chest as tears well up in my eyesYeah right, how could I not know thatI'm a dropout. I didn't complete my degree. I needed to take care of my mom after the accident and my father's death. It was a tough year for me so how could I forget. I had to drop my youth year and become an adult so suddenAs if she read my mind, she quickly squeezed my hand, a worried look etched on her face. In a soft voice, she said. "No dear, you know I do not mean it like that" she sighs. "To be honest, I wanted you for Zion the moment I met you, you're a fierce and strong lady at such a young age, and I was intrigued. You carried so much weight all by yourself and you still keep that beautiful smile on your face. You're always happy despite your hardships" She moves closer to me, her hands still holding mine as tears well up in my eyes "You're what Zion needs Laura, you're the light that can engulf the darkness he built around himself.

Tapping my feet impatiently on the hard floor, the elevator door dings open and I stroll out, taking long eager strides toward my office. I plan on calling Laura to my office and putting an end to whatever is going on with her and my grandmother. I don't know if she's in on this with Grandma especially when I met her there yesterday. Although, she looked as surprised as I was when Nana dropped the bomb. There's one way to find out. And that's demanding her to tell me what's going onI don't know what Nana is thinking, the idea of getting married is disgusting enough for me to feel bile rising in my throat. Not to talk of getting married to my assistant. Does she know how ridiculous that sounds, the company and media will go into a frenzy if they get a whiff of that. I grimace at the thought.My thoughts wander to yesterday's event at her house. She had called me and demanded me to marry Laura. I knew of her close relationship with Laura, she always sang praises of her and I got curiou

Do you ever wish to be swallowed whole by the ground? At the same time wish to hit something hard?Well that's exactly how I'm feeling right now as I pace back and forth in my room while my so-called best friend Anne sits on my bed, giggling while eating from the large bowl of ice creamI glare at her as I continue to paceHow dare he try to buy me with money in such a rude way? "You know that was a one-time opportunity you threw away because you couldn't get your emotions in check or is it because you want him to yourself" Anne has this silly smirk on her face that I wish to wipe off right now. Instead, I roll my eyes without breaking my pacingWhat have I done? Why did I even do that? What the hell came over me?My mind drifts back to this morning's event. I could barely stand properly from how hard my heart was beating after I left Zion's office. I still can't figure out what came over me. He is my fucking boss and I had the gut to stand up to him like that. He had hurriedly left t

Biting my lower lip softly, I stare unwaveringly at the office door, my heart beating faster at each second. I am scared of facing my boss today. I wouldn't be in this predicament if only I had kept my emotions together yesterday.I groan in frustration. What do I do when he comes in? I whisper to myselfIt's funny the confidence I felt before leaving home all disappeared the moment I set my eyes on the company's building. I had given Anne's advice a thorough thinking all night and it felt like a good plan until this moment. I thought it could save my relationship with Nana and my job but how do I present something of such to my boss?How do I tell him to date me for a month before the marriage so I can get to know him before I get entangled with him for life?My heart thumps wildly in my chest at the thoughtHow can I date my boss? Is that even possible?Is it the fact that the idea sounds outrageous or is it the fact that we will be together under the same roof? Will we do stuff coup

I drop the file after scanning through the content with a sigh. I don't know if what I did is right but I know I don't have the intention of getting to know her. Mentioning dating for two months to get to know each other was a lie. That's just me stalling. I need to show Nana romantic relationship isn't for me and two months is enough for that. I plan on making Laura willingly break off the engagement during that time. I won't get entangled in a forced marriage.Another wave of headache hits me and I hold on to my desk for support as I groan in pain. I have been feeling under the weather since I woke up this morning probably from the stress I went through yesterday.Speaking about yesterday, after Laura left my office in such a dramatic manner.

But that would be a bad idea concerning the fact that I'm here to deliver his meal. Nana's way of making me come over to Zion's place after I told her I accepted to date her grandson.A small smile tugged on my lips at the memory of her happy face when I told her. She smiled brightly and pulled me into a hug. I got to know she was sick a day before and I still feel bad for not being aware. She became chatty after and told me about how teary Zion was and how she gave him the cold shoulder. It was fun talking to her until she gave me a bag filled with a different side dish to bring for Zion. She even went to the extent of borrowing me her chauffeur again. I huffFinally deciding on making my appearance known, I raise my hand to press the doorbell. Biting my lower lips softly and bouncing my left leg, my eyes roam around the house as I wait for someo

"Daddy! Daddy!" Ayla screamed. She jumped off the sofa, running after my father who was staggering up the stairs"Ayla, come back, he is drunk as usual" my 11-year-old hissed, glaring hard at my fingers.
