He felt himself warming up to her again that he couldn't help but smile. He loved what he was seeing.Naevia walked out of the living room, heading for the kitchen. She met Kelvin on the way going. He was coming towards the living room.Kelvin and Naevia met each other on the way. Kelvin smiled and bowed lightly for her. Naevia smiled at him and walked pass him.They both went their way..Later on, Zane is at the dinning table, waiting for Naevia to come.A maid had come to inform him earlier that Naevia would like it if Zane moved to the dinning room.He did as Naevia said, waiting for her to come. He took his phone and went through some important things.Just then, Naevia arrived with a tray and placed it right in front of Zane. Zane sees this and drops his phone aside."I said I should make one of mine and my father's favorite meal. We eat this together after playing one or two games. Ping-pong used to be one of them," Naevia said, sitting beside Zane."Thank you," Zane appreciate
Chapter ten The next morning, Naevia woke up very early. She stretched out her arms yawning, before looking right at the window.The sun wasn't out yet. It was still looking dark. Naevia checked the time and realized it was 5:30am. She glanced to the other side of the bed and found Zane still sleeping. She stared at his face as he slept soundly. She turned away and dragged herself out of bed. Naevia groaned and walked straight into the bathroom. In the next ten minutes, Naevia is outside the bedroom in her joggers. She stretched out her legs and arms and puffed out. "Let's get those body parts in shape. Can't remember when last I went jogging," Naevia said, stretching and twisting her waists. She hop a little and started jogging. Then she jogger away from the bedroom and straight outside the mansion. The maids and guards who were awake around that time where stunned to see Naevia when she jogged out of the mansion and down the stairs in her joggers. They were astonished when sh
Chapter Eleven Zane still sat there with Naevia, talking about her work in the living room. Naevia stayed quiet and planted a fake smile at every statement Zane made. She wasn't comfortable with the sudden closeness. "I'm glad you're accepting this place as your new home. Never thought I'll see this day so soon," Zane said and chuckled. Naevia doesn't chuckled but faces the other way. She wanted this strange discussion to end soon and fast. All she wanted was a relaxing time alone in the garden. Ever since she got to know about the garden and felt how the wind relates with it, Naevia had come to love the grass decorated garden. But now she was loosing her relaxing moment because of Zane. Fed up of the strange attitude, Naevia rose immediately and said, "I have something to attend to." She walked away quickly. Zane had looked at her when she rose up from the bench. He noticed the strange expression on her face but thought he was the one making it up since it was night and dark alr
Naevia stood close to the door. She had her eyes on both Zane and his guard. Both Zane and his guard stared at Naevia back. Zane was very upset with Naevia for all she had said and also her stubbornness. He didn't want her in his study room nor does he want to see her face. Naevia glanced at the guard then at Zane. "Can we talk?" She requested. Zane kept on glaring at Naevia. He took a quick look at the guard and signalled him to leave. The guard understood and immediately took his leave. Naevia watched the guard leave the study room. The guard exited the room before she faced Zane fully. "So you said you want to talk. I bet you're here to insult me and remind me of the meaning of our relationship. That's the only thing you're good at after all," Zane said angrily. He turned his back at Naevia and went back to sit on his sofa. Naevia could sense the anger in Zane. She thought of Kelvin's words and sighed. Squeezing her hands into a fist and reminding herself that she's at fault
Night had fallen, it was time for Zane to have his meal and go off to bed, since he didn't have much to do. He didn't go anywhere throughout the day. He stayed home doing his works from his comfort zone. He still haven't forgotten what Naevia did to him. Even though she apologized for her mistake and wrongdoing, Zane was finding it hard to accept her apologizes. Anytime he thought about her words in the bedroom last night, he ends up getting upset. He tried to get it out of his head but couldn't. "Your dinner is ready Master," a maid announced to Zane. Zane was at the living room when the maid came to inform him that his food was ready in the dining room. "I'll be there," he said and waved to the maid, who bowed and left. Immediately the maid left his presence, Zane placed both hands on the couch and lifted himself up. His hand felt the softness of the couch he was sitting on. Zane paused and glanced at it. This brought Naevia's image to his head again. He groaned and diverted
During that night, Naevia couldn't sleep. She kept tossing and turning around on her bed. Her mind wasn't at rest. "Come on Naevia. Try to sleep. I know you can," she encouraged herself while laying face up immediately, staring at the ceiling. Naevia groaned and turned over to her left side. Grabbing a pillow and covering her head frustratedly. "I don't know why I keep on seeing that horrible night in my sleep," she muttered under the pillow. Naevia's mood became dull. She sighed and closed her eyes. Slowly, she drifted off to sleep. "Naevia! Naevia my girl, come please," a female's voice called out to her. Naevia's eyes twitched at the sound of the voice. She squeezed herself hard right there on the bed. "I'm coming mother," she answered the voice's call. It turns out that Naevia was dreaming. In her dream, her mother was calling out to her to come and play with her toy. It was morning in the dream. Naevia's mother was in the living room of Naevia's father's mansion. She ha
Naevia helped Zane to get into bed. She took off his shoes and placed them aside on the ground. She sighed and looked at the sleeping man on the bed. He was fast asleep, not knowing what was happening. Naevia smiled when she stared at him and thought about the little romance between the both of them. Though she was enjoying the arousing, Naevia couldn't accept Zane wholeheartedly. She reminded herself about Zane and her father's cunning plan in getting her married to him. That action alone didn't allow her to accept Zane fully or rather completely. She just couldn't do it. She sighed and climbed the bed. Dragging herself towards Zane and taking hold of his shirt. "Alright sleepy boss...It's time for this shirt to come off ." Naevia placed her hands on Zane's buttons and undid them. She turned Zane over and took his shirt off. Tossing the shirt on her side of the bed. She glanced at Zane's body and noticed his muscular and hunky curves showing through his singlet. She stared at
"Thank you Zane. One way or another, I'm going to get rid of Nisha. She'll be out of here," Naevia assured Zane. " And I know that you don't like Nisha. You can even kill her if I wasn't present. But as a gentleman, I'd be happy if you could control your temper around her. Don't show your anger around her. Leave the work to me Zane, " Naevia cautioned Zane with a little and simple advice. Pleased, Zane gave Naevia his support to the plan. "I trust you Naevia. I know you'll get to the bottom of this," Zane supported her. He shook her hands lightly and let go of them gently. Naevia felt happy with Zane's gesture. She crossed her arms behind her back and smiled at Zane. "I'll get ready now. Had to rush out because of the noises I was hearing downstairs. Excuse me please," Zane excused himself and rushed right straight into the bathroom. Immediately he exited the room for the bathroom, Naevia's smiling and bold face suddenly turned all sad and bitter. She thought about what Nisha sai
