ZARA’S POV

He was right. I was too nervous and it was showing.

“I’d better be careful,” I muttered.

Cael moved closer and touched my shoulders. He looked into my eyes and for some reason, I averted his gaze. I felt shy.

“I know how uneasy you must feel, surrounded by potential spies. However, you must not let it show,” he told me firmly. “You must not stay far from them. Remember you must keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Speak to them, relate with them, but make sure you don’t g

    ZARA’S POV“I’ll take it,” Cael rose up and walked to the door. I smirked, he wouldn’t have expected me to get the door, would he? Anyway, I watched him open the door and also saw the blank expression on his face the moment he did. I was about to rise out of curiosity when a familiar figure came inside.The housekeeper.Cael closed the door after her and then she moved closer. She gave me a big smile and asked if I slept well.“I did,” I replied, still holding my fork. “I wasn’t expecting you here, not this early in the morning.”“I had to come,” she replied. “Today is the last you spend in Paris for your honeymoon, it should be beautiful and I intend to make it so.”I sighed, “You care too much, maybe too much for your own good.”“I will worry about that myself,” she replied gladly.“What do you have for us today? I am quite excited to hear it,” Cael said gently.“I am not really excited,” I muttered. “If it is my last day in Paris, I think I want to be in bed all day. The moment we

    ZARA’S POV“If you are going to sleep with me when drunk, how about you just do it while you are sober?” Cael asked coldly. I stared at him, watching as he betrayed no emotion. He was just standing there, waiting for my reply.“You… You…” I stammered. I took a deep breath, hoping to stabilize this heart of mine beating crazily. When I eventually spoke, all that escaped my lips were, “You are crazy, Cael.”I walked away at that moment, searching for the bathroom. I remained holed up in there, trying to figure out the next step. Whether I liked it or not, I still had to spend the night at the suite with Cael. At first, I kept the water running to make it seem like I was busy there and then next, I showered. However, after spending thirty minutes showering, I knew it was time to come out of the bathroom. I had a simple plan in place. To avoid mistakes, I would have him sleep on the couch while I used the bed. Cael wouldn’t disagree as he was a gentleman to some extent.I was wearing a sh

    VICTOR’S POV“You know what, Ada? I think I have realized why they say home, sweet home,” I said. I was in the back seat of the car, enjoying the scenery as the car moved. “Paris was all good but it had this coldness to it, not the kind of cold that makes you cover up.”Ada nodded, “You are always right, sir.”“At least be more sincere when you lie,” I retorted.“I will try harder,” she replied brazenly. I was taken aback but it didn’t last long. Such bouts of audacity from Ada were not too strange. I rested in the car and soon, we got to the head office. I had asked to be brought there straight from the airport.Ada and I stepped out of the car and entered the main building. As we walked past staff members, they stopped to give a little, curt bow. Both of us entered the elevator and no one else dared to enter with us. It was an unwritten rule, no one but my close confidants rode on elevators with me.We got to the top floor and I stepped out of the elevator first. As I walked down to

    ZARA’S POVAs I saw the blank expression on Cael’s face, I started laughing. I had thought he was upright to a fault but here he was, proving me wrong. He was just like every other person, putting his pride first.“It must have bruised your pride to watch me fall asleep while we were making out,” I said, intrigued by him.He scoffed, “You don’t know what you are saying.”“I’m quite sure I do,” I replied in turn. Cael turned away from me and from the look of things, I concluded he was thinking.“Why did you pretend to not remember?” he asked as he turned towards me. His eyes were depicting betrayal and I struggled to hold back my laughter.“Because I didn’t remember…” I pointed out. “Why would I lie about something like that?”“So all of a sudden, the memories returned?” he asked without expecting a reply. “You’ve got to be kidding me.”He stood up, eager to leave. I stood to confront him but I wasn’t able to as the housekeeper approached us at that exact moment. She had insane timing,

    NADIA’S POVAs I walked down the hallway, I couldn’t help but hiss at the terrible aesthetics at the head office of Calloway foundation. Even though I ran the foundation on paper, I had little authority, little enough that I couldn’t determine how the head office should look. My job around here was simple. I was to attend fundraisers, attend events to donate, and sign the never ending documents submitted by Peter, the man that watched my every move according to the order of my father.“You are late today, Miss,” Peter said, hands in his pocket.I was caught in a frenzy, afraid he would tell my father about it. That shouldn’t happen.“There was a situation,” I said as I marched forward uneasily.“What situation would that be?” he asked without flinching.I was right in front of him and I knew from experience that my excuses wouldn’t work. I would have to do something else.I held his hand tightly, “I am sorry about my lateness. It won’t happen again.”“Your father won’t like…” he was s

    ZARA’S POV“It was a beautiful night, wasn’t it?” Cael asked, smiling.I froze on a spot, trying to convince myself that I was seeing and hearing things. I closed my eyes and reopened them and even slapped myself but the scene before me didn’t fade away. Cael was still there, covered by that towel around his waist while I was still standing, covering my bare body with the bedsheets.Things couldn’t have gone more wrongly.**The next time we spoke, things had settled down a bit. For example, both of us had dressed properly and it was in an open location; the living room. I couldn’t hold eye contact with him, dreading what must have happened between us last night.“About last night…” I began to say. “It was a mistake, a drunken mistake. Both of us shouldn’t have had so much to drink. It has happened already and it’s irreversible, all we can do is to be more careful from now on.”He smiled without talking. I looked him in the eye and I swear I could see pride. It was as if he was glad t

    VICTOR’S POVThe car was on the highway, running at 80km per hour, a little slow for my liking. I didn’t particularly hate following traffic rules regarding speed but today was an exception. I was extremely anticipating seeing Zara, Cael, and the villa.The backroom gist was that I had found out th

    CAEL’S POVI stared at Jason intently as rage built inside me. He was hitting on Zara right in front of me and he was doing it confidently at that.“Are you a stylist too?” Zara asked, intrigued. “I know you run a fashion company but I never thought you’d be involved in such affairs.”Jason smiled
