The Devil’s Convenient Wife Chapter 57
ZARA’S POVPreparations had to be made and Mackenzie remained in charge of that. She had plenty of experience attending events like that so she got me briefed. Though her instructions were simple, I knew they had to be strictly adhered to. Later, she drove me down to get clothes and my makeup done.The Lifestyle of Kim.“The company’s name is too long,” I said the moment we got to the fashion company.“Yes, that’s why many people just call it TLOK,” Mackenzie replied. “The CEO of the place is a close friend of mine. He is a great stylist so you can be rest assured in his hands.”“I hope it is as you say,” I muttered.Mackenzie and I were led into the VIP dressing room and I was helped to get ready pending the team the stylist would arrive. He was fifteen minutes late and when he eventually arrived, I refused to look at him, obviously displeased due to his lateness.“You are here,” Mackenzie chuckled. “Come on, meet my boss, Zara Calloway.”“Zara Calloway?” the stylist repeated skeptic

ZARA’S POVI stared at him in disbelief. He was calm and collected even though he had just dropped a bombshell. In the heat of the moment, the waiter arrived with what we had ordered. Gabriel had ordered a cocktail too so I took a sip of that first. Maybe I believed it would help clear my head.He looked at me, smiling, “You look like you are about to reject me.”“Of course,” I replied in a straightforward manner. “Out of the several absurd things I have heard in my life, this was the most absurd of them all.”“What made it so absurd?” he asked, his facial expression barely changing. “Was it my sudden proposal? Was it because you are a married woman? Was it because you thought you’re not attractive enough to get men drooling over you?”I scoffed, “I know I am an attractive woman.”“Then it shouldn’t be that absurd,” he pointed out. “I am a regular man and blood flows through my veins. You are a very beautiful woman and you made my heart skip crazily right from the first time we met. I

ZARA’S POVI froze for a moment there and as she neared me, I knew I had to act fast. I got into my car instantly and while she ran towards me, I drove the car outside the garage and towards the main gate. Kate still chased after me and the security guard at the gate looked confused.“Hey, don’t you know me? Open the damn gate!” I barked at him.That seemed to help him make a quick decision. I drove outside and could no longer see Kate behind me. She wasn’t young, it wouldn’t make sense for her to have run all the way.Feeling triumphant, I started to listen to music. I felt like an unruly teenager who had just ran away from home. At the same time, I wondered how I would face Kate later today. I would have a lot of explanation to do.**I walked into the company’s main building with excitement. I was busy imagining what I would have been robbed of had it been I remained at home today that I didn’t notice Gabriel and Mackenzie at the lobby. By the time I noticed them, they had already

ZARA’S POV“You look like a mess! What have you been doing all night?” Kate asked with a baffled expression. I stood up and took a look at the mirror myself. It was indeed unpleasant. I had dark circles and my eyes looked swollen as if I had cried for hours. My face was pale too. Conclusively, I looked sick.I turned to Kate weakly, “I will be fine. It’s just a little insomnia. I will be fine after I rest for an hour or two.”“Are you sure?” she asked, her voice soaked with doubt. She touched my neck to check my temperature. “Are you sick? What are your symptoms? Shall I call the doctor?”I managed a smile, “I said I’m fine. I just need rest.”I walked to the bed slowly and laid down on it. I had even covered myself with the blanket before I remembered that I now had a job and today was a workday. I sat up even though I was physically exhausted.“What is it?” Kate asked, fearing for the worst. “Do you have a headache? Do you feel like throwing up? Does your body feel-”“I have to go t

ZARA’S POVThe first thing that caught my attention wasn’t his words, it was the suitcase he held. He moved towards me, dragging it along with him. He flashed a smile my way and I got to see his nice dentition.“Did you hear everything?” I asked.“Yes,” he nodded. “Now I can’t help but wonder if Lily was telling the truth or if she had misunderstood.”“She misunderstood,” I cut in. “I really didn’t mean it that way.”“I am expected to take your word for it?” he asked.“I don’t care,” I said with a sense of urgency. “Why do you have a suitcase? Where are you going?”“A business trip,” he replied dryly. “I have to leave now.”“What!” I exclaimed in shock. “You didn’t think to tell me you were travelling until now?”“I am sorry,” he muttered. “However, I also didn’t know until two hours ago. I’m sorry but it is an urgent matter. One of our branches in Germany has got into some trouble and I have to go fix it myself.”I sighed, “When will you be back?”“As soon as possible,” he replied wi

ZARA’S POVMackenzie didn’t bat an eyelid at first and it made me wonder if she had expected me to say that. Then she muttered, “You want me to-”When she paused, she seemed to have been hit by the weight of what I just said. She walked closer towards me and asked, “Did I hear you right?”“You did,” I replied naturally. “I shouldn’t be asking you to do this since we aren’t that close but frankly speaking, there is no other person that can do this. I would have done it myself but there are too many eyes on me.”“Maybe I should find you an assistant,” she muttered. “I just want to live peacefully and something tells me my peaceful life would be disturbed if I help you.”She was right to think in that manner. Aurora who helped me back in Paris was dead, anyone who helped me here could face the same fate.I stood up and walked towards Mackenzie. I held both her hands and looked into her eyes, “You… It has to be you. You said it yourself, it would take too long to find a trustworthy person
The Devil’s Convenient Wife Chapter 1
ZARA’S POVI pushed open the apartment door, my overnight bag was still hanging from my shoulder. The place was quiet. A little too quiet if I might. Marcus was supposed to be at work, but his car was parked downstairs. I smiled a little. Maybe he came home early to surprise me.“Marcus?” I called,

ZARA’S POVCael Ashford stood there in the doorway like he owned the place.Which, apparently, part of me now did too. He was dressed in a fresh black shirt and trousers, looking far too composed for a man who had just walked into a woman’s apartment uninvited.In his right hand, he held my missing

The Devil’s Convenient Wife Chapter 3
ZARA’S POVThe elevator doors had barely closed behind us before Cael had me pressed against the cold metal wall. His lips crashed down on mine with a hunger that stole what little breath I had left in my lungs.This kiss was nothing like the polite one at the chapel. This one was hungry, demanding
