Chapter 174
Zendaya’s POV
I was being treated like a queen in the mansion as I slowly recovered. Asher did things for me which he had not done before like rubbing my legs and even feeding me which I found silly.
I would protest saying that I wasn’t handicapped and he would playfully slap my hand away anytime I would try to take the spoon to feed myself.
We spent more quality time these days than we had spent before with cuddles and hugs.
This made me feel horny inside as I had missed his touch, but anytime I would bring it up, he would refuse, telling me that I had to recover first.
Aurora was also available to me these days as she would come over to help me take care of the children while we talked about so many things. We tried catching up and it was fun having someone that we could talk to about our childhood.
“How did we stay apart for so long?” I asked after noticing that our relationship had gotten stronger that we could not stay a day without talking to each other.
“I have no idea,” she laughed. “Hey, don’t you want to paint your nails? They look chapped.”
We did all the things women did which had me feeling girly at the end of the day.
Sometimes I would ask for help cooking or baking and she would help me do those. Of course I would not do much but order the maids to join in cooking while I supervised.
It gave us enough time to connect.
But that was not all I did. I also played with the children. They were happy to see that I was back to normal and they did everything they could to be with me and tell me that they loved me.
It was difficult seeing that if Delia had succeeded I would have died and these children would have grown without me being in their lives. I wanted to crush her with my bare hands but that was an impossible thing to do.
That day went by without a hitch as it was mostly me bonding with my family, but the next day, I remembered the email my mother had sent to me.
It had been all about her asking that I should forgive her for ruining my life. I did just what she asked and I had decided to reply.
I was skeptical at first as I didn’t want to get more things that would complicate my life but she had asked for my forgiveness and I had enough time so I did it.
I knew if I had told Aurora she would have mixed feelings so I did it for me.
I wrote back to her, telling her that I forgave her. I also attached my new phone number to the end of the email and she called me immediately.
“I’m so glad you decided to forgive me,” she said with an excited tone as I smiled.
“I did it because I wanted to. It’s nothing special. Don’t think it’s that special.”Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
I didn’t want her to feel like she had cracked me. I was still mad at her for what she had done to me. She had messed me up. I was still mad at her for what she had done.
She had given me off to get married to a man I did not love at the time and she had abandoned me when I was heavy with child and I needed a mother. She deserved to be ignored, but I would forgive her even when my body didn’t want to forgive her.
We caught up with what had been happening in our lives as I told her that I had been kidnapped which had her exclaiming.
I wondered if she had been reading the news as if she had been doing so then she should have seen that news. However, since she was acting that way then it meant she had not read about it.
I also told her about my poisoning incident and how I had lost my memory and gotten it back.
She was shocked that I had gone through all of this and never once called for her aid.
“You were not important to me, why would I tell you anything?” I asked.
“That is true, but I am here now and I expect that you should tell me everything that is going on in your life.”
“I can’t make any promises, mother,” I sighed. “If you want to be involved in my life then that is fine, but don’t expect me to call too often.”
“Anytime you call is fine, I’ll call you too.”
We were on the same page by the time I dropped the call.
Asher entered the room with a smile on his face.
“The man who had been in the cell with you was Delia’s ex boyfriend,” he said. “He was caught in Thailand.”
“But I never said that he was the one with me,” I said.
“You don’t need to. The police did some tracing and found evidence which led to him being involved in your kidnapping. Also Iris gave another testimony that led to Delia being accused.
“Now she is going to be in custody for several criminal charges as she cannot afford to go against two of her own friends who have more charges against her than anyone on this planet.”
I felt happy that at last justice was being served. I could only smile and get out of bed to hug the man.
He had been really involved in this case to get all the evidence needed against Delia. He wanted her out of our lives as she had caused enough damage. Now it was time to show that she was not in our league. We were going to deal with her with the facts we had at hand.
“Are you hungry?” He laughed. “Cos I’m ready to eat something and celebrate this victory.”
Who could blame him? That Victor was needed.
