Chapter 73
Before I had driven away from the compound, I trembled as I tried to stay calm. This was the first time I was doing something like this. Why was I trembling? I should be rejoicing.
When I had taken down my family and had Travis buy out their company I had no remorse for them. I had taken over with a smile on my face. I had shown them who I was and I had been so happy to do it.
When I had made my ex boyfriend and his stupid wife torn and broken I had done it without remorse.
They had not hurt me the way Asher had hurt me and instead here I was having remorse for what I had done to him.
Was it because I had feelings for him? I sighed, punching the steering wheel in anger.
I was slowly coming to terms with the fact that I was in love with Asher. This was not good, I thought to myself. This was a let down and a terrible mistake. I should have seen this from the onset. How could I have been so blind?
The man had made me feel like no one else had and not even Travis had made me feel that way.
It scared me that I would have to go on with the revenge plan but I had to do it.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Now I was hesitant about going on with it. What was I going to do?
I turned the car on, driving out of the compound as the guard bowed before me.
I drove out onto the street, heading home while undecided on what to do next.

Travis’s POV
I had woken up in my room and gotten to the living room to watch the children watching television.
“Hey,” I said to them. They looked at me with wide eyes as I immediately knew something was wrong. “What is it?”
“We’re hungry?” Luca said with a sad look.
“Where’s the maid?” I looked around to see her missing. Maybe it was her day off. I don’t know her schedule anyway.
I walked to the kitchen to make them something before heading to Zendaya’s room to see if she was still asleep.
I entered to see her bed empty. This meant she had not returned last night.
I knew when she had gone out but she had not returned. I knew something had gone down.
I sat in the living room with the children waiting for her to return before I would give her a piece of my mind.
I called one of the maids on the phone who shot over as I ordered her to clean up the place and cook a meal for the house. It turned out that she was to show up at work but she had not shown up because she had overslept.
I knew she had gone to see Asher and it pissed me off.
The door opened and I rushed to her while she entered with her sex hair and her messy clothes.
She looked like she had been under rough sex and I knew what rough sex looked like. Seeing her being with another man made me mad especially since she was supposed to be having her revenge on him.
Yet here she was having sex with her so-called enemy.
“Where have you been all night?” I asked as she turned to look at me with groggy eyes. “Where did you go?”
“I went to see a friend,” she replied immediately, lying to me without remorse.
“You met these children behind to hang out with your supposed friend,” I said watching b the children stare at us as we argued.
“Yeah mum, where did you go? You missed dinner with us,” Landon said with the others agreeing with him.
“Look, I didn’t do anything wrong,” she said to me, turning to the children. “And you three should know that mummy is a grown woman and I can go out with friends okay.”
“So can I go out with my friends like you did and have fun like you mummy?” Layla asked, getting me to shake my head.
“No, you are not going anywhere with your friends this late. Mummy was just being careless.”
Zendaya rolled her eyes as I smirked ready to put her in a tight spot with the children.
“Go on then. Why don’t you tell the kids which friend you went to see? Tell them the friend who is more important than your children and your boyfriend back here at home.”
“I’m not discussing that with you,” she said. She turned to the children. “Are you three done with breakfast?”
“Yes,” they answered together.
“Good, now go to your room.” They nodded and silently left the living room.
She walked past me as I fumed with anger.
I walked to the minibar to take a whisky which I drank before deciding to get my answers from her.
I stormed to her room and opened it to see her tired.
“Look, I’m not in the mood to fight. I’m really exhausted,” she said as I cut her off.
“You slept with him, didn’t you?”
She didn’t say anything as I got the answer I needed.
“You’ve already crossed the line that was not meant to be crossed. Where does the line end? Because you already broke your own part of the bargain.”
“I am carrying out my revenge plan. I don’t need you to tell me what I can and can’t do.”
“I don’t see it happening,” I said. “You know, while you go around sleeping with him, I want you to remember that I have been the one behind you and supporting you for years and not Asher.
“As much as I hate to admit it, I still love you, and I would never allow you to make a huge mistake like going back to that man.”
With that, I left the room, slamming the door loudly. I was going to finish my drink.
