Chapter 35
Zendaya’s POV
I waited for Travis to come back home and when the doorbell rang, I rushed to open the door.
I found the children there with the driver. Taking them in, I closed the door and ushered them to their room before going back to my worries.
I waited for him to come back again, pacing around the living room.
I knew how awkward it was telling him of my plans to seduce my ex husband but I had to make him see from my own point of view that it was for the best.
This was the only plan I had and if he did not like it then I would love to hear his own idea.
When I heard the door open I rushed to hug him as the children did the same to him.
“We need to talk,” I said to him, dragging him into the room by his tie.
When we were alone I closed the door as he held me in his hands trying to kiss me which had me pushing against him.
“What are you doing?” I was confused.
“I thought you dragged me in here because you wanted some,” he said with a flirty face.
“No,” I sighed. “Get your head in the game, I brought you here so I would ask if you’ve thought about the plan and you can tell me what you think.”
His face fell flat with disappointment before he headed for the bed to sit on it.
While removing his tie, he told me what he thought of it.
“I agree with the plan,” he said, getting me to jump around in silent celebration. “But!” he said, getting me to stop celebrating.
The man stood to his feet walking to me with a smile on his face. With his hand intertwined in mine, he gave me a look which told me he wanted more than the plan.
“I have envisioned having a family with you,” he said. “And I do hope that when you are done with your past and your revenge we can settle down and actually have an official family.”
I was so happy to hear this that I jumped on him, lacing him with kisses. We made out for a few minutes before hearing little knocks on the door.
“Mummy, we need help with homework,” I heard Landon’s muffled voice call out behind the door as Travis fell into the bed with a grunt. He was frustrated by this and so was I.
“I’m coming!” I yelled kissing the man a couple more times before getting to my feet.

Delia’s POV
I awoke to the sound of classical music playing in the background as the windows automatically opened to let in a stream of heavy sunlight.
With a smile on my face, I touched my bedside to get my phone which had been automatically lodged in place from the night before.
Going through my social media, I found a shoe I had bookmarked to get later on but had not had the time to get it since I had been busy buying other things.
“I’ll just get it online then,” I said to myself as I entered the online shopping mall to see so many things I wanted.
I looked at the time to notice it was too late to go shopping anyway so I stayed in bed to do it online.
It took me thirty minutes to get what I wanted and order it as I started out of the room to see if Asher was having breakfast.
I headed for the dining table where he usually stayed around this time to have breakfast but I found the maids cleaning the table.
That was a sign that he had finished breakfast and had left the house for work.
He was usually gone by this time and I never got to see him much these days.
“Good morning madam president,” a maid greeted me as I smiled at this. It never got old having to listen to them call me that.
With a nod I walked to the balcony to look at the lands before me.
This was the life I had always craved and dreamed of having.
I had always seen Asher as my dream man and when I had heard he would be getting married to Zendaya Montclair, I had lost my mind.
I started to think there would be no hope for me but when I heard about how badly their marriage had ended, it had made me believe that I still had a chance.
I entered my room to have my bath so I would go about for other things when a knock came on my door.
It opened with a maid I had given my letter to give to Asher entering the room. She had a sad face with the letter still in her hand.
“You didn’t give it to him?” I asked in anger.
“He refused to take it,” she said, holding the letter in her hand.
“You stupid girl,” I grunted, taking my phone from the bed to throw at her.
She blocked it with her hand as it bounced off her elbow falling to the ground.
In anger, I snatched the letter from her hand to drop in my bag.
“Get out of here!” I yelled at her as she nodded, picking up my phone to keep in the bed before leaving.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Asher had been dodging me for a while now and I wasn’t happy with it.
This was something he could easily have finished approving funds for, a long time ago but here he was dodging everything.
The letter had been for the sake of my father’s company as he needed funding for it.
Asher could easily get the funding approved as the president but he preferred playing the hide and seek game with me.
I had already planned the funding part with my father and we knew how much was needed. The president was the only problem we were having right now.
