Love Found Me

Zara's POV

" Kyle"... I mumbled,my voice cracking from crying too long.

The sound of the waters,like that of a rushing wind, starring at the sunset which was beautiful to behold.

My hazel eyes welled up with tears as I started at the sea, saying goodbye to him was way harder than I had imagined.

"Kyle, why did you have to leave me so soon"I mumbled under my breath. I had always blamed myself for being responsible for his death,if only he hadn't jumped into the water to save me,he might have been alive today.

I was carried away and I had almost forgotten I wasn't alone here.

"Zara, we have to be on our way now,else we would arrive at Yaben late, we have been here for hours already" Sophia said.

"I won't be long" I replied,my voice just barely above a whisper.

" I will be waiting in the car "she said as she walked away.

Kyle was my elder brother,and the oldest of my parents,he had died a long time ago,while trying to save me from drowning, everything was just still clear in my memory,like it happened yesterday.

It has been fifteen years already,and to honor his death,I come to the same place every year,to cry my eyes out.

" Are you sure you are fine?"Sophia asked bringing me back to reality.

" You do this every year, always coming to this same place to cry your eyes out, don't you think it's time to let go of the past and move on with your life, besides it isn't your fault,you were way younger then" she said.

" I am fine," I replied forcing a smile.

I held my self responsible for his death,if only we hadn't come to the beach on vacation,if only I hadn't gotten into the water..I thought as we drove off.

Sophia was my personal assistant she was always opened to me and that was why I liked her, and took her as my sister.

As happy as I may sound,I still always shivered in fear, thinking of how to face my mother, ever since the death of my brother,she hasn't forgiven me she believed I killed my brother,her eldest son,she has the hatred that I was responsible for the death of her child.

I had always been the odd one out, after my brother passed away,I was bullied constantly in high school for causing my brothers death.

Jasper was my younger brother,whom I loved so much but he was scared of coming close to me,my mum also made it obvious that she loves him more than she loves me,as if that wasn't enough,she wants to make him the next successor of my grandfather's company.

Jaspher wasn't a smart kid,he was constantly being bullied when we were in high school,over the years he had turn into a tall, fair complexioned,young man with a skinny body ,and a blue eyes,round face which was complimented with a small reddish lips, he had a body of a model,and he always made sure he has a clean shave.

"Zara" Sophia's voice brought my attention back to the present.

"Oh-um-" I stuttered, unable to find my words.

"We are here" she said.

It was already dark,I had no clue I was lost in thought for that long.

I came down quietly from the car.

"Goodnight Zara" Sophia said.

I watched as the car zoomed off until I could see it no more.

Looking at the Mansion,my nervousness picked as I walked closer, different thoughts traveled through my mind,I kept wondering how long I was going to continuing living this way.

Quickly composing myself,I walked quietly into the mansion,only to be greeted by my mother's voice.

" Well,well,look who decided to grace us with her presence" my mother said,her eyes locking onto mine making me feel so uneasy.

" I see you have gotten quite busier that we don't get to see u often" my dad said standing next to my mum.

I stood there uncomfortably and it felt like I was naked before them.

Jasper who had been there with them observing quickly said..

" Let her be mum, she's obviously tired" ..

I clenched my fists and walked away,determined not to let them see the fear in my eyes.

Locking myself in my room,I could hear the whispers and how they laughed amongst themselves.

" I guess this isn't going to end in a long time" I said to myself. Climbing unto my bed which was soft, caressing my skin, i decided to cry myself to sleep.

I was awakened in the early hours of the morning by my grandfather's voice which of course was followed by a loud knock banging on my door.

"Get up Zara, it's daybreak" my grandfather said.

Half awake and half asleep,I checked my time and it was just six in the morning.

" What kind of a man is this" I mumbled under my breathe " doesn't he sleep at all? I asked my self.

Tossing to and fro on my King sized mattress, I lazily got up from the bed, standing in front of my giant mirror,I guess I must have cried a lot because my eyes was obviously swollen, smiling to myself I said "it's another day to be strong Zara". I got into the shower to take my bath...

With the water touching and running down my bare skin, I felt relieved, making me forget my worries temporarily. No

You are going to be fine, I reassured myself...

Coming out of the shower,with water dripping off my skin, I reached for my pink towel and tied it firmly round my chest,I wasn't the busty type of lady so it was easier for me to tie my towel, and after applying my skin care, I searched for what to wear, after going through few of my clothes, I decided to put on a light blue short gown, also remembering to apply my makeup.

Still sitting in front of my dressing mirror...

" I need to visit the salon soon," I muttered to myself while packing my favorite ponytail.

Standing from the giant glass I headed to look for what to wear from my shoe rack and my eye caught the red heels I had gotten as a limited edition the previous month,it was quite an expensive one.

Putting the shoe on, it fitted perfectly complimenting my gown,I spinned and smiled, feeling something was missing in my outfit,I remembered I hadn't looked for a bag, looking through various designer bags that I had,I finally reached for my favorite Dior bag.

Seeing I was ready, I opened the door and got out of the room, walking quietly. I was stopped by my grandfather's voice.

" Are you not going to eat something before leaving?"he asked.

" I will be late for work," I replied turning away.

" We need to talk when you get back"

My grandfather has always believed it was best for us to live together with him in the mansion as a family ever since he lost his wife,who was my grandmother ten years ago.

Leah who was my grandmother,was a very beautiful woman with a lovely and curly hair,a round face complimented by a brownish eyeballs,she always had a warm and bright smile,she was perfect to behold, rumors had it that I took after her,she got married to my grandfather at a young age,she was a very strong and hardworking woman,who gave birth to two sons and a daughter.

My father Jack, who was the second of the three children,was quite handsome and tall,had a brownish skinned complexion and even in his late fifties he was quite agile but left everything, even his family, to be taken care of by my grandfather.

My Aunt Jane,who was my father's younger sister, has been married and divorced twice and was living with us in the mansion. She was a beautiful woman with a lousy character,but I bonded with her the most because she understands me better than my mother ever did.

My grandfather's first son, Uncle Jude left three years after the death of my grandmother after my grandfather decided to get remarried, he was against the idea, so were his siblings. Seeing his children were not in support of him getting remarried he kept her as his mistress.

Grace, my grandfather's mistress, was a woman in her early sixties, looking younger than her age had been with my grandfather for the past seven years.

We all lived under the same roof but not as a family. The only time we came together was during emergencies.

It was a sunny Thursday morning,I had just left the mansion, with my driver and Sophia waiting outside the car for me.

" Good morning Zara"Sophia greeted.

"Morning Sophia" I replied

" I guess it's a good morning after all" I said while getting into the car, happy I didn't get to meet my mother that morning.

As we drove off the mansion,I curiously asked Sophia.

" What do you think my grandfather has to tell me?"

" Hmm...I really can't say,but I guess he might want to talk to you about Marriage" she replied.

" What?you must be joking",I said, almost screaming.

" Uhm...But you know you should get married,you are twenty nine already "she continued.

" Who will marry me?,besides I'm not ready for that I have plans of joining the Trillionaires Club before the year ends, you should know better "

" I know but..."

" No but's", I cut her off even before she could finish talking .

" It's a beautiful day, let's just enjoy it,what's my schedule like for the day? "I asked as I got out of the car.

" You have a board meeting with the directors this morning,followed by a seminar. In the afternoon, you have an appointment with with Mr. Hermes, and don't forget the project you are expected to sign today"she replied walking beside me to my office.

" Do I even have a break?"I mumbled while walking into the office.

" Good morning ma'am" I was welcomed by my secretary.

" Morning Stephanie,I hope you had a nice nightrest" I asked her.

" Yes thank you ma'am, you got a call from one of the clients you met last week and also, Team A submitted their last week report."

"I'll go get it for you to sign," she continued.

" Oh yes, thank you,and you can take your leave" I said to both Sophia and Stephanie, while sitting I brought out my phone.

I was going through the reports Stephanie had brought in earlier, when my phone beeped, I checked and saw a message from my mother, I ignored the message dropping my phone almost immediately and I went to attend the meeting.

It was an hectic day, and I hadn't eaten all day, I called my secretary to prepare a cup of coffee for me, almost done with the day,I picked up my phone to check my mother's message,while taking the coffee.

" I set you up on a blind date" I read.

"Why does she wants me to get married?" I asked myself

dropping my phone.

Sophia voice interrupted my thoughts.

"The car is here" She said

Getting into the car, occupied with a lot of thoughts while going back to the Mansion.

" We are here" Sophia said tapping my shoulder.

" Oh thank you. Goodnight"I answered.

Stepping into the Mansion, a familiar voice stopped me.

" So, did you go on the blind date that I had set up?"my mother asked.

" I was busy" I replied walking away almost immediately.

"Oh you are home quite early today" I heard

" Yes Aunt besides it's past 8 already, is grandpa at home" . I replied

" Yes, he is in the garden"

I walked into the garden to meet my grandfather.

" Good evening grandpa, you wanted to see me?, are you feeling unwell?"i asked curiously.

" I'm okay Zara, I just wanted to talk to you about you getting married, you know I'm getting older and I can't run around much longer, so I want you to come back to the Head branch as the Chairwoman, you know your Dad is already the Head of Directors."

" Grandpa that's too much, don't you think? But I'll think about it" I said turning away.

Chapter Two

Zara's POV

It's been several months already and Sophia was getting married, and she also has invited me to come over to her wedding, the ceremony was to take place in few days time and I haven't even decided if I'm to go or not, after few thoughts, I decided I will attend her reception and stay for few minutes, searching for what to wear I stopped hearing my phone ring,I looked at the screen to see who was calling...

" Speak of the she devil" I said, picking up the call.

"Zara" Sophia said, almost screaming on the phone.

" You know this is the third time you are Calling me today Sophia " I continued

" Are you counting it?" She said laughing at the other end.

" Of course I am," I answered jokingly.

" Well, I just wanted to make sure you forget, because I don't want to hear excuses of how busy you were," she continued.

" No worries,I'll come" I answered, even if I was still undecided.

"Thank you" she said, hanging up.

She wouldn't even allow me breathe, I said dropping my phone and smiling to myself.

" Is she that excited to get married?"I asked myself.

Sitting amongst the congregation in the reception hall,I could see Sophia in her white lace wedding gown which was simple yet classy, sparkling with beads, the wedding wasn't an elaborate one,it was just family and friends.

sitting quietly at a corner table I watched as the bride and groom danced.

" She's finally married" I thought to myself. It wasn't long that a voice interrupted my thoughts bringing me back to the present.

" Hi beautiful" the voice said

Turning to see who it was..

" Yea..uhm..hi" I replied almost stammering,I couldn't believe my eyes,I mean I have seen and met a lot of men before but what I saw was really breathtaking that I couldn't take my eyes off him, his voice gave me butterflies,I couldn't believe someone's voice could be soothing and make you forget about your worries temporarily.

" My name is Rowan,"he said, smiling.

Still staring at him..

" I am Zara" I managed to answer.

Rowan was a fair tall guy,with a straight nose, chiseled jawline,bright piercing blue eyes, white teeths, full lips, broad shoulders,toned muscles,and well groomed hair also with a personal fashion style.

" It's nice meeting you,I saw you from afar and noticed you were sitting alone," he continued.

"Yea..uhm I was about leaving" I replied

" Here he said," stretching out his card to me.

I collected the card smiling

" Look who we have here, I see you made it" a familiar voice interrupted

" You wouldn't allow me to rest," I said, turning to Sophia.

" Congratulations I'm happy for you" I continued

" Don't worry,you are next"she said jokingly while leaning in for a hug.

" Thank you for coming,"she said, pulling away.

" You are welcome, i sent you a gift,do well to check it later okay? I have to go now, Congratulations,the gown looks good on you" I said walking away.

" But it would look better on you, you know right?" She said laughing .

I got into my Rolls Royce,and pulled out the card Rowan had given to me previously.

" Oh, I see ,he is a lawyer at a JAYs firm" which was one of the biggest firm at Yaren, I scanned though the card and saw his number at the lower end of the card, hesitating if I should put a call through or not, I dropped the card back in my bag.

" Drop me at the salon,my hair needs a retouch" I told my driver.

" Thank you,I'll put a call through when I'm done" I said getting out of the car.

Looking at my wristwatch, it was past two pm.

" Let's get this done on time" I muttered to myself while going into the VIP room.

" Ta-da,"my hair stylist said.

" You look so beautiful,I told you it was going to fit you" She continued.

" I'm impressed," I said smiling to her while admiring myself in the mirror. She did a perfect job, exactly what I wanted. That's why she was my favorite stylist..

Coming out after being done, I am trying to get through to my driver,but his number isn't going through, so I decided to take a taxi home since it was getting late,and I needed to rest. Surprised to see a car packed right in front of me and a familiar figure came out of it.

" We meet again" he said

" Rowan?Are you stalking me? What are u doing around here?"i asked him

" Stalk you"? Why will I do that? I was just on my way home and I saw someone who looked familiar, so I stopped to see . I realized it was you, what a coincidence or should I call it fate?"

" Fate indeed"I replied obviously blushing.

" What are you doing around here?"he asked.

" I was waiting for a taxi, to take me home" I answered

" Oh ..wow.. I can actually drop you off, if you don't mind " he requested while smiling.

His smile gave me butterflies, and sent electric chill all over my body.

" Yea, sure" I said, following him as he led me to the car.

I never expected to see Rowan so soon,I hadn't imagined it at least,I glanced at him while he was driving,I had to admit within myself that I would certainly want to see him again.

" Well...are you going to continue staring at me or you are going to say what's on your mind?"his voice jolted me back to the present.

" Uhm ..oh, it's nothing, I was just admiring your fingers" I said without thinking.

" Well.. I have been thinking,and I don't know if it's too early to say this, but since it's just past seven pm, hmmm..can I buy you dinner?" He asked.

" Yea, Sure,I'm hungry"I replied smiling.

I don't know why I felt so comfortable around him,I also can't believe I stupidly agreed .

Rowan stopped at a restaurant, coming out of the car first, he opened the door for me,pulled a chair for me to sit,and he also made an order for us,he was so romantic.

" I ordered pasta, and I thought you would prefer fruit juice to wine," he said.

" Anything is fine with me"I answered.

" I hope you like the place" he continued

" Uhm... yea, it's nice " I replied

It was a quiet,cool rooftop restaurant with a sunset view.

" I guess the sunset makes you more beautiful, " he said.

I have been smiling ever since I met Rowan, he was a sugar coated mouthed guy, always having the perfect words for everything, and I felt genuinely happy after a long time.

" Thanks for today" I said getting out in front of the mansion.

" The pleasure is mine, Goodnight beautiful" he smiled and zoomed off.

I entered to take a bath,after putting on my pajamas,I felt I should text him because I have been thinking about him and blushing all the time.

I picked up my phone and texted the number on the card, and almost immediately a message popped up on my phone.

" Ooh..Zara,I forgot to ask for your number, I guess I was too excited,thank God you messaged" it read.

" Ooh,right I see, I just wanted to thank you for today" I texted

" Then,I guess we can do this again right?"I read.

" Maybe, I'll think about it " I replied

" Take your time okay" he texted with lots of love emoji.

I was feeling so excited as I fell to my bed, tossing happily.

It's been four months, and Rowan has been showering me with love and affection,he took me to beaches, restaurants, art galleries, movie theaters and cinemas.

My phone rang and picking it up almost immediately

" Hello baby, I have a reservation for us tonight by seven thirty pm I'll come pick you up okay?" he said sweetly.

" Cancel all my meetings and appointments for seven downwards" I told my secretary.

I felt so eager as I waited for seven thirty,I quickly got changed,and was waiting for him when my phone rang.

" I'm outside" he said

" I'm on my way" I replied getting out of my room.

It was the first restaurant we both had come to four months ago,it was quite familiar, but surprisingly it was just the both of us,

" You remember this place right?"he asked

" Yes I remember,this was the first place we ate together, but I can't see anyone here" I answered

" That's because I rented it for the night" he said

" You look beautiful tonight" he whispered

" Thank you baby" I said grinning as I ate.

He was awkwardly silent, during the meal,and I was worried because Rowan was more of a sweet talker even during meals.

" Are you okay?I asked curiously

" Yea, I'm fine " he answered

" But you don't look fine to me? is anything bothering you?I continued

"Well..uhm..Zara, I Love you, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me,I don't want to lose you,I can't live without you,I want you to be by my side forever"he said while getting on his knees.

" Will you marry me and make me the happiest man on earth?, I know I'm only a lawyer,but I promise never to make you cry" he continued as he brought out a diamond ring.

" Yes, Rowan, I will marry you" I said, stretching out my hand,as tears dropped down my eyes, I was really happy, he finally popped the question, standing up, he hugged and Kissed me.

My grandfather was so happy, hearing that I am getting married, he made sure we rushed the process and I got married to Rowan two weeks after.

Rowan moved from the law firm where he worked to my grandfather's company because my grandfather was persistent that he should work somewhere larger.

Coming out of the shower,with my towel on, it's been a year already and everything still seems like a dream..

" Morning baby" Rowan said, walking to where I stood

" Morning" I said

" You don't need this you know" he said pulling my towel away, making me stand naked, while he pulled off his shorts.

" Not this morning baby, we had sex last night" I said bending to pick up my towel off the floor.

" I can't seem to get enough of you" he said grabbing my waist quickly so I couldn't get up.

" Just give me 10 minutes okay, I won't be long" he continued pinning my knees to the ground and thrusting in.

" Ouch, Rowan " I moaned

"Yes baby,call my name" he said, kissing me as he thrusted him faster and harder.

It felt so good,I didn't want him to stop, I decided to change position by wrapping my legs around his waist.

" Yes baby" he groaned loudly as he pulled out.

Rowan has being like this for a year,he's so passionate about having sex.

" Congratulations,you are four weeks pregnant" the doctor said

" What?" I said staring at Rowan who was beaming with smiles.

"Thank you Doc."he replied

" You need alot of rest, and I won't advice you to do heavy tasks, Congratulations" she continued.

Rowan had gone out and I was left alone in the house because my grandfather didn't allow me come to work neither did Rowan allow me do anything, I decided to take a coldbath,it was a sunny afternoon, I used the bathtub and took my bath, I was dripping of water,I couldn't find my towel,I got out of the bathtub,but slipped landing on the floor with my tummy, I lost consciousness.

Opened my eyes,and saw Rowan besides me on the bed.

" What happened?, how did I get here, where am I?"i asked.

" I found you unconscious on the floor so I brought you to the hospital ".he said

" I'm sorry,she lost the baby,but she still needs to rest" the Doctors voice interrupted us.

My head spinned to hearing what was said,my heart ached, Rowan got up immediately and left .

It's been six months after the miscarriage, Rowan seemed to be far from me, he hasn't been the sweet man I knew, he blamed me for losing our child, he has not been coming home either, I began suspecting him for cheating.

" What?"i shouted

I entered the room, seeing clothes scattered around the room, accompanied by soft moans, I saw Rowan on a lady, having sex in our bedroom, I couldn't believe what I just saw, I can't believe Rowan could do that to me, I suspected him of cheating but not in our bedroom.

" Impossible..that cannot be him," I muttered, it was driving me crazy.

Going back into the bedroom to confront him, the lady quickly covered herself up and rushed out. Rowan did not even show a sign of remorse.

"Rowan,I will wait for you in the living room". I finally managed to croak, trying so hard not to cry. I wish it was all a dream, a bad dream,that would go away.

" In our bedroom?I shouted immediately as he came to the living room.

" I don't know why it matters, do I have to explain anything?" he fired back at me.

" What?" I asked shocked

" Hadn't you been so careless,we wouldn't have lost a baby" he continued

" If that's what you think,then why are you still in this marriage? I asked, screaming.

"It's because I pity you, no man will marry you, I'm still here out of pity" he replied.

I cannot be mistaken,I heard it right, I stood there glued and frozen.

" Let's get a divorce,I'm tired of all this" I finally said, pushing him away.

" What?that's a perfect idea" I heard him say.

Chapter Three

Zara's POV

Shattered and broken,with tears rolling down my face,I needed to get my act together,I do not wish to see him again,I needed to clear my head,so I drove to a bar close to the house,thinking of what to do, I eventually came up with a plan, I checked my time and it was just twelve noon,I decided to call my lawyer first, then go to the bank,cancel all credit cards and make sure I closed all the accounts that we both had. Picking up my phone I dialed my lawyers number.

" I'm lodging for a divorce,can I book an appointment?" I said

" Whhhaat? Uhm... sure, I'll get back to you" he replied on the other end.

Trying hard to fight my tears back,I hung up the phone.

After I had taken few drinks,I thought it would be better to head to the bank now before Rowan gets ahead of me,I stood up,paid for my drink and drove straight home, luckily enough for me I didn't meet Rowan at home,I quickly took a quick bath,wore a nice dress, while I was about leaving the bedroom,I saw our wedding picture that we had framed,with Rowan and myself smiling I found tears running down my eyes again. I had promised myself not to cry anymore,he doesn't deserve any of my tears.

The drive to the bank was quick and was a quiet one,and luckily for me the queue was moving quite fast, as I waited for my turn,my mind kept flashing back to what just happened I decided to listen to a song that might make me feel better than what I'm feeling right now.

It was eventually my turn, checking the time it was one forty-five pm already, I spoke to the concierge about why I was there,and I was taken the Manager's office to speak with the manager.

" What can we do for you ma'am" he asked.

" I am here to close my account" I replied politely and cautiously,he was a bit shocked because I was closing a huge sum of amount.

This was my first real step to end this marriage and get revenge on that cheating bastard, I hope he enjoys what he is about to get from me,which of course will be the greatest shock and suprise of his life.

As I walked out of the bank, trying of what I wanted to do next and how I was going to break the news to my parents and grandfather, an idea popped in my head, I was going to list our home,I was literally on fire and revenge had gotten my claws out,I decided to take my things out of the house and look for a new place first because I couldn't go back to the mansion,it was going to be a living hell for me and besides getting a house or penthouse suite won't be a problem for me.

I got back back home and Rowan hadn't gotten back, I guess he wouldn't be coming home for a while, it was a long and memorable day for me,I fell to my bed and almost immediately I slept off.

Luckily for me,the next day was a weekend,I decided to look for Helen's number she was my friend and was into real estate and listing of houses.

" Been a while Zara" she said

" Yea, Morning, I would like to list my house, I ll send you the land deed from when I purchased the house" I said and hung up not allowing her ask any further questions.

I looked for my land deeds, sent it to her,she had the paperwork done and listed it, everything was falling into places just as I expected it to be.

Falling back to my bed,I called my grandfather and broke my news to him including the divorce part which of course everyone will hear of.

" Grandpa,I ll like to take some months off" I finally managed to say after much thoughts.

He finally agreed to give me six months off after much pleas.

My phone rang almost immediately I dropped my grandfather's and it was Helen calling..

" Hello, Helen" I answered

" Can we meet up tomorrow" she asked

" Yes sure,thank you" I said hanging up.

I can't wait for all this to be over, I thought, remembering I had to meet to meet my lawyer today,I took a quick shower and headed to meet him at a cafe since it was on a weekend.

" Zara are you sure about this? you know you can talk to me and we can always talk things out with him" he prompted, he has been my lawyer for eight years now.

" Can I get a divorce today?" I said bringing out the video I had copied from our CCTV footage and handling it over to him.

" I know you were going to say,i didn't have enough evidence " I continued

After watching and observing keenly for a while

" Well...uhm.. with this,I think we can try and if all goes as planned,you will have him gone by next week " he said.

" Thank you, and I will also like to make some changes in my will, I wish Rowan's share go to charity " I said

" That won't be a problem, you just need to sign a few documents " he told me

" Alright, I'll be waiting for the documents,thank you"I said while getting up.

Twas a Sunday morning, waking up to the sound of my alarm,I saw it was past nine in the morning, I turned to pick up my phone and I saw that I had already missed two calls from Helen, I almost forgot we were to meet today so I called her back.

" I have the paperwork ready and the price you asked,I'll like for you to sign it,also I looked up some penthouse for you too" she said

" Okay? Thank you, can you come over to my place or should we meet up somewhere?" I asked

" I'll just come over to your place instead " she said

" Okay, thank you that would be better" I hung up

That was so fast I thought.

Helen arrived two hours later, I signed the documents, then she showed me some of the penthouses she had looked up and I loved the third one she showed me on the computer screen,it was already furnished and she said it was five million pounds.

" Can I pay the owner four million in cash?" I had asked because I wanted to move in straightway.

"Well, we will have to talk to the owner first" she said

" Let me give him a call" she continued.

After patiently waiting for the call to end.

"He said he will accept your offer,only if you pay four million five hundred pounds" she finally said

" Ohh ..uhmmm,okay sure that's a relief,thank you Helen,I think I have to start clearing,and yes..if you see a buyer you can remove your commission" I said standing up.

It wasn't like I was interested in the money anyways

" I'll get back to you",she said while leaving.

" Can you call your auctioneer guy to come over and help me clear stuffs that I don't want" I shouted behind her.

The rest of the afternoon was spent packing the stuffs I wanted to take with me into boxes and bags.

It was Monday morning already,my lawyer called .

"Zara the divorce papers and the will are ready for signing " he said over the phone.

" You can come to my office by noon" he continued

By now the auctioneer guy arrived with his team and had started clearing the stuffs I don't want,the house was almost empty by now and by the end of four hours, the house was empty I had asked them to clear Rowan's stuffs too. I asked the guy if he could help me take some of my things to my new home,which he agreed collecting the address.

By now, my car was full with my boxes and bags, I decided to wait till it's noon before I finally leave.

Getting to my lawyer's office,signing the divorce papers and will didn't take much time,so I drove straight to my new home where I was sure Rowan wouldn't find me, at least not for now.

" Zara, you are starting afresh and you will do just fine" I said to myself taking a deep breath and zooming off.

Getting there,the suite was quite spacious,quiet with a breathtaking view, large bedrooms and expansive terrace.

My phone has been ringing non-stop and when I finally decided to pick it and see who it was,I smiled wickedly seeing Rowan's name.I have been expecting the bastard call all day.

" Zara,have you finally lost your fucking mind?have you gone crazy?he shouted immediately I picked up the call.

"I promise you don't want to see how crazy I can be, because you wouldn't even be able to breathe" I responded

" Well, I'm guessing you like my little surprise with the tone of your voice" I laughed

"I'm not signing those divorce papers"he continued

" Of course you are darling,but I won't force you to sign it, unless you want to see how far my grandfather can go," I said calmly.

" This is just the beginning sweetheart,what were you thinking? you can hurt me and go scot-free pretending like nothing happened?I hate to break the news to you but you made a grievous mistake, bye honey"

Hanging up the call,I laughed so loudly, feeling an instant relief,I was happy I was able to get back at him, I picked up my phone and made sure that I blocked his number and unfollowed him on all social media platform,I changed my profile from being married to single, uploaded a new picture,ordered for a box of chips and chicken and then put my phone on airplane mode,the house was set so I only had my clothes to arrange, halfway into unpacking and arranging my order was delivered and I signed.

Closing the door behind me,I devoured the food to my satisfaction and i didn't know when I slept off, tossing on my couch,I fell with a loud thud waking me up suddenly,I didn't realize that I have slept for four hours,I was so exhausted and lazily stood up to dispose the box I used to eat,I remembered my phone was still on airplane mode so I decided to put if off and almost immediately Helen's message popped up on my phone screen.

"I have found a buyer for your apartment,if you get this message call me" it read

Thinking she might have tried my number several times,I dialed her number and she picked it up almost immediately.

"Hello Zara,I have been trying your number for ages now" she said even before I could utter any word

"Yea,I just woke up,my phone was on airplane mode "I responded sitting on the couch

" I found someone who was interested in your apartment,but he said he'll pay three million pounds instead of the thirty-five hundred and so I decided to ask if you are okay with it"

" Hmm..okay..sure you can sell it,wire me two million pounds and take your fee of a million pounds,thank you"

"What?you meant what you just said right? because that's way above what I charged" she screamed.

" Let's just say it's your lucky day,thanks Helen,do have a nice night rest"

"A nice night rest , it is indeed thank you Zara"She hung up.

It wasn't like I needed the money anyways,I just wanted revenge and the dispose of the apartment.

It was just past eight,the night was still young so I decided to head downstairs using the elevator and almost immediately I got out of my apartment,a good looking man stepped out and that was when I noticed that he was my neighbor because it was a duplex penthouse,

"Hi,I guess you are my new neighbor that just packed in today" he said smiling at me as entered and descended down the building,I just stared at him coldly without uttering a word.

" Ohh..my bad,my name is Luke and I live nextdoor,I hope you cook well because you might see quite often" he continued

As I stepped out the elevator,I decided to walk down the street,then I heard Luke shouting behind me

" You might need someone to show you around you know?"

" Let the map do that asshole,Christ,I hate men, always jumping at women at any slightest opportunity motherfucking bastards" I cursed under my breath, walking away.
