?Episode 27?

Bryce’s POV:

It has been two weeks since the ball, Penny has been avoiding me like a plague ever since that ball night.

I know I did seems like a creep that night, I can’t deny my attraction towards her anymore.

She was beautiful, respectful, she put her son first before anything else.

She was a wonderful.
I couldn’t help but keep thinking about her, even still with her smiles and kindness.

There was that darkness looming around her eyes.

She look torn, broken inside.

I wanted to help her.
But will she let me?

I want to stay faithful to my wife, i don’t want to cheat on her.

But Zen wasn’t helping matters at all.

She will be leaving for Mississippi tomorrow for a commercial shoot.

She doesn’t care about our child nor me. Her first and foremost priority is her job.

I sigh and swirl my chair around then rest my head on it.

The other day when Johann came to my office.

“She is beautiful dude, I see what got you crack up.” He said.

Was it her beautiful that attracted me?

Zen is a model and a very beautiful woman at that.

Bold and proud,

There is just something about that woman.

A soft knock came on the door and i mumbled a ‘come in’.

“Are you okay?” Avoice asked me. The owner of that voice has been avoiding me.

I turned around and saw her, she was wearing a blue shirt and a black pencil skirt.

I remembered telling her the other day that it fits her.

“I’m okay Miss James, take a seat.” I gestured her to a seat.

She mumbled a thank you and sat down.

“Here is the finalized decision with the project team.
My team and I calculated the expense it will take and it worth over 1.5b USD.”She said and I nodded attentively.

She dropped the file and pushed it towards me.

I opened the file and started going through each page one after the other.

“You don’t look okay Mr King,” she said and I paused my lip in a thin line.

“It is nothing for you to be worried about Penny, I’m just stressed out.” I replied, it was partially true though.

Ain’t going to discuss my matrimonial problem with my crush, no way.

“Is there anything I can help you with?” She asked me.

Looking at it from a different angle it makes me feel like she was hitting on me.

But the decent part of me said ‘no’.

She was just being caring and that’s it.

“Can you help me?can you really help me out?” I asked her.

I didn’t really know how the calm and collect environment became so hot all of a sudden.

The tension was so strong.

Her eyes flew wide and she blushed.

She quickly stood up and straightened her dress.

“See you later Sir, call me incase youre confused with anything.” She said innocently before walking towards the door.

“I sure will.”

Zendaya’s POV:

“You’re must be joking Sasha, am not going to tell my husband sht!” I yelled.

This btch is cr@zy!

She smirked and rolled her eyes.

“I don’t care how you do it Zendaya, you know what happens if you don’t grant my request.” She said sternly.

“I have nothing to do with Bryce empire, he control his properties. He wont even listen to me.” I tried to explain to her.

“He is your husband Zendaya, coax him. Try seducing him.” She explained and I sigh.

“Why are you even doing this?” I asked her.

“Well, it looks as if your husband is quite fond of my sister.”She said and I arched my eyebrows.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” I interrogate her.

“I guess your husband is not innocent too.” She said walk out on me.

“Sasha we’re not done yet, come back here!” I shouted but she already walk out of the restaurant.

I groaned and hurriedly walk out of the restaurant as well.

I got inside my car and drove off.

When I got home, I parked my car and rushed inside.

“Martha, come here!” I called my cook.
“Yes Mrs King.”

“Do you know the woman with the name Penelope James?” I asked her and eye her suspiciously.

“Yes ma’am.”

“How? Where?”

“Mom, aunt Penny and James stayed here with us when you were not around.” I heard my daughter said behind me.

“What!”

That woman stayed here in my house without my permission?

I gritted my teeth and storm out of the house.

I’ll teach that daughter of a whore just how to treat btches like her.

I entered my car and drove off.

Penny’s POV:

I stared at my computer while my other hand was rolling the mouse around.

My office door was suddenly yanked open and a furious Zendaya walk in.

I stood up from my chair and look confused.

“Mrs King, what’s going on?” I asked. I was totally confused.

Instead what she did next surprise me.

She gave me ahard slap on the cheek.

My cheek stung at the harshness of the slap while my eyes burn with tears.

“Whore, husband snatcher, if I see you near my husband again. I’ll kill you.” She seethed out.

“What have I done?” I asked with tears in my eyes.

She glared at me murderously and swirl her finger.

“Stay away from Bryce or I’ll make your life miserable, I don’t say what i cant do Penelope.” She said and my tears roll down.

I wasnt thinking of stealing her husband.

I can’t do it.

“Mr King and i are just friends Mrs King, I wonder where you got that information from but he is all yours.” I said confidently.

I cant let her see my tears. It will make me look pathetic.

“Stay away from Bryce if you still want this job Miss James, Bryce is mine, his empire is mine. Every single thing about him is mine so stay far off if you dont wanna get burnt.” She warned and I nodded obediently and she dashed out of the office,closing the door with a bang.

This was what i had been running away from.

I dont want drama.

I still love my quiet life, why can’t he give me that?

Why disturbing and putting me in trouble Bryce?
