Chapter 145
Zendaya’s POV
I was so relieved after going through the file and finding out she had nothing. I should have known this was going to be a waste of my time but I wanted to see what she had against me.
Standing before her, I was disappointed. I could not believe she had thought she had a shot against me. What was this madness?
She was really incompetent. Did she think she could call me out and blackmail me? This was my game. I was the one who blackmailed others and not the other way around.
In a couple of days of me being in the states, I had brought down my family, my ex lover, my best friend and almost brought down Asher which I ultimately did later on unknowingly. That was how powerful I was.
This woman didn’t know she had drawn a battle line with me and I would make sure she regretted what she had done to me.
She didn’t have much evidence against me. In fact, this wasn’t evidence against me. It was against Travis. He was the one who would be arrested if he was free and not me. He had been the one who had used stolen money for the company and not me. I was in the clear.
Asher held me as he kept laughing, the woman before me feeling stupid. I felt so bad for her that I had decided to give her free lessons on how to blackmail but even that would not be enough to help her.
She needed more than that to get out of the mess she was in. I could sue her for blackmailing me even with this stupid evidence she had. That would be so terrible for her as she would be in prison for defamation or blackmail if it went through.
“You both should stop laughing this instant!” Delia yelled, stomping on the ground like a child who was mad at her parents. “That is evidence enough to put her in prison for life.”
“Delia, darling,” I sighed, feeling pity for her. She must have put in a lot of work for this information. “I’m not sure you know how the law works. It doesn’t work like this.”
“I am the First Lady of this country! Don’t you tell me how that law works and how it doesn’t!” She yelled, getting Asher to smack his forehead in anger.
“God, I can’t believe I married a cow,” he said. “You are so dumb that I could sell your brain right now and be broke from what I just sold out. What do you mean? Being the First Lady does not automatically make you aware of every law.
“That’s why you have advisers to tell you what you should do and what you should not. I gave you advisers but you didn’t need them so you had them exchanged for maids and dressers and makeup artists. It says a lot about you.
“Besides, if you really knew the law, then you would know that you just provided more evidence against Travis who is already in prison and not against Zendaya who has nothing to do with what you’re trying to say.”
“I’m so sorry for the embarrassment,” I sighed to her. “I don’t know how much you must have paid your detective to go underground for this but you’ll have to ask for a refund.”
“You little bitch!” she screeched, rushing into me as Asher came between us, stopping her from coming any further. I stayed behind him laughing as he pushed her away from me.
“How about you focus that energy on signing those divorce papers?” he asked. “I heard you tossed the other one that was given to you in your fathers house. The other one that was sent to you would be the last one.
“If anything happens to it, you would be arrested and I would force you to sign those papers under torture. Don’t test me Delia. Sign those papers and walk away without too much damage.
“I want a fresh start away from you with my new family. They mean a lot to me right now and I would be happy if you would just respect my wishes.”
“You should have been with me,” she cried. “I did everything for you.”
“Mention one good thing you’ve done for me.”
“I married you to boost up your status rating. Is that not enough?”
The man grunted while looking to the sky.
“That is not even your doing. That’s what I did for you. I boosted your ratings. You didn’t do anything for me. I could have gotten married to a mannequin and it would have boosted my ratings.
“So what’s your point? You haven’t been present for me when I needed warmth and affection. You’ve been busy with Iris and whatever toy boy you have across town.”
Her eyes widened as the man nodded with a devilish smile.
“Oh yeah,” he nodded. “I know. Now be a good sport and sign those papers so you can have complete and utter freedom to do whatever you want.”
“I will never let go of this,” she cursed at us while walking away from us. “I will make you both regret this. Do you hear me?! I will make sure you regret all of this!”
She got into her car and drove off as we entered my car while laughing at how her plans had failed.
“I even gave her a few pointers earlier,” I bawled out. “I can’t believe she still failed.”
He slapped the seat during his vigorous laughter, coughing so hard I thought he would die.
When we had calmed down, we looked at each other, holding each other’s hands with love.
“Please don’t go with her or anyone to any random place like that again. It could be a trap.”Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Sure,” I promised to not do it before we kissed. We got home to have hot steamy sex as we were turned on through the drive back.
