Chapter 172
Zendaya’s POV
“So if you can repeat some of those things again that would be great,” the inspector said to me as I nodded.
“Sure. What do you want to know?” I answered, sitting up.
“Can you tell us what you know about the place you were staying in?”
“Like I said earlier, I don’t know. When I was kidnapped I was drugged to sleep. I woke up and found myself in a room with no window but a small air vent at the top of the building.”
“Okay, that’s going to be hard to locate. And who was your captor?”
“It was a man that I had never seen before. His legs were really skinny but his arms were very large like he was a bodybuilder. But Delia came in there a couple of times to see me and threaten me.”
“Did she ever say she was going to kill you?”
“No, she did say she would collect a ransom from Asher but I didn’t know if she did so or not.”
“You said you stayed there for a few days. When did she shoot you?”
“I can’t really say, I just know that she came over one night very furious about her conversation with Asher and she grabbed me with someone. They ran out in the woods with me tagging along and they knelt me down. She took out a gun and pointed at me.”
“That was when she fired it.”
“Yes,” I nodded.
“Alright,” he said, going over what he had written while stopping his recorder. “You should rest easy. I’m wishing you a good recovery.”
“Thank you,” I said to him as he left. Asher told the doctors and nurses to leave, giving us privacy as we started to kiss before the door opened with Aurora and the children getting in.
They all cheered and were overjoyed when I told them that my memories were back.
Aurora and I bonded some more while Asher took the children to a section of the hospital to play.
We stayed alone, talking of how the birthday had almost been my last day.
“I’m glad it wasn’t,” she said with a sigh of relief.
“Me too,” I said. “I feel like the poison was a blessing seeing as I now have my memories thanks to it.”
“A blessing in disguise.”
“Yeah.”
“I heard from Asher that it was Delia who did this to you. Is that true?”
“I mean… she is a murderer if we look at it from that angle.”
“Why would she try to kill you? You haven’t done anything to her?”
“To you, I haven’t but to her, I have. I am the main reason for her pain. She doesn’t care about who she hurts. As long as I am taken out from the equation she’s happy.”
“I can’t wait to see her. I will drive a stake through her cold wicked heart.”
“I wish I could say the same thing but that would be murder.”
“I don’t mind being a murderer to a murderer. She has tried to kill you countless times. How many times would you keep being merciful to someone who is like that?”NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
She was right, but there was nothing I could do at this point. I did wish the police would apprehend her and put an end to this madness as I was getting tired of being caught up in her crazy behavior.
Asher came back with two of the children sleepy and Layla still full of energy.
“I paid for a room so there’s a nurse outside who would take you all to the room. I’ll stay here with zen,” he said as Aurora kissed my cheek and left with the children.
He turned to me with a naughty look on his face.
“What is it?” I smiled.
“I don’t know,” he paced around the room. “I’ve missed you.”
I could say the same thing. I was glad that we were all reunited. This was the best birthday gift ever. Yes, I had almost died on my birthday but it was still amazing to see that I had my whole family with me.
My memories were back and I was a happy person who had a happy family.
The next day, my scans came back perfectly fine as I was seen as healthy to leave. The doctors were amazed at my health but they had warnings to give out.
“You’ve been in so much trouble these past few weeks, miss Zendaya,” one of the doctors laughed. “I would suggest you chill out when making a new decision.”
“Sure thing doctor,” I smiled when I had worn my jacket and was about to leave.
“I’m very happy that you’re getting better by the second, however when you get home, I will send you or your husband a treatment plan and exercise plan which would help your body get even stronger.
“Dieting is also very important so don’t mess around with the food you eat. Don’t forget to drink enough water and make sure to take the drugs we’ve given to you. All of these would help you live a long and healthy life.”
“Thanks doctor but you’re talking to me like I’m a thousand years old,” I laughed.
I was released and we all entered the car, going home.
The children played in the limousine while Aurora did her aunty duties by helping them to stay still.
I laughed with Asher at the edge of the seat watching them.
When I got home, I found that Aurora and the children had planned with her husband and Asher to create a banner and banquet for my return.
I felt so honored as I thanked them and ate with the family at the dining table set in the garden.
We all had a great time talking to each other and I finally got to meet aurora’s husband who was not a bad man.
When the meal was finished, she left with her husband while the children entered the house to watch television.
