Chapter 82
Zendaya’s POV
I could not believe my ears. What had he done it for? Why? What did he have to gain?
“What?” I gasped after he had said it. I suddenly felt dizzy and my anger hit the better of me. “What did you just say?”
“I asked if you liked the little present I got you,” he repeated with a dirty smirk.
“This… is what you call a little present? What is the meaning of this?”
“This is my token of love for you,” he went on to say as I got mad even more.
“How did you do it?” I asked, wanting to know how he had done it.
“Oh, if I told you my secrets then it wouldn’t be a surprise now would it?”
“Don’t start with me Travis,” I growled. “How did you do it?”
“Fine,” he sighed. “Since you want to know so badly, I’ll tell you. I got to your room and found your laptop just sitting on your bed. It was barely closed and that was when I saw everything on your screen. I copied everything and used everything. I sent it out to my buddy and voila! Here we are.”
I did not know what to feel or how to feel anything. What to do and how to do it. He was a monster for doing this.
“Hey, it’s cause to celebrate,” he smiled. “We did it. In fact, I fit us a little something to celebrate with.”
He walked to a fridge in the room, getting out an expensive wine as he potted some wine into a cup, handing it to me. I slapped it out of his hand as he chuckled.
“Come on love,” he smiled. “That was a waste of perfectly good wine.”
“What have you done?!” I yelled. “Why would you go behind my back to do something that dangerous?!”
“Don’t blame me for this,” he sighed. “This was the original plan. If anyone is to be blamed for this it should be you. You’re the one who decided to deviate from the plan. You shouldn’t do that. We had a plan and we had a future to accomplish together.
“This guy showed up and tried to ruin everything. I just helped you get your mind back on track so you wouldn’t forget what you are supposed to do and what you need to do. I helped you get a grip on the life we are supposed to have. You should be thanking me.”
I could not feel anything but rage at this moment. I held the chair by my side to keep myself up. This was a terrible thing to do.
“It was our plan to bring him down after all. Don’t tell me you’re beginning to get soft on me now. You brought down your own family. Your own flesh and blood.”
“Because they deserved it…” I said.
“And he doesn’t?!” He laughed. “What about your other friends? Did they deserve it too? Did they do to you half of what he did to you? Or you’re going around choosing sides. They didn’t and you know it. You left him for last because he was special.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
“You wanted his downfall to be loud and you wanted everyone to hear him fall. And I supported you. Suddenly you started going on dates with him and you suddenly had the guts to tell me that you’re dropping out of this revenge plan? You are not doing it.
“If you were going to drop out of it that’s fine, but I wasn’t. He was the only thing stopping us from being happy and I took care of it.”
I was shocked at what kind of monster he was.
He dropped the wine bottle on the floor to round the table and get a black box.
He immediately came to stand before me, kneeling on a knee with the box open for me to see a ring in it.
“Will you marry me?” He asked as I stared at him in shock.

Travis’s POV
I had been expecting her to say a resounding yes to my proposal even when it was unplanned and sudden, instead she removed her hand from my grip and backed away slowly.
“I will never marry someone like you,” she said with anger in her eyes.
I was shocked after being rejected. I thought we loved each other. I had done everything by the book for her. Why was she acting this way?
“Why are you rejecting my proposal?” I asked to my feet. “I did everything by the book, I helped you achieve our goal. I was supposed to be important to you and you to me. I helped you up to this position. Why are you pushing me away?”
“I don’t want to be with someone this evil, Travis.”
“Don’t deflect zen,” I sighed. “Is it the damned president again?”
“Yes,” she said with her eyes filled with tears. My heart shattered after hearing it. It wasn’t like I had not expected this kind of news. I had and that was why it hurt me even more. “I have been falling for Asher all this time and I cannot deny it any longer.
“I don’t want to have a loveless marriage between us.”
“I can’t believe it,” I sighed. Even after having the revenge which we had both planned on accomplishing, it still did nothing. All this time I had wasted my time with her. My resources. I had left my home country for her.
I had been warned by my mother and friend and I had chosen to ignore them and go with love. This was where it had ended up. In the garbage.
“I will leave your house as soon as possible with the kids,” she sniffed. “I’m sorry Travis, I really am, but my mind is made up. I cannot be with you.”
I watched her leave the study as I stood in my spot watching my life crumble before my very eyes.
