Marriage and Annulment

When Zaneska returned, she found Zander dozing inside his car. She felt sorry for him because her actions had an effect on him. How would Mitch react if she found out Zander was here because he help her? She was probably irritated, but she didn’t want to tell Mitch what had happened so she wouldn’t be blamed for their fight.

It’s natural for Mitch to be upset because Zander didn’t say goodbye. There is nothing to be angry about in her opinion because they have done nothing wrong. Zaneska rapped on the car window to rouse him. Zander awoke and exited the vehicle.

“How are you doing? Who among them was in the hospital?” Zander asked.

“It was Lazzy, she slashed her wrist because she was pregnant, and the man wasn’t responsible for her,” Zaneska responded.

“Suicide is not a solution,” Zander stated.

“Yeah, you’re right, because the man who got her pregnant has a girlfriend, and she’ll just commit suicide out of desperation because she loves the man but he doesn’t love her,” she replied.

“Who got her pregnant?”

“It was Lucas, my company driver; I’m so busy that I have no idea what’s going on, but they’re both adults, so there’s no problem; they’re the ones who have to clean up their mess.”

Zander was exhausted and hungry. He intended to return home because his mother might be looking for him. They had no idea he was in the city. He abruptly follows Zaneska. He admitted that he avoided the woman for the same reason, but his kindness won out.

A woman like Zaneska should be avoided by Zander because she hasn’t done anything yet, and anyone who approaches her will be drawn to her smile.

“Zaneska, I’m going to say goodbye; I need to go home because my mother is definitely looking for me, and it’s four o’clock in the morning; the road is not dangerous now; my mother will look for me when she discovers I’m not at home,” Zander said.

“Is that so?” Zaneska asked. “Go ahead, and once more. Thank you for saving me. I’ll take it back next time. I’ll give Mitch’s and you a date.”

“You don’t have to do that to repay what I do; I’m not going to ask; I helped you because I was present when they were attempting to harm you.”

“All right, go ahead,” Zaneska said to him.

He got into his car and began driving. I hope he can’t contact his mother at home because she will undoubtedly ask. He passed through the area where Zaneska was being obstructed by armed men. When he remembered that incident, his hair stood on end. That person is unquestionably a rebel.

At five o’clock in the morning, he arrived at their house. The fact that the gate is closed indicates that his mother has not yet returned home, which explains why he can breathe easily. After opening the gate, he got into his car and drove it outside the house. He entered the house and went straight to his room.

He sat down on the bed after changing into his pajamas and a t-shirt. He felt relieved as his back pressed against the soft bed. He then put his hands over his eyes and closed them.

Even though she had lost sight of Zander’s car earlier, Zaneska remained standing. She was disappointed that, despite the fact that he had helped her to the point of disaster, he did not consider her a friend. He climbed into Duke’s car. Maybe she’ll simply instruct Randolf to carry his cousin’s car back to the province. I drove away from the hospital in my car. Zaneska wishes to sleep the entire day away. Many people will keep an eye on Lazzy.

Because she was driving, she called Lucianna from her headseat, which was connected to her phone.

“Hello, Lucianna, just tell Lazzy not to tell her parents about what happened until we’ve settled things,” she said to her.

“Indeed, miss.”

She hung up the phone and returned her attention to the road. She arrived at the mansion and noticed Lucas leaning against the gate. She got out of the car and walked up to him.

“Hello, Lucas, isn’t there anyone inside? Perhaps Uncle Conrad is there,” she said.

“No, ma’am, I already press the doorbell but no one open the gate.”

“Okay.”

Zaneska unlocks the gate, allowing her and Lucas to enter.

“I’m truly here for you, Ma’am, and I just wanted to say something,” Luke said.

“Sure, let’s go inside first,” she says.

Lucas took a seat on the couch.

“Just wait for me, I’ll just get dressed for a minute,” she told him.

“That’s fine.”

She walked into the room. When she saw her bed, she wanted to sleep. But  she and Lucas have something else to talk about, and she knows it’s all about Lazzy. She changed her clothes and returned to the living room.

“What do you want to eat, Lucas?” Zaneska asked.

“No need, ma’am; I just needed to tell you something, and that’s why I’m here now,” Luke explained.

“What is that?” she asked as she sat down.

Lucas was truly worried that he would be unable to sit still in his seat.

“You should speak up, Lucas; it’s not that you can’t be bothered; it’s just that you won’t.”

“Ma’am, I’m here to apologize. I got Lazzy pregnant, and you know I have a live-in partner. I’m trying to persuade her that I will support the child but we can’t be together,” Lucas explained.

“Yes, I know. Come to think of it, Lucas, you’re telling me that you have a relationship and live in partner. What happened to why you even made Lazzy pregnant? I never thought you would be this jerk. You disappoint me. Do you think when your girlfriend finds out what happened that you got someone else pregnant she will accept you? That was an insult to her part at all. You have cheated on her. So don’t tell me you were tempted and taken by chance, because that’s not acceptable. You’d better choose who you’re going to be with. ” She explained.

“I understand, ma’am, but I’m also here to ask for a favor that hopefully you won’t fire me because, especially now that I have a problem, I desperately needed a job,” Lucas explained.

“Of course not, your personal problem is outside of work, and you should face the consequences of your actions; all you need to talk to are her parents; I won’t make the decision; I’m just her boss.”

“Thank you, ma’am; I must depart.”

“Sure, go ahead.”

She went into the bedroom and sat on the bed after Luke had left.

Zander awoke late in the afternoon, after eleven o’clock. He exited the room and went straight to the balcony, but his eyes widened as he saw what he saw. Duke was the only one who sat alone. And staring off into the distance.

“Would you mind telling me what you’re thinking? I slept well, but I had no idea there was anyone out here,” he said.

“I just arrived; did you sleep too late last night and wake up in the afternoon? What did you two and Mitch do last night to make you so tired?” Duke asked, laughing foolishly.

“Shut up! Your brain is filthy, stupid!” Zander exclaimed.

“Do you have any food there? I’m suddenly hungry because of how you look right now,” Duke inquired.

Zander had forgotten to remove his pajamas earlier, so he was only wearing briefs and a t-shirt.

“Come inside, cook first because I’m not in the mood to cook what you’re going to eat right now; Mom hasn’t returned from the beach house yet; maybe they’re still there,” he replied.

Duke’s complaint: “I came here because I couldn’t cook at Sammy’s house because she told me to cook lunch because she was tired, but now you’re going to order me to cook.”

“Duke, you’re the one who has to eat what you’re going to cook, so why are you still complaining? If you’re too lazy to cook, why don’t you call Amara to cook for you?”

“Amara is on duty, so don’t bother her,” Duke said.

“Wow, she’s already got a job?”

“Yes.”

“Good for her.”

They were sitting in the living room.

“Wait a minute, Duke, I’ll cook you a hotdog and an egg.” Zander said.

“Sure.”

“Mitch is lucky to have you, dude, even if you’re not in the mood, when it comes to someone you care about, you’re going to please them,” Duke said.

“Don’t be too sure, Duke, I didn’t love you. You’re so gross. I’m not into man,” Zander said, laughing.

“Bastard!”

And Zander is still in the kitchen.

He brought four eggs and a pack of hotdogs to fry. He’s going to eat something. He poured rice into the cooker to speed up the cooking process. He cooked the hotdog first, then the egg. He finished cooking and placed the food in the living room a few minutes later. He took a shower for a few minutes before returning to the living room. I sat down and began to eat.

“How are you and Amara doing, Duke? Has nothing changed in her since you haven’t seen each other in a few days? Have you talked about that man her parents chose for her?” Zander inquired.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

“I think that’s gone; they probably realized they needed Zaneska’s company more than that man’s,” Duke replied.

“So you’re just going to make your relationship with Amara look like a business?” Zander asked.

“I don’t have a choice, Zander, if that’s what they want, as long as Amara is with me. Now I realize that being away from someone you love the most is torture, especially if she marries another man. Zaneska assures me that her company is open for anyone to invest,” Duke said.

Zander takes a look at Duke.

“What are you staring at? Do you want to ask or tell me something?” Duke inquired.

“I needed to make a confession.”

“What exactly is it?”

“I came from the city. Last night, after I took Mitch to her apartment, I followed Zaneska. I don’t know why I did that but I had a bad feeling that something bad was going to happen to her. Then I was right because I saw men blocked her the road. They are armed men with high guns. She was scared even though I felt the same way. Fortunately, I begged them and sent us away without anything bad happening to us. ” Zander said.

“How is she doing now? I offered to take her home, but she refused; thank you, Zander, for saving her,” Duke said.

“She’s fine, but there’s a problem in the mansion because one of her housemates became pregnant by her company driver and slashed her wrist because the man wasn’t responsible for her pregnancy,” he explained.

“How’s the lady?”

“She’s fine, she was taken to the hospital,” Zander said. “But I’m worried that if Zaneska tells Mitch that I saved her, Mitch will be angry with me because I didn’t tell her that I followed her friend. You know the woman’s behavior is very unreasonable.”

“She understands, but of course she will be angry because you didn’t say goodbye; but if you think you’ll fight when you tell her now, it’s better not to tell. It’s not bad to lie if there’s a reason. Actually, it was a white lie. And I’m sure Zaneska won’t talk about that anymore. You’re the only one who thinks too much. If you want, you can propose to her and marry her.

“I’m thinking about it,” he said.

After we finished eating, Duke said his goodbyes and left. So Zander went into the kitchen and washed their plates.

Zaneska leaves her room.
