Married to my nemesis-Chapter 132: New life

Zayn took a seat as he watched her take from the plate.

"So how’s the food?"

"Ahh, Zayn how many times am I going to tell you is amazing?"

"I just wanted to hear you say it, I haven’t cooked the second course for food but I’ll like to take a rest before I take the second course."

Phoebe chuckled as she took from her cup of water.

"How did you even get to cook like this, is super."

"Well that’s something I have to be grateful for living alone without maids around."

"Don’t you live with those maids?"

"No, no, mum recently sent them here to take care of me because of what happened at the party, she wanted to make sure that I’m okay, that’s all."

"I’m so sorry, Zayn for what happened."

"Why do you have to feel guilty, is Ezekiel who did it to you, he wanted to create issues after all."

Phoebe had a small smile.

"Besides, I know that what I’m going to ask is going to hurt you a bit but it has always been on my mind I couldn’t take it off I always wanted to ask about it?"

"What are you talking about? " she said dropping her cutleries on the table.

" Hmm, is about Ezekiel, how did you even get to meet him, there are many people in your life, so how did you get to meet this particular guy? "

Phoebe paused for a while without a word from her mouth.

" If is uncomfortable for you then you can just pass it-"

" No, no, that’s not how I was feeling, I was just trying to remember the first time I met him. If I cold remember it was actually in college. You know, all this campus queen and king of the campus, I was part of the popular ones, the girls who were famous and just as usual, you get to have this guy who’s the king of the campus and the leader of the basketball or soccer team, actually Ezekiel participated in the basketball team and then there was this time I went to the basketball court with my friends, we wanted to pull a prank on all the basketball team members when they come in for practice and then we place it on social media just for fun, so when we did it, placed a bucket of paint on top of each door of the basketball court, it was just time for the basketball members to come out for their practice and I don’t even understand how it happened, " Phoebe began to chuckle as she covered her mouth from making her to terribly laugh.

" I’m so sorry Zayn," she said with giggles as Zayn chuckled seeing her happy, actually he thought her remembering Ezekiel was going to hurt her but it was different.

" So my cloth got stuck on the knob of the door, trust me I was panicked thinking of how I’m also going to part of the prank, my friends suggested the cut the piece of dress but that was part of my favourite outfit, just when they heard their footsteps, my friends ran to their hiding spot and me, I managed to get my cloth away from the knob, after all I had to tare the precious piece, I was about to run thinking that I had escaped but the door opened just when I was about to run. I don’t know but the green paint poured all over my body just when I turned around, I discovered it was also Ezekiel which the paint had poured on. The whole auditorium was filled with laughter from the basketball team mates and my friends because both I and Ezekiel were the ones who got stained. Since then I knew Ezekiel from college, we got to know each other. "

" I’m sure he had blamed you for getting the worst basketball moment. "

" Why wouldn’t he? Once he thinks about it he’ll also discover he’s not the only one who got stained, I also got stained."

" That’s a pretty hit prank if you come to think of it. "

" I know right, you must have seen it from my school’s social media account, that thing went viral. People called it FAILURE OF PRANKS, i couldn’t help laugh thinking of it. "

" Come to think of it, I feel grateful that Ezekiel was in your life, remove the thoughts of his possessive desires and his addiction, I feel like just like now, he was able to place a smile on your life, he created things that helped you, didn’t he? "

Phoebe heaved a deep breath as she stuck her folk in her food taking from the salad, she had a remorseful look on her face as she stared at him with boring gaze for a while and then she placed a smile on her face.

" You’re right, besides, as much as I try to, I don’t want to remember any of that again, I don’t want to think of what had happened before, I want to let everything go and just make new life. Besides, here we are talking about me when we could talk about you, so how was your life in college? "

" Are you sure you want to know? "

" Why wouldn’t i ? Enim has said there are a lot of interesting things that has to do with you, and when I asked her to spill it out she said she wasn’t going to give me any information about it, so I think I have no other choice but to get those answers from you. So are you going to say? "

Zayn chuckled as he placed his elbow on the table placing his palm on his cheek.

"Let me say, during my days at college and still as of now, they were and they are the days of the rebels because I was a lot rebel, always doing the craziest things in school, going to parties, clubs, doing pranks and there was always this new girl or some sort."

Phoebe chuckled as she ate from her spoon.

"It must have been interesting, isn’t it?"

"Yeah, a lot more than you can think."

Phoebe giggled.

"Yeah, seriously I can’t help but deny the times of college are crazy, you get to have fun and the rest."

" When I was in highschool there was always this gather up, the sassy girls, the naive angels, the bad girls and surely the nerds. At that time I was still discovering who I was because I fitted into all the categories, I don’t understand how I made it to be all of that but during the last year I discovered that I could be any of those, when I got to college I decided I was really going to find myself and obviously being a social media influencer was going to cause so many issues considering the family I came from. We controlled the activities of the country, my mother never thought that I would still go ahead with what I’m doing but I did regardless of her thoughts, to be truthful, I found my light and own freedom when I joined the social media community but when Prudence died, I couldn’t understand how I was going to take it, I just dimmed that light that was shinning and then managed the business even when I knew nothing about it, you know sometimes I wonder how it feels when you have a lot of burden placed on top of your head, I don’t know if my mother knows this but she placed a burden on my head when she decided that I should take up the job as the new manager of the company, I couldn’t understand how I was going to manage everything. I didn’t even realize when I turned cold and became a furious person just at a short while. But when i found Enim, she was just like this person who gave me some light again, as you see Phoebe is back to her old cheerful ways just with some additions this time."

" You’re not thee only one who’s experiencing difficulties, I didn’t want to tell you but I think I should tell you that. "

" What about? "

" Father is going to be sentenced to jail for a long period of time, I thing he’s going to be killed for his actions. He did some pretty bad things and now it’s time for him to pay for it. I’m just excited that I wasn’t caught up in his bad ways, Enim was able to show me some lights on my father’s mischievous cunning ways. So now because of his sentence, I’ll be the one to take up the position as the mafia boss now, is pretty heavy on me, " as he spoke, Phoebe reached out her hand to him caressing it with a smile on her face as she rubbed the back of his hand. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

" I’m sure you’re going to do this, " she said in a whisper as Zayn smiled.

" I know, I want to make this a new revolution and change the things father took roughly, I just hope I don’t become like him."

" Zayn to be truthful at the moment, being a mafia boss requires a lot of discipline and sternly attitude because our world is different and certainly another kind but that does make you evil or bad, not everyone knew whose family they were going to be born into but being born into a mafia family we just have to go with the flow and make things right, make everything done according to what our heart and mind tells us. Just make it to the process and make sure we’re letting the heavenly bodies guide us we’ll, so if you say you’ll become like your father you’re missing it out. You’re not your father and your father isn’t you. "

Zayn had a small smile on as he stared at her.

" I wish your mother got to knew about our relationship. "

" I know, but we have to keep it secret," she paused to see Zayn’s reaction seeing a disappointed look on her face.

" After all considering that we’re two mafia families, is going to be a lot risky but, I finally let mother recognize her choice was not worth it after all and she should make me chose my decision and so I told her about our relationship. I told her everything, Zayn. "

His eyes sparkled and then his face beamed with joy, Phoebe chuckled.

"Seriously?" Zayn asked out of excitement as she nodded.

"Oh my gawd," he said embracing Phoebe who couldn’t help but laugh at his reaction and then he kissed her.

"This is the best gift ever, Phoebe."

"I know."

"I love you."

Phoebe had a smile on.

"I love you more."
