Chapter 196
Zendaya’s POV
Who knew that in three months a lot of things could happen? I had been living a life of regrets for a long time. When I finally let go of those regrets I was happier and I found that my life was better than the past.
I was richer and smarter. I was respected and had more people asking for my help. I was seen as the one who would change the future and I did my best to change that future.
I refused to hold back in the way of giving out meetings and holding councils on how to help the country grow into something greater.
My relationship with my husband grew stronger than before and I could not believe that at some point in my life I was considering murdering him.
He was sweet to me. Even as a president, he gave me so much and respect that I knew what love really was.
He didn’t give excuses for why he was not with me or the children. He did his possible best to be with us and for months we knew what having a father and a husband was like.
During the three months, Blair had invited me to her wedding with her construction husband.
I had gone seeing as I wanted to be there for my one time best friend.
We had broken apart but she had apologized and I was going to be there with her.
Of course things were not going to be the way they used to be, it would be different now seeing as she had once stolen my boyfriend from me and I had cried about it but now, I couldn’t care less who she was with.
I had a man who made me happy everyday and made my legs shake every night.
At the wedding, I had come with Aurora as I needed a plus one and Asher was too busy with leading the country.
By now, Aurora’s stomach was visibly large. When I arrived at the wedding, I found Blair to be genuinely happy. She was not as sad as she used to be. The wedding was not as large as I thought it would be but it made her happy so I was happy for her.
She looked modest now and wasn’t all about extravagant things or looks. She was different. She was all about being happy.
“Do you think she’s truly happy or just pretending?” Aurora asked while chewing the nuts she had brought with her in case she was hungry.
“She looks very happy if I’m being honest,” I smiled. “To be fair she is not on the beat of makeup and she isn’t wearing the best hair but she’s looking great.”
“Come on,” Aurora smacked my arm lightly.
“What? I’m just saying. At least she’s happy so that’s all that counts.”
“I thought you said you made up with her?”
“I never said anything about not calling her out for what she’s putting on.”
We laughed a little before Blair noticed us and ran to where we were seated.
“Hey,” she said breathlessly. I could see the excitement on her face. “You came!”
We hugged and she fell into a seat beside me.
“I did. I couldn’t miss it for the world. Also I’m sorry Asher can’t make it. He’s busy with work.”
“It’s okay. It’s so good having the First Lady at my wedding,” she said. “Right now, I’m getting tons of people asking me if I know who you are and I have to tell them that we used to be friends and all of that.”
I nodded as I leaned in my chair watching Aurora and Blair talk and make up. Everything was falling in place.
She was different now. She was glowing better than her past self.
Soon the paparazzi showed up and started taking pictures of us together as I knew that would boost Blair’s ratings.
I smiled with her and when asked in front of everyone who she was to me, I knew I had to say it.
“We’re friends,” I sighed. “Bestfriends.”
I watched Blair shed a tear before she asked for a hug again.
“Thank you so much for everything,” she said.
“It’s fine.” I was glad she had learned a few lessons in life and I was happy for her.
Her husband came to me to thank me for showing up as I decided to talk to him.
“Let’s talk privately,” I said, taking him to an empty part of the wedding hall.
“What do you want to talk about?”
“I’m giving this to you as a wedding gift,” I smiled. “I’m willing to invest ten million dollars into your company to make it grow. That way you and her can both benefit from it.”
He screamed as his wife ran to join us. He told her and she fell on her knees thanking me.
I tried helping her up as the woman started to pull so much crowd to us.
“Stop that,” I sighed. “It’s quite embarrassing.”
“Ten million dollars is a lot of money to drop in my business,” the man said. “Thank you so much. I promise that I won’t let you down.”
I smiled from ear to ear, as I nodded.
“You can come and see the children whenever you’re in the area.”
She accepted the offer and I looked at my wristwatch before waving to them and leaving.
“How was it?” Asked Aurora who was now eating cake. The pregnancy was not helping her eating habits as she was always hungry. This was one of the effects of being pregnant.
“It went well.”
“You really don’t care about the money you’re putting into their business? You want to do that for them?”Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
“You’re the one who told me to rekindle the relationship. I’m just doing the best I can.”
“You’re right.”
We sat silent as the music on the radio played. The day had gone better than I would have liked.
