Chapter 34
Heather groaned as soon as she heard a knock on the front door. Just who could that be? She wasn’t expecting any visitors.
She decided to ignore it, hoping it would go away but the knocking became frantic which made her groan then sigh before getting out of the bed. Whoever that fool was better have a good reason for waking her so early in the morning.
She angrily wore her slippers then stormed her way towards the front door.
“You better have…” She paused when she saw it was her landlord with some men behind him.
“Is… is something wrong?” The man sighed and by the look on his face, whatever he was about to say wasn’t going to be pleasing to her ear.
“Mrs Heather Swift, I’m sorry to have to say this but you and Miss Kiara have to move out of this apartment immediately” Heather’s eyes widened as she sucked in her breath.
“We have to what? Why?” Before the landlord could say anything, Samantha appeared from behind him dressed in a leather dress with red heels, a red bag and red lips. The weather was so gloomy outside, why was she wearing sunglasses?
Samantha took off her sunglasses then smiled at Heather.
“Long time no see, Heather” Heather scowled at her.
“What is this about and why do I have to move?” Samantha ignored her question and walked right into the room.
“It’s pretty small but it’s going to be okay for my project” Samantha murmured and the landlord immediately nodded.
”It’s a nice apartment, Miss Hart and….”
“How many times do I have to tell you not to call me by that name? I’m Mrs Black” Samantha suddenly snapped as she glared at the short balding man who immediately shrunk back into his shell. Heather scoffed at her for words.
“Mrs Black? So your obsession with Zane hasn’t cleared off I see?” Samantha turned to her with a smirk.
“Of course I would be obsessed with my fiance” Heather frowned. Fiance?
“Your fiance? Your fiance is busy having the best Vacation of his life with your sister and you’re calling him your fiance?” Samantha’s face immediately turned dark.
“Kiara is a fool for falling for his trick and when he succeeds in breaking her heart, he’ll run back to me and she’d get to watch us get married” Heather frowned. Falling for his trick? What was she talking about?
“What….”
“I don’t have time to chitchat, Heather. You have to pack out of this apartment before the sun sets or else, you’ll be thrown out without your luggages” Samantha uttered then was about to walk away when Heather grabbed her hand.
“What the fuck are you on about? I have to pack out? Because? You have no right to do this!” Heather yelled but Samantha just yanked her hand out of her grip and let out a yawn.
“I want to use this apartment for something and I don’t have to explain myself to you. Do it quickly or I’ll have you kicked out without nothing” Heather scoffed then turned to the Landlord who refused to look her in the eye.
“What is going on? Our rent hasn’t even expired yet! How am I going to find an apartment on such short notice? I don’t even have the money!” Heather grumbled as she stared at the man with wide eyes who in turn, sighed.
“Mr Black’s secretary called and said miss Samantha needed this apartment for a project so we had no choice but to give it to her. I’m sorry miss Swift” Heather scoffed. Sorry? How was sorry going to solve this? She was going to be homeless. Mr Black’s secretary? Was Zane behind their eviction from this house? Why would he do that?
Samantha reached into her bag then brought out a bundle of cash.
“If cash is the reason you’re wasting my time then here” Samantha smacked the money on her face and Heather gasped in shock then turned to Samantha with wide eyes. Had she just slapped her with money?!
Heather clenched her fist as she tried her best not to let her wolf come out and tear Samantha into shreds.
Samantha smirked then immediately turned away before Heather could attack.
“Your things should be gone before the sun sets” She uttered before disappearing.
The landlord cleared his throat then pointed at the men behind him.
“They’ll help you pack, okay? Sorry again” He muttered then hurriedly walked out of the room, leaving Heather with the men.
She sighed as she ran her fingers through her hair. Was Zane really behind all this? If that was the case then she needed to speak with Kiara and on another note, how the fuck was she going to pack all their stuff before the sun sets? This was a nightmare!
Kiara stood there speechlessly staring at him with wide eyes. What had he just said?
“You have gotten more shameless, Zane” She murmured and he chuckled.
“Well I’m only shameless when it comes to you and calm down, I don’t mean it. I just love seeing you all flustered” She scoffed.
“Flustered? Me? Pfft! You must be seeing things” He rolled his eyes then leaned closer to her and opened his mouth.
“Feed me” She furrowed her eyebrows at him.
“Can’t you feed yourself?” He shook his head with a pout and she couldn’t help but smile at how cute he was.
“If I try to feed myself, I’ll get tired and then I won’t eat but if you feed me, I would just keep staring at your face and never get tired” She sucked in her breath. Gosh when was he going to stop with his cheesy lines?
“I’ll feed you only if you promise to stop trying to seduce me with your words because I know that’s what you’re doing” He chuckled then kissed her belly.
“Feed me” She sighed and was about to sit down on the seat in front of him when her phone rang. She furrowed her eyebrows when she saw Heather’s name pop up on the screen. Why was she calling?
“I have to take this” She uttered then grabbed her phone and pressed it against her ear.
“Heather?” She called out while her eyes followed Zane as he suddenly stood up from his chair and was glancing around like he was searching for something.
“Are you okay over there, Kiara?” Heather’s voice came through And Kiara frowned.
“Why do you sound so stressed? Is something wrong?” She heard Heather sigh while her eyes followed Zane.
“We just got…” Kiara gasped when Zane opened up the cupboard and the pancake mix she had used earlier fell on him as soon as he opened the cupboard. He turned to her with a glare and she couldn’t help but burst out laughing because of how funny he looked.
“It’s not funny, this is a very expensive suit” He whined which just made her laugh harder.
“I’m coming, let me talk to Heather first. What were you saying Heather?” Heather couldn’t find it in her heart to say anything after hearing Kiara laugh so heartily. It has been so long since she laughed like that and it felt nice to hear. It was clear that she was happy being with Zane. Even if it wasn’t going to last, why should she take away the small time they had together?
“It’s nothing. Enjoy yourself and I love you” Kiara frowned when Heather hung up. Something was definitely wrong but what could it be?Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
