Mommy, Is The President Our Daddy? The Ex-Wife’s Revenge

Zendaya’s POV

“So… should we tell them?” he asked when we woke up and were staring at the ceiling naked and under the sheets.

“The children?” I asked.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Yeah. They have to know.”

“Isn’t it too soon? I mean, we just got engaged last night and we are telling them now? Let’s relax a little.”

“I don’t want to relax. I want to tell them. If we don’t tell them, who are we going to tell? Don’t forget those children are very smart.”

“I know they are.”

“No, you don’t understand. They are extremely smart. Do you remember that time you were in the hospital?”

“I was in the hospital twice,” I reminded him.

“Oh yes, I meant the first one after your kidnapping.”

“Yeah. What about it?”

“Well, I had done everything within my power to hide your situation from them but they had somehow found out about your condition. I had to hide it again even when I knew it was pointless and they still found out again.”

“Maybe it’s because you are not good at hiding things.”

“Exactly why I think we should tell them before they see right through us.”

I sighed. He wanted us to tell the children and that was what we were going to do.

“Fine, we will tell them. But their reaction is on you,” I laughed knowing how energetic the children were going to be.”

He accepted as we heard them running down the hall before they entered the room.

“Good morning mum and dad!” they both screamed as they climbed the bed to join us.

I exchanged glances with Asher as we looked at the children and told them about the engagement which had them jumping in excitement.

“When is the wedding?!” yelled Layla. “I want to eat cake! Cake!”

“We can get you any cake you want,” I said but she was adamant that it was going to be a wedding cake.”

“What about the venue and when you guys would wed?” Landon asked. He was getting more mature by the minute.

“We haven’t decided on that yet,” I answered. “As time goes by we’ll find a day that works well for us and use it.”

We all laughed with Layla screaming Cake before Asher got us breakfast and we all had breakfast in bed for that morning.

When the children were out of the room, he leaned over to kiss me.

“I love you so much Zendaya,” he smiled. “I will always be here for you.”

He had not said these words to me when we were still together but he was saying it now.

I wished I could turn back the hands of time so he would say it to my past self as thy girl needed all the love she could get but she didn’t get any.

Not from her sister or her mother and father and not from her friends or lovers. She was being pushed aside.

Having to hear this now made me want to cry but I held myself from doing so.

We kissed even more before going about the order of the day.

I called my mother and told her I would be visiting her at home which had her celebrating with joy.

I also called Aurora to tell her and a lunch was planned with the family with some of my siblings ready to meet us.

I didn’t see the other siblings as my real siblings due to them being away from us for too long but now I was going to the house I would see them and know how they were doing.

I used the limousine which had the driver take me there.

It was a grand entrance I was planning on doing and that was what I did.

Since mother invited the entire family both extended and nuclear to show up.

I sat beside Aurora with the others sitting on the other side of the table as they tried talking to me.

I ignored everyone including my father until my mother stood up to give a public apology.

She gave her apology which moved me and my siblings, one by one, stood up to give theirs.

“Zendaya,” I heard my father say as he stood up for me. That was one of the first times he was actually calling me by my full name without adding insults to it. “I’m sorry for what I have put you through. You don’t deserve any of this and I should have stopped myself from giving you off at that age.

“Your mother told me all that happened and as much as I would like to say she is the main one at fault here I was also at fault for allowing this to go on. So I’m asking that you forgive me just as you forgive the rest of the family.”

I didn’t want the fight to continue. They had all given their apologies so all I had to do was accept it and go forward with it.

“Thanks for the apologies,” I smiled at everyone. “I’ve accepted and I’m glad you all saw your flaws. Anyway, I’m getting married.”

This shocked everyone including Aurora who had not seen that coming.

I flaunted the diamond ring Asher had gotten me as they started throwing in their congratulatory messages.

Aurora also gave her own good news that she had taken in and everyone congratulated her on her own pregnancy.

It was a great day for the Montclair family and for the first time I felt proud to be a part of the family.

While they celebrated and danced to the music, I spoke with my mother who apologized once again and told me she had to let go of the family company since they did not have the financial resources to keep up with it.

I smiled to myself seeing as I was the owner of the company and no one knew that I was the new owner.

“I’m so sorry to hear that,” I pretended to care.
