Chapter 92
Zendaya’s POV
“I’m sorry for not telling you sooner about it,” I said to the man while cleaning the tears from my eyes. “I didn’t know it would resort to this.”
He took me in his arms and kissed my head.
“It’s going to be fine,” he reassured me once again. “We’ll find them. Don’t worry.”
This was all my fault. I should have known how crazy Travis would be and how far he was willing to go for this thing.
Travis had gone out of the plans we had set for ourselves. Yes I know I was in the wrong here for falling for Asher, but I didn’t plan for this.
The initial plan had been to make him see how wrong he was and punish him for it, but now I could see there was no need to do it because he was such a sweet young man.
He cared about his children and I could not destroy his life anymore. It turned out he was different from his past self and after confessing his love for me I could no longer do it. I no longer wanted revenge, I instead wanted him to see his children and help them connect.
I didn’t even want to be with Asher but Travis, whose recent attitude had been too terrible for me to stay with, had me leaning towards Asher. The president started looking like the better option for me and Travis was now the toxic one.
I wanted to get away from that and I did tell him to change his ways but he wouldn’t listen. He didn’t listen to me when I said I no longer wanted to go ahead with the plan to bring down Asher.
Instead he went on his own to steal the documents from me and sent it out, ruining the man’s life. I found out about this only to confront him and have a blow of my own.
That fool had kidnapped my own children and blackmailed me into marrying him. He knew I would not go to Asher without reversing the truth but Travis didn’t know everything about me.
He was in for a world of hurt and pain and I would dish it to him in the worst ways possible.
Almost immediately as he hugged me, someone burst into the room. It was one of Asher’s men. The urgency on his face let me know that they had found something.
“What is it?” Asher asked as the man entered the room.
“We’ve found a lead,” the man said. “A caller has mentioned seeing Travis’s characteristics around a house in another state. We investigated the property and we found it to belong to Rowan.”
“That’s Travis’s friend,” I blurted out.
Asher nodded at the man, “We have him then.”
The man ran out as we hugged each other.
My mind went back to Rowan. Why was he trying so hard to ruin my life? He was engaging himself in a world of crime for his friend, that was a stupid thing to do especially when the president was involved.

Travis’s POV
I walked down an unnamed street as I wanted to patrol the area and do my normal exercise to make sure I was in tip top shape.
No one would find me here and this place according to Rowan was in the middle of nowhere.
Since I had not gotten the house in my name it would be hard for anyone to trace me much less the government.
I was dressed in shabby clothes with a hat on my head so no one would recognize me. I knew I was in a place no one knew me but the outfit was for extra precautions. I needed to be careful.
I walked past a television stand where they sold newspapers as I saw my picture was put up on the news as a kidnapper and the most wanted criminal in the country.
“That bastard,” I chuckled. He had really outdone himself by ruining my reputation. This was something that was supposed to be a small thing and instead it was now a national issue.
I couldn’t believe Zendaya would go that far. I just wanted her to marry me, that was it, I didn’t want her to complain to her ex husband. Now I could see how screwed I was.
I walked to a vending machine to get chips which I had been eating for a while now as my phone rang.
“Hey,” I picked it up to hear Rowan’s voice.
“Are you laying low?” He asked.
“Yes I am. I even got rid of my smartphone to pick up a burner phone. I don’t want anyone tracking me through anything.”
“Good.”
“That bitch blew this shit out of proportion. How could she do this to me? I expect her to fold to me and let me have what I wanted.”
“Travis, you need to calm down and not do anything stupid. Remember this was a route you chose to take.”
“No, I chose to blackmail her into getting married with me and maybe, in a few years she would see that she was wrong and I was right and we would live happily ever after.
“I didn’t know she would go to that bastard to make a full blown case about this. Now I’m a fugitive and I’ve got my face all over the news. I can’t live a normal life anymore. I’m always going to be a criminal.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“What do I do about that? She has ruined my life and I will make her pay. She will pay dearly for this. I will make sure she has no choice but to be with me and I will be there to tell her that her life is in my hands.”
“Don’t do anything rash and dumb Travis,” he said. “You’re already in too much trouble. Be prepared just in case you get tracked. I’ll have a plan to get you out of there.”
