Ashley's POV
“Where is he? Is anyone here?” I barked with a loud voice as soon as I walked into the massive living room that I didn't have time to admire.
Who would have thought that I would find myself here in this condition one day? Maybe I would have, but not in my current mood.
I couldn't control my raging temper or burning emotions as my eyes wandered at every corner, waiting for its prey.
“And you are?” A feminine voice came up and I faced the direction. It was his mother, Mrs. Donmitri.
“I'm Ashley and I'm looking for your son, Zyno.” I informed them bluntly and they gave me a long look filled with disgust.
“Zyno? What connection do you have with my son and who let you into our house?” An elder man, who looked like his father, Mr. Donmitri asked in annoyance.
“I wouldn't have been here if I didn't have anything to do with your son.” I paused.
“I'm not here to cause any trouble but can you please grant me an audience with him?” I asked as politely as I could ever be but their gazes were giving me an opposite vibes.
“And what right do you have to speak with my husband?” The cold voice of his wife filtered in the air as our gaze locked.
So this was the woman he had been married to all these years yet he had been fooling me for three years.
If he hadn't been drunk last night and spilled everything to me, I would have still been under the web of his lies, waiting endlessly for the day he would put a ring in my finger.
He used me, took everything I had and promised to be with me forever. I had always wanted to be in his family house but he kept coming up with excuses and asking me to be patient.
Was this the result of being patient? Only to find out that he was already a married man who was just fooling around with a “cheap foolish” girl like me.
Men!
“I'm in a romantic relationship with Zyno and I must tell him something before it's too late.” I cried out.
The fact that they weren't taking my words for it was getting me insane.
“My husband doesn't do things with cheap girls and with the look of it, you are desperate and only craving attention which you will never get from him. I advise you to leave before I change my temper.” His wife scoffed at my face in disgust while crossing her arms.
“Guards! What are you waiting for? Drag this insolent wissle out of our mansion!” Mr. Donmitri yelled at the guards and they charged over to me.
After everything I had done, it would be ridiculous to admit defeat. I didn't want things to end up this way but if it means getting to belong in this family and never losing Zyno, then I would do everything possible.
“Do you really think you are doing the right thing? I also have the right to be here!” I screamed.
“Right? You are only disturbing our peace and if you don't leave, you might regret it.” Mrs. Donmitri threatened me but I rolled my eyes away from her.
With a deep sigh, I placed my hand on my stomach. “I'm pregnant and Zyno is the father.” I said seriously with my eyes fixed on their gazes.
“What?” Mr and Mrs. Donmitri gasped almost at the same time.
“Unbelievable!” Zyno’s wife squealed with agony lingering in her voice.
“Do you take us for a fool to believe what you have just said?” She asked, staring at me in anger.
“Well, if you don't believe me, we might as well ask Zyno. He knows me and has slept with me several times, so getting pregnant was only a matter of time.” I said courageously which annoyed her even more.
“Are… are you really pregnant?” Mrs. Donmitri lowered her voice with her eyes filled with interest.
“Mother, you can't believe this desperate chick. Who knows if she had random sex with a beggar and is trying to hold Zyno down with the child.” She paused, batting her lashes at me.
“There is nothing poor people cannot do for money!” She made a comeback, adding curtly.
“I would never do that!” A retorted with a very loud voice.
“I know I'm poor but I would never try to blame a man who isn't responsible.” I exhaled heavily, stepping forward.
“Go ahead and call Zyno. He knows me and we have been together for three years. He could possibly attest that I never slept with anyone since I had been with him.” I vowed seriously with my eyes begging for their understanding.
“This is crazy! We will never believe you!” Zyno's wife was pinned on making sure my word had no ground.
“I agree. Call Zyno and whatever he says, I'll believe him. We are lovers.” I admitted defeat, waiting for their next move.
“Which of the Zyno? Because I don't remember having a thing with you.” Then the strong captivating voice of my lover filled the room as he approached the gathering.
He looked as charming and handsome as he always looked, dressed in his brown tuxedo suit with his hair properly primped.
Who wouldn't love Zyno Donmitri? His charm was one in a million and his eagle sharp green eyes were intoxicating enough to hallucinate humans.
“Zyno…” I trailed off while calling his name.
“Thank goodness you are here, honey!” His wife grabbed his arm, and this action only annoyed me but I bore with it.
“This woman has been saying gibberish.” She added.
“I don't know this woman, nor do I have an affair with her. Besides, I have standards. She's too cheap and pitiful for my liking.” He spilled bluntly, holding a strong gaze with me as my jaw dropped.
“Zyno?” I couldn't believe these words escaped from his mouth. He was the last person I thought would reject and deny me.
“Don't do this, Zyno.” I shook my head continuously.
“What are you waiting for? Drag her out!!” I was still in my reverie, lost in confusion and disbelief while staring at the back of the man I had loved for years, as the guards dragged me out of the mansion.
