Deal with the billionaire

Chapter two

It was already past nine and Zendaya was heading to his room. She don't know what to expect when she gets there but her body was already trembling in fear. She couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease. She married this man under duress.

When she got to his room door, she sighed deeply and opened the door.

The room was so dark, she could barely see. It has very pleasant fragrant and melodious tunes that play

"Why did you keep me waiting?" he asked, his voice echoing from the inner chambers of the room

"I...I...I was..." she stutters In fear

He walked out of the inner chamber half-naked. stern and imposing, looked at her with a piercing gaze, she feared.

Zendaya couldn't lie. Liam is an attractive man tall, muscular with chiseled features and piercing blue eyes that seemed to strip her bare. But beneath the hard exterior lay a man with a heart seemingly as cold as ice.

“Remember this my dear” he said, his voice low and dark. “You belong to me now. Your brother's debts are mine to bear, so you are my mine. I will do with you however I want. But not to worry you won't lack, I will provide for you, and in return, I expect your unwavering loyalty.”

Zendaya had a shiver run down her spine. She had never been spoken to in such a commanding and forceful way before, and she found herself complying with his demands out of fear.

As she stood there, watching her husband undress in front of her with unabashed confidence, she couldn’t help but wonder what kind of man he truly is.

When he pulled her close to him, she felt his hardness pressed against her stomach and she knew that this was the first of many nights to come, where she would be forced to submit to him – both physically and emotionally.

He pressed hard on her as he spread her legs widely. She could see the venom in his eyes, there was no love. She is nothing but a s*x toy, the thought of it made Zendaya cried

"Please" she said, she didn't know when the word slipped out of her mouth.

What exactly was she pleading for, for him to be eased on her? Or for him to let her go? He didn't say a word, he just kept pounding on her with no emotions and this left Zenday feeling more confused than ever before.

"Please," she said again with tears streaming down her eyes

"I bought you so I will do with you however I want," he said as he caress her breast, sucking them effortlessly like an infant

She tried to pull but he was too powerful. His muscular body rest on her and she could hardly breath

She knows that the marriage wasn’t based on love but on a cold, calculated deal. As she surrendered herself to him, she began to wonder if there is more to this man than met the eye. Perhaps, beneath the rug exterior, lay a heart waiting to be discovered or perhaps that was just her wishful thinking.

When he was done, he just turned to the other side of the bed and slept off.

As she lay in the king-sized bed, wrapped in silk sheets, she couldn't help but feel empty. She has given herself to him completely, but he couldn't care less about her. He treats her as if she were just another possession- something to be owned and controlled.

Tears stream down her face as she remembered his rough touch and harsh words. He didn't bother to ask her if she wanted to continue, he just took what he wanted. She had hoped that he would have at least shown her some tenderness but it was clear that he only cares about his pleasure.

She felt used and broken, as if a part of her had been taken away. When she was young, She had thought that marriage was supposed to be about love and intimacy, but all she received was pain and emptiness. No honeymoon, no flowers, no gifts. This wasn't the kind of marriage she dreamt of.

As the first rays of sunlight filtered through the opulent bedroom window, Is Zendaya stirred uneasily in the enormous king-sized bed.

She felt sore and bruised, both physically and emotionally from the rough and painful s*x she had last night.

Liam had shown no mercy, no gentleness, as he had taken her over and over his hard body, ravaging hers until she was left gasping and trembling in his strong arms.

Now, as she tried to gather her wits and steady her breathing, she realized with a sinking feeling that she had no idea how to navigate life in the mansion of a man who see her as nothing more than a convenient bed warmer.

She wrapped herself in the luxurious silk sheets and climbed out of bed, her eyes wandering over the gleaming marble floors, the glittering chandeliers, and the priceless works of art that adorned the walls. She felt like an intruder, like a fragile ornament placed there for his amusement.

But she was determined to survive, to find a way to make a life for herself in this glittering prison. She donned a silk robe and padded barefoot out of the bedroom, determined to explore the mansion and find some way to make sense of this new and frightening world she had been thrown into.

"Good morning" Zendaya said, as she walked into the kitchen

The domestic staff was too shocked to respond to the greeting. The boss is always fond of bringing girls to the house, they would spend days but none has ever bothered to enter the kitchen. When they need something they just call.

"Good morning" Zendaya said again. This time much louder

"Good morning ma. Please ma, I advise you to leave the kitchen. The boss won't take it likely with us when he finds you here" one of the domestic staff Martha said in fear

"I just want to help that all" Zendaya said. "so what are we having for breakfast?" she asked

There was no response. They all stared in amazement.

Mrs. Hannah walked into the kitchen

"What's going on here?" she asked the moment she saw Zendaya

"Good morning ma" the domestic staff chorused

"Good morning Mrs. Hannah. How was your night?" Zendaya asked

"It was awesome ma" Hannah replied

"so I was just asking what we are going to have for breakfast?" Zendaya said as she walks around, admiring the interior designs of the kitchen.

Everything was magnificent, from the cabinet to the painting on the wall, everything

"You don't have to worry yourself about that ma, It's our duty. Just tell us what you will like to have and we'll prepare it" Hannah said surprised by her actions

Zendaya giggles "I know it's your duty, I just want to assist. It's not bad for a wife to prepare meals for her husband and his household " she added

Hannah looked through her eyes. She saw a young girl who has finally come to accept her fate

"We are so pleased to have you ma. It's a pleasure" Hannah said with a warm smile

"The pleasure is all mine," Zendaya said "So let's begin"

Throughout the whole time in the kitchen, Zendaya felt happy. Everyone was welcoming and they were all pleased to have her but they felt a little bit tease

"Wow, this taste awesome. You will have to teach me the recipes" Zendaya said to Hannah

"Of course ma, I will be pleased to" Hannah said as she dishes more food into Zendaya's dish

"stop calling me ma. My name is Zendaya. Call me by my name" Zendaya said with a mouthful of meal

"Okay ma. Sorry...Zendaya" Hannah stutters

"What time will he come back?" she asked

"He will be back before twilight" Hannah said "I will leave you to enjoy your meal" she added

"Thank you" Zendaya said

"You welcome ma. Sorry I mean Zendaya" she said, still feeling weird about calling her by her name "I will take my leave now" she said and walked out

Zendaya watches her as she walks out. She doesn't know what she likes about her but everything about her seems perfect. Maybe one day she will have the courage to ask her about the scars on her body.

As she ate her meal. She tried to figure out what to make him happy, She wants to do something, that will change his attitude towards her but what I'm I going to do? She just couldn't figure it out.

After having her meal. Zendaya decide to do something that will make Liam pleased with her. She walked into his room. Looking for what to do, that will make him pleased with her. Maybe watch his clothes but he already has domestic staff that does all that

She was still searching his room when a glittering light from his inner chambers drew her attention. What's that? She asked herself as she walks into the chamber.

The place was a bit dark with small red lights. He has a piano and a guitar.

"He must be a lover of music" she said to herself. She took the guitar and played it for some minutes.

Zendaya is good at singing and playing musical instruments. Her dream was to be a singer before the whole arrange marriage plans came up

"So it only gonna be a dream?" she asked herself "mom am sorry I promised I was going to sing on the stage, I promised you I was going to make you proud and now it's all down the drain"

She remembers how her mom used to sing for her, how she will play the guitar all day "Music heals " Her mom always says. She wasn't lying at all.

The moment she ran her hands through the guitar she felt some kind of inner peace as she sighed deeply "You will be fine" she muttered to herself.

I'm going to win his heart with my songs, I will play the guitar and sing euphonious music to him.

She saw another small door inside the chamber. What could be there? She questions as she opens the door forcefully.

The room was full of photographs, photographs of different people. Who are these people? They must be his family. She kept staring at the photographs until she saw the one that confounded her

"This is me" she said "How did he get these photos?" Karen questioned.

These were pictures she took with her family when she was Eight years old. How come he has them? she flipped the back of the photo

At the back of the photo, it was scribbled on "The Georges " with a date at the end. Zendaya could remember, that's the exact date they took the photo.

After Sunday service on the 19th of Oct 1998. Her mom requested they take a family photograph.

That Sunday was Thanksgiving Sunday, so they were a lot of photographers outside the church premises. They got snapped by a young teenage boy in his fourteen or fifteen.

Could it be that the young boy was Liam? How come he still has the photo? Why do I feel there is something suspicious about him?

Zendaya head was buzzing With so much thought, that she didn't even realize when Liam walked in

"what are you doing here?" Liam asked, his voice full of anger

"I... I was...I want to clean...the.. room" Zendaya stuttered in fear

"clean what?" He asked angrily. Before Zendaya could utter any words he was already bouncing punches on her, he hit her mercilessly.

"Please. I'm sorry" she pleaded faintly. She couldn't scream her voice was too small

"I will teach you a lesson. Next time you won't go through my stuff!" he yelled

He dragged her on the floor, hitting her mercilessly "Don't go through my stuff. You worthless daughter of a heartless street gambler! I watched you live the life I was supposed to live" he snapped out

Zendaya didn't understand what he was talking about. He watched me live the life he was supposed to live. What does that even mean? She questions in thought

"While you were going on vacations with your family. I was on the street begging for arms. I slept in the cold with an empty stomach. I worked all day but still got a penny. I watched my father go to prison for a crime he didn't commit. I watched my mum die in my hands, because I couldn't afford the hospital bills" he said in anger

"What are you talking about? What does that have to do with me?" she asked in curiosity, as tears stream down her eyes

"It has everything to do with you because your family caused it!" he snapped out and spat on her

Everything seems like a nightmare to Zend until she saw blood gushing out from her head. Then it dawned on her that this is her reality. She is married to a monster, who has no emotions and is on a revenge battle. He has the wrong person because she don't have an idea what's his talking about.

"Now get out of here!" he yelled

There was no response or movement. She was laying flat like a dead being

"I said get out!" he yelled again and kicked her with his foot.

Still no response, he moved closer to her and notice she was no longer breathing. A shiver ran down his spine

"She is not breathing. Hannah!" he called out in fear
