Chapter 55

Zane went quiet for a while as he didn't have an answer to her question.

After a while, he opened his mouth to speak but then he heard her snoring softly and knew that she

had fallen asleep. He sighed then continued caressing her hair.

“I wanted to trust you, I really did but the videos and the pictures, you were the one in them, Kiara. I

know every inch of you and that was you. I admit maybe I should have given you a chance to

defend yourself but I know you were going to deny it and that was going to make me angrier and at

that time, I felt like a failure, I was feeling a whole lot of emotions all at once and I guess, I just

didn't want to hear what you had to say” He murmured with a sad look on his face then he sighed

and leaned down to place a kiss on her forehead before pulling her closer.

When his breath evened out, Kiara opened up her eyes slowly and silent tears slipped out her eyes.

How could he have seen evidence of her cheating when she hadn't cheated on him? Something

wasn't right and she didn't know if she had the strength to find out the truth.

It was already midday and the sun was shining brightly in the sky when Kiara woke up.

She was about to stretch when she noticed the pair of strong arms wrapped so tightly around her

that she was unable to move an inch.

She laid there for a while, not wanting to wake him up and just kept staring at his perfect gorgeous

face.

She raised her hand slowly and caressed his face with her fingers softly. She trailed her fingers along

his eyes then his nose then situated at his lips. She caressed it lightly and was about to lean in and

kiss him when Zane's eyes flew open.

She gasped softly but refused to break eye contact with him which made him smile. He leaned in

and placed a swift kiss on her lips.

“Am I that handsome?" He questioned as he pulled away with a cheeky grin which made her roll her

eyes.

“Let go of me, I need to pee” He let her go and chuckled as he watched her run into the room.

A few minutes later, she came back out with an innocent look on her face and Zane immediately

knew that she was about to ask for something.

"What do you want?" She sighed dramatically as she walked up to him and grabbed his arm.

“Paris is known for their pastries, right? And I just noticed, we haven't really had any pastries here”

He nodded slowly.

"Yes, so?" She frowned at him.

“I want pastries. I want everything, croissants, a cake, everything!" He chuckled.

“Don't worry, we'll get to taste some today at the venue we are going to. You better go have your

bath and dress up because this place is kind of far from here. Oh and wear that orange flair gown

that has flowers all over it" He told her and she furrowed her eyebrows.

"How come you know everything I bought from the mall that day? Did you make sure I bought

those particular clothes?" He grinned.

“Let's just say I know your taste and I may or may not have had the clothes I didn't want you to get

hidden in the shop while you were shopping" She sighed. Why did he always have to be so extra?

"You just like throwing your money around, don't you?" He shrugged.

"What else should I do with them?" She sighed. How wish she was as rich as him, maybe she'd

understand him then.

She didn't say anything else and just walked into the bathroom and got ready. When she was done

having her bath, she walked towards her luggage and pulled out the gown before placing it on the

bed.

Wearing this kind of gown meant they were going somewhere that had flowers or a clearing? Were

they going for a picnic?

She smiled at the thought. She knew Zane was going to go all out and it would end up not being

like a regular picnic.

She wore the dress and did a little minimal makeup before wearing her brown sandals. She weaved

her hair into a ponytail, letting Pieces of her hair fall on face before glancing at herself in the mirror

with a smile.

She looked cute and she knew Zane was going to agree. She grabbed her brown bag then took a

deep breath before walking out of the room

As soon as Zane saw her, he froze slightly then a slow smile appeared on his face as his eyes trailed

down her body.

“Is it just me or you're getting more beautiful as the day goes?" She giggled as her cheeks turned

red.

“Thank you. I love the gown, it's so comfortable” She murmured then did a little spin before turning

back to him just to see his eyes following her every move.

“I'm glad you like it because you look breathtaking” He murmured and she froze when he walked

closer to her. She stared into his eyes for a while then gasped when he wrapped his arms around

her waist and pulled her closer to him.

“It's getting harder and harder to keep my hands off you, Kiara" He murmured into her ear then

began placing soft kisses on her neck.

She grabbed onto his arm as she bit her lower lip to stop herself from moaning.

“We can't... We can't do this, Zane" She muttered and he groaned slightly.

"Why? Why are you fighting this when it is obvious we both want each other?” She sighed then

used all her will power to push him away.

“Go get dressed so we can leave” She murmured and before he could say anything else, she walked

towards the kitchen, closing the door behind her.

She groaned slightly as she sat down on one of the chairs then closed her eyes when she heard the

room door close.

She sighed and was about to go out of the kitchen since Zane was gone when a phone rang. She

turned towards the phone and noticed it was Zane's.

Since It wasn't her phone, she was about to turn away and ignore its ringing when she caught sight

of the caller Id and her face turned sour.

She immediately grabbed the phone and received it before pressing it to her ear.

“Hello, Zane? I missed you so much, My baby. Are you not done with your revenge yet?"....
