The Eighty Nine's leader. My Lover.

Chapter 41.

Zachary watched Jace, Arthur, Nido, Kwanele and Anele on their seats, this meeting could have taken place elsewhere but they all decided this was the best place to have it and today, it was Jace's idea. So, here they are. Looking professional. They talked business which makes him happy. It clears his head and besides if they talk business, there's no fighting.

He doesn't mind the fighting, don't get that twisted but he rather choose his battles, some are just not worth it. They all stood up, everyone shaking hands, he then made his way to Jace leaving the others to talk, Arthur and Kwanele talking, Nido and Anele still seated, they don't talk much. He likes that. Jace watched him walking up to him, he was texting on his phone.

"Jace".

"Zachary".

"No hard feelings?".

He raised a brow."None".

Zachary just nod, turning around walking away and out, Jace put his phone away and watched him, this will be awkwardly great, Zachary was almost married to Hazel. Nido had a thing for her and he kissed both twins the only uncomplicated relationship is with Arthur.

I walked up to Jace, holding him."What are you busy with on our day?".

He smiled."I'm sorry, I was just checking on things".

"It's our day".

"Yes, ma'am".I turned around walking away he pulled me back."Are you having fun?".

"Yes, are you?".

"As long as you're with me, you and Adelle look close".

I smiled frowning."She was nice actually and so was I".

"I like that".

"I like you".

He smiled pulling me to him and gave me a kiss. I moved back looking down at my new wedding ring, I love it. We decided to renew our vows, a fresh start, we've been through a lot this year alone, I needed this, we needed this.

"I love you, you know that right?".

"Nope, I had no idea".

"Well, now you do".

I smiled again, I love this man, probably more than anything in the world. My 'aunt' visited yesterday and she took me to my mother's grave, for the first time I felt nothing other than love and pity for my mother. Pity she died without meeting my husband, pity her husband was a terrible person and she never got the chance to know what love truly is and how wonderful it is.

I felt sorry because at some point she loved him and he loved her and she never, not even once pictured him hurting her, ever but he did without hesitation. My mother was a good person who just fell in love with the wrong person, I find it hard to believe that my father was once good, I believe he was always terrible but was good at hiding it for as long as he needed and when he had accomplished whatever it is he wanted, he revealed what he truly was.

An abusive, hateful, unappreciative man, who hated everything and everyone, including his own wife and daughter. Jace held my cheeks giving me a kiss, I love his reassurances, he knows I can get a little too crazy.

"I have to go now".Radebe startled us both, making me laugh."I have to go to work, thank you for the cake and coffee".

"Anytime, I wish you had brought your wife with you and you'd stay a bit longer".

"If I was off duty but now I have to go arrest some criminals".He then looked at Jace after that sentence.

I smiled kissing him on the cheek, Adelle came back with a lunchbox."For Zama".
