Chapter 93
Zeyneb
We arrived at the venue in twenty minutes. The car ride was comfortable even though buis kept staring at me.
Once we got out of our car, reporters surrounded us, and I felt apprehension from Luis. He didn’t want to be captured at all. “You look beautiful, Ms. Carter! Who are you wearing?!” A reporter asked.
“Who’s that handsome man with you? Is he your new conquest?”
“Is he the one you cheated on your husband with?!” A male reporter asked.
I was a little taken aback by what they were asking.
Cheated? What rubbish was that! I didn’t cheat on Maybin. He cheated on me. Lis held my waist, aird I looked up at him, smiling.
“Let’s go,” he said softly.
I exhaled and entered the hotel lobby.
‘They think you cheated on that bastard, Maybin!’ Zey growled in my head. The press made such allegations against me.
I felt a warm hand on my cheek and looked into Luis’s soft eyes. “Are you alright, Zeyneb?” It was the first time I heard Luis say my name, and it sounded beautiful to my ears. I nodded and smiled at him. We linked our arms as we went into the ballroom. I interacted with people from my company, and Luis was by my side the entire time. It almost seemed like he cared about me.
“I’ll find Love now. Talk to them,” He gestured to the two men who wanted a word with me. They were my college friends. I didn’t want him to leave because of them. I held his arm tightly, his gaze lowered to my hand on his arms before they moved to my face,

‘I’ll be back,” he added and left.
Simas, Lyno,” I smiled and greeted the two gentlemen. They were doing well in their companies, and Lyno was running for office in Canada despite his young age.
I conversed with them, but my heart wanted to see Luis. I continued socializing and dancing.
“I heard about your divorce. I was sorry to hear that,” Lyno said. Simas snickered,” Are you sorry? We all knew you were in love
with her.”
We laughed, and Lyno stared at me and replied, “I was. Maybe I still am,” his smile was friendly towards me.

So, are you seeing someone?” Simas asked.

Um, not really at the moment. My divorce is yet to be concluded, and I’m taking time to love and rediscover myself,” I said.
It had been over thirty minutes, and Luis wasn’t back. I excused myself from Lyno and Simas. I went to the bathroom to retouch my makeup, and on my way back, I felt a rough hand wrap around my waist, and I immediately found that fucking scent. Maybin! I turned around abruptly and punched him in the face.
“Don’t touch me!” I growled. He staggered a few feet and held his stinging cheek.
Easy there, wifey,” he laughed. “You’re so angry!”
I shook my head and started to walk, but he pulled me back and slammed me against the wall. For a moment, I felt pain shoot through my back.
“Who was that man with you earlier?” he growled.
