Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

What was happening? Why was Shirley’s heart beating so fast? Was it because of Zacharias?

Shirley bit her red lip. There was something she had been unwilling to admit or acknowledge: her feelings toward Zacharias.

She wondered, uncertain. Do I like him?When did I become a woman who speaks one way and thinks another? She didn’t want to delve further into things she couldn’t figure out. Instead, she returned to her room, took a shower, and went to bed.

In the blink of an eye, it was Saturday tomorrow. With Zacharias granting her leave, Shirley eagerly anticipated a day of relaxation at Ava’s house. She couldn’t wait to savor the delightful pastries and fruit tea her grandmother lovingly prepared.

Zacharias worked until the early hours. During a break, he reached for a rose and lightly kissed it as if kissing a certain someone. Then, he got up, went downstairs, had a glass of red wine to help him sleep, and looked in the direction of the second floor. Although the fatigue from overloaded work often made him tired, he felt that the future was promising because he now had someone to protect and someone to bring glory to.
