Hubby 407

12 J

Zev and Kelly handed their child off to Caden before heading to Armend Islan-1 for a much-needed red,

Zev embraced the vacation with open arms, treating it like a second honeymoon.

His cold was nearly gone, and each day by the beach was filled with laughter, food, and a carefree spirit. They posted pictures on social media. A lot.

To the outside world, it seemed like they had completely detached from their company, letting their employees manage everything.

But once nightfall arrived, Zev retreated into his work, checking in with Hanson, and coordinating the necessary actions.

Kelly trusted no one, not even Quentin.

But Zev still believed in him, considering he was the one who'd personally brought Quentin in.

Zev hadn't turned his suspicions toward his uncles. Despite Kelly's hints, he remained convinced that the Wagner family was at the heart of everything.

He believed Shawn was being manipulated, his actions controlled by someone pulling the strings behind Wagner Group's recent turmoil.

Kelly wasn't so sure. She hoped the mastermind wasn't from the Wagner family. But, as always, she thought ahead, planning for Zev in ways he couldn't see yet.

"I'm meeting a friend," Kelly said, adjusting her clothes as she prepared to leave. It was 8 p.m., and Zev was deep in work, video conferencing with Hanson from their hotel room.

Zev glanced up, his eyes narrowing. "You have friends here on Armend Island?"

Kelly nodded. "Yeah, a friend's in town on business. Don't worry about me. I'll be back before midnight."

Zev's brow furrowed deeper. "Who's this friend? Are they male or female? Do I know them? Have I met them?"

Kelly sighed, frustration creeping into her voice. "Stop asking so many questions."

Zev's unease spiked. He sprang off the bed, pulling Kelly into his arms with a tight grip. “I feel like you're changing. Are you trying to trick me into signing the divorce papers? Are you planning to leave me?"

Kelly wanted to laugh..

Zev hadn't been this anxious when transferring the assets. But now, with the divorce papers signed, Zev was questioning her every move, unsure if she might leave him.

"I'm not going anywhere," she reassured him softly. She wanted to tease him, to say that if he didn't behave, she might leave. But Zev's fragile/state kept her from making any joke that might push him further.

Zev let out a sigh of relief and hugged her even tighter. "Come back early, okay?" Kelly nodded, her voice steady. "Behave yourself.”
