" Huh?" I react." Never!" Bella provoked. " Why should she spend the night with you? You both aren't dating."" Selena, will you spend the night with me?" Jasper asked again, ignoring Bella's words." I said she won't" Bella blocked us standing in front of me. " If Selena spent the night in your room, I would make the night a living hell for us all, if I can't spend the night in your room then she can't too, get that?" Bella snapped." Let's go the guest room Selena" Lisa stretched her hand, I nodded, placed my hand on hers and we head to the guest room. “ Better,” Bella remarked, she followed us and we head to the guest room.We shared the bed and soon we slept off. Opening my eyes, it was dark and quiet, I looked around only to see Lisa sleeping beside me with Bella nowhere to be seen. I head to the bathroom knocked but no answer, I opened the door to find it empty. Where did she go? I wondered, Wait Jasper. Immediately I walked out of the guest room only to hear a faint sound. Fo
My hand flies to her chest as I brace myself for the impact. But the pain never came.Stunned, I looked down at my chest, half expecting to see a wound. But I was unharmed. My eyes snap back up to Bella, only to see her standing frozen, the gun still aimed at my chest, but her arm trembling.It took seconds for me to realize what happened. The gun has jammed.Bella seems to realize it too, her face filled with rage. "You're not getting away that easy, bitch," she yelled, throwing the gun aside and lunging at me with her fists raised.I duck just in time, avoiding Bella's fist as it passes my ear. I stumbled backwards, grabbed hold of a lamp and threw it at Bella.Bella lets out a cry of pain as the lamp hits her arm, staggering backwards. But she didn't stay down for long. She charges at me again, this time In mad fury.I dodged her attack, rushing under the bed as cover. I scan Bella’s leg at the same time looking for an item I could use for defense. "Bella must have lost her mind"
"OCD?" Jasper repeats.“ Yes” the emergency doctor replied. "So you're saying she needs help, not prison?""Exactly, She's not a criminal, she's just someone suffering from a mental illness. She needs treatment, not punishment."Jasper's brow frowned as he considered it. "But what about all the stuff she did last night? The drugging and...everything else?" "In situations like these, people often do things they wouldn't normally do." She would do more than this normally," I mumumered to myself. "So this isn't just a one-off thing? She could be dangerous?" Jasper asked the emergency doctor.“ Yes” he nods, the paramedic stood staring at us, which made me uncomfortable.“ Well, if i’m not mistaken,I don't think she meant to harm anyone, last night" I said, trying to prevent writting a statement about what happened last night "But she was so consumed by her obsession that she didn't think about the consequences of her actions.” I add and everyone nods."So what happens now?" Jasper as
After an hour, the nurse Informed me Lisa was awake." Selena" Lisa called out immediately as I walked in. " What's going on, why am I here? The last thing I recall was drinking the glass of water Bella gave me" Lisa added.“ Calm down”, I told Lisa everything that happened last night, hearing it all she went speechless. " Where is Bella now?" she asked." She's at the mental facility," I replied." Better, can't believe she would do something like ....”" Lisa..." I called out, and she turned to face me immediately. I wanted to tell Lisa everything I just found out, tell her that the accident that led to my memory loss and the loss of my baby wasn't just an accident, that it was planned by Paige and Bella, but then I couldn't say it. Should I or should I not tell her, I stare at Lisa. Nodding a bit,I changed my mind. It's best if I don't. Telling Lisa might lead to it getting out, I can't gamble that, I can't let my enemies know my next move, not at this point. it will be save with
" I'm invited to a wedding, I need a female figure but I don't have a girlfriend, will you come with me?" I paused for seconds on hearing this, " I'm invited to a wedding and it's tomorrow too" " Whose wedding?" " Henry," I replied. " Is that the same..."" Yes, so will you come with me, I mean should we go together?" Jasper asked." Sure!" " Okay, Have you chosen a dress for tomorrow?"he asked." I'll be making preparations for that today" " How about you don't stress yourself, I'll send a designer to your place with several dresses you can choose from any or have her design the one you want" Peasantly surprised by Jasper's generous offer, I still don't want to be a burden. "That's very sweet of you, Jasper. But are you sure? I don't want to be any trouble."Jasper chuckled. "No trouble at all, Selena. I want to make sure you have the perfect dress for the wedding. Trust me, it's the least I can do.""Alright, I'll take you up on that. Thank you, Jasper."My pleasure, I'll send
Selena POV/ Paige POV Selena POV" Ahhhhh " I screamed as soon as I missed a step, I tried to hold the door side but my hand slipped through it. This can't be happening, not today, today is special, I can't miss my step today! I stretched my hand trying to hold anything, the curtain, just anything when immediately Jaspers hand held mine. I float in the air, my hair fell back. Gently Jasper pulled me up on my feet."Are you alright?" he asks."I think so," I replied my heart still racing.He placed his both hands on my hair, arranging the strands, and then tucked some behind my ears." It's better now," He add.I nod, trying to ignore the blush that's creeping up my cheeks. Can't believe the bent to eye level thing still makes my heart flutter. Stepping out of the house, Jasper extends his arm to me. I took it, marveling at how natural it feels to be by his side. The drive to the wedding event got filled with small talk and light banter. Jasper placed me at ease, and I found myself
Paige POV "Help!" I heard people scream but I got no time for that. Slowly I sat up clenching my teeth despite the pains I was feeling and the bleeding from my arm, head and thighs. Some people helped me up while others called 911, I looked around and fortunately for me, a taxi had stopped with the vacant signal on it, immediately I leaped off, waving at the taxi, as if my life depends on it. “ You are bleeding, wait for the ambulance” someone screamed but I didn't mind, I got to the taxi,opened it and dragged myself in." Miss you are bleeding, you can't enter my taxi, call 911"." Take me out of here" I yelled.He sighed angrily and zoomed off. Soon we arrived at my gallery and I got down from the taxi to see lots of people. " She is here! " I heard someone say out loud and they all pounced on me. " How could you sell a forge Artwork"" You have to pay me back my money"" I can't let this slide, not after getting duped"." Still can't believe an artist will do this"" Scammers ev
Paige POV"Dad, I... I don't think I can do that, we had so many memories there""I know it's a hard decision, my dear, but it's the only way I can think of to get you out of this mess."" What about you and mom?" " We will be just fine, getting you out of the mess is the most important thing right now" Dad remind me.I sigh without anything to say." I'll end the call now, your mom needs me" Dad ended the call. Tears ran down my cheeks but all I could do was wipe it off.Throughout the day, I worked with a real estate agent to put the house on the market. I was promised before the end of the day or the beginning of the next day that i would get a reply. I couldn't wait, I notified several real estate agents and within 5 hours I got a buyer. With a buyer secured, I breathe a sigh of relief, feeling a tiny glimmer of hope that this ordeal might be over soon. Just then I got a reminder text from the mobs that tomorrow was the deadline to pay them up. The price was fixed, I showed th
