"Cheers!" They choroused.They all looked so happy, congratulating Mr.Chancy who looked so proud while I sat there feeling like a sacrificial lamb.I didn't say a word even when they tried to talk to me, I only smiled while feeling upset within me.I left the office in no time in the company of Mr.Chancy, we drove off in one of his cars."Where are we going?" I asked feeling uncomfortable.He turned to me and smiled "you're presently my fiancee and bride to be and as such you need to meet the standards of the Chancy family."I gaped " I don't understand."First you would no longer work at that restaurant, you would rather work with me at my company, secondly you won't go back to live in that house of yours..."I cutted him off before he could say another word "you didn't tell me that I would start living in your house or qui

We pulled up in front of a boutique.I gasped a bit and turned to him looking disturbed "what are we doing here?"He winked at me "we are here to shop young lady."We alighted from the car, I walked closer to him "sir I don't need new clothes, you just paid for my sister's medical bills..."He waved his hand at my face cutting me off "but I'm not complaining Selena, just go in there, the ladies would help you select good clothes befitting for Mrs.Chancy.My eyes widened "who... who.. is Mrs.Chancy?"He laughed "you of course Selena, that's what you would be addressed as soon, you should start getting used to it."I gulped hard on my saliva looking lost, I wasn't dreaming, I have actually agreed to marry a man old enough to be my father and saved my sister from dying, a huge relief isn't it?No, this wasn't a relief for me, yes I have saved my sister but my heart is even more heavier, I felt like I have lost my identity and the person I truly a

I felt a slight headache, I ran my hand through my forehead feeling a little feverish "I was just having a bad dream."She nodded still staring at me.I looked up at the lady's face, I could barely see her face clearly, my vision was blurry.I rubbed my hands over my eyes hoping it gets better soon enough.I had dozed off in my new room, I was so exhausted after going here and there with Mr.Chancy, I haven't slept well in a long time though.The lady hissed "what are you doing in my mother's room?" She yelled.I was surprised, she didn't sound nice to me at all.Fortunately my vision got clearer, I sat up on the bed, my shoulders ached alot.I scoffed taking a quick glance at her face and around the room."I don't understand...." I said stuttering a bit.I couldn't understand what she meant by her mother's room besides I have never met the lady before.She yanked me by the arm "did you just say you don't understand or are you de

Mr.Chancy shook his head still wearing his usual smile.I stole a glance at him wondering how he was still able to smile in a situation like this.This wasn't funny at all, his daughter doesn't look like she's ever going to accept the fact that her father wants to marry someone who looks almost her age.I couldn't even imagine her calling me stepmother, can you imagine that?The room was really getting hot for me, I could feel my back and armpit getting soaked in cold sweat."It's not a joke Stella, I and Selena are getting married soon" he said.He made it sound so simple with the way he said it, I could sense alot of pride and confidence behind his words, like someone who just won a trophy.Stella stared at us for a while, her eyes kept fluttering.I could imagine how much she was hating me right now within her, I would do the same if I were in her shoes, this was not an easy thing to accept.She was just too shocked, he mouth left agap

"I can't believe this father, this is so not happening" Stella yelled almost in tears.Mr.Chancy glared at his daughter, he looked extremely furious."That isn't enough for you to speak to her in such rude manner!" He thundered."Not when you have her lying in my mother's bed" Stella cried out."This remains my house Stella, I choose to give out which ever room I choose to" he said."No dad! Not under my watch!" Stella folded her hands.Mr.Chancy gasped staring at her "I am the one getting married Stella and not you."Stella's eyes widened "dad she's my age mate, can't you see that? What do you expect the world to say about this?""The world can say whatever they want to say Stella, I don't care" he said.Stella scoffed "you really don't care father?""I'm sure I don't look like I care" he looked straight at her face.Stella swallowed hard seeing the look in his eyes.She just couldn't understand how her father came up with

Mr.Chancy was furious on seeing that Selena had ran out of the compound, he wanted out of the house looking frustrated, he took a deep breath, he was sure he could find her.He walked back into the mansion."Stella I would not have you insult Selena in this house!" He said in anger."Selena or whatever her name is father, she is not welcomed in this house and that is it, I would not have you marry that dumb thing!" She roared.Mr.Chancy slapped her at once "how dare you?"Stella was shocked, her father has never raised her hand on her.She moved back in fear as her father walked closer to her "you see that woman called Selena, I love her Stella and I would marry her, having her under this roof wasn't easy for me to achieve and I would not allow some stupid daughter of mine to come in between my happiness.""Father..." She cried out with tears clogging her eyes.He pointed fiercely at her "Selena would return to this house and live under this r

I opened my eyes to a room glowing with little light coming from a lamp located at the right side of the bed.I rolled my eyes in confusion wondering where I was, my head still ached alot.I could feel a slight weakness in my body as I placed my hand over my forehead.The door opened and a lady walked in, I could barely see her face nor what she was wearing since the room was dark."Switch the lights on please" I said feeling irritated by the darkness of the room.The lights came on.I sat up gasping, I was back to Mr.Chancy's house, in the same room Stella had claimed was her mother's.I rubbed my hands over my eyes, I could hear my stomach grumbling, I was so hungry."Are you feeling better ma'am?" The lady asked me.I looked up at her face, she was the same lady I saw in my dream the other day who had come to call me for dinner.I nodded looking away, frightened by the thought of that horrible dream."What happened to me?"

Mr.Chancy placed his warm hands on my shoulder.I would feel it because I was wearing a sleeveless top.I stared at his face, he seemed to be aging more with each day that swept by.I sighed looking away, I couldn't stare at his face for long"I am really very sorry about my daughter's attitude" he said in a calm tone.I shook his hands off my shoulder and walked over to the bed and sat down.Mr.Chancy sighed walking closer to me "I'm truly sorry Selena."I chortled "you know, your daughter makes it look like I made more than just a mistake by saying yes to this marriage.""This was the best decision ever Selena, don't listen to Stella" he said."But she is right after all, you're too old for me and I'm too young for you" I said.He laughed softly "is that what she said to you?""It's the obvious Mr.Chancy" I said staring him right in the face for a while.He was beginning to sound like it was normal and okay for men to mar

She mumbled pushing him aside as she walked into the apartment.He closed the door and followed her behind."You didn't tell me you were coming Stella

Yvonne's POVI became even more miserable seeing the prince grow more in love with Princess Avril with so much believe that she sacrificed her kidney for him.The way the princess took credit for my kindness was more irritating and she treated me with so much disdain.It was more like the hatred the princess had for me tripped after I donated my kidney to the princess.The queen did not even treat me any better, she would always remind me that it must remain a secret and if I should ever mention such to the prince, I would be beheaded.I know I have contemplated suicide most times, I know I hated my life but I believe it would be more honorable to end my life myself instead of having my head chopped off on a platter of gold, I decided to keep my mouth shut.The prince's hatred for me doubled and I became his worse enemy.The energy he invests in his anger if he sees me was enough to light a dead bulb, I wondered what the queen and the princess told

Selena's POVIt has been two years since I found myself in this mysterious island and palace, it has been two years since my kidnap got plotted by someone whom I grew so much trust in.It has been two years since I was sold to the queen of this kingdom whom valued gold more than human life, two years of being punished unjustly, two years of being treated like trash by the royal family.At first I thought the prince whom I have grown so much feelings for would be better off in character than his mother and his so called betrothed, but I was wrong after all, they were all the same, treating the servants like nothing cause they believed that they were far more better than us.Though the place was so local, I heard that they had a hospital located in the kingdom, most times I couldn't help but wonder how the hospital would look like, perhaps everything there might also be made of hold.At the early hours of every new month, the villagers brought offerings to the
