I smiled on hearing Mr Chancy's words.He wasn't wrong with his observations.I and Stella were growing closer by the day that most times I forget that she is supposed to be my step daughter, I see her more like a best friend.She looks out for me and cares so much for me unlike those days when she made life miserable for me in the house.At first when she started being kind to me, I thought it was a joke, but it was real after all.I sat beside him "yes, we are growing very close Larry."I wonder how I have been able to get used to addressing him as Larry when I am in front of him and Mr Chancy when I am standing before someone else.He is going to be my husband after all, so addressing him by his surname wasn't proper at all."Did you go out?" He asked on seeing by shoe lying beside my bed.I fixed my gaze on the shoe as I swallowed hard, I was supposed to place it back in the shoe racket which was filled with lots of

Louis turned to his mother "I met Selena the other day."Thelma stood to her feet at once "you did what?"She looked furious.Louis gaped "why are you acting like I said I met the devil?""Well you did meet the devil" his mother yelled."Stop it mother!" Louis screamed."Stay away from Selena or you might get yourself in trouble Louis, end this fire before it burns you too" she said.Louis scoffed "well you wouldn't be saying this now if Maryann didn't come out from no where to ruin my plans of running away with Selena."Thelma gasped staring at her son.She couldn't believe what she just heard.Thelma knew how dangerous it would be for Louis if Mr Chancy gets to find out that he ever had plans of eloping with Selena.Thelma walked closer to him and placed her hand on his shoulder "you remember what Mr Chancy did to you the last time he saw you with Selena, stay away from that girl if you really want to live long, that girl is b

Stella chortled raising her shoulders high, she walked gently around the room."I know it's not your wedding day yet my lady, but looking good at all time is my major priority" she said.I nodded my head in agreement, Stella is one lady I know who pays great attention to everything she wears and of course she is crazy about fashion, I guess this is one of the reasons why her father is comfortable with her following me to the boutique.I sighed standing to my feet "I wish I could pay so much attention to myself like you do."Stella laughed walking closer to me "of course you can if only you allow me teach you how to."I nodded "maybe after the wedding."She giggled moving backwards.Stella placed her hands on her hips smiling "so tell me Selena, how do I look?"I had this grin on my face with the way she stood, her legs were long and straight, Stella looked like one of those models you see in the front of a magazine and I can't deny the fact th

Selena's POVStella was taken to the hospital.She had lost so much blood by the time the ambulance came.I tried reducing the flow of blood but the knife stuck in her belly got me even more scared, I was scared that I might end up causing her more harm.My body and hands were stained with blood as I paced the hospital hallway impatiently waiting for the doctor to come out and say something good.I was so scared of what Mr Chancy might to to me if anything should happen to his only child.I hated the fact that this had to happen to Stella but who would want to kill me?Stella sacrificed herself for my safety and I can't just believe that she could take such risk for me, why would she even do something as dangerous as that?I felt weak and tired.My shoulders sagged as I quietly sat on a long bench close by supporting my bowed head with my hands.My tears dropped to the ground.The whole event came flashing back into my mind, it

Louis was dumbfounded.For a moment he stood still lost and drenched in his own thoughts.He couldn't comprehend anything that had just happened.Louis ran after his mother and the man."Mother what is going on?" He yelled.Thelma and the man were fast.Louis had a hard time trying to catch up with them with his face frowned.Louis paused when they arrived in the middle of the road.Their was a crowd and an ambulance lifting bodies to the stretcher.He got even more confused.Louis heard his mother screaming on top of her voice and the man who had come to the house to break the horrible news to her was trying his best to console her.Louis walked faster to the ambulance before the bodies were lifted into it.He unzipped the blankets covering the corpse.His mouth dropped open on seeing his younger brother looking dry and thick.There was a gunshot hole in his forehead and blood stains all over his face.Louis

Louis couldn't say a word.He stared blankly into his mother's eyes whose face was soaked in tears and her eyes clogged with more tears which were gradually fighting it's way down to her cheeks."It's of no use trying to explain anything to you mum cause you would never listen to me" Louis said.Thelma scoffed running her hands through her face.She couldn't believe that Louis could still confidently talk to her.She blinked her eyes severally "you are just unbelievable, how on earth did I end up having a stupid boy like you as a son?"Louis was shocked "mum what did you just say?""You heard me right stupid! You still talk about listening to you after what happened to your brothers? My sons are dead, dead Louis all because of you!" She yelled."Mother listen! I have had enough of you yelling at me and accusing me of something I know nothing about" he said sadly."I see.... you know nothing about it right? Yet you attacked Selena and Mr C

He took a glance behind.I swallowed hard rubbing my hands on each other."But he told us nothing" the body guard said.I glared at him snatching the car keys from his hand."Don't you ever call me a liar" I warned.I walked straight to the car and got into it and sat quietly.I pinched myself hard looking a little surprised at myself."Did I just talk to that body guard that way?" I thought shutting my eyes.Well that was the only way I could get to make him believe that I was telling the truth.I started the engine of the car and drove off.Few minutes later...I parked the car in front of Louis's house.I alighted from the car, my eyes were everywhere searching for him."What are you doing here Selena?" I pheard a voice ask.I turned around at once and gasped.It was Louis and he looked like a shadow of himself.I couldn't say anything, I was just staring at him."I asked a question Selena, what

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

Why do you have to choose that witch over me?" She yelled."Call her a witch one more time and I will cut your tounge out!" Louis threatened."You would do
