Selena's POV
Stella 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, itLouis 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
Selena's POVMy wedding day is finally here and Stella is up healthy and sound though her wound is yet to heal permanently.She had a bandage glued to her stomach but you eould barely notice since she was dressed in a long pink printed dress.I sat there in my room in front of my mirror waiting to be finally crucified at the altar today when I officially become Mr Chancy's bride.Ladies were coming in and out of the room, I barely knew most of them but that was the least of my worries.I was afraid of getting to the altar and turning my back on Mr Chancy.This isn't what I want for myself.I never planned or imagined ever marrying an old man, not today not ever.It has always been a princess story for me, to marry a prince charming, this is what I call every young handsome man.I kept my face straight, not even a single smile on my lips.Like who actually smiles when they are about to do something they never dreamed of doing.Fo
Stella was all smiles and all pretty as she found her way downstairs."Oh... you really did come, I would have skinned you alive if you didn't" she said throwing her arms around his neck.Jeff chortled kissing her lips."Not like I am happy about any of this but I guess I don't have a choice" he looked away."Come on Jeff, don't tell me you're still mad at my dad" she said tapping him playfully on the shoulder."I should Stella, what he did and is doing is totally unfair, you are his only daughter and he is just being selfish, I don't how you got so comfortable with this all of a sudden" he said frowning.Stella shurrged "well their was no point creating more enemies than I already have, it's his money and his life so he can do whatsoever he so pleases with it."Jeff gasped "Stella??? Are you the one saying this?"She nodded spreading her hands apart.Stella laughed."I am the one Jeff, come on chill...." she rubbed his arm."No
The lights were turned on.She gasped in fear "you??"Mr Gabriel nodded "yes me...."Her eyes fluttered as she stared at him.Mr Gabriel dragged her closer to himself wrapping his hands around her waist.He lowered his head to her neck kissing it slowly.Stella was lost watching him explore her body.He started kissing her lips."Stop... stop...." Stella whispered pushing him aside.He gaped as he staggered."Stella what was that for?" He asked."Why did you bring me in here? This is my father's house for goodness sake and someone might see us" she said frowning.He shurrged "who cares if someone sees us Stella? I love you and that's all that matters.""Well I care about someone seeing us, my father would be so angry if he finds out that I am having an affair with you" she said looking behind.He chortled "what are you talking about? Your father is about to wed a young girl so why would he have a problem with his
Mr Gabriel's mouth dropped open.His eye socket almost popping out of it's place with a strangely aggressive look showing the shock behind his reaction.He stared blankly at Stella like she has something weird on her face.Stella noticed the way he was looking at her, she scoffed throwing her face to the left.She ran her hands through her hair like she didn't notice the way his eyes was on her but it was getting too much for her to overlook."Stop staring at me like that, I am only saying the truth" she said frowning her face."Could you just listen to yourself talk?" He shook his heard.She nodded "of course, I heard exactly what I said and it's truth, I am listening to myself talk."Mr Gabriel's gasped "Stella it's your father and his assets we are talking about here, but you're sounding like you don't even care about any of it."She stood up smiling stylishly "of course I know that and of course Mr Gabriel, I don't care about any of i
Selena's POVI was sitting in my room waiting for Stella to come.My gaze fixed on the mirror.I couldn't believe this was truly me.I stood up and leaned forward to the mirror peering at my face.I shurrged in silence taking a deep breathe.I just wanted to go down the aisle and get this over with already and face the next phase of my life as Mr Chancy's little wife.I leaned backwards gluing my butt back on the seat huffing.I was getting too uncomfortable in my wedding dress.I could barely feel my legs as my face was gradually getting soaked in hot sweats."I wonder why she is taking so much time already" I thought taking constant glances at the door.I was feeling pressed, I moved to the restroom when I heard the door open."Stella what took you so long?" I yelled on top of my voice but their was no response.I was done in no time, I quickly washed my hands and walked out of the restroom grabbing the ends of my lo
After a few days the prince noticed Selena's absence in the palace but when he asked, his mother told him how she stole some gold and ran away but she have sent guards to look for her.This amazed the prince but he didn't seem to care about it.It was the tradition of their kingdom to spend a night with the bride on the night before the wedding day as the prince sat in his chambers with the princess who was dressed in a beautiful out fit.The prince smiled at her beauty and couldn't wait to have her.He watched the princess strip naked in front of him but his face broke into a sad expression when he noticed something weird on her body.The princess looked up at his face and noticed he wasn't pleased with her body."What is it my prince? Why do you look so sad?" She asked looking a little frightened.The prince shook his head and rubbed his hand on his eyes then he started pointing at her stomach."Where is it?" He asked.The princess took
The next day came...Louis grew even more nervous when Stella announced that Selena's personal assistant called and she would be having dinner in their house.Mr Chancy have been making an underground investigation about Selena which no one seems to be giving him the exact answers he wants.He grew very upset when he found out that the government have taken possession of Selena's house and demolished the house in it but their was nothing he could do or say about it since he was not legally married to Selena before she disappeared.He rubbed his hands in anxiety while sitting in the living room later that evening, for a moment he believed Stella was wise in trying to bring Selena closer to the family, he imagined the fact that he might be able to convince her to marry him which also gives him legal rights over her wealth.Mr Chancy was a greedy business man who always wants more but he would always say that if you want to be successful in business, you should
Mr Chancy was sitting in the living room having a cup of coffee when the news came up and he was shocked to see Selena on the television, he couldn't believe his eyes.Stella and Louis walked into the living room, they were all smiles as they had just returned from a dinner date, though their relationship was extremely toxic but they tried to pretend outside especially in front of the media."What am I seeing?" Mr Chancy yelled standing to his feet.Stella and Louis walked into in the living room in a hurry looking amazed to here him scream that way."What is it dad?" Stella asked without looking at the television.He pointed to the television looking away.Louis and Stella fixed their stare on the television and gasped."Selena... that's impossible" Stella mumbled in fear.She turned to her father "dad I don't think that's Selena, it can't be her."Her father gasped looking up at her "what do you mean? It's the same face and name."
Selena's POVMy heart is broken, completely shattered.I felt so weak as I wept deeply while doing the prince's laundry.I was done with the laundry and moved straight to my room.Nina was there sitting on a chair when I walked in.She saw the way I looked and stood up in amazement."What happened Selena?" She asked.I could see the terrified look in her eyes, my hair looked a little messed up.I didn't say a word to her I turned away to head to my bed when she stopped me."You're bleeding Selena" she said watching me.Of course I could barely walk well and she knew something have happened to me."Who did this to you Selena?" She cried out, tears soaked her face.I fell into her arms crying like a child."The prince raped me, he raped me" I said repeatedly.Nina was shocked but she held me tight rubbing my back trying to console me in between her own tears.It have been three months since I was raped like the
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
The princess arrived the queen's chambers as soon as she was called.Her maidens and bodyguards waited outside the chamber while she walked in to honor the queen's call.She bowed in front of the queen who pointed out to a seat and asked her to sit down.The princess obeyed and sat down quietly.The queen cleared her throat "you must have heard that the prince, my son was taken to the hospital today" she began.Princess Avril nodded "I asked to come to the hospital to pay my prince visit but I was told that you asked that I remain in the palace."The queen nodded.She didn't think it was right for every member of the royal family to abandon the palace and head to the hospital as a coup could easily be planned in their absence."I had my reasons princess Avril" she said.The princess nodded "I understand.""Princess Avril, the prince, your would be husband and future king is critically ill and would need a huge favour from you to surv
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
Louis rolled his eyes in disgust "Oh please Maryann, don't be such a cry baby and get yourself out of here."Maryann's eyes rolled.A car horn started blaring outside.The big gate was control with a remote control so it was so easy to get it open.Thelma pressed on a button in the remote control and the gate opened.It was Stella.She drove in.Thelma pressed on a red button on the remote control and the gate closed at once.She had a warm smile on her face as she watched Stella alight from the car.Thelma giggled."Isn't my daughter in-law the most beautiful woman ever" she arched her brow.Stella walked up to her and hugged her "of course she is."Stella turned around and noticed Maryann standing there."And what is this thing doing here?" Stella asked glaring at Maryann.Louis shurgged "you mean this beggar? she has come to do what she knows how to do best... beg!"Stella giggled walking closer to Maryann
Louis was in shock, he didn't expect Maryann to attack him like that.At once he reached down to her hand which was already making a mess out of his neat shirt.He forced her hand out of his shirt and few buttons followed falling on the floor.Louis gasped on seeing this, it got him even more provoked.Thelma watched with her hands folded, she didnt say another word.Louis pushed Maryann who fell to the ground in tears.She had hurt her knee and they were bruised and bleeding badly.Louis didn't care about that, he was so angry that he wanted to insult Maryann.Maryann overlooked the bruise on her knee though she was staggering so much to stand.Her tears were still lingering out of her eyes, flowing down to her neck."I loved you Louis, why do you have to do this to me? 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
