Few minutes later, we arrived at a boutique pulling up slowly in front of it.
I was surprised wondering what we were doing there, but I didn't bother to ask, perhaps this is the place he wanted me to go with him.We got down from the car and stepped into the boutique.The boutique attendants seemed to be familiar with him as they gave us a special attention.Well I wasn't surprised about that, he was rich and popular, so he certainly deserved that.He ordered them to take me into the dressing room and get me something nice to wear.I gaped "but why?" I asked turning to him.He only smiled at me and said "its good to look good dear."I was dressed up in a red dress and silver high heel shoes, it was pretty and I liked it.A bright skinned lady with dark curly hairs helped me with my hair and applied a mild makeup on my pale face, just like magic it worked.I stepped out looking gorgeous, Mr. Chancy stood to his feet grinning on seeingI was quite for a few minutes, so scared of mentioning the amount and wondered what he might say or think of me for asking him to help me which such amount of money.I cleared my throat when I finally found my voice, I was about the speak before I heard my phone ringing from the small silver purse Mr.Chancy had bought for me."Excuse me sir..." I said reaching into the purse for my phone.I stared at the screen and gaped "not now.." I muttered taking a glance at Mr.Chancy who couldn't get his stare off me not that I knew why but whatever it was, it didn't make me feel comfortable having him look at me that way.Mr. Chancy noticed the look on my face "it's your boyfriend I guess."I nodded looking away "how could he have guessed right?" I wondered arching my brow. Well... every boyfriend ought to check up on their girlfriends especially one that is an orphan.He shrugged "he must be so caring for you to be with him, go ahead, pick your call" he urged.
I looked away "I guess you do.""I was at the restaurant an hour ago, the place was locked and you weren't there which means you are lying to me Selena" he said staring straight at my face."Have you been spying on me Louis?" I asked looking shocked."Since when did caring for you become spying? Why are you thinking that way?" He asked staring at me.I took a deep breath feeling very nervous, for days I have been trying to avoid this, I felt choked up and confused at that moment.l, lost in between my lies."Fine! I lied but I had my reasons Louis.""What ugly reasons would also make you keep the whereabout of your sister from me?" He asked raising his voice."You're dating me Louis, not my sister" I cautioned.He chortled "are you saying that I don't have the right to ask about your sister?""I want to go home now!" I shouted walking away."Selena wait! wait! We aren't done talking!""Give me a break Louis! Their is nothing left
Louis walked home drowned in his own thoughts, it was still early and he had few minutes to get ready for the market.He walked into his room and picked his piggy bank from where he hid it breaking it open.Louis picked up his phone and called Selena informing her that he would bring the money to her house later in the evening."You can't be serious Louis" his mother said walking into the room."What do you mean mother?" He forced the money into his pocket."We have pressing needs here at home yet you want to take your savings to a girl?" She asked angrily."Mother, her sister is very ill and she needs my help" he answered."Are you too blind to see that Selena isn't for you? She's destroying Louis" she said bitterly."Enough mother!" He cautioned.His mother grabbed him forcing the money out of his pocket."Mother let me have my money back!" He yelled."Your father's medications needs to be replaced or would you rather allow yo
Maryann folded her arms "I just wondered how you confidently believed such a thing, I would never do any of that Selena."I was shocked, she just wasn't ready to admit that she lied against me.I shrugged "maybe we should meet Mr.Charles then so you could tell him to his face that he was lying, only then would I believe you.""What???" Maryann had her eyes wide open almost popping out of it's socket, she was staring at me like she might swallow me soon.I watched her for a while "are you doing it or not?"Maryann looked away "I'm not doing it Selena."I gasped "so it is true after all, you are a real bitch Maryann."She laughed walking closer to me, she pushed me on the chest "oh! yes I am, are you just finding out?"I was shocked."Take a good look at yourself Selena, you are acting like a saint, you have everything girl, a rich man asking your hand in marriage, every customer likes you, they keep talking about you, you have a handsome b
Maryann walked out of the restaurant with her face frowned, she boarded a cab and paid walking into her home, she looked extremely exhausted.She met her two younger siblings setting the table for dinner, her father was watching football on the television."Good evening father..." She greeted."He nodded "how was work Maryann?""Fine father..." She said walking away into her room.They weren't rich neither were they so poor, at least they could afford food to eat.She went back to the kitchen to help her mother."You don't look so good today" her mother said talking a glance at her.She chortled "I'm fine mother...."Her mother stared at her for a while "really? Why do I have this feeling that you're lying?"Maryann laughed "I'm not lying mother, come on..."She was trying to cover her bad mood besides she couldn't afford to allow her parents find out what she had done at work to Selena else they might yell at her for bridging h
From the first day Mr.Chancy saw Selena, he got attracted to her and started making investigations about her, her background, friends and every other thing about her.When he approached her with his proposal and she refused, he went to buy Louis off with money, but Louis wasn't ready to back out.From the information he gathered about Louis, he realized that material things doesn't impress nor attracted him.Mr.Chancy got furious about his refusal to accept hos offer and because he was determined to get what he wants, he went to Louis's mother and offered her money in exchange that she frustrates Louis's relationship with Selena and help him break them apart.Louis's mother never liked Selena, she hated Selena because of an issue she had with Selena's mother many years ago over a man called Raymond.Louis's mother was called Thelma while Selena's mother was Claire.Flash back........Thelma and Claire were best of friends, they grew up together in
"Just this once that I need your help more than anything in the world Louis, you're turning me down, I know you're lying to me Louis, why are you doing this to me?" I bursted into tears.I couldn't with hold my emotions has it has consumed the best part of me creeping into everything part of my body and engulfing me with it's burning furnance.My throat was graudally growing dry, I suddenly grew very thristy and desperate, I could feel the weakness of my bones growing harder which each second that swept my.My hands and feet were shaking nervously, Louis was my last hope and accepting that he has finally disappointed me what something I have refused to take.I wish so hard that someone could wake me up from this nightmare but it wasn't a dream, it was the reality of my life staring at me straight in the face.I swallowed my pride, putting my ego under my feet as I went on my knees holding his leg, he was my boyfriend, perhaps he could have a little compassio
"Selena, I feel so tired and weak" she said to me.Tears crawled out of her eyes down to her ears.I shook my head "you are strong Anabelle and I know it, you would be healthy soon."She shook her head "I don't have much time Selena, I can feel it."My sister was suddenly speaking like my mother when her sickness got worse, I shut my eyes "I can't loose you too sister, I won't let that happen."Anabelle gnashed her teeth in pain, she reached out her weak hand to me, tightening her grip around my wrist.It hots alittle but I cared less, I knew I deserved worse than that by allowing my only sister to through unbearable pains for weeks in the hospital.I wiped the tears on her face trying to put up the big sister Act "Whatever it will take to get you out of here healthy and hearty, I'm willing to take the risk, just hold on be patient and strong for me."Anabelle shook her head sadly "What do you think I have been doing for the past few weeks sis
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
