Because Adelaide is a fucking two-faced snake.What does she mean by the deal is off?I got married to a man that I barely know from the moon just because I had some iota of faith that I could save my mother only to be played by a diva.Urghh....the thought of it still annoys me.

SELENA'S POV The sun rays escaped the guarding of the curtains and trickled on my face causing me to stir awake, turning and tossing on the huge comfy bed. I sat up and glared at the curtains for not doing its job properly. I wasn't a morning person and I hated the sun. Jace wasn't in the room... great! You scared him away with your blabbing. I just hope he didn't hear me confessing my undying love for Lee Yeon in my sleep. Cause that would be embarrassing. I pulled the covers off the legs and stood up from the bed. I pulled my hair into a messy bun and reached for the door when.. "JACEEE!!!!" It was a scream of a lady and she did not sound happy. I pondered for a while if I should check it out or not. No...I have to go, I can't let my husband get murdered on the second day of marriage by who knows who. Yah..I know what I said. I went out of the room and crept into the hallway but stopped by the entrance of the living room to peep. What? I needed to be sure if he was
JACE'S POV "Mr. Southerland, it's time for your appointment with Mr. Guillaume", my secretary, Reece informed me before he walked out of my office. Taking a deep breath, I slouched into my seat before getting up. I stood and looked at the city from the glass walls of my office. My phone rang on the table causing me squint my eyes at it before picking it up and looking at the Caller ID: HIM was written on it. I still regretted my choice of him having a way to contact me. I picked up the call and put it on speaker before placing it on table. "What is it?" I said as I placed my hands in my pockets before staring outside again. "Aren't you supposed to be here by now", came the ragged voice of the man I choose not to call father. "I'll be there", I said and ended the call. Grabbing my keys, I carried my coat and left the office telling my secretary to cancel my remaining appointments for the day. Mr. Guillaume had been my father up until I was twelve years old before
SELENA'S POV I ran my hand in my hair as the elevator door closed shut in front of me. What was I going to do now? I had no other place I could go to. I didn't have friends because I don't like people. It was times like this that I cursed my introverted life. I had gone to the bank but they refused to give me a loan because I had been getting a lot of those and I have a huge debt on my hands. I sighed loudly as I fought to keep my eyes open. After my meet with the Maranos the previous night; no relation, I had gone to several places with the hope of being hired even if it was for a short period of time so I could pay for the bill by installments. The elevator door opened to the floor where my mom's room was situated at. I sighed again and walked out, dragging my feet as I made my way to my mom's room. On reaching the door, I opened it but was almost pushed down by a frantic looking nurse who ran out of the room. Weird. I opened the door again but was met with a couple of nurses
Sylvia sat on a stool by the island of her kitchen while stirring the cup of tea in her hands. Her head jerked up, her attention drifted from the cup in her hands as she heard the door bell ring. The maid who was in the kitchen with her left to check who was at the door and returned shortly. "Who was at the door, Jess?", Sylvia asked not looking up from her cup. "It was Miss Marano, ma'am", the maid replied fiddling with her fingers nervously. "Wasn't my daughter at home?" "No... I mean...it's not your daughter" Sylvia's head jerked up, this time aggressively. "It's the older miss, she.....", the maid didn't get to finish what she was saying because her boss stormed off. Sylvia walked into her living room, a livid look on her face as she spotted her step daughter sitting down on a chair engrossed in a conversation with her father. She made her heels click loudly on the tiles to announce her presence as she went to have a seat beside her husband. "Well, if
SELENA'S POV "Do you Jace Southerland, take this woman to to be your lawfully wedded wife, to love and com......", the priest started but was interrupted. "I do", I think, if I heard well, his name is Jace said. Well, someone's a little impatient. It made me want to smile a little. "Well...", the priest cleared his throat. "Do you Selena Marano take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to love him, to honour him and comfort for as long as you both shall live. Till death do you part?" "I do", I said. Well, it's not like I had a choice. The priest exhaled with a smile and muttered those words that I had been afraid of from the start. "You may kiss the bride" Okay, where's Lee Dong Wook when you need him. I had imagine him coming to rescue me but no such luck. I looked up at the man standing infront of me through my lashes. I was a bit nervous okay? In my defense, I have never been in this type of position before and I have every reason to feel this way
SELENA'S POV "Enjoy", I beamed at the customer. He got the cup from me, his fingers brushing against mine slightly.Irritated shiver "Are the straws free?", he asked as he pointed at the stack of straws next to the cash register. "Yes", I nodded. "Are numbers also free?", he winked at me coyly.This idiot.I held myself from giving him a very big eye roll. "I'm sorry I don't understand", I smiled.Maybe if I acted oblivious, he could leave me alone. "Just wanted to know if you had plans this night"Nope, never lucky.Should I use the savage card.Nah, he's not worth it; mentally looking him from head to toe; well..... abdomen, sensing he's on a stool. "I have plans"Plans of snuggling on my bed while binge watching episodes of Tale of the Nine Tailed, Lee Dong Wook really knows how to hit the eye. "That's a shame, really hope I could spare some of my time for a pretty girl like you", he laughed at his attempt of a joke. "Heh..heh", I chuckled awkwardly with
Here's your change, sir", Selena smiled sweetly at the customer as she handed him his cup of coffee.This was her second week of working at the café and she must say she was loving it. The work place was neat and conducive unlike her old job.
