2021-12-30 14:45:25"Wylow! Come here, baby."
I wiped Wylow's mouth that is full of chocolate, Haru gave me an extra tissue.
"Britanny should be the one who is doing that." He said, I threw the used tissue on his face.
"She's busy on preparing the foods."
He sat down at my side while fixing Wylow's hair, "If we ever have a baby, she will be beautiful like you or he will be more handsome than me?"
I pushed him with all my strength, "Stop that nonsense. I didn't even give you a permission to court me again."
"I can court you in bed," he said while twitching his eyebrows up and down. Yuck, he's so disgusting.
We left him there, I heard him calling my name, but I ignored it. While waiting for Britanny and Haxilla, I scrolled at my feed.
"Their baby is so cute."
Maxine posted their family picture for the new year, they all look elegant. I stared at Jaxon, he is more comfortable now with his own family than before. He already accepted it like I did.
"Wylow, did you make Aunt Selena stressed?" Britanny said while getting her son from my arms. I shake my head at her, she peeked at my phone, "Maxine gained weight, huh."
"Yes, maybe it's because of pregnancy. By the way, is everyone ready?" I asked.
She nods, "Hm, that's why I looked for Wylow. Let's go."
"Happy birthday to you... Happy birthday to you..."
Wylow's birthday celebration went alive and fun. While watching the other visitors enjoying the party, Raven gave me a cup of juice and sat beside me.
"You seem more alive now."
"That's resurrection," I joked.
He sighed, "After my mother died, I don't think that I can cope with it."
I looked at him, his face is full of sadness. He tried to smile, but it can't change his sad eyes, "But, every time I see you, it reminds me that I should be stronger. All the things happened to you is worse than mine, but still, you can keep your smile."
"Nothing will happen if I stayed in the dark, if I don't move to find the light. It's scary to stay in that kind of place, so you should also do that. Even it has a long path to take before you get to the light, you must keep on moving on. That's how life works."

My hands are encircled by a chain. My waking body was greeted by a cold and cement odor; this place is a shambles."You're awake, Selena."That familiar voice made me raise my head."Jacob? All of this was done by you?"He gets down on his knees and looks me in the eyes. I could see how much rage was now residing in his heart and spirit. His fingers twirled in my hair and brushed against my face."I apologize for using you, Selena. You're Jax's priceless jewel, which he can't afford to lose" with every point he makes, he says.I cocked my head and smirked. He didn't know anything, and my eyes are fixed on him, like if my death is a long distance off."You're wasting your time; Jax won't show up—"Because of a gunshot from elsewhere, my word is cut short."Get away from my wife, Jacob,"

THREE YEARS AGO Only the two of us stood beneath the frigid sky on a snowy December night. He grabs my hands and pulls me in closer. His eyes, like mine, are full of bliss, which I believed could only happen in movies. The butterflies in my stomach began to tickle my entire body. For me, it's a lovely night, and I'm feeling like a princess. He's speaking with his heart rather than his words when he says, "Thank you for coming into my life, Selena." My shaking hands smiled at him as they touched his face. "Thank you for always making my heart warm, even when the weather was so chilly." My eyes immediately closed

My headache caused me to wake up. What a shame that I was a complete mess last night.When a man approached from outside the room, I was going to get out of bed. He has a platter of food and soup in his hands.He pushed the meal to the side and said, "You're awake." I have a puzzled expression on my face as I stare at him.He's a baritone - a particularly attractive one, to be sure – but I remembered something."Yes, I'm the man in the café," he says, cutting off my words."You didn't hurt me in any way, did you?" I inquired, cautiously. He just sat on the couch and laughed at me."Why? Did you have a strange sensation in your body?"What? What exactly does he mean?"What exactly do you mean?" I inquired."Every time you're devirginized for the first time, it's unpleasant, so did you

I awoke with a big grin on my face. I need to start my day off on a good note-"AHHHH!"When I heard Haxilla cry in the living room, I bolted."Can you tell me what happened?" Brittany was the one who asked."A cockroach flew on her body, and you know how much Hax despises cockroaches," she explained as she stood there watching Haxilla jump and roll around the room."Did you simply stand there like that? Oh, please help me-ah!" Hax had fallen on the couch.With a shake of my head, I returned to my room. Later, when she realizes the cockroach has gone away from her, she will be fine.I can still hear her yells, but I choose to ignore them and prepare for my interview.Sel, be courageous and confident. You've got this!Haxilla stopped whining and began preparing breakfast as if nothing had happened

I was in a rush because I had gotten up late yet again. I've never gotten up on time, geez. When the bus came to a halt in front of me, there were a lot of people going inside, and I couldn't get in because of the crowd. With a frown on my face, I walk backwards to allow them to pass. Why did I get terrible luck when I was born? I checked my watch and realized that waiting for another bus would make it difficult for me to make it to the interview on time. Running is easy for me because I wear flat sandals. People who bumped into me were ignored as I ran. A number of individuals have voiced their displeasure with my actions, but I haven't had the opportunity to apologize to them yet.

"Finally, we met," Ma'am Perfiana said as we exchanged handshakes. "Yes, I'm really apologetic for the previous day; my documents got bogged down in a muddy puddle," I stated. Her face was filled with both confusion and worry. "Why? What went wrong? "She inquired as she prepared her laptop for the interview. "I got bumped by a jackass, grr nevermind," I joked, and she laughed as well. We're seated on a bench outside the company, which is unusual for a job interview. "By the way, ma'am, does the job interview have to take place within the company?" I inquired. "Look at the spot where we are," she replied with a smile. Only a few folks were walking there when I looked around. Unlike outside of a company, there is a low population count here. "All I see are people walking by..." "The company was l

"You're wearing that outfit again," Haxilla said as I walked out to my room."What?! Today is my actual interview," I said and sat down for breakfast.Britanny was preparing the food on the table, and my brow furrowed when I noticed a cake that was unusual on our breakfast table."Why are we having a cake? Today is none of our birthdays.""That's our good luck gift for you," Britanny said, smiling as she sat down.I'm not sure what happened, but my heart began to skip a beat."Thank you for being so sweet." I was about to hug them when they backed away.I came to a halt and gave them a cold stare. They didn't love me, hmp! I sat down in my chair with a betrayed expression on my face.

"Wait, you're saying the glasses you broke in your life are the most important requirement?" Incredulous, Haxilla inquired.In the interview, I told them everything that had happened the day before."Yes, when I was aware of it. My heart was racing so fast, "I said this as I was cutting paper for a flower origami. We're assisting Britanny with her client's debut design."That's strange. By the way, you're friends now with Haru?" Britanny inquired as she glittered the flowers."No, I'm not sure. Perhaps just a casual get-to-know-each-other?""Do you have a photo of him?"In response to Haxilla's question, I shook my head.My phone rang as we were putting the finishing touches on the flowers a

BRITTANY'S POV "Drive faster, Wade." I'm praying hard while we're on our way to Selena. I keep on telling myself that nothing bad will happen to her, nothing. She'll be safe while waiting for us. Wade tried to overtake from the cars in front of us. We both became annoyed when the red light appeared in the traffic lights. This shit, we need to get there faster, we don't know what things can Jacob do to Selena. "Jaxon is here already," Haru said when we saw men that are lying on the ground unconscious. I'm a bit amazed on how Jaxon did this all by himself, he's an ace. We followed Haxilla when she suddenly run at the warehouse. We saw that Jacob hitting Jaxon at the other side, while Selena almost lost her voice because of her screaming. I immediately run to her while our other friends trying to stop the men of Jacob. "Get away of here with Jaxon,"

SELENA'S POV "Do you want to have a wine?" Jacob asked me while holding a bottle of wine and two wine glasses. I smiled at him and get one wine glass. We are quiet while appreciating the beauty of the stars at night and a tasty wine. It's been a while since I felt this kind of peace, it is so satisfying. "Are you feeling well now?" he asked after a long silence. I nod, "Hm, thanks to you." "That's nothing—oh, wait, someone is calling." When he gets out of the room, I immediately tapped the recording app on my phone and checked the other phone if it's already linked to the other one. Since I found the GPS device at my bracelet, something unsual starting to bother me. His footsteps are getting closer and louder, that's why I just kicked my other phone under the bed because I panicked. "Did you wait for l

HARU'S POV "What is she doing there?" I asked myself when the GPS was at the empty lot, a bit far away from their house. Did Jacob just... Oh, shit! No, it can't be! I immediately get my keys and jackets, rushed to get to my car to go where Selena is. While driving, my heart beating so fast that it can go out of my ribs at any moment, the cold sweats also covered my forehead and palms. "What?" I answered Haxilla call. [Where are you going? Why you're so in rush?] I'm biting now my nails because of anxiety, "How did you know?" [I'm about to go to your house and saw you that you're in rush. I'm actually behind your car now.] A red car is tailing me, that's Haxilla. She shouldn't follow me, she can't see the body of her sister if ever that Jacob did something brutal. That bastard, I should have killed him

SELENA'S POV "You don't need to do that." Jacob appeared at my side and took away the dishes from my hands. He smiled at me that made me pout, he is always smiling at me like it will convince me to do whatever he says to me. I rolled my eyes and continue washing the dishes," I'm fine, okay? It's not that hard." His stares are making hole to my soul, it made me look back at him while my brows are furrowed. "What's the thing with that stare?" I asked him. "What if Jaxon didn't do that thing? Do you think you will be in this kind of situation?" He asked me back that made me shocked and get hit by realization. I smiled, "No one wants it to happen, and he's not the one to blame why my life became like this. It's his parents." Even though my heart literally crushed into pieces when I knew the news about him

HARU'S POV "Where are you going?" Jacob asked as he stopped at my front. I ignored him and continue my walk to Selena's house, he suddenly pulled my arm to stop me again. "What's your problem?! I just want to check if Selena is fine," I shouted at him. He smirked, "She's not that well, so please, go back wherever you're from because any moment now, Selena will wake up." And motioned the way out of this house. I put my hands at my pocket and directly looked at his eyes, "What's your plan?" "What do you mean?" "I know you're planning something, that's why you keep on getting close with Selena." He laughed and tapped my shoulder, "You're so observant, Haru. That's right, I'm doing this to get her trust and my business will run smoothly." "What?!" My forehead creased, my fist clenched and any moment from n

ALEXA'S POV "Alexa! Alexa!" I looked at Haven, who is running hurriedly towards me, "What's the matter?" I asked. She showed me her phone, an article is there, Sir Jaxon and Ms. Maxine are the thumbnail of that article, "Read it." She let me get her phone, so I can read properly the article. My eyes widened while reading it, this must be a fake news, there's no way that Sir Jaxon will do it to his wife. "That's fake news for sure," I said and give her back her phone. She stomped her feet while shaking my shoulder, insisting that it's real. "Haven, please, we have so much to do here to believe that kind of shit." "It's real." Konrad suddenly appeared at her back. He told Haven to leave my office, he looked at me while dropping off the documents that I asked him. "Don't tell that you believe it—" "Sir Ja

SELENA'S POV "Nanny Karen? Can you help us—" my words cut when her room is empty. Where did she go? I walked downstairs to ask Haxilla. "Where's Nanny Karen? I can't find her," I asked Haxilla while looking around the house. She throws me a balloons and tapes, instead of answering my questions. "Put some air for that and put it around the banner." "I'm asking you if you know where Nanny Karen go," I repeat my question. "She picked up the others on the airport. Hurry, they'll be here any minute," she said and run to Hershey when she heard it cry. I shrugged and fix the other decorations, while doing it, someone knocks on the door. "Please open the door, Sel. Maybe it's the cake I ordered." As I finished tying up the balloons, I walked quickly to the door, a delivery man holding a box of cake smiled at me, "Delivery for Haxill

She shook her head that made my shoulder to fall, "I'm busy for Raven's surprise party," she whispered and shake my shoulders. "All right, all right, stop it. What are your plans now?" "I'm planning to tell Wade and Haru to come over, a little reunion to be precise. What do you think?" she excitedly asked. "Hmm," I hold my chin and acts that her idea is bad.
