Kylie's POV"Kylie, Get ready there are going to be some VIP guests tonight, you will dance in the pole in their room," the manager of the strip club, Madam Kay was sitting on the chair in the dressing room, her on her phone as she spoke and her mouth chewing her usual mint-flavored gum."But ma'am, my duty today is being the bottle girl," I lowered my gaze, avoiding my eyes from meeting her eyes.Ever since I got here, I haven't worked on the pole before, I have been doing other work here but I think this woman has it out for me.Madam Kay chewed her mint gum loudly, she blew bubbles and sited it making a very loud sound, "Really?" She looked up from her phone, "Who is the boss here?""You," I rolled my eyes mentally, I hated her. Ever since I came here, she has frustrated me, she became like this when she found out I worked at the main house."Meaning there is no argument there, you understood right?" Madam dropped her phone on the chair, "Come here," she used her hand to demonstrat
Kylie's POVThat bastard said nothing was going to happen but my inside was burning and I was coughing out blood."Blood," Jaylen wiped his face, I began scratching my neck as blood began to come out of my nose and mouth."You said she was pretending! What's going on now," the men in the room began to panic."You are above the law Jaylen, not us!! We are just businessmen!! We will go in for it and not you!!" One of the men yelled, "Fuck," he hit his fist on the table."Make sure nobody leaves this club till I get back, else you won't ever see your wife again," Jaylen picked me up from the floor and dashed to his car, on the way to the hospital Jaylen kept glancing my way."Call Doctor Anna," the nurse on duty placed me on the bed, I couldn't see very well, my body was weak to the point I couldn't feel anything, what type of poison was it? It would have been better If I was unconscious than to go through this."Sir, Doctor Anna is in surgery right now," the nurse checked my vitals."I
Kylie's POVIt's been more than six hours since my Charmaine entered the operating room for a four-hour thirty-minute surgery. I walked anxiously in front of the surgery room, asking any nurse and doctor who went in and came out of the operating room questions."Mum, I'm scared, it's been hours and nothing," I hugged my mom as I sobbed on her shoulder."Charmaine would be fine I promise," Mother let me rest in her embrace as she stroked my hair gently, "This is the last time for this.""Kylie, I never really asked but why are you in the hospital gown?" Mika asked, I bit my tongue and pulled away from Mom's embrace."I..hmmmm," I scratched my hair sheepishly, "Funny story, so…I…..hmm…" my brain was thinking of what to say that would make sense."Kylie accidentally drank the drugs meant for our boss," Harper stepped in for me, a breath of relief escaped my mouth, but drugs? Harper really? But it was better than poison."That's the funny story," I rolled my eyes with a funny smile on my
Kylie's POV"About what Miss Aimee said the other_"Aimee is now the new miss of the house and Vegas's mother is recovering well at the hospital. I haven't gotten a chance to speak to Vegas till today."I know she was joking around," I stared at Vegas in disbelief, I couldn't believe anything was Vegas pretending or did he not know."Why do you think Miss Aimee was joking around?" I questioned."Can't we just change the conversation? I haven't been out in a long time with you, so please," Vegas pleaded, his eyes begging me to stop."No, we can't, I don't even know what's going through your mind!" I yelled out my frustration."What do you want me to say? Kylie, what do you want me to say!" Vegas hit the steering wheel of his car and I flinched."I…I," my breath caught in my throat, I didn't expect this reaction.Vegas stepped on the brakes and parked his car by the side of the road, "Okay Kylie, what happened between you and Jaylen at the hotel? Kylie, I'm not dull neither am I blind_"
Kylie's POV"I sent her away because I didn't like the way she treated you," Jaylen said from behind me in the bathroom and I didn't even know when he entered the room."Oh, I see," those were the only words I could think of, "But you didn't have to, she is your sister," I added."She is my sister but I don't share that bond with her, I don't like her," Jaylen leaned on the bathroom wall."Okay," I stood up from the floor, "I'm done setting up your bath.""Join me for a bath," Jaylen said and my eyes widened in surprise."How could a mere employee possibly join you for a bath," I lowered my gaze, what was he thinking!!"A mere employee?" I could feel Jaylen behind me, "Would I take a mere employee to a wine opening with me?" Jaylen's fingertips brushed my neck as he moved my hair to the side."Madam would be looking for me now," I turned to leave when Jaylen held my wrist."Madam can wait, she works for me," Jaylen's husky voice whispered near my ears his hot breath fanning my jaw."W
Kylie's POV "Why do you think the caller pick you?" Andre asked while relaxing on the chair in Antonio's office."I don't know," I stopped pacing around the office."It's because Kylie is one of the most attractive assassins in the industry," Antonio answered and Andre clicked his finger."Exactly, I think the caller wants to kill Jaylen emotionally and not physically that's why he needs you," Andre said and I hate to admit, that was the first time he was making sense."But how do you think the caller knew me and had my number?" I raised my eyebrows questioning everything."Only an insider can give out such information, meaning an insider is working with the caller," Antonio replied"Do you think the caller plan is working?" Andre asked, I didn't have to think too much to know the answer."Jaylen is attracted to me, he wants me to move into his room," I sat lazily on the couch."He what!" I gave Antonio the side eye when he yelled."I thought you were seeing Vegas, so what happened?"
Kylie's POV"Do I really have to go for this dinner? Your family is going to be there and a lot of influential families, I don't think I belong there," I explained to Jaylen. This was one of the biggest end-of-year parties in town and only people of power could attend."Why?" Jaylen stared at me through the mirror while adjusting his necktie.Vegas was going to be there and I didn't want him to see us together, "I'm a mere worker, how could I dare go to an event like that." "You aren't a mere worker, you are Jaylen Noire Adryan's woman," Jaylen pecked my cheeks, "Get ready I will be downstairs waiting," Jaylen said and shut the door behind him.Do I really have to go? I wondered how Vegas was doing, after that dinner we hadn't spoken and Jaylen on the other hand was making efforts to win me over.*********"Who is she?" An elderly man who I assumed to be Jaylen's father asked, his voice calm yet holding so much authority and power."I'm Kylie Kazimir," I introduced myself before Jayl
Kylie's POV"Kylie, are you listening to me?" Jaylen asked, "Kylie, I'm_""Huh?" I raised my eyebrows now aware Jaylen was talking with me. Jaylen stared at me for a brief second before turning to look behind him, he scoffed when he saw Vegas, "Let's go greet Marissa," Jaylen dragged me by my wrist before I could reply."Marissa It's nice seeing you here and Vegas," Jaylen smiled at them, his hand finding its way to my waist."I didn't think you would come here," Vegas answered with his gaze on Jaylen's hand and I slowly removed Jaylen's hand from my waist."How is your health?" Jaylen asked Marissa."I'm getting better thanks to both my sons," Marissa smiled at both Vegas and Jaylen.Vegas stretched out his hand to me, "The music has changed, do you mind if we_""Kylie, let's dance," Jaylen pulled me away from Marissa and Vegas's presence before Vegas could complete what he was going to say.Jaylen was getting on my last nerves and I couldn't do anything about it."Do we really have
Do you, Selena Lee take Jaylen Noire Adryan as your lawfully wedded husband?” The priest asked with a smile on his face.It's been a year since the court hearing, Kylie had gotten custody of her children, and Jaylen went for therapy.“Yes, I do,” Kylie said with a smile on her face.“You may kiss your Bride,” The priest said and Jaylen wasted no time in claiming Kylie's lips. Everyone clapped with a smile on their faces.After losing custody, Raya decided to go on a long vacation so she could feel Vegas' presence around her.“Everybody to the reception hall!!!” Sam yelled over the microphone.“First, let's go pay a visit to Kylie and Vegas,” Jaylen suggested. While the guests were moving to the reception hall, Jaylen, family, and friends moved to pay their respects to the memorial Jaylen had built for Kylie and Vegas.Everyone began to drop flowers at the door and say one or two things, some began to cry.“Thank you for being alive,” Jaylen whispered into Kylie's ears with a smile on
Selena / Kylie's POVFather had chosen Jaylen as his business partner and I understood. Jaylen's company was an actual investment but I was practically working for his company.“There is a business plan back in New York I want you to handle,” Father said in the living room as he drank out of his morning coffee.“Father, I just returned,” I whined, “I just can't go back.”“Aurora,” Father called my birth name, “It's okay to let go sometimes; just go to the branch in New York by tomorrow morning.”“But…”Father waved me off, “Just do it; I don't want to see you hurt; he told you he won't divorce her; the world already knows you are dead, so please don't bring yourself out.”Here I was again, obeying Father's request, “Book the flight for tomorrow afternoon.” I understood Father; he did so much to make sure my name and face were off the criminal record, all social media platforms, newspapers, magazines, and so many more, and that's the only reason I'm agreeing to leave everything behind
Jaylen's POV “What's this?” I asked as Raya dropped a document on my desk. “Divorce paper and 50% custody of our kids,” Raya said and I laughed out in amusement. “Are you sober now?” I opened the paper and read through it, “A divorce and a custody of my kids? Hell no, that's never going to work.” “I will inform the press of my extra marital affair,” Raya threatened. “I'm lost here, I'm supposed to be the one using it to threaten you and not the other way around,” I laughed. “Why?” Raya sat on the chair opposite me and crossed her legs, “I would tell the press I had an affair three years out of our ten years of marriage because you neglected me and were still in love with your ex-girlfriend. I will also show them the documents you made me sign; trust me, the headline would be crazy: Don Jaylen Noire Adryan maltreated his wife because of his late girlfriend; what do you think about it?” “What?” What was the mad woman up to? “I will also tell them how you pushed me down the stai
Selena/ Kylie's POVI had purposely arrived late to the dinner I had asked Mika to set; I arrived after they had eaten and had enough to drink; I had expected Raya and Jaylen to come but not Charmaine.“What is she doing here?” I mouthed to Mika and Mika shrugged her shoulders.“Mrs Selena, fancy seeing you here,” Raya greeted with a smile on her slightly red face. I could tell she was already tipsy.“Same here,” I hugged and kissed her on the cheek, “I don't see your husband anywhere,” I asked after looking around the living room.“He is in his ex-girlfriend's room,” She smiled sheepishly.Jaylen was in my room? What was he doing there?“Oh, that must hurt a lot?” I felt bad for her; I wouldn't want the man I was in love with to be in love with someone else.“Oh please, it doesn't hurt at all,” she giggled; she drew closer to me and whispered into my ears, “I don't actually give a fuck; he is just my husband on paper; we don't love each other.”I looked at her with amusement and led
Selena/Kylie's POV“Your drugs,” Mother Scarlett passed me my drugs and a glass of water. I took it from her hand and drank it.“All done,” Mother Rachael removed the IV from my hand, “Are you okay?” I nodded my head with a smile on my face, “Kylie, Charmaine is waiting for you in the living room.”When I was at Jaylen's house, I couldn't breathe, so I passed out, and I was brought to Mr Zephyr's house.“I will go meet her downstairs,” I stood up and went down to the living room.Charmaine was sitting down and was doing something on her phone. I smiled emotionally; I have always wanted to hug my daughter, and I have always wanted to meet my daughter in these ten years.“Charmaine,” I called, she turned to me and dropped her phone on the chair.“Mom,” Charmaine stood up and hugged me tight, “Mom, I miss you, why didn't you call,” I felt her tears touch my skin.“Baby don't cry, mummy is here,” I pulled away from the hug and wiped her face.“I was scared, I was very scared when I didn'
Selena's POV“Did you really have to wear that dress?” Mika hissed as she took a glass of champagne from a waiter.“Why? It's a beautiful piece,” I smiled and took a glass from the waiter, “I didn't think you would come.”“Today is my niece and nephew's birthday, so I wouldn't miss it for the world,” Mika winked, “Your dress reveals your butterfly tattoo and the writing on your hand is obvious.”“Aunty Mika,” A young girl ran and hugged her.“My Charmaine,” Mika hugged her back, “You are a young woman, your mom would be so proud.”“Mother wouldn't be proud of some of her decisions, even dad and mom aren't proud of them,” A small girl hugged Mika.“What decisions did she make?” Mika asked while giggling.“Her boyfriend, oh I hate that man,” a young boy said dramatically.“Aurora and Zayn, slow down; we will talk about it later after your birthday,” Mika hugged the two of them tightly.“Sadly, we won't have enough time; Mom planned a respect party for mother Kylie,” The little girl, Aur
Selena's POV“Ma’am, what do you plan on doing for your husband's death anniversary?” My secretary, Nina, asked while looking at the tablet in her hand, and I sat up on the bed.“Mr and Mrs Noire Adryan has invited you to the birthday celebration of their children,” Andre, my bodyguard said, he passed me a glass of water and my medicine.Ever since my accident, I have been on depression and anxiety drugs and injections. My accident affected my life; It left me unable to walk for two years, and my life was halted for two years. Those are the two years of my life I wanted to forget badly but as long as I'm back in this country and especially this town, those memories will stay with me.“We will be hosting my husband's anniversary tomorrow, but for now, let's attend the birthday of Mr. and Mrs. Noire Adryan's children,” I drank the medicine, gave him the cup, and stood up from my bed to get ready.“Ma’am, the apartment you wanted, Mrs Raya Adryan has put it up for sale,” Nina handed me
Jaylen's POVTen years later“Dad, my boyfriend will be dropping by later,” Charmaine gave me a kiss on the cheek, “Do you want me to get anything when coming back?”Charmaine is all grown up, she wasn't the eight years old child I met ten years ago, she was now eighteen.“No, I'm fine, you don't have to wait up late, I would be back late from work,” I kissed Charmaine's head, “Are you dropping your siblings off at school or I should tell the driver to.”“I will drop them off at school,” Raya offered with a smile on her face.“You don't have to, I'm free and I will do it,” Charmaine forced a smile on her face.“I want to go with Mummy, I don't like your boyfriend's car,” My son Zayn said while eating from his bowl of cereal.“I want to go with Mummy, I don't like your boyfriend's shirt,” My daughter Aurora pretended to gag.Zayn and Aurora were twins, but they were opposite, they didn't like stress, and they loved Raya so much. But Raya on the other hand tells them a lot of stories ab
Kylie's POVI opened my eyes when I felt cold water being poured on me. I tried to move, but I couldn't, I was tied to a chair, and my mouth was tapped.“Finally, you are awake; I thought you died or something,” Rex dragged a chair from the far end of the empty building to my front, and he sat on the chair.It was an uncompleted building, it looked like it had been abandoned for years and we were on the last floor of a sixteen story building.“You are always yapping, why aren't you yapping today?” Rex furrowed his eyebrows then burst into laughter, “Oh, I forgot your mouth is gagged.”“I will remove the tape from your mouth when I'm done talking with your husband,” Rex put my phone near my face and it opened, “What did you save his number with?”He waited for me to answer, this lunatic, how could I answer when my mouth was tied and when I didn't answer he said, “Nevermind, I will just dial it,” he dialed the number and burst into laughter, “You saved it as your husband? You both aren'
