Kylie's POVI looked at the mirror, dressed in a black short open back gown and I looked beautiful. We were going to a dinner date before we returned home tonight.I couldn't believe it was already two months, time did fly very fast, “My girl is ready,” Jaylen entered the room with one hand behind him and I blushed at his words.“What's in your hand?” I smiled at him and went to check behind him.Jaylen smiled and brought out the flowers from behind and gave them to me. I took it with a smile on my face and kept it on the bed, “They are very beautiful, thank you,” I kissed his lips.Two months ago, I promised not to fall for Jaylen or grow any soft spot for him but here I was today, in love with him. I can't believe I was in love with my target. I didn't mean to fall for him, it just happened.“Everyone has returned, after our date, we will return,” Jaylen hugged me and I relaxed in his embrace.He held my hands and led me to the car. Jaylen has been nothing but a lover these past few
Kylie's POVI placed my hand over my mouth and shifted from the person, “What happened? Are you okay?” Jaylen asked as he came to meet me.I went on my knees to check who it was when I realized it was Madam, I checked her pulse and it was perfectly fine. Jaylen tried to wake her up but she didn't stand up.“How was everybody in this house drugged?” Jaylen thought to himself. He carried Madam in his arms and gently placed her on the chair.I was about to stand up when I saw someone by the wall, there were people inside this house. I pretended as if I didn't see anything and stood up.I needed to tell Jaylen codedly but how, “Jaylen how about we go to the hotel tonight then tomorrow you will deal with it?”“I would have but seeing Madam in this condition, I can't, I need to call a doctor for her,” Jaylen pushed what I said aside and brought out his phone.I moved closer to him when I saw the person moving behind the curtain. He was definitely an assassin, “Jaylen, listen to me now.” I
Jaylen's POVI woke up to the sound of someone knocking on my door, I gently stood up from the bed so I wouldn't wake Kylie up.I picked up a shirt from the closet, I glanced at Kylie one more time before leaving the room. She looked so peaceful sleeping, I didn't think last night would happen so soon.“Madam, how are you?” I asked when I saw her standing by the door.“I'm fine, I wanted to know what you and Kylie would love to have for breakfast,” Madam smiled.“Don't make breakfast for us, I will prepare something for us,” I smiled at her, she was about to leave when it suddenly hit me, “What happened yesterday?”“Yesterday?” She looked confused and I nodded my head, “I don't know, after having the drink, Rex got for us, we all went to bed.”Rex got them a drink? “Where is Rex now?” I didn't suspect him, I just wanted to confirm something.“Rex is at the outside lounge, the one at the back,” Madam said, and without thinking I went to meet him. I noticed the house was already clean a
Kylie's POVI touched the other side of the bed but opened my eyes when I realized he wasn't there. I stood up and checked the bathroom and he wasn't there. I wondered where Jaylen could be.I went to Harper's room to check on her but she wasn't there so I went to the kitchen and she was there.“Harper, are you okay?” I asked when I entered the kitchen.“I cannot be okay, my head is pounding, I wonder what Mr. Rex put in that drink of yesterday,” Harper poured a glass of water into the cup and drank from it.“Rex? Rex brought the drinks of yesterday?” I asked to be sure I heard right and Madam nodded her head.Did Rex drug everyone to kill Jaylen last night, I need to see Jaylen. I was about to leave to look for Jaylen when it suddenly hit me that if I saw Jaylen now, it would only mean I would have to explain what happened last night.Instead of Jaylen, I should see Rex, “Where is Rex?” “At the back lounge, he is_”I didn't let Madam finish when I dashed out of the kitchen, when I p
Kylie's POV Jaylen stares intensely at me, so many emotions fill his eyes including tears, his lips quivered as he refused to let the tears come down his eyes. I'm sorry Jaylen, I promise I didn't mean to hurt you but I knew I was going to anyway. “Call the doctor here and take him inside,” Rex gave an order to the people around. “Don't take him inside my house!” Jaylen yelled while still looking at me, “Call his mother to pick him up now else she will take back his corpse!!” “And you Kylie, you have a lot to answer, including yesterday.” Jaylen held my wrist tightly and began dragging me inside the house while I struggled to pull away. I didn't want to go inside till I figured out a good answer without revealing too much. “Let me go!” I yelled as I tried to pull away. When I saw my yelling wasn't working, I bit his hand and he instantly let go of me. He turned to look at me with anger on his face, I was boiling from the inside, I hate when people think they are the boss of
Jaylen's POVWhat was their relationship? Why was Kylie protecting him and why was he protecting Kylie? I was very surprised that Kylie went on her knees just for me to free him, what was her connection with him?My heart felt heavy seeing Kylie cry on her knees for another man, just as I was about to tell her to stand up, she said, “I will give you all the answers you need ”I walked up to where she was kneeling, “Which answer do you think I need the most?” she wanted to answer to save him but not herself.Truth is I don't care about the answer, I just wanted her to be happy but seeing her beg for another man angered me so much it made my bones ache.“My marriage, my child, and _” I covered her mouth with a small smile on my face, how do I explain that I didn't care about her marriage? And I could make room for her child. I think I had gotten to the point that all those didn't matter.“Oh Kylie, your marriage is just a piece of paper, I will take care of that, and your child_” I pa
Kylie's POVI ran away from Jaylen, entered the room, and locked the door behind me, Shoot!! What was wrong with me? Why did I allow him to stay so close to me?I lay on the bed and let out a piercing scream, how was I going to protect Andre now that Jaylen might be suspecting me?Just when I was thinking of a good answer to give, my phone beeped, I opened it and saw it was a message from Antonio.I was wondering what he could possibly want today of all days, I read the text and saw he sent me the address of Jaylen's doctor. Shit, I even forgot I was supposed to meet her the moment I arrived.I hurriedly entered the bathroom and had my bath, it was so fast, I wasn't sure I even bathed well and I wore something smart, comfortable yet intimidating.I opened the door to leave when I saw Jaylen standing outside and his hand mid-air. I guess he was about to open the door before I opened it.Jaylen looked at me from head to toe, “Are you going somewhere?”I bit my lips but I was careful not
Kylie's POVI sat in the back seat inside the car, with Sam in the front seat, Andre in the back seat, and the driver in the driver's seat.“Ma’am please tell me the location,” The driver asked for the tenth time since we entered the car.I couldn't give the location, “What?” Andre mouthed and I shook my head.Andre coughed, “Sam,” he touched Sam on the shoulder, “Please, let's drop by the supermarket, I want some pain relief.”“Pain relief? We didn't even touch you,” Sam said, Andre rolled his eyes and I stiffened my laughter.“Don Jaylen pushed me so hard and right now, my back is hurting,” Andre said as if in pain and I was trying my best so I wouldn't laugh.“Stop by the Supermarket,” Sam instructed, the driver started the car and Andre winked at me.I didn't know what Andre's plan was but I will follow and listen.When we arrived at the supermarket Andre came down from the car and signaled for me to come down, “I want to get something too,” I said and Sam got down too, “Where to?
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'
