POV: Selina I can’t believe he wants to use me and replace a pet rabbit. I wish he had just told me he liked me and let me respond as I’m supposed to. All the nice lunch and perfect character would have been nice if I wasn’t being asked to replace a rabbit. Like, what the hell is he going to do with a big rabbit like me?“Don’t you think that it’s weird for his rabbit to bear my name, isn’t it weird that she looks just like the rabbit on the frame?Why do you think he wants me to replace her, couldn’t he just get more rabbits if he needs more pets?” I asked angrily as I paced the living room area of my new apartment. I’ve been this way since I got back home, I’m so angry that he would even compare me with a rabbit. Our lunch day was going so well, it would have ended in his bedroom if he hadn’t said those troubling words to me. I couldn’t sit still for one second, it’s more alarming to think that a part of me wanted to say yes to replacing a pet rabbit. I loved him so much, that I w
POV: Selina“I’m sorry, Mrs Wilson, you got it all wrong ma’am. We both know I would lose my job if I shared the creativity of the interns with anyone. I can’t report to you before to the boss too, it’s clearly stated in my employment letter that I report directly to the boss. I don’t know who made the rules, but I’m pretty sure you all agreed to it before it was decided. I may not be able to change the rules for you, but I could run errands for you if you like. I could get your coffee and…”“I have a PA that is paid to run errands for me. This is exactly what I want from you. It’s either you say yes or you leave my sight right now and never come to again.” She stated firmly. I opened my mouth to protest, but she hissed and walked out on me, ignoring me again. It felt so strange, I mean, why give me a job when you won’t let me do my job, what am I supposed to do now?I stood there for a few minutes thinking of what I would do about her unusual request. I was still lost in thought as
POV: Felix “Stay right here, I’ll get help.” I told her and pushed her to the far end of the elevator. I went back to the door and banged harder on it, calling out loudly to anyone out there. I left her standing there while I stood by the door and tried to get help. To her, I was doing my best to get us out of her. She felt sad because my attempts to call for help inside the elevator failed, the emergency button was ineffective, and the mobile signal was lost. I hid my phone in my briefcase, and when the elevator went down with us inside, I’d stepped on her phone on purpose and smashed it. I made sure her phone was damaged in the fall, and then I lied about not bringing my phone. To be honest, in fact, this whole charade is just an act to prolong the time we spend in the elevator together. It is not a fucking accident, it’s all me.Yeah, I know you’ll call me a freak. But come on, it’s fun to have her right where I want her to be. You cannot imagine the pleasure I felt when she held
POV: SelinaI paused as I got into my office. It looks so beautiful and perfect, I can’t believe it was redecorated just for me. I could see some familiar paintings and designs, just like in my house. I think it’s the same person that is responsible for the home and office décor. He did such a good job on both, I must commend him someday. My office has a good view of the city, I can step out to my balcony for some fresh air while enjoying the beautiful scenery. My office is right across from his, I could see him all day, and he can see me too. I wonder if I can do my work very well from this office. I’ll be so distracted by him, that I’ll probably be watching him all day. I might end up sitting on my seat and drooling over him all day long.Now I see why Amara was concerned about me working in the same office with him. It’s going to be even tougher now that I’ve told him I like him. I won’t be able to get my eyes off him, and neither will he. The sexual tension between us is going to
POV: Selina“I thought you would take the day off after such a terrible accident this morning. I was just helping you review the new designs from the interns. I wanted to make up for the way I responded to you this morning.” She told me calmly, faking a smile. I walked up to her and picked up the file from her table without saying a word to her. I opened the first and second pages, viewing the first and second designs in the file to see her review of them. But there was no review on any of them. I was right after all, she wasn’t doing me a favor, she was trying to sell these designs and I just walked in on her and ruined her plans before she could conclude her deal with the guy on the other end of the line. I noticed some of the designs on her thighs and I presumed these are the ones she was about to sell before I walked in on her.“There are no reviews on these designs, Mrs Wilson. Or did you only review the designs you have on your thighs?” I asked her, feigning laughter.“Oh, thes
POV: SelinaI was seething in rage when I got back to my office. I can’t believe that I had to keep such a huge secret from Felix. I felt so furious whenever I thought back to her offer, it’s just so ridiculous. She thinks she can buy me off with a few bucks just because she helped me get this job. I paced my office in anger, pulling my hand through my hair. Good thing Felix was not in his office when I came into mine. One look at me and he would know that something is wrong.It’s one thing to keep a secret from him. But if he finds out about it and asks me?I’ll fucking spill the truth without thinking twice. I care deeply about Simon, but I won’t lie for his mother. If I’m caught covering up for her, I’ll be out of a job again. And I’m sure I’ll be blacklisted by FY Glams, no one would want to hire me ever again. The thought of losing this job made me shiver in fear, I picked up the files and glanced through them, counting them to be sure the number tallies with the number of inter
POV: SelinaI couldn’t tell anyone, I don’t know who to trust in this office. I’ve always wondered why everyone seems loyal to her, like, too loyal. Now I’m beginning to think that they all have something to gain from siding with them, or maybe she blackmailed them all and had them shut up. With the stunt she pulled down there, there is no telling what she is capable of. I met a package on my table the moment I walked into my office. I thought it was a surprise gift from Amara to celebrate my first day at work, but when I saw the note on top the box, I knew immediately that it was left for me by Felix.“I hope this makes up for the accident this morning, my pet.” He wrote. I smiled as I tore the package open and saw the latest iPhone box sitting prettily in it’s box. I gasped in shock and rushed to inbox it faster. This is a phone I’d always dreamed of but I could never afford it. When I opened the phone pack, I found another note from him, “Call me, my love. I want to be the first
POV: Selina “I’m sorry,” I muttered softly. I placed my hand on his thighs and looked at him, looking into his eyes. “I’m sorry, I made you so upset. I just need time to get to know you better, I didn’t mean you make you so upset, it’s my fault and I’m sorry,’ I told him, looking into his eyes. He turned to stare at me strangely, it was as if he wasn’t expecting me to apologize to him after his outburst. He pulled over and turned off the car, then he brought his hands to his, burying his face in his hand in shame.“You really are the best of them all, aren’t you?” He asked in amazement, placing his hand on mine and locking hands with me. He held my hand up, caressing his face with my palm. He held my hand and turned to stare helplessly at me, his eyes filled with regret and pain, “I didn’t want to be mad, I promise, I just want you to be with me. I like it when you make me your top priority, I want to be your only friend, I want you to care for me like I care about you. I want to b
POV: Selina“What’s going on, why is everyone so quiet, what happened here?” I asked the interns as I reviewed their new projects. They shrugged their shoulders at me, refusing to say anything to me. Some of them even rolled their eyes at me, eyeing me as if I did something wrong. I felt angry, I didn’t know what to do, I don’t even know what is going on and I definitely do not want to find out from Mrs Wilson. For all I know she could be the reason why everyone is staring at me this way. Maybe her secrets have been exposed. And if I’m seen with her, I will be in trouble too. I decided to go to the one person that I know would not hide the truth from me. I decided to go to Simon Wilson to find out what is going on. I know we are having some conflict and disagreement, but that won’t stop him from telling me what is happening here. As I walked towards his office, there were hushed whispers coming from some of the bolder staffs who do not care about my wrath. It seems they do not
POV: Selina “You don’t have to do this, Lina. You heard the doctor, didn’t you? You need rest, that’s what he said, in case you forgot.” Amara yelled at me as I paced the room, waiting for the cops to pick me up. She wasn’t there in his office when he said I had an anxiety attack. If she was there, then she would understand why I needed to speak to an officer and get the full report from last night. Doctor George is right, I need to identify the cause of my panic attack and deal with it. In this case, I need to find out if Martin was anywhere around this vicinity last night. Upon returning home, I decided to contact the police to check if the surveillance footage captured any suspicious individuals lurking around my house yesterday. Luckily, I was able to speak with the officer who handled my case last night. He assured me that he is still working on my case and he told me there was no strange activity around my house last night. I pleaded and asked him to check a few blocks away
POV: Selina “H… H… How did you know I fell in the bathroom, I never said that to anyone, Martin. How did you know?” I asked in shock, my hands shaking in fear as I realized that he was also wearing a blue jean and boots like my attacker. I looked around me and almost all the guys around me had the same kind of boots and jeans too. I couldn’t take it anymore, my heart was beating faster and my entire body was shaking vigorously. The stalker could be Martin, it could be Felix, it could be any of these guys around me. I don’t know who it is or why he would want to hurt me and that hurts so bad. I thought I would be fine, but hearing Martin and realizing that the stalker might be Martin has left my emotions complex and uneasy. I’m feeling as if I have been drawn into an even deeper void. Everyone suddenly looked suspicious to me, I had to hold my head as it hurt so bad. “You must have said it while you were telling your story, I mean, how else would I know?” he asked jokingly, making
POV: FelixI sighted Martin Moore amongst her friends and it pissed me off to see her chatting so freely with him. Simon Wilson was there as well, but he wasn’t in her circle, he didn’t even go near her. I’m guessing that he is posted at her for hanging out with me. I don’t care if he wants to hate her, as long as he doesn’t ever come close to her, then I have no problem with him.But Martin is not someone I can chase away easily. The fact that he was flirting with her made me so furious. It’s obvious that she knows him too well and she is even enjoying his company. I took pictures of both of them together, I’m going to question her about it when she gets back to the office. She was having fun chatting with him, then all of a sudden she frowned deeply and her hands began to shake by her side as her fears returned. I wanted to run up to her and hug her, but then I would have to explain why I was here and I would look like a stalker. Her emotions are complex and uneasy, it feels as if
POV: FelixIt had taken everything in me to stop me from forcing myself on her when our bodies collided. She was at her most vulnerable and wished to take control over her when she was too weak to put up a fight. I held her, comforting her, trying to make her see the thrill of getting so scared all for nothing. But she wasn’t seeing it the way I wanted her to, she was too scared to make sense of what I was saying.I wanted to take her home and make her feel better. I have a very comforting tea that would relax her nerves and put her in the mood. That’s what I want, it’s what I have always wanted. But Selina is damn too stubborn, that strong will of hers, it’s too difficult to break. I thought she would be too scared to spend one more second in that house, I thought I had her where I wanted her, that she would not resist and she would follow me back to my house.But she was determined to prove to her attacker that she was not scared. She did all she could to look and sound brave, but I
POV: Selina“Stay back!Stay back! Don’t come any closer!Stay the fu*k away from me, stay away!” I yelled at him, my heart beating in fear as I realized that the cops were no longer here. I’m alone with him and there is no telling what he would do to me. He looked surprised by my reaction, I could tell that he felt hurt by my words. I tried to turn away, but he blocked my path and held out his hand to me, a nervous smile playing on his lips“What are you doing?It’s me, Lina…I’m here now, I’m here to keep you safe.” He told me, sounding hurt and sad. I turned to look at his face and I broke into tears, trying to forget about the sound of his boots hitting the tiles and the frightening sound he made when he kicked the door open. I stood on that spot and sobbed sadly, my tears flowing freely down my cheeks. For some reason, my legs refused to move any further. I don’t want to leave him standing there in the cold, and I don’t want to go to him either. I just stood there crying my eye
POV: SelinaI was awoken by a strange sound. Amara decided to spend the night at her man's house, so I was all alone in the house. Someone is attempting to crack my front door lock. I’ve heard the clicking sound a few times and I’m filled with extreme fear. I shivered in fear as I lay on my bed. With fear in my heart, I got out of bed and stayed huddled by the bedside table, hiding behind the curtains.“Wait, why am I hiding when I should be calling for help?” I asked within myself. I ran to the other side of the room and I got my phone and called Amara immediately, “Help, Ama!Help!Call the cops, someone is breaking into the house, I’m in my bedroom, call the cops!” I yelled into my phone. She wanted to ask many questions, but I hung up immediately and called the cops myself. I told them about the intruder and they asked me to go into a safe space and shut the door firmly. I made sure they knew that he was desperately pushing at my door from outside trying to crack it open. After
POV: Felix“I’m coming after your son, Simon, and I need you to look the other way,” I told Mrs Wilson on the phone. She wanted to speak on his behalf, but I stopped her right there,“Mr Moore, huh?” I asked her, letting her know that I knew about everything she had been doing in my company. I’ve always wondered why she seems detached from her duties lately. It’s not news that our designs and being copied and recreated before we release them to the public. When we couldn’t find the culprits responsible for selling out our designs to our competitors, I blamed her for not being focused on her job. The only reason why I blamed her was because It’s her duty to make sure this never happened and so it’s her fault they got in the wrong hands. I just blamed her out of anger, I never truly believed that she could do such.I never thought she could steal from me after everything I did for her family, I never thought to investigate her. She has been in the company even before I took over, my g
POV: Felix During dinner at the restaurant, I forced myself to hold back from yelling at her and forcing her to do everything just the way I like it. I showed great interest in everything she did, but trust me, I wasn’t really interested in all that as much as I was interested in her body movement. I watched her every move, loving her smile and her chatty attitude. She shares the same hobbies with me, which is a bit weird because I’ve never met anyone who likes the same thing I do. I’m so weird that no one else shares the same hobbies I like, we have so many things in common. I kept smiling like an idiot as I watched her tell me happy stories about her school and her grandmother. She has so much going on in her life right now. If you ask me, I don’t think she should be doing such hard work at FY Glams. She should be taking a break, traveling around the world, and having fun. If she submits to my control, I will take her with me on every business trip or vacation I go to. I would ke
