POV: Selina“Okay, I know the interview didn’t go as planned, but I got the job, Amara!I’m in!Now it’s time to start bringing in the big bucks and start paying off the loan. I’m so happy, Ama, it’s a dream come true!” I let out excitedly as we both sat in our apartment and talked about my interview. There was a moment there when I wanted to lash out at the interviewer. I mean, what has my sex life got to do with the job, what does my preferred sexual partners have to do with anything?It’s just so sickening. It got more annoying when I was asked if Amara is my lesbian partner. Like, what the fuck is wrong with these people?I tried so hard to maintain my positive attitude and answer the questions. It would have been such a scandal if I’d lashed out or even slapped my interviewer. I felt so relieved when I got the job, and I signed the document presented to me quickly before they changed their minds. It had taken Simon a great deal to get me this job, I didn’t want to let him down.
POV: Selina“Get your filthy hands off her!” Someone screamed from the doorway. I was on the floor with my hands covering my face. I turned towards the sound of the voice and I saw him standing by the door, his face scrunched up in anger. He pounced on them and dished out punches in different directions. “My hero…You came for me, Felix, you saved me,” I called out to him after he took them down. He turned to me and offered a warm, comforting smile, “I can never stay away from you, Lina. I will never let you get hurt, I will always protect you.” He assured me, bringing his lips down to mine in a passionate kiss. We were still sharing our passionate moment when I heard someone calling me,“Selina, wake up!Wake up, Lina!Wake up, already!What happened here, what happened to you?” Amara called out to me, tapping me gently to get me to stand up.“Felix?Where is Felix?” I asked in my dizzy state, turning around to search for him.“Felix Yeats!Did he come here after I left, was it hi
POV:: FelixI saw her reaction when she saw her new apartment, it was divine, so beautiful. That is the look I want to be seeing on her face, I want her to be wowed by my surprises. At first, she was scared to see that she had been stalked. She was about to panic and run away, but I instructed the driver to tell her it had nothing to do with a stalker.“We always want our staff to feel at home, so we go the extra mile to make them comfortable. The interior designer was asked to design your apartment with things you are familiar with. And that is exactly what we have here. We hope you like it,” the guy told her in a professional tone that made her eyes go wide in shock. “This is beautiful, how did you pull it off without my knowledge?It’s Ama, isn’t she?She let you into my room to take pictures and design this for me. It’s so amazing, I love it. Why didn’t she tell me?” she asked in surprise. He had no answer to that question so he just nodded curtly and stepped aside for her to adm
POV: SelinaJeez!Living in this neighborhood is definitely going to be tough. Everyone is so snobbish and rude, like very rude. One lady bumped into me on the road and her groceries spewed on the road. She was so mean, and she made me pick them up for her even though she had been the one at fault. I was just dealing with her when a kid who was learning to ride a bicycle ran into me and knocked me down with his bicycle.“watch it, lady!” Was his only response to me as he picked up his bicycle and sped away, not minding if I was hurt. I bruised my ankle and knee on the floor, so I had to stop by a pharmacy and get some adhesive bandage to cover it up. I spotted him the moment I walked into the supermarket. There is no hiding place for the aura that surrounds him. With his figure and his looks, there is no way in hell that you would miss him in any place. He always stands out, his charisma and aura distinguishes him from everyone else. The moment I spotted him, I froze in place as I re
POV: FelixI was holding on to my self-control as if my life depended on it. I had to hold myself back from kissing her in the car. The thought of pushing her away forever was my driving force all night. I had to do everything in my power to keep my hands to myself. I exerted great effort to restrain myself from kissing and making out with her in the car and in her house too. When we had that conversation about food, I learned that she enjoys spicy food and I mentally noted that Selina Nash likes spicy food and ice cream. This will be at the back of my mind so I can always take her to a restaurant that serves spicy foods and I’ll make it a habit to get her ice cream too. I’ll use these treats to reward her when she listens to me and obeys my orders. So far, I’ve kept my motives a secret from her. Despite my strong emotions, despite how much I wish to stay back and keep her by my side. I did not linger long in her apartment. Like an expert, I skillfully eased her wariness, building f
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: 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
