Selena watched him as he breathe in harshly as if he was possessed. He didn't look a bit like the sweet cousin she'd once knewHe advanced toward her. "You are mine, Selena. I love you and I assure you that your father was here. I had a nurse watching over him, maybe they went out together""Liar! I'm never going to leave with you. I rather die than go with you. I've held on to my father's death for so long and it has caused me much heartache. And you know what, I'm ready to let go. I'm going to forget about my past, about you, about everything. I am not going to be a part of your madness" she shouted, tears spilling down her cheeks."I am not giving you a choice. I'm going to make you mine" he stated darkly as he rushed at her, trying to rip off her dress. Selena screamed and fought back as hard as she could, scratching him with her nail, hoping to gouge his eyes out. The hard punches that connected with her stomach had her wheezing and seeing stars as she curled up in pain. It was g
Selena POV.It had been a week and I was already getting better in the hospital. I was surprised at how fast I recovered, but I was also worried. All through my stay here, Andrei hadn't shown up. Not even once, and I thought I would have preferred it that way, but it turned out that I hated it.I only saw him on the news as he followed up on the case and made sure the perpetrators got what they deserved. Jose was pretty much half dead from the way Andrei had beaten him up tho. His face had practically been damaged and I felt a little pity for him when I saw him on the news. He had been in a wheelchair and was aided to his court hearing. His mother kept screaming that they were innocent and that it was all my fault. I could not comprehend the extent of that woman's delusions.I was going to be discharged tonight and I appreciated the long stay I had at the hospital because I got the rest I needed. Nicola became the slave since I had her do everything for me, especially when it came to
Selena came out of the car, staring at the familiar mansion she'd come to call home. Andrei Marko mansion. She had delayed her stay in the hospital hoping he'd show up and yet he never did.She was so furious, she wanted to burn the damn house down_with him Inside_ if only the thought didn't make her nauseous.For two whole weeks! For two freaking weeks, he acted like she did not exist and she felt like smashing everything on the wall once she got inside to make him realize that she was still freaking alive and on the same earth as he was.She entered, after pressing the password, feeling oddly satisfied that he didn't find the need to change it while she was gone.Selena had thought about him all through the week and it hurt to even realize that during that time he might not have thought about her once. Was he with another of his ex again."I might murder someone if that fucking happens" she murmured to herself as she looked around the mansion. Everything was exactly as she had left
SELENA'S POV."A little more to the side Andrei... Yeah like that, now look thoughtful"I smiled as I ordered Andrei around. Andrei rolled his eyes for the hundredth time and almost pouted as he followed my order. I had taken countless pictures of him already and why, because he looked hot once he put on his shirt and I needed a keepsake."This is such a nice view, Mr. Andrei Marko," I drawled in a flirty tone and give him a wink, and then he was striding over to me in an instant, and all I get out was a 'huh' before his arms went around my waist and then he was kissing me silly and I couldn't help but let go of the camera to grab at his white shirt. I made sure to squeeze it around my fingers because those ladies at his business meetings needed to know he was taken. He pulled away from me almost reluctantly and proceeded to give me another lingering kiss. I was breathless when he pulled away. I was also really aroused and I needed some respite from the build-up within me"You. Drive.
Andrei stood beside the kitchen door and watched the two most important women in his life talk, laugh, and make dinner. Andria looked so happy and Selena seemed so content that he felt that his heart would burst. She turned around to face him as if she was attuned to his presence. Her lips formed in a pout as she saw him. He smiled at her because he was sure at this point that a certain way he smiled drove her crazy."Come on" she whined and he laughed. Andria turned to face him, finally noticing that they were not alone. "Andria, your brother is at it again...""Not on my watch... I know how y'all get in the kitchen. Now off you go Andrei, stop bothering us"."I'm not even doing anything, I just want to watch my wife cook and I'll help if you need me to do anything""No! you can't. you'll just be in the way of everything. Go get ready, your father-in-law will soon be here. you don't want to make a bad impression do you"."I just want to help," he said playfully as Selena tried to wre
Selena knelt at the feet of Andrei markos not daring to look up at his face. She kept her eyes level with his feet. His shoes looked expensive. She was almost sure It was worth the money he accused her father of stealing. He watched her disdainfully like she was thrash. She couldn't understand how a young boy could be so cruel. Why he didn't have sympathy for those who couldn't afford all the luxury that his money could buy.His gaze was like granite. They bore into her, intimidating her, making her fidget."Speak up pig, what do you want?" His rough voice crawled all over her skin sending shivers down her spine in fear. He was calling her a pig because of how chubby she was. It hurt but she had to save her dad so she willingly took all the insults he hurled at her.“my father is innocent. He is not a thief and he worked for your father all his life. Please investigate this issue. My father is all I have left in this world. Don't let him rot in jail”.She pleaded, tears streaming dow
Eight years later.Selena smiled as she walked into the company greeting some of the company workers that she was acquainted with. She had changed considerably in eight years. She had lost weight, maintained flawless skin, with gorgeous red hair. Her eyeballs were an intense shade of blue, with arched eyebrows and thick lashes that made her eyes stand out like sapphires. Her lips were luscious so she used a deep shade of red lipstick to highlight them.She was different now than she had been at fifteen. Back then she was clueless, with no accomplishments, begging at Andrei's feet to pardon her father_the enemy's feet. She changed everything about herself, and she pulled it off so much that she had been working for Andrei as his assistant for three years, yet he didn't remember or recognize who she was.The transformation was due to the help of her cousin who also worked for the Markos empire. He made sure she got the best education and also enrolled her in an exercise program with a n
She gasped as he shoved her against the wall painfully, his nails digging into her arms."Do you know how much I detest being lied to Selena? You thought you could kill me that easy?" He scoffed " people more skilled than you have tried" he roared In her face causing her to flinch in panic. He let go of her, taking a step back. He shoved his hands into his pocket as if to resist the urge to hit something, or her"Hh-how d-did yo-you kno-know...."He cut her off loudly" your eyes Selena!! You think I would not remember a rare feature about my enemy. You think you changed so much that I'll be stupid not to recognize you? I do have to give it to you, you have guts to even try and pull something like this".She felt the anger rising in her chest, threatening to choke her at it's intensity. It was like a cloud of smoke coming up from all four corners and trapping her in the middle to inhale all the deathly fumes."How did you know I was going to poison you"." I was keeping watch on you be

Andrei Mansion.Andria walked in and noticed the silence that invaded the whole building. She knew exactly where Andrei would be and walked towards the minibar. He was there clutching a glass of whiskey, judging by the empty bottles on the table, she could tell he'd drank a lot.He looked up at her, his eyes were a mixture of harsh remorse, he looked tired and miserable. Her heart tugged within her and she rushed towards him but she stopped when she noticed him stiffen at her approach.Andria looked around, but the quiet house was too eerie for anyone else to be around. She turned her gaze on her brother. "Andrei, where is Selena?" She asked tentatively.Andrei gazed up at her, his voice hoarse when he answered. "She left"Andria's brows furrowed. "What do you mean she left. I saw the news, I thought everything was already resolved"."I won't repeat myself, Andria. She's gone" he said in a hard tone and looked up at her."Why don't you go after her, maybe she was scared that you were
Jose pushed the door open, ushering Selena into the house. They both stopped, noticing Jose's mother, who stood at the foyer to welcome them home. Mara smiled, moving towards Selena. "Such a beautiful child, Selena, I thought you'd never come for a visit." She scolded cheerily. Selena couldn't help glaring at her."Where is my father?" She asked, looking around the room. Mara was taken aback at her abruptness. Selena felt Jose shove the door close. He stood behind her probably communicating his mom with his eyes.The frown changed into forced laughter. "My, my, my Selena, what a very bad way to talk to your aunty"The term grated on her nerve. She wanted nothing to do with their insanity. "Aunty?" She murmured in disdain. The pain had receded on the drive and all she felt was anger and revulsion. "You're not my aunty, you're just a sick twisted woman" she yelled. Mara struck her across the face into silence, making her head snap to the side. She clutched at her cheeks in surprise, slo
Selena POV.I am numb. Not the type where you can't feel your feet or hands, it was more psychological.I tried to make sense of what he said but I can't will myself to feel anything. Putting the pieces of information together had my head spinning.My father was alive and Jose had been keeping him, hostage, all this while even if he said otherwise. Even if he said that he rescued him from the prison when it had caught fire. If he truly did that, he wouldn't have kept it a secret, watching her suffer, without saying anythingMy heart ached. I felt like closing my eyes and never waking up. It was all Jose. The one I considered family. He stole from Andrei, had my father take the fall for his crimes by manipulating him into signing documents, and the one he couldn't get him to sign, he forged.I had been hating Andrei all my life, confiding in an enemy, loving him as my only family, and yet he had my father all along. He let me suffer, filling my mind with hate until I was consumed with
Selena gazed into his eyes, his soul bared to her, but it was vice-versa, she felt like he was looking deep into her heart. She bit on her lips as sudden nerves assailed her."You have feelings for me," he said, voice so raw it made her stomach twist until his expression hardened. " You're lying again"."Am not! .....Fine, believe what you want then. Do you think it is easy for me to admit that to you? Do you have an idea of how it feels? I know I'm betraying my father for feeling this way towards you. It's all your fault" she accused not breaking eye contact.His facial expression softened but the uncertainty on his face didn't completely disappear. He watched her closely as if trying to get into her head, to figure out what she was thinking."I want you to be with me," he said suddenly, his hand caressing her cheek like they were fragile precious stones."Why?" She asked, trying to focus on the conversation and not the sensation his touch ignited through her body."Because you make
