A moment of silence passed between Selena and Eli before he could speak up, "I am sorry but this is an order you need to carry out. No one needs to remind you of that , so please get dressed while I wait outside your door." He turned to leave but Selena's next word halted him in his tracks."Sorry but I am not going anywhere, tell Mr Robert that I refute his orders." Eli sighed audibly before looking at her. His face didn't show much emotion but his voice remained firm, " for the good of us, get ready. You really have to." Without waiting for Selena to protest again, he walked out of the room, closing the door behind him. He sighed and leaned against the wall in await for Selena to get ready. Deep down in his heart, he knew that Selena will comply. She was just trying to be strong headed which he was not sure she is faking or she is really stubborn. Her compliance would show whether she was faking it or not. Selena watched Eli leave and after that furrowed her brows in anno
"I don't care, find her and keep her safe." Caleb was yelling on the phone, obviously pissed. He stood with his back facing the lone bar crafted out at the corner of his room. The moment he spun around, he took a sip out of the whiskey in his right hand. Once he set it down on the counter, he went back to the phone to end the call. A knock interrupted his train of thought and he placed the phone away in the inner pocket of his suit jacket. "Come in," he said with a sigh. When the door creaked open Caleb looked up and spotted one of his maids standing at the doorway. Immediately a scowl settled on his face as he waited for her to say what brought her. He was in no mood to entertain anybody as he had a lot going through his mind. One of which was how to find Maria who had reported being kidnapped and inasmuch as he knew who was involved in Maria missing, he lacked the connection to find her. His connection was loose at the moment and he definitely didn't want to disturb his frie
"Hello!" Was all Maria could say. Caleb said nothing only to stare at her as she stood a few feet away from him. He just wanted to run to her and hug her tightly to himself but he couldn't, his ego was getting in the way. And again he didn't want Maria to know he still cared about her."I am glad your boyfriend didn't harm you." he muttered, gave Robert a look and left to the surprise of Kyle and Maria, Robert was the only one unfazed by Caleb's action. The dude has got an ego issue and Robert has always known, likewise him. A frown settled on his face when he remembered the lady he had left behind the door for the past three days without food. He didn't want to feel guilty, his actions against her were to remind himself that he only cares about himself, Kyle and no other person. The lady visiting him has been a pest also and if not for the existing relationship between The Fin family and hers, he would have thrown her out of his mansion the moment she arrived. "I think he cares
"I am sure three days behind the door might tell you who is the boss here." Robert stated arrogantly the minute he was standing before Selena, glading his index finger along her chin, sending electric waves through her body. Selena shivered slightly and tried stepping back which she regretted a moment later because Robert tugged at her towel, letting it loose. She swallowed hard but didn't try to pick the towel piling at her feet, the only thing she did was to cover her boobs with her hands but then leaving her pussy bare before his prying eyes. Robert's pupil darked as he traced his eyes down her pussy. "Are you seducing me?" He questioned and looked up at her to see her looking back at him with no emotions in her eyes."No, I am not." She whispered but loud enough for him to hear her. "What will you like me to do for you?" Her question sounded more like a statement than a question. Robert watched her for a while before picking the towel up and wrapping it around her."Dinner 6 pm w
Having stared at nothing for close to five minutes, Maria thought it was time to see Caleb or else she was going home. She wouldn't be able to stay there with him knowing that he bears a grudge against her. Making her way to the floor given to her, she found a maid cleaning the stairs. "Excuse me, Do you know where Caleb is?"The maid bowed before replying, "he is in his painting room." Maria raised her brows, she didn't even know that he paints."Can you be kind enough to take me there?" she requested and the maid nodded. "This way, Ma'am" The maid led the way down the east wing, stopping in front of a huge double glassy door, "Here we are." The maid said and knocked."Who the hell is that?" Caleb yelled with raised voice. The maid looked at Maria to understand if she should answer or Maria would, but when Maria said nothing she proceeded to say, "Your lady friend is here to see you." A deep sigh was heard behind the door before he said, "let her in, the door is open." The maid op
"Hello!" Selena said, wiping her tears off her face, she didn't care to check who the caller was. It was her phone but a new one given to her by Robert earlier after she was let out. It has been constantly ringing for about five minutes and when Selena couldn't bear the constant ring, she picked up."Sel?" Maria's voice came at the other end of the phone, jolting Selena out from whatever dark place she's currently in."Mar?!" She tried not to shout but it came out as more of a squeak instead. "Why are you crying?! Oh my gosh!" Maria exclaimed, quickly switching the call into video mode,"what happened?" Selena's tears didn't stop falling, "I am so sorry, I am having a rush of emotions at the moment." She tried wiping her tears and sniffing them back at the same time."Is he treating you so badly?" Was the question that came out of Maria's lips."Yeah, he locked me up and now his son can't stop hating me." Selena sobbed harder. Maria was speechless for two reasons; Selena being locked u
"Hello Gorgeous!" A drop dead-gorgeous man was standing before her in a flash, smiling charmly. His face was attractive, he had blue eyes and dark brown hair. He looked nice enough although Selena couldn't quite say it. He was wearing an elegant white shirt, pants and a black vest. The tie that was wrapped around his neck matched nicely with the black blazer he was holding in his hand. He looked well put together with his expensive suit, looking very dashing. She couldn't describe him as anything except dashing and charming.She turned away, trying to understand why her face was turning red."Hello Sir Creed." Lora greeted her with a bow. The man named Creed didn't spare her a glance because all these time he has his whole eyes on Selena admiring the perfect creature before him. Seeing that she won't be acknowledged, Lora excused herself with a quick curtsey and left Selena alone with Creed. His smile slowly widened away as soon as Lora was out of earshot."You look so fine, who y
Seeing she has nothing to say, Selena left Vicky standing there with her mouth hanging open. Speechless was the word that could be used to describe Victoria Greystone that moment. Selena's words had struck her directly in the soul and she knew exactly the reason why. It was because she wanted Robert for herself and no matter what she does, he never seems to look in her direction. Like Selena said, she had been with him the longest, had watched him fucked his Mistresses and changed them like clothes while wishing he could be hers even if she has to be his mistress. It was unfair to her but regardless of anything, Victoria Greystone is one never to give up on what she wants. She stood still for a few moments, her hands clutching at each other tightly. All she could hear was her own heartbeat roaring loudly in her ears. "Vicky?" she turned and saw Creed leaning against the wall, staring at her with a glisten in his eyes."You okay?" he asked and took a few steps towards her. He was
“Dad?” Kyle called at the door, smartly dressed. Robert looked up from his laptop and smiled genuinely at him. He was trying to round off work before he could go down to the party venue. It was Kyle’s tenth birthday and after he left Peru without Selena, he had engrossed himself in planning the party himself to keep himself busy. That way he would think less of her and funny enough, it worked.“Hey big man. Come in.” He cheerfully invited his son in. Kyle threw himself on his father's bed peeping into the laptop, trying to find out what Robert’s working on. It was surprising to the whole family when they found out that Robert was actually Kyle's father. It was a beautiful surprise. Kyle didn't have to feel any less of himself finding out he was actually adopted by his real family. His only regret was his mother missing. He thought if he had been nice to Selena maybe she wouldn't have left him the second time. He did understand why she left him the first time, it was for his own go
“If I'm with you right now, I would have given you a hard knock on the head.” Maria fumed over the phone. She couldn't believe that Selena would leave the country without letting her know. She was worried sick trying to reach her on the phone. To think that's the least of the things she didn't know happening in Selena's life at the moment.“Calm down, girl. I didn't have time to think.” Selena said, trying to pacify her friend. It wasn't working because she could literally hear her friend breathing heavily over the phone.“Okay. I'm calm.” Maria said after a moment. “So tell me what happened?” Selena sighed and got to her feet, moving about in her hotel room. After landing in Peru, she had booked a hotel and settled in before phoning Maria. Moving around in the new city wasn't hard for a first timer though. All thanks to Google map.“There are things I can't explain to you at the moment. Just know I'm fine and when I can, I will explain things to you.” She breathed, squeezing her e
NINE YEARS AGO It was early on one Saturday morning, a girl was seen hovering around the Fin Mansion. Her face went unseen because of her cap and hoodie that covered everything from her head to waist, only revealing her dark hair and pale complexion.Her appearance didn't seem suspicious in the slightest, almost blending perfectly with the surroundings but the eyes that peeked through the edge of the cap showed that she is indeed interested in entering the mansion or waiting on someone or something. For over twenty minutes, she waited and when her patient was almost worn out, a guard came out and sighting the basket in front of the huge Fin gates, he rushed back in and soon returned with the young master, Robert Fin who was just almost turning twenty at that time. Seeing that her mission had been accomplished and that the baby inside the basket was in safe hands where he belonged, she pulled herself from her hiding and disappeared from sight. The lady turned out to be Selena Parke
Within a minute the ward was turned upside down by Robert, calling Selena's name at intervals.“F*ck!” He exclaimed, scared that something bad might have happened to the lady he just learnt to be Kyle's mother. Robert had questions and he needed answers but firstly he needed to know her whereabouts. He rushed out immediately, bumping into a nurse. "Where is Ms Parker?" He asked in haste. The nurse looked at him with a questionable look, "Sorry, I don't know any patient by that name." The woman apologized, trying to walk past him to continue her job. Robert grabbed the nurse's wrist and held her back, making her yelp in surprise."What do you mean? In a large hospital like this and a patient is missing, you're giving me the crab of not knowing such a patient." His patience was running out and at the same time, he was blaming himself. If indeed Selena is missing, it's should be his fault. How could he had left her alone. Yeah, he was in foul mood yesterday after Selena made it clear
“The baby didn't stay! I'm sorry." The doctor's words kept replaying in his mind. The next few hours was hell for Robert. Pacing around at intervals, blaming himself for not realizing that Selena was pregnant until she had lost the baby, his baby."Fuck!"He kicked the air and tagged at his hair in frustration. It was all his fault. If he had paid close attention, he would have noticed.According to the doctor, Selena was just two weeks pregnant and giving blood out to Kyle had caused the miscarriage.Imagine saving a life to kill another. At the sound of Selena's voice, he turned and she was trying to get off the bed. She was awake now. "Hey, let me help you." Robert offered but Selena pushed his hand away, glaring at him. "When am I leaving the hospital?" She asked sternly, looking everywhere but him. "They won't let you leave until tomorrow." Robert informed her. "How are you?" He asked her. She scoffed and rolled her eyes at him."Fine." She answered bitterly, looking away
The scenario before Selena was the most terrifying sight ever. Kyle was sprawled on the floor with his head bleeding profusely. “How the hell did he slip and fall?” She asked as she tried wrapping her hand on what was going on. Her feet couldn't move, neither did her body. A small whimper escaped from her mouth following a chilling scream from her. The next minute, Kyle's unconscious body was surrounded by the guards and maid. Funny how none of the workers in the place heard his scream when he fell. Commotion followed immediately and soon an Ambulance arrived. Kyle was wheeled in while Selena followed after putting a call across to Robert. She had gathered herself a little but however she still looked shaken and... scared. "Please, don't die." Selena tearfully told unconscious Kyle as she clasped her hands together with his. Her tears wouldn't stop falling as her chest tightened in pain. It hurt like hell seeing Kyle in that state not knowing what his fate will be. The fall was pr
Groaning with one eye open, the wall clock stated 7am in the morning. Too lazy to get up, but Selena has to get up. It was the day she was going to be free. Her contract had ended and knowing what she knows now, she was walking out of Fin mansion without a second thought. Yesterday, Julio had visited and told her about her parents death and how Vera Wilson was involved in everything. She learnt Vera was her father's evil ex and Dash was her half-brother. It didn't matter since her parents were dead so she told Julio that if ever the case was won in court, all that was left in her name should be given to the less privileged. She has nothing to do with what will constantly remind her that she no longer has the people she loves with her. Julio could do anything to convince her but Selena wouldn't hear of any of it. Life had solemnly dealt with her and she would want to be far away from any constant reminder of the things life had snatched from her.“Rise and shine, Selena.” She yawned
"Ma'am, the driver is waiting for you." Selena turned to Flora with her brows raised. "Where is your Boss?" Selena asked, now frowning. Her mood had been sour since she found out about her pregnancy and had stayed back in her room for the rest of the morning. Though she had mixed feelings about the pregnancy, she was keeping it and there was no way Robert would get wind of it. Too bad her baby will be raised without a father because after today she was disappearing and no one will find her. "He's left." Flora mumbled, feeling pity for Selena.How sad that Robert didn't at least check up on her to know why she hadn't been out of her room since the last time they saw and now he was gone?She's not surprised. She knew he doesn't care about women, talk more of a lady like her.With a sigh, Selena got to her feet and headed straight towards the door."Ma'am." Flora stopped her with a soft voice. "I'm sorry about this."Selena chuckled, "why?" "You're sad and it break my heart." Flora t
"So Ma'am, I hope you slept well?" The maid who now has a name tag, Flora, asked, pouring Selena a cup of coffee. Selena was wrapped in her sleeping wear. Her sleepy eyes dulled out as she tried to make up what the maid had asked."You said what?" She mumbled and slipped off the bed, staggering. For the record, she slept off on the couch. How did she get on the bed?"I asked if you slept well?" Flora repeated her question, shaking her head. She likes Selena and it was obvious. Selena was easy to love anyway."What do..es..t.tha.t me..a.n" Selena slurred and blinked repeatedly to wave off the sleep in her eyes."Here." She tried handling the coffee mug to Selena. "Thank you." Selena thanked as she took the drink and sipped it, returning to full consciousness.The coffee tasted delicious. "Does the coffee taste fine?" She heard Flora ask after seeing the change in her facial expression."Yes." Selena replied, giving the maid a sincere smile.Flora giggled, "If you need help showering, l
