"Your friend is okay." Caleb said, settling beside Maria on the bed.

Over the last few 24 hours after Maria faced the biggest fear of her life, she hadn't been able to put her racing heart at a place. She felt jumpy most of the time and Caleb had done his possible best to put her at ease.

"She has been taken home and she is recovering." He added, reassuringly, pulling her to himself.

"I missed you, you know?" His hot breath fanning her. "I missed you damn much." He muttered in a low whisper, nuzzling his nose on her neck. Maria's breath quickened as anticipation washed over her. She had missed him as much. How slowly she accepted him back was something she didn't know how it happened. The feelings had been there however she didn't want it to escalate to the point it was now. She was back with her ex and she didn't think she would ever regret this decision.

"I missed you too." She mumbled, flashing red all over her face. "I really did."

He chuckled at her reddened expression, "

    Wrapping herself with a towel she stepped out of the bathroom but halted in her tracks at the sight of the person sitting majestically on the three seater chair near the bed. Robert had his legs crossed over to the other and he had this blank look on his face, with his legs tapping on the floor which indicated impatience, Selena's heart picked a race. He was all dressed and she knew maybe he had gone to the office and back or he was yet to go."Good morning." She mumbled and he turned his attention to her. "Good thing you are alive." he said with a blank look. "You took so much time in the bathroom, I had thought you had slipped knowing that you are a clumsy fellow." He mocked her. Selena bit her lip and tried to suppress the anger boiling inside of her. He didn't even ask her how she was doing. She gets that she is just a piece of trash he can throw away any time but at least he should show a little empathy for what she had gone through these few days. It was all because of him.

    The morning was quite chilly and there were few cars on the street's road. Creed continued to drive, occasionally glancing at Selena through the rare mirror. It looked like she had a lot going on in her mind. Different emotions playing on her face. Pretty much was going through her head."I heard you will be free in a few days, that's good news." Creed initiated a conversation. Selena gave him a small nod, "yeah.""I wonder what your plan is after that." He asked curiously. Selena glanced at him briefly before looking away. "I guess to make something out of my life. I have no one so it's just me now." Her voice was sad. When he heard those words, a lump formed in his throat, he wished he could be more to her. He could be though."You know you don't have to feel like you are alone now. You have got me at least. I'm your friend, remember?" Selena glanced at him and saw the sincerity in his eyes. Chuckling under her breath, she said "I know that but anyone relating to Robert Fin c

    For Selena, the journey has been the most silent one she has embarked in a while. She didn't ask for Robert to take her anywhere yet she couldn't protest because Robert Fin does whatever he wants. She has no say in whatsoever. She sighed for the umpteenth time and glanced at his side profile as he bent over flipping through some files. Sighing again, she looked away."Are we there yet?" Selena asked in frustration.He stopped abruptly, putting down his file and turned around to look at Selena with a raised brow.Taking a deep breath, she answered, "sorry, I didn't mean to-"Robert cut her short, "why are you apologizing?""I don't know. Maybe because each time you stare at me, you look creepy and scary." She mumbled and he chuckled in amusement. "I don't look creepy. You are the one assuming things." "Whatever, Robert." She huffed, crossing her arms over her chest."Don't you dare be such a bitch to me." He muttered and returned to the files. "Ungrateful fellow." He cursed.Sel

    "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

    "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

    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

    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

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.

    “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
