HENRY'S POV:I entered my room and smiled seeing my gorgeous wife laying there, with her eyes glued to her S-pad and Hailey’s crib just next to her. She looked so beautiful, she always did and every time I saw her, I just wanted to give her the world.She raised her eyes up meeting mine and smiled brightly, warming my heart instantly, “Good morning love.” I had nothing to worry about with my mum…no matter what she says, we will get through it. I said to myself trying to calm myself down from excessive worrying.I walked in front of her and stood in the middle of her legs, bending to give her a kiss on her forehead and she smiled wrapping her hands around my waist.“Are you okay?” She inquired, looking up and I nodded, touching her soft hair.“I am, and I have a beautiful day planned out for all three of you. A beautiful family day!” Her eyes instantly lit up at my enthusiasm.“Where are we going?” She inquired and I frowned looking at her in confusion.“When have I ever shared a plan
SELENA’S POV:THAT SAME DAY:“As much as I’m hit with problems, I feel more mature, stronger and wise enough to deal with them. I’ve also been blessed with the Scott family, they were friends with Mum and Dad, and I have learnt so much about my parents these past few years, it has been so transitioning and great.” I explained everything to my grandmother as I took a seat on the blanket, sipping out of the drink I had missed so much.With Henry pulling everything together, it reminded me how thoughtful and intentional he was as well as how much I really talked about my grandma. She was my everything and I had already apologized to her for not listening about David,“You were always right, he was nothing but abusive, horrible, manipulative and disgusting. Although your relationship strained with Sandra before you passed away, was there a possibility you could also feel how horrible she was? I’m just so sorry for not listening to you. It had always been a goal of mine to just have a mind
SELENA’S POV: I turned back, staring at the fruits I was longing for him to feed to me, and probably eat off of me because he was right when he had said earlier on that I would be pleasing him tonight. “Do you like it?” He asked, wrapping his arms around me and I smiled from ear to ear leaning into his soft embrace. “I love it…I’m not even going to ask how you got everything set up, but you have been so thoughtful and marvelous all day. You are amazing.” I giggled when he showered me kisses from my neck to my face. We took a seat and played around while Zoey sat with Hailey, Ace and Liv. “I know darn well those two aren’t using our child to imagine their future together.” Henry pointed out glancing at them, after feeding me some cherry looking at me intently. I simply giggled and called everyone together for the Onofoly game. It was a tradition to play during picnics or birthdays with the Scott’s. It involves dice, a game board, cards and occasional dares that weren’t too crazy.
SELENA’S POV: It was so hard for me not to just please him in the moment, kissing him passionately and running my hand through his body, and driving him crazy. In a span of a minute, I stood there debating and decided to have some type of self-control by looking away and sternly ordering him to put on his clothes. He instantly sucked his teeth and ran his hand through his hair asking, “She told you, didn’t she?” “Why didn’t you tell me?” I asked, staring at him intently and he heaved out a breath. “She just told me this afternoon when I called to check up on her after her text on having something important to share about you. I already planned out an amazing day and thought to tell you after, or don’t you think I defended you to her? I was furious just thinking about her snooping through your things, did Zoey tell you that?” I could tell this whole situation had him extremely mad and I was just hurt. “Loook, love, all she is worried about and though it doesn’t justify her act
3RD POV:“You’re right.” Selena agreed which made Liv smile, stretching out her hand.“I heard what happened and quite frankly, I don’t want to talk about it except if you want to.” She told her, holding onto her hand for a minute.“I don’t want to actually. I’m tired of it plus I’m sure everything will be alright… eventually.” Selena responded, placing her hand on top of hers.“It will!” Selena couldn’t help but smile just watching how radiating Liv was.“And let’s just say since this case will be over by tomorrow, hopefully. I have already drawn up the document and both David and his wife, Sandra, will be served as soon as my messenger gets my call.” Liv added and Selena shot her eyes up to Liv’s eyes so quickly in utter disbelief.“They are married?” Selena inquired, and Liv looked at her with uncertainty.“You didn’t know? You really haven’t been keeping up with them nor checking any news, have you?” Liv asked, and Selena shook her head.“Well, they have been for about two years,
A WEEK LATER:SELENA’S POV:“Oh My Goodness! Is that Selena?!” I heard as soon as I stepped out of the back seat of the fully tainted BMW placing Hailey in her stroller.It was a nice evening, and I decided to go over the city in exploration, pointing out all that was different and visit my parent’s grave. While at their grave, however, It had crossed my mind that although Olivia had been working closely with my family’s lawyer, Mr George, who had helped me at one of the toughest periods of my life, I had not even contacted him or his wife which was such a bad thing. I had imagined my grandmother smacking me softly by my back and sharing her disappointment. So soon after, I headed to one of the malls with over three security guards accompanying me by Henry’s instructions. I was so done trying to convince him I didn’t need this amount, I just thought about my daughter. If we were ever attacked because of insufficient security, I wouldn’t ever forgive myself so therefore, there were bu
SELENA’S POV:“I heard half of the companies are in bankruptcy because my boyfriend works at the accounting department of the group of hotels and says that there had been irregular transactions which causes him to believe there might be embezzlement of funds or money laundering, I can’t remember his exacts words but all I could recall was it was something illegal and since he handles account directly, he fears it might be pinned on him.” She explained, taking each and everyone of us by surprise and I blinked repeatedly dropping my silverware to the plate thereby drawing everyone’s attention to me.One of my fears…..And just a few seconds later while still trying to process all the nurses who seemed to be around my age or older had shared, I got a call accompanied by an urgent text from Henry.Please don’t be another piece of bad news.************AN HOUR LATER:After the dinner, Olivia and Henry were already out waiting for Hailey and I. Olivia picked up Hailey while Henry requeste
3RD POV:You have been an amazing wife for the past ten years we’ve been together and now we have a beautiful three year old. You know I didn’t tell you this before but when we first brought back Selena to our home, and she fell down from hands I could feel my heart, my heart stopping for a second, scared that I had been careless and killed our daughter but when she cried out loud, I’d never been more glad to hear her cry.You two are the light in my life, and I hope over the course of years, I have been able to show you two how much you two mean to me and I will not ruin our family in any way.Lastly, in the case that I don’t make it to the age of retirement with you, my love, please fill this house with all your love, tell Selena that I have loved her for the day she was born and tell our grandchildren, all about me in every single day, make sure Selena picks the right husband who loves her as much as I have loved you. He must be corny, successful, handsome and always willing to put
SELENA’S POV:He had on a blue shirt and the sleeves were rolled up and the two buttons rolled down, he stood next to Mr Gunnerside’s assistant, Jerald, who was at least around the same age bracket as the both of us and he had on black pants to match. His face instantly lit up as soon as he saw me and I forced a smile.Mr Gunnerside had some work to complete back home so he had sent his assistant. Sometimes I felt I was overworking him especially at his age but he didn’t seem to have any complaints with it. In fact, it served as an adventure for him and his beautiful wife.“Good afternoon.” I shook hands with him and he smiled, greeting me the same. Then I shook hands with Jerald who looked surprisingly anxious.“So are you ready for the tour?” He inquired and I looked straight ahead with a satisfied smile.“You look amazing by the way.” Joey whispered in my ears as we all walked into the building together with my assistant walking next to Jerald planning to take note of all the conv
SELENA’S POV:THREE DAYS LATER:After a very crazy day, days ago, Henry and I had been really occupied work and it was so bad that when I arrived back home, he was always passed out on the couch after waiting for me or I was the one falling asleep in the home office with the documents on my face while he would return home and carry me up to the room. Nanny Solidat had just told me how she watched with so much pride as Henry with his tired eyes carried me up the stairs and she had given him a thumbs up making him force a smile. It was insane that I had no idea all that was even happening.Today, Henry was meeting with a few shareholders who had heard of the complaint presented before the company about the e-waste and the investors as well as board members feared another lawsuit being brought before them. So today’s meeting was essentially to discuss them and there was an entire presentation on eco-friendly materials and an entire gadget that was created to serve as an example. Henry’s
SELENA’S POV:“How was your day, my love?” He asked in a soft yet deep tone which made my heart flip.“I just want to be in your arms and be held without putting my eyes on any document.” I told him and he couldn’t help but chuckle.“Are you ready for tonight?” I asked and he laughed, “I’m so ready to be entertained.”We both laughed and stayed together before FaceTiming Nanny Solidat to check up on our little angel just about ten minutes before arriving at the restaurant which also consisted of a five-star hotel.************A FEW MINUTES LATER:“Oh look at how bright they are smiling at us…” Henry whispered in my ears and I couldn’t help but cackle.Contrary to our expectation, the dinner was not served at the restaurant of the hotel which was at the ground floor but rather at the rooftop of the hotel. As soon as they arrived, the receptionist, who had been given clear instructions, called for our attention and announced that both Amber and Gavin Quinn were upstairs patiently waiti
SELENA’S POV:FEW WEEKS LATER:“I just want to go back on my vacation.” I whined to Olivia who was seated in front of me and she couldn’t help but laugh while sipping out of her drink.It had been a few weeks since after the short, blissful vacation at Morris Island and I think I had overheard Henry talking about purchasing it. It was a huge investment and it was a small island but perfect. Everything about it from atmosphere, to the meals, to the water, I was totally in love and I totally understood why Henry was so in love with it too. He saw the frown on my face when we were leaving, and he promised we would be back soon and hopefully longer but he didn’t mention any further thing about the buying of it. In the private jet, I had made a joke about being pregnant because of how we had sex in all corners of the house and the flashbacks of Henry covering my mouth, in order not to moan loudly and wake up Hailey, while sliding into me very slowly and other times roughly, played in mind
SELENA’S POV:THE NEXT MORNING:“Give Mummy a kiss.” I spoke to Hailey, who was simply clapping her hands together while I assisted the chef in the kitchen as he prepared a meal for us. Henry was still asleep due to jet lag and we had spent the first part of your short weekend getaway sleeping so well, and cuddling. However, this morning I was super excited to serve Henry in bed as my husband deserve nothing but the best because he was the best. Although I had not prepared the breakfast, I was there throughout the whole process making sure everything was perfect while also trying my best not to annoy the chef, Mr Rabbit, who already seemed irritated by my constant questions and monitoring eyes.“Muah…” Hailey kissed my cheek and it was honestly so cute especially with her little noises and words she often said. My daughter was so calm and gentle, I wondered if that was going to continue to be the case as she grew older since both Henry and I were both calm. Plus she kept growing cute
HENRY’S POV:THE NEXT DAY:I rocked Hailey as she was slowly drifting to sleep in my arms, and my beautiful Selena fell asleep with her head on my thigh, sleeping beautifully while we were up in the air flying back to Luresia where we both had a lot of work to do. Liv and Ace had taken Ace’s private jet contrary to my expectation that we were all going to travel back together. But it was beneficial to me either way, because now we were taking a quick stop at Moria Island. It was an island I had been trying to purchase for a while after my first visit before I met Selena…and now all I wanted to do more than ever was to put it in our family name or just in Selena’s. We were going to stay there till Sunday evening as it was just about a three hour flight from there to Luresia and we both had a stressful long month worrying about Carmeron and our safety. It was going to be a breath of fresh air and it was highly recommended by my mother who kept encouraging me after I suggested it to he
SELENA’S POV:“Cherry, the woman you are! The world is not ready for all the amazing designs you have installed. I'm so proud of you sister.” Liv announced standing proudly as sad admired Cherry who finally darted her eyes from the work in front of her for the first time and grinned.“I have an idea! We should take pictures and I will distribute it all over social media giving you great press. What do you think?” We all hummed in agreement with Gabby's suggestion and Cherry looked at us with our lips tucked out.“I appreciate you all so much! Now try your gown so we can prepare for this party!” She aaaaaatold her and the others grabbed their gowns and headed straight into the dressing room.“Do you really like it?” She inquired looking at me with uncertainty and I laughed going ahead to grab her hand.“I love it, I'm so used to boring outfits but this is different, and I am a Scott so I need to make a statement.” I stood proudly and walked around like a lioness and I flipped my hair.
SELENA’S POV:LATER THAT EVENING.After lunch with Joey, I headed to the family house where the party was to take place and I joined Liv, Cherry, Gabby, Zoey, in preparation of the welcome party for Carmeron who had gained speedy recovery. It amazed all of us and we were so happy. While we prepared, listening to music and telling stories, I thought to share with the girls my lunch with Joey and they all laughed arriving at the conclusion.“Yeah ... .I need a man who would be that intentional.” Zoey joked and we all shook our heads.“It’s giving obsession and does that really happen in real life? A man being obsessed with a girl, learning all her likes and dislikes, following her everywhere, trying to infiltrate her life and destroy her entire life just so she can be his? I’m not saying that’s what is going through his mind, just asking a question.” Gabby asked and Liv confirmed that there had to be a reality to it.“Some men just love to chase after what they can’t get because they lo
SELENA’S POV:A FEW HOURS LATER:I arrived at the restaurant at exactly noon and right before I exited out of the house, Henry was nowhere in sight when I left the house. Neither did he say anything after. I just hope I wouldn’t regret not listening to him, but it was important for him to know I couldn’t neither did I want to ever be controlled. I respected his opinion always but never a command. But I came with the entire security team for safety reasons as I wasn’t dumb enough to come all by myself.As soon as I arrived at the private section of the restaurant named, Trina’s love, I saw Joey sitting in a white t-shirt and his silver watch glimmered from a distance. His eyes were glued to his phone but he seemed to either be reading something or waiting for a message as I wasn’t texting, simply staring. He suddenly darted his eyes to mine and locked eyes with me and a huge smile appeared on his face. “You look breathtaking.” He complimented me as soon as I arrived at the table and I
