2025-01-18 16:49:22SELENA’S POV:
THAT SAME EVENING: “You know it’s weird to just watch naked people. We will be ready for all your questions downstairs. So….Get out.” Sandra snapped and pushed me out of the room. So I walked downstairs almost falling, because my eyes were blurred with tears and I could feel physical pain in my chest. How could they do this to me? Was this how bad betrayal felt? After a few minutes, they walked down stairs hurting me even more as they shared a kiss and walked hand in hand, wearing one of the cute brown matching pajamas I had gotten for David and I. David wore the pants and Sandra had on the shirt which stopped mid thigh. “How long has this been going on?” I coughed out with my voice extremely low as they took a seat, Sandra placing her legs on David’s thigh. “For a while now. Even before I introduced you two, we’ve been having a whole lot of amazing sex everywhere. We might or might not have had sex in your matrimonial bed while you were mourning your annoying grandma.” Sandra responded proudly, and David continued rubbing her feet, staring at me with a stupid smirk on his face. “You two are kidding right? This is a bad joke? You wouldn’t do this to me, you two wouldn’t hurt me like this.” My voice cracked and I looked into David’s eyes literally pleading. “A few months ago in this beautiful, romantic house, we conceived a beautiful baby which is now growing in my lady’s belly. There are no jokes here, love.” David finally spoke, crushing me further as he rubbed her belly and Sandra grinned looking at me. “IN MY FATHER’S HOUSE?” I found myself yelling and David stood up laughing boisterously. “Selena, you must have forgotten I own this, and everything else you think you own! Remember you signed everything to me because you loved me so much, I own it all, your father’s company, your parents home. EVERYTHING BELONGS ME!” He used his pointing finger to push me back, disrespectfully and Sandra giggled. “Lord, this is so hilarious. We often joke about how you keep telling me everything is perfect in your marriage while he tells me how he’s not only disgusted by you, but how much pleasure he derives from letting you know who’s boss and putting you in your place every time you think you have an opinion. I’m just so happy the cat is out of the bag, I was honestly so sick of you.” Sandra laughed, picking up her phone. David chuckled, adding, “I feel the exact same way!” Going to bring something, a paper that I didn't notice in one of the chairs. He gave it to me and I saw it was a divorce paper and I looked at it for a minute before looking at them. “After everything I’ve done for you two, this is how you repay me?” I wiped my tears and inhaled sharply. “I have only shown you two nothing but love! I centered my entire life around you two and gave you everything I had.” I sobbed and heard Sandra mumble with her eyes still glued to her phone , ‘You bet you did.’ They didn’t even care about how much they were hurting me, I was so confused on what I could have possibly done for them to treat me this way and hurt me. Rage and betrayal fueled me, so I pushed past David and latched onto Sandra pulling her by the hair. “You were like a sister to me! I trusted you with everything and gave you everything!” I screamed with the pain in my soul and Sandra screamed in pain while David grabbed me roughly, pulling me away from her not before I ripped out a part of her. Was that an extension or her real hair? But her loud wail let me know otherwise. I couldn’t even process everything because the next thing I knew, I was met with a familiar hit on my cheek and he was now dragging me out of the house by my hair which was in a ponytail, through the cold tiled floor and when we got out he didn’t stop despite my pleadings, he dragged me through the concrete ground until I was out of the gated compound. And with that he held one of my hands roughly and signed my own signature on the divorce paper I had flung away when I attacked Sandra. I know I was pathetic, I had taught him my own signature. I was blinded by my love for him. “DAVID!!” I shouted, feeling burns all around my body as he turned around to head back inside waving the divorce papers in the air. “Don’t even think of coming to wherever I am, to the house because I WILL call the police and you will be jailed for trespassing. Nothing anywhere belongs to you, they are all mine including this coat on you.” He yelled and returned just to take off my coat, ignoring how hard I was biting his leg. “Stupid thing!” He winced kicking me like a dog after roughly taking the coat off of me “You are never going to be anything or amount to anything, how does it feel knowing your grandma was right about me all along?” He laughed and my jaw was hurting from his affliction and my crying. “You know what? I’m certain in a matter of days, you are going to die and I can’t wait to get called to identify your body and play the widower. Goodbye, Selena. Thanks for the wealth and making my greatest wish of putting a rich girl in her place come to light. See what the gutter feels like!” He shut the gate and I wailed. “David….David…” I cried lowly, trying my best to rise up and speak loudly but I was drained…too mentally and physically drained, so I fell asleep like a street dog in front of the gates near the beach. Before I had dozed off, David’s words hunted me. If I couldn't go back to the house, where could I go? Would I continue sleeping on the road here, begging the two people who had betrayed me for food, shelter and clothing? What am I going to do? However, I couldn’t tell how long I had been on the floor in my short dress when I heard my phone ringing loudly but it had jolted me up and interrupted the unexplainable dream I had. Wasn’t my phone in my coat? Thankfully he didn't take my phone away. I sat up seeing my phone on the floor next to me and a number I hadn’t seen in a longtime. I hastily picked it up and cleared my throat but before I could speak, he interrupted. “Happy 21st birthday beautiful Selena! Sorry it had taken me so long to call you in a while, I do have a surprise for you!” Our family lawyer spoke cheerfully and it was then I recalled, it was really my birthday and I had been so preoccupied with the two who betrayed to even recall. This call however changed my predicament and it could be thanks to the three people— my mum, dad and grandma, I had seen in my dream, waving at me.

SELENA’S POV:A FEW HOURS LATER:“I am still appalled that someone like her dared to say I proposed to her and got her pregnant. She couldn’t even come close before my presence even if she wanted to. I am both amused and annoyed, so your husband impregnated her?” He raised his eyebrow questioning, drinking out of his glass of wine with his brown eyes staring directly at me.We were currently at a beautiful restaurant named Levers, and Henry had reserved for about two hours leaving us alone in here along with a waitress who only came near when she was beckoned. I honestly felt truly calm and relaxed and their food was amazing but Henry’s curiosity had me ranting and pouring out all my feelings. It was something I didn’t know I needed.“Yes, he did.” I answered, swallowing my food and Henry shook his head and scoffed, looking from his food back to me.“After you signed off all your parent’s property and company and all to him and to that Sandra? He dared to burn and throw your belonging

SELENA'S POV:SIX MONTHS LATER:“Good morning!” I announced my presence as I stepped into the kitchen, meeting Henry in a singlet and some fitted black suit trousers, looking as hot as the meal he was preparing for us.These past six months have been amazing, stressful, and heart wrecking for a variety of reasons. It was super stressful, settling into the mansion Mr Havin Scott, Henry's father, had gifted to us though I was yet to meet him. It was such a dream home for every single person who dreamt of having kids and a partner, the gardens, about eight bedrooms, parking lots, a swimming pool. I loved how serene and beautiful the entire mansion was.It was amazing because I felt a friendship developing between Henry and I, we talked about work and literally everything and anything. He prepared breakfast every morning and apparently he cooked so well. He was also extremely strict and mean to other people but he was like a marshmallow to me. Most importantly, he never hesitated to boos

SELENA'S POV: THAT NIGHT: “Why didn't we first stop by the house to change? I'm so tired and I bet everyone can see how exhausted I am through my eyes and this cloth I have on. I look like a mess.” I complained to Henry as the GPS announced we were five minutes away. “I've seen people looking a mess and trust me, you look nothing like that, you look amazing, smell so good and look like the most sexy CEO I have ever laid my eyes on.” A fuzzy feeling spread across my chest at the sound of that and my cheeks might have turned a shade of pink seeing the sincerity in his eyes. “Plus the truth is, we are running a bit late and my mum might have called a couple of times but Olivia assured me she was running late as well and my mum totally understands.” He informed me and I glanced at the time seeing it was already fifteen minutes after, both our meetings had run longer than we had expected. I hate being late so bad. I wanted to ask why Olivia didn't just come with him since she works in

Especially during the weekend!” I appreciated as I concluded the video call in my home office with one of the young personnels in the marketing team.He was nice and nerdy in his late twenties, and extremely knowledgeable. He had a whole lot of great ideas, him and many others who were trying so hard to impress me in order to replace Mrs Karen’s position. We were closely together because I had picked one of his ideas for the store which was almost to be closed.I heaved out a breath adjusting the pearls on my neck, listening to the soft music playing outside the room, shutting my laptop as I mentally prepared myself to get out of this beautifully designed room requested by my husband.Today was a surprise housewarming party, planned by Henry, after much persuasion by his family members. He had invited business associates, close friends, and old family members. According to what he had shared, this w

Cherry had travelled to Yester, a city in another country about eight hours in a plane from here and it was quite amazing. I had stopped by to visit her about two months ago. A year ago, she had decided to quit being ‘childish’ and get a job, complete her degree. She headed to the University of Yester, one of the top schools in the world to complete her degree in fashion and we celebrated when she completed it last month, getting her different gifts and Mrs Scott threw a whole party inviting family, friends and Cherry’s fellow graduate.Cherry and I had grown a bond for different reasons but she had highlighted that by deciding to get a d

After we proceeded to play volleyball, the men versus the women.“If we win, we all get a dance show from you all at the bonfire tonight.” Carmeron suggested it before we started and we chuckled.“If we win, we get the same except you all must wear a wig.” Cherry stretched out her hand to seal the deal and Gabby and I giggled while Henry smiled winking at me.The game began with a whole lot of cheating from both sides with the guys literally picking us up at some point and I laughed so much, my jaw hurt. We ended up winning and we did get our dance from grown men wearing different colors and types of wigs, dancing and shaking their butts in our faces. We cheered and I heard Ashley chuckle and say, “Wow, I had no idea billionaires had this type of fun.” I laughed knowing every other day of the week, we were dressed in suits and corporate gowns or a jersey working too h

When Henry and Julian had gone to meet the doctor a week ago, he didn’t sound hopeful which broke everyone. Carmeron’s parents flew in that day and balled into tears, crying miserably especially his mother who was advanced in age. It was such a heartbreaking sight, and Henry was so lost. Later that night, Henry had shared the story of when he realized Carmeron was going to be around for a while, and it went thus. Flashback:I can’t remember much but I know I was about four or five and I usually attended my parent’s events, especially the ones thrown at the mansion then. I remember quite vividly there were people everywhere except the staircase, everyone mingling and drinking, and in celebration laughing boisterously. I took a seat by the piano, since my parents had ensured that I had gotten lessons an

HENRY’S POV:A FEW HOURS LATER:We all arrived at the hospital, but my parents had opted to stay with Hailey and take her out as well as my godson, Ryan, believing my little girl and Ryan were feeling the tension and fear we were all feeling which wasn’t good. Liv had entered the room earlier and she had shared a recent progress with their case.“So the judge has finally arrived at a decision and my partner would be representing me on my behalf. By tonight, we should already be informed and we are either celebrating or drafting an appeal.” Liv told Selena, sounding excited like she was sure it was going to be good. Selena was the opposite, she simply nodded and they both headed out together speaking quietly about something that had to do with therapy and when I asked, Liv had instructed me to mind my business.Was something going wrong in Selena’s therapy? Had I done something to make her feel she couldn’t share it with me? Wasn’t my wife my business? When I asked Selena after she re

You should rest before heading to the hospital.” I told Selena and she hummed, which let me know she was jetlagged as she always was.She leaned on my shoulder and asked, “Anything new on Carmeron?” I quietly shook my head, and she intertwined our fingers together, “By shielding Cherry, he had gotten more cuts from the crash. Some glasses ended up being deeper than the other and more severe, piercing at different sides. And there was a hit to his head, doctors say it's a miracle he's alive, however, they would be observing more to check his brain activity if there would be any brain activity or not.” I shared and I could feel her holding onto me tightly.“He protected her with his life and I stopped speaking to him in fear he would hurt her. He is literally between life and death and there's nothing I can do, Cherry is not even speaking to me. This has to be the worst few days, and you do

3RD POV:Sandra’s eyes glinted with a mixture of calculation and frustration. "I think the first thing we need to do is make sure we don’t make the same mistakes again," she said. "We need to think ahead, not just react. The press, the judges—everything is about perception. If we can control that, maybe we stand a chance."David nodded slowly, his mind working in overdrive. "And the money?" he asked, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper as he leaned closer to Sandra, eyes scanning the room as if waiting for someone to overhear them. "We can’t afford to leave it all up to chance. The assets, the properties, the companies—all of it needs to be moved, hidden. If the court doesn’t rule in our favor, everything we've built is gone."Sandra’s lips curled into a tight smile, her thoughts mirroring his. "I’ve already set some things in motion. We’ll move the most valuable assets into accounts overseas. That way, even if they try to seize everything, it won’t be enough." Her voice wa

He rose to his feet excited to see his son, as he had not seen him in the past two days. “My favorite child.” He announced and grabbed his son who unlike other times he picked up and threw him in the hair and he would laugh, this time as soon as he touched his son, he cried loudly screaming as well.“Stop crying, little man. What’s going on?” David instantly inquired with concern and Sandra shrugged, taking him away from him.“I don’t know…maybe he’s growing to hate you.” She pointed out, and David was taken aback, assuming he hadn’t heard Sandra cl

And the next morning, I heard it on the news, and his father literally committed suicide after his burial, it was a lot.” My heart broke for her and I went ahead to hug her which made her chuckle.“I’m alright now, I just shared that to tell you I always know when something bad has happened to anyone close to me, I’m just going to be aware of the other world.” She shared and for some reason I felt really calm after that yet disturbed by the little boys who at such a young age are already involved with such crimes and all those girls and the trauma they lived through.They didn’t deserve that neither did boys like Tim who through the influence of their boss lost their lives.I stretched my leg and f

I sucked my teeth and instantly snapped shouting, “What the hell do you want?” And it was accompanied by a low voice introducing himself as Joey and an apology from him. I let out a breath and held my forehead, taking a seat, “Hello Joey.” I simply said still trying to calm myself down, by doing a breathing exercise.“You seem tense, and I’m certain it’s not because of this news. Or am I wrong? Are you okay?” He asked softly and his voice was so low and full of care, it felt like he was here and I could just talk to him.“I’m not but I am certain everything will be fine.” I shared, reassuring not him but myself and I could hear him hum. “I’m sure it will be.” He reaffirmed and I nodded about to bid him farewell.However just as I was just about to, he said, “Will you

SELENA’S POV:I picked up my phone noticing that about ten minutes ago, Gabby had sent me a picture of the four of them at a restaurant, adding ‘I wish you two were here.” “They were just with Gabby and Julian. I’m going to call and ask if they are with them.” I said all at once and he nodded slowly, while Henry picked up his phone talking to someone on the other line.He paced back and forth and I sat at the edge of the chair, calling both Julian and Gabby back and forth and they both didn’t pick until I called Gabby once more.“Hey Selena!” She excitedly called out and I let out a breath, in relief as I was starting to fear the worse.“Gabby! Where are you? Are you with Cherry and Carm?” I asked, overhearing Henry behind already booking a flight to Resiph tonight.“Girl, we had some drinks, this Lorean alcohol and I can’t lie,….we were pretty wasted.” She laughed and I was about to speak, she continued talking, ”Carm and Cherry got carried into their cars because Carm went out shou

3RD POV:MEANWHILE…Back in Resiph, Cherry and Carmeron as well as Gabby and Julian had gone out for some drinks as well as dinner at some Lorean restaurant, they had noodles, steak, rice, variety as well as some traditional beer they had never seen before nor had before. So they all took a glass and they all winced together in unison.“That’s strong as well. Cherry just might have been drunk from just that shot.” Julian teased and Cherry shot him the middle finger.“As a matter of fact, why aren’t people here?” Julian asked, looking around wondering why the place was so empty. It was in the middle of the city and Gabby who had been invited to try it out, about being offered over fifteen million and free food, she thought it would be fun to go with her family and to take a picture after.“Aside from the fact that it’s rented out, the steak alone as well as the other meals is overpriced to the average person and a wealthy man who has more important things to pay for.
