Love And Revenge

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 belongings away and keep your cars from you?l” I didn’t know if he was judging me but I knew by the look on his face and his tone that he was getting angrier as he asked the questions.

I pursed my lips and nodded, thereby making him drop his silverware to the plate. 

“That lowlife! This is how people who come from the gutter and get refined and treated well at an old age behave. They think people from wealth owe them something when in reality, no one owes anyone anything. Our parents, your parents worked for everything they own and I will not let any scumbag have that and try to make you feel bad for that!” Henry said that with certainty and it was then I was just processing everything.

There were times David would come back tired and when I would try to calm him down he would make comments like, “how would you know when you’ve never worked for anything in your life” he would make me feel like my opinion never matter in anywhere because he believed I’d never had real problems but I had lost everyone who was family. He also had not worked for anything and he was just handed my company! Thinking about everything made me so angry, pathetic and sad at the same time. 

Was it really even love I felt for him or the need for someone?

“So I’m going to help you, I’m going to make sure you get your company and every single thing you gave them back. Every single thing!” He said to me as he took a bite out of his pasta and cleaned his mouth with a napkin.

I looked at him shocked and he added, “I’m also going to make sure you get revenge for those two humiliating you and their deceit, you truly did love them and they didn’t deserve you.” 

He leaned back in his seat after speaking with so much authority and sincerity, he looked genuinely so attractive as he spoke.

I cleared my throat, rubbing my glossy pink lips together, “Thank you but how?”

“How what?” He smirked, and I rolled my eyes at the shift in his mood. “To get your revenge and to help you in getting every single thing back,……” He trailed off as if there was an inaudible drum roll waiting for him to finish speaking. “We are going to have to get married.” He suggested but not in a suggestive tone, it was like a ritual that had to take place and I couldn’t help but look at him with wide eyes.

Married? He wanted to marry me?

But it would definitely work, he was wealthy and his family were the most wealthy and elite family in the whole country, I ought to have known Sandra was lying. How could she have had access to him or any of his relatives? He seemed like a good person and our marriage was only transactional in a way. 

“Are you sure? Don’t you have a girlfriend or something? You are way too…” I trailed off, closing my eyes tightly as I nervously spoke and he chuckled, smirking cockily.

“Handsome? I know that and you are way too beautiful as well, so when do you suggest we get married, tomorrow and tonight? I can set it up for 9.” I looked at him with shock then everything Sandra and David did to me played like a short clip in a movie.

“Let's get married tonight.” He nodded and picked up his phone while I felt adrenaline pumping through my veins.

“Let’s do this!” He made some calls and he got it set up.

Hey Look at me, I’m getting married again!

*************

TWO HOURS LATER:

In two hours, I was already in a beautiful white gown and he got me the best hairstylist and make-up artist and they all got me prepared and I honestly felt so beautiful especially with all the compliments from the stylist. 

A beautiful lady dressed in a black skirt along with a white shirt as well as a black suit jacket, stepped in with a birkin bag and her sweet strawberry scent enveloped the whole room. Her face was blank but she had the same facial features with Henry as well as her brown  hair colour, letting me know they were related and as soon as she stepped into the room, everyone else left. 

“I thought this was a joke. Hello Selena, I’m Olivia, Henry’s sister.” She stretched out her hand and I smiled, shaking her hand.

“You are so beautiful, and I can’t believe I’m standing before The Selena Brown. I've heard so much about you and your family, it’s an honor and now you are getting married to my brother, what an eventful day I’ve had.” We both laughed as we were trying to process it all.

“Trust I never thought I’d be ending my day getting married.” I shared with her and she chuckled.

“Well, welcome to the Scott family. We’re sisters now!” And I knew she meant that.

She proceeded to escort me out and walked me down the aisle in the same church, and here I was about to marry that handsome hunk down the aisle. We both stared at each other, paying no mind to anyone else in the room.

“Do you take Henry Scott, to be your lawfully wedded husband to love him in sickness and in health, till death do you part?” I was asked after Henry had proudly said ‘yes’.

I looked at him for a moment, and I could only hope I wasn’t getting another abusive, manipulative, cheating man even if it was only for a short period of time, I imagined and just for revengeful purposes. 

I would at least beg for a friend please lord.

“I do.” I heaved a sigh and he smiled.

Everything seemed like a vegas wedding, spontaneous, not thought out, having little to no people around, wearing anything except we dressed perfectly for the occasion.

It was amusing yet beautiful.

We shared a kiss and it was different from another kiss I had shared with a man, I felt a spark and by the look in his eyes, he felt it too
