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
SELENA’S POV:A WEEK LATER:It had been approximately a week since Carmeron had gone between life and death, and we had received a call yesterday announcing that he was finally awake. 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
SELENA’S POV:THAT SAME DAY:“I’m so sorry…I’m late.” I rushed into the room where everyone else was seated next to Carmeron. Henry stood by the entrance while Cherry was laying beside him, Liv was seated with Julian and Gabby and everyone had a look of smile on their faces. It was so fulfilling and it seemed as though Carmeron, just like Cherry, had cracked a joke before my arrival. “Selena!” Carmeron and Cherry chorused in excitement as soon as I stepped into the room and it brought a big smile to my face seeing Carmeron awake through the heart monitor kept beeping keeping in check his steady heart movement, he still had on badges around his head and he looked a little bit pale.“Carmeron.” I walked towards him and embraced him, and he winced loudly, making me step back.“I’m sorry.” I quickly apologized and he chuckled softly, holding his side and waving me off. I watched with a smile as Cherry offered him her hand as he tried getting comfy in his bed.“This bed is so uncomforta
SELENA’S POV:A WEEK LATER:As I stood at the balcony of the house with the cup of coffee in my hands with only a white robe on, as I had just taken a shower after the steamy evening Henry and I shared last night. My hair was let down curly and wavy as always and I loved how good I smelt like strawberry and candies. I believed I could see the entire city from where I stood, and I was amazed at its beauty but my mind couldn’t help but drift back to my conversation with Joey the other day.“Joey….what are you…” I stammered as I stood in my office like it wasn’t mine and he smiled staring at me.“I knew we would see soon and I’m glad all my efforts and the stern yet bossy words I tolerate from your employees are all to please you. It makes it all worth it, don’t you think?” He inquired, with hands still stretched out and I stared at him from head to toe unsure of what to say.So I shook hands with him firmly and he cackled, holding my hands longer than I wanted and so I raised my eyebro
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
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:“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.
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: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
