SELENA'S POV:“Can we go out for dinner later, David? Things have been different between us and I miss spending quality time with you.” I told him softly, standing behind him as he stared at himself in the mirror fixing up his tie, getting ready for work.He chuckled softly, “Why do you always do this, Selena?”“Do what? Try to spend time with my husband?” I asked, stepping back in fear that my simple request was aggravating him.David turned around, staring deep into my blue eyes and clenched and unclenched his jaw. It seemed everything I needed lately irritated him to the core and he was literally just the meanest person to me these past few weeks. He had changed like a switch and I still couldn't believe that was him, it was so absurd.“Really? Is that all this is about? Or is this your way of monitoring me and the company?” He asked folding his arms across his chest, and I furrowed my eyebrow looking at him with hurt.“David, you know I trust you with everything, my life and all I
SELENA'S POV:A MONTH LATER:“I have something to tell you…..I'm pregnant which is why Henry and I are getting married in such a short period of time.”It had been a month since Sandra had revealed this to me and I had assured her that I was right here to support her. We were both young and totally in love and had each other's support and it was so amazing. It had been a whole week since I had seen Sandra and about three days since I had seen my husband. David had travelled for a business trip and he had failed to disclose where the business trip was situated nor how long he would be gone for.It wasn't strange since the last time we saw wasn't exactly a peaceful moment. I had complained about him coming home late these past few days and never being around as well as occasionally coming back tipsy, and he got extremely mad, which explains the bruises on my arm and hand print on my rosy cheeks, but it was nothing a good make up couldn't hide.Plus it was my fault, I was the one naggin
SELENA’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.
SELENA'S POV:A FEW WEEKS LATER:“We are here Miss Selena.” The chauffeur announced, finally making me aware of my surroundings.It had been about two weeks since I had been heartbroken, divorced and I lost everything, and two weeks since I turned twenty-one. It was worth reckoning because that night, my family's lawyer, Mr George, who had been our lawyer since I was a kid informed me that in the multitude of properties, companies, money, that my parents had left for me, my grandmother and parents had still set up a trust fund for me.And that was his surprise for me.As soon as I told him what had gone on between David and I, he had sent cars to pick me up and during those few days, he and his wife, Miss Daisy, had been so good to me, they never scolded me but I have learned a great lesson. We finalized the documents and I received everything secured for me in the trust fund, deeds to property and one of my mother's company, as well as a handsome amount of money.They were all locate
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
SELENA’S POV:A FEW DAYS LATER….“Thank you so much for putting me through this, Will. 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
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
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: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: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
