SELENA’S POV:

FEW MONTHS LATER:

“Get some rest, I will rock her back to bed.” Henry assured, tiredly rising up to his feet and switching off the lights I had switched on.

The past four months have been hectic, I had been breast feeding despite the other alternatives that were brought to me but this was my first time as a mum I had no complaints about doing all I needed to do even from having my child without an epidural. The way I had received compliments on being so strong, I started to feel extremely powerful, understanding the magnitude of the pain I had felt that day. I was just so grateful I had made it out healthy and whole, the after care from the nurses and doctors was honestly the best.

With our baby girl crying every night this past month and occasionally changing diapers, Mrs Scott has suggested we got a nanny especially because we both had a company to run but I felt it was too early despite the fact that she had even offered to pick a nanny, supervise and even do the work

She read through a textbook she had just purchased on success. She had grown so much that people failed to realize she wasn't even twenty five yet, and she loved and stared at herself with pride for how much she had grown.She glanced at the time on her wristwatch realizing she had been waiting for over twenty minutes now, but as soon as she looked up she smiled watching as they all walked in together, turning heads with their scent, amazing looks and confidence. Cherry, Gabby and Zoey, and she stood up and instantly embraced them one after another.“You all look so gorgeous! Hi…” She said as she let go of them, staring at one after the other.Selena had invited them for brunch, and since Julian needed to finalise a whole bunch of things with his team, so this wife decided to come.“I've missed you so muc

    3RD POV:“Yes ma'am. You got it.” They all chuckled softly at Selena's response and Gabby excused herself with a tight smile as her phone started ringing.Selena glanced at her and right back at the others and continued to have a nice brunch with her girls.***********LATER THAT NIGHT:With the suit at the company, Henry had been quite occupied and Hailey had either been with her grandparents since her parents resumed back to work or with their nanny who was also Henry's nanny. She had happily taken the job, as it filled her heart with joy to also take care of Henry's son. It felt like she was taking care of her grandchild.Selena had arrived about forty five minutes ago at around seven, and headed to the room seeing her baby girl watching cocomelon with a bright smile on her face. She kissed her forehead, took a shower and returned back to join her baby girl, clapping along with her baby.“It's time for the veggie dance…“ She sang with the cartoon and found herself amused by her act

  • Take My Husband, Let Me Marry Yours   A Decision

    SELENA’S POV:Before I reached the door, he commanded authoritatively, “Come here.” I turned around raising my eyebrow then snapped, “Why are you being mean to me? I’m trying to be here for you but you are just pushing me away like…like he did before he became abusive and I would rather leave now than for you to turn that way. Or before you decide to cheat.” I excused myself without waiting for his response and he still uttered the same words in a softer tone.“Come here, my love.” His deep yet soft voice uttering those words had goosebumps running through my arms. I reluctantly walked towards him and he pulled me to his lap, so I was now straddling him and his hands were holding my butt firmly. His eyes were glued to mine and the eye contact was so intense, I had to pull back but also I was longing for some affection from him.“I’m sorry, baby, you didn’t deserve that. I’ve just been so frustrated and the last time there was an issue like this, I was alone. You know? I had my fami

  • Take My Husband, Let Me Marry Yours   Going Back

    SELENA'S POV:AN HOUR LATER:“I will come with you, you shouldn't face that man alone.” My smile grew wide as he uttered those words.“BUT….” My face fell as he added that. Of course, there was a ‘but’. “But I won't be coming now, nor is it advisable to take Hailey with you without the support she needs.” I looked at him taken aback by his words. Thinking about it now, we never really discussed about Hailey coming along with me. I had just said it and he neither object nor approved. I frowned, questioning with a huge attitude, “What do you mean by that? I can't take my child without everyone's presence, is that what you're insinuating, Henry?” The limousine was not completely silent and I could feel everyone's look on me, but my eyes were glued to the man in front of me, arms folded and anticipating a response. He let out a breath and responded, “That's not what I'm saying, love, you are an amazing mother but think about everything you need to settle there. What time would you be

  • Take My Husband, Let Me Marry Yours   Meeting An Old Friend

    SELENA'S POV:FEW HOURS LATER:“I actually vividly remember someone always slipping letters to your bag and locker.” Joey confirmed my thought and we both laughed out, reminiscing as we sat next to each other surprisingly in the first class section or the plane.While at the lounge, I remembered him fully and the memories of the two of us back in middle school flashed through my memory. We had been friends in a way, I loved being alone before Sandra came along but he was always that one person who put in effort to become friends with you. He always stayed to himself as well, but I guess since I was just as to myself as he was, I attracted him to me. I had not even recalled him being so funny.Reminiscing about times where I got a very cute love letter from a secret admirer every single day flashed through my mind and he brought it up, which made us both laugh hard. It was a cute gesture but feeling up your locker and bag had gotten quite excessive.Staring at Joey, He was just as cute

  • Take My Husband, Let Me Marry Yours   I Love You

    HENRY’S POV:A FEW HOURS LATER.We arrived at one of the mansions my parents had purchased a long time ago. They had instilled in Liv and I the importance of having properties all over the world. It was a two-storey glass house coated in white paint, having about four rooms, a dining area, a pool in the backyard with chairs to relax in, and a furnished kitchen.As soon as we arrived, the two news cars I had purchased had already arrived, a Lamborghini and BMW all in white and black. Selena smiled when she saw it, she was no longer surprised by my lavish spending on cars. I had read online that men often give their wives gifts after giving birth, majorly a car. So I had framed a picture I had taken of her at the hospital with Hailey when she was just born as well as a black Bentley with interiors of one of her favorite colors, purple. She was so in love with it and so appreciative, but I knew she was more in love with the framed picture. The women in my life loved luxurious gifts but

Selena and I woke up, freshened up and met everyone downstairs preparing for dinner.The television was switched on to the news channel, Hailey was watching Gracie’s show next to me and Selena was talking to me about the different areas in the country.I chuckled and she smiled asking, “What?”“You know this is my first time here and I’m just thinking about the lady who claimed I was coming like some sort of prince to marry her.” We both laughed boisterously at that and Hailey joined along with us.“You know Daddy is the funniest person ever, don’t you?” I tickled Hailey and she continued giggling, making both Selena and I smile.Our moment was interrupted when Liv came out of the one of the rooms which was initially a study, she had declared was the home office.“Selena, can we talk for a minute here?”

    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: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

  • Take My Husband, Let Me Marry Yours   When The Heart Stops

    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

    HENRY'S POV:“My parents as well as Zoey and her boyfriend are currently at the mansion resting. 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

  • Take My Husband, Let Me Marry Yours   Home in Her Arms

    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

    3RD POV:“So I’d appreciate a nice new dress and those bags you get your wife in pink preferably. Have an amazing afternoon, I’m clocking out and the other maids are all coming in soon.” David scoffed as she walked off changing her walking step to only entice him further and he was surprised but he loved a good challenge and Unnie was a real beautiful girl.Soon after she walked out the doors, Sandra stepped in and David’s mood grew sour. 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

    SELENA’S POV:“I tried, I made efforts, I called everyday but our meetings at the park ended, his calls stopped and on the night he died, when he was shot by the police officers when he had kidnapped another girl, I had a dream where he screamed my name and just kept crying and apologizing. 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

    SELENA’S POV:A FEW DAYS LATER:“I totally apologize for calling and instantly giving you instructions, but I thought you need to see it.” After watching the news and hanging up the call, the same number called again. 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.
