SELENA’S POV:“Oh…and this must be the great husband.” David stared at him from head to toe and so did Sandra. They were analyzing him and I didn’t even care anymore. I was puzzled but I knew even from way earlier that it couldn’t be either of them, they were too frugal to spend that amount of money on their enemies just to cause trouble or to taunt.Henry gave me a kiss on my forehead and I took in his sweet strong scent and he glanced back at them and David took upon himself and introduced himself to Henry, “Her ex-husband and proudly your future business partner if we can put this aside.”“I doubt it partner because I doubt you would even own a company in the nearest future.” Henry pointed out and I giggled, leaning into his embrace on the lower part of my back.David excused himself to answer a call and we were about to leave when Sandra pointed out saying, “You really married the man of my dreams and you think things will just go smoothly, don’t you? I’d just take him away from y
3RD POV:About an hour later, due to traffic and distance, she finally arrived back at the mansion and gracefully got out of the car. Everyone was already waiting for her, so as soon as she opened the door, they all chorused, “Happy birthday.” Rather the usual yelling of the word, Surprise. Confetti popped and it spread throughout the room, and she grinned in total awe, noticing everyone was there, from Henry’s father to her assistant. Everywhere was designed with a big banner that read Happy birthday Queen. She saw a fountain of chocolate, a bar with drinks, about six huge layers of cake, everyone dressed nicely and looking so handsome and beautiful even her baby girl. She was totally in love and all she could do was stand there and sniffle.“Thank you so much.” She stuck out her bottom lip, feeling tears brimming her eyes, also noticing the table with gifts on top one another and some even on the floor.Everyone walked towards her and hugged her one after the other and when it got
SELENA’S POV:A WEEK LATER:“Good morning.” I heard as soon as I opened my eyes and I stretched taking in the bright rising sun. It was another day, another morning to get up the bed and do something productive despite the fact that all I wanted to do was lay in bed and watch a movie with Hailey but that couldn’t work because I had so much work to do. Last night, my assistant had run down all I needed to do. There were about three virtual meetings I had to attend and at least two were very vital for For Monica stores, one with the bank and Mrs Yolanda as well as with the board members who had a long list of concerns I and a few others had to listen to and provide solutions. I sat up straight, glancing at the time by my bed stand and it dawned on me that I only had an hour and a half before my first meeting by 9 a.m.I shot up so quickly and smiled seeing Henry just seated up straight resting on the head board with a book in his hands but his eyes were fixated on me.“Good morning.”
SELENA’S POV:A FEW HOURS LATER:“I can’t wait till you are all grown up and I can watch you run around after school or just a regular day. But I love how cute you are and I love you so much. Maybe in a few years, we might just give you a brother or sister.” I told Hailey as we strolled through the City Park for a picnic for just the two of us.After my meetings, I decided I want to do something with my princess. She was in her stroller, playing with her toy and smiling so cutely I had to take a picture. About three security officers were littered around the premises of the park, to spring into action at any given moment. I stretched out my legs taking a seat by the bench and glanced at the time seeing it was about twenty minutes after five, and the entire park was full of kids running around in some cute wears, with their nannies dressed in their white wears, parents in their corporate fits while some parents were giving their toddlers their attention, some others were trying their
SELENA’S POV:“Do you think Mummy is just going crazy or was she truly the person who sent Mummy all those gifts?” I asked Hailey, as she sucked out of the grape I was feeding to her.I stuffed my mouth with grape as well as I thought and looking around, the lady had disappeared.Amber Quinn….*************A FEW HOURS LATER:It had been about two hours and a half since I met Amber Quinn and she had already texted me. While I dressed up for dinner we were having with Ace, just trying to get to know him and find out what he wanted to talk to Henry about, I wanted to talk to Henry about what had transpired at the park, how I felt about that woman and my new plan for a charity or foundation, and most importantly, Amber Quinn. However, Henry returned back from his meeting later than expected and it was just as Ace and I took a seat making awkward small talks, that Henry finally arrived.“I’m so sorry. I’m late.” He kissed me on her cheek abruptly, and I caught a whiff of an expensive fema
OLIVIA’S POV:THE NEXT DAY:It was about two hours before the proceeding, so I decided it would be nice to hang out with Selena as I had missed her though it had just been a few days since we had last seen each other. We took our seats in this cute outdoor restaurant called Lily’s and were sipping out of our fruit juice. It was a bright yet warm day, and just as the name of the restaurant, everywhere smelt like lilies and sweet.Selena was dressed in a white dress which stopped mid thigh with a chiseled neck and her wavy hair was packed up in a high ponytail. Her make up was light as usual, and she looked pretty and the fact that as she sat before me ranting, I couldn’t help but laugh so hard my tummy hurt. We talked about her day at the park, meeting Amber Quinn who had shot a text about wanting to meet later this evening or tomorrow evening as a double date and Selena had no idea on how to respond to her.“So after he says ‘what?’ again, I’m about to just send him out of the room or
OLIVIA’S POV:“Alright…How about I help you look for and discuss with your assistant about adding two hours free time to your schedule even if it’s the evenings after office hours.” She suggested with her eyes hopefully and I stared at her with teary eyes.“Therapy helped me with my trust issues and I’m still working on it, so if I can work on my issues you can do the same.” She told me confidently and I blinked repeatedly, taking my hands away from her warm hold to grab a tissue to clean under my eyes.“How did we get so deep so fast?” We both chuckled and continued eating our food quietly.We were both in our thoughts when I decided to break it by asking, “Did he mention the lady’s name?” “I think it was Grace or something…” The irritation on her face was so amusing but the name did ring a bell.“Tonia was what everyone referred to her as back in high school…did you find her social media pages or anything?” I inquired, striking up unnecessary digging and Selena shook her head.“I h
SELENA’S POV:THAT EVENING:I mentally screamed a loud ‘Yayyy’, and my heart skipped a beat like the first time I met him because he looked at me with those same eyes from that day like he was in marvel but this time he wasn’t just in marvel but in love and it screamed through that look in his eyes.I grinned from ear to ear and instantly held his hand closer to me and I mentioned, “I love you so so much and you look so handsome.”“I love you too, but I’m going to make something clear right now and don’t you ever forget it.” He turned to the side, making sure I stared into his eyes by how he used his finger to raise my chin,“You’re the most important person in my life, you and Hailey and I love you two more than anything in the world. You two are my home and my world and why would I jeopardize what we have for any woman? I mean…who could even be better than you because I haven’t seen, have you?” He asked rhetorically, making me smile, tearing up.“You’re sophisticated, gorgeous, the
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
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
