Chapter 5

I wake up to an empty room and bed. It seems he has already left, not surprised there but it still felt amazing sleeping his arms, breahing in his scent. Honestly, he's one fine. I woke up in the middle of thebnight and couldn't help but feel his and abs.

'Squeel'

I finally get out of bed and walk into the shower. Hopefully tonight I'll get to have a proper bath but now I need to get busy, operation get my husband back is a go.

~♡~

After dressing up, I went to the dining room to have my breakfast but instead I find my husband in a suit having breakfast whilst reading a newspaper. I look to the clock and it says 8 :30 am, he's usually already in the office by now.

"Ah, you are finally up." he states and smiles at me.

I know I made plans to spend more time with him but seeing him here just feels weird.

"Yes." I respond before walking up to the table and sitting down at the end of it, the maids set it up and food is then brought. We then eat in silence.

~♡~

From that morning onwards Alex would come home every night, eat breakfast with me every morning and I would drop off his lunch and sometimes eat with him. Everything seemed perfect for two weeks but as the world have it, drama just had to appear.

Two weeks of happiness and peace. During which Alex and I had gotten really close. Having spent so much time together, we had realized we had so many similar likes and dislikes.

But just as I got off the elevator on ground floor of the company just after having lunch with him, I found my father in law and his friend Albus Thompson, Emma's father.

"Selene, what are you doing here?"

"Were you disturbing Alex? You know he is busy and has no time to attend to your every whim. He's not like grandma who had the time to take care of you. You see I was right in telling mum that she spoiled you too much and making you Alex's wife would just distract. He needed a wife like Emma who would ground him and make his role easier and not stress him our constantly disturb him st work." my father in law said to me.

" I've heard father. I'll be leaving now." I responded to him and walked away.

I left him and his friend bad mouthing me and saying stupid and incompetent I am. I just left the office building because after all I'm not the only girl hated by her In laws and I won't be the last.

~♡~

I hear a knock on my door and loud voices until my father and Albus walk in.

I raise my eyebrow at them as I put the pen back on the table and lean back on my chair. Emmet looks at me questioningly and I just tilt my head to tell him to leave them with.

"What do I owe to this visit dad?" I ask my father. He and Albus seat on the couch and act like they own the place.

"I saw Selene downstairs, Why was she here?" he asks seeming irritated.

"She's my wife of course she came to see me." I say to him as look back at the documents infront of me.

"We know she's your wife but why was she here and what about Emma, you know she's been sad since you stopped allowing her to visit you. Why haven't you been letting her into your office whenever she comes by?" Albus finally says something.

I look at them and raise a brow.

"Is that why you decided to barg into my office and disturb my work. To talk about a woman I owe nothing and question me on my own wife bringing me lunch. If that's all then please leave." I press the calling button on my table and the door opens. Emmet stands by the door. I look at them, they try to argue and find excuses to stay but they seem to know from my face that I'm having none of it and they left. I look at Emmet and breathe out.

"Increase the security around Selene." I tell him and he closes the door.

I'm not comfortable about this. I need to find a way to protect and ensure no harm comes to Selene from these men. They are capable of anything.

I stand up by the window and look out into the city.

After my interaction with father in law I decided to stop by grandma's, we had afternoon tea and discussed a lot. She asked about how my relationship is going with Alex and I tell her of our recent developments.

"I'm happy you two are getting along but you do understand that your position will only be certain when you have a child together," she says to me and my face turns red in embarrassment. I know she's right but I've never done or even thought of having to sleep sleep with him.

"I'm not pressuring you into it but it's better if your relationship with him develops in that light you know." She says whilst having a little twinkle and laugh in her smile.

"I.. i," I decide to give up on talking.

Our tea gratefully progresses from such an uncomfortable topic but just as I was leaving, I found strange that they were more men outside.

"Mrs. Black, we are the new guards Mr. Black hired to protect you." one of them spoke out.

I looked at them and then grandma, wondering what all this is about. I just decided to go with them in the new SUV they brought and ask Alex about it later.

The ride back was pretty much uneventful until we reached the house and found a familiar car parked outside. I walked in to find Emma, she looked really disgruntled.

The moment she saw me, she ran to me yelling how I stole her man and attacked me. Luckily the guards stopped her, she looked behind me with fear in her eyes, then anger. I turned back and found a really angry Alex.
