Selena was happy as she was going to marry the love of her life Daniel Wells. It was all she wanted, even if her parents did not want her to marry him. Her life takes an unexpected turn when Daniel abandons her at the altar, with a message implying he can't go through with the wedding because he has fallen in love with June, who is Selena’s best friend. Selena, consumed by anger, shame, and betrayal meets Max Stone, who promises her a chance at revenge. In exchange for his promise, she accepts a contract to marry him, not knowing his true intentions or his position as the CEO of her company. Will her taste for revenge bring her the closure she needs, or will it untangle her life in surprising ways?

Chapter one

“Is the groom on his way?” The Minister whispered, I did not know how to answer, I have been feeling agitated since arriving at the church this morning. It had been thirty minutes, sitting and waiting for Daniel.Thankfully the church had a room, where I could dress for the wedding, so I came earlier than everyone, but Daniel promised to be here with me at the same time. He promised.“No, but he’s on his way," I answered, although I did not know if it was the truth, but I had to tell the Minister something. The Minister just shooked his head and left.I need June, June was supposed to be here with me, helping me, as one of the duties of a bridesmaid. This was not how I had envisioned today going. Sweat trickled down my face, even with the air conditioning in this room, it was not enough to keep me from sweating. “Selena, try and call him again, what is this behaviour, does he not know today is his wedding day, such a stupid boy." My father shouted at me, eyes blazing. I went out th...

Chapter two
I stood speechless, my mouth opened as I watched Max.“Is it something I can do, will I be able to go through with it?” She thought out loud."Yes you will, do you know why?, because looking at you, I know you can accomplish anything you set your eyes on." Max answered her.“You know I was not talking to you." But I could not deny how his words just made me feel… powerful. I no longer felt small and stupid, but can I trust this stranger?.“I'll do it, let's get married." “I'll sign the contract and you are going to keep your end of the bargain, you will help me." "You can be certain that I'll do anything for you.” Max replied with a smirk on his face.This stranger was a puzzle, one that I was going to solve but before that she had to ask a question that's been on my mind since this conversation started.“What do you get out of this?"Max shook with laughter before answering, "I'm getting you as a wife, is that not enough?” He sombered immediately, revealing a predatory gleam in his

Chapter three
"You have a daughter?”, "Why was that not mentioned?" I shouted out the question, when I saw the little girl looking at me, I tried to remain calm.How many more people are going to betray me, just in a day. I thought."It was not a secret, my daughter is not going to be a problem, I'll do everything I promised to do, you just have to be a wife, I don't need a mother for my daughter.”I realized how my questions made me sound like I hated the idea of him having a child, but that was far from it, it's the keeping of secrets I hated and loathed."I'm sorry, that's not what I'm trying to say. I don't like you keeping secrets from me, and you having a daughter is a big deal.” I said calmly this time.Max took a calming breath. “I understand."I knew then, he was not going to say more than that, I had come to realize that Max Stone is a man of few words and a man that carries power. “Take her things inside, show her to her room, and help her with anything she wants." He continued, speakin

Chapter four
"Please, I want to leave this place, take me back to your house. Get me out of here.” I was frantic now. I could not believe they had the nerve to look so happy, when my life was crumbling before my eyes.I felt sick to the bone, they had no care for me. I understood now, that they never cared for me.“Calm down! Selena, you are shaking. Look at me, do not look at them. Jesus! you are scaring me.” Max said trying to calm me down.“You! Is Trina safe in the car? We are going back home." I could hear Max's commanding voice but all I could do was cry. I was crying, oh God I was crying again because of them. “Let's go home Selena, I'll make sure they suffer." I felt Max's hands on me, holding me. We were in the car, going back to his place.“Daddy, is something wrong with Selena?"Trina asked in a small voice, her forehead crushed in sadness and confusion."She is fine baby, Selena is just sad at the moment.” Max replied.“Can I hug her? You said hugging helps when someone is sad.” Trina

Chapter five
His lips were warm and soft. They parted slightly, allowing my tongue to slip inside.This was wrong, I was not ready for a relationship with this man, especially when I know he was hiding things from me.Liking him or worse falling in love with him will not end well for me.I was too vulnerable after the betrayal I just received, who could blame me. But knowing all that, I could not pull away. I heard footsteps approaching, someone was coming.“Mr Stone?" Mrs Rolly said entering the room, as we jumped apart. Max had a surprise expression on his face.While my mind was jumbled, how could I kiss him? I've always loved Daniel, he was my first kiss. He was my everything. How could I betray him?I shook my head, remember Selena, Daniel was the one that betrayed you, with your best friend nonetheless.“What is it, Mrs Rolly? I thought I said no disturbance, that I and Selena had something to discuss.”"Sir, a woman is here to see Mrs Stone.”Mrs Rolly replied.That brought me back from my

Chapter six
My mother caught herself, then she straightened. And looked at me. “What is he saying Selena?"I glanced around the room, refusing to make eye contact with my mother."Well, I'm married to Max Mom, we got married on the day of my wedding.”Saying that out loud, it sounded strange, who gets married to another man, on the day they were supposed to get married to another one."This is good news, Selena. I'm so proud of you, you have done well.” My mother said, almost jumping with excitement. I knew this was going to be my mother's reaction. I looked at Max, hoping my gaze conveyed my anger at him.“Mr Stone, or can I call you Max, you can call me mom too, after all we are now related.” My mother asked Max, waiting for his answer.“Yes, you can call me Max. I'm sorry we had to hurry the wedding, it was not my intention to marry Selena like this. If you would like, we can hold a reception.”It did not go unnoticed that he did not agree to call my mother, mom. And that he was not sorry at

Chapter seven
Two days later, I was still agitated from the news Max shared with me. I will see Daniel and with June of all people, a pregnant June at that.I don't know how I'm going to feel when that day comes but I know right now, I can taste fear in my mouth.I should not even be afraid, they are the ones in the wrong here, they betrayed me.I woke up today, and decided to put those thoughts behind me. After getting ready for the day, I decided to take Trina to school. I've hardly seen the little girl since that disastrous outing.Going to her bedroom, I knocked on the door, “Trina are you awake?” "Yes I am Selena, Mrs Rolly is here too, today is the bestest day ever.” Trina answered with a small and excited voice. I smiled so wide, it shocked me. I just met this little girl but it was like I've always loved her.Entering her bedroom, I saw her getting ready. “I will take you to school today Trina, will you like that? Good morning Mrs Rolly."Trina jumped and clapped her little fingers," yes,

Chapter eight
Max had brought a personal shopping assistant, after we came back early from our shopping trip last time. So I had so many dresses to choose from.I did not want to dress too much, so Max might think I'm trying to seduce him, but I did not want to dress down and embarrass him either. Dressing up was something I found hard to do. Daniel had always complained about everything I wore, but at that time I thought it was coming from a place of love. I decided on a black strapless gown, it was beautiful, and I was sure it was expensive.Later that day, I got ready, Max was back, and was waiting for me downstairs. I was nervous. I have never claimed to be a beauty but at least I was trying.Coming downstairs, I stopped when I saw Max. He turned to look at me and we paused for a second. I took a deep breath and said, “Sorry for keeping you waiting."“No big deal, you look beautiful Selena." Max said.I could feel my cheek turning red, I was grateful I was not standing close to him, so he wou

Chapter nine
I could see Daniel's name flashing on my phone. I don't understand what he could want. Since our disastrous wedding day, I've only received a text.My heart was beating so fast, it felt as if it would come out of my chest.Decision made, I brought my finger to click on accept, when I heard Max's voice. Then the ringing stopped. “Selena you are back, have you seen the magazine. I hope it was to your liking…Selena you look pale. Is something the matter?”"uhmm… Daniel just called."“Daniel? You mean June's husband."My heart clenched a little, does he have to remind me? I know he didn't want to say my ex fiance but calling Daniel June's husband is just adding salt to injury.I shrug, the shock wearing off, and trying to put on a brave face. “Maybe he wants to talk, maybe he wants to explain. After all I deserve an explanation, we loved each other.”Max's lips thinned, his jaw tightened. He was angry with my statement. I don't know why he was angry, I was the one that was betrayed not h

Chapter ten
I left Max's house, telling Mrs Rolly to inform Max on my whereabouts if he ever came back looking for me.I took the driver, because quite frankly I was too nervous to drive and I wanted someone with even if I know the driver will be in the car all through, I wanted someone I was familiar with around.The man has driven me to all my locations these past days, so I was familiar with his face.Getting to the location, I ordered coffee and waited for Daniel. He was supposed to meet me here at the same time.I sighed, Daniel has always had a late bone in him, he was always late to everything, now I don't know if that was because he never cared enough about to put me first or if he was always with June during those times.Clearing my head, I brought my phone out and tried calling Max again and he still did not answer. Was he that angry, it's my life not his.I tucked my phone back into my bag, when I saw Daniel entering the building. He was handsome as always. As he sat down, he said. “S
