The next morning, when the sun rose up my eyes were bloodshot from the lack of sleep. Trina had slept so well. She didn't have any more dreams or nightmares. Our presence was what made her feel safe.

“What is it? “ Max asked, when he saw the concern on my face. He was tired too, we couldn't sleep last night from fear of what would happen to Trina.

“Nothing, I'm just worried." I stood up and went to the bathroom to wash my face. When I got back inside the room, Trina was still asleep and Max was running his fingers through her hair. “What about you, are you okay.? You've dealt with this before. So how are you feeling now?" I continued.

He turned to look at me, taking his eyes from her. "I'm just worried. I will always worry about her. She is my girl, you both are.”

I moved closer to him and placed a kiss on his cheek, holding his face in my hands. “She will overcome this. From what she said last night. It is the fear of getting lost. I know she didn't look as if she was afraid when she

    I put those thoughts away and I stood up, walking towards Stella where she is stationed. I was leaving earlier than usual and I could see the surprise on her face when I drew closer to her.“Stella, I will be leaving early today. I have to get home. Make sure you go home early too… see you tomorrow.”“Is something the matter ma'am. You have never gone home this early before.”"Everything is fine, I just need to be with my family.”I left, taking the elevator. The guards waiting for me. I didn't want them in the office, in my space. So Max agreed to them waiting by the car, that was the only exception.They greeted and opened the car door as I entered the back seat.I got home and it was just Mrs Rolly at home. That's what I wanted. Mrs Rolly was here to help with everything I needed.“Mrs Rolly, thank you for helping me. I appreciate it."“It's not a problem, I like what we are doing tonight."I smiled, “I'm sure Trina will be happy about this. Although we always eat dinner together,

    “I never thought I would see the day my wife gets down and dirty. This is devious and I will support it.” I rolled my eyes and sat on his lap."Is that so? Will you support it?”"Of course, anything you want is yours.” I loved that he will always support everything that I want, everything that I think we should do. "But what plan did you have in mind, you said you had one. Is it better than mine, if it is, let's do yours and mine." This was new, even when Max bought Evergreen, I was not this enthusiastic about it.Maybe it was because of what Daniel did, visiting my mother-in-law. Making her have a heart attack. June tried to destroy the company I was finally able to build up. Maybe that was why I didn't care anymore, I will do everything in my power.“I wanted to go for Daniel's parents. I hear his father is into gambling and he has a huge debt, since they do not have the means for it anymore. And Daniel was into it too before he got married to June but I don't know if he has starte

    Everyone was staring, every single person and June did not care about it. Well she did not care now because she was too engrossed in trying to make me squirm and she was failing in that department.I still had that smirk on my face. “I don't know what you are saying but feel free to enlighten me on what you are talking about." Daniel tried to stop her, grabbing her arms to keep her from talking but June didn't care and that was what we had planned for. This was the reason Max and I had planned to release the news when they were in public. June wouldn't be able to resist confronting me and that will therefore make her disgrace herself. “I know it was you who released these stupid articles. You are trying to embarrass me but they are all lies, everyone knows that."“Wait a minute, let me check what you are talking about." I took out my phone from my purse and pretended to check the articles. “Oh this. Are you sure they are not true? The women have proof, there are pictures and your f

    For the following days after that epic reveal of Daniel and June's life, there were articles everywhere about them and not the good ones. Their faces were put on every social media, with the video that was recorded which meant my face was there too. And truthfully I didn't mind one bit.As far as people tear down Daniel and June, I was okay with my face plastered everywhere.They've been MIA since that day but their friends and family were questioned by paparazzi everywhere they went. Mr Wells claimed to be sick and he is currently in the hospital. Max investigated and he was not sick. They just kept him there to prevent investigation and questioning.“Hi." I whispered as I woke up to find Max staring at me on our bed. Last night was another good night with Max. We went on a date, it was a nice romantic date.It was a surprise too. Max just showed up at my office, which shocked everyone because he had never entered the company. I still remember my secretary running into my office with

    My bodyguards had always found a way around them. I didn't want to be questioned, that was Trina's problem not mine because they were nowhere to be seen. I was the next target.“I know that. I had to evade them. They are like flies truly, I don't know why they are trying to talk to me when they should be talking to the people involved in this scandal.”I walked into my office determined to put the paparazzi behind me and get some work done. We've been trying to get a contract with another organic produce farmer, someone that can give us what we want.“About the farmer that is to supply us his produce, has he reached out after the discussion we had?” I ask Stella."Yes he has. He said he will be happy to partner with us and there have been no news about any tempered ingredients at the restaurant we supply those products to.”June had me checking regularly. I didn't want her to fulfill her plan. The one she had started.“Thank you for that. It slipped my mind for a moment but thank you

    “The company you have claimed as your own was stolen by your husband. He used his power and wealth to bully the previous owners to sell the company."The third man says. That was when I realized this was an ambush. That these men, at least two of them, know June and Daniel and are angry for them. This meeting was just a way for them to belittle me and my husband.Well, they've gotten the wrong idea. I won't just sit and let them talk to me like that. Financial aid be damned.“My husband does not have to bully or force anyone to sell their company. Evergreen was taken before the company could have died completely and I have done enough for it not to sink. And I'm grateful for my husband, after all he is my husband.”They didn't say anything to that, and I was tired of this meeting already. It was just sabotage and they didn't gather here for my purpose. “Good, since this meeting was not what I wanted. I will leave you gentlemen. Have a nice day.” I got up and left them sitting.Men, t

    “Max, I… he just…” I didn't know what else to say. I just hope he did not think I wanted this. This was what I wanted to prevent, people knowing he was here.I just knew this was what Daniel wanted and I'm sure June knew about this too or she might not because he came here to tell me he wanted a divorce. And June would never let Daniel go, never.Daniel stood up as Max came into the office. The smile he had when he first came in was wiped off when I told him he can shove his words down his ass but now, him looking at Max, I could see he was anxious. He was very nervous.If I had not known him, I wouldn't know he was afraid of Max. He tried to hide his nervousness but he failed miserably.“I know he came here unannounced babe. You don't have to explain yourself." He then walked up closer to me, and gave me a kiss on my lips. At that moment, there was no one else in the room with us.His lips were so gentle and smooth. He was marking his claim and I was all for it.A cough broke us apar

    I was ready to call it a day after such a stressful day. I was having a migraine again from the stress. Daniel wanted me back, even if he was lying about it. This was the first time he had made such a suggestion after leaving me at the altar.What could have made him suggest such a thing. Did he still love me or was he manipulating me? Was this his way of luring me in? All these questions were in my head. It was spinning so much.My pressing question was, where was June. Where had she been, where did they run off to.“I really need to take something for this migraine." I murmured to myself. I was tired. What game were they trying to play?If Daniel came here to shake me up, he has done a perfect job about it. The reason I was shaken and confused right now was because I did not know what they were playing at.Going back to Daniel is something I have not even thought about. But the fact that he came here to offer that, makes me anxious for the reason behind it.A thought occurred to me,

    EPILOGUEFour Years Later“You look beautiful, love, but Trina's impatience to see you is going to make Mrs Rolly have more gray hair.” I laughed, “I'm almost done." Max grabbed me by the waist and just kept on looking at me.“You know I am not done, you have to let me go.” I said, seeing he was not letting go."What's remaining? Your jewelry?”"Yes.”"I can help with that.” He took the jewelry box he had bought last week for this specific function and put it round my neck.I was putting on a white flowing gown, my neck and shoulders were not covered and the scar of the gunshot wound was still visible.Thinking about that kidnapping sent a shiver down my spine. “Are you cold?" “No, I just remember what happened to give me this scar."Max's face changed, Heather told me how Max almost gave up and he went over the edge. The months that went by after that were so bad. I was in the hospital for two months because I fell into a coma. Waking up and I was told June died, after she shot me

    I regained consciousness to find myself tied to a chair. I still felt dizzy from whatever was used to make me lose consciousness in the first place and had a blasting headache. I shook my head to clear my head.I looked around and it was like I was in an empty warehouse. My life couldn't have felt anything less that good right now. I can't believe I've been kidnapped, in my current emotional state.I hadn't the faintest idea why I was…wherever I was. It seemed ridiculous that I would be anyone’s personal ransom bait, and I couldn’t see how anyone would know where I was at the moment I was taken. But to somebody, it must have been quite a work. I wondered what my abductor could want from me, I tried thinking about any possible person that could hate me enough to kidnap me and the only set of people that came to mind was June and Daniel and I did not think they had the guts to do this.There was a gag converting my mouth, catching sight of the camera on the wall across from me for the

    “You are lying. You are a liar, I don't believe anything you say." I screamed at him, my body shaking. Why will he hurt me like this? “I’ve loved you Max and you lie to me. Why?”"Please Selena, I'm not lying. I swear I'm not.” He moved from where he was to take my hand and I swatted him away."Don't touch me. Don't touch me, you have no right to. You kept quiet about so many things, you knew I worked at your company but you said nothing…” tears dropped from my eyes as I remembered the remaining things he had just said.“You…” I tried to continue but my throat closed up, anger and the sob trying to break out didn't help."I know I lied, please I know that but baby I couldn't tell you. I was afraid, afraid if I told you I've seen you for years before we got married you wouldn't want anything to do with me. That you will be wary, so I pretended to be a stranger, I pretended to not show I am in love with you but…”I couldn't take any more of his explanation. “Stop!! Just stop. I don't ca

    We watched her sleep for a few minutes before we left to go to our own room, holding hands. Today has been perfect, from the good news that Max gave me of Stella not being in cahoot with Daniel and June to the best dinner date.“She’s perfect, very perfect.” I said to Max because it has truly been."I know I tell you everyday, but you raised an angel.”“I know, I'm so proud of her. She is just four going five in some months and she has a good head on her shoulders. I'm happy she was drawn to you immediately and you are perfect Selena. You are good for her.”I smiled at him, happy she did too and happy he sees me this way. “Well, it's good her crazy mother left. Do you still keep track of her?"The situation with Heather was still fresh in my mind. Especially how June wanted to use her against me, it was with planning and all we prevented her from meeting Trina again after she almost gave me a heart attack when she met Trina at school. "Always, until I'm sure she is not going to cause

    He raised his head as he stepped out of the elevator and looked at me with a wide smile. I walked up to him and gave him a big kiss, not caring about the audience then I hugged him.His eyes were filled with love as he stared at me and took my bag to hold it. We walked out of my company building, thankfully there were less paparazzi as the day went by.We waited for the car to come around and we entered into his car with a driver at the driver's seat.“How was your day? Was there any trouble?" He asked, taking my hands in his as he caressed them.“It was good, just too much workload. Then you gave me the news. Ehe… about that, I'm just glad she is clean and not in cahoot with them. She was down today and I asked what happened, so I could help.”My train of thoughts stopped and I got distracted by his eyes, as he gave me his undivided attention. He noticed and a smirk appeared on his face.I know even if he wanted me to go back to my everyday life, he was still worried about me. That's

    “Let him in. I guess, what he has to say is important." Stella left my office to let him in.He entered my office, looking every bit angry but trying to hide it. "Good morning Mrs Stone. I see you are back to the company, you were gone for a while.”"Well Mr Oliver, my husband and I had things to take care of. I'm sure you can understand that.” I'm not above using my husband to make someone afraid and that purpose was achieved because he tried to mask his shocked face."I know that, I'm sorry for the things that have happened to your family.”I took his fake apology at face value and nodded in understanding. “Is there an important issue you came here to tell me?"I asked him, he needed to leave and go back to his work. “No… I just wanted to see you, I'll go back to my work now.”I could tell he would have said more if I hadn't mentioned Max. He always wants to try and put me in my place, but this time he couldn't. The fear of my husband is always something I will use.After he left,

    The day started as every other day but the difference was I was going back to my company today.I woke up to an empty bed. Max wasn't beside me, I panicked until I heard the shower running. He was getting ready earlier than usual, since I married him he hasn't left tge house without us getting ready together.I heard the shower turned off and he stepped out of the bathroom. “Oh you are awake. I hope I didn't wake you up?"“No you didn't, I just woke up and I couldn't find you. Are you in a hurry? You got up earlier than normal.” I stretched to check my phone on the nightstand close to my bed and the time read six in the morning.“I know this isn't normal but I have a meeting as early as eight and I want to go in first before having this meeting. It's important." Max shouts from the wardrobe.“Oh okay. I just wanted to tell you that I'm going to work today. I know you will like that.” I stood up from the bed, walking to see him still in his towel as he looked for what to wear.He heard

    He lightly opened the door as he entered our room, I turned my head to the other side of the bed trying to hide from.I know he is worried but I can’t seem to stop feeling like everything has been my fault. I needed to get back to work but I was scared. There were videos of me being surrounded by the group of women and the comments were not pretty.“I know you are not sleeping.” Max says, his voice low and sad.“I just…I can’t get out of this feeling Max. it feels like my life is crashing and everything is my fault.” Max sighs deeply and walks to where I was laying on the bed, I moved to make more room for him. “I'm trying Selena. I'm trying to give you space, but at the same time I don't want you to hide your feelings from me. I'm the last person you should do that to.” He took a deep breath again as he continued."You have me Selena, I will tell you that every time. Nothing will make me blame you for something that is not your fault and you were not able to stop. I love you and I

    I crumbled to my knees, my hands over my face trying to ignore the shouts from the women. My heart still beating so fast, that's when I felt someone touch me, removing my hands from where it was.It was Max, “Max," I say softly. “They hate me. I shouldn't have come."“Shh, shh, shh. You are okay, everything is okay. We are going home now." He lifted me up in his arms, my face in his neck, stopping my eyes from meeting anyone's.We got into the vehicle my arms wrapped around Max so tight I was afraid he might suffocate but I could not let him go. That's when I remembered, “Trina."“What did you say love." “Trina, where is she? Oh my God did something happen to her?" The last time I saw her she was with Max's mother and Mrs Rolly.“She is fine, she's with my mother and Mrs Rolly. Although she is worried, they all are but I told them you are fine. We will meet at home and they will all smother you with love."“I'm sorry I made today end, they just kept saying things and I tried to tell
