Sun filtered into the room through the window. I woke up to Max's arms wrapped around me protectively. He stirred, trying to pretend he was still asleep.โI know you are not sleeping, we need to get up." Max always finds it hard to leave the bedroom every time we wake up in the morning, he always wants to stay longer in days. He says that's because I make it hard for him to leave being beautiful and his wife. When he says things like that I always turn red.โWhat if I just want to stay with you forever, won't you grant me that wish, my beautiful wife.โI smiled, โYou know we can't just stay in bed forever and I will continue to say it. I will be taking Trina to the park today, we are having a girls day out. Heather was supposed to come along but she said she has a meeting with her friends.โ"Why are you having a girls day out with Just Trina, what about me.โI playfully smacked his chest, laughing at him "You are not a girl. This is between me and Trina. Now get up, you are still hold

โIs it about Kelly?" I asked.โNo, it's about Daniel. You remember the construction company I planned on acquiring, well not planned we are in the means of getting the company.โ"Yes, you said it was owned by a family friend of June, that they were the ones helping her family out since they lost Evergreen. Did something happen?โ"I think I will not be taking over the company anymore. The PI I sent to investigate the company got back to me and he said some surprising things. Can you imagine that company too is on the verge of bankruptcy, everyone is just pretending.โIn the world of the wealthy I have seen that most of them are full of pretenders. Old money who can't believe they've lost their money and pretend they still have it. It was laughable to be honest, because if I had not been in this world I wouldn't have guessed that most of the wealth they flash around is fake.June was an example, her family was struggling and she had pretended for so long and now this family friend of he

Max was furious when I told him what Trina said to me, I could understand that I was furious too. Even after what Kelly had told me about June, I didn't care. She should not have seen Trina, she shouldn't have come closer to her at all.โI place you there to keep my daughter and wife safe, but when it comes down to it you don't do your job. A stranger came in contact with my daughter today and you couldn't stop her.โ Max was screaming at the guards he had appointed to protect Trina. I couldn't calm him down, truthfully I did not want to, they were useless if someone like Kelly could get pass them.Max closed his fist in fury, a drink on his other hand. I sat on the opposite side watching him match around his study, Trina was safe with Mrs Rolly. She was blissful unaware of what she had told me and that she had met her mother. We were glad Kelly had the sense to not introduce herself to her.โI don't know why you can't do your job, you let my four years old daughter talk to her strange

โWhat do you mean by pictures?โ Max turned to me, "Selena why are there pictures of you and June?โMy mind was spinning, this was not what I wanted. June had planned everything, I was almost sure she was the one that called the paparazzi. She was trying to make me out as the bad guy."Iโฆ" I faltered.Max waited, when he saw I wasn't going to say anything. He left to answer the phone call. My feet moved and I followed him.โYes?... My phone wasn't with meโฆ what do you mean, there are malicious comments onlineโฆ no, I'll take care of this. Don't do anything else, I just want you to release a statement saying my wife went there on her own that bumping into June was just a coincidence.โMax dropped the landline and he turned to me. I was expecting to see anger but all I saw was hurt. He was hurt and I was responsible."Why didn't you tell you went to June?โ"It's notโฆ I didn't want to add to the troubles that already happened. I did not tell you because of anything great, I just called her

I arrived home to meet Max waiting for me at the dining table, food everywhere. With how late I was, I wonder how my secretary didn't leave without speaking with me. โOh my God Max, who is eating all this?"โYou of course, who else?"โWhere's everyone?"โTrina is asleep already, and I told Mrs Rolly to take an early night. I wanted to give us some privacy."The dining table in this mansion of a house has always been big and right this moment a plate of food was placed everywhere. Max was really worried and I was sure he blamed himself for not shutting down and quickly knowing what June had planned.โHmm, privacy for what darling."Max snapped his head quickly to look at me, he was shocked and that was my intention. I have never called him anything other than Max and he was surprised I did. He was still staring when I said. โWhat? Privacy for what darling?"That brought him back and he smirked. He pointed to the chair close to him, the one he had pulled out and I moved closer to him, s

Max was too stunned to speak, I looked up at him but his face was ashen so pale that I was scared something was wrong with him too. Trina was quiet at my side, probably sensing how the atmosphere has changed because she didn't ask any questions or laugh.Since Max couldn't utter anything and Mrs Rolly was too sad and crying so much to say any words, I asked as calmly as I could. โMrs Rolly, can you please tell us where Heather is right now?"Mrs Rolly swallowed another round of tears, her throat bob before she could answer me, โShe's at the hospital ma'am.โSomeone gasped but then I realized it was me. Heather is a strong, healthy woman what would have made her sick to take her to the hospital."Let's go to the hospital Max, the driver is still in the car.โ But he didn't respond, "Hey look at me, look at me baby. We need to go now, your mother needs us.โI turned my attention to Mrs Rolly, "Take Trina inside and Mrs Rolly, I'll call with more information. So please do not worry.โ I ki

We went quickly to the room and Heather was really awake. She smiled when we entered the room or rather she at Max. My heart thundered in my chest."How are you feeling mom?โ Max asked her."I scared you didn't I?โ She replied with a sly grin on her face. She had yet to look at me and I was really not in a hurry to be confronted by her."You did mom, you did.โ Max placed his hands on Heather's hair, brushing it with his fingers. "You've never being so sick to be in the hospital. Mrs Rolly was the one who had to tell us, me and Selena were so afraid something bad had happened to you."โYou don't have to worry about that son, I'm not going anywhere."โThat is good to hear mom, I'm not going to let you."I stood there, happy she was awake, happy that Max wouldn't loose someone he loves.โI need to go see the doctor, I will be right back. Selena is here." Max gave his mother a kiss on her cheek and gave me a soft pat on my shoulder and then he left.As Max left, Heather turned her attenti

The next morning, we left as early as we could to visit Heather at the hospital. When we got there she was grumpy and wanted to go home as soon as possible but she was happy to see Trina and Trina was happy to see her too.โGrandma, should I kiss and make it go away. Mommy told me it works."The sound of everyone laughing was refreshing to hear. It is relieving to see Max and Heather smile even after the shock of yesterday.โYes, you can. Come here honey.โ Trina tried to climb the hospital bed and Max lifted to sit on it. Heather took her in for a hug before Trina gave her two big kisses on her face."Did it work Grandma? Are you still in pain?โ When Heather took too long to answer, Trina took that as a sign that it didn't work. "Mommy it didn't work.โ She said, her voice cracking, almost crying."It worked darling, I'm no longer in pain.โ Then Heather pointedly looked at her son. "And now I can go home, can't I Selena?โ"Mom don't bring Selena into this, I just spoke to the doctor be

EPILOGUEFour Years LaterโYou look beautiful, love, but Trina's impatience to see you is going to make Mrs Rolly have more gray hair.โ I laughed, โI'm almost done." Max grabbed me by the waist and just kept on looking at me.โYou know I am not done, you have to let me go.โ I said, seeing he was not letting go."What's remaining? Your jewelry?โ"Yes.โ"I can help with that.โ 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. โAre you cold?" โNo, 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 wasโฆwherever I was. It seemed ridiculous that I would be anyoneโs personal ransom bait, and I couldnโt 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

โYou 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? โIโve loved you Max and you lie to me. Why?โ"Please Selena, I'm not lying. I swear I'm not.โ 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 nothingโฆโ tears dropped from my eyes as I remembered the remaining things he had just said.โYouโฆโ 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.

That you will be wary, so I pretended to be a stranger, I pretended to not show I am in love with you butโฆโI couldn't take any more of his explanation. โStop!! 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.โSheโs perfect, very perfect.โ I said to Max because it has truly been."I know I tell you everyday, but you raised an angel.โโI 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.โI smiled at him, happy she did too and happy he sees me this way. โWell, 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.โHow was your day? Was there any trouble?" He asked, taking my hands in his as he caressed them.โIt was good, just too much workload. Then you gave me the news. Eheโฆ 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.โMy 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

โLet 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.โ"Well Mr Oliver, my husband and I had things to take care of. I'm sure you can understand that.โ 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.โI took his fake apology at face value and nodded in understanding. โIs there an important issue you came here to tell me?"I asked him, he needed to leave and go back to his work. โNoโฆ I just wanted to see you, I'll go back to my work now.โI 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. โOh you are awake. I hope I didn't wake you up?"โNo you didn't, I just woke up and I couldn't find you. Are you in a hurry? You got up earlier than normal.โ I stretched to check my phone on the nightstand close to my bed and the time read six in the morning.โI 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.โOh okay. I just wanted to tell you that I'm going to work today. I know you will like that.โ 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 canโt 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.โI know you are not sleeping.โ Max says, his voice low and sad.โI justโฆI canโt get out of this feeling Max. it feels like my life is crashing and everything is my fault.โ Max sighs deeply and walks to where I was laying on the bed, I moved to make more room for him. โI'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.โ 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, โMax," I say softly. โThey hate me. I shouldn't have come."โShh, 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, โTrina."โWhat did you say love." โTrina, 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.โShe 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."โI'm sorry I made today end, they just kept saying things and I tried to tell
