The Billionaire's Jilted Bride 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

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

"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

"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

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

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

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,

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

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
