The Billionaire's Jilted Bride Chapter seventy-five
There was silence after that question, they were waiting for him to answer, I was waiting too. What will he say to that?“Did you tell him what to say when asked about this?" I asked Max, pointing to his phone. "I told him to tell the truth, but that is too far from what Daniel will do. He knows admitting he was the one who took the video will crucify him, so I don't think he will say that. But he definitely absolves you of any guilt since you didn't do anything.”That was good, I can deal with Daniel later. He just needed to clear my name, because June made it seem like I did everything.Daniel would not still answer, his silence made the reporters restless and they went back to asking different questions.I could see he was nervous, the question had shaken him up. Did he think he could post something like that and make me take all the blame? Yes, that's exactly what he thought. Stupid him.He found his voice later because he answered with a vague response. “The person who took the

"Mommy!! Daddy said you were busy. Are you done now?” Trina asked, she was smiling so big. I looked at Mrs Rolly and she gave me her signature small smile.“Yes, I'm no longer busy. How was your day? I'm sure you're happy your grandma is here." I moved closer to her and sat on the floor where her toys were placed.She gave me a sheepish smile. "I've been sleeping, so I saw Grandma for a little bit but she gave me cookies and told me you were still busy." I'm happy she was still too little to have a phone. It would have been a disaster to see her step mother on the Internet for something like that.When I still think about it, I'm not sure I will ever remove the feeling of people seeing me naked and having sex. That feeling will stay with me and I blame Daniel for it.It wasn't enough to ruin our day and marry my best friend, he violated me. Trina took my hand with her little hand and I was snapped to the present.“So tell me again, all about your toys." I needed something to divert m

I woke up the next morning to the sunlight shining through the window and Max arms wrapped around me protectively. I had woken up from a nightmare a few hours after we had slept last night.I was unable to sleep again until early hours of the morning. I had decided to not go to the company today, I wouldn't be able to stand the glances and looks people will give me. And reporters were still outside, what they were looking for is something I still don't know.After the statement Max and I had given out last night, they should have left the area but that was not enough for them I think.After the nightmare which I couldn't even remember, Max didn't sleep either. I knew he was worried even if he wouldn't say it. I still haven't apologized for my behavior and Max didn't care for that.I felt his breath on my neck, that's how I knew he was awake as I was. I turned my body to face him, so I could see him as I asked him what I needed.“Hey, do you still have the migraine?" He gave me a kiss

“I was not going to do anything, you are just exaggerating." Daniel screamed, his nose was broken. His handsome face had so much fear in them.“Do you know what you've done Daniel? You recorded that video and then you posted it on the Internet.” I screamed in his face when he was done fixing himself and trying to hide his fear and nervousness."I did not record anything, I told the public the truth, that I would find the person who did it after that husband of yours kidnapped me,” he pointed to Max as he continued, “And I did not post the video on the Internet, there's no evidence of that, someone might have used my IP address.”I scowled at him, "Is that the excuse you are going for? Really Daniel, you are going to stand here and lie to me that you are not at fault. Do you really think I'm that stupid.”I stomped around the office, my aim to stay composed flew through the window. I should have known Daniel wouldn't just agree to everything, that he would not just apologize even if it

Walking into my office, the memory of Max telling me what had happened hit me like a rock.The office has been arranged back to the way it was. This was probably Stella's doing, she put everything in order, down to the picture of Max and Trina I have on my desk.I got behind my desk and was ready for the day. Stella came in with my coffee and documents. It was nice to get back to regular routine, it felt like I have been down for days when it just been a day.Nobody will fault me for giving myself time to go through my emotions but I just couldn't sit and think about the video.Just a day and the documents were a lot. We are in the process of doing business with a new restaurant that just opened. We are in the agreement phase. Seeing that they still wanted to do business with us means that they didn't care about the video.I should have known it wouldn't because the stocks of the company was still high but I was still scared that new prospect will want to back out.I clicked on the in

Max was the first to regain his composure. "What are you doing here?” His voice was hard and angry.I was so shocked to see them here, my phone had been with me all day and I read through the thousands of texts she had sent. There was nothing stating she will be coming here. The last time my mother was here, was to check how I was living in the rich and wealthy and that was not good either.I blushed from the shame and embarrassment they were going to cause me.I had hoped to have a peaceful evening with people I care about and that actually care about me but now having my parents here has made that idea go into the wind.“Max is that the way you talk to our guests." Heather says, cautioning him. She stood up and walked to us. We were still standing by the door, “Mom, you don't know how these people treat my wife and right now she doesn't need their company."“They are still her parents. You don't have to be rude to them." Heather whispered to us.Heather did not really know how my

"Will that work? Won't they find it strange that she agreeing to them now?” Max asked, concerned. I get what he was saying, hopefully Stella will know how to put in her answer to them.“Yes it will, she just have to be careful and lure them in gently but I don't think they will find it suspicious. They've been asking for a spy and now she will give them that in a platter of gold and I know Daniel will be more than eager to have something on me, if not Daniel then June will be.”Now that I'm thinking straight, Trina might be the one who forced Daniel to post that but like always he will agree because the last time he came to my office he was trying to talk about his feelings for me.“We will have to wait and see then but before we get to that time, please do not do anything on you own just wait for your secretary to tell you when they have reached out.”"I won't do anything husband.”"Thank you wife.”"Let's go to sleep, no wait… before you sleep off there's something else that came to

Trina woke up to join us for breakfast and it was decided that we will all go to the park, including Heather and Mrs Rolly, since it was Friday and we could go to work later in the day.I was eager for it, even if the reporters will be on our heels I certainly do not care. Having a family is something I have always cherished because I didn't get one when I was young or older.“Mummy hurry up." Trina screamed her lungs out for me, “Daddy why does mummy always take her time to get ready." Trina was already ready, Mrs Rolly had gotten her dressed and I loved what she was wearing. I could hear her asking Max, I couldn't help but laugh as I quickly got ready. I could not hear Max's reply, which I know is going to be a funny one.I rush downstairs, careful not to slip on the stairs. “I'm ready now darling, mummy was just trying to look pretty.”She giggled. "You always look pretty mummy.” she said like it was something I shouldn't doubt ever. "She is right you know, My daughter isn't wron

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
