Note; This is the sequel to a book, "The Pact" Read that first before this one for better understanding!! SELENE POV Drip! Drip! Drip! I watched the rain roll down the glass of my car, slow and steady. My eyes kept following the trails it left behind, before moving to another bubble of water. It's getting so close to August, so whatever rain we see now, is a lucky one. We should be out of it by now, whilst enjoying the summers. "Home now ma'am?" Dolan, my driver said. I glare from him to my office building. I own a Telemarketing company, and it's one of the biggest Telemarketing companies in Seattle. Maybes it's because my husband, Fabrico bought the place or the fact that I'm married to him. I don't know. But I look away from the building and to Dolan. The building may feel like h
FABRICO POVI knew she would whip me for not attending Russo's birthday party, but I was busy. A very important deal I was making with a European investor was canceled and they signed with another company. It bothered me for a second but I can do without them instead they should regret not working with me because my company is the best manufacturing and corporate company they will ever meet.My hands gently touch Selene's back caressing her skin. I missed her so much even though I kissed her this morning before going to work. Now, even I didn't know how I was going to tell her about my trip to San Francisco. I have an urgent meeting that needs my attention and will be gone for a week or two with Liano."Fabrico..." She moaned against my lips." You're zoning out, maybe you need to rest" is she fucking with me? She is exactly what I need. Shaking my head, I lift her by her
EMILIANO POVI watch her walk into my clubhouse, she has on a skinny silver dress that stopped just above her thighs and if she bent over, she'd be giving the men around here a good view. The back of the gown was down to her waist and her straight black shiny hair dangled as she worked by. With those heels on her, she could easily match my height but still, yet, she won't compare."Vanessa is back I see," My best friend Zandro said and I eye him before facing the beautiful, fuckable woman that had manger to creep into my life like a mist. We've had dinner a couple of times and she's even met my family once or twice but she still seems distant and it was like I couldn't reach her. It's unbelievable to think that I've known her for one fucking year and we haven't fucked. She still manages to keep me in the friend zone."I thought she quit being a stripper" I mumble
SELENE POVKai shrilled when she saw me, her hands flying to the air as she comes to hug me. Let's just say it's been a while since I saw her and with the whole romance going on between her and Leon, they took a trip to Bora Bora and just came back. I hope he makes her happy because if he breaks her heart, I'll kill him."Baby girl! You look so good!" I squeak and she kisses both my cheeks."You too." She said and take few steps back. "My, look at you. Fabrico let you leave the house like that?" Her eye run up and down my black handless gown that stopped on my thighs and clung to my body like a second skin."He's not even home yet," I say so plainly."You guys are ok right?" Her eyes held full concern and I hug her again, smiling. I don't want to ruin this night with any sad stories or bad thoughts so I just grip her hand and pull her into the bar instead
Selene POV"Excuse me?" I clear my throat and he turns around, his hands in his pocket and when I see his face, my breath catches in my throat. Something about his thick jaw and blue eyes reminds me of Blake but this guy looks different, organized, and has his shit together. It can't be Blake. Even if it was Blake, he's been missing from the Asylum for a year plus now. It can't be him."Hello Mrs. Valenquez" he smirked and I squeeze my fist."Uh..." I stretch my hand out for a handshake and he received it. Something about the touch was familiar but I shrug. It's probably just the feeling of meeting someone new. "Mr...""Taylor! Jake Taylor" he smiled and I return it."I'm sorry but have we met before?" I couldn't help but ask. His face remained the same, no emotions shown."I believe it's our first meeting ma'am" He lower
SELENE POVAfter the rain, it was almost too late to go back to work so I decided to go straight home, calling Dolan to come to pick me up at the cafe. I freaked out when I saw twelve missed calls from Fabrico. I'm fucked!. I bid goodbye to Jake Taylor who was absolutely a good company despite my first impression of him. He spoke about his little boy a lot and his wife.Immediately I reach home, I see Freya sitting in the dining with her coloring book and I go to swoop her in my arms."Mommy" she squeaked before hugging my neck. "I miss you" she smiled and I kiss her cheek."I missed you too darling. Have you had dinner yet?""No. I was waiting for you" She said and I place my hand on my chest."Oh, baby. You were waiting for Mommy" I felt touch. "Come, let's go eat." I carry her in my arms to the kitchen and Gre
SELENE POV Mr. Rochester was the exact opposite of what I thought he'd be and not what everyone painted him to be too. Instead of a serious businessman who'd be so strict and wise, he's more a cunning stupid womanizer who's done nothing but sexualizing my secretary since we got here. It's not like I have a problem with that. Leah is single and can be with whoever she wants, but it was a bit gross the way he stared. "So, I'm signing this deal with which of the Valenquez?" He asked with a grin, his hands folded on the table in front of him. "My brother Emiliano" I voice out and he nods before picking up the paper. "So it's a tech and motor company" he scrutinized the paper like it was some gold he was trying to mine. "Interesting deal. And what does my company get from this? What's my share?" "Twenty per
Emiliano POVIt's thrilling to see Vanessa again even though the last time I saw her was three days ago. I don't even know what she's doing to me anymore. It's like I want to be near her every fucking time and it's a feeling I can't help. A feeling I've never felt before. I refuse to call it love because I'm not the type of guy to offer a relationship and I think that's what Nessa wants. She's waiting for the day I ask her to be my girlfriend before she gives in to me but I can't. I won't. It's not safe. But I will have her either way."Congratulations on starting your own company" She clinked her glass with mine and I grin before taking a sip of my champagne. My eyes run down her black tight dress with shiny beads on it, accenting her curves."You look stunning. Thanks for coming""Your brother doesn't seem happy to
The room I wake up in is white and I feel a strong tugging at my arm before my eyes flutter open and realize I'm in a hospital room. Then came the memory of me lying on the floor of the house with smoke all over the place, with Fabrico running in through the doors with a cotton jacket on and dashing towards me. His faint words as I pass out were "stay with me. Selene, come on, please. Stay with me baby"I move on the bed trying to sit up when I hear movement beside me and Kay's face looms above me, a smile overtaking her face. "You're ok" she gasped before ringing the bell on the bedside.She helps me sit up and I take the wires out of my body, my hand rubbing my forehead. I'm wearing a blue hospital gown then my eyes roam the room. It's only Kay here. Two nurses entered, checking my temperature and all that. "All good says one""What happened?" I ask."You inhaled a lot of smoke. You're lucky it didn't affect your lungs much, we able to treat some minor injuries as well as some burns
The love of his life?I feel Eros stare at me before I even turn to look at him and when I do, his eyes are bulgy."You better know what you're talking about Bruno" I grit my teeth at the man. "I hate lies"He grinned sinisterly before crossing his legs and leaning back on his chair whiskey in the cup he twirled around. Bruno is everything but a liar, I know that but to think about him and my mama once being together was something I couldn't handle."It's true Liano. We were lovers set to marry also. I bought your mom a ring and everything and your dad was going to be my best man. When the month of our wedding came, my mother told me she couldn't marry me. Your snake of a father went behind my back to seal a deal with her dad to get her hand in marriage""It's hard to imagine you call anyone a snake. What does this have to do with me or Fabrico? You're ruining his life!""Like your father ruined mine. Do you know after he took your mother from me? My sweet Aida, I lost a lot of busine
Fabrico POVA petit woman with shaggy brown curls attends to the door, her eyes bulging with fear when she sees us like she wasn't expecting company. She's wearing a white frail sweater, faded blue jeans, and white pumps covering her feet. "H—How can I help you?" She stuttered."Are you Stacy?" I ask and her eyes grow wider."I don't know anything. Please." She starts with a ramble and I quirk a brow at her, my patience running thin. I push open the door as rude as that was, entering into her home, my eyes searching around for any sign of Selene but there was nothing unless the faint smell of her floral scent. She was indeed here."Where's Jake?" I ask."He's not home and you really should be leaving!" She spits before walking to stand in front of me. Then I notice the dark spots on her arms and neck. She's a victim, I can tell because I know what he's capable of. I know the things he'd done to Selene in the past. How could she have trusted him so blindly?"Tell me where he is. Please
Selene POVI turn to leave the room when a picture caught my sight making me pause for a while before walking towards it. It was resting in a cupboard along with various parcels. Picking the picture up, my heart did a skip. That's me! I'm not saying Jake can't find my picture from the net and frame it because he's a pervert but this...this is a picture of me from college.Back in the days when I started off college. The loner kid with no parents. Before I even met Corby, my dad. And just about the period, I met Blake. He took this picture. The frame falls from my hand shattering then I hear footsteps coming up the steps. I swiftly snatch the picture from the floor."You alright in here?" Jake's head pop in through the door."How did you get this?" I ask instantly, my hands lifting with the picture in it. He steps into the room fully, his hands in his pocket. "Answer me!"
Selene POVWe walk towards the black Jeep, my hand shielding my face from the sun. I slow down when Jake takes the few strides to catch up with us, a smile on his face. "Good to see you again Selene," he said before turning to Kay. "You as well""We've been here for ages" Trust Kay to complain in a sassy way, her arms folded and a small frown on her face. Jake apologizes immediately. "So what's so important about this meeting that it has to happen today or right now for that matter?"Ok, Kay has either got some makeup trial to do or she's supposed to meet Leon. Those can be the only two reasons that she's so edgy. Or she doesn't just feel comfortable right now."It wasn't a formal meeting. More like lunch" Jake said, opening the passenger side of his car."Already had lunch," I say, watching Kay and she had the most ignorant pout ever. One that says
Kay tapped her red bottom heels on the floor impatiently as we waited in front of the gym, for Jake to appear. We've been here for about thirty minutes and no sign of him. She stared into the gym house at some of the guys working out by the corner and I catch her bottom lip between her teeth before she licked her lips."Well, if someone saw you now, they'd think you didn't have a man in your life," I tell her and she cackles, flinging her blonde hair over her shoulder."It's just amusing to see a lot of shirtless guys in one place and working out...look at all that sweat dripping...""Kay!" I interrupt her with a small laugh. "I am so telling Leon on you"She stuck her tongue out before folding her arms. "He's never almost even home" I hear Kay grumble under her breath before she starts walking away and I follow after her. We get into the car, she in the driver seat, her hands tapping on
"Strip" were the words he said next and I stared at him baffled. What?. I stand still waiting for him to say something else or more, do something. Maybe get up from the chair so we can walk upstairs. "Strip for me" that same command again."Fabrico... you're drunk""I want you to. Whether I'm sober or not...you think I can't appreciate you in my drunk state?" He winced, placing his hand on his head having a headache or a concussion."It's getting late""So you should strip now...come here" he stretched his hand out to me and I take it. He pulls me to his legs, both his hands, cup my cheek before he captured my lips in a haste and I give in immediately because I can't say no to him.Somehow my body always knows how to subject to him whether I'm in a good state of mind or not. He has that kind of power. No more are his hands on my cheeks because they're now holding my
Emiliano POVHow can I Fuck up so bad like this? I thought I'd reached my height of fuck up when I almost screwed Fabrico and Selene over years ago but this is the greatest height of fuck up because I'm fucking up the best thing I have going on for me and that is Vanessa.She's seating with Russo while he arranges a new collection of balls and toy cars he got. Vanessa stares at me when I walk the room, a strange emotion on her face and my chest squeeze. Fuck! I better not ruin this more than I have."Russo, go meet Tio downstairs. I want to have a word with aunt Vanessa" I say and he walks out of the room in silence. I know he's not a child anymore and he's beginning to understand some things going on around him. Maybe he can collect the fact that his mother is a slut too."Nessa..."She stands up abruptly and walks to me. "You don't have to explain anyth
Fabrico POVKaren poured us both tea before nesting in her red sofa, sighing. She's told me all about the divorce and how she's getting along with it. She's not fine with it because she wants her boys to have both parents especially Alvin who's already Eighteen and need a dad in his life now more than ever. In my heart, I pray this never happens with me and Selene. I don't even see it happening."Where's Alvin?" I ask her and she finally looked up from her teacup after a while of looking down."He's at school...you know it's his last month as senior before he goes off to college so he's got so many planned stuffs, especially with that girlfriend of his"I guess I never thought about Alvin having a girlfriend. He's always that sweet little boy I used to know and play with even when I and his mother were having an affair."Well, he's all grown up now. I'm sure he can handle
