Selena's heart fluttered as she locked eyes with Aiden, her grip tightening around his hand. Even though his eyes were concealed behind a black mask, she could still sense his penetrating gaze directed solely at her. A hidden smile stretched across her face as she gazed in awe at the impeccably tailored suit he had on. Every line and contour was perfect, accentuating his strong physique and enhancing his undeniable charm.

In that moment, it felt as if the entire ballroom had fallen into a hushed silence, their attention solely fixated on Aiden and Selena.

The glimmering chandeliers overhead seemed to cast an ethereal glow on both of them. Selena couldn't help but feel a surge of pride that the most captivating man in the room was Aiden, her husband.

"You look beautiful Selena," Aiden muttered but Selena didn't reply his compliment, her gaze straight ahead at the four men they were approaching. She had seen three of them on the file Axel had presented to her just incase Aiden memory st

    Aiden's grip on Jeremy's hand tightened, refusing to let go, Jeremy couldn't help but let out a nervous laugh, surprised that Aiden had figured it out. He attempted to free his hand from Aiden's firm grasp, but the grip only tightened.With a nervous smile playing on his lips, Jeremy reassured Aiden, "I promise you, what I have with your sister is far from what you think it is. It's serious, Mr. Frazier."Aiden's gaze remained fixed on Jeremy, searching for any signs of deception as a flash of memory came to his head, he could see himself beating up a young boy and Astrid begging him not to, he blinked and shook his head trying to get the memory off his head. This wasn't the time to have another episode, his gaze left Jeremy to Astrid who had a terrified look on her face, Why had she introduced this man to him as her friend? Did it have anything to do with the memory that had just flashed before his eyes? "Is that true?" He asked Astrid. "I truly care about her, Sir. I would never d

    CHAPTER 130“Say something Selena, your silence is killing me,” Aiden confessed as he twirled Selena around bringing her back closer to him, his hand holding onto her waist.“Why haven’t you died yet?” Selena asked but she didn’t mean it.“What did he say to you?” Aiden asked now that Selena had finally spoken to him, he looked into her eyes waiting for her to say something as a playful smile fell on her face again, and he wondered what could be funny.“I was just thinking about you,” Selena confessed.“Me?”“Yeah, where is Axel? I am yet to see him,” Selena asked, her eyes darting from Aiden’s to the guest, or was he in so much pain, he decided to retire back into his room?“Tell me,” Aiden pleaded.“He said he missed me but I am not sure I heard what he said afterwards because I was thinking about how badly you wanted to hurt him,” Selena said meeting his eyes.“He missed you?”“High school fling.”“I don’t like the sound of that,” Aiden stated placing his hand on her chin as he lea

    “For goodness sake,” Axel yelled as he walked in, rushing back outside and closing the door slightly. “If you guys couldn’t control yourself, you could have just gone to the room, anyone could have walked in,” Axel furrowed his brow. He had noticed Aiden was nowhere to be found when one of the shareholders had informed him that he had yet to speak to Aiden personally.He had asked the guards where Aiden was and they informed him that Aiden and Selena had headed this way, he assumed they were arguing or discussing, not doing what he had just seen, and was likely not going to forget for a very long time.Selena chuckled even though she was slightly embarrassed, she turned around dropping her gown while Aiden hurried to put his length that was still hardened into his pants.“One of the shareholders would love to speak to you, should I keep him waiting or not?” Axel asked waiting by the door.“No, give me a second,” Aiden replied waiting for his length to go down. “Don’t do that,” Aiden l

    "Sebastian," Selena murmured as she stood frozen in her room, her heart pounding against her ribcage, as she watched Sebastian enter instead of Aiden. Shock coursed through her veins, causing her senses to momentarily abandon her. The room suddenly felt suffocating, and every muscle in her body tensed. Had he been watching her? Did he follow her into the room the moment she left the kitchen?Sebastian's presence in her room was unexpected and unwelcome. Finding her voice again, she managed to stammer, "What... what are you doing here? Did... You follow me?" Her words hung in the air with no reply from him.Sebastian's gaze shifted uneasily, sensing the fear pulsating from Selena. "Maybe I did but I wasn't sure if I would find you here," he admitted, his voice filled with a hint of hesitance. "You shouldn't be here." "I thought we could talk and...""Talk? You followed me into my room and just opened the door without knocking to talk?" Selena muttered staring at him perplexed. "I c

    Sebastian screamed out as the bodyguard gagged his mouth quickly with his handkerchief. His eyes widened in sheer terror and pain as he stared at his hand with an open bullet hole bleeding on the floor."Take him to the dungeon," Aiden ordered. The ball was almost over but he didn't want to create a scene and end it all by chasing off his guest. The sight of Sebastian angered him and he didn't trust himself well enough not to lay harm on him again. "Selena," Astrid badged in with Jeremy. She had also heard the scream and couldn't bring herself to just stay back at the ball waiting for Aiden to come back and tell her what had happened. She scanned the room realizing what had just happened at the sight of Selena shivering uncontrollably on the bed and Sebastian's bloodshot eyes, sweating and struggling to contain his pain with a gagged mouth. She couldn't believe her eyes, that Jeremy's brother would do something like this. "Oh my!" She gasped running to Selena's side to comfort her,

    ONE YEAR AGO~ SELENA'S ROOM ~Aiden and Selena laid on the bed naked under the duvet as they cuddled up."There is something I need to ask you," Aiden said in a low voice. "What's that?" Selena asked stretching on him as she raised her head to meet his eyes."I want you to join the Frazier company," Aiden announced. He had been thinking about it for some time now, but he had yet to decide on discussing it with her because he wasn't sure she would accept the offer. "Are you serious?" Selena asked. She didn't know anything about the Frazier's company, she could tell they did some illegal business but she didn't know what exactly. "Yeah, once you agree to it, I will inform my secretary and you can commence work immediately," Aiden replied. "You are serious?""I am," Aiden chuckled. He grabbed her delicate hand in his planting a kiss on it, "I know you don't know much about the business but if you are interested, I will have my secretary put you through on every single thing.""I mea

    “We all lied about how long you were in a coma because the doctor advised that…” Axel tried to explain but Aiden wasn’t having any of it as he paced around the room trying to remember anything. “You told me I was in a coma for two months but it has been a year?” Aiden murmured to himself. “And Selena has been working underground with the company under my name,” Aiden added scratching the back of his head. “Let’s say we all fucked up, okay? Let’s say, we all lied to each other about what is and what isn’t,” Axel said trying to calm Aiden down. “How does this relate to Sebastian?” “I bought his company,” Selena replied. Through Claire’s help, she went through the company's history, her plan at first was to find anything about Marcus her brother because Vincent had told her Aiden knew something about it but digging deeper she realized the company was involved in more illegal dealing than she could imagine and with Aiden in a state of coma, it was a good avenue for his competitions to

    "You are serious?" Claire asked just to be sure Axel wasn't joking around.He barely nodded his head to sign yes when she pulled him in for a hug, of course, she was going to move in with him and travel to another country if that was what he wanted.Everything seemed to be moving too fast when it came to how they felt for each other but for the first time in many years, she felt loved. She didn't feel like she was forcing herself on Axel like she had forced Luke to love her.Axel loved her and she could see it."I am happy for you guys," Astrid squeaked with joy, it had been a while since she last saw Axel looking at a woman the way he looked at Claire. It was like she and Selena weren't even in the room."By the way, there is something I was going to tell you, Axel, I hope I am not ruining the mood," Selena said. "I already told Claire and Astrid yesterday that -""Selena is pregnant," Astrid took the word right out of her mouth. "Are you sure you are not the one who is pregnant?" C

    "Yeah, as friends. I think that would be better for both of us at the moment, I feel there are still a lot of things we don't know about each other and-""Are you joking?" Claire's eyes widened as she adjusted herself on the bed again, her face etched with confusion at Axel's words as her eyes darted from him to his hands on hers."Hey!" Axel placed his hand on her chin raising her head so he could see her face, was she crying? "Claire? I was joking," he laughed out. "I didn't find it funny," Claire smacked his hand off her chin. Axel chuckled at her reaction, "I am sorry, didn't know you were a crybaby.""What? I am not," Claire protested looking away from him. How could he tease her like that? It wasn't her fault that she had thought he was being serious about them being 'just friends' when she was attracted to him. "You look cute when you lie," Axel smirked, he placed his hand on her chin tilting her head gently to face him as he kissed her on the lips. "I will have them bring s

    “Where the hell is she?” Axel yelled grabbing him by the collar, he didn’t want to believe that Claire was dead, the time period was too short for them to kill her and her clothes had no sign of blood stain when he pulled it out from the boot. “Let me off and I will tell you, lover boy,” Vincent laughed. Aiden reached for his phone immediately in his pocket, dialing one of the bodyguards who was back at Emily’s house, “Check around the house, she has to be hidden somewhere,” Aiden ordered on the first ring. “We found her boss. Was about to call you, she is unconscious,” the bodyguard replied. “Alright,” Aiden said disconnecting the call and staring at Axel who was holding back on punching Vincent in the face. “She is alright, we might just need to get her to the hospital, quickly.” “You should have stayed in jail,” Axel said to Vincent punching him in the face as Aiden held him by the waist pulling him back. “Let me go Aiden, we need to end him right now so he doesn’t come back t

    “Claire,” Axel called out staring at Vincent on the laptop, his hand forming into a fist as he caused under his breath. He hadn’t anticipated seeing Vincent, wasn’t he supposed to be in jail awaiting his death sentence? This was the reason he had been against Claire going to see Emily, he reached for the door ready to hop out as Aiden grabbed him by the wrist.“Our men are already circling the building, he can’t get away with it,” Aiden said.“You want me to sit here and allow Vincent to kill her?” Axel asked shoving Aiden’s hand away, he stared at Selena and Astrid who were in disbelief at the sight of Vincent, he opened the van door and hopped out running down the street to Emily’s house.Axel ran down the street as quickly as his legs could take him, he couldn’t believe that Vincent had escaped from jail and worse Emily was working for him, what was she bound to gain from Vincent? That douchebag! He should have shot him dead a long time ago instead of hoping that the system would

    THE NEXT MORNING, Aiden briefed everyone on the plan again in the van a street away from Emily's house, "If you feel uncomfortable at any moment, you just think of an excuse and leave," Aiden reminded Claire."Sure," Claire nodded. Axel walked up to her helping her put on the camera properly over her shirt button, the camera design looked like a button from afar, "this is a recording device," Axel said, placing a pen into the pocket of her shirt. "Axel, can we talk about…" Claire spoke in a low tone. She had been trying to speak to him all morning but he seemed to be avoiding the question, she didn't know why he would just listen to her so she could explain everything to him. "After," Axel cut her off. "Do you have your earbuds on?" He asked instead. "Yeah I do," she nodded, tucking her hair behind her ear so he could see it. "I was going to tell you, believe me," Claire whispered in a low voice. "What part of after don't you understand?"She bit the bottom of her lips, sad by hi

    "I was just joking," Claire brushed it off at the puzzled look on Axel's face, she didn't know why she had blurted something out like that to him. Never in a million years had she asked any man that question, she smiled trying to make him see that she was bluffing."Yes.""What?" She gasped. "You… you will be my boyfriend?""Isn't that what you want? Yes, I will," Axel nodded, kissing her on the lips as her eyes widened in shock, unable to comprehend that Axel just agreed without any hint of hesitation in his voice.She watched him get out of bed and into the bathroom as she scratched the back of her head, playing back what had just happened in her head. She was about to get out of bed when the door opened with Astrid entering, she dashed out back at the sight of Claire lying naked on the bed."I am so sorry, please I didn't mean to badge in, I am so sorry," Astrid apologized. "Shit," Claire cursed, she could have sworn she used the key when locking the door or was it Axel who locked

    "Don't start what you can't finish," Claire whispered. "What?" Axel chuckled. "Don't look at me like that, you just end up stealing kisses when you want to and I think that should stop," Claire said standing up but she soon came crashing into the bed as Axel grabbed her by her wrist. He grabbed her by the waist shoving her on the bed as he hovered over her, "What naughty ideas have you been thinking while I was away?" He asked with a smirk on his face. "Don't flatter yourself, mister.""So, you didn't think about my lips on yours while I was away?" Axel teased. Claire stared at him trying not to give him the benefit of the doubt but her face was suddenly turning red and she could tell from the smile on his face, darn her face.Maybe she had thought about him and she didn't know why exactly, it wasn't like Axel was laying claim on her but he had kissed her like he was, she didn't want to assume his feelings for her, it was best to stop him from kissing her any chance he got but now
