SELENA

It felt like a dream when Orion finally dashed out when he was about to do something sinister after cutting my hair, placing it in a box, and handing it over to his men.

I was grateful his men had called him outside but the sound of gunshots started to echo loudly through the wall as my heart started pounding in my chest at what was going on out there and how I was going to be able to get out of here alive.

I felt weak and powerless strapped to the chair, I had cried so much within the short period of time, that I was starting to feel a migraine on my forehead, I struggled on the chair trying to break free but with each struggle, it felt like the ropes were getting tighter than lose.

Suddenly the door fled open startling me, and there he was.

Aiden.

My fake husband.

He scanned the room frantic as his eyes fell on mine, he stood still not taking a step, his eyes filled with anger and shock.

I was glad to see his face for the first time in my life, I was glad that he had come t

    SELENAI tried to get out of bed but my mother held me in place, "I am sure, the maids must have...." "Someone is screaming mum, something must have happened," I interrupted her getting out of bed. His mother and sister had never come to visit him since I have been staying here or maybe they had and I wasn't aware and Brianna was also receiving treatment. Anything could have happened and I just couldn't sit here quietly and wait for him. I dashed out of my room as my mother followed behind hot on my trail. I was close to the stairs when she grabbed me by the arm stopping me on my track, her eyes looking downstairs to the living room where I could see Aiden, his mum, and sister discussing. There were shards of glass on the floor around them but none of the maids had come out yet to sweep it off, they seemed to be lurking in the shadows eavesdropping on their conversation or waiting for Aiden to call them to do it. "We accepted that you didn't want to marry Natalia because of whate

    AIDENI couldn't believe that my mother had slapped Selena's mother, I knew she was always vicious but I didn't expect her to do that. I should have been upset that Selena had slapped her but I wasn't, a part of me would have done the same but raising my hand on a woman was a big no for me. Instead, I held on to my mother's hand raised in the air as she tried to slap Selena for laying her hands on her. She screamed at me as I held her hand, her eyes widening in shock at my action. I pulled her by the arm dragging her towards the door, she barely came to my house to visit and after some long she came to cause trouble for me. Astrid held on to my hand trying to stop me but I pulled her along as well."Please don't do this brother," Astrid pleaded. I was sure she didn't want to be here but my mother had dragged her along."I don't want to ever see the both of you in my house," I warned as I shoved them out, my mother staggering back as Astrid grabbed onto her. I signaled the two body

    AIDENThey walked up to my father and two other men, pulling them by the arm to stand up as my father threw me a dagger stare. "Mr. Frazier, you are arrested for money laundering and Wire Fraud," the police announced. The two other me were surprised as they struggled to stop the police from cuffing them, "What is going on?" One of them yelled."You are arrested for being an accomplice to the charges levied against Mr Frazier," the police officer said as they cuffed him and dragged him outside alongside the second man who didn't bother to struggle with them. "What have you done?" My father asked already realizing the situation, his voice loud and filled with rage. Everyone in the room suddenly became shocked at what was about to unfold, right in front of their eyes, it was the first time police were barging into our company like this and now they were going to arrest my father but no one dared to say a word. "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be us

    SELENAIt had been three days since the incident with Aiden's mother, that I last saw Aiden. I couldn't tell if he was mad at me for hitting his mother and making plans to dispose of me and get a new wife to satisfy his father's wish, but none of that happened.Instead, my phone, laptop, and other devices were returned to me the next day, my mother and I were also informed by one of his bodyguards that my mother could stay in one of the rooms for the time being and I was also allowed to go out of the mansion and resume schooling but with the bodyguards following me. Confusion was an understatement when they informed me of what Aiden had told them, I couldn't believe that he was giving me the freedom to do as I please not only in his house but outside. My mother was happy by the news and she enquired if we could go home instead to stay but they refused saying our safety was very important to them, and in them they meant Aiden.My safety was important to Aiden.By the second day, I wa

    SELENA "What are you doing?" I gasped trying to free myself from his tight grip, my heart pounding in my chest from the startling feeling I had gotten from the force he had used to pull me towards him. His face contoured as I shoved him off keeping my distance from him with a terrified look. "I am sorry, I didn't mean to do that," he apologized, a frown falling on his face at the realization of what he had just done, even if this wasn't real, I was his cousin's wife, so he didn't have any right to just pull me like that in such an intimate way. "It's fine," I breathed out not wanting to turn the situation into something drastic. "Good day, Vin..." "Selena, I am truly sorry," Vincent apologized again interrupting me. "I just thought it was mutual, I thought my feelings were the same as yours," he continued his face filled with embarrassment. "What...what do you mean?" "I thought you had feeling for me," Vincent said as my eyes widened. "Is that a joke?" I questioned dumbfoun

    SELENA "Yes, we will discuss that as well, everything will be alright," I smiled at her as a knock fell on my door that was slightly opened. It was Sofia. "Ma'am, please come, Master is back and he is bleeding out," Sofia spoke her voice shaking as she ran off. I jumped up from the couch alongside my mother as we rushed out of the room following Sofia, my heart pounding in my chest as we got to the living room. Max and another man had Aiden's arm around their neck as they dragged him on the couch laying him slowly. "Get the first aid kit before the doctor gets here," the man yelled at Sofia as she ran back upstairs to get it. I stood in shock horrified by the sight of Aiden, his face was smudged with blood stains, and the white shirt he also had on was stained with blood. "Ma'am please let us handle it, you can go back to your room," Max pleaded blocking my front from seeing Aiden's face properly. "What is going on?" I asked Max, my voice shaking. I thought Aiden was hel

    AIDENI slowly opened my eyes, fighting through the grogginess. My head throbbed with pain and my body ached with a dull ache. I winced as I tried to move, feeling the stiffness in my limbs. My eyes flickered around the room, taking in my surroundings.As I took in my surroundings, I felt a sharp pain in my side. Lifting up the sheets and saw a bandage on my left side, as the realization struck me that I had been shot. The memory of the incident came flooding back, I had been able to get the Fraziers company fully in my name alongside everything that belonged to my father, I was on my way back from a meeting heading home finally after being away for three days, when my car was ambushed by some thugs which I was certain were sent by my father. We tried to maneuver them but in the end, it resulted in a crossfire between my men and theirs, it would seem that we were already getting the upper hand when I felt lightheaded and went into an unconscious state, the last person I had seen wa

    AIDENAs Selena uttered the dreaded words, my heart sank to the pit of my stomach and I didn't know why. "I want a divorce," she repeated more firmly, looking at me with a resolute expression on her face as she removed her hand from mine placing it to her side. I adjusted on the bed sitting up properly as I could feel my stitch hurting me like it was ripping apart.I knew she had been unhappy in our sham of a marriage for a while, I knew she was unhappy about everything that had to do with me and my family, I knew that since she had been with me things had not exactly been rosy for her.It wasn't also rosy for me having to deal with breaking up with Natalia and hatching a plan to take over my father's company but she didn't deserve to suffer for my past mistakes and future endeavors. I knew she wanted us to go our separate ways as soon as possible, I also didn't want this marriage at first but hearing her say it out loud still came as a shock to me.I had been so busy trying to take

    "Her water just broke," Aiden announced. They all got on their feet, Claire and Astrid rushed to her side helping her stand up as they could see the pain etched on her face, while the men ran to get the car ready. It didn't take long when they arrived at the hospital and she was taken to the theater in excruciating pain, Aiden remained outside the reception with Claire, Astrid, Axel, and Tom before the doctor informed him that he could join his wife."Everything is going to be alright," Aiden reassured her when he entered the ward to find her lying on the bed, her hand extended for him to come hold her. "It hurts so bad," Selena cried out. "Sorry," Aiden replied holding her hand in his firmly and planting a kiss on her forehead. He didn't know how else to comfort her, he could see the pain in her eyes and could only hope the delivery would happen sooner.After hours of labor pain, Aiden holding her hand and trying to soothe her pain with reassuring words, delivery began.Aiden had

    "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
