"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

    SELENA"What do you mean my sister has been kidnapped from the hospital?" I yelled at Axel, staring at him and then back at Aiden to see if it was a joke they were trying to play on me. Since Brianna had been admitted to the hospital, I had not seen her because each time I wanted to, I was told it wasn't yet the right time. Even my mother didn't want me to see her just yet, I wasn't happy about it but I kept my mind at ease because I knew it was Aiden's doctor attending to her and that she would be better soon."While you were being ambushed, they raided the hospital," Axel explained. "The ambush was just a diversion."I felt as though the world around me was spinning out of control at Axel's words. My mind was racing, and my heart was beating so loud and fast that I could hear it in my ears. I felt hot tears wailing in my eyes as they streamed down my face without control as I tried to process what was happening."No, no, no," I gasped, shaking my head back and forth. "This can't b

    SELENA"That is a lie," I yelled standing on my feet, I stared at Axel waiting for him to take back his word but he stared at me his face filled with confusion.I turned to Aiden and held Aiden's cloth tightly, unable to control the tears that streamed down my face. My heart felt like it had been ripped into a million pieces as I heard the devastating news that my sister was dead.I thought I had lost my voice from the panic attack but the moment I opened my mouth a loud cry escaped my lips as I hit Aiden's chest repeatedly, my body wracked with sobs.My mind couldn't comprehend the reality of what had happened. My sister, who was my best friend, was gone, forever. The memories of our childhood flashed before my eyes, the laughter and the tears we had shared. The promises we made to each other, the promises I made to her, to protect her always."I hate you so much," I cried out hitting him on his chest, my voice cracking, "I hate you."I felt Aiden's arms wrap around me, pulling me in

    AIDEN"Selena," I yelled as I brought my head out of the water, I couldn't see her, I dived back in and I found her struggling to swim to the surface, I couldn't tell if she couldn't swim or if the shock had stopped her from being able to swim to the surface. I grabbed her by the waist pulling her up as we breathed out heavily. She held on to me tightly, her face darkened and then it dawned on me that it wasn't shock, she couldn't swim. "Calm down, you are going to drag us back in," I pleaded as I felt myself going back in against my control and my stitches ripping apart with her tight grip."You are bleeding," she yelled as the pool water was turning red. She instantly let go of me as she sank into the water struggling yet again to swim, I dived in pulling her back up as I groaned in pain.I tried to swim forward but I felt my stomach tearing apart instead, as we both struggled to stay afloat. When she had pulled me in, I had tried to pull her back but it was already too late. "Ai

    AIDENAfter the doctors had examined and restitched my wound, I spent the night in my bed twirling around and thinking about all that had happened during the day, it was night time already but I just couldn't get myself to fall asleep no matter how hard I tried.My mind kept drifting back to Selena and what had happened in the pool, how repulsively she had looked at me alongside her mother, I needed to do something about all of this at once.If they could kill her sister, then she wasn't safe and her mother also wasn't safe, I needed to protect them and keep them safe and alive, I couldn't just sit down and watch any danger come before them.I had informed Axel before he left to make his findings on Orion immediately since he was the one he suspected would do something like that and not my father but in the middle of the night, I was tempted to call him to ask for an update on his findings.A knock soon fell on my door and when I opened my eyes it was already morning, the sun ray beam

    AIDENI watched as Natalia's eyes suddenly brimmed with tears from my question.I knew how much she wanted us to come back together, if she was going to be helping me, I was sure she was fully aware that indirectly she was helping Selena. Even though Natalia was my first ex-girlfriend, I knew well enough that in a relationship, no sane person would want to help the wife of someone they loved when they knew it would not be beneficial to them.She took a deep breath and pleaded, "Aiden, please. I know things between us have been complicated these past few months, but I don't want to lose you completely. Even if we can't be in a romantic relationship, can we at least be friends? I still want to be there for you like you have been for me in the past."Friends? She wanted us to be friends? Could I be friends with Natalia, it hadn't even crossed my mind that I would want to remain friends with her after everything. I didn't know why but I wasn't moved by her words, I couldn't tell if it w

    "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
