SELENA

I closed the door behind me but I was still skeptical, what was it that she wanted to talk to Aiden that she didn't require my presence, I stood by the door in hopes of maybe hearing their voices but I couldn't hear anything.

They seemed to be talking in a low voice, trying not to make a sound, I pressed my ear to the door and strained to hear any trace of their conversation.

But I was left disappointed. I couldn't pick up a single word. Maybe they had moved to another part of the room or lowered their voices to stay private.

I sighed and walked back to my room, feeling a little frustrated. I had been hoping to learn more about why my mother was here and what she wanted to discuss.

Maybe I was just being paranoid, but his sudden appearance had made me anxious.

I sat on my bed the moment I walked into my room closed the door behind me and pondered over my thoughts. Maybe it was about our marriage, I decided I would ask her about it once she was done speaking to him.

After that

    SELENAI waited for a reply but I didn't get any, it seemed I had asked the wrong question, I decided to dial the number, I called the number in hopes of being able to speak to the person directly but the phone was switched off after the second ring. It was obvious the person had switched off the phone but who could this person be, who else knew of Marcus? Who else would threaten my mother like that?As I thought of it, it finally came to my head, my father's stupid mistress or rather his wife now. My father had been cheating on my mother with his mistress for years, she even knew my mother and me and my sister because my father discussed us with her but we never knew her until my father came home one day to announce that he was getting married. It had been shocking to me and Brianna because we thought he wanted a second wife but turns out he and my mother had been processing to get a divorce right under our noses, I wasn't surprised because I had always hoped she would end the marr

    SELENAI couldn't believe what my mother had just said. Did she just say the word cancer? My mind was racing a million miles a minute as I tried to process the information."Are you joking?" I asked her, hoping that it was just some sick prank. I chuckled trying to laugh off the tension that was already building up in me. But my mother shook her head. "No, Selena. I'm not joking. I got diagnosed two months ago."My little chuckle vanished from my face as I stared at Aiden to see if he knew about it and from his look, he knew, this information wasn't surprising to him.I looked back at my mother as tears filled my eyes, when did this happen? How? Why? I cried out as I hugged my mother tightly. I couldn't imagine what she must have been going through all this while and I didn't notice any signs of it. My mind wouldn't in a million years have even thought that she would have cancer, my own mother had cancer. I had just lost Brianna and I wasn't planning on losing her, I hugged her tig

    SELENA"We have conducted an autopsy test on her," Aiden's doctor said as we got outside. "I don't think it has any connections with Orion and Vincent, I believe Vincent just took the fall, he lied to Natalia.""What are your findings?" "Shocking to say," the doctor said staring at me and then Aiden as we stood firmly waiting for him to tell us what it was, he cleared his throat looking at Aiden as he blurted out, "She was pregnant.""What?" I questioned suddenly I felt numb as the doctor's words registered in my mind. Brianna who passed away a few days ago, was pregnant? How was that even possible?I couldn't wrap my head around this new information. Was she hiding it from us? Did she know she was pregnant? How did she get pregnant? She didn't have any boyfriend that I knew of and she sure didn't look like she was adding any weight. Did my mother know about her pregnancy? Did she even have a boyfriend? So many questions raced through my mind.I turned to the doctor, "Are you sure?"

    "If that is all you should leave," her boyfriend yelled at her going back inside as she held his hand quickly stopping him on his track. Even though she was angry at his words she couldn't let him off so easily. She had been terrified when she found out she was pregnant, she couldn't even tell her mother or sister about it because she knew they would be disappointed in her. They weren't even aware that she had a boyfriend.He was the only one she could run to for help right now, he was the father of the child and he was going to take responsibility for it. He was going to do whatever was necessary to make sure that she doesn't become a disgrace to her mother. He was going to have to accept this child. It was painful enough that everyone in the area thought of her mother as a wretched woman who could keep her husband but allowed him to go ahead and marry another woman, she didn't blame them though because they didn't know how often her father would maltreat her mother. Now that sh

    AIDENMy mind was clouded with what the doctor had said as we drove to the hospital, I stared at Selena at intervals and she seemed lost in thought, unable to say a word and I really couldn't blame her. For a moment I placed myself in her shoes and imagined my sister Astrid was dead and turned out pregnant, I couldn't process the thought. Just looking at her face, I could see the pain she was passing through, her whole world crumbling before her eyes. Her sister was died, her mother was dying from cancer and her father's mistress was threatening them to stay away. It was all my fault and I wished I could just take it all away with a swipe of my hand, I wish I could take all the pains and agony she was feeling away, I wish I could make her happy, not for a second or a moment but for eternity. She was hurting and it seemed like it wasn't going to stop, I had seen how drained she was when they revealed her dead sister's body to her, she seemed unfazed, unable to cry anymore but now w

    AIDENThe man's eyes widened from my order to have his pinky finger removed, even my men had not expected me to be so vile with my words but no one dared to say a word. I watch as Axel swiftly brought out his pocket knife, its glint reflecting in the dimly lit alleyway. I was certain the man's heart was racing with a mixture of fear and adrenaline. I knew Axel had been waiting for us to get into business, torturing was always more delightful to him than actually killing someone off. Axel grabbed him by the hand, placing the pocket knife over the finger as he chopped it off with one swipe, the man opened his mouth to scream but one of my guards rushed in placing a piece of cloth in his mouth.Axel grabbed his hand still chopping off his ring finger as well immediately, the man's eyes widened as he screamed shaking on the chair, his eyes red as he continued to scream but due to the gag, all we could hear was muffled sounds. His eyes watered with tears as he continued to scream, I sm

    SELENAFor some odd reason, I didn't want Aiden to leave me all alone in the car, I wanted to follow him and be a part of the mission. I also feared that something could happen to me if I was left alone out here.The trauma of being kidnap was still imprinted in my memory and I couldn't imagine just sitting alone in an open space like this, I had always thought being confined in Aiden's house was bad but I will rather be locked up and safe than outside, and not safe.Aiden's words were reassuring before he left me all alone in the car with Max but I was still on high alert as I watched him walk up to Axel, they talked for a while before Aiden and him stepped inside still talking to each other.My eyes remained locked on the uncompleted building, I wasn't dumb, I knew what Aiden meant when he said he wanted to interrogate the man I just hoped they weren't both planning to do anything craze. As much as I wanted to get justice for my sister and I didn't want to involve anyone innocent a

    SELENA"Take us home Max," Aiden ordered as Max nodded starting the engines. We spent the next hour in utter silence and by the time we got home it was already night time. Aiden excused himself but I was sure he went to find out about Natalia since she was still in his library. I wanted to ask him what had happened in there and the gunshot but I could see he was upset, did he watch the footage of Vincent and me together in the living room discussing? Was that what had upset him I thought as I opened the room of my mother slightly to see if she was asleep or she was still awake. Brianna's pregnancy was still on my mind and I didn't know if my mother was aware of it, but I was sure she wasn't because if she was she would have made mention of it. No matter how angry my mother would have been over Brianna getting pregnant she would have never abandoned her daughter. I looked in, "Mum," I muttered but got no response as I could see her sleeping already, I smiled at the sight of her sle

    "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
