CHAPTER THREE

MY MAN

~ Third person pov~

"Hell no” she mentally slapped herself for even thinking about something that absurd. In as much as she wants to continue torturing Gina, she didn’t want anyone to steal Alexander away from her.

"Who destroys their own family with their own hands? definitely not me" Selena thought

Even though Gina looks shabby most of the days, there's no way to completely hide her beauty. It is still very much visible.

Her face, smile and curves are killing, who would not fall for her?

Thinking about everything triggered Selena's anger and she yelled. Soon Yvonne ran into the dinning area because of the loud noise of shattering plates.

"What's wrong baby? are you hurt? don't you like the food?" Yvonne panicked, checking for any injuries on her daughter's body

"Enough" Yvonne got startled by her baby's scream.

"Enough with all this, why did you have to give birth to Gina? what was so special about her father that you could not keep it in your pants? that you had sex with him?" Selena yelled, her face red from anger.

She was tired of constantly having to convince herself that she's not inferior to that bitch. Tired of seeing her face.

"I'm sorry dear, I'm so sorry my baby. It was part of the plan" Yvonne whispered, feeling a lump in her throat.

"Stop it. What stupid plan huh? There were other ways to go about your plan but I guess hurting me too is also part of it" Selena looked at her mother with scorn.

"No baby, you know that's not true. What do you want mummy to do? I promise to do it" Yvonne pleaded not wanting her second child to hate her too.

"That's a good question woman. I want Gina to be destroyed. I want her to wallow in misery for the rest of her life, for her to remain inferior forever. I want her to lose her will to live" Selena hates to admit that she's inferior.

"Mummy will handle it" Yvonne assured her child

"Good, that's what mothers do" Selena grinned evilly

"Uhm... baby I have to meet up with Alexander's grandmother today to discuss your wedding"

"Really? have they finally made their decision?" Selena smiled widely as if she wasn’t about to burn down the house few seconds ago and this scared her mother but didn’t say a word.

"You know you've always the best and only option. You're second to none my dear"

"I know. You should get going mum. You don't want them to think we aren't serious about the wedding" Selena began to push her mother out of the house.

"Yes...yes sweetie, I'm right on it" with that Yvonne kissed her daughter's cheek before leaving the house

"Finally it is happening, I am getting married to my man. I have to prep myself for the wedding night, can't believe we've not had sex for the past 3 years we started dating.

Though Alexander is 28, he acts like a 7 years old child when it comes to matters concerning intimacy.

I've been waiting for years now I can't wait for Alex to explore every inch of my body." Selena thought, her face turned red from all of her naughty thoughts.

She was about going upstairs when the doorbell rang.

She grumbled as she had to do it herself, since Gina isn’t around. She opened the door, revealing Alexander, looking ravishing as always. Selena smile brightly while hugging him.

"Can't believe this man is all mine", Selena did a little dance in her head before jumping on the man.

"Hello baby, you didn't tell me you were coming" she pouted

Meanwhile Alex was still in shock, he didn't expect to meet Selena at home.

Gina told him she was on a business trip and wouldn't be back untill next week.

"Hi" his deep voice vibrated sending shivers down Selena's spine.

"There's no way I'm getting used to this" she giggled

Alex didn't want Selena to be suspicious of anything, so he acted normal despite the fact that she is all  touchy right and it disgusted him so much.

He has never been a women's man but only for Gina. Can this whole sham end already.

"I wanted to surprise you and I guess it worked" he smiled lightly.

"It did work but how did you know I’m back, I didn’t tell you" Selena grinned.

Alexander was thrown off guard, he possibly couldn’t say he came to see Gina, as that was the worst thing to do. He quickly thought of a convincing lie and spilled it.

I missed you so much, that I tracked your phone and it showed that you arrived" he said,

Selena searched him with her eyes. "But you didn't get me anything" Selena became suspicious.

Tactfully, Alexander hid the jewelry that he bought for Gina. There's no way he is going to give that which belongs to his baby to someone so undeserving.

"I'm sorry, I was too excited that I forgot to get you something on my way" Alexander lied through his teeth, not feeling an ounce of remorse.

"I forgive you" Selena blushed because Alexander looks cute apologizing.

She pulled him to the living room and together they sat down.

Awwwwn. Thank you so much baby” She laughed kissing his lips. 

Suddenly the door opened revealing Gina carrying multiple bags containing groceries. She was famished, exhausted and sweating profusely after walking for hours.

Gina got excited when she spotted Xander's car that she got energized for a moment but the scene in front of her is what she least expected.

Why is Selena here? why is she back? what happened to her shoot? several questions were running through her head.

Seeing that it was Gina, Selena continued kissing Alexander but this time more hungrily.

Alexander tried pulling away from Selena after few attempts, he succeeded.

"Good afternoon sir, ma'am " Gina greeted mumbled before going to the kitchen.

Alexander could feel the pain in Gina's voice and could see the hurt in her eyes.

"I'm starving, is there any available food?" Alexander faced Selena

"Oh, no baby" she quickly blurted out

Alexander knew Selena was lying. There's always food in the house because Gina makes sure of that.

"How about you tell Gina to make me some" he further pushed

"There's no need to eat her tasteless meals. I know of a new restaurant in town and believe me when I say their meals are so good" she smiled

He really wanted to eat his woman's food but this bitch is making it difficult 

"But Selena..." Selena cut him off.

She planted a soft kiss on his lips before dragging him out.

 There's no way she's gonna let Alexander eat Gina's food and become addicted.

"Wait here, let me take my phone" Selena ran up to her room.

While waiting, Alexander grabbed the facial wipe on the table and wiped his lips after rinsing his mouth.

Shortly, Selena came back and soon they left together of course against Alexander's will.

Seeing that they're out of sight, Gina came out from the kitchen, peeping through the window. Seeing how Selena was throwing herself at him, she got annoyed.

"That's my man bitch" Gina scoffed.

~ Gina ~

To say that I'm hurt would be an understatement. Why? why should I share my man? they keep taking from me without giving anything in return. I am the girlfriend, I'm the woman he loves, so why should I hide? what's so wrong with me that I have to be kept in the dark?

I'm human too, so whyyyyyy?

I have been enduring for years, my life has been hard since papa died. Is it not enough? when will it end? I need a break I also deserve to be happy.

When it seems like the world was crashing down on me, Xander stumbled into my life, he became the light in my dark world. 

I thought I could finally have something they could never have. I thought I could have Xander all to myself, but then again it seems that I was being delusional, that nothing could ever truly belong to me.

I am not an orphan but realistically I am not different from them. I have a mother who is alive and healthy but as the same time I have none. She never liked me though, even when she was still married to papa.

Papa why did you leave me? you were the only true family I had, you left me to wallow in my sorrow alone. You broke my heart, shattered it and left me to the cold hands of loneliness, as unpleasant as it is, I have been stuck in it, shackled by the chains of pain.

Papa you lied to me, you promised to stay with me forever. I love you but I hate you more for your sudden disappearance. My memories of you brings both good and bad feelings. You're truly good at lying. I once thought of escaping this hell hole to travel the world hopefully to see a trace of you.

Everything hurts, everywhere hurts. Who gets to decide who the winner and the looser is. Papa you thought me to play by the rules but those people, have they ever followed the rules? they break the rules and toss it around claiming the wealthy and powerful are not subject to the rules.

So much injustice and prejudice.
