Semua Bab HIS SECOND CHOICE: Bab 1 - Bab 10

"What a day?" Selena mutters as she dropped a piece of paper that was given to her earlier. She had been out hunting for jobs since she relocated to California in the United States, she had left all that she had known while growing up and her family in Italy. She was beginning to lose hope that she would never be able to find a job here after several rejections from different companies. This was her last hope or she have no choice but to go back home, she already spent most of her savings to feed and that wasn't the plan.She desperately needed a change, cause for the past few years all she had to take was rejection from different angles, the worst rejection she had to face was when her now ex-boyfriend Howard chose someone else over her, that was probably the hardest pain she has had to endure over the past five years. Just this job and she would be the happiest person on earth. She wants a job that was going to earn her enough for her and her family which she had left back home in It

As Selena walked back home in the lonely street she got really scared cause if not for Howard it would have been a different story entirely, she ran into her apartment and was breathing heavily, she closes the door behind her and drops herself on the floor.She was restless throughout the night, replaying the events of that day she knew something was off from the very moment she woke up from sleep that morning, the day felt strange, and she didn't know it was going to end like that at the end of the day. She has heard stories of girls getting assaulted and some were even killed after that. She couldn't wait any longer to get a good job and leave this area the crime here was just too high and just that night she would have been recorded as another victim.She couldn't wait for it to be tomorrow already, maybe some good news might finally come into her lonely and boring life.It was the next day, she doesn't remember how she had slept off even with the fear and worry in her heart. The

Howard was so shocked to see Selena at his office, "fuck" he growled as he kicked his chair.He had been with her long enough to know just what she must have thought of the situation. He hoped she wasn't the one who had been chosen to be his secretary. That would put him in an even more difficult situation he called Mr. John and just as he had thought. Selene had been selected."Did she turn down the offer? "he asked in hopes that she had refused to work there after seeing him, not in a million years did he ever think this was going to happen, What was she even doing in California I ln the first place?"No sir, is anything the problem?" Mr. John asked."No it's nothing," he said and hung up the call.She thinks he had her followed on that day, he wouldn't fire her or it was going to make it appear petty.Today was one of the days where he had to be with Evelyn but for some unknown reasons, he is reluctant. He reaches her place and Evelyn wasn't home. How dare she break the rules of th

"And why do you think I am going to let you go back to that place, your life is in danger there."Selena suddenly felt sad, he was right that the place she lived in was dangerous and those people are quite familiar with her now, there was no way this last attack would be her last, luckily she is still alive, all thanks to Howard. She admired him, even more, she wished to have a conversation with him concerning their breakup but she wasn't going to do that."You are right, I think I should just go back home." she dints know how but she knew she needed to.The words broke his heart into pieces even though he had wished not to be around her."Why?"She didn't want to be here explaining how miserable her life was to her ex."It's nothing, I just want to go back home ", she tried as much as she could to sound sad about her decision but Howard could tell she wanted the complete opposite of what she was saying. The truth was he didn't want her around either.To his surprise, she started cryi

She woke up to a bright and sunny day, It was beautiful outside as she reached the windows, she looked up and still couldn't believe her dad was gone for real, she was in her feelings this morning, last night she had sat down to have some conversations about their lives apart from each other, they could pass as besties if strong feelings weren't attached.Although there was tension between the both of them and the urge to be wrapped in each other's arms. She walks to the kitchen and was happy at the sight of it, she wasn't sure yet but she was always so excited about going to the kitchen since she came here. She had slept in this big house alone, although she had wished he would have spent the night he didn't. He left late which made her feel bad, he was willing to go back home that late rather than just spend the night with her as it was her first day in that house. The only thing he did was hire security to hang around just in case, cause they weren't sure yet if those things had g
