It was beautiful. I could cry. I wonder why he didn't smile often.The corner of his mouth softens as his smile brightens his face. I could sit here and watch him smile all day and I will not be satisfied.I wonder what made him hard and cold. The only person I've realized that he relaxes for is Trina.His smile warmed my heart and made me so happy, I smiled back at him. “You are smiling." I said in daze.He shrugged his shoulders and looked at me, his eyes dancing with mischief. "People pay to see me smile Mrs Stone, this is a gift from me to you.” He said.I was surprised by his response, that it took some time for me to reply back. “Well, thank you for this gift Mr Stone." I said teasingly.He shook his head in silent laughter and looked at.“If I knew getting into an accident would bring a smile out of you, I would have done it sooner." I said again, with the purpose of teasing him.But that was the wrong thing to say because the smile and twinkle in his eyes closed up.“Do not sa

The function was in full swing, Max had left me to quickly talk business with some associates. I navigated the room, it was full of people who mattered and belong to the upper class. I felt out of place and decided to stay in a quiet corner, taking a moment to gather my thoughts and really take in the beauty of this room. Suddenly a familiar voice, a voice I would know anywhere because we had been Friends for a long time interrupted my solitude.“Selena, you are here?” It was June my fake best friend. The way she mentioned my name with surprise like she could not believe I would be in a place like this. Did she forget I was married to the Max Stone.“June,” I replied keeping my voice cold and guarded. “Why won't I? I was invited." I said with pride.She had recovered from her surprise, now she gave me a calculating and too bright smile. June has always been calculative, I had not seen too much to it because I had thought she was my friend and she did not mean any harm but now I know

“He said he was wrongly fired, that what happened to you was not his fault but Mr Stone did not listen to him." The detective replied.“I know him Detective, he was my driver. After I got married to my husband, he has been my driver. I can believe he will do something like this. He was nice to me.”I have to stop expecting everyone to be good. People were not as they seem, at least I know that much from my experience.“But Detective, how can a man plan something like this, what if there is someone else in the background.” I continued. “We don't think so ma'am. It is clear it was a case of revenge. You can be rest assured he is going away for a long time. You are safe ma’am.”"Does he have any family or close friends? If they decided to come back and finish what he started, then what.” I asked, although I was still sure he couldn't be the one that had a motive to kill Max.“He has a child, a daughter and she is 16. No relatives, so you don't have to worry about that.” the detective as

“Who could have done such a thing?” I asked, this was unexpected. Something was happening we did not have a clue on what it was.“The police are looking into it, but detective Morris said it was an inmate. He said it was a prison fight. I don't like where this is going. I will need to increase the security around the house and the ones that go with you and Trina.” Max answered, getting up from the bed to pace around the room."I don't need more bodyguards Max, you were shot not me.” The ones that were following me around were enough, I certainly did not need more.Max's face hardened and he shook his. " For my own peace of mind please don't argue with this.”I raised my hands up in surrender and agreed. I know even without my agreement they will just follow me secretly."Thank you for agreeing to this, I don't know who is doing this but I intend to find out.” “Do you think it is June, she has resources and she hates me." I asked. June was the first person I had suspected when the det

“No I was not, why will you ask that?" I replied, touching my face to see if I had really been crying."Your eyes are red and watering. Is something the problem, was it those people again.” Max clenched his fist, anger dancing in his eyes. “No it was not, I was not crying Max. Nothing is wrong." I turned to Mrs Rolly and said "can please get Trina from her room, she has been playing with her dolls since I got here.”"Yes ma'am.” Mrs Rolly nodded and left."There is uhm… something I need to discuss with you.” I spoke to Max immediately Mrs Rolly was out of earshot.“What is it about, you know you can tell me anything. You are my wife." Max took my hands that were laid by my side and gave it a squeeze.“It's not really a problem, I'll tell you later, I just need to gather my nerves." My parents were putting me in an awkward position.Maybe I could just ask for an advance at work and give it to them. They will not be satisfied with that, especially my father. He will keep on asking, if
