I stood speechless, my mouth opened as I watched Max.

“Is it something I can do, will I be able to go through with it?” She thought out loud.

"Yes you will, do you know why?, because looking at you, I know you can accomplish anything you set your eyes on." Max answered her.

“You know I was not talking to you." But I could not deny how his words just made me feel… powerful. I no longer felt small and stupid, but can I trust this stranger?.

“I'll do it, let's get married." “I'll sign the contract and you are going to keep your end of the bargain, you will help me." 

"You can be certain that I'll do anything for you.” Max replied with a smirk on his face.

This stranger was a puzzle, one that I was going to solve but before that she had to ask a question that's been on my mind since this conversation started.

“What do you get out of this?"

Max shook with laughter before answering, "I'm getting you as a wife, is that not enough?” He sombered immediately, revealing a predatory gleam in his eyes. “Let’s just say I have my reasons for wanting Daniel and June to suffer.” 

I realized that was the only explanation I was getting. Well it didn't matter anyway, He was here to help and right now I could not bring myself to care about his intentions.

“So when are we going to getting married?” I asked.

“Right now.” He replied, that smirk back on his face, as he watched for my reaction.

"Okay, I agree.” "Let's go.”

We walked back into the church, where we met the Minister who was supposed to officiate my wedding. Pain pierce through my heart as I remembered.

“I would like for you to join us together.” Max asked the man. The minister stood staring at me. 

"If that's what she wants.” The minister said pointing at me. I nodded. "It is what I want Sir.”

"If it is what you want, come this way, let's begin.”

I thought about how my life has changed in just a day, and the day is not yet over. I thought about the man standing before me, I thought about my parents, how they never loved me but only what I could bring to the house.

I thought about Daniel, how I promised, I will always love him forever and how that love was thrown back in my face

I was getting married, not to Daniel but to Max, a very strange man.

“You may now kiss the bride." I heard the minister say. Wow! I was married. I had gotten married not for love but for revenge.

Max gave me a peck on the cheek and I was glad for that. I was not ready to kiss him. “Let's go." he said to me.

We both left the church, standing outside. I was nervous, very nervous. There was nothing I could do now. I do not have the time for regrets. What is done is done. 

“We will go to my car, then sign the papers, you will be able to go home, pack your stuff and come to my place, my driver will assist you with everything." Max was speaking to me. 

" Yeah, yeah…” I was too stunned to speak.

"Selena are you alright, let's sit down, my car is not far from here, you can take your time to get yourself together, there's no problem.”

“I'll like that, Thank you."

We walked to his car, he handed a bottle of water to me, and I drank from it, then he left me to get myself together.

After a while he came back, handed me the contract, which stated that they will be together for two years, and he will help me with his resources and that they will not be hiding the marriage not from anyone. 

I agreed to it all, after signing, the driver took me to my small apartment, Max and the driver, whose name I plan on knowing, helped me pack my things.

I did not know how many hours it took, it felt like forever and then we were on our way to Max's house.

I wondered if we were going to stay in the same room, I had forgotten to ask about that.

“Sir, we are here.” The driver said.

“Selena, we are here.” I could feel someone shaking me, I had fallen asleep, when?...I wondered if it was the events of the day that had made me this tired. 

I came down from the car, and stared at the building before me, it was totally different from what I thought someone like Max would live in.

This was a family oriented house, has Max always lived here or was this something he just put together. Was he a family oriented man? I put those questions at the back of my mind, I was going to find out. I will learn more about him, his secrets and all.

“Welcome to my home, Selena." “ Or should I say our home, this is where we will be living, together as husband and wife, I hope you like it." “ If there is something you want to add or remove, feel free." Max said with a smile in his voice.

We went in, and I was loving every bit of the house. It was something I had always dreamed of, living in a house like this, and now it had come to pass.

I could feel Max watching me, taking in my reaction to everything I was seeing. I saw him open his mouth, he was about to say something.

"Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, you are home." I saw a girl not older than four running towards Max. 

Max carried the little girl, balancing her on his waist and smiled at her, a full blown smile, I was stunned. Max turned to me and said. “Selena meet my daughter, Trina."

    EPILOGUEFour Years Later“You look beautiful, love, but Trina's impatience to see you is going to make Mrs Rolly have more gray hair.” I laughed, “I'm almost done." Max grabbed me by the waist and just kept on looking at me.“You know I am not done, you have to let me go.” I said, seeing he was not letting go."What's remaining? Your jewelry?”"Yes.”"I can help with that.” He took the jewelry box he had bought last week for this specific function and put it round my neck.I was putting on a white flowing gown, my neck and shoulders were not covered and the scar of the gunshot wound was still visible.Thinking about that kidnapping sent a shiver down my spine. “Are you cold?" “No, I just remember what happened to give me this scar."Max's face changed, Heather told me how Max almost gave up and he went over the edge. The months that went by after that were so bad. I was in the hospital for two months because I fell into a coma. Waking up and I was told June died, after she shot me

    I regained consciousness to find myself tied to a chair. I still felt dizzy from whatever was used to make me lose consciousness in the first place and had a blasting headache. I shook my head to clear my head.I looked around and it was like I was in an empty warehouse. My life couldn't have felt anything less that good right now. I can't believe I've been kidnapped, in my current emotional state.I hadn't the faintest idea why I was…wherever I was. It seemed ridiculous that I would be anyone’s personal ransom bait, and I couldn’t see how anyone would know where I was at the moment I was taken. But to somebody, it must have been quite a work. I wondered what my abductor could want from me, I tried thinking about any possible person that could hate me enough to kidnap me and the only set of people that came to mind was June and Daniel and I did not think they had the guts to do this.There was a gag converting my mouth, catching sight of the camera on the wall across from me for the

    “You are lying. You are a liar, I don't believe anything you say." I screamed at him, my body shaking. Why will he hurt me like this? “I’ve loved you Max and you lie to me. Why?”"Please Selena, I'm not lying. I swear I'm not.” He moved from where he was to take my hand and I swatted him away."Don't touch me. Don't touch me, you have no right to. You kept quiet about so many things, you knew I worked at your company but you said nothing…” tears dropped from my eyes as I remembered the remaining things he had just said.“You…” I tried to continue but my throat closed up, anger and the sob trying to break out didn't help."I know I lied, please I know that but baby I couldn't tell you. I was afraid, afraid if I told you I've seen you for years before we got married you wouldn't want anything to do with me. That you will be wary, so I pretended to be a stranger, I pretended to not show I am in love with you but…”I couldn't take any more of his explanation. “Stop!! Just stop. I don't ca

    We watched her sleep for a few minutes before we left to go to our own room, holding hands. Today has been perfect, from the good news that Max gave me of Stella not being in cahoot with Daniel and June to the best dinner date.“She’s perfect, very perfect.” I said to Max because it has truly been."I know I tell you everyday, but you raised an angel.”“I know, I'm so proud of her. She is just four going five in some months and she has a good head on her shoulders. I'm happy she was drawn to you immediately and you are perfect Selena. You are good for her.”I smiled at him, happy she did too and happy he sees me this way. “Well, it's good her crazy mother left. Do you still keep track of her?"The situation with Heather was still fresh in my mind. Especially how June wanted to use her against me, it was with planning and all we prevented her from meeting Trina again after she almost gave me a heart attack when she met Trina at school. "Always, until I'm sure she is not going to cause

    He raised his head as he stepped out of the elevator and looked at me with a wide smile. I walked up to him and gave him a big kiss, not caring about the audience then I hugged him.His eyes were filled with love as he stared at me and took my bag to hold it. We walked out of my company building, thankfully there were less paparazzi as the day went by.We waited for the car to come around and we entered into his car with a driver at the driver's seat.“How was your day? Was there any trouble?" He asked, taking my hands in his as he caressed them.“It was good, just too much workload. Then you gave me the news. Ehe… about that, I'm just glad she is clean and not in cahoot with them. She was down today and I asked what happened, so I could help.”My train of thoughts stopped and I got distracted by his eyes, as he gave me his undivided attention. He noticed and a smirk appeared on his face.I know even if he wanted me to go back to my everyday life, he was still worried about me. That's

    “Let him in. I guess, what he has to say is important." Stella left my office to let him in.He entered my office, looking every bit angry but trying to hide it. "Good morning Mrs Stone. I see you are back to the company, you were gone for a while.”"Well Mr Oliver, my husband and I had things to take care of. I'm sure you can understand that.” I'm not above using my husband to make someone afraid and that purpose was achieved because he tried to mask his shocked face."I know that, I'm sorry for the things that have happened to your family.”I took his fake apology at face value and nodded in understanding. “Is there an important issue you came here to tell me?"I asked him, he needed to leave and go back to his work. “No… I just wanted to see you, I'll go back to my work now.”I could tell he would have said more if I hadn't mentioned Max. He always wants to try and put me in my place, but this time he couldn't. The fear of my husband is always something I will use.After he left,
