Selene “Hi, nice to meet you." Selene said, a hand stretched out with a sinister smile plastered on her face. I stared at her hands unsure of what to do, my head snapped between her and my mother, looking for a little chuckle or anything to tell that they were joking but I found none.I coughed, but Selene spoke up before me. "Do I have something on my face?” She said, looking between me and my mom.My mom's brows furrowed and I spoke up before the thought could form in her head. “No, It's something else.”“Nice to meet you too.” I said, taking her hand that hung in the air. My mother looked between the both of us, a satisfied smile growing on her face. “Great. I can only tell that you both will have a great relationship." My mom said, nodding with her eyes glistening with joy.I faked a smile, trying my best not to let my confusion show in my expression. “We'll definitely have one, if she gets the chance.” Aurora said, her voice in a low whisper as she completed her words.I felt t

Selene He stopped for a moment and turned, “What?" he asked, confusion written all over his face.I smiled seeing his reaction, I stepped forward, speaking as I moved. "I said I'm pregnant.” I paused looking down to my tummy, the baby that would save my marriage."With our child." I finished looking up to him. He shook his head, his face going through different phases of emotions.“How is that possible?" He finally blurted out after a while and I smiled, looking down to my belly. “I just found out about it a few days ago, I was still contemplating…" I stopped my words immediately he spoke over me, his words leaving my hands tightly placed over my belly.I turned, wanting to stop him but he still spoke of the harsh truth I was unwilling to face. “I still can't be with you. I love her, and I want to be with her."My face fell. The feeling of despair I had washed away returning quickly. “I can't let the kid grow up without a father." He said and I couldn't help but scoff.He was so fas

SeleneMy bag slipped from my hands.Not gently. Not slowly.It shattered against the marble floor, the sound sharp and ugly, echoing through the office. My purse spilled open, my lipstick rolling towards the desk where my husband of five years sat with another woman on his lap.I didn't move. It seemed like my body had forgotten how to.The sound startled them. Xavier’s head whipped towards me, his face draining of all colour.He scrambled away from her. For a second, I saw something shudder across his face—shame, maybe panic. But then he paused mid-rise. He took a glance at me and sat back. A worrying sense of calm over him. I stepped forward, about to speak when I finally saw the lady who was hidden behind his arms now visible.Aurora.No! It couldn't be.My pulse stutters. No, not her.Aurora steps into view fully, all red satin and smug nostalgia, her hair loose and flowing like she's in a perfume commercial. Her perfume fills the air like poison. Invasive and suffocating.She

Selene"Mom. I am home!" I said, my voice a little higher than usual trying to hide how excited I was. I did not get a reply from my mom like I used to whenever I came over, which was quite unusual.I was just getting back from the hospital, where I found out I was pregnant. Finally. I came home after my parents called me because I wanted to tell them the good news about the baby. When I got home the house was really quiet and that was weird. I was expecting everyone to be happy and talking. Why was everywhere so silent?The entire residence was shrouded in silence, the grandfather clock in the hallway had suddenly stopped ticking, and I couldn't help but feel a shiver run down my spine.I walked slowly. My heart was beating slowly in my chest. I thought something bad had happened to my family. The hair on my arms stood up.. Then I saw them. They were sitting in their usual spot. Dad was sitting in his rocking chair and mum was sitting at the edge of the sofa. They both did not have
