SELENA'S POV "Enjoy", I beamed at the customer. He got the cup from me, his fingers brushing against mine slightly.Irritated shiver "Are the straws free?", he asked as he pointed at the stack of straws next to the cash register. "Yes", I nodded. "Are numbers also free?", he winked at me coyly.This idiot.I held myself from giving him a very big eye roll. "I'm sorry I don't understand", I smiled.Maybe if I acted oblivious, he could leave me alone. "Just wanted to know if you had plans this night"Nope, never lucky.Should I use the savage card.Nah, he's not worth it; mentally looking him from head to toe; well..... abdomen, sensing he's on a stool. "I have plans"Plans of snuggling on my bed while binge watching episodes of Tale of the Nine Tailed, Lee Dong Wook really knows how to hit the eye. "That's a shame, really hope I could spare some of my time for a pretty girl like you", he laughed at his attempt of a joke. "Heh..heh", I chuckled awkwardly with

SELENA'S POV I ran my hand in my hair as the elevator door closed shut in front of me. What was I going to do now? I had no other place I could go to. I didn't have friends because I don't like people. It was times like this that I cursed my introverted life. I had gone to the bank but they refused to give me a loan because I had been getting a lot of those and I have a huge debt on my hands. I sighed loudly as I fought to keep my eyes open. After my meet with the Maranos the previous night; no relation, I had gone to several places with the hope of being hired even if it was for a short period of time so I could pay for the bill by installments. The elevator door opened to the floor where my mom's room was situated at. I sighed again and walked out, dragging my feet as I made my way to my mom's room. On reaching the door, I opened it but was almost pushed down by a frantic looking nurse who ran out of the room. Weird. I opened the door again but was met with a couple of nurses

SELENA'S POV "Do you Jace Southerland, take this woman to to be your lawfully wedded wife, to love and com......", the priest started but was interrupted. "I do", I think, if I heard well, his name is Jace said. Well, someone's a little impatient. It made me want to smile a little. "Well...", the priest cleared his throat. "Do you Selena Marano take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to love him, to honour him and comfort for as long as you both shall live. Till death do you part?" "I do", I said. Well, it's not like I had a choice. The priest exhaled with a smile and muttered those words that I had been afraid of from the start. "You may kiss the bride" Okay, where's Lee Dong Wook when you need him. I had imagine him coming to rescue me but no such luck. I looked up at the man standing infront of me through my lashes. I was a bit nervous okay? In my defense, I have never been in this type of position before and I have every reason to feel this way which

SELENA'S POV I was pissed. Why? Why? Because Adelaide is a fucking two-faced snake. What does she mean by the deal is off? I got married to a man that I barely know from the moon just because I had some iota of faith that I could save my mother only to be played by a diva. Urghh....the thought of it still annoys me. That wrench. God knows how I really wanted to jump on her and plunge my nails into her face... but I didn't want to make her bleed...again. Now, I'm doing a mental battle with my brain to come up with a reasonable way to convince the doctor to give me more time. Well it's not like I can just walk into the doctor's office and be like " Wassup doc... so here's the thing..um I was supposed to get the money for the treatment after I got married to this super incredibly attractive guy and my sister who was supposed to give me the money doesn't want to give me the money.. can you imagine that?..I'm sure you can't. Great, so imma need more time.. okay good talk" Or may
