View MoreSelena stirred, slowly awakening from what felt like a deep, unnatural slumber.The scent of the hospital room filled her nose. The soft sound coming from the beeping monitor machine filled her ears. And the dull aching in her head hasn't stopped. She blinked opening her eyes
She wasn't sure of her surroundings and why she was there, she tried to recall what happened before she got to the hospital. The only thing she was able to remember was being brought to the hospital by Alexander her boyfriend…Oh No, her fiance. A small smile threatened to escape her lips...as she remembered, After she shared the news of her pregnancy with him a week ago he immediately proposed to her in the most romantic way she would have ever imagined… to be his wife. But as she looked around that moment he wasn't there with her. She tried sitting up and the door cracked up as a man in a doctor's uniform and a nose mask came in looking very suspicious but she overlooked his suspicious appearance and asked that her fiance be called. “Miss Ashford Selena?” The doctor asked as he stepped closer to her bed. She nodded trying to speak again but before she could say anything else he stabbed her with an injection and she collapsed back onto the bed. *** Waking up, Selena's mind was fuzzy. She didn't remember what happened before but she found herself inside a car. It looked like her fiance's car. She gathered herself, trying to sit up. Her whole body was aching and she felt weak. Her stomach was also in pain. She caressed it gently before observing her surroundings. The car was riding through a deserted area. The only thing she could see were trees everywhere. It was an unfamiliar area she lived in the city, so how did she end up there? Her gaze went from the window to the front seat and she saw a stranger driving the car. It was a middle-aged man she didn't recognize. “Who are you? Why are you driving this car instead of my driver? Where are we heading?” Selena asked in panic. “Hah! You are finally awake i was going to make things less painful by letting you sleep, but I guess it can't be helped” Selena didn't know what he meant by making things less painful. All she knew was she wanted to head back home. “Take me back home!” She ordered. “Sorry miss i can't do that!” he might be apologizing but there was no remorse on his face. Instead, he seemed to thrive on her fear. Smiling devilishly. She tried to recall what happened before. She remembered she fainted, her fiance took her to the hospital, then the doctor! The man suddenly stabbed her with an injection and she lost consciousness. She had been kidnapped. Selena quickly grabbed her phone to call Alexander Lancaster, her fiance when the car suddenly took a sharp turn. She stumbled and her phone slipped through her finger. Falling to the ground on the front seat. She lifted her face and saw the driver smirking. “You're really enjoying this, aren't you?” Selena was starting to get more and more agitated. She was scared and annoyed at the same time. She just wanted to go home. She couldn't do much because of how weak she was. “Listen, I don't know who you are. Why are you doing this? Who sent you?” She asked. “Hah! I'm doing this for the money of course, As for the why, I was going to keep a secret for you. But since you ask and since you would be dying soon, I'll tell you” he paused before replying. “It's your fiance Mr Lancaster who sent me to get rid of you and the little things inside you” Selena couldn't believe it, there was no way the fiance she loved so much would do something so cruel to her. Besides, she was pregnant with his children, he wouldn't have the heart to kill his own children, would he? “No! My babies?” Selena immediately wrapped her hands around her stomach. “I don't believe you! Alexander would never do that to me!” she denied. Yes, Selena thought there was no way he could do something like that. Their engagement might be sudden, but in her eyes Alexander was a good man. He was willing to take responsibility once he found out about her pregnancy by proposing to her. And he loves her so why would he? “Doesn't matter if you don't believe me, once this is all over, you'll be dead and I will get paid, It's a win-win situation!” He said before laughing like a the devilhe was. “No, That's impossible! I still don't believe you tell me the truth!” Selena was starting to lose her temper and the man grabbed his phone. “Okay you still don't believe me? Fine! I will prove it to you” He showed Alexander's number on his contact list to her. “See, i even have his number” He dial-up the number and put the phone on speaker mode. “Hello Mr Lancaster? It's me, I have kidnapped Selena and on my way to the cliff now” “Alexander isn't here right now. But good job you will receive the payment once this is all over” To Selena's surprise, it was not his voice it was a ladies voice.On the other side of the city, Chloe was crying as she laid her head on Alexander’s shoulder.She didn’t even dare to open her phone because she knew what was waiting for her. Alexander felt conflicted. He pitied her a little and did his best to cheer her up.“Don’t worry, I will do something about this.” He assured her.“My reputation is damaged! All the media are broadcasting this news and they are calling me a bully. I don’t even want to live anymore!” She sobbed loudly.Richard, Alexander’s assistant, entered the room.“Have you contacted the media and publishing companies who posted these videos and articles?” Alexander asked.“Yes, they say they are on their way to deal with it.” Richard was nervous. He had dealt with a lot of things from working with Alexander Lancaster, but he never dealt with anything at this scale before. No one expected that a two-minute video could cause such an uproar.“Ask them to delete it immediately!” Chloe shouted, frustrated with what was happening.
Harper noticed that his big Aunty didn’t seem too fond of him. Probably because he resembled his father the most. So, he did one thing he always did best, appealing to the adults.“Big Aunty, you look a bit tired. Do you want some warm tea? I will bring you a cup of warm tea, okay?” He told her with a gentle smile. The frown on her face had already begun to fade away.Rachel didn’t expect the little boy to be so polite. Even though he had his father’s face, his character was different.Ah, thinking about Alexander Lancaster pissed her off. She still remembered how Seven years ago, she received the news of Selena’s death on TV. Chloe showed up and told everyone Selena had committed suicide and showed a fake suicide note in her hand. They made it look as if her little cousin had done it out of guilt for cheating on Alexander.Rachel had practically raised Selena since she was young, she knew her better than anyone. There was no way Selena would do something like that. It was a big lie
Selena was starting to get really annoyed. She didn’t think ungrateful humans like her still existed in this world. Who did she think she was to demand so much from someone she just met for the first time? Not just that, she also dared to insult her aunt.“The only family member I see here is my aunt. I have no relation to you whatsoever.” Selena replied, biting her lower lips to hold back her anger.Who did she think put them in that kind of situation? It was their son!Rachel was the one who paid the consequences of their son’s action and they still treated her like garbage. If it wasn’t because they still lived in the same house as Rachel’s, Selena would do so much more than scolding this ungrateful old woman.“I don’t care. You have the money, you must compensate us for what your aunt has done!” The old woman started yelling and demanding even more. She began to throw a tantrum and the situation became really uncomfortable.“Selena, you should just head back now, I will catch up w
“There we go!” Harrison smirks “Are you done?” Henry asked immediately.“Almost…” he replied.Harrison’s little fingers were busy typing on the keyboard. He cropped some parts of the video and adjusted the rest. Once he was done, he sent the file to Hazel’s phone and the little girl uploaded the video.She created a fake Instagram account with the help of her brothers and now they were about to create chaos.“And posted!” Hazel yelled joyfully as a smile brightened all their faces. It was finally done!“Good job, everyone!” The four of them gave each other high five and celebrated their little victory, yes! they couldn’t wait.Soon enough, Chloe would be the laughing stock and roasted by the notion all over social media.***Selena drove her car across the state to see her elder cousin who was like an aunt to her, Rachel Robinson. She was her mother’s elder sister's child. In the past, they were frequently mistaken as sisters.After driving for almost two hours, she stopped in front
Seeing them together brought back old memories of her and Alexander, Alexander once told her that Chloe was a calm and mature woman who never caused a scene. Yet it seemed to her that those weren’t exactly true.How she wanted to laugh and mocked them at the time, but Selena decided to let it slide. She needed to have some self-restraint. After all, she was no longer Selena Ashford from seven years ago.“Baby, are you okay?” Selena approached Hazel who smiled when she saw her.“Mom, don’t worry, I am okay. See?” She spun around to show her that she was fine. Selena couldn’t help but smile at how cute her daughter was. Yes, she was her daughter, not Alexander’s.“Thank goodness, that woman must have given you a hard time.” She kissed her daughter’s chubby cheek and took her hand.“No worries, mama. Hazel is a big girl, I can handle someone like her.” Selena chuckled at her daughter’s response. She was glad everything had passed.Her heart nearly dropped a beat earlier when she saw Haz
“No, I know what I saw, it was definitely a spider!” Chloe snatched the toy away from Hazel and threw it to the ground, hoping to find some secret in there to prove her right. Instead, the bunny toy broke and split in two.Hazel quickly covered her face, pretending to be shocked and sad. However, she was actually smiling inside. They must be shocked, especially Chloe.She knew Chloe was telling the truth, but that toy was actually a little trick she had come up with along with her brothers. Yes, it's was a payback for ordering their aunt.It was only the beginning.In front of everyone, Hazel started crying. Drop of tears fell on her reddish chubby cheek and she made sure everyone could see her.“Hwaaaaa… my toy is broken.” She turned to Alexander and spoke pitifully.“Mr. Lancaster, my bunny is dead! What will you do if you have a daughter and someone breaks her toy like this!? Will you just stay still and let other people bully your daughter?” She asked as she continued crying. Tho
