HER DEATH

“Oh it's Miss Bailey. I'm also looking forward to the bonus you mentioned before” The man smiled and his tone suddenly became polite.

Miss Bailey? There was only one woman with that surname she knew of, it was Chloe Bailey.

She was Alexander's first love and ex. They had met in university and had dated for a bit, but they eventually broke up. Selena didn't know the reason why. She never borrowed to ask either. The only thing she knew was after their break up, Chloe went to get her master degree in the US and got married to a wealthy businessman son there.

The last news she heard about Chloe was about her failed business in the US and divorce case with her current husband.

“Chloe! Why is Alexander's phone with you” Selena yelled out of anger.

“Ah, Selena, you're listening? Well that makes everything easier.  I'm with him, obviously.  He is currently taking a shower right now that's why I'm holding his phone” Selena couldn't believe what she was hearing. Why would Alexander's stay with a woman? How could she access his phone?

“Give it to Alexander, I want to speak to him” Selena demanded but Chloe just laughed at her foolishness.

“That's not possible, he doesn't want to have anything to do with you anymore. Don't you understand? That's why he is planning to kill you and those bastard children of yours!” Selena's world shattered when she heard those words but she was also upset.

“Don't you dare call my children bastards! They are mine and Alexander's!”

“Ahh, who cares? You and those kids will be dead soon” she laughed before continuing.

“You know, Alexander told me that he really hates you. In his eyes, you're just a pest who used your pregnancy to blackmail him into marrying you. Don't you know that?” she shook her head in disbelief.

“No, there's no way! We love each other and Alexander loves these children” she refuted.

“You're delusional! After you die, I will take your place as Alexander's fiance and eventually his wife. We are going to get married and have a lot of children together”  Those words pierced Selena's heart. Drop of tears began to fall from her eyes.

“Okay, enough chit-chats, Listen here. There is a suicide note prepared in advance for you, just sign it and die.” With that, Chloe hung up the call and the driver handed over a piece of paper to her.

“Sign this and I will let you have an easy death.” He threatened. Selena took a look at the paper and she was shocked with what was written in there.

Apparently, the suicide note declared that the children she had weren’t his and she had been cheating on him the entire time. Because he was so kind to her, she couldn’t bear the guilt of lying to him and decided to end her own life.

Selena had never seen anything more ridiculous in her life. At that moment, a lot of mixed emotions began to overwhelm her.

One of them was regret. She regretted ever trusting and loving that man. Alexander Lancaster. She thought he was a gentleman. But he turned out to be crueler than she could ever imagine.

Selena looked at the driver in the eyes, shook her head and refused.

“Even if I have to die, I won’t sign this paper! I am not committing suicide and these children are Alexander’s!” The driver was losing his patience. 

He pulled out a knife and slashed her fingers. 

Then, he forcefully grabbed her hand and pressed the bloody finger on the paper. Selena was unable to fight him. She was very weak due to the injection and he was stronger.

Once her fingerprint was on the paper, the driver quickly pulled the paper and hid it out of sight.

“My job here is done. If you die and become a ghost, don’t come for me. Come for those people who sent me.” The car finally reached the cliff and the driver roughly adjusted the position that half of the car’s back were facing the abyss. Selena was horrified.

“So, he wants to make it seem like a car accident?” Selena thought to herself. The driver quickly opened the door and jumped out of there, leaving Selena alone. Then, he went to the front side and pushed the car with all his might so it would fall down.

“No, stop! Get me out of here!” Selena pleaded for her life but it was useless. She could feel the car was getting pushed further and further into the cliff until it finally lost its balance and fell down.

As she fell down along with the car, the memory of the time she spent together with Alexander surfaced. The man she loved and trusted with her whole life betrayed her. Nothing could compare with the pain she felt in her heart.

“Bastard! You bastard! How could you do this to me!?” She thought.

“Alexander Lancaster. If I could start all over again. I would not want to know you or fall in love with you! You’re inhumane!”

The car finally smashed to the ground, rolled over and caught on fire. Everything was consumed by the flame. In the middle of it, Selena made a promise.

“Alexander, I won’t forgive you!”
