When we finally arrived at Harold’s house, I was surprised to see it. Because it wasn’t just a simple house, but a villa! From the outside, there was an average size modern house with black and white color. There aren't many decorations aside from the pool and a garden.
“I didn’t see your villa that night. Now I realized how beautiful your villa is,” I said while looking at his villa
Harold glanced at me. “Yeah, we’re busy kissing that night. You didn’t see my house.”
I almost choked from my own saliva upon hearing that. He was right about that, we were too busy kissing each other that night and… of course, I was tipsy!
As soon as we entered his house, that’s when I appreciated the simplicity and beauty of it. Just like on the outside and in his bedroom, it was all black and white. A minimalist style for a guy like him. And what made the house lighten up is when I heard a dog.
A white pomeranian runs towards Harold. The puppy barks at him as it wiggle its tail.
“Whoa! Is that your dog?” I ask excitedly.
“Yes, she is. Her name is Susie,” Harold replied. He sat down and then took the dog into his arms before he stood up. “Oh my Susie, did you miss your Daddy?”
Harold slowly scratched Susie’s fur and they looked so good together. While looking at them like this, they were so cute. I didn’t know that Harold was such a softie when it comes to dogs.
“I always wanted a pet dog but my mother hates puppies.”
“You didn’t know how to take care of dogs like her?”
“Hmm, maybe I could use social media to know more about them?”
“That’s good to know. Take care of her for me,” Harold said.
“Really? I could take care of her?” I asked, excited.
“Yes! My friend already left after leaving Susie here earlier.”
“Oh! So I am going to be her Mommy?”
“Ahuh, you will. So… I have work today, can I leave her here with you?”
“Yes! Of course, you can trust me!”
“If you need to know something just call me, alright?”
I nodded. I excitedly took Susie from him. For a second, I thought that she wouldn’t like me but no, she licked my hand and then barked at me like she likes me too.
“I like you too!” I smiled.
After Harold took a quick shower, he already left with his attached case. He didn’t tell me where he was going but it seemed like he had business to attend to.
While playing with Susie, I decided to roam around the house. I went to the kitchen, to the living room, guest room and even to the laundry room. Until I entered a mini office here inside of his house.
I put Susie down on the floor. “You can play! Go!”
Susie ran around the office and I smiled. Before I stood up and looked around the mini office. There are three bookshelves here. Behind the desk table was the shelf where frames with the awards and certificates were displayed. And on the other side, books are lined up. As I walked towards the bookshelves, I saw the medical books that were displayed there. There are a lot of them…
I wonder, what is his job?
I’m sure Barbara knows!
I slipped my hand inside the pocket of my jeans to get my phone and dialed Barbara’s number. Not that long, she answered the call.
“Hello, Selina? What’s up?”
“Hey, I just want to ask something about Harold…” I started.
“Harold? Gerald’s Uncle?”
“Yes! I want to ask what he does for a living?”
“Well, he’s a surgeon and he’s a famous one. To be honest, I didn’t know why you didn’t know about him when everyone is talking about how good he was. Why did you ask anyway? Don’t tell me something happened between you?”
“Yeah, you’re right, we had a one night stand.”
“What the heck, really?! I didn’t know that you'd move on from Gerald right away!”
“I haven’t moved on from him yet. But I am planning to get my revenge because of what he did to me. Is he really his Uncle?”
“Oh God, I thought you weren’t serious that night!” she exclaimed. “Yes, he’s Gerald’s Uncle. Girl, you must look into social media, there are lots of articles about them!”
“Why didn’t I know that?” I raised my brow.
“Because you were busy working your ass off for your father’s company! You even thought that he would favor you! You’re such a good daughter!”
“Can you stop talking about how I was totally ruined?” I asked.
“Alright, alright! But I’m sure about Harold and Gerald’s relationship. Harold is Gerald’s Uncle.”
“Alright, I believe you. I’ll try searching on the web too.”
“That’s good to hear but… be careful, alright? You don’t have to use someone to get your revenge…”
“I know…”
To be honest, I wanted to back out from my plan to use Harold for my revenge. However, I’m here now and we’ve already got married so there’s no turning back. I can’t take back the marriage that we had until I got my revenge towards Gerald. Once I get my revenge, I will talk to Harold and ask for a divorce.
I put Susie on her crib and let her play with her balls inside of it before I started cleaning the house. I am planning to start posting photos and videos online to let Gerald see that I am happy and have moved on. And then, once I got his attention, I will reveal that Harold was my husband! I’m sure he will get mad!
But as I was cooking, I ruined my clothes with the sauce! The clothes I have haven't dried up yet after I do the laundry and so I decided to borrow Harold’s clothes and put them on.
“I got an idea!” A sly smile curved into my lips and then took my phone to take a photo of myself.
After that, I posted it on my social media and made sure that it was in public so Gerald could see it. Then I went back to the kitchen to continue what I was doing. I was busy cooking when I heard that the door opened. I smiled, it was almost done!
“What smell was that? I smelled something yummy!” he said.
As he entered the kitchen, I looked up at him and then smiled. “Hey, come on! Taste it!”
“Alright, coming!”
He put his attached case on the chair together with his coat and then walked towards my direction. But when he stood beside me, I noticed him looking into my body.
“Oh, it’s your shirt! Sorry that I borrowed it. All of my clothes are still wet,” I explained.
“Sure, it’s fine. You look good with my shirt on,” he smiled. Then his eyes scanned me from head to toe. “But I think you’re better without anything on…” he murmured.
Then he leaned towards me. My eyes widened as his rough palm landed on my hips down to my legs. I swallowed hard as he started to move it up and down while he pressed himself against my ass.
“H-harold…” I called him.
“Hmm, yeah?” He nuzzled on my neck and then sniffed my scent. “You smelled so good, babe…”
“I… I’m…” I stuttered. To be honest I liked the way he was touching me. But I wasn’t sure if this was right so I quickly turned off the stove and then moved away from him. “I’m sorry, I need to get something in my room!”
With that, I ran away from him and went to my room only to stop myself from blushing! Darn, how is he so good at seducing me? I should’ve been the one that was doing that!
Harold’s POV:After Selina and I ate the dinner that she prepared for me, she quickly went to the guest room that was just next to my room. I wanted her to stay in my bedroom but she wanted a separate room. Seeing her wearing my loose shirt that looked like a dress on her made me damn hard. Her creamy, flawless legs were so hot, I could kiss and lick them forever. She was oozing hot! I wanted to make out with her but she declined, so I just let her go. Maybe, she wasn’t comfortable with me yet and I can’t force a woman if she didn’t want it.As I sat down on my swivel chair, I took my phone and dialed the number of one of my men, Roger.“Hello, Roger?”“Good evening, Sir! What can I do for you?”“I need you to do something for me,” I said. “Please do a background check on Selina Woodward. I’ll send you her photo.”“Will do, Sir!”After talking to Roger, I quickly sent him Selina’s photo. Not that long, Roger sent me Selina’s background. I sighed as I checked her details. Selina is ju
“How could you say that to your own daughter?” I asked my Dad.I couldn't believe that I was hearing those words from him. Like I am not part of this family. How could he be so ruthless towards me? Ever since Emma and I were a child, I have always neglected. Never once have they become so proud of me even after I got a lot of achievements. “Just accept my decision, Selina. And go back to work!”“Dad…”“Just go, Selina! I don’t want to hear your complaints! Do your best and I might see your capabilities!”Even though I wanted to try arguing with him, to prove that I am right, that I am more capable of that position, I just stopped. Because I know that no matter what I say, he would never get on my side, ever!I dropped my shoulders and turned my back to him. Instead, I returned to my seat as soon as I entered the office. Thankfully, they are done celebrating for Emma and Gerald. I can’t take seeing them celebrating for a success that was never worked hard for. Emma didn’t do anything
Harold POV:I quickly rushed Susie into the Vet. Susie is three years old and she has never once become sick like this. I didn’t know what Selina did to her to make her situation like this. I’m worried sick while waiting for the waiting area as the Vet checked on Susie. She was the only one I had, I can’t afford losing Susie. Not that long, the Vet went out of the room. I immediately stood up to go to her. She took out her gloves and pulled down her mask.“She’s fine now, we gave her an IV and antibiotics,” the Vet said. “We have to admit her here tonight until tomorrow morning so we can check on her.”“Thank you, Doc. May I know the reason why she vomited like that?”“Well, it's expired dog food. That’s what the lab result showed,” she replied. “But you don’t have to worry now. You have to be more careful next time.”My mouth gaped, I just nodded. That dog food… I gave her that earlier this morning before I left the villa. And I didn’t even check its expiration date. I forgot that I
I already lost all my hope that I could survive this when the drunk man pushed me on the ground. Even though I tried to crawl away from him, I wasn’t able to escape when he pinned me down. My body was trembling, my heart was beating so fast. I still tried to beg for mercy but they seemed to be out of their minds.When he was about to lower his head to kiss me, someone took him away from me. He pulled the man up and then punched him in the face. I was terrified, I couldn’t see what was happening properly but I knew that the man was punching them. Until he defeated them all by himself. That’s when I realized who it was. It was Harold. He helped me get up from my feet while I still cry because of fear.“Are you OK? Why are you here anyway? God, Selina! You made me worry!” he exclaimed.And because he shouted at me, I quickly ran away from him. I even heard him call me but I didn’t look back. When I finally reached my car, I hopped in and drove my way to Barbara’s house. I have nowhere
Emma seemed surprised by what Lillian whispered to her. To be honest, I’ve heard about Dorian before. He’s a wealthy businessman. Maybe that was the reason why Emma looked surprised? But why is Harold with a businessman like him when he’s a surgeon?Not that long, the owner of the restaurant came. He was even shocked to see Dorian and Harold standing right before us.“D-dorian, H-harold, what are you doing here?” The owner asked.“These two women are harassing your customers,” Dorian pointed at Lillian and Emma.“What are you saying?!” Emma asked. Her eyes widened.“And this woman that they were harassing is my wife.” This time, Harold held my hand and then pulled me closer to him. Emma and Lillian gasped in surprise. They couldn't believe what they just heard.“What the hell are you saying? How did you become her husband?!” Emma shouted.“Do we have to show you our marriage contract then?” Harold asked. “If you want to save this restaurant, ban these two women here,” Dorian said.
After I called the cab to drive me to Harold’s villa, I got inside and looked out the window to reflect on things that had happened to me in almost two weeks.I never imagined it would be like this for me, my whole world turned around so fast and messy.Watching the cars outside the window, I felt my cell phone vibrate from the pocket of my pants. I immediately saw Jessica's number flashing on the screen.“Why is she calling?” I murmured.When I answered the phone, I heard my mother’s shouting voice from the background.“Selina!” Mom shouted. “How did you manage to bully Emma?!”“The news was fast, Mom? You’ve got it right away?”“And you're really even able to make a joke, Selina? Are you mocking me? I can't believe it! You're the older sister, you shouldn't have done that to her!”“I'm sure you don't know the real reason why this happened to you. It wasn't me who did that to her, it was my husband.”“Husband?!”“Yes. And I don't need to explain myself to you, Mom. I know that even
After two days of just cleaning and taking care of Susie, I decided to get out of Harold’s house to start looking for a job. Just like what I said, I don’t want to be a burden to Harold and to hear awful things from him someday. I can sense that he will count all of the things that he was giving me once he started to realize it. And more because I am just using him for my revenge. Once he finds out, he’ll surely be enraged in anger.“Sweet Café, Miss! Grandma! Sweet Café!”And after a week of trying to find a job, I didn’t land any. It was hard because of the surname I have. And I can feel that my father has something to do with it. Especially when three companies rejected me all at once right after seeing my C.V. I’m sure that he did some trick to stop them from hiring me. I can’t believe that my own father would do that to me.So I decided to get a lower paying job, which is giving out flyers on the street. Just a temporary job so I can save money. And to not rely on Harold the whol
“How was your design?”I looked up at Harold when he looked at my tablet where I was doing the design for the company that I wanted to sign up for the bidding. As I showed it to Harold, he sat up beside me and took the tablet.“You’re pretty great,” he replied. “I’m sure you’ll win the bidding.”“Thanks! I’m confident with my design. I have two years experience, you know.”“Good luck for tomorrow,” he said.I nodded. After days of designing, it has been doing good. Harold was very supportive of me and we never argued since the day that he asked me to resign from giving flyers on the street.“Are you done?” he asked. I shook my head. “I haven’t done it yet.”He sighed and then stood up. “Right, good luck.”Hearing his cold voice, I looked up at him as he walked out of my bedroom. Instead of thinking why he was so cold towards me, I just shrugged and continued what I was doing. The next day, I was nervous when I entered the company. This company was the enemy of my father’s company b
