POV: SelinaI sat on the plush sofa in her cozy living room, my fingers nervously twisting the edge of a throw pillow as I poured out my heart to Amara. "He's just so... possessive, Amara. I don't know what to do," I confessed, my voice tinged with a mixture of longing and concern. She reached out a comforting hand and gave me a sympathetic look, feigning a sad face. "I understand, Selina. Love can be so complicated, in fact, loving a billionaire is just too complicated for you. You are so special, my dear friend you deserve to be with someone who respects you and treats you well. So why don’t you hand me his number so I can replace you in his life," she teased, winking at me. “This is not a joke, Ama!You weren’t there, you didn’t see the look in his eyes, the possessiveness. He was so weird and rude! I complained.“Wake up, Lina!That is how these billionaires love. Every girl would jump at this opportunity you are about to throw away. Forget the look in his eyes, forget his mann
POV: SelinaIt’s my grandmother’s anniversary today. It’s a day I will never forget in my life, the day I lost the last family member I had. Mom and Dad died in a plane crash when I was just eleven years old. Grandma came to pick me up from Canada after the banks seized everything we had. Grandma couldn’t give me the best education, but she had salvaged some money from selling off some expensive gifts she had before my parents died. She sent me to school and did her best to make me forget about my parents. She is my hero and I owe it all to her.Today I decided to visit her grave and tell her how I’ve been faring since she left me. I plan to tell her about Felix and how he makes the butterflies in my Tommy go crazy, how he makes my heart flutter like a teenager on her first date. I always chat about my life with Nana, and even if I have Amara to chat with, I still miss her. I end up going to her grave every anniversary and sometimes when I’m feeling sad and need someone to talk to.As
POV: Felix Selina…My muse…My obsession…I can’t remember loving a woman to this extent, I have never let any girl into my life like this. It’s amazing how she is not aware of the effect she has on me. I watched him flee from me as if her body was on fire. It was clear that she was oblivious to the desire spreading in my body. She feels it too, I can tell from her reaction that being this close to me is making her uncomfortable too. I’m sure she thinks she can escape it by putting some distance between us. I'm curious about how she would react upon discovering my true intentions, and how would she feel when she found out that she was about to become mine. I smiled at the thought of having her in a box, watching her every step and keeping tags on her every move. She can never escape me no matter how far she tries to run away. I’ll be like her shadow following her everywhere. An idea came to me and I smiled excitedly as I thought of how amazing it would be. I got into my own car an
POV: Felix If only my father cared about me, but he doesn’t. He was cut off from his inheritance after he defied his father's orders and went overseas to pursue his career in modeling, just like my mom. His absence caused us our position in the family and that was why the whole family saw it as an opportunity to get rid of me, his heir, and take over. Mom stayed with me, but she gave up on the family and the company. She focused on her career, letting me fend for myself within the family.Gramps never gave up on me. He said he saw a part of him in me and that is why he didn’t cut me off like he did my father. Despite all the accusations and bullying in the family, he always gave me the chance to clear my name and I always did. I have no relationship with my father, he divorced my mom a few months after he was cut off and he never fought for custody, he doesn’t even call to check on me. “You know you need to have a woman by your side if you want your grandfather to completely relinqu
POV: SelinaCaught in the heavy downpour, I was forced to take a taxi back to our apartment. The bus takes a different route from where I live. I alighted at the bus stop that is a few blocks away from my apartment. If it wasn’t raining so heavily, I would have walked the little distance to my shared apartment with Amara. “Where the hell have you been, and why are you so wet?Jeez!You are messing up the floors I just cleaned. Didn’t I see you leave with the umbrella, what happened to it? You are not the forgetful and careless type. I’m pretty sure you didn’t misplace our only umbrella. Did the wind blow it away?” Amara asked me when I finally arrived with my clothes soaked. This is one of those day when I regret having a roommate. Ever since we became roomies, Amara questions me about every damn thing as if she were my mother. I know she won’t stop asking until I respond to her with a good explanation.“Damn!It must be raining like hell out there. How did you get home under such a
POV: Felix It’s Friday morning and I’m a bit ecstatic about today’s event. I have it all planned out, I made is possible for her interview to be done today. I want her to get the terms of her employment today, it’s going to be so cool. As I got up from my bed, I went to check on Lina in her cage. I smiled when I met her exactly go I’d left her. This is exactly how I want Selina to be, I want to know where she is and what she is doing at all times.“Get the technician to connect all cameras in the building to my office. I want to see everything that is happening today, I want to know what my little pet would say in her interview and I want to see her reaction to the job offer.” I instructed John. This interview will not be just about the job, I have specific questions I want her to answer today. I’m going to make the interviewer to ask her personal question. There are things I want to know about her, but she may never answer me honestly. So I’m going to use this interview to get those
POV: Selina“Okay, I know the interview didn’t go as planned, but I got the job, Amara!I’m in!Now it’s time to start bringing in the big bucks and start paying off the loan. I’m so happy, Ama, it’s a dream come true!” I let out excitedly as we both sat in our apartment and talked about my interview. There was a moment there when I wanted to lash out at the interviewer. I mean, what has my sex life got to do with the job, what does my preferred sexual partners have to do with anything?It’s just so sickening. It got more annoying when I was asked if Amara is my lesbian partner. Like, what the fuck is wrong with these people?I tried so hard to maintain my positive attitude and answer the questions. It would have been such a scandal if I’d lashed out or even slapped my interviewer. I felt so relieved when I got the job, and I signed the document presented to me quickly before they changed their minds. It had taken Simon a great deal to get me this job, I didn’t want to let him down.
POV: Selina“Get your filthy hands off her!” Someone screamed from the doorway. I was on the floor with my hands covering my face. I turned towards the sound of the voice and I saw him standing by the door, his face scrunched up in anger. He pounced on them and dished out punches in different directions. “My hero…You came for me, Felix, you saved me,” I called out to him after he took them down. He turned to me and offered a warm, comforting smile, “I can never stay away from you, Lina. I will never let you get hurt, I will always protect you.” He assured me, bringing his lips down to mine in a passionate kiss. We were still sharing our passionate moment when I heard someone calling me,“Selina, wake up!Wake up, Lina!Wake up, already!What happened here, what happened to you?” Amara called out to me, tapping me gently to get me to stand up.“Felix?Where is Felix?” I asked in my dizzy state, turning around to search for him.“Felix Yeats!Did he come here after I left, was it hi
