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
POV:: FelixI saw her reaction when she saw her new apartment, it was divine, so beautiful. That is the look I want to be seeing on her face, I want her to be wowed by my surprises. At first, she was scared to see that she had been stalked. She was about to panic and run away, but I instructed the driver to tell her it had nothing to do with a stalker.“We always want our staff to feel at home, so we go the extra mile to make them comfortable. The interior designer was asked to design your apartment with things you are familiar with. And that is exactly what we have here. We hope you like it,” the guy told her in a professional tone that made her eyes go wide in shock. “This is beautiful, how did you pull it off without my knowledge?It’s Ama, isn’t she?She let you into my room to take pictures and design this for me. It’s so amazing, I love it. Why didn’t she tell me?” she asked in surprise. He had no answer to that question so he just nodded curtly and stepped aside for her to adm
POV: SelinaJeez!Living in this neighborhood is definitely going to be tough. Everyone is so snobbish and rude, like very rude. One lady bumped into me on the road and her groceries spewed on the road. She was so mean, and she made me pick them up for her even though she had been the one at fault. I was just dealing with her when a kid who was learning to ride a bicycle ran into me and knocked me down with his bicycle.“watch it, lady!” Was his only response to me as he picked up his bicycle and sped away, not minding if I was hurt. I bruised my ankle and knee on the floor, so I had to stop by a pharmacy and get some adhesive bandage to cover it up. I spotted him the moment I walked into the supermarket. There is no hiding place for the aura that surrounds him. With his figure and his looks, there is no way in hell that you would miss him in any place. He always stands out, his charisma and aura distinguishes him from everyone else. The moment I spotted him, I froze in place as I re
POV: FelixI was holding on to my self-control as if my life depended on it. I had to hold myself back from kissing her in the car. The thought of pushing her away forever was my driving force all night. I had to do everything in my power to keep my hands to myself. I exerted great effort to restrain myself from kissing and making out with her in the car and in her house too. When we had that conversation about food, I learned that she enjoys spicy food and I mentally noted that Selina Nash likes spicy food and ice cream. This will be at the back of my mind so I can always take her to a restaurant that serves spicy foods and I’ll make it a habit to get her ice cream too. I’ll use these treats to reward her when she listens to me and obeys my orders. So far, I’ve kept my motives a secret from her. Despite my strong emotions, despite how much I wish to stay back and keep her by my side. I did not linger long in her apartment. Like an expert, I skillfully eased her wariness, building f
POV: Selina I can’t believe he wants to use me and replace a pet rabbit. I wish he had just told me he liked me and let me respond as I’m supposed to. All the nice lunch and perfect character would have been nice if I wasn’t being asked to replace a rabbit. Like, what the hell is he going to do with a big rabbit like me?“Don’t you think that it’s weird for his rabbit to bear my name, isn’t it weird that she looks just like the rabbit on the frame?Why do you think he wants me to replace her, couldn’t he just get more rabbits if he needs more pets?” I asked angrily as I paced the living room area of my new apartment. I’ve been this way since I got back home, I’m so angry that he would even compare me with a rabbit. Our lunch day was going so well, it would have ended in his bedroom if he hadn’t said those troubling words to me. I couldn’t sit still for one second, it’s more alarming to think that a part of me wanted to say yes to replacing a pet rabbit. I loved him so much, that I w
Seline.I felt Felix, come up from behind and gave me a peck to my neck.It brought shivers to my body so I let out a moan. His hands found their ways to my boobs and he sneezed them, my back pressed into his chest.He turned me around and I closed my eyes, as his mouth found mine. The warmth of his mouth on mine sent shivers down my spine.My heart soared and I reciprocated to his touches without thinking and boldly moved my hands to touch his bulgy arms.His hands moved underneath my dress, trailing from my thigh upwards to my underwear. He cupped my pussy, and I let out a gasp in his mouth, still enjoying his kisses.He trailed his other hand from my waist upwards to my boobs, then he cupped them in his hands, teasing my already, hardened nipples with his fingers.“Hmm, yes” I let out unknowingly, actually wanting more. Before I knew it, my gown was ripped away by him. He stopped touching me and I opened my eyes to notice I was unclad except for my pants and heels.I suddenly felt
PAIN/PLEASURE.Felix.It was as easy as anything. All I had to do was to be patient, even though I hated being that but it sure was working."How did you find out I am into such a thing?" She asked me innocently and I fought back an evil smirk.'It was as easy as anything sweetheart.' I thought, leading her to sit down on the balcony while looking around to admire my work.While sneaking into her house frequently to spend time with her while she was asleep. I m caught upon her dairy one day and read the things she wanted her dream man to do for her.It wasn't exactly my clique but for my woman, I shall do whatever she wanted or became whosoever she demanded just for her."You still haven't answered my question." She reminded me as she spread the napkin on her laps, while looking around the shining place.I got us a warm, lively balcony from where she could see the whole city as she ate. It was filled with soft music from one of her favorite painoist and candle light, creating a perfec
POV: Harper We have stayed in this underground secret hideout for three months now, and I thought we would never leave again The dark walls are a stark reminder of everything I’m trying to escape, but at least I’m safe here. Safe from Serena and her endless threats. Safe from everyone who thinks I’m dumb for leaving my marriage with the most eligible bachelor in town, Ethan.If only they know what I had to go through as his wife, if only they know that I’m currently fighting to stay alive and protect my unborn child from a lunatic that is obsessed with my husband. If anything, I should be commended for staying alive and safe this long. I’m not sure how long I can keep this up, but I sure know that I’m doing a great job so far. I watch as Liam spends more time chatting with his newfound love, Clara, and I feel a pang of jealousy twinge in my heart. But I remind myself, it was my idea that he dated her. I made this happen , I found him this girl and literally forced him to speak with
HOPE.Seline.I stood outside the office building, clutching my belongings tightly in my hands as a feeling of despair ran through me. My heart clenched tightly in pain, my shoulders dropping as I wondered where I would go next from here. My rent was expiring today, I already promised the landlord payment today but could I pay when I have just been fired?I had no last hope. Everything just happened fast and suddenly. "You are fired." The words echoed continuously in my head and I shut my eyes immediately, trying to zone it out. This wasn't the time.I should never have trusted Mrs. Wilson. I should have just reported and done the right thing then, but I didn't.'Where was I to go now?' I wondered, pressing my lips together, unaware of Felix approaching me from behind.He placed his soft hand on my shoulder, and I almost jumped, startled, turning around to face him wide-eyed."Sorry." He apologized, immediately withdrawing his hand with a thin smile. "Didn't mean to startle you." H
POV: Serena I kept replaying the incident in my head, trying to recall when and how I’d implicated myself without my knowledge. I’d caught her s couple of times, and our conversation is always on the same page always. It’s starts with me being shocked at her actions and ends with her offering me a spot on her team. The last time I’d seen her stealing the designs, I had tried to stop her, didn’t I?...Flashback..."Oh my God! Mrs. Wilson, what are you doing here and with the Jewel's designs?" I questioned, my hand covering my mouth as I watched Mrs. Wilson, sneakily trying to steal them.She shook, her phone dropping from her hand to the floor, causing a loud noise as beads of sweats gathered on her forehead. Her eyeballs widened as she looked here and there briskly, to make sure no one was in sight."Damn! You scared me. Be more careful next time, you don't want to be responsible for my next panic attack, do you?" Mrs. Wilson tried changing the subject but I wasn't allowing her.Rat
Selina.I felt shivers run down my spine as I trailed behind Chloe to her office. She entered before me, slamming the door after her loudly, causing me to tremble.'What was going on, why was I having a bad feeling about this?' I pondered, taking in a deep breath and trying to calm myself down.I finally grabbed the door knob, turned it and then walked inside, my head raised high. I saw Chloe already sitting behind the desk, her chin resting on both her hands as she scrutinized me with her gaze.The look in her eyes wasn't friendly, rather it seemed as if she was trying not to wrinkle her nose at me in disgust. I thought I was meeting with the board of directors, why did she bring me to her office?"I always knew you weren't to be trusted, but you actually stooping as low as this is so unbelievable." She said and I furrowed my brows at her in confusion.'What was she talking about and why shouldn't I be trusted?' I wondered."How could you betray us in such a way?First you flirt with
POV: Selina“What’s going on, why is everyone so quiet, what happened here?” I asked the interns as I reviewed their new projects. They shrugged their shoulders at me, refusing to say anything to me. Some of them even rolled their eyes at me, eyeing me as if I did something wrong. I felt angry, I didn’t know what to do, I don’t even know what is going on and I definitely do not want to find out from Mrs Wilson. For all I know she could be the reason why everyone is staring at me this way. Maybe her secrets have been exposed. And if I’m seen with her, I will be in trouble too. I decided to go to the one person that I know would not hide the truth from me. I decided to go to Simon Wilson to find out what is going on. I know we are having some conflict and disagreement, but that won’t stop him from telling me what is happening here. As I walked towards his office, there were hushed whispers coming from some of the bolder staffs who do not care about my wrath. It seems they do not
POV: Selina “You don’t have to do this, Lina. You heard the doctor, didn’t you? You need rest, that’s what he said, in case you forgot.” Amara yelled at me as I paced the room, waiting for the cops to pick me up. She wasn’t there in his office when he said I had an anxiety attack. If she was there, then she would understand why I needed to speak to an officer and get the full report from last night. Doctor George is right, I need to identify the cause of my panic attack and deal with it. In this case, I need to find out if Martin was anywhere around this vicinity last night. Upon returning home, I decided to contact the police to check if the surveillance footage captured any suspicious individuals lurking around my house yesterday. Luckily, I was able to speak with the officer who handled my case last night. He assured me that he is still working on my case and he told me there was no strange activity around my house last night. I pleaded and asked him to check a few blocks away
POV: Selina “H… H… How did you know I fell in the bathroom, I never said that to anyone, Martin. How did you know?” I asked in shock, my hands shaking in fear as I realized that he was also wearing a blue jean and boots like my attacker. I looked around me and almost all the guys around me had the same kind of boots and jeans too. I couldn’t take it anymore, my heart was beating faster and my entire body was shaking vigorously. The stalker could be Martin, it could be Felix, it could be any of these guys around me. I don’t know who it is or why he would want to hurt me and that hurts so bad. I thought I would be fine, but hearing Martin and realizing that the stalker might be Martin has left my emotions complex and uneasy. I’m feeling as if I have been drawn into an even deeper void. Everyone suddenly looked suspicious to me, I had to hold my head as it hurt so bad. “You must have said it while you were telling your story, I mean, how else would I know?” he asked jokingly, making
