Chapter 003

Tears brimmed in Selene's eyes.

What had she done? She was devastated at how she would explain this to her boyfriend.

She had promised to stay a virgin till she and Liam got married.

Even Liam knew this, and now this had happened, she lost her virginity to a total stranger. How was she going to tell him now?

A feeling of frustration settled in her heart.

Liam had loved her since junior grade.

When her stepmother used to make life overly miserable for her, Liam was always there to console her.

The only pleasant memory she ever had since her mother passed on and her father remarried was that of her and Liam. Her little brother was her playmate and relief mate too but he was sick and glued to a hospital bed now.

Her cries intensified as the thoughts of Liam's expression when she would tell him gnawed at her heart.

Liam doesn't deserve this.

He doesn't deserve to go through any heartbreak, he was the most amazing person she had in her life. The one who stood by her through everything.

Sometimes he also gave her money to add to and support his little brother at the hospital. Selene couldn't afford to lose him, he was her everything.

She sniffed in as she approached their gate.

Her thoughts still far and her heart saddened, then she heard her stepmother.

"Whore!"

Selene spun around to see her stepmom raging towards her with so much anger and bitterness.

"How dare you come back here after sleeping out last night??"

Selene was quiet, she had a lot going on in her mind to banter with her this morning.

Just then her sister came out.

"And you dare anger Mr Clinton yesterday? The CEO of MM?"

Selene bit on her lower lip.

She didn't mean for any of these things to happen.

Mr Clinton was a monster, even the drink, she realized she wasn't the one who had spilled it, and it was only a bait to get her.

She wasn't remorseful for the bottle she had smashed on his head, that was her self-defense.

If not she'd have been more devastated than she was feeling now.

But she would never forgive Mr Clinton for what he did to her yesterday. Making her commit this grave mistake.

"How dare you keep mute on us!" Mrs Sarah sent a resounding slap to her face.

Selene held her hurting cheeks.

"Mother." She whispered.

"Tell me where you get the nerve to anger the CEO of MM Corporation? You slut!"

She thundered.

"You don't even know what happened to me yesterday," Selene said through tears, her voice shaky.

"Mr Clinton tried to sleep with me!" She voiced but their expression remained indifferent.

"What was the big deal about that?" Sarah muttered. She knew she hated her so much but she never believed it could be up to this point.

"Mother, he tried to force himself on me!" She muttered one more time to be sure she heard her.

"Why didn't you let him? I mean you're already a whore, what's the big deal letting Mr Clinton do it? Now they've fired you." She patted bitterly while Anna smirked.

Selene felt shock run through her blood, her eyes opened wide as pain flickered through them. She never believed she could say such disgusting things to her.

Selene already had an ounce they were going to fire her, but how could they have truly fired her? She didn't even do anything wrong.

How would she get her brother's hospital bills now?

"No they can't do that, Mr Clinton was the one at fault, I need to get Jason's bills covered."

If she doesn't do this work, her stepmother would stop Jason's treatment.

"Your boss just called and terminated your contract."

Selene's tears only intensified. She had no problems if it was her, but her brother was involved, he needed this money, he needed his treatment.

"What about Jason?"

"That's your fault, just know you killed your brother!" Sarah spat.

More tears blinded Selene's eyes, this was not happening, her brother must not die, someone needed to save her brother, she wailed deeply.

Just then, a sly smile appeared on Sarah's lips.

"There's only one way to continue your brother's treatment."

Selene snapped her head up to her, she'd do anything, anything at all to save her brother's life.

"Get married." She muttered.

Selene's eyes flashed with confusion.

She and Liam weren't ready yet.

"Get married to the abandoned son of the Yates group."

Sudden gasp eloped from Selene’s lungs "That's the only way to keep your little Jason alive."

"But I have a boyfriend, what do you want me to do with him?"

"Boyfriend?" Anna smirked.

"You think Liam loves you? You're such a joker"

Selene had her forehead creased, what was Anna talking about? Selene and Liam had been together for years and everyone knew this.

"We are dating to be married soon, and Liam, loves me not you." Anna spat, not without a smirk.

"Liam is my boyfriend. I don't know what you're talking about." Selene defended, but Anna shook her head and laughed out loud.

"What if I tell you, I'm expecting his baby?" she rubbed her stomach.

What was going on? Selene's eyes darted around to be sure if this was a dream.

Liam she knew would never do such a thing to her, he would never cheat on her with her own sister. Liam was not like that.

"You still think I'm lying? Do you need me to give you proof?" Anna voiced, getting angry now at why she was finding it hard to believe her.

So what if Liam chose Selene first? But now he had chosen her so what was hard to believe.

"I'll give you proof now."

Anna brought out her phone and began dialing a number.

After a few rings, he picked up and Anna placed it on loudspeaker to everyone's hearing.

"Hello, Babe.." Anna muttered, her voice soft and delicate.

"I'm busy why did you call?" That was Liam's voice, he sounded cold and aloof.

Selene felt a sharp pain crush through her chest, she could never mistake Liam's voice.

Anna was right.

Selene never believed Liam could ever betray her like this.

She had loved him with the whole of her heart, Liam had done the same, at least so she thought, how could he have deceived her for so long?

"I just want to tell you, that the doctor called earlier and said I should come for a check-up later." Anna continued, making sure Selene got every bit of it.

"Okay, you should go then." Liam sounded a bit off and uninterested but Anna tried everything within her to mask it up.

"You're coming with me right baby, our child needs you too?"She muttered.

This stung Selene hard, her hand shook, Liam cheated on her and they were even expecting a baby.

Even if Liam was going to cheat on her, he didn't even respect her enough to use protection and why did it have to be her sister?
