REVENGE GONE WRONG Jealousy
The press conference was held in the company press room. They both sat together, with some of the shareholders in attendance. The press was taking pictures, recording, and asking questions from the workers about their relationship. Selena knew it was all scripted because they only had good things to say about them. She made sure her smile looked genuine enough."So are you going to tell us your romantic story, Mrs. Andrei? I mean you were Mr. Andrei PA before he put a ring on it right" she singsong in a chirpy voice_an attempt on her part to lighten the tense atmosphere. Selena didn't appreciate it because it put her in the spotlight. She cleared her throat and then felt Andrei's hand which held hers, squeeze a little.She forced a wider smile, turning to gaze at Andrei."Well, we fell in love while working together. He was bossy, demanding, he wanted everything done perfectly, and let me tell you that did drive me a little crazy in the beginning, you all know what I mean" she joked.
REVENGE GONE WRONG Tears.
Selena stood facing Jose who looked like he had a lot to say but was holding himself back as much as he could."We can't just keep standing...""Of course, I know" he cuts her off aggressively and proceeded to ruffle his hair in frustration. "That bullshit press conference...I know you were lying Selena, you never loved him. You don't love him."She crossed her arms making sure she gave nothing away."Well maybe you don't know me that well"" You think so? I saved your life when you were wallowing in despair Selena, I bloody took care of you and this is how you fucking pay me back" he hissed finally letting his anger get the best of him. Selena frowned."We are family Jose, it was your responsibility or should I say obligation to do all those things for me. Why do you make it sound like I was a stranger you picked from the gutters" she said angrily feeling an odd gap in her chest that made it a little difficult to breathe. She took notice of the other workers who occasionally passed b
REVENGE GONE WRONG Allergies. plans.
Selena POV.I hate him! So help me God I hate him!I stood in the kitchen replaying everything that took place at the office. It was degrading.I couldn't take it anymore! He took my father away from me and now he wants to break me and turn me into an obedient little pet who jumps at his command.I placed the soup Andria made on the steamer. He had cameras placed everywhere. It was sickening! Comes with the territory I guess. Like the adage says, there is no rest for the wicked.Not even in his own house. Or his office.Andrei markos. The multibillionaire who thinks the world should crawl at his feet if he so much as take a breath.He was good at taking charge_I could give him that, but now I wanted to end it all.I would get everything if he was dead anyway. I guess it's the perks of being married. To say a man like him, was deadly allergic to garlic was hilarious.Got me thinking he might be a vampire after all since he was so cold-hearted and emotionless. I wonder if I place my ear
REVENGE GONE WRONG New light.
Andrei POVI open my heavy eyes, flinching them close as the light from the curtains hits directly across my face.My body aches everywhere like a sack of bricks had been used to hit me all over. I have never felt so weak and vulnerable in my entire life. With much difficulty, I turn on my side only to freeze as I see Selena slouching on the couch with her head falling forward, her hair obscuring her face from my view.A wet towel hangs between her nimb hand. Her grasp was light and it was slipping off as she slept.I rest on my elbow as I stare at her. Taking in every outline of her.I could still hear her voice ringing in my ears from last night. It tugged at something in my heart, making me feel like I was choking on something-foreign emotions.No one had ever panicked in that manner over me, not even my family. Heck, they didn't even scream when I first got shot. It was normal for them to think I had everything under control and that nothing could hurt me.I knew she had spiced m
REVENGE GONE WRONG Confession.
Selena felt the strain in her eyes. They were almost about to pop from their socket, going by the way she had been surprised at every turn throughout the day. What was he doing here? The utmost worry in her mind was getting him to leave before Andrei came back. She didn't want any trouble brewing, after their short moment of respite."Hi Selena" he muttered ignoring her question. His warm brown eyes scanned over her body in a way that would have had her heart fluttering in the past, but she only worried, too strung up on Andrei's words to even feel anything at the moment."Am sorry....but, this is not a good time Jayden. Why did you even come here?""You left me at our lunch date and you didn't even bother to reach me. Are you avoiding me now?". He accused, gazing at her warily.She frowned " of course not! I just have a lot to do and am married now Jay, you don't expect me to get around much like I use to do"."Why are you suddenly creating such a big void, making a fuss between us j
REVENGE GONE WRONG Confrontation. Out of control
The door opened, a sought of foreboding air infiltrating the room. Selena flew up from where she sat, her heart rate increasing rapidly as Enrique stepped into the room.He stared at her darkly until she felt her palm sweating from the nerve and the guilt that suddenly assailed her. Did he know about the cameras, why was he so cold. It was so darn frustrating to get a read on him. It was making me feel on edge.She didn't understand why she felt the way she did. It was almost comical, she was worrying over the man she hated all her life, the man who caused her to lose her father.There was evidence now, giving rise to the possibility that her father was innocent if the signature came out negative.Why do I have to care if he saw me with another man? He was still seeing his other women right. She couldn't admit to herself that she felt dark emotions or hurt when she thought about it.Her eyes darted around as he kept staring at her, making her weary. He stepped close to her and she jer
REVENGE GONE WRONG Revealing the truth.
Selena gazed into his eyes, his soul bared to her, but it was vice-versa, she felt like he was looking deep into her heart. She bit on her lips as sudden nerves assailed her."You have feelings for me," he said, voice so raw it made her stomach twist until his expression hardened. " You're lying again"."Am not! .....Fine, believe what you want then. Do you think it is easy for me to admit that to you? Do you have an idea of how it feels? I know I'm betraying my father for feeling this way towards you. It's all your fault" she accused not breaking eye contact.His facial expression softened but the uncertainty on his face didn't completely disappear. He watched her closely as if trying to get into her head, to figure out what she was thinking."I want you to be with me," he said suddenly, his hand caressing her cheek like they were fragile precious stones."Why?" She asked, trying to focus on the conversation and not the sensation his touch ignited through her body."Because you make
REVENGE GONE WRONG Trapped.
