SELENA’S POV:

He had on a blue shirt and the sleeves were rolled up and the two buttons rolled down, he stood next to Mr Gunnerside’s assistant, Jerald, who was at least around the same age bracket as the both of us and he had on black pants to match. His face instantly lit up as soon as he saw me and I forced a smile.

Mr Gunnerside had some work to complete back home so he had sent his assistant. Sometimes I felt I was overworking him especially at his age but he didn’t seem to have any complaints with it. In fact, it served as an adventure for him and his beautiful wife.

“Good afternoon.” I shook hands with him and he smiled, greeting me the same. Then I shook hands with Jerald who looked surprisingly anxious.

“So are you ready for the tour?” He inquired and I looked straight ahead with a satisfied smile.

    3RD POV:“Mrs Scott, please stay in the car. What are you…” He trailed when he noticed she wasn’t paying him any attention and he hurriedly got out of the car knowing the type of punishment that would be bestowed upon him if even a strand of her is inflicted.“Selena…oh…Monica Scott.” He smiled mischievously as he stood in front of her dressed in a black jean and a black shirt as well as black jean jacket topped off with a black head warmer. His eyes even looked darker than usual and Selena could feel cold air hit her face as soon as he called her name looking at her from head to toe.“David Sanders ... .To what do I owe this stalking?” She inquired, making him laugh humorously and stare at her.“Are you really asking that, Selena?” He walked closer towards her and she was instantly hit with the flashback of his abuse knowing exactly how the color in his eyes changed, how his jaw clenched and unclenched. He really is about to hit me here? She thought to herself in disbelief staring i

He was in utter disbelief as he walked towards them with anger fueling his every step, and even with the noises being made, all he could hear was nothing except his heart pounding.Right in front of him stood Selena, Mr Zee and David. David looked at Selena with fury while Selena held onto her arm which she was sure had a bruise with the way he grabbed her arm aggressively. But just as he grabbed her arm, she kicked him in the genitals making him loosen his grip on her and fall back and while he was still wincing in pain, Mr Zee punched him making him groan and fall to the ground but he quickly brought out a pocket knife threatening them with it. Just then came Henry’s arrival as well as the extra security guards Mr Zee requested for.“What’s going on here? Are you okay?” He looked at Selena and tried to grab her hands but she winced and Henry didn’t take that lig

After two days, David was released as the security officers at the hotel thought it would be best to call the police, therefore he was arrested for assault and Selena’s bruise was brought in as evidence. His lawyers, as employed by Sandra, met up with Selena and Henry, and after so much persuasion they agreed that they would draw up documents for the restraining order but rejected any form of damages. Henry simply said, “He should keep all that coins he has left because if he dares to come near my wife and tries to touch her. His entire family will not just be scraped of every single dime but they will be dealt with my way. And trust me, that is not a good thing neither is not a threat but an assurance.” He held eye contact with the lawyer so much so that she shivered after he was done speaking.

I really wondered who was this relative she was going to see and why I had never met them but I let her be because at the end of the day, I was in a mansion without her constant nagging and without hearing the sound of her voice and feeling her presence.

Things have been different between us and I miss spending quality time with you.” I told him softly, standing behind him as he stared at himself in the mirror fixing up his tie, getting ready for work.He chuckled softly, “Why do you always do this, Selena?”“Do what? Try to spend time with my husband?” I asked, stepping back in fear that my simple request was aggravating him.David turned around, staring deep into my blue eyes and clenched and unclenched his jaw. It seemed everything I needed lately irritated him to the core and he was literally just the meanest person to me these past few weeks. He had changed like a switch and I still couldn't believe that was him, it was so absurd.“Really? Is that all this is about? Or is this your way of monitoring me and the company?” He asked folding his arms across his chest, and I furrowed my eyebrow looking at him with hurt.“David, you know I trust you with everything, my life and all I

We were both young and totally in love and had each other's support and it was so amazing. It had been a whole week since I had seen Sandra and about three days since I had seen my husband. David had travelled for a business trip and he had failed to disclose where the business trip was situated nor how long he would be gone for.It wasn't strange since the last time we saw wasn't exactly a peaceful moment. I had complained about him coming home late these past few days and never being around as well as occasionally coming back tipsy, and he got extremely mad, which explains the bruises on my arm and hand print on my rosy cheeks, but it was nothing a good make up couldn't hide.Plus it was my fault, I was the one naggin
