SELENA’s POV:

TWO DAYS LATER:

The past two days had been a whole lot of rest and research for me whenever Henry fell asleep. I wanted to know everything but I wanted to sleep as well and eat a whole lot as well.

An hour ago, our flight landed back home and I had carried nothing nor packed a single thing due to Henry’s overprotection, he and the help had done it all. I wasn’t even allowed to carry my purse. My fear right now was that he wouldn’t allow me resume back to work but I had a whole argument prepared with great points to counter whatever he had to say.

I laid on his shoulder and his hands were around my waist, under my shirt rubbing my belly though there was no bump there. The doctor had shared that it was normal even with not realizing that I was pregnant. My baby and I were healthy.

We were just a couple minutes away from home and I scrolled through my email mentally jotting down all I needed to review and meetings ahead while listening to Henry talk about the toys and

    3RD POV:A FEW DAYS LATER:Sandra sat in the waiting room, waiting anxiously for David, who at his bail hearing was denied bail, he was livid as he was recognized not only as a threat to the Scott’s but to the entire society. Sandra’s hair was packed up in a messy bun, and she had a mid-thigh dress as well as a fur jacket to match as winter was approaching. She was trying her best to look composed even in this times where it felt like all was lost. She blinked repeatedly, watching as David was brought into the visiting area, with cuffs on his hand and he was just changed into his prison clothes, looking tired and still as mad as ever.The officer removed the handcuffs just as he sat before Sandra, then he walked off excusing them but before leaving he announced that they only had ten minutes to converse.“I would ask, ‘how are you?’ but I can already tell you look like crap and smell like one too.” Sandra said, scrunching up her nose and David just stared at her unmoved.“How’s my s

  • Take My Husband, Let Me Marry Yours   Held Together by Love

    SELENA’S POV:“It’s not you….I just didn’t realize how much this threat affected me until this very moment.” I said in between, and he got up and grabbed me by my hand lifting me up.“Talk to me.” He embraced me and I leaned closer to his chest and rocked up back and forth.After about five minutes and my tears had died down, and I responded, “I know he’s in jail but I don’t feel it’s over. I have this bad feeling something is going to happen, every single day I go to work, before stepping into the premises, I request a thorough search because I don’t feel safe nor do I want to put the life of my staff at risk. I’m scared and there’s nothing anyone can do about it. I have been so overwhelmed, just thinking about what could have been.”“But right now….I’m not going to let him have any control over me. Not anymore, not ever again. I’m sorry.” I hugged him tightly after uttering those words and I meant it from my heart and Henry knew that which is why, he simply kissed the top of my head

  • Take My Husband, Let Me Marry Yours   “In the Softness of His Hands

    SELENA’S POV:A FEW WEEKS LATER:“Are you okay? You have everything you need?” Henry asked as I grabbed my gold clutch bag and I nodded slowly in response.After almost two weeks since the threat and David’s arrest, I can proudly say that I heard the question, ‘Are you okay?’ and ‘Are you sure you’re alright?’, more than a thousand times just from Henry. Friends and family called to check in everyday, I was surprised at their consistency as it seemed like they had a timetable or sort. They called at seven in the morning and in the evening, Julian had no idea what to say on his turn to call so he made jokes and weird noises, I just hung up.Cherry had even suggested therapy but I sent a memo to everyone earlier today, stating I was well and didn’t need anything and most especially no more calls. I proceeded to ask Henry while he made me lunch on a beautiful Sunday, if we could go out tonight and in a heartbeat he agreed. “I will plan everything, all you need to do is look perfect like

  • Take My Husband, Let Me Marry Yours   A Secret Obsession

    3RD POV:THE NEXT DAY:“What do you mean? I don’t even understand what you’re talking about…..No, you’re going to slowly explain to me what in the world is going on…..” Sandra spoke over the phone, holding her forehead in annoyance.“I’m listening to you.” She answered as she rose up to her feet, grabbed the remote which was laying on the center table and switched on the television. Her hair was packed up in a messy bun, and she had on a long free blue polka dots gown. She was simply having a relaxing morning keeping away gadgets and devices, simply reading a magazine, enjoying breakfast and caring for her son. She was waiting for David, but she didn’t really care about him at the same time. She was enjoying his absence but just after an hour into her quiet time, especially with her baby boy relaxing, she received a call from the station.Sandra sat numbly on the couch, her fingers wrapped tightly around the remote, barely hearing the voice droning from the TV.“Breaking news: Busine

  • Take My Husband, Let Me Marry Yours   In the Hands of a Madman

    SELENA’S POV:Then he kissed my forehead letting out a breath, and exhaled happily. He was alright. He was alright.His hard gaze shifted to Joey, narrowing. Joey, clueless, or pretending to be, stepped forward, offering a hand."Hey, Henry," he said smoothly. "Good to see you, man. We—"Henry cut him off with a look that could freeze boiling water. He didn’t take the offered hand. Didn’t say a word. Just shifted his body slightly to block me from Joey’s view, his hand finding the small of my back protectively.Joey’s smile faltered.I could feel the tension, the heavy electric charge between them. I needed to diffuse it fast."Joey," I said tightly, stepping sideways so Henry’s hand slid away. "Go. Please. Thank you for your help but... it's enough now."For a heartbeat, Joey didn’t move. He just stood there, staring at me like he expected something else, something more. My stomach twisted at the look on his face, a look that was too raw, too familiar for comfort.Finally, he nodded

  • Take My Husband, Let Me Marry Yours   A Smile That Lied

    SELENA’S POV:THAT SAME DAY:“We have our officers everywhere mentioned, the park, the stores back in your city, the new construction site and this office. They are searching the premises and guarding it as well, we take this case quite seriously Mrs Scott.” The Police Chief explained to Joey and I and I kept pacing back and forth trying to get a grip of this situation and speak to my husband but there was still no answer from him and it made me even more worried.I took in deep breath shutting my eyes and halting in my steps. I heard Joey mutter an appreciation and I did the same walking up to him and shaking his hands “Thank you Chief.” “You’re welcome ma’am, we will keep you updated.” He said and I nodded watching as he walked out of my office with Joey escorting him out.Just then I received a text message from Nanny Solidat with a picture of Hailey watching a movie and giggling, along with a text stating, ‘We are at home and safe. The officers and guards are surveying the areas.

  • Take My Husband, Let Me Marry Yours   Between Fire and Fear

    SELENA’S POV:Just before I was about to respond to her as we walked, my phone dinged in my hands and it was one message from my husband wishing it all goes well and another from Joey just checking up on me. The double date was to be held tomorrow night, I’m sure he was just making sure we were not backing out.But just before I could even respond, he sent another message, saying I looked pretty in my brown suit fit and with my hair down, which made me frown looking around.“Ma’am, we don’t want to be late.” She said as the elevator doors opened and I quickly rushed towards trying to get Joey out of my mind.What was he doing here? And where was he?***********AT NOON:After a very intense meeting, with all the questions being thrown at me as well as questions now that a lot of investors were pulling out, as well as shareholders thinking about selling their shares, rather than answering all, I threw the questions back to the Chief Financial Officer and all the other executives, takin

  • Take My Husband, Let Me Marry Yours   Our Favorite CEO

    SELENA’S POV:A WEEK LATER:“Congratulations my beautiful girls!” I squealed in excitement as I congratulated both Cherry and Zoey as we were all on a group video call.I was on my way to work, seated in the back seat fixing up bumble pink lipstick and hair. I couldn’t even pretend I wasn’t irritated having to leave home at seven in the morning but this was my first time being back at the company my father had poured his life into and I wanted to be excited but rather I was scared and angry. It just made me so mad at both myself for giving everything and trusting it all to a man like David and I wanted to shift some of my anger on David but it wasn’t even needed or reasonable, he was incompetent from the start and I was just blinded.But just like as my therapist had shared, What was the point of being mad at your past self when you couldn’t go back and change any action or decision made? And it always lifted a burden every time I thought of her words.While in the car thinking, the c

    HENRY’S POV:“I’m doing better my love. I’ve taken my medicine and I’m just relaxing with our baby girl before going out for some father-daughter time.” I answered switching to a video call and as soon as she answered, I could see the skepticism in her facial expression but probably seeing my face eased her up just like I knew it would. “Alright. I will be back soon with your favorites. I have this meeting to get back to, but I will see you soon.” She assured me and I nodded but decided to tease.“So you left your meeting for me? Uhn, beautiful?” I asked suggestively and she rolled her eyes playfully displaying her beautiful smile I adored.“I’d leave anything for you, you know that, handsome.” She spoke cutely and all I wanted to do in that moment was kiss her but I knew I would soon, so I let her go and let her know I loved her.It was around half-past four in the evening when I decided to take Hailey to the park. She had just woken up from her nap, looking all refreshed and full o
