Chapter 1

I wiped my hands on my apron just as I finished setting table for dinner. I look at my wrist watch and notice its ten minutes past the time Alexander usually comes home. I walk into the kitchen and went to the kitchen counter to check my phone. I notice one of the new notifications is from his assistant, I open the text and it says his boss is not coming for dinner as he has had something come up, as usual.

I look at all the food I've prepared and feel frustrated. I spent hours preparing this food like a 'Good wife' should and my husband won't even eat it. Two months of marriage. Two months of I'm busy. Two months of wasted time and energy, to think I would give up. NO. I keep on setting myself up for more pain and hurt, but I love him. Been in love with him for years. Constantly falling from a distance. However, I understand he didn't want this and grandma always tells me not to give, to just give him time. Grandpa too, never liked her but he grew to love her till the very end and Alex will too. I'm sure of it. I look at the maids and cook in the kitchen who are looking at me with pity in their eyes. I look away from them and walk towards the door.

"Please share the food among yourselves, you can even carry it to your families." The head maid called out asking if I was eating to which I refused. I made myself look all pensive and disheartened.

I climbed the stairs to my room where I lock the door and made aphone call

"Are you ready?" Carlos asked.

Carlos Diaz is my longtime friend and informant. Anything you want to know about anyone, he's your guy. "Almost. But you can come pick me up." I tell him as I rush to the bathroom to take a brief shower. When I finished, I wore a long and colorful bohemian skirt with a white shirt, I tied my black hair back and put on a little lip gloss before grabbing my phone and bag and rushing out. I find his black Camaro outside the gate.

"Looking…. Interesting?" he said with an amused expression. I look him dead in the eye and tell him we should go.

The Diamond Pavilion is a huge infrastructural masterpiece, having a hundred years ago. It's known as one of the country's greatest beauty. Even though its old, all the renovations over years have kept it up to date and is the top and most expensive place to stay or eat. It's attached to the mall and has a main restaurant. This restaurant is expensive and requires days in advance to book a table but for car holders its easy. Lucky enough grandma has one, being the head of the family. I'm meeting her for our monthly dinner after all I have done all my duties for the day as a wife. Carlos has a family dinner with some out-of-town relatives who wanted to show off their ability to host such a lavish dinner.

As we walked in I received a text from both her saying shewon't make it. Knowing her, she's probably trying to set Alex and I up hoping we'll spend the night together.

"I've been stood up. She has decided not to come. "I said with amusement and frustration.

"You can still join me." He offers and I look at him like he's. I haven't met all his family but I do know I'm not dressed or mentally prepared to deal with them. He looks at me with puppy eyes.

"Please, you know I don't like having to deal with them." Carlos' is third generation rich. His grandfather started the Diaz group and his uncle, the first son is the current head. Carlos' dad is a lawyer and the 3rd son but the favorite. Meaning Carlos is the favorite and most privileged grandchild. Both grandparents have spoiled him for years getting whatever he wants.

Carlos is your typical pretty boy, blond hair, cute blue eyes. Tall and muscular. Not gym buff but model slender. This goes with his career choice, the country's top actor and model. Going out with him is just a cry for attention luckily, he has mastered the art of disguise so I'm safe. For now.

Because his dad doesn't have as much money as the older brothers who have chip on their shoulder for how their dad spoils Carlos and his dad.

I vehemently decline, I'm not in the mood for that kind of crazy but somehow, he manages to wear me down.

We walk in to the building. The lobby is designed extravagantly with golden finishes. The colors are vibrant, eye catching and obviously top quality. Well, that's to be expected of such a place. It does after all cater to well to do people. An ordinary house wife such as myself, who's in a secret marriage can't dare to flash my tails like some of these peacocks do.

The waiter escorts us to the box. This room is designed even more luxurious than the lobby. But I guess that's to be expected of the Golden box. His family look up at us as we enter. I can see the contempt on their faces as they look at me. They are dressed lavishly to match their surroundings unlike me who looks like some hobo. Until his mother stands up to address him.

"Carlos, finally. We've been waiting for you and who is this?" I move to stand next to him and bow my head in respect. "Hello Mrs. Diaz, I am Selene Wade. A friend of Carlos." I say as they all look at me. His mother, a person I know to be snobbish, looked at me in disgust. "I'm sorry, I'm not dressed appropriately. Carlos sprung this on me last minute but it's an honor to meet the family that raised such a wonderful man." I say with flattery.

An old woman looked at me and smiled telling us to sit down and join them. The dinner was awkward with most people ignoring mewhilst others made looks of contempt.

"So, Carlos how's the new movie going?" Grandpa Diaz asked Carlos. "Okay, will be starting filming on Monday." He said without looking up from his plate. The dinner dragged on from then on. A few underhanded comments from his cousins and aunts but its all nothing I'm not used to. Being married in the Black family with no proper social background except for the fact that Granda Mary told Alexander that in order for her to pass on her voting rights in the company and officially make the next patriarch he needed to marry me. This had displeased a lot of people. Because of this I'm used to having a mans family hate. The difference is that with Carlos' family I don't have to put up unlike Alexander whom I love and would do any thing to not cause drama or unnecessary confusion.

The dinner soon came to an end and Carlos drove me home. When I walked in to my room, I found it empty. It seems he's not yet back. I'm not even sure he'll be coming back or spending the night at his apartment.

I grab my phone and dial his number. He answers on the fourth ring. "What?"

"I'm just calling to check on you, have you eaten?" I ask sheepishly. Even through the phone I can feel his annoyance. "Is that why you could?" he asked angrily.

"I just…" I couldn't finish my statement as I heard a female voice asking who he is talking to. "Just go to sleep Selene." The phone call cuts and I just feebly stare at my phone. I know that voice, it belongs to Emma Thompson.

Chapter 2
Emma Thompson, a woman I've found and come to tolerate in his life. She's the daughter of father in laws bestfriend. Having grown up together and constantly been eachothers dates to countless events, everyone expected her to marry him. I'm pretty sure she herself expected to marry him. But I came along. We all know the Thompsons are a very cruel and cunning family. I sometimes wonder if Alex is really that oblivious or he just turns a blind eye to them. I stare at my phone wondering how I came to this, a life of constantly begging and hoping for a man to love and acknowledge me. It pains me but I love him too much to leave or be angry. Just being around him, having his last name is enough for me. I put my phone on my bedside table and turn off the lights to sleep. ~♡~ I open my eyes to sun beams that almost blind me and I realise I forgot to close the blinds the previous night. I hear a knock and realise that that's what woke me. "Come in!" I exclaim as I sit up in my bed.

Chapter 3
I follow her up the stairs and stop outside her door which is slightly ajar. I can see her cry and hear complain about why I seem to care more about Emma. I turn away and just leave the house. I try to avoid this house as much as I can. Honestly it's not that I choose Emma over her or prefer her over Selene but she's more familiar and not suspicious. Selene just appeared out of nowhere when grandma brought her to the family house sometime after Grandpa died. I trust Grandma explicitly on everything but when it comes to this girl that came out of nowhere, from this small village in the outskirts and comes to this city to marry as a way for me to inherit the company completely. ~♡~ "I welcome all of you to the reading of Jack Black will," the family lawyer Mr. Dominic O'Connor said. During the meeting Grandma walked in with Selene a girl grandma and grandpa had taken in as she was the grandchild of a friend of hers a few years back when she was just 16. Everyone is wondering

Chapter 4
I wake up from my crying induced sleep. I check my bedside clock and it shows 6pm. I grab my phone and find mised calls from Grandma and Carlos. I grab it and first call grandma. She answers on the 3rd ring. "Hi, grammy." I weakly say. "Selene, are you ready for the Howard benefit?" She asks. I look up to the ceiling and rub my face as I sigh. "I'm not," "Why not?" She asks seeming quite shocked. "You have to, this will be your first function as a couple. You need to show the world a strong unity. You are his wife, not Emma. You need to act like it and show her you are not one to trifle or walk all over." I listen to her talk and as much as I'm avoiding conflict, I need to get my husband back. Take my place as Mrs. Black and show that mosquito that I'm not a person she can bite but hope to still stay alive. ~♡~ I look at myself in the mirror as my maid had just finished helping me with my make up. My phone rings and I pick it up. "Are you ready?" Carlos asks me. "

I wake up to an empty room and bed. It seems he has already left, not surprised there but it still felt amazing sleeping his arms, breahing in his scent. Honestly, he's one fine. I woke up in the middle of thebnight and couldn't help but feel his and abs. 'Squeel' I finally get out of bed and walk into the shower. Hopefully tonight I'll get to have a proper bath but now I need to get busy, operation get my husband back is a go. ~♡~ After dressing up, I went to the dining room to have my breakfast but instead I find my husband in a suit having breakfast whilst reading a newspaper. I look to the clock and it says 8 :30 am, he's usually already in the office by now. "Ah, you are finally up." he states and smiles at me. I know I made plans to spend more time with him but seeing him here just feels weird. "Yes." I respond before walking up to the table and sitting down at the end of it, the maids set it up and food is then brought. We then eat in silence. ~♡~ From that

Chapter 6
I walk out of the shower that I really needed. When I had looked behind me and found an angry Alex, it came as both shock and a relief. I have never seen him so mad. He took Emma into his office and called her father, usually he treats her with care but in that moment it seemed he would have killed her no questions asked. That frightened me because not that I'm ever planning to do something to make him that angry but i still ask myself what would he do to me. Her father came with father in law and he tried to play the I'm your father card just let her go and forgive her but that man seems to be forgetting his son is a cruel and crazy man whose silence should not be mistaken for weakness. I heard through the vines that Alex lived and made a name for himself as mercenary when he was away. He also seemed to participate in war in the middle east. He does look scary and dangerous with his imposing height at 6'5 and the grizzly beard on his face looking more like a cave man or even

Chapter 7
I wake up to an empty room, something I'm used to but as I look next to me, I realize Alex never came back last night and it pains me. Eventhough I'm used to it, I thought we were past it. I get ready for the day, just as I was going down the stairs my phone rings. I see it's Carlos, It has been a while since we last spoke. "Hey, how are you?" I answer the call. "Selene, I've got news." he states. I pause at the landing as he continues to tell me of news he over heard his dad discuss with his Grandpa, it both came as a shock and a predictable event. I had my breakfast whilst checking the latest news, I see the headline that stated father in law had given up his shares and rights to Alex, a small win. I decided to spend my day with Grandma, so I had my driver take me there. On the way there, our car was stopped by a black van. Armored men came out and towards my car. I found this suspicious and tried calling Alex whilst the driver reached out to the police too. He left his

Chapter 8
We finally reached the warehouse, unfortunately it was out of the city so I had Emmet arrange a helicopter to take us there. He also got in contact with the police. I had all the information on the Emma and her family submitted to them. They are beginning to be a pain I want to get rid of immediately. The warehouse had a few guards here and there but my men had them subdued as quietly and swiftly as possible. I disembarked the helicopter and walked towards the door but then the police came and tried to take over the situation, saying it might not be safe to enter yet. But I can't just wait for them to assess the situation, my wife is in there and I don't know what condition she might be in. I ignore their words and walk in to find Selene being dragged towards Emma who is about to stab her. The police say freeze but one of my men who is a sniper had already shot Emma's hand making her drop the knife. I would have preferred a shot to the head but with the presence of the police

Chapter 9
"Well it seems because this is their first misdemeanor and because as much as the police fear the Black family they can't afford to offend the Thompson family too, so they've been released but still have to do community service for 2 months." He said without looking at Mr. I was pissed, I slapped the table in anger. I both couldn't and could believe what was happening but it is understandable, the only way to truly hurt the Thompsons is through their business but nor yet. I'll wait for the right moment to make them all pay. ~♤~ It has been 3 days since the incident happened. The Thompson siblings were released but to prevent further implication Elder Thompson had them shipped off to America. it's a good thing they are out and away from our lives. I've been spending my nights at the hospital and only leaving to shower and for a few unavoidable meetings. Her colour is coming in, she no longer looks ghostly white. Her bruises are slowly fading though still look a deep purpl

Chapter 10
After the doctors had done a few more tests on Selene, she was later on discharged. I decided to stop going for work during this period but instead work at home so that I can properly monitor. Mrs. Smith decided to move in with us during this period as I thought it would be good for her to have a familiar face like her to overcome this equally traumatic experience. Lots of people have been speculating on what happened with the Thompson siblings as news of the incarceration spread. As well as the news of them moving to America to live with relatives there. Things between Selene and i got really quiet, we came to a semblance of a routine to spend time together and for me to get to know her. I smile as I watch her mess with the little kitten we adopted or rather the cat adopted us. We had found her under the car on our way out of the hospital and since the two have been inseparable. ~♤~ Things have been really quiet. I love the peace we have been experiencing since the incide
