Selina' POVThe evening glow seeped in, making the room warm and bright. I was sitting on the sofa with my back resting on the armrest. My right leg was kissing the floor while my left leg lay on the sofa. My left foot was heavily bandaged, I was immobile.I was almost hospitalized but didn't want it. I hated hospitals, the smell and all usually made me nauseous.“It is best that you stay on admission here. But if you insist on leaving, we will let you go only in one condition,” the doctor raised up a finger, “... You will remain immobile. If you don't, you will end up here in a worse condition.” He warned.What I had thought to be an ordinary sprain turned out to be dislocation. It had swollen before we left Orley and the pain was unbearable. When we hit back to town, I was admitted alongside Mr Alfred. But while Mr Alfred remained in the hospital under security, here I am back in the warmth of my room. I hated hospitals!Tyler and Zick took the intruder who we cut to the police sta
Selina's POV“Get her!” One growled and threw a knife.The knife went Tyler's way but Todd pushed him out of the way. The knife swooped past them and dropped on the floor.Get her? Did he mean me? That means they recognised me and knew I would come around today. Our plan must have leaked and they wanted to get rid of Mr Alfred and me.My rage soared. With my foot, I kicked up Zick's pistol that was on the floor. I plunged forward, picked the pistol amidst air and fired a warning shot on the wall.The attackers panicked, but one charged towards me blindly. I sidestepped, kicking his knee with brutal precision. He crashed to the floor with a thud.Before I could balance, the other one raised his switchblade and lunged toward Alfred.Fists landed like hammers as Dray tackled him.The one I pinned to the ground wanted to pull my foot to knock me down but I pinned him down and aimed my gun at him, my hand on the trigger.He fidgeted and I roared,“Who sent you!?”He remained silent and loo
Selina's POV“Orley? That is the outskirts of the city!” Driver Fox exclaimed as he punched the address in the GPS navigator.“Yes. I'm searching for someone…”“They possibly live in the shack!” Fox exclaimed.“Seat tight, we are in for a long drive,” he muttered.“Yes, Orley is about a two hour drive,” Tyler and Todd supplied.I wanted to go discreetly but on second thought, I made Tyler join me. It would be good to have someone who recognises Mr Alfred around. Tyler had been my father's assistant for about seven years now so I was rest assured that he recognised Mr Alfred and Mr Alfred also recognised him.Tyler came with Todd and insisted that he go with us. Todd was a guard and mercenary from a private security company. Todd maintained that he wanted us to have an escort and he didn't want to bring our men in the security department since the mission was meant to be a secret.“We are only bringing in an old man. Dray and Zick are enough... we don't need escorts.” I protested.“Yes
Selina's POV The night was a terrible one, I couldn't fall asleep. I turned, rolled and groaned on the bed as nightmares came in an endless cycle.Faces from the past – Max's molestations and assaults, Mrs Silver's maltreatment, Brian's betrayal, my father's cold and silent gaze, and then Travis’ painful cries when I hit his balls. They all turned into faceless images, tugging vehemently at my heart.When I had had enough, I screamed out loud and my eyes flung open. Slowly, I sat up on the bed, I didn't sleep a wink, and my body felt like a log of wood. I dragged myself to the mirror and gasped, there were dark circles under my eyes. It must have been as a result of accumulated stress.“I will fix this during the weekend… Right now, I had to prepare Travis' breakfast and prepare to resume work.”Tying up my hair, I rushed to the kitchen and began to cook. It was my special recipe. French toast with berries, creamy scrambled eggs. Fresh orange juice. Coffee, strong and black, just th
Selina's POV The room was empty and I was standing alone. Do something you bitch! I yelled at myself and scampered around.Apology! Yes, I should shouldn't let him leave like that. I should apologize.“Wait!!” I screeched and pulled the door open. I ran after Travis but he didn't wait. He bolted out of the gates and vanished out of sight.Tears clouded my vision but I didn't stop. I ran until I reached the gates. I pulled the gates open and pressed forward but came to a screeching halt. I was just wearing a t-shirt with a pair of panties beneath. I was practically naked.There on my feet, I looked around, searching the dark but Travis was gone.I shut my eyes and wobbled back in dejectedly.My back crashed against the wall as tears burned in the corners of my eyes.“What the heck is wrong with me? Even if I wasn't ready, that was too impulsive, I shouldn't have done that,” I mumbled nervously as I pressed trembling fingers to my lips. Quiet and still, I tugged at the hem of my shi
Travis' POVI smirked when I saw Selina walking in. Finally, she is here. Did she purposely return late to avoid me? A funny feeling run down my throat. I had never waited for any woman in my life. Whatever… tonight it is.I picked up the lingerie box and made way into the cold night.When I got to Selina's apartment, it was a blast. A blast of jazz music and a maniac laughter filled the air. The door was unlocked so didn't need the key card. I knocked but she didn't hear me. I walked in but she didn't know that I had entered.I chuckled as I made out her outline in the dim light.Unaware, glowing, half-dressed and gorgeous dead beautiful! Her hips moved in slow circles, hair tumbled down her back. Her shirt barely covered her thighs, and her bare feet padded softly across the floor. She danced with herself, flowing with the rhythm of the music.She took a sip from the wine glass held in her hand and chuckled to herself, completely lost in her world.I remained there, watching in
