SELENAI could feel the cold steel of the pocket knife pressed against my cheek. The man gripped my hair, pulling my head back to expose more of my face. I remained as still as possible, not daring to make a move that might provoke him.My eyes were red with tears streaming down my face to my ear.Just then, there was a knock at the door. The man paused, glancing over at the door with the pocket knife still in place. For a moment, I held my breath, hoping whoever it was would make him stop whatever he wanted to do."Speak," the man yelled, his voice rough and menacing."We are live boss," came a muffled reply from the other side of the door.I could see a glint of happiness in the man's eyes as he stared at me, the pocket knife still hovering in front of my face. He cupped my face tightly leaning closer as I winced in pain, "So, Mrs Selena Frazier, let's discuss," he said letting go of my face and snapping his finger as the door opened on cue with two men stepping inside.They bowed
AIDENI couldn't believe what I had just read on the note.Anger boiled inside me as I squeezed the paper in my hand, crumpling it into a ball. As I entered my mansion and headed to my library, I could hear the maids whispering amongst themselves about my unusual behavior, but I didn't care, I was certain by now that they were aware of my predicament.My mind was consumed with thoughts of how to help Selena as soon as possible. "Sir, don't you think the box looks familiar to the one we received some months back?" Max asked following behind as I entered the library. I took my sit on my chair placing the box containing the bundle of hair in front of me as I stared at him wondering which box he was referring to and then it hit me that the box in front of me was similar to a certain mysterious package I had received some months back."What was in that box again?" I asked leaning into the chair. "A wristwatch," he replied. I watched as Max skillfully walked to the shelf and climbed up
AIDEN"It all makes sense now, the hair, the purse, the wristwatch," I said looking at the item on my table. "I am going to kill that bastard.""At some point, I was certain the bastard was dead," Axel said, his voice growing louder.I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, memories flooding back to me. "I should have killed him a long time ago," I said, my voice shaking with anger.Orion Ciscar.The leader of the rival gang that had killed my mother My mind wandered back to the past, to a time when I was young and naive. It was a time before my mother was killed before my world was turned upside down.I had grown up in a tough neighborhood filled with rival gangs. The leader of the gang that opposed ours was Matteo Ciscar. He was a fierce and ruthless man, feared by everyone in the neighborhood. He had a reputation for being cunning and merciless, and my father's gang was no match for him.One day, my mother was caught in the crossfire between the two gangs. She was an innocent byst
SELENAIt felt like a dream when Orion finally dashed out when he was about to do something sinister after cutting my hair, placing it in a box, and handing it over to his men.I was grateful his men had called him outside but the sound of gunshots started to echo loudly through the wall as my heart started pounding in my chest at what was going on out there and how I was going to be able to get out of here alive. I felt weak and powerless strapped to the chair, I had cried so much within the short period of time, that I was starting to feel a migraine on my forehead, I struggled on the chair trying to break free but with each struggle, it felt like the ropes were getting tighter than lose.Suddenly the door fled open startling me, and there he was.Aiden.My fake husband. He scanned the room frantic as his eyes fell on mine, he stood still not taking a step, his eyes filled with anger and shock.I was glad to see his face for the first time in my life, I was glad that he had come t
SELENAI tried to get out of bed but my mother held me in place, "I am sure, the maids must have...." "Someone is screaming mum, something must have happened," I interrupted her getting out of bed. His mother and sister had never come to visit him since I have been staying here or maybe they had and I wasn't aware and Brianna was also receiving treatment. Anything could have happened and I just couldn't sit here quietly and wait for him. I dashed out of my room as my mother followed behind hot on my trail. I was close to the stairs when she grabbed me by the arm stopping me on my track, her eyes looking downstairs to the living room where I could see Aiden, his mum, and sister discussing. There were shards of glass on the floor around them but none of the maids had come out yet to sweep it off, they seemed to be lurking in the shadows eavesdropping on their conversation or waiting for Aiden to call them to do it. "We accepted that you didn't want to marry Natalia because of whate
AIDENI couldn't believe that my mother had slapped Selena's mother, I knew she was always vicious but I didn't expect her to do that. I should have been upset that Selena had slapped her but I wasn't, a part of me would have done the same but raising my hand on a woman was a big no for me. Instead, I held on to my mother's hand raised in the air as she tried to slap Selena for laying her hands on her. She screamed at me as I held her hand, her eyes widening in shock at my action. I pulled her by the arm dragging her towards the door, she barely came to my house to visit and after some long she came to cause trouble for me. Astrid held on to my hand trying to stop me but I pulled her along as well."Please don't do this brother," Astrid pleaded. I was sure she didn't want to be here but my mother had dragged her along."I don't want to ever see the both of you in my house," I warned as I shoved them out, my mother staggering back as Astrid grabbed onto her. I signaled the two body
AIDENThey walked up to my father and two other men, pulling them by the arm to stand up as my father threw me a dagger stare. "Mr. Frazier, you are arrested for money laundering and Wire Fraud," the police announced. The two other me were surprised as they struggled to stop the police from cuffing them, "What is going on?" One of them yelled."You are arrested for being an accomplice to the charges levied against Mr Frazier," the police officer said as they cuffed him and dragged him outside alongside the second man who didn't bother to struggle with them. "What have you done?" My father asked already realizing the situation, his voice loud and filled with rage. Everyone in the room suddenly became shocked at what was about to unfold, right in front of their eyes, it was the first time police were barging into our company like this and now they were going to arrest my father but no one dared to say a word. "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be us
SELENAIt had been three days since the incident with Aiden's mother, that I last saw Aiden. I couldn't tell if he was mad at me for hitting his mother and making plans to dispose of me and get a new wife to satisfy his father's wish, but none of that happened.Instead, my phone, laptop, and other devices were returned to me the next day, my mother and I were also informed by one of his bodyguards that my mother could stay in one of the rooms for the time being and I was also allowed to go out of the mansion and resume schooling but with the bodyguards following me. Confusion was an understatement when they informed me of what Aiden had told them, I couldn't believe that he was giving me the freedom to do as I please not only in his house but outside. My mother was happy by the news and she enquired if we could go home instead to stay but they refused saying our safety was very important to them, and in them they meant Aiden.My safety was important to Aiden.By the second day, I wa
