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
SELENA "What are you doing?" I gasped trying to free myself from his tight grip, my heart pounding in my chest from the startling feeling I had gotten from the force he had used to pull me towards him. His face contoured as I shoved him off keeping my distance from him with a terrified look. "I am sorry, I didn't mean to do that," he apologized, a frown falling on his face at the realization of what he had just done, even if this wasn't real, I was his cousin's wife, so he didn't have any right to just pull me like that in such an intimate way. "It's fine," I breathed out not wanting to turn the situation into something drastic. "Good day, Vin..." "Selena, I am truly sorry," Vincent apologized again interrupting me. "I just thought it was mutual, I thought my feelings were the same as yours," he continued his face filled with embarrassment. "What...what do you mean?" "I thought you had feeling for me," Vincent said as my eyes widened. "Is that a joke?" I questioned dumbfoun
SELENA "Yes, we will discuss that as well, everything will be alright," I smiled at her as a knock fell on my door that was slightly opened. It was Sofia. "Ma'am, please come, Master is back and he is bleeding out," Sofia spoke her voice shaking as she ran off. I jumped up from the couch alongside my mother as we rushed out of the room following Sofia, my heart pounding in my chest as we got to the living room. Max and another man had Aiden's arm around their neck as they dragged him on the couch laying him slowly. "Get the first aid kit before the doctor gets here," the man yelled at Sofia as she ran back upstairs to get it. I stood in shock horrified by the sight of Aiden, his face was smudged with blood stains, and the white shirt he also had on was stained with blood. "Ma'am please let us handle it, you can go back to your room," Max pleaded blocking my front from seeing Aiden's face properly. "What is going on?" I asked Max, my voice shaking. I thought Aiden was hel
AIDENI slowly opened my eyes, fighting through the grogginess. My head throbbed with pain and my body ached with a dull ache. I winced as I tried to move, feeling the stiffness in my limbs. My eyes flickered around the room, taking in my surroundings.As I took in my surroundings, I felt a sharp pain in my side. Lifting up the sheets and saw a bandage on my left side, as the realization struck me that I had been shot. The memory of the incident came flooding back, I had been able to get the Fraziers company fully in my name alongside everything that belonged to my father, I was on my way back from a meeting heading home finally after being away for three days, when my car was ambushed by some thugs which I was certain were sent by my father. We tried to maneuver them but in the end, it resulted in a crossfire between my men and theirs, it would seem that we were already getting the upper hand when I felt lightheaded and went into an unconscious state, the last person I had seen wa
