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
AIDENAs Selena uttered the dreaded words, my heart sank to the pit of my stomach and I didn't know why. "I want a divorce," she repeated more firmly, looking at me with a resolute expression on her face as she removed her hand from mine placing it to her side. I adjusted on the bed sitting up properly as I could feel my stitch hurting me like it was ripping apart.I knew she had been unhappy in our sham of a marriage for a while, I knew she was unhappy about everything that had to do with me and my family, I knew that since she had been with me things had not exactly been rosy for her.It wasn't also rosy for me having to deal with breaking up with Natalia and hatching a plan to take over my father's company but she didn't deserve to suffer for my past mistakes and future endeavors. I knew she wanted us to go our separate ways as soon as possible, I also didn't want this marriage at first but hearing her say it out loud still came as a shock to me.I had been so busy trying to take
SELENA"What do you mean my sister has been kidnapped from the hospital?" I yelled at Axel, staring at him and then back at Aiden to see if it was a joke they were trying to play on me. Since Brianna had been admitted to the hospital, I had not seen her because each time I wanted to, I was told it wasn't yet the right time. Even my mother didn't want me to see her just yet, I wasn't happy about it but I kept my mind at ease because I knew it was Aiden's doctor attending to her and that she would be better soon."While you were being ambushed, they raided the hospital," Axel explained. "The ambush was just a diversion."I felt as though the world around me was spinning out of control at Axel's words. My mind was racing, and my heart was beating so loud and fast that I could hear it in my ears. I felt hot tears wailing in my eyes as they streamed down my face without control as I tried to process what was happening."No, no, no," I gasped, shaking my head back and forth. "This can't b
