SELENAI was shocked by the little drama between Aiden and his supposed girlfriend, it made me have questions to ask him regarding this whole wedding. Why did he get married to me after how I had humiliated him? And the wedding was quite secretive, no one knew about it. I ended up going back into my room after he left and not touching my breakfast even though Sofia begged me to at least drink the tea.I ended up drifting in and out of sleep but the sound of footsteps woke me up. It was then that I heard the faint voice of Sofia by the door."Ma, dinner is ready," she said stepping in and bowing her head to me. I sat up in bed, realizing that Aiden must have come back. I quickly glanced at the clock on my bedside table and realized that I had slept in until late evening, I couldn't believe I had slept that long.Hurriedly, I got out of bed and quickly got dressed, this was my opportunity to speak to Aiden about seeing my family and this wedding. As I made my way down the stairs, my
SELENA"You won't dare do that, why are you doing this to me?" I barked tears gathering in my eyes as my heart started to pound yet again in my chest."I will do as I please with you, you are mine now," he said, flinging my hand away. "Until you learn to behave yourself.""I am behaving myself, I am doing everything you want me to do but you are the one who is not keeping to your word," I yelled at him banging the table aggressively."You call that, behaving?"I stared down at the food on the plate in front of me, trying not to show the disgust I felt, one more word from his mouth and I was sure I would slap him yet again. I had been abducted and held hostage for days now, wasn't that enough for him to show empathy toward me? "Eat," he said, realizing I was not eating anymore, his voice trying to sound soothing but I knew better. He was trying to break me and I wasn't going to let him. I looked up at him, my eyes burning with anger. "I will not eat until you let me see my family. Yo
AIDENI sat at the dining table, listening to my father bicker about the company and the success to be accomplished in the future. I would have rather been in my house listening to Selena's harsh words than be in this dining room right now but I got a call from my mother early this morning that my father wanted to speak to all of us regarding something urgent, I didn't quite understand the urgency as we were all just sitting in the dining eating."Did you make this mother?" Astrid asked, taking another bite of the stake. "Yes," my mother smiled, pleased that Astrid had yet again noticed the difference when it came to her cooking. "You always are able to tell the difference.""This is really good," Astrid said with a smile as my mum extended her hand touching Astrid's face. "Thank you, honey," my mother smiled back at her."It isn't news that both of you have to get married soon," my father finally spoke, stating the actual reason this meeting was called in the first place. It trul
SELENA"I think it will be nice if you try the new soup the cook made recently I found it...""If we are not going to discuss about my mother or sister then I am not interested in the conversation," I hushed Sofia as I sat on a chair facing the mirror while she busied herself with combing my hair.It had been two days since my diner with Aiden, I wasn't allowed to leave my room yet except I wanted to go to the dining to eat and I was not doing any eating lately so I was forced to be locked up in here for two days straight.I had thought Aiden would come to my room to see me but he didn't, instead I was visited by Sofia who was worried I would fall sick anytime soon if I didn't eat anything. Today she informed me that Aiden had gone to see his family and had called that I should be dressed up incase his family were to follow him back.I was angry to hear that I was going to have to endure yet another of his wishes because I didn't have a say in the matter, I wished Sofia could make me
SELENA"You are hurting me," I yelled at him, beads of sweat forming on my form head as anxiety kicked in. I couldn't help but feel my heart racing in my chest. This man had taken me against my will, forced me into a fake marriage, and now he wanted to consummate it? It made no sense to me.I looked into his eyes, searching for some sort of answer to the questions swirling in my mind. But all I saw was a cold and emotionless gaze staring back at me.My panic rose as he gripped my arms tightly."Why are you doing this?" I asked, my voice shaking with fear.He simply smirked at me, a twisted expression that made my stomach churn. "Because it's part of the deal and I always get what I want."My mind raced with thoughts of escape, but I knew it was futile. He had me trapped, and I was at his mercy.I didn't understand why he had done this. Why he had forced me into a situation I never asked for. And I knew that no matter what, I would never be the same again."I will never sleep with a ma
SELENAI had never felt so scared for my life but instead of lashing out in anger, Aiden simply smiled at me. I couldn't believe it. Didn't he just get angry? Was this some kind of sick game he was playing?I braced myself for the worst, assuming that he would retaliate for my audacity. But he just stood there, still clutching my arm in place. His smile, if possible, had widened.For a moment, I was completely bewildered. Why wasn't he trying to hurt me? Why was he just laying there?"They were right about your innocence," he said, still smiling. Who were they? I questioned in my head as I laid there, bound and terrified, I couldn't help but notice the way he smiled for the first time. He had been so menacing before, always scowling and serious, but now as a slight grin appeared on his face, I couldn't help but feel stunned.His lips curved upwards, revealing straight, white teeth that glinted in the dim light of the room. His eyes crinkled at the corners, and for a moment, all I cou
SELENAI couldn't believe my eyes as I stepped into the library. My sister was here, standing in front of me. I hadn't seen her in what felt like an eternity, and tears filled my eyes at the sight of her. I stood in awe, my heart racing as my mind flooded with so many emotions.I threw a glance at Aiden, the man who had held me captive against my wish was finally allowing me to see my sister. I didn't know his motives, but I didn't care at that moment. My sister was safe and sound, and that was all that mattered.I looked at my sister, taking in every detail of her appearance the way she stood playing with her finger on the side nervously, the glint in her eyes that betrayed her excitement. I rushed over to her, engulfing her in a tight hug. She hugged me back, just as tightly, and we both broke down in tears of joy. "Two minutes, nothing more," Aiden said before leaving us alone and closing the door behind him.Despite being held captive, seeing my sister suddenly brightened my moo
AIDENI was glad after Selena had agreed to my offer, I knew I had to set things in motion for the event. I needed to gather more people on my side for when the time would come when I would fully take over.I decided to visit my Mafia's den, it had been a long time since I went there, so long that I couldn't remember. Even when I informed Max of our location for the day, his face had contoured but he obeyed my orders.The drive was long but we arrived at our location before noon, passing through a big hospital that was a cover-up for the den itself. I got out of the car once Max was able to find a good spot to park the car and told him to follow suit even though I could see the reluctance in his eyes.I walked confidently through the dimly lit hallways of the den, my footsteps echoing off the walls as Max walked behind me. It had been a year since I had last set foot in this place, and my men were surprised to see me.As I entered the main room, my men bowed their heads, greeting me r
