Trapped by My Ex's Love Curse

"Dave, I love you..." Shienna babbled and slowly opened her eyes, turning her head briefly to find a man still sleeping beside her. Her eyes traveled down from the man's head to his bottom; he was not wearing any clothes and was only covered by a waist-length blanket. Shienna widened her eyes and checked herself. "Oh my! Why didn't I wear—" Shienna's sentence was cut short when she heard the man beside her moan. "Selena, I love—" The man turned, and his face was now facing Shienna, whose eyeballs were almost stroking. "Bryan?!" she screeched, waking the man who was just as shocked as she was. "Shienna? What are you doing here?!" "Shouldn't I be asking you? What are you—no way!" Shienna covered her mouth with both hands. The two simultaneously looked at their respective bodies. Shienna pulled up the blanket to cover her bare chest and body while the man did the same. One blanket was a struggle between Shienna and the man she had probably spent a hot night with. "Take it off! It'

Shienna tapped her heels on the marble floor she was standing on. She had been waiting in the lobby for almost half an hour, but the man she was waiting for had yet to appear. She had purposely come to the office of the man she had spent the night with in Palmerston, Cook Island. The receptionist had told Shienna to wait, but she felt her efforts were in vain. Shienna took her cell phone and dialed the number on the business card the man had given her. "Damn it! Is he trying to avoid me?" she muttered, annoyed. She got up, stomping her feet through the men on security duty, standing in front of the escalator, making sure no one could access the metal box to get to the boardroom. "Excuse me, miss. Where are you going?" the guard asked as Shienna pressed the button for the elevator to the 21st floor, where the room of the man she was looking for was located. "I'm going upstairs to meet the owner of the company." "Do you have an appointment?" "I did a few minutes ago." "Then show m

Knock, knock, knock!"Shie, I'm sorry to disturb you. I just wanted to tell you something about tomorrow's schedule," Shienna's assistant said after knocking on the door late at night. Bryan, who knew the assistant as well as his wife's best friend, glanced at her and went back to his work on his laptop. "Say it, J." "Ever since you became Mrs. Sanders, the press has been polling to see who would be interested in hearing clarification from you." Jennifer paused her sentence to ascertain her best friend's reaction. "Can you do the press conference for tomorrow?" "Um... that matter..." "Ahem... let's not forget the agreement between us," Bryan interrupted, unable to hear the conversation as if he wasn't there. "Do you want me to tell people you mistakenly conceived the baby?" Shienna gave Bryan a sharp look, then returned her attention to Jennifer, awaiting a response. "Jennie, I'm sorry. There are conditions where I can't give them what they want. This marriage is a personal thing

Shienna looked at Ray as he stepped out of her penthouse with a sad look. Shienna was unwilling to let go of a bodyguard as reliable as Ray, who had made her feel safe wherever she was. However, one thing she emphasized to Ray was that he should keep her updated on his situation, and if he ever needed help, she would be able to help him. Plus, there is a promise that Shienna will use his services again when her business with Bryan ends. This time, it was Jennifer's turn to sit not far from Shienna's place, who seemed hesitant to start the conversation. "Shie, are you sure you'll agree with your husband's decision? Are you going to dismiss me? Is this the end of our friendship?" "Tsk! Of course not, idiot! I don't want to make trouble with that psycho guy. Didn't you hear what he said last night? Your presence here is just as a friend, not my assistant anymore. That means you can stay here for the rest of your life." Jennifer rolled her eyes as she heard Shienna's explanation. That

Shienna finally made it out of the crowd and arrived back at the penthouse. She was now holed up in her room, not opening the door—no matter who knocked from outside. She had no idea who to trust. Bryan didn't say anything when they got married, not even when she and he talked about the contract, the terms of which she forgot to double-check. However, their marriage was not based on love, so was it right for her to ask for clarity from her husband on this matter? Knock, knock, knock! "Shie, it's me. Elea said you've been reluctant to leave the room since earlier. What happened?" asked a voice that Shienna knew very well must be Bryan. However, she was reluctant to meet anyone for now. She was depressed. As long as she was a public figure, she had never once dealt with romance. Let alone being a suspect in the destruction of someone's relationship. She had always been betrayed and cheated on, and now she was making a man cheat on his fiancee. Could it be true what the woman at the c
