AngelI had arrived back in Russia, As I stepped into my grand mansion, a sense of familiarity washed over me, and for a brief moment, I allowed myself to revel in the opulence and luxury that surrounded me. But deep down, a gnawing unease lingered, fueled by the absence of Selena.I had lied to Heaven, telling her that Selena had important work to attend to in Paris. My heart twisted as I recalled her innocent, tear-stained face, her small voice filled with longing as she whispered, "I miss Mommy, Daddy." I had brushed her off, claiming that Selena would return soon, but the guilt tugged at my conscience.Just as I was about to drown in the depths of my self-deception, my phone rang, jolting me from my thoughts. Nikolai's name flashed on the screen, and a surge of anticipation coursed through me. I answered the call, my voice carefully measured."What is it, Nikolai?" I asked, trying to keep the tremor of anxiety at bay."Sir, I have news regarding Selena," Nikolai's voice sounded co

Selena A month has passed since the painful divorce from Angel, and the ache in my heart still lingers. The absence of Heaven, my precious daughter, weighs heavily on my mind. It was a decision I had to make, believing that she deserved a life free from the toxicity of our failed marriage. But the emptiness in my arms is a constant reminder of the sacrifice I had to endure.In the midst of my grief and longing, my father came forward with a plan to help me find a new purpose. He suggested that I finish my studies abroad in the United States, focusing on business, with the hope that I would eventually take over his company. It was a chance for me to explore a different path, to immerse myself in something other than the painful memories of my past.So, with a mix of trepidation and hope, I boarded a plane that would carry me across the ocean to a land of new opportunities. As the aircraft soared through the sky, I couldn't help but feel a flicker of excitement, a glimmer of anticipatio

SelenaI still can't believe I've spent a whole month here at this university. Time has flown by, and it feels like just yesterday I was nervously entering that classroom on my first day. But now, things have changed. I've made new friends, bonded with Channel and Ariel, and found a sense of belonging in this unfamiliar environment.Today is not a school day, which means we have some free time to relax and have fun. Channel, Ariel, and I decided to go to the movie theater to catch the latest release. It's a perfect opportunity to unwind and enjoy each other's company outside the academic setting.As we enter the theater, the air is filled with excitement and anticipation and the scent of popcorn. We purchase our tickets and make our way to the snack counter, indulging in some popcorn and soda. The three of us find seats together, chatting animatedly about the movie and how excited we are to watch it. Channel was more excited than we were. The lights dim, and the movie begins. It's a

Selena The next day arrived, and as the sunlight streamed through my window, I woke up feeling a mix of anticipation and nervousness. Channel, always the early riser during school days, hurriedly left for school, leaving me to get ready at my own pace.As I arrived at school, I met up with Ariel in our shared class. She greeted me with a worried expression on her face, and I could tell something was amiss. I leaned in closer, eager to hear what had transpired."Ariel, what's wrong? You look troubled," I asked, concern lacing my voice.Ariel sighed, her voice filled with frustration. "Selena, you won't believe what happened today. Our history teacher was in a foul mood and decided to give us a surprise test. He walked into the class and gave us only thirty minutes to prepare. It was chaos!"My heart skipped a beat at the thought of an unexpected test, but I took a deep breath, finding solace in my faith. "Don't worry, Ariel. Let's have faith and do our best. We've studied hard, and wi

However, the treacherous happenings of my past threatened to resurface, but I pushed them aside, determined to focus on the present and the future that lay ahead.Channel, wide-eyed and stunned, stood in awe as she took in the sight of my father's grand mansion. The opulence and grandeur of the estate seemed to overwhelm her. She couldn't contain her excitement, repeatedly exclaiming about the sheer size of the house and its luxurious details. I chuckled, finding joy in her animated reactions."You weren't kidding when you said your family was well-off, Selena," Channel said, her voice filled with disbelief. "This place is incredible!
