SELENA"Take us home Max," Aiden ordered as Max nodded starting the engines. We spent the next hour in utter silence and by the time we got home it was already night time. Aiden excused himself but I was sure he went to find out about Natalia since she was still in his library. I wanted to ask him what had happened in there and the gunshot but I could see he was upset, did he watch the footage of Vincent and me together in the living room discussing? Was that what had upset him I thought as I opened the room of my mother slightly to see if she was asleep or she was still awake. Brianna's pregnancy was still on my mind and I didn't know if my mother was aware of it, but I was sure she wasn't because if she was she would have made mention of it. No matter how angry my mother would have been over Brianna getting pregnant she would have never abandoned her daughter. I looked in, "Mum," I muttered but got no response as I could see her sleeping already, I smiled at the sight of her sle

SELENA"Should I have breakfast ready Ma?" Sofia asked when we were close to the library where she had told me Aiden was, I had already forgotten about her presence as I walked down the hallway because my mind was filled with reasons why my father would have come all the way here and why Aiden chased him out."Yes, the dining will be fine," I said as she bowed and left me. She knew it wouldn't be appropriate to follow me into the library, I remembered when I newly arrived at this mansion. I wasn't fond of her constant presence around me, it was like one turn of my neck and Sofia was there but now I barely noticed her presence, and most times it felt like she wasn't there. I stood in front of the library door holding the knob as I heard voices inside, I didn't want to eave drop but the conversation they were having put me to a halt in front of the door. It was Axel, Aiden, and a female voice I suspected to be Astrid and they seemed to be arguing about something. "Your father is in j

SELENA I couldn't believe what Aiden had just told me. My mind was racing, trying to process the information. "What do you mean your father isn't your biological father?" I asked, my voice shaking a little.Aiden took a deep breath before explaining. "My mom had an affair with someone else. She got pregnant and didn't tell my dad. He raised me as his own, but he's not my biological father. They are both unaware that I now know this."I felt a knot form in my stomach as I tried to imagine what that must have been like for him. "That's a big secret to keep," I said softly, but that didn't justify him having his father locked up in jail, there had to be something that prompted him to do sure, if Mr. Frazier wasn't his biological father but he had raised him to be his son then the man wasn't to be blamed.The person who should be suffering should be his mother for lying to him and Mr. Frazier.Aiden nodded, looking down at his hands. "Yeah, it's been hard. I had always suspected somethin

SELENA"And your family?""You are also my family now Selena, I thought you should know this already," he said staring at me with a puzzled look.Family? His family?This union wasn't real, if there was anything I wanted right now it was to terminate this contract and start all over again. This wasn't the way I had visioned my marriage to be, I wanted to fall in love, do things lovers do, get married, have kids, and live a peaceful life but here I was. "I didn't want to bring it up just yet but we do need to discuss getting a divorce," I said since we were having a proper conversation."Divorce?" He said his grip on my hand tightening, I could see the look of disbelief on his face from my words, it was bound to happen, despite his confession of love for me it still didn't take away the fact that none of this was real. "This isn't what I want, to be tied down like this without a life of my own," I said expressing myself to him for the first time, he had just been vulnerable to me and

AIDEN"Is this a joke?" She asked looking at the file and then back at me. It was the same way I had questioned the will when the lawyer read it to my eyes, the first will didn't require marriage I was entitled to a certain amount and Astrid as well was entitled but it didn't take long when my father change the will to us getting married. A month later he changed it to one year of marriage and then a month after it was changed to two years, at some point my mother got upset and asked if he didn't want us to acquire his wealth as the rules and regulations were getting out of hand but I knew my father had a plan. He had been consumed by greed and at some point he wasn't ready to retire and hand over his wealth to any of his children. Locking him up in jail made him not get the chance to change the will but if I was to remain heir and owner of all his business asset I had to stay married for the next two years to Selena. "I am willing to make those two years worth it Selena, you don

AIDEN"This is a lot," she said rising to her feet and dropping the file down. She look lost and confused at what I had just asked her, as she ran her hands through her hair. "It is but if you go through the contract we can make adjustments if you want," I said staring at her. I was scared she would say no and I would be forced to let her go when I didn't want to. I needed her here with me, I needed time to make her see that we could be real. That this sham of a marriage could be real. Natalia had pushed me into this marriage, in the beginning, I didn't want it, I was ready to get rid of her once I was done with her but now I couldn't imagine a moment away from her. Her scent, her laughter, her smile, the feel of her lips, her body on mine, I could only hope she would say yes as I stared at her. "You already drafted the contract?""Yes," I nodded my head, I had thought about it and decided to draft a contract, I knew Selena's trust for me wasn't yet valid, the only way she would

AIDEN"Her fingerprints were found on the murder weapon, so if we are to take up the case she is going to turn up as a prime suspect," Axel explained as I thought deeply about his word.Selena wasn't at the crime scene, so it was obvious her fingerprints had been gotten somehow and placed on the murder weapon to implicate her in the case because the bastard old fool knew we would come for him once we started investigating and connected the missing lines.I had to commend him for playing his game well, with this newfound information there was no way we could take up the case because the last thing I wanted was for Selena to get arrested and spend a few hours in an interrogation room. I didn't want her to have to go through that trauma. The best I could do right now was to think out of the box, to think of a way I could deal with that old fool and get the justice that Brianna and her unborn child deserved."He seemed to have outsmarted us," I admitted to Axel as he nodded his head in a

THIRD PERSON'S POV• FRAZIER'S MANSION •Natalia waited patiently in the living room as she looked around the house, she remembered how Aiden had promised to bring her to see his family and introduce her as his woman, she knew that what he meant was marriage, if she had known better, she shouldn't have chickened out but have accepted it.She had ruined their relationship with her own hands just because of her modeling career and now she couldn't even keep the modeling career going, the competition was getting high each day, and without the support of someone influential, her name was slowly starting to fade in the industry."I am so sorry for keeping you waiting, I was discussing over the phone with a client," Astrid apologized as she rushed down the stairs to meet Natalia. When a maid had come to inform her that Natalia was here to see her, she was shocked but told them to let her in."It's fine," Natalia smiled as Astrid closed the distance between them giving her a peck on both che

SELENA"What is she doing here?" Mrs Frazier asked as she rose to her feet glaring at me angrily while Aiden held on to my hand. His show of affection didn't go unnoticed by Natalia who I didn't expect to be here. Our eyes met briefly but I looked away not minding her, I could only wonder what she was doing here. Earlier in the day, Aiden had informed me that he planned on visiting his mum and I thought it best to follow him since his mother was ill but now as I stood before her I wasn't sure I had made the right decision by coming here. She didn't like me one bit and she wasn't planning on hiding how much she hated me. "I can see you have recovered well," Aiden replied. "I am sorry Ma, I....We came to see after we heard that you were sick," I managed to speak to her, I still remembered how she had slapped my mother and insulted me but I tried to overlook that moment for Aiden's sake. "Does it look like I care?" Mrs Frazier asked. "Is this what it has come to Aiden? You don't eve

SELENAAs we climbed into the back seat of the car, the cool leather embracing our weary bodies, I couldn't help but notice the distant look in Aiden's eyes. I could tell he was upset by what had transpired inside, I was also in shock at how he had spoken to his mother, he had every right to be mad at her for everything that she had done but if I was a mother and my son called me a whore, I wasn't sure I could take it.Concern washed over me as I stared at him, it seemed apart from their little argument something else was bothering him and I felt compelled to ask him if everything was alright."Hey," I began softly, my voice laced with genuine worry, "are you okay?"Aiden turned towards me, his expression a mix of uncertainty. With a small, forced smile, he nodded and replied, "Yeah, I'm fine. Max take us home."Max nodded his head starting the engine and turning into the main street. I kept staring at him, there was something about the way he averted his gaze, fidgeting slightly with
