Chapter 1 - 365 days Bride

Selena's pov, I stood outside Mrs. Chloe's door, shifting my weight from one foot to the other in my impatience. Under normal circumstances, I would have just walked away when I saw how busy she was, but this was different. This was about Erica, and I knew that I couldn't just give up and leave. I was willing to wait as long as it took, because I knew that her life was worth it.Finally, after what felt like an eternity, she waved me in. I took a deep breath and walked through the door, trying to maintain a cool, calm demeanor. "Alright, Cousin. I'll find you a suitable lady for the role, and it'll be our little secret," she said with a smile. Then she hung up the phone and turned to face me. "You should be on duty at the cashier's desk, not standing outside my door, Selena," she said, her tone sharp and impatient. "It's only 10 am," she continued, glancing at her wristwatch as she lit her cigarette."I'm so sorry, Mrs. Chloe," I stammered. "This is different. It's... it's urgen

Chapter 2 - Charade

Fred's Pov, I walked into the living room to find a curious lady handling my trophies and awards that were arranged neatly on the shelf. It was obvious she was snooping around, trying to get a feel for my life."You shouldn't touch things without asking permission first," I snapped, my voice sharper than I had intended. The lady jumped, startled by my sudden outburst."I'm sorry," she said, her voice trembling. "I didn't mean to upset you.""My name is Selena Gardener," she said, reaching out to shake my hand."Chloe must not have mentioned that I don't like it when people pry into my life," I replied, a bit harsher than I intended."I'm sorry if I overstepped," she said, her voice soft and apologetic. "It wasn't my intention to make you angry.""I hope you wouldn't be overstepping your boundaries for the next twelve months?" I said rudely."I was just admiring your awards, and I didn't mean to upset you," she replied, unruffled by my attitude. "I don't think there's any need for all

Chapter 3 - Will you marry me?

Selena's Pov, The look on Fred's face when I emerged from the car was all the confirmation I needed that my makeup artist and stylist had outdone themselves."You look amazing," he said, his voice barely above a whisper."Thank you," I replied, giving him a knowing smile. He took my hand as we walked towards the banquet hall, and I couldn't help but feel a surge of confidence. I looked and felt like a million bucks.In all my life, I had never seen a more opulent mansion than the one that belonged to the Leonard family. It was like a palace on earth, resplendent with marble floors and crystal chandeliers. The dignitaries who had been invited added to the sense of grandeur, their presence adding a touch of class to the already luxurious surroundings.As Fred and I approached the table, a woman in her forties approached us, her smile wide and warm. "That's my aunt, George's mother," Fred whispered in my ear."Hello, my darling Fred," she said, pulling him into a tight embrace. There w

chapter 4_The EX

Selena's POV, A cold shiver ran down my spine, and I froze still, not believing who I had just seen. I stood with my mouth wide, stunned to my bones, unable to fathom what was going on."Are you alright? Did something happen?" Fred inquired as he appeared astonished by my reaction; he seemed rather excited. George had not seen me, so I attempted to flee but was apprehended by my soon-to-be husband, Fred. He appeared quite proud of me today and was eager to introduce me to everyone."No, not here. Not today!!! I muttered to myself as I saw George approaching."How can he possibly be here?" I whispered, attempting to cover my face as George approached Fred and me. I was completely overwhelmed, and there was nothing I could do to save the day. As he introduced me to George, Fred grasped my hand and, despite my resistance, drew me in his direction. I completely neglected to inquire about his family since I was too focused on making this meeting with his grandfather work.How could I have

The past

FREDAs the party went on my phone kept ringing.I had to meet up with the caller and it seemed she was not going to back down till I came. I muted it yet again as I could not possibly pick the call here." You should pick up, it seems the caller needs you now" Selene said with looks of concern written all over her." what concern of yours is that, you are here to work for me, so know your place. Never pry into my life again. I yelled at her with looks of disguist."What business of Selene was it if someone called me."I thought to myself as I tried to excuse myself from the party.My phone rang again and it was princessa, she was the caller that Selene had insisted I picked her call. I muted the call as I could not possibly pick her call here in the presence of my family.Everyone in the house thought I had broken up with Princessa, my grandfather had said she was not a good match for me because of her family and everyone had agreed with him on that. I loved her so much but could not p

SELENAFred dashed out of the room saying he had some place to go. I had to settle in before he came back and packed my things to the place where he has instructed me to keep them. This gave me sometime to familiar with the environment before he returned.The way Fred disrespected me because of money was annoying but what more could I have done. I needed the money and if this is the price I have to pay then it was fine, besides it will all be over soon.I picked my phone as it beeped, I hoped somehow it was George coming at me for some explanation but it was not. It was my nightmare, Fred messaging to tell me he was not returning that day." I would not be returning, Adhere to the instructions I gave you" I read Fred's message out loud and wondered if he would ever treat me with respect but consoled myself it was for the time being." Like I care, if you do not return" I yelled at my phone sighing at the sight of the message and checked through my phone if George messaged or somethin

SELENA'S POVI stirred on the bed, still feeling the exhaustion from the previous day's event, opening my eyes I realized it was morning already. I yawned as I struggled to get out of bed. My body ached, I assumed it was because I was stressed by the party of the previous day. my mind raced to Fred, it seemed he did not return last night and I wondered where he could have been. As I wondered in my thoughts, I heard steps walking into the room and raising my head. It was Fred.Fred walked into the room as I motioned to get up from the bed. He was trying to get ready. He had had his bath as it seemed he woke up earlier and was just about to get dressed. He returned at night when I was still asleep." Hi," I said but did not get a response. Fred headed for the bathroom as though he did not hear me. He had gone to pick something but I did not care." Oh you are back, I did not hear you come in, I said again as I yarned expressing how exhausted I was. My face was weary with exhaustion as m
