SELENA’S POV:Then he kissed my forehead letting out a breath, and exhaled happily. He was alright. He was alright.His hard gaze shifted to Joey, narrowing. Joey, clueless, or pretending to be, stepped forward, offering a hand."Hey, Henry," he said smoothly. "Good to see you, man. We—"Henry cut him off with a look that could freeze boiling water. He didn’t take the offered hand. Didn’t say a word. Just shifted his body slightly to block me from Joey’s view, his hand finding the small of my back protectively.Joey’s smile faltered.I could feel the tension, the heavy electric charge between them. I needed to diffuse it fast."Joey," I said tightly, stepping sideways so Henry’s hand slid away. "Go. Please. Thank you for your help but... it's enough now."For a heartbeat, Joey didn’t move. He just stood there, staring at me like he expected something else, something more. My stomach twisted at the look on his face, a look that was too raw, too familiar for comfort.Finally, he nodded

SELENA’S POV: A FEW WEEKS LATER: “Are you okay? You have everything you need?” Henry asked as I grabbed my gold clutch bag and I nodded slowly in response. After almost two weeks since the threat and David’s arrest, I can proudly say that I heard the question, ‘Are you okay?’ and ‘Are you sure you’re alright?’, more than a thousand times just from Henry. Friends and family called to check in everyday, I was surprised at their consistency as it seemed like they had a timetable or sort. They called at seven in the morning and in the evening, Julian had no idea what to say on his turn to call so he made jokes and weird noises, I just hung up. Cherry had even suggested therapy but I sent a memo to everyone earlier today, stating I was well and didn’t need anything and most especially no more calls. I proceeded to ask Henry while he made me lunch on a beautiful Sunday, if we could go out tonight and in a heartbeat he agreed. “I will plan everything, all you need to do is look per

3RD POV:A FEW DAYS LATER:Sandra sat in the waiting room, waiting anxiously for David, who at his bail hearing was denied bail, he was livid as he was recognized not only as a threat to the Scott’s but to the entire society. Sandra’s hair was packed up in a messy bun, and she had a mid-thigh dress as well as a fur jacket to match as winter was approaching. She was trying her best to look composed even in this times where it felt like all was lost. She blinked repeatedly, watching as David was brought into the visiting area, with cuffs on his hand and he was just changed into his prison clothes, looking tired and still as mad as ever.The officer removed the handcuffs just as he sat before Sandra, then he walked off excusing them but before leaving he announced that they only had ten minutes to converse.“I would ask, ‘how are you?’ but I can already tell you look like crap and smell like one too.” Sandra said, scrunching up her nose and David just stared at her unmoved.“How’s my s

SELENA'S POV:The worst part? I wasn’t even sure if it was just a mistake. Joey had been extra lately, lingering too long in conversations, always finding a way to be near me, sending texts at odd hours about “project ideas” that never actually needed my input. And now this? Hugging me thinking it was me?It had crossed a line. A very real, very clear line.I brushed it off and tried to shake it from my mind. This day was too important to let a stupid moment ruin it. I reached the stage, smiled at the mayor, nodded at our investors, and took my place in front of the giant ribbon. My assistant handed me the scissors, and the crowd fell quiet.This was it.I glanced at the crowd, trying to spot familiar faces. Zoey was somewhere near the front, waving at me excitedly. I nearly jumped in excitement when I saw Gabby and Julian, as well as Carmeron, Cherry and Liv all together smiling beautifully. There were cameras everywhere, and I knew Henry would be watching the livestream later, proba

3RD POV:A WEEK LATER:Today was the day David had been preparing for, well not today in particular, but today marked the beginning of his trial and the day he was going to escape. He had tried to escape a night before as he had no plans of making it to court but he was unable to as the garbage truck was unable to move yesterday and had shifted it today.He was dressed in a suit sent by Sandra and she had attached a letter sending it through the lawyer she had employed and the letter read that she would be unable to attend today’s hearing nor bring their son to witness the sight. As well as a simple good luck, and David could only squeeze the paper and toss it in the bin.“What in the world is wrong with her? We could have literally just spoken on the phone.” He kissed his teeth in irritation, making his attorney chuckle.To his surprise, no one he knew was at his trial, and he expected to see Selena there, giving him a smug look he had never seen or Henry staring him down but no one
