3RD POV:FEW WEEKS LATER:“David Sanders, who had threatened Monica Scott’s enterprises attempting to set them all on fire, had also attempted to escape while in police custody during his trial. However, during his escape he had jumped from the forth street bridge and ended up with severe medical conditions. He has been transferred back to the prison’s hospital where he shall recover, more updates will come as soon as we receive intel…..” The reporter announced as she stood by the side of the prison gates, still trying to receive more information but she had simply been hit with the metal sounds of the gate. This had just made it to the news despite the fact that the jail-break had occurred weeks ago, however everyone who David knew, was already aware about what had occurred and just like his first day in trial, no one came to see him, and that struck him the wrong way especially since the doctor had shared some reports after David had woken and cried out loud in the hospital, stati

SELENA’S POV:I took another step back, hand now brushing against my door handle. “That wasn’t a sign or anything, Joey. It was a total mistake that rubbed me off the wrong way. You wanted to hug your girlfriend and thought she was me. That’s not any sign, that’s purely confusion.”He let out a bitter laugh. “You’ve always been like this, you know. Always holding things in. Always so calm, so hard to figure out. So controlled. But I know there’s still a part of you that feels something. Even now.”“I don’t,” I replied quickly, trying to keep my voice steady. “And even if I ever did, which I didn’t and it's even insane, it doesn’t matter anymore. I’m married now. Happily married. You need to respect that.”As soon as the words left my mouth, I wished I could take them back. I didn’t want him thinking the only reason I was shutting him down was because of Henry. Henry was my husband, the one in my heart, my everything. Joey is my friend but now I am rethinking it.Joey looked down at th

3RD POV:FEW WEEKS LATER:“Again?” Nanny Solidat asked the maid who brought in another bouquet of roses for Selena for the fourth time just today.After the dinner with Ace’s family and there had been reconciliation between both families, Selena had been receiving flowers every day since then and it was most definitely not from Henry. Joey had shot a text and asked if she liked them and it was then she told Henry all about Joey’s approach at the parking lot. Henry employed more security, and they followed everyone everywhere. The other day while Selena was at work, she received yet another bouquet, every day was a different color and today they were blue mixed with red and pink. It seemed so odd to Selena but she received a surprise visitor that same day.“What are you doing here? We no longer have business together.” She pointed out as Joey strolled in, dressed in a black suit and holding a designer gift bag. “I know….I just bought this for you. As an apology for scaring you the ot

3RD POV:Solidat smiled admiringly as he took one of her fingers and Nanny Solidat laughed when Hailey frowned. “She has, hasn't she?”Joey tilted his head slightly. “She keeps growing into her mother. Her eyes, her noses…Just like her mother.”Solidat’s brows pinched together in confusion, “You know her mother? You’ve… seen Selena before?”He smiled darting his eyes from Hailey to his surroundings. “More than seen her.”Her body tensed, motherly instincts instantly kicking in. “Wait, how do you know Selena?”Joey gave a low laugh that made Solidat shiver in definitely not a good way. “You didn’t know? That’s funny. I was *very* close to her.”Solidat took a small step back, her arms tightening around Hailey. “But… you said you were a businessman from the East Coast. You never mentioned her.”“I didn’t think it mattered,” he said gently. “Besides, she’s moved on. And now… I’ve found you.” He smirked, looking into her hands.“What is this?” she asked, her voice sharpening. “Why are you

SELENA’S POV:“You heard me,” he said, calm and quite delighted. “Don’t worry, it won’t take long. I just need to tell you something important. Something I think you deserve to know. Bring yourself. Bring your guilt. That’s all.” His voice had a stank of sincerity, but I wasn’t buying it.The call ended.I lowered the phone slowly, trying to breathe, trying to think. My head felt light, my hands numb. He wanted me. He was planning something, I could feel it in my bones.I headed back out with the glass of water, and some guards as well as the head of security stood there.“I’m coming with you,” said the head of security firmly as I relayed the conversation and all that had been happening all day.“I don’t think that’s a good idea.” I shared with my sole concern on my daughter.“We’re not giving you up. We’ll protect you. We’ll follow the car in unmarked vehicles and intercept the moment Hailey is safe.” He assured me and I nodded.Nanny Solidat looked at me, pale and exhausted. “Pleas
