Documents.

Tom’s POV.I gaze around the room at the mess I had just made.“Where is it? Where are the results? I could have sworn I left it in this drawer."I threw the beddings off the bed for the document.Anger seeped through my veins. "Where are those things when you need them?"I stopped for a second, thinking. Where had I seen it last?Out of instinct, I stooped to my knees and looked underneath the bed. The folder lay just at the edge.“Found it!”Perfectly sealed. Hidden from sight. I raised it to my nose and sniffed in its scent.No one should ever have to set their eyes on it.I moved towards the safe, turned in the combination, and tossed it along with the other documents.Good.Watching Selene all these years after I had found out about Amira's paternity. How careful she was each time I stared at Amira for far too long.Her family thought they had me fooled. She was willing to do anything for me. The guilt clawed at her chest, and the fact she wasn't able to give me an heir to attain

Climbing the ladder.

Selene’s POV.Rowland didn't leave.He slept on the chair next to Amira’s bed while I slept on the miniature couch.I had barely slept that night.Once the dawn broke. I pushed myself off the chair and quietly stepped into the hallway.I didn't want to wake Amira or Rowland.I passed noisy rooms and wards.My stomach churned at the thought of the number of people here who were battling life-threatening diseases.I never thought I would ever find myself here. At least not like this.I walked toward the exit and stepped outside.I needed to clear my head.I wrapped my arms around myself as I walked slowly along the pavement outside the hospital.The sky was pale, and the morning air swept over me. I shivered lightly.But my mind was somewhere else.Back in that room.Back in his arms.My lips tingled faintly; they could still remember the warmth of his lips on mine.Rowland.I closed my eyes briefly.For a moment last night, I had forgotten everything.All I could feel was him. The way

Rest Selene.

Selene’s POV.There was a lightness in my chest when I finally arrived at the hospital.My heart warmed at the sight of Mother helping the nurse with Amira.Mother had always been there, in her own quiet way. It felt good to know that no matter what, I had people who were willing to stick by me. No matter what.I walked over to help out with adjusting the sheets. My fingers smoothened the edges carefully.“Mum, where is Dad?"“Oh, he went to get some groceries. He should be back soon.”The room went quiet for a second.Then she leaned a little closer.“You know, Selene… Rowland is a real gentleman. He’s… really changed after all these years. And he's handsome too.”Heat crawled up my neck and cheeks, and I had to bite the inside of my lip to keep from smiling. Could she tell? Could she see what had happened last night?“I… Mum," I whispered, a little flustered. “Come on."She chuckled softly.“And… I almost feel guilty,” she continued, lowering her voice even more, “he just can’t seem

Unstable.

Chapter 54.Selene’s POV. I sat up instantly. My eyes moved to my laptop in the desk drawer.I stared at it.A part of my head throbbed from the lawyer's words.Unstable.If people believed I was unstable, then every decision I made about Amira could suddenly be questioned.My fingers curled into a fist. I swung my legs off the bed and stood.Tom wanted to play dirty, right?Fine.I pulled the chair back and sat down, flipping open the laptop.My fingers hovered over the keyboard for a second before I typed in the password.Work documents. Folders.And then a folder tucked at the corner of the screen.A smile spread across my lips.All the pictures Lisa had sent of the both of them and screenshots of random messages.Things I had carefully stored here.I exhaled slowly.But the pictures weren’t the real reason my pulse had started to quicken.I searched deeper into the system and clicked on another folder.It was password protected.I typed in the code, and it flicked open.My pulse

In the dark.

Rowland’s POV.It didn’t look like it was going to rain today. The weather had been somewhat brighter.I ended up soaked by the time I got home.The house was quiet when I walked in.I loosened my tie and headed up the stairs.A hot shower washed over my body as I let the day's tension ease off my shoulders.I was told I might have some bouts of muscle pain due to the injections I was given for the transplant.My mind couldn’t rest.Twenty minutes later, dressed in a pair of dark sweatpants and a clean shirt, I walked into my study.I tapped on the notification at the top.My secretary was fast. Just how I liked it.I opened the message.Several documents were attached.More information about the shell company, the one under Selene’s name.I scanned the report quickly.There were far more cases tied to the company than I had initially expected.Fraud allegations.Tax investigations.Contract disputes.I rested my chin on my palm.How do they keep getting away with all these? Everythi

Oh, Rowland!

Selene’s POV. My back landed on the table with a thud. I hadn't realized I had been starving after all these years till Rowland kissed me. He made my body yearn in ways that felt forbidden. I gripped his shirt tightly, arching just enough for him to nibble on my neck. I shrugged my robe off my shoulders easily. His lips tugged at the skin of my neck, and then he bit softly. I gasped. He breathed heavily, whispering against my skin, "Oh, Selene, anytime you make that sound, you undo me in ways I can't explain.” My lips curved. I still had it in me? After Amira? I wanted to do something crazy, something I hadn't done in a long time. My hands slipped under his shirt; he paused so I could pull it over his head. He was sweating despite the rain. His taut muscles glistened under the light just like I had imagined it. I ran my fingers over his chest. "Beautiful." He grinned. He leaned forward before I could say more; his lips landed on mine again. His tongue ro

Morning after.

Selene’s POV. A bright light spilled in through the slit.opening the inner curtain. I turned slowly, stretching a little.I felt a lot lighter and… Then I remembered. Rowland lay next to me. A heavy arm draped over my waist. A thick duvet covered the both of us. He stirred a little, but his eyes didn't open.He looked peaceful. His dark curly hair fell all over the place.A small smile spread across my lips despite me.Then my mind drifted to the previous night. How we had gone again so many times, and each time felt like a different experience. It was like a version of myself I had never seen before. Heat crept off my face. I ran my palm over my face.“No no no," I whispered. “I have to leave here before he wakes up. He can't see me like this."I carefully lifted his arm and sat up. Searching for my clothes. We must have tossed them around during…I blushed. I shouldn't be thinking about this. I grabbed my dress quickly, my fingers clumsy as I pulled it on.“Selene?” Rowland'

Caught.

Selene’s POV “Hello, Mrs. Selene, I believe we have met.” Rowland looked at the investigator, then at me. “You two have met?” My lips parted to speak. “Oh, just in passing," she cut in. Rowland's eyes narrowed. “Mr. Brookes. Could you give Mrs. Selene here and me a moment for a private discussion?” She muttered. Her eyes never leave mine. He hesitated before walking away. “I will be with the doctor," he said. It dawned on me then, that he might actually think of me as an accomplice. That was what all these were meant to look like. Immediately he disappeared around the corner, she turned to face me. “Walk with me.” It was an order. I swallowed. I straightened my spine and followed behind her. This was the time to show Tom I was more than ready to fight back. We walked side by side; the heels of her boots clicked against the hard tiles. Walking past doctors, nurses, and a pregnant woman. Then out the door and into the parking lot. We stopped beside what I assumed was he

Tom’s POV.A call had come in early this morning from my lawyer.He wanted to meet up; it was urgent.I frantically switched between lanes.Not the way I had imagined my morning to be. But with Lisa in the way, playing wife, I would rather get away and be in the office.By the time I reached the office, the sun was fully out. Making the windows of the high-rise building glisten.I smiled at the establishment. My father was a hard-working man. Though we never fully agreed.The only thing holding me back from the yacht and property on the island was that will. An heir from my wife.I scoffed.How was I going to get that now?I took the elevator to my office and stopped by my secretary.Her face was buried in paperwork. Her legs crossed and her lips shining a bright red.She was hot. I had always known that's why I picked her.But I couldn't risk making a move yet. That would breed disrespect.I cleared my throat.Her head shot up instantly. “Oh, Mr. Harold."She stood smoothing her blou
