 CHAPTER 1

    Mrs grace walked out of the cemetry. An umbre was over her head which was held by her personal guard, to prevent the drizzling rain from touching she walked towards an expensive car with the driver waiting readily at the door for her. it was opened when she got close to the door. She slipped into the warm expensive interior of thefy car and the door was shut softly. She removed her rmended sses and ced it on herps. Her long jet ck hair was shiny and tied into a bun. A single strand not out of ce. The car glided smoothly into the dark streets leading to her mansion located in the suburbs of the city.


    Today was a sad day for her. The day her twin daughters died In a ne crash which took ce a year ago. Life could be cruel sometimes. Her husband Damian had left her months ago despite their previously ¡± crazy in love kind of life¡±. 45 years old mrs grace was sad and always dejected, she had very few friends, barely smiled. The richest and youngest woman in Miami, men greatly sought after her, she never had the time for that anyways. She sigh and rubbed the diamond ring on her finger. It wasn¡¯t just any ring. It was her special ring, never left her finger ever since her mom had given it to her on the day of her wedding with Damian. She caressed it sadly, wishing she could have her happy life once again.


    Suddenly¡­. her ring began to glint. A line of shiny silver light began to glint off from her ring, silver dusts falling off and fading away. She widen her eyes in shock. It only happened once in a lifetime. And it meant only one thing, she had found a pure breed, anotherdy, capable of bearing her enchanting powers.


    ¡°Stop here!¡± She told the driver and the car stopped immediately. The door was opened secondster by her personal guard who was in another car and trailing behind. she stepped out and the umbre was raised above her head again. She looked around the dark street. Her ring was pointing an arrow like silver light towards a direction. With the umbre over head, Mrs grace walked towards where the light was pointing to. The light was only visible to her, no one else could see it. Her ck heels made click-rk sounds as she walked towards the direction of the pointing light. It was leading her to arge refuse dump.


    ¡°Mrs grace?¡­¡± The guard called in concern, diforted by the foul smell emanating from the waste site. She ignored his protests and continued walking closer to it. she stopped as she saw a shocking sight in front of her.


    A beautifuldy, lying on the cold floor with her body battered up in bruises, clothes torn apart and bloodstains on her skirt. Her long hair was in disarray on her face, She looked as though she was dead. The rain had drenched her and her clothes stuck to her body. The silver light from the ring sparkled on the youngdy for a while before gradually fading. Mrs grace ced a palm over her mouth in pity. Her guard looked at the sight in shock. How did she know there was ady lying here?. They were faraway from the waste site. Well he knew Mrs grace well enough to know she ain¡¯t just any woman. He knew there had always been something special about her


    ¡°Check if she still breathes¡± Mrs grace says and collects the umbre from him. He reluctantly squats and ce two fingers on the girl¡¯s wet and bruised neck. He looked up at mrs grace.


    ¡°She¡¯s breathing¡­. very faintly¡± He says and she sigh in relief.


    ¡°Take her into the car¡± She tells him. The guard frowns but didn¡¯t protest. No one goes against her orders. He¡¯d just need to stay under the shower for hours to wash away the foul smell emanating from thedy. He carried her carefully in bridal style and they walked quickly back into the waiting car. She was ced at the backseat and mrs grace sat on the passenger seat. The driver frowned in disgust at the unconscious girl before he drove out smoothly into the night, while her guard returned to the second car and continued driving behind her car.Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.


    Mrs grace nced back continuously at thedy. Although she looked like a walking corpse, she was extremely beautiful. Who did this cruel thing to such a beautifuldy! She felt a strong attraction towards the girl. One she had never felt the death of her twin daughters. Maybe it was because today was the day her daughters died.


    The girl was almost dying¡­. and even the best hospital in the world won¡¯t save her life. And Mrs grace wanted her to live. watching another girl die the day her daughters died would shatter her. She would do so¡­. save the extremely beautifuldy, even if it¡¯s thest thing on earth she does. She leaned back into her seat as her mind drifted off to the happy memories she had with her daughters and husband.

 CHAPTER 2

    Mrs Grace steps out of the car as it stops in thergepound.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    ¡°Take the girl upstairs to my daughter¡¯s room¡± She told her personal guard as he held the door open for her. Thepound was veryrge and the huge mansion screamed money. She walked into therge living room designed to perfection, blue sparkly marble tiles and expensivefyrge chairs. The wallpapers with warm feminine colors. A maid bowed to her and collected her hand bag.


    ¡°Good evening Mrs grace¡± She smiled . Mrs grace managed a smile before walking up the huge staircase leading to her room. She went into therge bedroom. She sat on the bed with red duvet and pulled off her heels. The maid walked in and dropped the bag.


    ¡°Your hot bath is ready Mrs grace¡­ what would you like for dinner?¡± it was obvious she treated her workers well.


    ¡°Nothing¡­. had dinner at work¡­ meanwhile go to my daughter¡¯s room. There¡¯s a girl in there¡­. I want her thoroughly clean tell bill to stay by her and tell the other maids to help you in washing and making her clean¡­.. I¡¯d be there in a few minutes¡± The maid bowed


    ¡°As you please miss Grace¡± She said with a smile and left the room, closing the door softly behind her. She sighed and removed the hair band from her hair. Her hair fell to her waist, few tendrils framing her face. She was beautiful, extremely beautiful. Well that¡¯s because she¡¯s an enchantress. An enchantress is always too beautiful. She sigh and walk into her expensive ensuite to have her bath. she emerged minutester, Her white skin fair and clean. She wrapped a towel around her head, to dry off the wetness. She dressed up in a soft ankle length gown and walked out of her room. She walked down the stairs to daughters room. She had not been there in a while. There are a lot of rooms in the huge mansion but she wanted thedy to stay in her daughter¡¯s room. She entered and closed the door behind her. She looked around the room as she felt a pang of sadness wash over her.


    It still looked the same, with the pink and white wallpapers, pink sparkly tiles and huge closets. Her twin daughters had always loved being together. They did everything together and even till when they were done with college, they still slept on the same bed. She looked at the bed now. With its huge gold embroided drapes.


    The unconsciousdy was lying on it. She walked towards her and sat beside her.


    She looked better than before. Her dirty clothes had been discarded and reced with a knee length gown. Her jet ck hair was packed. She stared at the girl¡¯s face. It was still with purple bruises. There was a cut on her lips and a cut above her left eye. Her cheeks was swollen, like she had been beaten. Mrs Chloe felt tears sting her eyes at the harm they had done to the beautifuldy. She looked about twenty four years of age.


    Her ring started to glint again, this time it was giving out red arrow like light.


    The red light meant only one thing, danger¡­. is lurking. The light began to fade gradually before finally thinning out. Mrs grace sighed. She knew it was totally impossible for her to use her healing powers on her¡­ it was toote. She gently ced her ringed palm on the girl¡¯s forehead and closed her eyes. She squint her eyes tighter as she found herself in another ce. It was dank and dirty. it was a revtion, to know what had happened to thedy. She looked around her and she saw a girl lying on the floor. She walked towards the girl on the floor. She paused when she saw a group of men around her. The girl was whimpering. Some had sticks of cigarettes in their mouth, they reeked of alcohol and cum.


    She watched as one of them dragged the whimperingdy up and gave her a punch on her face. Thedy yelped in pain while the others cackled. They pushed her roughly to the ground as she continued yelping and pleading. One of them pulled off his trousers and the others held her hands. He had his way with her while the girl screamed in pain, begging and yelping. The othersughed as they continuously pped her till she fainted.


    Mrs grace opened her eyes and returned her gaze to the youngdy. She bad been raped mercilessly by street thugs. She had limited time to live, probably till next morning. she would have readily used her healing powers but it was toote to do so.


    Mrs grace stood up and walked out of the room. Her guard was at the door.


    ¡°Cancel all my night appointments bill¡± She said and walked back upstairs into her room. She sat on her huge bed as different thoughts went through her mind.


    She had promised her daughters she would never let another person die when she could save them. She sighed sadly. How she wished Damian was here with her, how she wished her twin daughters hadn¡¯t died so faraway. She could heal them but they had died so faraway from her that it was only their corpse they had brought back. A tear ran down her cheek and she wiped it off. She would save this rare breed,e what may, she would try. She stood up and walked towards a mahogany door leading into her study, it used to be Damian¡¯s, not until he left her to remarry a younger girl. She had the powers to kill him, but she hadn¡¯t. It wasn¡¯t her kind of person. She was always this kind woman that couldn¡¯t hurt a fly. she rarely used her powers, unless to heal. She sat down at a table. There was a heap of letters arranged neatly beside amp. She took out a fresh book and pen. She always wrote letters, to damian and to her dead daughters, letters which never left the study or got to the recipients. She tuck her long dark hair behind her ears and began to write¡­. only that this time, she wasn¡¯t writing to Damian or her daughters, but to the young unconsciousdy in her daughters room.

 CHAPTER 3

    Mrs grace dropped the pen and cleaned off her teary eyes. She stared at the full lengthy letter and got up. She walked out of the library and returned back to her room, plumping down the bed and drifting off to sleep tiredly.

    She woke up with a huge smile on her face. Today was gonna be a long one. One which she would finally find the happiness and peace she has always wished for. A maid walked into her room after knocking.


    ¡°Morning Mrs Grace¡± She greeted her with a smile


    ¡°Morning Reba¡­ have you checked up on the girl in my daughters room¡±


    ¡°Yes ma¡­ she¡¯s still unconscious, I doubt if she would be able to make it before taking her to the hospital, should we call a doctor?¡± She asked in concern.


    ¡°No Reba, There wouldn¡¯t be any need for that¡± She smiled widely confusing the maid the more. They knew Mrs grace as someone who is barely happy, seeing her happy today was a good sign. Maybe she had decided to let go off the pains she felt.


    ¡°Okay ma¡­ should they bring your food up here or at the dining?¡± Mrs grace sigh and got off the bed.


    ¡°Before I eat, I want you to assemble the other workers, I¡¯ve got an impprtant announcement to make¡±


    ¡°As you please ma¡± She smiled and left. Mrs grace sighed and got into the bathroom to have her bath, she emergedter, and dressed up. She walked out of the room and went down the stairs to the living room.


    Everyone had assembled. Thirty workers in all, they stood in their white and ck uniforms wondering why she had called them.


    ¡°Morning Mrs grace¡± They greeted cheerfully.


    ¡°Morning to you all¡­ i want y¡¯all to listen attentively to what I¡¯ve got to say¡± She looked around with a huge smile and they went quiet.


    ¡°I¡¯d be travelling today. And this might be a long one. Meanwhile, I would put someone in charge of things here. Thepany and all my other assets. I want you all to respect that person. No one at all must go against her orders. If you disobey her you have directly disobeyed me.. have I made myself clear¡± They nodded sullenly.


    ¡°Good¡­ I want you all to be of the best behavior when I¡¯m gone. I¡¯m certain you all are gonna love her¡­ you may go now¡± She dismissed them and they left wondering who thedy would be. Bill stood watching her a million thoughts running through his mind. He had a feeling something bad wanted to happen. He knew she was not just any woman. She was special, and too beautiful. So many rich men had wanted to court her after Damian had left her, but she had tantly refused. He himself was attracted to her, he knew of her pains, how she¡¯d cry almost every night in her bedroom thinking none was listening. But he was always listened and had wished with all his heart that he could relief her pains.


    ¡°Bill¡± she called and he walked towards her. She stare at him for a while before pulling him into a hug. Bill stiffened before hugging her back. she felt so small and fragile. His heart leapt in joy, thinking mrs grace had finally noticed he loved her, and wanted to give him a chance though she was older than him. She withdrew and stare up at him.


    ¡°I¡¯ve always trusted you bill, I know you¡¯d never let me down when I¡¯m gone..¡± Bill frowns down at her.


    ¡°I¡¯m noting along?¡± He¡¯s never let her out of his sight, unless of course she wanted to sleep. She smiled sadly and shook her head sideways.


    ¡°I prefer I travel alone. While I¡¯m away, I want you to put everything in order for thedy who¡¯s gonna be in charge. You¡¯d continue to guard her like you do to me, yes? Bill frown deepened and he nods. She respond with a smile and left.


    Mrs grace walked into her daughters room and closed the door firmly behind her. Two maids were in the room. She stared at them and gave them a warm smile. They smiled back, wondering why she was acting strange.


    ¡°Could you give me some privacy please?¡± They nodded and left the room. Mrs grace walked to the unconsciousdy and sat close to her. Tears gathered in her eyes. she looked around her daughter¡¯s room like she won¡¯t see it again before returning her gaze back to the unconsciousdy.


    ¡°I¡¯m gonna do this, for you, for me and for my daughters. I feel so wretched and seeing you made me realise I could finally peace by saving you. I know you are special at heart, the more reason I¡¯m gonna save you¡­ even if it would cost my life¡± She sniffed and wipe a tear that slipped out.


    ¡°All you need to know, has been written on the letter in the library. Everyone is gonna know about it, and they wouldn¡¯t disrespect you¡± She whispered lowly.


    ¡°you¡¯re a special breed. I want you to use your powers wisely. Stay happy and live life happily¡­ most importantly, forgive¡±


    She took one final look at the room again, before cing her two palms on either side of thedy¡¯s face. She suck in her breath and began to chant lowly.


    The ring began to glint. Silver like light began to glint against thedy¡¯s forehead. She continued to chant. Her eyes tightly closed, her lips moving quickly. The light increased as she chanted. Sweat began to gather on mrs grace¡¯s forehead as the bullet wounds began to close, The bullets falling out and the flesh closing back. She continued to chant, the bruises slowly healing and the cuts slowly closing back. Mrs grace could feel her breath leaving her but she continued to chant. Her hands began to shake, and her breath was strained. She mustered all the courage in her and continued moving her lips quickly. Sweat ran down her face, and the unconsciousdy breathing became steady. The silver light turned red and more brighter. She didn¡¯t break the mutterings. Her breath was leaving her, her legs were shaky and hot tears began to spill out of her eyes. Thedy moved a finger and slowly began to breathe steadily. All the bruises were gone and her skin was back to normal. She sucked in a deep breath and began to cough. Mrs grace felt weak to the bones already and she was gradually slipping out of consciousness. With thest of her strength she pulled off the ring and slipped it into selene¡¯s finger. Selene¡¯s eyes fluttered open and Mrs grace fell to the floor, her hands limp and her breathing ragged. A smile tug at her lips painfully as she stared at the now consciousdy. Her eyes began to close on thier own ord. Selene sat up on the bed and her gaze went to Mrs grace on the floor. A tear slipped out of her eyes as mrs grace finally closed her eyes, slipping into oblivion, the cold hands of death drawing her in.

 CHAPTER 4

    A tear slid down Selene¡¯s cheeks as she watch Mrs Grace die. She had been half unconscious and had been able to hear what the woman had said. She sniffled and look around therge bedroom. The door opens and two maids walk in. They gasp on seeing mrs grace on the floor and rushed to her. They tapped her incessantly but she was already cold. A maid screamed and ran out of the room, secondster bill came rushing in. He rushed to her and checked her pulse. She wasn¡¯t breathing. His heart pounded as he slowly closed her eyes which were open. He could feel perspiration gather in his forehead as he looks up to see selene on the bed. He didn¡¯t recognize the almost dead girlst night. She didn¡¯t look like one who was shot or injured. They were no scars or bruises again. He looked down at mrs grace and back at Selene again. Mrs grace words reyed in his head. She said she was going on a journey, where he couldn¡¯t follow her. Tears blurred his vision and he clench his fist in pain. He didn¡¯t know what she did, but she had sacrificed herself to let this girl live. This was thedy who had reced her. Tears slip out of his eyes. He had been a fool, he didn¡¯t have the slightest idea what she had meant by that, now she had died right under his nose and he hadn¡¯t been able to save her.


    ¡°Go call an ambnce, break the news to the rest of the workers.. hurry¡± He sank to his knees and gathered her in his arms. She felt so light, so weak¡­ so fragile!. Tears burned his eyes and he stood and ced her on the bed. Selene stood up and backed out against the wall. She didn¡¯t want to get any close to a guy. They did this to her, ruined her life and career. They were all evil. They shouldn¡¯t be among women. Bill saw the instant hatred in her gaze and he had this sickening feeling that this wasn¡¯t going to end here, he didn¡¯t know how but he knew more deaths wereing.


    Workers swarmed into the room some of them wailing in anguish, some sobbing quietly, some just staring at Mrs grace. It was such a strange death. Her mouth was slightly open like someone who was struggling for breath. Minutester paramedics rushed in and she was wheeled out of the room admit the chaos.


    Selene watched all these as tears pooled in her eyes. she rubbed the ring Mrs grace had slipped into her fingers as she felt a different kind of energy surge through her viens. All the workers followed the paramedics out of therge room, till it was bill and Selene left in the room. He closed the door firmly behind him and turned to the frighteneddy. He stared at her, taking in her beauty, he brush it off as anger surged through him.


    ¡°What did you do to her!¡± He yelled immediately. She was beautiful, with fair skin and waist length jet ck hair. she wiped her cheeks and shook her head.


    ¡°I.. didn¡¯t do it¡± She mutter lowly. All the anger in bill evaporated at the sound of her voice. He shamelessly felt his bulge rising, her voice sounded like music to his ears. He stared at her before turning to walk out of the room, afraid she might notice his hardened bulge against his pants. Selene sat back on the bed and began to sob . It was all her fault, damn it!, if only she hadn¡¯t gone out that night!.


    She didn¡¯t want this to happen, but she needed the cash for college fees and had gone to the club that night to look for a job. She had stayed all night, serving drinks and getting little cash. Guys had thrown lewd jokes at her,plimenting her body, asking for a nightstand. She had declined them all. She needed the money for college, she was the good girl, didn¡¯t have time for men. Everything changed when she went out for fresh air, the club smelt of alcohol and cigarettes, she needed to be away for just few minutes. She had gone out through the back door and before she could blink, she was immediately hit with a rod.


    The next time she opened her eyes. She was stripped naked and tied to a chair. Ten men had been present in the room. They had reeked of alcohol and cum. They raped her in turns and for hours, beaten her into a pulp till she could barely whimper. She cried and pleaded till there wasn¡¯t any strength left in her. They had mercilessly beaten and raped her. She was beaten till she fainted and when she woke up, she found herself in a smelly ce. Her thighs hurt like hell, her head throbbed, and she felt a searing pain in between her legs. she wished for death which didn¡¯te. She resigned herself to fate, fate came in the help of a woman and she had slipped into unconsciousness again.


    Now that same woman had not only sacrificed her life to her but had given her powers. She looked down at the ring and a small thin smile tugged at the corner of her lips.


    Yes, she had powers now, and she¡¯d revenge,e what may. She¡¯d turn into a sex goddess, she would give them what they want, they would bow to her wishes and then she¡¯d lure them into her trap. Use them to as a pawn. She stood up from the bed and walked to the door. She opened it slowly and stepped out, taking in the beauty of therge living room. No one was present. They were probably gathered outside crying for the sudden loss of Mrs grace. She walked towards the huge steps and began to climb it, looking around at the painting and expensive furniture as she went. She could recall the woman telling her all she needed to know was in the letter In her study. She opened a door and it looked like a guest room. She closed it back and opened another, same thing. She closed it back and moved towards another door. She threw it open and stared at it. Yes, this should be her room. She went in and closed the door softly behind her. She looked around the huge room in awe. How could someone be this rich!. She saw a door ajar and walked towards it. She open it fully and step in, her eyes lit up when she realised it was the study in question, she saw a table piled up with papers and walk towards it. There, she saw arge sheet of paper addressed to


    ¡°The girl with the ring¡±


    Selene look down at her fingers were the ring was. She return her gaze to the letter, sat on a chair and began to read.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    She read it thrice, word for word, till she could remember every word by heart. She sigh sadly and move away from the table. She had badly wished the woman would still be around when she woke up, but fate turned her sour. The letter said a lot, she had willed all her properties to her, which consisted of half the properties of Miami and other cities. she seemed filthy rich, Selene heart swelled with joy when she realised all this would be for her. Thedy had also wanted her to use her powers wisely. She was an enchantress, and had given selene her powers. she had stated in the letter that she had the power to kill to heal, and to enchant. Whatever emotions she felt towards anyone would determine the person¡¯s fate. Selene smiled widely. This sounds good. She wanted her to treat the workers well, take good care of thepany assets, she believed selene to be nice. Selene shook her head, she¡¯d do all the woman had told her to do, but only if she is satisfied with her revenge mission.


    ¡°What are you doing in here!¡±


    Selene flinch as she whip her head to the door to see the huge guy that had used her of killing mrs grace. She took in his huge build, arms rippling with muscles, the shirt doing little to hide it. she dropped the letter and got off the chair. She stared right at him with herrge dark eyes. A smile tug at her lips. Yeah, she¡¯d start with this guy. She¡¯d make him yearn for her, she¡¯d trap him in her little cute world. She grin and begin to take bold steps towards him.


    Bill could feel his bulge harden as she walked towards him. He didn¡¯t know why, but he find himself unable to resist her dark gaze. He stared at her full perky breasts, thrusting forward in the light dress she wore. He wondered how they¡¯d feel In his hands, herrge hips swaying sideways as she walked. He shook his head to clear the bad thoughts, he shouldn¡¯t be thinking about this when mrs grace just died. She stopped inches away from him. He looked down slightly at her. She was tall and her fair oval face,rge dark eyes and full plump lips could make any sane man think crazily. He wanted to run, away from her dark gaze, away from her goddess like body, but he found himself rooted to the spot. A smile curved at her lips, showing off her sparkly teeth. All the resolve to run disappeared as her hand trail down his pants and rested against his hardened cock. she leaned forward towards him and tilt her head, her breath fanning his neck.


    ¡°Hey¡­ I¡¯m selene¡­. and I wanna make you cum¡±

 CHAPTER 5

    Selene smile slowly and bit her lips.Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.


    ¡°I want you to paint my face white¡± She giggle and and push him out of the library. Bill was far gone, totally intoxicated by her dark lustful gaze. She pushed him to the bed and straddled him. She packed her hair hastily, lean down and crash her lips against his.


    Bill¡¯sst resolve to push her away dissolved as he felt her in his mouth. She slowly grind her ass against his length as he suppressed a groan, the voice of warning tiny in his head. She was in charge, and she¡¯d always be in charge. Her tongue stroked his expertly and he groaned into her mouth, taking in the sweet taste of her lips. She tastes heavenly. She sucked on his lower lip as her fingers brushes through his hair. She didn¡¯t moan, she wasn¡¯t affected by this, she was in charge and she¡¯d never look vulnerable. Moaning meant she enjoyed it and even if she did she¡¯d never moan.


    Selene unbuttons his shirt buttons and run her fingers down his hairy chest.


    ¡°I wanna eat you¡­ undress already¡±. She smacked her lips and he sit up and shrug out of his shirt and pants. She giggle to herself as she watch him hastily undress. She widen her eyes as he pulls out his already hardened length. Bill stares darkly and lustfully at Selene still d in her gown. He reached for the elms but she swat his hands away.


    ¡°I¡¯m in charge big boy¡± She smirk and took off her gown, left in only her panties and bra. She took her time, bill watching with hunger in his eyes, wishing he could tear out those panties and devour her. She smirk inwardly. releasing her luscious breasts from the confines of her bra. She watch bill trail his gaze down to her bare breasts. She knelt beside him and wrap her fingers around his length.


    ¡°Rx big boy¡­¡± She grin as she slowly stroked her fingers up and down his length. Bill clench his teeth . He¡¯s never felt this way during sex, this was different¡­ it felt like though it weren¡¯t done by a randomdy, done by someone¡­ more powerful. He couldn¡¯t stop his self from groaning loud. He felt guilty, having sex with ady on the morning of his boss death. But he couldn¡¯t help himself from wanting to have her. He couldn¡¯t resist her.


    ¡­.


    ¡°Wee to my little world Big boy¡±


    Selene dug her toes in the smooth persian rug fittings as she stared at the dark inky night full of stars. The breeze fluttering her red night dress. She stare at the city below and twirl the ss of wine in her hands. A smile tug at her lips. The ring cold against her skin, reminding her she¡¯s got powers now, her head filled with different wild thoughts. Bill was in her world now. She¡¯d use him as she liked, as she pleases. She had left him to take care of things regarding the death of her saviour. He couldn¡¯t resist now, he¡¯s been enchanted.


    That¡¯s gonna be same to any guy shees across. She¡¯d have wild sex with them, they¡¯d beg for more, and she¡¯d lure them into her trap. She¡¯d kill those who did evil, made sure she left no one spared. They¡¯d have a taste of her, and that¡¯s all it¡¯s gonna take. She gulped down her drink. Sheer excitement strumming her nerves strings, the world beware of her. She¡¯s here


    to take over. She moisten her lips and chug down the rest of the drink. She looked down the night life of the city of Miami and she giggled, excitement bubbling inside her.


    She¡¯s freaking rich.


    She rules now.


    Because she¡¯s Selene


    Because she¡¯s an Enchantress¡­

 CHAPTER 6

    Selene¡¯s dark gaze lingers on the guy in shorts as he yed in the sand with his blonde lover. She took a sip from her cocktail and ced it back on the fancy bench beside her. She push her sunsses high up her nose as the sun kisses her fair skin, her eyes roaming the colourful the beach in the suburbs of Miami.


    She was gradually gaining grounds. Barely three weeks since her saviour died and half of Miami had known of the fair skinned goddess. Rich horny fuckers were trying to get in touch, wanted a nightstand and were shamelessly begging for it. She chuckled and return her gaze to the man and his girlfriend. They were lying t on the sand, the water waves sshing all over their body. She bit her lips already feeling heat settle in her. She took arge sip of her drink and watch as the guy sits up and his eyes stop on her body. She grinned wolfishly and shook her head. Three weeks was enough to discover her powers. Mrs grace was given the best funeral ceremony. It was a sad death. And unbelievable that mrs grace willed all her properties to just onedy.


    Bill strides towards her, d in ck boxer briefs and body fitting shirt, aptop wedged in underarms and two phones in his hands. He scowled at the few guys staring hungrily at her and settled beside her, dropping the stuffs on the fancy table.


    ¡°Morning Selene¡­¡± He greets cheerfully.


    ¡°Hey Bill¡­ the morning is sure good isn¡¯t it?¡± She smiles and bill nods. He was used to her quite alright, her smiles which said a lot. Her dark lidded eyes full of unspoken hidden words. The only thing he couldn¡¯t get used to was the unsettling feeling he gets in his boxers whenever he¡¯s close to her.


    ¡°You¡¯ve got tons of messages and your phone is flooded with missed calls, why put your number in the when you wouldn¡¯t pick any¡± He sighs in exasperation. She chuckles.


    ¡°They want the same thing, to get down with me, it¡¯s good to keep them waiting, make them yearn, make them fantasize too¡± She grin at him and get off the lounger just as her phone rings. Bill groans and dangle it at her.


    ¡°Its a saved contact, you wanna answer it?¡± He says facing the screen to her. she sigh after staring at the screen.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    ¡°Yeah, I would but keep him waiting still¡± She tap him on the shoulder and turn to walk to the beach. Bill stared at herrge backside as she walked, his eyes roaming her entire body. Why was she this perfect, this sexy, why couldn¡¯t he resist her. He couldn¡¯t forget the short but passionate wild sex they had weeks ago. He wanted more, but selene had bluntly refused, she didn¡¯t bed twice. He couldn¡¯t refuse either. He agrees to whatever thing she said. Call it stupid but no one could ever refuse Selene. It¡¯d take just a look from her alluring eyes and it was enough to make you bow to her wishes. He picks up the drink Selene had left and drank up, as he red daggers at the guys watching selene y in the water.


    Wayne dipped the dirty napkin into a bowl of water and carefully washed it. He nced at Fiona staring at their sleeping sick mom Susan. He sighs and return back to washing. Life could be cruel sometimes. Wayne Anderson couldn¡¯t believe life could turn sour. Stuck with a sick mom and a younger sister to cater for, he needs to go out of hisfort zone to provide for them. He returned back to the bed and kissed Susan on the forehead.


    ¡°Fiona¡­ I won¡¯t be back tillte at night, Boss wants me around. Make sure mom takes her meds alright?¡±


    ¡°Alright Wayne¡­ be careful¡± She smiled up at him as he left the confines of their cramped up apartment. Fiona return her gaze back to her mom and pouted. How she loved and admired Wayne. Always providing whatever they need. He¡¯s always been that way; caring and responsible. If only dad didn¡¯t die. She missed the happy times she had when he was alive. In a big house with lots of good food and dresses. All that seems to have vanished when he died in an airne crash. Found out dad was owing huge debts and they had confiscated all their properties to pay up dad¡¯s loan. She blink herrge eyes and got off the floor. Rummaging through the drawer for a magazine, she flopped down the couch and smiled down at the picture disyed on the front covers, the fair skinned goddess.. Selene. How she loved her!. She¡¯s been obsessedtely with the new fair skinned goddess making a lot of stirs in Miami. She secretly wished she could meet her. Thisdy that treated all women fairly and spitted men. She tossed the magazine back to the drawer after skimming through the pages for some time and sauntered to the kitchen to fix breakfast.


    Wayne stood at the desk and watched as Zach, his boss typed away at hisptop. He¡¯s quite lucky to be the personal guard to a freaking rich man. He knew how good his boss was, but he never told him of his mom¡¯s sickness. He didn¡¯t want pity, he would surely fend for himself. Zach looked up at Wayne as a huge smile crept up his face.


    ¡°Wayne¡­. do you think I¡¯d meet the fair skinned goddess someday?¡± Wayne clenched his teeth but didn¡¯t reply. goddamit!


    ¡°How I wish to stare at those beautiful eyes of her, run my hands down her body and choke her till she screams!¡± His face took on a dreamy look and Wayne stared at him in disgust. Why is every guy in Miami fantasising about the bitch. He hated her with every ounce of his breath. She was causing a lot of unhealthy stirs in Miami. He had looked her up the. No doubt she was too beautiful, but he wasn¡¯t enthralled. He¡¯s never had time for women and had refused every sane woman wanting to bed him.


    ¡°Wayne!¡± Zach calls and he snap out of his thoughts to stare at his boss.


    ¡°Yeah boss?¡± He groaned wishing he didn¡¯t appear at work today.


    ¡°I want to meet Selene at all cost. Even if its just a night. And you may help me when I need your help¡± Wayne resisted the urge to m the stupid leer off his face but he nods instead, anger pulsing down his veins.


    ¡± Alright boss¡­ I¡¯d be d to help, whenever you need it¡± He says forcing a smile.

 CHAPTER 7

    ¡°Bad day at work huh?¡± Fiona asks as she sets the table. Wayne unbuttons his dress shirt and toss it angrily to the couch as he remembered what his boss had said. Damn it!. Why the fuck does he need his help to getid with that bitch!.


    Yeah Fiona¡­¡± Wayne groans and she sighs.


    ¡°You seem really pissed, what did Zach do this time!¡± She pouts and begin to dish food out for him. Wayne scoffs. He knows her too well, she also loves the bitch, no matter how he tried to hide the magazines she manages to buy, he¡¯d always find her buried into the magazine, staring at Selene and praising her beauty, fuck it!.. it would be useless telling her.


    ¡°Nothing serious Fiona, just office work¡­ how¡¯s mom faring?¡± He asks dismissively.


    ¡°She¡¯s good, a trip to the bathroom once and then that was all, I took her to the room and she¡¯s been sleeping after taking her meds. We are already running out of meds Wayne, and we ain¡¯t got enough cash for her hospital bills!¡± Fiona lips twitched in concern and he sighs. He hates being reminded of his mom¡¯s critical state and not having the cash to foot her medical bills makes him hate himself the more.


    ¡°Fiona¡­ as long as I breathe¡­ I¡¯d make sure she gets treated okay?¡­¡± She plumps down the couch and sighed.


    ¡°Yeah Wayne¡­ I know but I can¡¯t help but feel worried, I wish everything could go back to the way it was, lots of money, food good clothes¡­.¡± She trail off, sadness overwhelming her. Wayne chest tightens in pain. He wants to do more, make their sick mom suffering from lung diseases get cured, give them the best life could offer¡­ he¡¯d keep trying just for them.


    ¡°Fiona¡­¡± He drawls as he walks over and sit beside her.


    ¡°Number one Anderson rule?¡± He asks as he stared at herrge eyes full of sadness, sadness he wished to take away. She suck in her breath and fiddle with her fingers.


    ¡°Forget about the past..¡± She mutter slowly.


    ¡°Second rule?¡± His lips twitched into a smile.


    ¡°Think about making the future better and third rule, Believe¡± She rolled her eyes and theyughed.


    ¡°Fiona.. i¡¯ve saved up half of mom¡¯s medical bills¡­ once mom gets treated everything would be fine¡­ you can eat all you want and wear fancy dresses alright?¡± He pats her arm and she nods.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    ¡°Yeah Wayne¡­ I believe that¡± She smiled and got off the couch.


    ¡°Come on Wayne¡­ let¡¯s have dinner¡­¡± She walked to the small dining table as Wayne sighed, feeling doleful.


    ¡­


    Selene stared at the muscr guy sitting across her on the swivel chair. She took in his entire office room. Nice decor, really expensive, a government worker probably. Her lips twitched in disdain, she rubbed her finger against the ring.


    ¡°Selene¡­. I¡¯d do anything to have you just once¡­ Tell me how much I¡¯d pay!¡± He slurred on his words as he stared at Selene¡¯s ck dress clinging to her body like a second skin, her protruding breasts making him hard already.


    ¡°You want a night with me huh?¡± Selene stands and walked towards him. He swallowed nothing and nod profusely.


    ¡°I¡¯ve been waiting for this day Selene¡­ the day I¡¯d set my eyes on you¡­ The day I¡¯d get the chance to run my hands down your body¡­¡± He trailed off as Selenees behind him. She leaned down, cing her palms on his shoulders. She sniffed him slowly, grazing her nose against his neck.


    ¡°You smell nice bad boy¡± She says huskily. He clench his teeth and ced a palm over his bulge, it was embarrassing.


    ¡°Selene!¡± He groans as she trail her hand into his shirt, fingers trailing along his bare chest.


    ¡°There¡¯s a price¡­. are you willing to pay?¡± Shees to his front and lower her butt on the table, cing a foot between his legs and against his bulge. His veins pulsed, aching terribly for her. Fuck she¡¯s a bitch!, irresistible too damn it!


    ¡°You are a politician¡­. you¡¯ve got so much cash, I¡¯m fuckin sure you bribed your ass to this position¡­. didn¡¯t you?¡± She dtes her eyes at him. He stared at her full lips and nod.


    ¡°Yeah¡­. when things don¡¯t work in your favor¡­ you consider the odds¡±. She nods and a stab of anger gnawed at her. Hell yes she did consider the odds weeks ago. She tried working at a club, and it ruined her career, and that was because she was ¡®considering the odds!¡¯ She was jolted out of her thoughts when he sneaks his finger into her dress.


    Selene¡¯s gaze returns to the man. Quite huge, obviously rich, trampled on the necks of poor helpless girls like her, usurping ill gotten wealth. She let his hand trail on her bare thighs and to hercy panties. Fuck she isn¡¯t even wet!. Selene stops him from going further and get off the desk, ambling to the ss walls to hide her anger.


    ¡°You sure do know I¡¯m freaking rich too right?¡± She says icily as she watch the fluffy clouds through the ss walls.


    ¡°I¡¯m ready to pay whatever you stake¡­ fuckin name it!¡± His voice had dropped to a pleading one, perspiration gathering on his forehead. She turns and almost chuckle at the cigarette stick he lits shakily. She walks to him and takes the already lit cigarette from him.


    ¡°I want all of your goddamn billions in your life savings¡­¡± She smirked at him as his countenance drops. He stare at her, sizing her up. Life savings of over a fuckin hundred billion dors for just a night!. His hungry eyes roam her body, stopping at her full breasts visible from the gown she wore as she leaned down. Her breath fanned his face, enticing him, daring him to object. Slow seconds passed. Life savings in a single night sounds fucked up. She took a long drag from the cigarette, and puff the thick smoke all over his face.


    ¡°I guess it¡¯s a deal bad boy¡­ Send me the address of the penthouses you own. i¡¯d pick one, don¡¯t be a secondte¡± She ruffled his hair and slid the cigarette stick into his parted lips.


    ¡°Dunhill cigarettes¡­ nice choice¡± She whisper as he stared at her in total defeat. What¡¯s so special about a hundred billion. He could have more than that from the numerous contracts he had signed. He just wanna bed her, plunge into her tight cute cunt and have the best ride. A hundred billion dors was nothing. Pulling the cigarettes out of his mouth, he butt the end of the stick to the ashtray and returned back to his work, excitement making him unable to concentrate.


    ¡ã¡ã¡ã¡ã¡ã


    She smeared her lips with a red lip gloss, smacked her lips and stared at her tall self in therge mirror. She looked hot, sexy, irresistible. That¡¯s how it should be. She made her way out of the ensuite bathroom in the pent house and stopped at the door to watch the man d in white boxer briefs and chugging down his ss of wine. His eyes met hers and she could almost feel his mouth run dry.


    ¡°You¡¯re fuckin sexy Selene!¡± He says huskily staring at her d in a ck lingerie.


    ¡°Yeah¡­ I¡¯ve beenbeled thattely¡± She opened a closet and brought out a ck leather whip and thin strip of rope before shutting it close.


    ¡°ggtion¡­. before sex, pretty cool huh?¡± She voice out as she stare at him. He didn¡¯t think twice before nodding.


    ¡°Good boy¡± She giggled as he striped off,pletely nude.


    ¡°Wow¡­. you look cute¡± Shepliments and pulled off her lingerie, till she was left in her panties and bra. He swallowed hungrily as she walked to him. She was quite tall, so she measured up to his height.


    ¡°I¡¯m in charge alright?¡± She bit her lips seductively before going behind him.


    ¡°Hands at your back¡± She says and he obeyed meekly. She tied the rope around his wrists till it was properly done.


    ¡°Now sit your bare ass down¡± She says and slowly pull him down. His breath was shallow. A rich man reduced to nothing in front of her. She stood back and wrapped the end of the whip in her hands.


    ¡°Yeah we go¡­.¡± She snickered and whipped him hard across his bare thighs. He clenched his teeth and groan at the pain. She whipped him again and making sure the whip came in contact with his hardened length.


    ¡°Selene!¡± He groans as she whipped him again, his skin reddening immediately from the pain. This was more like a punishment for a crime he didn¡¯tmit. He shut his eyes as the whip cracked his bare thighs, and bulge. Now he merely concentrated on the sex they would have. She continued whipping him, as he pushed down the groan threatening to erupt from him. He soon lost count of how long she whipped him. Five minutes?, six minutes?, he couldn¡¯t tell. But when he finally opened his eyes and it stops on his bloody thighs, he clenched his teeth at the pain.


    ¡°Selene!¡± He says through clenched teeth as he stared at her. Disbelief etched on his face. This wasn¡¯t pleasure!, this is torture for fuck sake!. She drops the whip and squat in front of him.


    ¡°I think it¡¯s enough Selene you¡¯ve fuckin bruised me!¡± He growls lowly. The smile left her face as a deadly look settled on her face. He blinked his eyes, scared at the look she gave him.


    ¡°I¡¯ve lost my appetite!¡­ Do you have a family?¡­ wife?.. kids??¡± She


    voiced out her voice cold. He hesitated a second.


    ¡°No I don¡¯t selene why these¡­¡±


    ¡°¡­. Then it would be easier!¡± She interrupted harshly before cing her hands either side of his face.


    ¡± What do you mean¡­¡± He starts to say but trails off as they lock gaze. He suddenly went mute as he couldn¡¯t break the stare.


    ¡°You¡¯re bad¡­. I hate bad people, its gonna be quick bad boy¡± Her voice seemed to have lost emotions as she began to chant His eyes dtes in surprise but he didn¡¯t break the stare, he wants to, but it seemed impossible. He caught twinkles in her eyes¡­ wicked twinkles and before he could register what was happening, he felt his life being squeezed out from his body.


    ¡°Selene!¡± He rasps as he stared at her, trying to tug the rope securing his hand into ce. Her only response was her low almost inaudible chanting. His breathing became ragged as his pulse increased. Perspiration broke out on his skin as he began to feel weak. He parted his lips, straining for breath, fighting against the hard ws of death. It was fruitless. not with selene staring at him and chanting. few painful minutes passed, his arms went limp as Selene broke the stare and stopped chanting. His eyes shut close, head slumped against his chest and mouth slightly parted, lifeless¡­. dead.


    Selene backed out against the wall as her hearth thumped against her chest, eyes zed over as she stared at the sitting dead man. She killed him. She freaking did. Hugging her knees close she watched his lifeless figure as she sobbed quietly..

 CHAPTER 8

    ¡­.


    ¡°You haven¡¯t really told me about your family Wayne¡­ haven¡¯t you got one?¡± Zach asks from the back seat as Wayne drove him home. He knew Wayne to be very responsible and diligent worker. He was d he allowed Wayne to work for him a year ago and he¡¯s be apanion to him also. Wayne nced at him through the rearview mirror before facing the road again.


    ¡°I do have a family boss¡­¡± He mutters as he swerved In front of a car. He¡¯s always been reluctant to talk to people about his personal issues. Zach might readily help him for his mom¡¯s medical bills, but he isn¡¯t gonna depend on him.


    ¡°I hope to meet them¡­. you¡¯ve been a diligent worker since I employed you Wayne and I¡¯m d to have you¡± He says as Wayne smiled. it was one of the fewments that always seemed to lighten up his mood.


    ¡°Thanks Boss¡­ I don¡¯t regret working with you either.¡± Zach could stress him out sometimes, but he was a good boss. He owns a properties and assetspany. Rich, nice and sometimes a jerk¡­ Wayne couldn¡¯t ask for a better boss.


    ¡°Care for a stick?¡± Zach thrusts a pack of cigarettes forward.


    ¡°I don¡¯t smoke boss¡­ and you know it¡± Wayne rolled his eyes and Zach chuckles.


    ¡°For fuck sake Wayne¡­ stop acting like a fuckin kid¡­ who the heck doesn¡¯t smoke, this is the 21st century asshole¡± Zach groans as he stuck a cigarette stick into his mouth, and heughs.


    ¡°I know boss¡­ but it ain¡¯t just my thing¡­ drinking is much preferable¡± He says and Zach shrugs and continues smoking. He stared at the cars that zipped past him.


    ¡°She¡¯s giving me crazy chills this past few weeks Wayne!¡­ sent tons of text messages and not gotten any damn reply¡± Zach sighs. Wayne grip tightens on the steering, he knows who he¡¯s talking about, godamit not tonight.


    ¡°Boss¡­. She seems to be taking a lot of space in your headtely. It isn¡¯t really good for thepany¡± Wayne spits out. Zach sighs and puffs out smoke.


    ¡°Yeah I sure do know, but I can¡¯t seem to help it, just a night, it¡¯s not gonna hurt is it?¡± Wayne shrugs a shoulder.


    ¡°She isn¡¯t replying any calls or texts that¡¯s because she¡¯s famous Boss¡­. it might take a while¡­¡± He was tired of hearing her name. It always made his blood boil. He¡¯s been trying to find out who she is. Why Mrs Grace, a kind woman would will all her properties in her name. Nothing hurts than giving good stuffs to the wrong hands. Silence fills the car¡­ each with their thoughts.


    He halts the car minutester in front of his mansion, getting out of the car and opening the backdoor for Zach to step out.


    ¡°Goodnight boss¡­¡± Wayne ms the door shut as steps out. Zach smiles and pats his arm.


    ¡°Come pick me up at nine tomorrow¡± Zach says.


    He nods and gets into the car before driving out of the mansion, trying to push out the thoughts of Selene. He could bet everyone in Miami seems to be fascinated by her. He needed only one thing right now. Swerving right into the busy road he stepped on the gas and headed to his favourite club.


    Selene slides into the driving seat of the the masserati and reached for the pack of cigarettes on the dashboard. She lit a stick and mped it between her lips before driving down the road, face streaked with tears as she watched the night life of Miami whilst driving, smoking the stick and the smoke filling the air above her. Her mind registered only one thing¡­ she killed a guy. Not just anyone, a freaking politician. It had taken an hour for her to regain herself before she had left the pent house. Soon it would be on the news. She imagined the headline.


    POLITICIAN FOUND DEAD IN ONE OF HIS PENT HOUSE, NAKED AND SITTING WITH BLOODY BRUISES ON HIS THIGHS.


    She sniffed and brush off the tears with the back of her palm. She pressed a button as the sun roof folds out.


    The night air hits her skin and ruffles her hair. It seemed to calm her nerves. she took in a long drag of the half burnt cigarette flicking the ash on the ashtray beside her and trying to push out the image of the man she killed. Who died while sitting, mouth slightly open. Tuning the stereo, she selected a random music and it red out.


    She never knew life would turn out this way. she was just this shy tiny girl then, didn¡¯t know the bad side of life. Never knew her parents cos she grew up in an orphanage. Just when she decided to start


    a good life by going to college, life took a drastic twist. She wiped off another tear. Those men¡­ hell they are gonna pay. She¡¯d make sure of that. She shook her head to push out the thoughts. No time for regrets. No backing out.


    She lost track of time and found herself hourster in front of a club. Sighing, she halts the car and stared at the club entrance with tipsy figures around.


    ¡°What the fuck I¡¯m I doing here!¡± She mutters. It would only make her angrier the more¡­ or maybe a couple of drinks would ease the pain she felt. She got out and m the door shut heeding into the club.


    Wayne sat at a booth in the corner of the club as he drank, a million thoughts running through his mind. His phone dings and he pulled it out to check the caller, Stacey


    ¡°Fuck!¡± He cuss lowly. Stacey was one of Zach rich clients. She¡¯s been giving him the green lighttely but he pretends not to get the message. He mutes the call and shove it back into his cks.


    ¡°Holy Shit¡­. Selene!¡± A guy mutters lowly. Wayne whips his head sideways to stare at him. The guy looked lost. Wayne followed his gaze to the entrance of the club and dtes his eyes at the figure that walked in. For a second he thought he¡¯d spill the ss of drink in his hand.


    Fuck!, she¡¯s beautiful. The hot and sexy kind of beautiful. She made her way slowly to the bar, basking happily under the hungry stares of a lot of guys in the club. Wayne sits the ss of drink back on the table and leans back on his seat, no doubt her curvy figure was causing a lot of stirs in the club. The music was loud and the clubs dim lightings shone on her as she sit on a high stool. The guy sitting on the booth besides him stands up immediately and was striding to the bar. Wayne watched as he sits beside her. Something tugged at his heart. A bad feeling. If this was the Selene he was angry at, the selene he saw in pictures and who was gradually bing annoyingly popr in Miami, then hell it would take a lot for any guy to resist her. She had a certain aura about her. That made you wanna keep staring at her. He chug down his drink, hating the fact that he had checked her out. He gave a long nce at her, before getting off his seat and striding out of the club. He knew of one thing, Selene was never getting out of his mind anytime soon..


    Selene rolled out of the bed and sat at the edge. Grabbing a controller, she punched a button and the the drapes on the ss walls parts widely


    ¡°Shit I¡¯m totally wasted!¡± She groans at the dull ache in her head before sliding her feet into her slippers. She wrapped her hair into a bun and reached for the bottle of contraceptives. She had been so drunk


    st night and had made out with a guy in his car, Bill hade to take her home, but not after she was totally wasted.


    She buzzed the inte and Bill walks in secondster.


    ¡°Morning Selene¡± Bill says as he got in.


    ¡°Hey Bill¡­. hope I didn¡¯t make a scene in front of the other workersst night?¡± She swallows the pill and pushed it down with a gulp of water from the can.


    Bill clenches his teeth, not in anger towards her, but because of the pictures of her at the club on the, hitting over thousands of views sincest night.


    ¡°You got totally wasted yesterday Selene¡­. the workers for sure saw you¡­. but they didn¡¯t make a fuss about it¡±. She nods.


    ¡°Good to know bill¡­ get the car ready¡­ I¡¯d leave for the office in thirty minutes¡±


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you so bothered about your poprity¡­ Its been just three weeks Selene!¡± Bill says with disbelief etched on his face. She chuckles.


    ¡°Bothered?,e on Bill why should I be?¡± She rolled her eyes and he shrugs.


    ¡°What¡¯s your n for the day?¡± Bill asks as he stared her down. She plumps down the bedUpstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    ¡°I might visit few of the orphanages after work. I already have a list of the few I¡¯d visit today. I bet they are low on cash. You don¡¯t wanna know how it feels to be in an orphanage Bill¡± She sigh lowly and tuck her hair behind her ears.


    ¡°Huh?¡­ have you lived in one before?¡± Bill archs his brows at her. She blinks and shakes her head.


    ¡°No Bill, I already told you about myself haven¡¯t I?¡± Bill nods slowly. Selene had told him a lot about herself. How she lived with her rich parents in California before leaving for Florida to start college. He wondered of it were true sometimes. There was always a lot to wonder about when ites to Selene.


    ¡°Bill you zoned out¡­ what¡¯s on your mind¡± Selene scoffs and bill returns his gaze to Selene.


    ¡°Uh.. nothing Selene. I¡¯d go get the car ready, while you freshen up¡± She nods and give him a small smile as he leaves. Her phone dings and she picks it up from the nightstand and swiped at the screen. She groans at the numerous messages popping on her screen.


    ?A night with you Selene and I¡¯d give you the world?


    ?You make me imagine a lot of Crazy things Selene!. Text back!?


    ?Lost count of how many times I texted, I¡¯d keep texting till you reply fair skinned goddess?


    ¡°Dammit!¡± She cuss and toss the phone to the bed.


    Zach stared at the screen of theptop in sheer awe.


    ¡°Wayne!¡­ Selene visited a clubst night!¡­. Shit!¡± He growls, as he swiped through the numerous pictures of selene in the dim lit club. How could one be this sexy!.


    ¡°I should have been the one she chose to dance with darn it!¡­ should have checked thisst night!¡± He continues, ignoring the hard look Wayne gave him as he stood.


    ¡°It¡¯s gonna take hours from your house to get to the club she is boss¡­ She might have left then.¡± Wayne grits. He considered himself stupid for leaving the clubst night. Maybe he should have waited to see the guy she chose to dance with. He wondered why she decided to club there. It wasn¡¯t some sort of ssy club.


    ¡°Hell!.. like I fuckin care!. it¡¯s Selene Wayne.. I¡¯d do anything to get her underneath me!¡± He ms theptop shut in anger and gets off the swivel chair.


    ¡°I¡¯ve waited for too long Wayne¡­ I don¡¯t think I can wait any longer!¡± He rakes his hand at his hair in frustration and goes over to the cab, pouring himself a drink. He walks over to his desk and leans against it.


    ¡°I¡¯m not waiting any longer Wayne¡± Wayne sighs and fold his arms.


    ¡°So what are you gonna do boss?¡± He says, trying to conceal the anger in his voice. Zach chuckles..


    ¡°We are paying her a visit¡±.

 CHAPTER 9

    ¡°What¡¯s your offer Mr Smith¡± Selene smirks at the man staring at her across her office table or probably drooling at her. She taps her finger on the table as she let him have fun with his eyes.


    ¡°Uhh¡­ If I¡¯m ever.. to partner with Diamond corps, You¡¯re getting a higher percent of mypany shares.. and profits too¡± He stutters. Selene sized him up before chuckling.


    ¡°I can run Diamond corps fairly well without your partnership Mr Smith. why don¡¯t youe clean and state what you¡¯re here for. I¡¯ve got loads of appointments!¡± She spat out. He rubs his palm against his pants as he avoided her piercing gaze.


    ¡°Fine Selene!¡­ I want you!¡± Selene rolls her eyes and sip at her cup of coffee.


    ¡°Well I don¡¯t Mr Smith¡­ you¡¯re old, you don¡¯t wanna hurt yourself do you?¡± She smirked at him and he grins sheepishly.


    ¡°I don¡¯t mind getting hurt¡­ and age is just a number¡± He says and she nods.


    ¡°Yeah¡­ you¡¯re absolutely right. You know what¡­ how about we talk about it the next time we meet¡± She forced a smile.


    ¡°It took me weeks to make you pick any of my calls Selene!.. You might has well take a year to meet up with me again¡± Exasperationced his voice. Selene bites back augh at how he looked.


    ¡°It¡¯s gonna be worth the wait Mr Smith¡­ and it¡¯s a promise¡± She twitch her lips and his face lit up with a big smile, like one who¡¯s won a billion dor bet.


    ¡°That¡¯s quite reassuring¡­ I¡¯d be anxiously your reply¡± He says and she nods dismissively. He gets off the swivel and gave her a long hungry look before walking out of her office.


    ¡°Fuckin cunt!¡± She cuss and pulled the swivel closer. Lately she¡¯s been trying to get any information on the guys who had raped her. It¡¯s funny how no one seems suspicious of her. No one wondered who she was to mrs grace. Everyone seems to love her. She chuckle lowly and booth herptop on. They should be, or she would make them to.


    She scrolled through the numerous mails from the differentpanies she owned. Mrs grace had left her a life time fortune. And sometimes she wondered why Mrs grace would give up all her properties to her. She had put men in charge of the otherpanies, they were honest to her any ways. She had them wrapped around her tiny little finger. Afterall they already had a taste of her. And that was all she needed.


    Her phone buzzes and she stared at it. Another message. Buttely she¡¯s been interested in a guy. She picked her phone and swiped at the screen. She clicked on the message and stared at the guy who texted. Zachary Campbell. He sure do knows how to send a text. His message was always popping on her screen and it was as though he sat his ass down, doing nothing but texting her all day.


    She types his name on herptop and smiled as his information pops up. Rich, ssy, owns a fairlyrgepany, good looking too. She leans back into her seat and shrugs.


    ¡°Nice catch¡­¡± She mutters. She pick up her phone and smirk at the screen before replying.


    PICK A CLASSY RESTAURANT SUGAR, WE MEET AT EIGHT TONIGHT, DON¡¯T BE LATE¡­


    she read the message twice before sending it. She dropped the phone back on her table and buzzed the inte. The door opens secondster and her secretary, a slim blondie walks in. She¡¯s been working for Mrs grace for years. When she got the news of Mrs grace death, it had been a big blow to her. She had been sad but the new boss who resumed weekster made the pain less unbearable. She had instantly liked her. Same has all the workers in thergepany. They had been tipped nicely and had raised their sry a lot more higher than it was. Hell, who wouldn¡¯t love such person.


    ¡°Do I have any business appointment Gwen?¡± Selene smiles at her sincerely.


    ¡°No ma¡¯am. But Bill says you have a casual appointment¡± She replies cheerfully. Selene palms her cheek and huffs.


    ¡°Yeah¡­. I totally forgot, thanks¡± Selene voice out and she nods.


    ¡°What do you wanna have for lunch ma¡¯am do I make you another tasty meal?¡± She grins widely. Selene smacks her lips.


    ¡°Damn¡­ that sounds tempting!, but I¡¯m leaving home right away. I¡¯ve got something important to do, but I¡¯m gonna save that meal for lunch tomorrow okay?¡± Gwenughs and nod.


    ¡°Sure ma¡¯am I¡¯d make it really tasty. Mrs grace had always loved it¡± She smirks proudly and Selene chuckles. The door opens and Bill steps in.


    ¡°You may leave now Gwen¡± Selene says and she leaves.


    ¡°Bill¡­ We are gonna leave for the orphanage right away and I¡¯d go home afterwards¡± She says with a smile as she brings out her makeup and began to touch up.


    ¡°Do you have any ns afterwards?¡± Bill arch his brows at her. She smears her lip with gloss and nod.


    ¡°Yeah I do¡­¡± She gets off the seat and run her fingers through her straight, jet ck hair.


    ¡°Who are you meeting up with ¡­ a guy huh?¡± Bills says with angerced in his voice. She chuckles and pick up her handbag


    ¡°Yeah Bill¡± He groans inwardly.


    ¡°Business?¡± Bill asks and she rolled her eyes and stop in front of him.


    ¡°Absolutely right ¡­ how smart of you detective¡± she replies sarcastically.


    ¡°Fine, whatever you say¡± Bill raise his hands in surrender and groans before opening the door for her to step out.


    Shock crosses Zach¡¯s features as he stared at the text on his phone. He swallowed and run his hand down his face. He pondered if what he was seeing was true. She texted back and wanted meet up with him. He had been in a business meeting when his phone dinged. He knew it was from her cos he had a different message tone for her. He could barely concentrate throughout the meeting and when it had ended, he had literally bolted out of the conference room and into his office to check the text.


    ¡°Holy shit!¡± He whistles lowly and rake his hands at his hair. He musters a lot of courage before texting back. He crosschecked the address a hundredth times before sending it to her. He punches the inte and Wayne walks in minutes Zach bolts out of his seat.


    ¡°She¡¯s texted back Wayne!, she fuckin did!¡± He rasped as Wayne let his words sink in. He mutters a silent oh.


    ¡°You sure about this boss?¡± Wayne asks a bit. surprised. It seems unbelievable that she finally decided to meet up Zach after weeks of texting and calling.


    ¡°Are you fuckin kidding me Wayne¡­. get your ass out of the office and drive me home¡± He grabs his phone as Wayne rolls his eyes before walking out of the office. Hell!.


    Wayne halt the car in the parking lot of the cozy restaurant. Zach probably went overboard to book the most expensive restaurant. This sounds fucked up.


    ¡°How do I look Wayne¡± Zach nervously ncing at the rearview mirror to check out his outfit. Wayne puffs out tiredly. He had lost count of how many times he¡¯s asked that.


    ¡°You look good boss¡­ and really its just seven thirty. You¡¯re thirty minutes early¡±. Wayne stops himself from groaning loudly. These are times Zach acts like a jerk.


    ¡°I want this to be perfect Wayne¡­ I¡¯ve wanted this for weeks now!, I¡¯m not about to blow this one up¡±. He lits a cigarette stick and drew nervously on it. Wayne leans against the headrest as his mind wandered to his mom. He¡¯d need to stop by a mall to get groceries and maybe buy more drugs. They¡¯ve run out of a lot of things that he¡¯s lost count. He sighs and unstrap his belt.


    ¡°Boss I¡¯d drive around while you meet up with her¡± Zach archs his brows.


    ¡°Hell!¡­ . no way Wayne¡­. you¡¯re following me in!¡± Wayne turns to stare at him.


    ¡°Boss?¡± He asked in surprised.


    ¡°You heard me well Wayne¡­ I need all the courage to face her. And you¡¯d be there to give me the thumbs up whenever I need it¡± He grins and puffs out smoke. Wayne scoffs lowly.


    ¡°Is it necessary¡­ I mean you¡¯d be alright boss¡­ I really don¡¯t wanna be in there¡± He groans.


    ¡°No arguments Wayne¡­ I¡¯m not in for that right now¡± Zach rolls down the window and toss the half burnt stick out.


    ¡°I think I¡¯m set to go in now¡± He runs his palm down his oiled hair. Wayne says nothing, face taut with anger as he gets out of the car and opened the door for Zach to step out.Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.


    ¡­


    Selene walks into the double doors of the expensive restaurant with a small smile on her lips. The guy has obviously got ss. She looked around and her eyes settle on the man she came for. She walked towards the booth and as always men were shamelessly staring at her not minding they were with their dates.


    Zach rubs his palm against his ck pants nervously. It seemed surreal. Selene the fair skinned goddess was about to have a date with him. And they may probably spend the night together in some posh hotel. He gets off his seat as Selene gets to him.


    ¡°Hi¡­¡± He stuttered. Selene dazzling smile left him breathless. Gawd!, he¡¯s been a yer for a long while but ever since he saw Selene he¡¯s been obsessed with her.


    ¡°Thanks so much for honoring this date Selene¡­ it means a lot¡± Zach grins as she seat.


    ¡°You¡¯re early¡­ I love that¡± Selene says and Zach swallows and nced sideways at Wayne who was sitting a table away from theirs and watching them over the rim of his champagne flute.


    ¡°I hate to keep ady waiting¡­. You¡¯re beautiful Selene¡± Zach grins as he trail his eyes down her figure d in a v neck dress. Her long dark hair framed her face. Just with a dab of powder and lip gloss yet she looked breathtaking. she nods.


    ¡°Yeah right I know¡± She leaned back into her seat as she let him feast his eyes on her. A waitress approaches their table.


    ¡°I¡¯d just have wine¡± Selene tells her and she nods, trying to keep the surprise off her face at the sight of Selene.


    ¡°Water¡± Zach says and she leaves. Selene returns her gaze to him and it¡¯s with a smirk.


    ¡°So¡­. what do you want from me¡± She entwined her fingers and Zach looks kinda lost for moments. Courage was gradually failing him. He takes another sideways nce at Wayne. Wayne groans and nod slowly.


    Selene eyes follows his gaze and it stops on a guy sitting a table away. She paused to stare at him. Adrenaline ran down her spine. Fuck!, who the hell is this. He¡¯s a totally hot. She felt her body heat up in all the unusual ces as he sets his eyes on her.


    ¡°Selene¡­.¡± Zach calls and she turns to meet his gaze. She scoff lowly and push back her chair.


    ¡°We are rescheduling this meeting Sugar¡­¡± Zach face clouds but before he could protest she had gotten up and was walking towards Wayne.


    Wayne archs his brows as Selene walks towards him. He wondered for a splitting moment if she wasing towards him. She stops at his table and lower her butt on the seat across him. Flipping her hair back she gave him her best watery smile.


    ¡°Hi¡­ I¡¯m Selene¡± She voice out lowly.


    Her boldness left him startled. Wayne stared back and he took in her deep shade of amber coloured eyes. And for the thousandth time Wayne wondered why she was this beautiful??

 CHAPTER 10

    Selene gaze wandered down his build. Dressed in a body fitting ck shirt, his hair tousled and piercing green orbs she knew she wanted him already. She never believed she¡¯d approach any guy. But just a look at him and he got her attention. he¡¯s a freaking hot piece. She leaned back into her seat, watching him as he eye raped her. He¡¯s gonna be an easy catch¡­ they have always been an easy catch for her.


    Wayne fingers grazes the wine ss he held as he stared at Selene. Now he¡¯s seeing her at a close range he didn¡¯t know what to make of his anger. She¡¯s got sexy amber coloured orbs, and a face you wanna keep staring at. He could feel almost every one staring at their table. He took a risk and nced at Zach who looked like he¡¯s been dropped from the sky. The embarrassment left him tongueless and maybe he would have peed on his boxer briefs. Who abandons their date to meet another guy in the same fuckin restaurant,. obviously selene. Wayne returns his gaze back to Selene and gives her a tight smile.


    ¡°Your date is over there¡­ ma¡¯am¡± He says lowly and jabs his thumb at Zach. Selene scoffs.


    ¡°Well¡­ the date is over green orbs¡± A small smile ys on her lips. Wayne slightly arch his brows. Green orbs?, fuck!


    ¡°Do you mind if we step out for a while?¡± She gives him an alluring smile. Wayne sees the smirk on her face and he prevents himself from scowling. He leans forward on his seat.


    ¡°Your date over there is my boss¡­. so if you don¡¯t mind you could go back to him, you¡¯re causing a scene already¡± Wayne says through clenched teeth. Selene furrow her brows at him as the smirk leaves her face. What¡¯s he doing? ying the hard to get? Wasn¡¯t she supposed to do so. She bat hershes and the smile returns to her face.


    ¡°Well, that¡¯s settled then, you¡¯re hotter than your boss green orbs¡­ so quit the hard to get game and let¡¯s step out¡± She says and Wayne took in a breath, staring at her lips. They look soft he¡¯s sure of that. Okay he¡¯s got to admit, she¡¯s a fuckin flirt. He wasn¡¯t about loosing his job. For moment he wanted to pull her close and have a taste of her lips. The second moment he¡¯s sitting the ss of wine back on the table and fisting his palm in anger.


    ¡°You don¡¯t wanna make me loose my job do you?¡± Wayne raises his voice a notch as he took another nce at a distraught Zach. Selene goes quiet as anger sets in. Who the fuck is he. Did he just get into the city!?


    ¡°He isn¡¯t gonna do that trust me¡­¡± Her voice barely conceals the anger. Wayne clenched his teeth. Fuck it!Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Look I don¡¯t give a fuck about whats he¡¯s gonna doter. No one abandons their date to flirt with another guy¡­. Selene¡± He growls lowly. Selene stared at him. Damn it, the way he called her name, the way his jaw twitched in anger, the way his lips moved, makes her hot in bad ces


    ¡°And what if I don¡¯t wanna go back to him huh¡­¡± She taunted. Wayne dtes his eyes before shrugging a shoulder.


    ¡°Fine¡­ then have a great night.. Selene¡± He chug down his drink and pushed back his seat before striding out of the restaurant. Selene parts her mouth slightly open in sheer shock. She didn¡¯t see thating. She bit her lips in embarrassment and slowly clenched her fist. Holy shit!


    Wayne rakes his hand at his hair furiously as he slides into the ck sports car. He gripped at the steering as he stared at the restaurant double doors. Everything happened so fast he barely had time to think. He hates to think Selene ruined the date with Zach. He put in so much for this, and just a single move from Selene, it had caused a lot of shits. He wondered what Zach would do. The double doors open and Zach steps out. Wayne watches him as he gets to the car and slides into the passenger seat. Zach look wasted.


    He ignites the engine and drove out in silence. Its damn awkward!. Wayne groans inwardly. Zach already lit a stick and was puffing smoke.


    ¡°What did she say to you¡± Zach mutters after a long while. Wayne gives him a nce.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter boss¡± Zach chuckles.


    ¡°It does Wayne¡­ what were you guys talking about?¡± Dammit!. Wayne rakes his hand at his hair in frustration.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry about tonight, never knew it would turn out this way¡± Wayne stares at Zach. With his eyes bloodshot and face pale, he looked a mess already.


    ¡°I can¡¯t believe this Wayne¡± Zach says instead. I booked that reservation and it cost me a lot¡± He bites his lower lips, probably fighting down the urge to punch something.


    ¡°I¡¯ve never been this embarrassed Wayne¡± He run his hands down his face as Wayne drives in silence.


    ¡°She didn¡¯t mean what she did right?¡± Zach stares at him and he nods slowly.


    ¡°Yeah boss¡­ she probably had too much drink beforeing¡­ She¡¯s gonna apologize¡­. I¡¯m sure of that¡± He knew Zach well. Times like this you just have to give him assurance, even if it doesn¡¯t seem true. Zach smiles.


    ¡°Thank you Wayne¡­. I knew I could count on you anytime¡± Wayne gives him a tight smile as he pulls over at Zach¡¯s mansion. He step out and opens the door for Zach to step out. Me


    ¡°Goodnight boss¡± He mutters and Zach nods.


    ¡°Goodnight Wayne¡± Zach gives him a sad smile before patting his arm. Wayne watch him get into the building before getting into the car and driving home. Fuck! how could she do that. That¡¯s probably the worst thing that could happen to anyone. He couldn¡¯t get the image of Selene sitting across him and giving him her best flirty attitude. She was daring, and bold too. He halts the car minutester In the building parking lot and walk to their porch. He turns the knob and step into the living room. Fiona was engrossed in her phone and she whips her head up to stare at him.


    ¡°Wayne!¡± Fiona calls in surprise.


    ¡°Fiona¡­ what¡¯s up with the surprised look huh?¡± He plumps down a single couch as Fiona walks to him.


    ¡°Don¡¯t fuckin tell me you¡¯re the one in the picture!¡± She shoves her phone at his face as Wayne stared at he and selene sitting at the restaurant. He growled lowly Fuck!, he shouldn¡¯t have given Fiona a phone damn it!.


    ?????


    Selene tosses her bag at the couch and run her fingers down her hair in anger. She walk to the cab and pour herself a cup of vodka. She kicked off her shoes and walks to the couch to sit. She couldn¡¯t shake off the embarrassing moment of watching the green eyed devil walk out on her. It was shameful. This was the second worst day of her life. Bill walks into the living room and stared at Selene angry figure on the couch. He knew what happened anyways. He wished he had been there when that guy embarrassed her. He¡¯d have given him a hard punch on the face.


    ¡°Selene you¡¯re drinking too much¡± Bill says and selene raise her head to scowl at him.


    ¡°I told you I wanted to be alone Bill!¡± She roll her eyes at him and got off the couch. He sighs as she strides up the stairs and got into her bedroom. These are one of the times he misses Mrs grace. He shrugs and walks to his own bedroom.


    Selene wrapped her hair into a bun as she sits on the bed. She leans against the headboard and ced herptop on herps. She booth it on as a million thoughts run through her mind. Hell!, that guy ain¡¯t gonna go free. He¡¯s gonna pay for the embarrassment he caused. She¡¯d surely get him. And when she does she¡¯s gonna hurt him, trap him into her little world too. She chuckled lowly, and suck in her breath


    HEY SUGAR, MIND IF WE SCHEDULE ANOTHER MEETING?


    She scowled at the messaged before sending it. And first, she¡¯s gonna use Zachary Campbell to get him..

 CHAPTER 11

    ¡°Fiona¡­¡± Wayne drawls. ¡°You should be in bed now you know¡± He groans as he takes his eyes off the phone and kicked off his shoes. Fiona scoffs loudly, and she stare at the screen again.


    ¡°I¡¯m not thirteen Wayne!¡­ I just wanna be sure if my eyesight is strong, or I¡¯d need to see the optician¡± She roll her eyes as Wayne chuckles lowly.


    ¡°Fine¡­. you don¡¯t need to see an optician¡±. She gasps and bat hershes.


    ¡°So you mean you were the one with selene!?¡± Wayne rakes his hand at his hair but doesn¡¯t reply. She¡¯s a curious cat.


    ¡°Don¡¯t fuckin tell me you guys are dating!¡± She squeaked.


    ¡°Fiona!¡± He reprimands as she shoots her self and plump down the couch beside him.


    ¡°Okay Wayne¡­. I¡¯d try not to freak out¡± She shut her eyes and suck in her breath, before releasing it slowly.


    ¡°I¡¯m back to normal now!¡­ Are you seeing her now, went out a couple of times¡­e on brother what aren¡¯t you telling me!¡± She pout at him, her eyes pleading. Wayne sighs.


    ¡°Fiona¡­ that¡¯s the first time I¡¯m actually seeing her at a close range. She went on a date with Zach but shit went wrong when she abandoned him and came over to my table¡± He still couldn¡¯t believe it. He imagined Zach probably getting wasted with a couple of drink in his mansion. Fuck it!.


    ¡°Oh my gee!, that was the most bravest thing anyone could do. That means she couldn¡¯t resist your cuteness. How did it go?. Was she cute¡­ tell me you couldn¡¯t take your eyes off her¡± She teased and Wayne growls


    ¡°Fiona¡­ not tonight, I need to get to bed on time And college is resuming soon¡­ you need to start preparing alright?¡± Fiona arch her brows.


    ¡°Wait a second Wayne. Are you saying you¡¯re gonna pay for my college fees¡± She blurt out, pushing all thoughts of Selene away. His lips twitched In amusement. Fiona has been so sad when she finished highschool and he didn¡¯t have enough cash to pay for her college fees But now he would do so, he¡¯d try¡­ for her, cos she¡¯s always wished to go to college.


    ¡°Yeah yeah you heard me right, or do you wanna see an audiologist?¡± He rolls his eyes and she giggles.


    ¡°How about mom¡¯s medical bills, shouldn¡¯t we be focusing on that first?¡± She couldn¡¯t stress Wayne out knowing mom¡¯s medical funds are yet to beplete.


    ¡°Third Anderson rule Fiona?¡± Fiona smiles and threw her arms around him.


    ¡°Believe¡­ Thanks so much Wayne¡± She say tearily as he ruffles her hair.


    ¡°Okay crybaby that¡¯s enough, act like a neen year old kid okay¡± Fiona sniffles and wipe off her tears.


    ¡°I¡¯m not crying Wayne¡­ I¡¯m a big girl now¡± She flips her hair dramatically and he chuckles.


    ¡°Alright then I¡¯d just go see mom¡± Wayne gets off the couch as she nods and saunter happily to the kitchen to fix dinner.


    ¡°Bye mom¡± Wayne says and pecked her on the cheeks, tucking strands of hair back to her ears.


    ¡°Wayne¡­¡± She whispered lowly. Her lung disease made talking painful and so she barely did, except when necessary. She wished she could get cured and not depend on Wayne for everything. She felt useless for not being there for her kids when they needed her the most. Wayne squats to her height as she sat on the bed in her room.


    ¡°Yeah mom?¡± He smiled, staring at her pale eyes with bags underneath. She raise her hand to run it through Wayne hair.


    ¡°Thank you Wayne¡­ I wouldn¡¯t know what to do without you or Fiona¡± She swallow painfully as tears cloud her eyes. He takes her hand and press his lips against her knuckles.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to thank me mom¡­ it¡¯s my duty to protect you, and id always do so¡­ but you just have to stay strong mom¡­ I¡¯d hate to lose you¡± He yfully re at her and she forced a weak smile.


    ¡°Yeah Wayne, I¡¯d stay strong. I¡¯m just forty you know¡± She smirk and Wayneughs and peck her on her temple.


    ¡°Thanks mom, I should heed out to work¡± He smiles and picks up the car keys from the nightstand before striding out of the room.


    ¡ã¡ã¡ã¡ã¡ã


    ¡°Morning ma¡¯am¡± Gwen greets as she sets the cup of coffee on the coffee table.


    ¡°Morning Gwen¡­ You¡¯re kind ofte today¡­. Everything¡¯s good?¡± Selene says in concern as she lean forward on her seat. Gwen nods her head.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry about that ma¡¯am but I was stuck to the television tillte at night¡±. Selene wraps the mug around her fingers and takes a small sip.


    ¡°Then I guess it must be for a good reason right?¡± She nods immediately.


    ¡°It is ma¡¯am¡­ A politician was mudered few days ago¡± Selene shuts her eyes at the words but opens it secondster. She drops the mug on the saucer and run her hands through her hair.


    ¡°Good riddance to a fucker like him¡± Gwen blurts out. Selene arch her brows at her.


    ¡°You don¡¯t seem to like him that much¡± Selene voice out and resumes sipping at the coffee. Gwen scoffs.


    ¡°How smart of you to figure it out.. I¡¯ve always loathed him, he¡¯s among those corrupt dickheads who bought their way to whatever fuckin position he is now¡± Selene widen her eyes at her words. Gwen bites her lips.


    ¡°Forgive my curse words ma¡¯am¡± She says and Selene smiles and shrugs.


    ¡°So¡­. The killer did the right thing¡­. is that what you¡¯re trying to say?¡± Selene eyes watches her, awaiting her reply with bated breath. Gwen paused and twitched her lips.


    ¡°Good job to the killer ma¡¯am¡± She whispered and smirk. Selene looked down her coffee as she fights the urge to smile It was one thing killing someone and another thing to know she did the right thing.


    ¡°Thanks for that Gwen¡± She says with a smile.


    ¡°Huh?¡± Gwen asks in surprise. She blinks and force a smile.


    ¡°I meant the coffee Gwen¡­. thanks for the coffee¡± She slides the saucer across.


    ¡°Alright ma¡¯am¡± she smiles and pick it up before walking out of the office.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    ¡ª¨C


    Selene run a brush through her long curls and flip it to her back. she pursed her lips staring at her reflection in the mirror. Satisfied with her look she got off the the chair and slid her feet into a pair of heels. She straightened up and double checked the ck tiny strapped dress she wore. It was provocative, as it brought out all her curves.


    ¡°Perfect¡± She mutter and stride out of her room. She had a lunch date with one of her numerous horny fuckers. She had searched him up the, but they hadn¡¯t let out any personal information of him. Not even his picture. But from the text and promises he made she knew he¡¯s gonna be a rich guy. She walk down the stairs leading to therge living room. She couldn¡¯t continue living in Mrs grace house after she died. It held bad memories. She had left it in the hands of a caretaker and all the workers had relocated to the new mansion she bought. She had a separate ount, where she kept all the money from the men sheid with. She used it in many projects for the poor masses. Being poor is like some sort of disease. She smiled at the few maids in the living room and make her out of the mansion


    Bill leaned against the white sports car with a cigarette stick dangling between his lips. He straightened up when Selene walks out, looking irresistible in the dress she wore. He remembered that night vividly. The feel of him in Selene. The way she handled him and rode him to the best orgasms he¡¯s ever experienced. Since then he¡¯s always looked forward to another night with her. Kept hoping that one day she¡¯d let him have her again.


    ¡°Are you gonna let me in or you¡¯re just gonna keep staring¡± Selene smirks as she stood in front of bill.


    ¡°Sorry Selene¡­. I just got carried away¡± His eyes held lust as he opens the backdoor for her to get in. He was the kind of guy that thinks about a lot of things. And as he got into the driving seat and ignite the engine, he wondered if there was anyone who¡¯d see Selene and won¡¯t get wild thoughts in his head.


    ¡­


    ¡°Thanks Bill¡± Selene smiles as she got out of the car. The ride had taken an hour and he kept herpany all through. Bill nods and shut the door close.


    ¡°I don¡¯t really like you apanying me whenever I¡¯m going on a date but I¡¯d let you drive me home today. I may be wasted then¡± He nods as she turned to walk into the lobby of the hotel. No doubt the exterior of the hotel meant it was a rich guy she was going to see. He got into the car, trying to keep out the annoyance he felt.


    Selene punches the button for the penthouse as the elevator door shuts and begin to ride up. Unfortunately she¡¯s been thinking a lot about the guy she metst night. Zachary Campbell had better be ready, she¡¯s got a big surpriseing his way.


    The elevator dings as it slides open and she step out. She walked towards the only door avable on the hallway. Her date is obviously a rich one. She turns the door knob and walks in without knocking. Her eyes stop on the figure standing at the ss walls with smoke from the cuban cigar he held. He turns almost immediately and the color drained out of her face as she stared at him.


    ¡°Hi Selene¡± He grins sheepishly. She clutched her purse tighter. She knew this grin, knew she¡¯d never forget the eyes of one of the men who had raped her, took her virginity and made her this way. She looked away, as the tears came¡­ blurring her vision.

 CHAPTER 12

    ¡°Are you alright?¡± He says as the smile leaves his face. He walks towards selene but she step sideways and ambled to therge aquarium against the wall. She tried to bite back the tears but they slid down her cheeks. Dammit not now!.


    ¡°I hate to see my date smoking, it kinda irritates me¡­ Could you discard that?¡± she voice out.


    ¡°oh!¡­ sure sexy but i find it normal¡±. She hear him walk out and she uses that chance to regain herposure. She wipe off her tears and sniff back the pending tears. He¡¯s not gonna see her cry¡­ never!


    Hees in and selene turns to meet his gaze.


    ¡°What do you care for sexy?¡±he asks as he walks to arge cab.


    ¡°Vodka¡±. She walked to a single couch and lower her butt on it. Fate is a cute thing, leading her to one of the guys who hurt her.


    Gosh!, the things she¡¯s gonna do to him!. He¡¯s gonna cry like a kid who¡¯s been denied christmas present. Beg for mercy till his voice shook. He returns and hand her a ss as he sit across her. She look down her drink, wondering if he probably slipped some pills into it.


    Selene sighs and sets the drink on a fancy ss table.


    ¡°you¡¯re sexy Selene¡±. He grins showing off a silver tooth. She smile back and nod. He barely even recognised her. The things money could do. Once she was this poor girl with no one in the world. Now here she was, sitting across a wealthy dickhead with all the money she could ever get.


    ¡°Nice ce you¡¯ve got¡­ must have cost a lot¡± Shepliment as she take in the expensive interior of the ensuite. The ss wall fittings and thick blue drapes said it all. He¡¯s a rich fucker.


    ¡°I¡¯m d you love it Selene¡± He smirks and she gives him a stic smile. She crosses her leg and the gown slides up her thighs, making him stare lustfully at her slender legs. Selene chuckled inwardly. Stare all you want asshole¡­ cos there aren¡¯t any sexy girl In hell.


    ¡°So what do you basically do to earn your cash mister?¡± She return her gaze to him.


    ¡°I¡¯m a transporter. I own a fairlyrge fleet of ships and I¡¯ve got a yatch for leisure. She¡¯s beautiful and sails well¡­ we could cruise on her if you want¡± The leer smile on his face almost made her gag.


    ¡°That sounds adventurous mister¡­. and I love adventures¡± Venomced her voice and she restrained herself from smashing the wine ss against his face.


    ¡°That makes us a pair Selene¡­ I love adventures¡­ and exploring too¡± He ran his tongue across his lower lip as his bulge began to harden at his wild thoughts


    ¡°What do you want from me then¡± She clutched her purse to push down the anger and hate bubbling inside of her.


    ¡°That¡¯s a good question Selene¡­ I want you as my mistress¡­ I know you¡¯ve got the cash¡­ but being my mistress would make you be at the top, we would rule together Selene, you need a male by your side¡­ and I¡¯m the only one who could give you that¡± He gets off the chair and walk towards her. Squatting in front of her, he ran his fingers down her bare thighs. Memories shed before her eyes. She remembered the way he touched her, bruising her skin with his hands and mouth.


    Selene chuckles and shrug away from his touch.


    ¡°So what to you say Selene?¡± He rasped, wishing he could plunge into her already.


    ¡°You know what¡­ I think you¡¯re perfectly right. I need you¡± She gives him a watery smile and he smirks, excitement bubbling inside of him.


    ¡°But¡­ I¡¯ve gotta warn you, you¡¯d get hurt in the process¡± She bites down her lip and he grins.


    ¡°I love that Selene¡­..¡± He kisses her bare thighs as Selene gently shove him away.


    ¡°Not so fast.. boy¡­.¡± She gets off the couch and move away from him.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    ¡°I need to get prepared¡­. we would meet tonight at eight¡­. I¡¯d love to see your yatch¡­ we could meet there tonight¡­ yes?¡± She grins and he nods.


    ¡°Perfect Selene¡­ I¡¯d text you the address¡­ i can¡¯t wait for tonight¡± He run his palm down his cks and she nods.


    ¡°Me too¡­ tonight is gonna be fun, don¡¯t be a secondte will you?¡± She walks to him and kissed him lightly on the lips before withdrawing immediately. That single action made his length harden. Selene blinks back the tears pooling in her eyes as she walked out of the ensuite.


    She took the elevator down and walked out of the lobby to her car. Bill gets out of the car as she approached him.


    ¡°That was a quick date Selene¡± He arched his brows at her angry features.


    ¡°Are you okay?¡± He asked in concern as he held the passenger door open for her. She shut it close and turned to him.


    ¡°Take a cab home Bill¡­. I¡¯m staying outte tonight¡± She run her hands through her hair as she gets into the driving seat.


    ¡°Huh!?¡± He asks in surprise. Selene needs to stop herte outings¡­ Miami is a busy city, she might get hurt.


    ¡°You heard me Bill¡­ no arguments okay?¡± She shuts the door and ignite the engine as Bill cusses under his breath. Hell!. She pushes a button and the sunroof folds out.


    Bye Bill¡­ be a good boy¡± She gave him a small smirk before stepping on the gas, with one ce on her mind.


    ¡ã¡ã¡ã¡ã¡ã


    Wayne sat at the desk in his cubicle as he types. His mind wandered. For some reasons he couldn¡¯t shake offst night incidence. Selene flirting openly. He¡¯s got to admit she¡¯s got nerves. There was something about her amber coloured eyes, maybe it was the dim lightings from the chandeliers, or just his own vague perception of her, but it felt like there were some sort of hidden stories she wasn¡¯t telling. She was beautiful and he barely had been able to control himself. Sometimes he wondered if he was right to hate her. He¡¯s got this feeling that behind that brave aura she put on, there was this vulnerable side of her. Maybe it was just instincts or his gut feeling. He stops typing and leans back on his seat, absently raking his hands at his hair as he remembers Zach. He had a small cubicle beside Zach¡¯s office.


    Zach has been unbearably quiet ever sincest night incidence, withdrawn and has been stuck in his office since he arrived. He¡¯s being feeling kind of guilty, but there was little he could do. The elevator slides open as Wayne looks up from the rim of hisptop. The strong scent of cologne hits his nose as he stared at thedy who walked in. Her red hair and curvy figure d in expensive dress said it all, Stacey¡­ hell! not now!.


    ¡°Good day ma¡¯am¡± Wayne greets as she walks towards him. Stacey doesn¡¯t reply as her eyes trailed down Wayne build. He¡¯s always hot and sexy, reasons she¡¯s never gonna stop hitting on him. She¡¯s been out of the country for months now, and although she¡¯s had a couple of flings, Wayne has always been on her mind. She¡¯s always wished to have him to herself. He¡¯s got looks that could make anydy go crazy¡­ and hell!, she wasn¡¯t excluded.


    ¡°Wayne¡± She drawls huskily stopping in front of his desk.


    ¡°I¡¯ve missed you¡­ Sent you tons of messages and called frequently, you never picked up any of my calls or replied my texts¡­. that ain¡¯t how to treat ady you know¡± She pouts, flipping her hair to her back. Wayne growls lowly as he stared at her. She¡¯s way older than him for fuck sake.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry ma¡¯am¡­ I¡¯ve been awfully busy¡­ Zach¡¯s in the office¡­ I¡¯d just inform him you¡¯re here¡±. He voice out¡­ clearly avoiding any further conversation.


    ¡°Come on Wayne¡­ quit the formalities¡± She leans forward and gently pulls him down as he tries to get off his seat.


    ¡°What do you want Wayne. I¡¯ve got the body¡­ I¡¯m freaking wealthy¡­ what can I do to make you mine huh?.. You¡¯re making me crazy already you know¡± Her eyes cloud in lust as she trail her hand against his shirt. Wayne pushes his seat backwards and sighs.


    ¡°I already told you ma¡¯am¡­ I¡¯m not interested. I¡¯d love you to abort whatever thoughts you¡¯re having¡­ or I¡¯d do so¡± He red at her clearly pissed. She straightens up, running her fingers through her hair. Even though he¡¯s angry, he looks hotter while at it. Fuck!


    ¡°I¡¯d give it a thought Wayne¡± She bites down her lips and smirks, walking to a couch to wait. Wayne rolls his eyes as he gets off the chair and punches the code to Zach¡¯s office. He peeks his head in and stares at Zach who looks lost as he stared at his phone, a cigarette stick stuck between his lips. He looks up and his eyes are bloodshot. Wayne steps in fully and shut the door behind. He walks over to him and takes the pack of cigarettes on the desk, tossing it into a trash bag.


    ¡°Boss!¡± Wayne calls through clenched teeth. ¡°You¡¯re going crazy and you know it!..¡± A pile of filesy on his table¡­. untouched. He hasn¡¯t attended to any of his appointment all day!. Zach¡¯s gotta be careful or he¡¯s gonna get tangled in business issues.


    ¡°I know Wayne¡­ she¡¯s driving me crazy¡± Zach mutters lowly¡­ staring at Selene¡¯s picture disyed on the phone. Fuck this is crazy!.


    ¡°It¡¯s obvious she¡¯s not interested in you boss .. why don¡¯t you drop it already¡± Zach shakes his head.


    ¡°She is Wayne ¡­ she sent me a text¡­ wants me to reschedule another date with her¡­ I¡¯m too hurt to reply¡± He sighs and drops the phone, raking his hand at his hair. Wayne goes quiet. Why the heck does she wanna go out with him again¡­. Zach can¡¯t take another dose of embarrassment.


    ¡°Do you wanna go?¡± Wayne folds his arm, staring down at him. Zach smiles and shrugs.


    ¡°I do Wayne¡­ but I¡¯m just so confused¡± His voice shook, as he massages his temple. Wayne sighs feeling bad about his state.


    ¡°Boss¡­ we could talk about thister¡­ but right now an important client is here¡­ Stacey¡± Zach loos up at him.


    ¡°Stacey is already back in the country?¡± Wayne nods, grateful for the distraction.


    ¡°Yeah boss¡­ and you might need to freshen up¡­ you look wasted¡± He rolls his eyes at him. Zach chuckles and push to his feet.


    ¡°Alright Wayne¡­ thanks¡± He pats him on the shoulder and ambles to the adjoining bathroom. Wayne sighs and begins to clear out the messy ashtray on his desk.


    ****


    ¡°How much does this cost¡± Selene asks the tatted man behind the counter. Different ammunitions ranging from revolvers, riffles, cartridges and hostlers adorn the wall behind him. And his partner, a huge guy with brown locks was smoking a cigar. Selene look down at the revolver she bought illegally.


    She knew Miami like the back of her palm. When she got out of the orphanage, she took the streets, finding menial jobs to keep body and soul together. She was smart too and knew of where to go and where not to go. She knew of the many illegal business and their location. Gun smuggling was one of them.


    ¡°That¡¯s a lot it¡¯s got a silencer attached too¡­. that baby is new¡­ sure you can afford it?¡± He says as he looked down at her. She rolls her eyes and brought out a thick wad of dor bills from her bag. She mmed it down the counter.


    ¡°Here you go¡­ keep change¡± She smirked as they gape at her. Obviously it was fuckin much.


    Thanks for this ma¡¯am¡± His partner grins as he slides the cash to himself. Selene smiles as she picks up the gun. It actually weighs heavier than it seems.


    ¡°There¡¯s a manual booklet on how to use too¡± The tatted one slides a small booklet across her. Selene chuckles and wrap her finger around the trigger, pointing it at him. She cocks her head and grinned. The tatted one shifts on his feet.


    ¡°It¡¯s loaded¡± He says calmly and she snickered.


    ¡°I don¡¯t think I need the booklet¡­ action series has always being my best genre¡± She smirked at their surprised faces. If they knew she was Selene, they showed no signs of it.


    ¡°Thanks boys¡± She says and shoves it inside her bag, before striding out of the stuffy room in the abandoned warehouse. She brings out her phone as it dings, she swiped at the screen as she stared at the address he sent to her. Good boy. She got out of the warehouse and slides into the driving seat. She throws her phone on the dashboard and ignite the engine. Her hands felt mmy as she gripped the steering. She drives out, sucking in her breath momentarily to push down whatever emotions was building up her chest.


    Fortunately she wasn¡¯t so far from the dock. Selene reaches for the pack of cigarettes on the dashboard, she lits a stick and mp it between her teeth. He better be prepared for her. She scowls and puffs out smoke as she steps on the gas.

 CHAPTER 13

    Pulling over an hourter at the dockside she stared ahead at the boathouse where they were to meet up. Its actually a one storeyed building and a huge balcony overlooking the sea water. She pulled out her mirrorpact and began to touch up. Smearing a fiery red lipgloss on her lips and a smoky ck eyeliner, she run a brush through her ck curls and hold it up in a low ponytail. Satisfied with her look, she gets out of the car, mming the door shut. The chilly night air hits her skin, ruffling her hair in the process. Her heels dug into the sand as she makes her way to the boathouse.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    She climbs up the porch, and punches the doorbell button. The door open almost immediately to reveal his bulky frame d in a ck dress shirt and white cks. Selene keeps the scowl out of her face and forces a smile.


    ¡°You look so fuckin hot¡± He grins sheepishly trailing his gaze down her figure. She brush past him and he shuts the door.


    ¡°Yeah cutie¡­ I know¡­ nice boathouse by the way¡± Shepliments as she walks to a single sofa to sit.


    ¡°I¡¯m d you love it¡± He says and sits across her.


    ¡°Have you brought any guard with you¡­ I wouldn¡¯t want them to hear our loud moans you know¡± She ces her bag on her thighs, her heartbeat running wild with anger. He shakes his head and slowly unbuttons his shirt.


    ¡°I brought none Selene¡± He tosses the shirt wherever as he stood, crossing over to Selene and pulling her up. Selene shivered, for a moment she felt like the vunerable girl she once was, the one he raped. He grabbed her ass and crash his lips roughly on hers. Selene sucks in her breath as he squeezed at her ass, feeling his bulge pressed against the silky gown she wore. She breaks the kiss and pull away. His eyes held raw lust.


    ¡°Take it slow bad boy¡­. I love to be in charge..¡± She winks and jab her thumb to the spiral staircase leading to the upper floor.


    ¡°Get into your room and strip off till I see how big you are.. I¡¯d join you soon¡±. she shoves him towards the staircase as he grins and obeyed her meekly. She watch him as he leaves before running her fingers through her hair in anger.


    ¡°Fuckin asswipe!¡± She grits and walk back to the couch. She pick up her handbag and follow him up the stairs. A short hallway leads to an open door. She walks in and he was all bare as he sat at the kingside bed. She dropped her bag on the nightstand and begin to strip off her clothes. This was the bedroom with the huge balcony. it would make things lot more easier for her. Tears burned the back of her eyes as she zips down the gown. It falls to the floor and she step out of it. A huge smile appears on his face as he feasted his eyes on her sexy figure d in a stringy pantie andcy bra. She kicked off her heels and loosen her hair band and it cascades down her back.


    ¡°Good thing the bed has got poles¡± She says with a grin.


    ¡°I¡¯m ¡®gon tie you up like the bad boy you are¡­ and ride on you like never before¡± She smirks and he run his tongue across his lower lips. She opens the handbag and brings out two thin strips of rope she bought while going to the warehouse.


    ¡°That¡¯s badass you know¡± He says huskily. She nods and climbs up on the bed. She push him down and straddles him. She ties his wrist to the poles, making sure it was properly done. She smiled in satisfaction and giggled lowly.


    ¡°Now you look like one of the thieves ether side of Jesus¡± He chuckled and she grins at him. Await your death asshole!.


    ¡°Now let¡¯s get to business¡± She winked and leans down, without hesitating a second, she kisses him fiercely, running her palm down his bare chest. He groans as she teased him with her tongue. She trail the kisses slowly down his chest as his hand tightened around the rope bounding his wrists. Warmth sipped down his length as his length hardened with pleasure.


    ¡°Come on Selene, pull off those panties and plunge into me already¡± He says through clenched teeth. He was totally helpless as his hands was tied.


    ¡°Not so soon boy¡­¡± She raise her head up and reaches for her handbag. Pulling out the revolver she watched him go white with shock.


    ¡°Sel¡­ Selene¡­ what the heck are you doing¡± He blurt out as his palm tightens around the ropes bounded to his wrists.


    ¡°Shush baby..¡± She lean down and run her fingers through his hair. Her finger wraps around the trigger and she trail the nuzzle down his chest slowly.


    ¡°Too bad you don¡¯t recognize me¡± She sighed and nted a kiss on his chest. He shivered watching her every move. Maybe it wasn¡¯t loaded¡­ and this was her own way of having fun before sex.


    ¡°You love to club huh?¡± Her dark gaze returns to him and they are filled with anger.


    ¡°Yeah¡­ I .. do Selene¡± She chuckled and nod slowly.


    ¡°About a month ago¡­ you visited a club¡­ then you saw this very cute girl. She was alone you know¡­ and your little self wanted to bed her right?¡± He arch his brows at her but doesn¡¯t reply.


    ¡°I guess she refused¡­ she was the good girl¡­ didn¡¯t wanna get involved in bad stuffs. But you were hell-bent on wanting to taste her¡­ then you found another means to have her¡± Tears blurred her vision and he looked pale in the face.


    ¡°So¡­ you raped her alongside a couple of others with the same aim as yours¡­ in one of the abandoned guestroom in the club¡± She smiled at him. Perspiration broke out on his bare chest.


    ¡°I don¡¯t what the fuck you talking about Selene!¡± His voice shook and she clenched her teeth, hitting him squarehard across the face with the butt of the gun.


    ¡°Fuck!¡± He yells as his head hung lip at the impact. He spat out blood as he stared at Selene.


    ¡°Does that help you remember¡­ huh?¡± She arched a brow as he struggled against the ropes.


    ¡°You took turns in toturing her¡­ poor little girl¡± She bites her lip and he cusses.


    ¡°How is it your shit you huh!¡­ damn it Selene how the heck did you know¡± She chuckled and shrugs.


    ¡°Poor boy¡­. money is cute¡­ too bad you can¡¯t recognize the girl you raped over a month ago¡±She watch his expression turn sour and the next thing he was cackling. Selene watched him as heughed. Anger washing over her in huge waves.


    ¡°Cut the crap Selene¡­ She¡¯s fuckin dead¡­ I in thepany of my two closest pals, fucked her freaking good untill she was bruised up and unconscious. We shot her Selene¡­ and dumped her freaking body in a dumpsite¡­. She can¡¯t survive that! ¡± The tears slid down her cheeks at his words.


    ¡°You asshole¡± She say through clenched it and punched him across the face. He sucked in a breath as she dealt him another blow.


    ¡°Shit!¡± He groans as she continued hitting him on the face. He cried out and tosses on the bed, using his legs to push Selene off him.


    ¡°I¡¯m gonna do to you what you did to me asshole!¡± She cussed and stands beside him on the bed. She holds the gun in front of her and wrap a finger around it, aiming for his thighs.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you fuckin dare selene!¡± He grits out as she pull the trigger. The bullet buried deep in his thigh as blood seeped out. Good thing there was a silencer. There was a brief pause before his screams rang out. She opens the nightstand drawer as his screams mixed with curses and filled the entire room. She pulled out a notepad, tore out several sheets from it and stuffed it into his mouth.


    ¡°Shush boy¡­ momma¡¯s home¡±. She pats his cheeks as his groans was muffled now. She pulls a chair and sits next to him.


    ¡°Does it hurt?¡± She faked a concerned face as she watched his face. Eyes bloodshot and his white face all read from pain. She raise the gun to her lips and kissed the nuzzle. She ced it on the nightstand and picks up his phone. She swiped at the screen and smiles to herself. Thankfully it was his business phone.


    ¡°You¡¯re pretty smart you know¡­ what are the names of your two other pals¡­ I¡¯d like to say Hi to them some day¡± She snickered. His cheeks bulge out as his groans subsided and is reced with ragged shallow breathing. No matter how the tried to tug at the ropes it wouldn¡¯t budge. He shut his eyes at the searing pain. His body was all sweaty now.


    ¡°You reply when I ask a question you fuckin cunt¡± She press her palm down on the bullet wound as his muffled groans rang out. He shakes his head vigorously.


    ¡°Good boy¡± She stopped her assault and gently takes the stuffed papers out of his mouth. He breathes out immediately.


    ¡°I¡¯m freaking rich Selene¡­ what the fuck do you want¡­ name your price and I¡¯d pay!¡± His eyes were pleading and she rolls her eyes and picks the gun up again.


    ¡°I wouldn¡¯t ask again¡± Her voice was cold and he shivered from fear as he mumbled the names. She smiled as she search for it on his contact. She nods in satisfaction when it pops out.


    ¡°So¡­ what¡¯s the code to your savings mister¡± She smirked at him and he hung his head, staring at the pool of blood on the duvet.


    ¡°Come on boy¡­ I might be lenient and let you go you know¡± She says sarcastically. She wasn¡¯t in the mood to use her powers. She wanted him to go through the same toture she went through. His breathing bes shallow as he mumbled the code too. She logs into the credit card details and nods her head at the huge amount of money in his savings. She took her time, transferring all the cash to a separate ount. It was littlepared to what he did to her. She drops the phone back on the nightstand, already feeling exhausted.


    ¡°Would you like to swim¡± She smiled down at him and jab her thumb to the balcony.


    ¡°Cos I¡¯m gonna toss your body out of the balcony¡­ I bet you¡¯d love it¡­¡± She grinned and gets off the chair. His low groans mixed with pleading as she stuffed papers back into his mouth. He could barely shed a tear.


    ¡°Now I¡¯d give your second thigh a real good shot¡± She aim at him as he thrashed about, she pulled the trigger as his growls rang out again. He pulled at the ropes weakly, and soon his groans turn into waiings.


    ¡°Chill bad boy¡­ you¡¯re still gon swim you know¡± She snickered and lean down, stroking his sweaty temple.


    She press the nuzzle just above his limp length. He stared at it shaking his head and struggling wildly.


    ¡°No!¡± He blurt out the words, trying to spit out the papers. Selene shuts her eyes and flutters it open. She bites back her tears as she stared at him.


    ¡°Tell the devil I said Hi¡± She whispered and pulled the hammer¡­

 CHAPTER 14

    Selene stares at him as blood spurted out. He goes silent as the excruciating pain threatened to rip him apart. The duvet was a bloody mess¡­ same as Selene palms. She blinks and drops the revolver on the duvet. He stared at her, and parted his mouth in shallow breathing. His gonna be dead soon. He won¡¯t ever go out on expensive crusies and won¡¯t club anymore. No more would he have girls almost every night and when he pleases. She untied his wrists and it fell limply to his sides. He didn¡¯t recognize the girl. Hell he has done that to a lot of girls. He struggled to keep his eyes open.. struggled to stay alive, but it seemed impossible. Breath was gradually failing him. Maybe it was his punishment for all the things he¡¯s done. He was barely aware of selene. The next thing he felt was the duvet slowly covering him, wrapping around him alongside the revolver. The only thing he heard was her ragged tired breathing. He felt her hand slip under his back and she lifted him up. He felt dizzy, air rushing into the bullet wound and choking him. Soon he was staggering on his feet. He shut his eyes gradually giving in to death.


    Selene hands hurt as she she struggled to pull him towards the balcony. Blood trickled down as it created a mess on the floorboards. Her head throbbed like crazy, the metallic smell of blood fills the room, as she bite down the overwhelming urge to puke. She suck in her breath as she got to the waist length railings. Shivers run down her spine as she takes her arm off him and shoves him forward. He lurched forward and tumbled out. The fluffy white duvet streaked with blood goes down with his weight and finally falls into the water with a huge ssh.


    ¡°Goodnight¡± Selene whispered wearily as she stared down at the blue inky water. She run her fingers through her tangled locks already feeling lightheaded. She turned to stare at the blood that trailed down from the bed to the balcony.


    In as much as she seeked revenge, she couldn¡¯t bear the thought of the cops having to swarm the entire boathouse looking for evidences that led to his murder. She¡¯d just have to clean up. She walked to the nightstand and picked up his phone, scrolling through his contact she searched for the names of his two friends. She punched the numbers into her phone and walked back to the balcony. She tossed it down before striding to the ensuite bathroom to clean up the bloody mess on the floor.


    Soon she was done cleaning, making sure everything was back in order before walking out of the boathouse. She slipped into her car and headed to the one ce she needed right now¡­ a club.


    ????


    ¡°Morning Wayne¡± Fiona greets as he walks into the kitchen.


    ¡°Hey little one¡± Wayne says gruffly as he sits on a stool. She chuckled, pouring coffee into a mug and sliding it across him.


    ¡°ck, just like you love it¡± She smirks.


    ¡°Thanks sister¡± He rolls his eyes as he takes a sip.


    ¡°Mom waited for you to arrive yesternight. So did I but it felt like you were taking forever¡± Wayne sighs lowly.


    ¡°I had to spend time with Zach at his ce¡± He run his palm down his face ¡°And we talked for a while¡± He added taking a gulp from his coffee . Fiona shrugs and sets her mug of tea on the counter.


    ¡°You seem really worried brother¡­ what¡¯s the issue¡± She asked worriedly. Jeez! could it be he¡¯s working extra hours so he could pay her college fees!.


    ¡°It¡¯s Zach¡­ he seems particrly obsessed about Selene¡­ we talkedst night but I can bet on myst penny he doesn¡¯t wanna back off¡± He says, exasperated. Fiona widen her eyes before giggling.


    ¡°Yeah wayne¡­ Selene has always been irresistible¡± She conceded and winks. Wayne groans internally.


    ¡°What do you find so fascinating about her¡­ she¡¯s causing unhealthy stirs in Miami and hell!.. I bet a thousand homes might be in chaos because of her¡± He huffed and she chortled loudly.


    ¡°Really brother I don¡¯t think its her fault. Those dweebs aren¡¯t responsible and its not her fault they can¡¯t keep their minds off her. Besides a lot ofdies love her. She¡¯s generous and nice too¡± She shrugs a shoulder and drained the contents of her cup before sliding off the stool. She drops the cup in the sink and turns to meet Wayne thoughtful gaze.


    ¡°Do you like her¡± Fiona smirks and he scoffs.


    ¡°Hell no Fiona!, I do hope we don¡¯t cross parts anymore¡±.! Sometimes he wondered if he meant that. That brief meeting they had made him wonder if he¡¯d love to see her again.


    ¡°Hmm¡­ you zoned out already mister. Anyways, if you happen to find out you have feelings for her, voice it out brother and trust me I¡¯d help¡± She grins and flip her hair dramatically. Wayne chuckles and gets off the stool.


    ¡°You¡¯ve been watching too much off romance Fiona.. and its making you have silly thoughts¡­ I¡¯d just go prepare for work¡± He rolls his eyes and amble out of the kitchen as sheughs.


    Selene stared at herself in the mirror as she brushes. She run a wet palm down her hair and sighs. Lately she¡¯s beening home drunk and wasted. She really doesn¡¯t want to have a bad impression on the workers. She rinse her mouth and itches her hair. Jeez¡­ she needs a beauty care routine. It¡¯s been long she visited the spa. She drops the brush in its holder and turns on the faucet to fill the bathtub. She really wasn¡¯t supposed to be doing this, obviously the work of her maids. But she loves to spend time alone. It was the onlyfort she had. Though she had Bill who was always there, she felt morefortable alone.


    Stripping off her nighties, she slipped into the bathub and submerged herself fully into the water. She smiled as she remembered those times she spent in the orphanage. Though she never had any friend she loved to swim and could stay under water longer than anyone her age. She raised her head out of the water as she remembered the guy she drowned yesternight. He didn¡¯t look like one who wouldst long under water. She sighed and begins to rubther against her skin. A smirk tugs at her lips and she remembered Zachary Campbell and his hot piece of eye candy secretary. Heaven knows she hasn¡¯t stopped thinking of him. The embarrassment he caused her that night was totally unexpected. Fuck whatever hard to get game he¡¯s trying to y. She¡¯s gonna get hime what may, and she¡¯d see just how well he would resist her.


    She steps out of the bathtub and wrap a towel around her frame. She walks out and opens her closet, staring at the expensive dresses and rows of perfect glittery stilettos. She riffled through and selected afortable suit pants and a white creamy top. She was visiting the rest of thepanies in Miami to see how well they are running its affairs. The one thing she¡¯d never do is taking her work for granted. She¡¯s passed through a lot quite alright and she¡¯d do all she can to make sure she¡¯s never broke again. Selene sits at her makeup table and blows dry her hair. She brushes it down and curl the edges till they are bouncy. Her phone dings and she picks it up. Ignoring the tons of messages popping on her screen she searched for Zachary Campbell.


    A frown creases her brows as stared at the message she sent.


    ¡°Hell¡­ he hasn¡¯t texted back!¡± She bit her lips in anger.


    ¡°ying hard to get like your green eyed secretary huh¡± She mutter lowly as she stared at his name. She pushed back her chair and checks herself out in the mirror. She typed his name on the again and after staring at his information, she hits down hispany address. She chuckled and bite down her lips. Good thing it¡¯s a Saturday.


    ¡°You¡¯ve got a huge surpriseing your way sugar¡± She walked back to the bed and slipped her feet into a pair of ts. She picked up her ck pearl purse and turned to walk out. She stop in her tracks as she stared at bill watching her from the doorway. She cuss under her breath, not entirely ready for Bill lectures on her drunken statest night.


    *****


    ¡°I¡¯m d you were able toe to a amicable agreement Mr Campbell¡± The short beady eyed man sitting across Zach says.


    ¡°The pleasure is mine Mr Leo¡­ I¡¯d schedule another meeting with you probably a lunch date and we¡¯d talk extensively on the business deal¡­ if that¡¯s fine by you¡± Zach leans back into his seat and the man nods in agreement.


    ¡°It¡¯s perfect Zach¡­ Have a wonderful day ahead¡± He gets off the swivel as they shake hands. He walks out of the office and Zach puffs out tiredly. Sleeplessness and constant smoking and thinking has been his order of the day. He never knew he¡¯d be obsessed over ady . He¡¯s always been the fuck and pass kind of guy.


    Stacey had been hisst mpiece before she left Florida. Now she¡¯s back, he seems to fancy Selene and from the look of things she¡¯s into Wayne.. good riddance anyways. A knock at the door jolts him from his thoughts. Wayne steps in and shuts the door close.


    ¡°Morning boss¡­. You have a board meeting in about ten minutes¡± Zach archs his brows.


    ¡°Why wasn¡¯t I informed earlier then?¡± He asks tiredly.


    ¡°All the files were on your desk boss.. you were informed two days ago¡± Wayne stared at him in pity. Zach threads his fingers into his hair in embarrassment.


    ¡°Oh¡­ umm¡­. alright Wayne thanks. I¡¯d be down in ten minutes¡± Wayne nods and turns to leave when he heardmotion outside the door. Wayne archs his brows at Zach and opens the door. A flustered brte walks in.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry boss but she wouldn¡¯t listen when I told her you heard a tight schedule today¡± She steps sideways as Selene steps in.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    Zach looked lost as he stared at her. He gulped down nothing wondering for a splitting moment if she was here for him¡­ or Wayne. Wayne locks gaze with Selene. A small smile tug at her lips as she stared at him. Her dark hair was down. it looked damn soft. The fresh scent of her cologne hits his nose. She was damn gorgeous. The brte seeing zach is fine with her prescence scurries out of the office. Wayne breaks the stare and turns to look at Zach. Selene smirks and brush past him. She sits across Zach.


    ¡°Hi Zachary¡± Selene smirks as she entwined her fingers. Zach looks behind her in excitement to stare at Wayne. Wayne gets the message and turns to walk out. He wondered if he¡¯s d she paid no attention to him. He walks out but stops with his hand on the knob. He did what he never thought he¡¯d do, eavesdropping. Her voice filtered towards him, as a huge feeling of dej¨¤ vu settling in his guts.


    ¡°Hey sugar¡­ we¡¯ve got business¡±..

 CHAPTER 15

    ¡°Could we possibly eat out so we could talk?¡± Selene asks Zach who looks dumbfounded. He nods almost immediately.


    ¡°Uh.. alright Selene, give me a second¡­ I¡¯d just go freshen up¡± He gets off the chair and strides hastily to the bathroom. Selene smirks inwardly as Wayne shuts the door quietly. He run his finger down his hair and sighs. Zach needs to be careful or he might get into a huge mess with Selene.


    ****


    ¡°I love the suite sugar¡­ you¡¯ve got nice taste for stuffs like this¡± Selene says truthfully as she lean on the railings and look down at the busy city. Zach is a cool guy she could tell from the way he stared at her. Surely he wanna bed her but he looks like someone who wants more than just sex, probably a rtionship. godammit!.


    ¡°Thanks Selene¡­¡± Zach smiles as he hands her a ss of cocktail. He never believed Selene woulde to his office. Hell, he never believed she¡¯d propose to go out on a date with him too. He stands beside her and watch her sip her drink. She turns to look at him as she gives him a small smile. There and then he wished he could cup her face and kiss her plump looking lips.


    ¡°So sugar did you n on leaving my text unanswered?¡± She stared right at him and he chuckles.


    ¡°Hell no Selene!. I never stopped thinking about you. I was a bit embarrassed about that night¡¯s incidence. I think I needed courage to face you once more¡± He sip at his drink and Selene shrugs and a short silence follows.


    ¡°Your secretary¡­ what¡¯s his name¡± Selene asks as she bite down her lip, remembering how surprised he had looked on seeing her. Seeing him again had made goose bumps creep up her skin and had made her want him all the more. Only that she wanted something more intense than lust. Zach itches his head, slightly annoyed at the change of topic.


    ¡°His name is Wayne¡­ Wayne Anderson¡± He voice out and she nods. Wayne¡­ sounds cute. She walk back into the living room as Zach trailed behind her. She sets the empty ss on the table and turns to meet Zach gaze. She ambled towards him and wrapped her arms around his neck.


    ¡°So sugar¡­. What do you want from me¡± She tilt her head as she stared right at him seductively. Zach wraps his arm around her tiny waist as his breathing goes ragged.


    ¡°I want you Selene¡± He says huskily. She smirks and thread her fingers in his hair.


    ¡°Are you ready to give in to whatever request I make?¡± She says lowly.


    ¡°Anything Selene¡­. anything¡­ so long as I have you¡± He dips his head as he kisses her. Selene smirks inwardly as he lifts her up. She curls her legs around him as she kissed back. Zach groans in pleasure as he walks to the bedroom, his lips not leaving hers. She giggles against his mouth as he slowly drops her on the bed.


    ¡°Let me ruin you sugar¡­ I¡¯d ride on you instead¡± She smirks as Zach takes off his shirt and cks till he was d in his boxer briefs. Selene sucks on her lower lips as Zach resumes kissing her. He flipped her till she was straddling him. Selene smirked and takes off her shirt. Now she¡¯s gotten Zach, and that¡¯s all it¡¯s gonna take to have Wayne.


    ¡°I¡¯m gonna ride you to the heavens sugar¡± She smirked as she slide her palm into his boxer briefs. She giggled at the dark look he gives her when her fingers curl around his hardened length.


    ***


    Selene leans against the headboard and pulled the duvet to cover her nude self. She run her hand to tame her tangled locks of hair as she watched Zach sleep beside her. His loud snores a reminder of how tired he was. She chuckled and swung her legs out of the bed. She stride to the cab, clutching the duvet to herself as she pour herself a ss of non alcoholic drink. He¡¯s freaking good but as usual she couldn¡¯t moan. She wasn¡¯t doing this out of pleasure anyways. She returns back to the bed and puts on her top. She slide her feet into her suit pants. Now she¡¯s gotten Zach. He really couldn¡¯t refuse any of her requests, not after she had used her powers on him.


    Zach groans as he flutter his eyes open. He sits up and stare at Selene staring at him. Beautiful as ever, she was perfect in what she did and hell it was the best sex he¡¯d ever had. He knew he¡¯d never forget this day, and he also knew he¡¯d always beg for more from her.


    ¡°Hey¡± He says tiredly and leans in to kiss her but she shrugs away. Zach sighs and run his hand through his hair. it was normal for somedies to feel cranky after sex.


    ¡°So sugar¡­. I¡¯d make my request now¡± She walk to the makeup table and pick up a brush, running it through her hair. Zach shoves his legs into his boxer briefs and picks up his phone from the nightstand. He stared at the screen. lots of missed calls.. all from Wayne. goddammit. It¡¯s evening already. Selene wraps her hair into a bun and turn to stare at Zach.


    ¡°Whatever you want Selene¡­. I¡¯d do my best to give it to you¡± He couldn¡¯t bear to stay off from her again. He¡¯d do anything to please her.


    ¡°Good to hear. It¡¯s pretty simple. I want Wayne as my secretary¡± She smirk at him as his face turns sour.


    ¡°Huh!??¡­ Wayne¡± He voice out in surprise. Selene strides towards him and hugs herself.


    ¡°Yeah sugar¡­. do all you can to make him work for me¡­ and we are gonna have lots and lots of dates¡± She arch her brows as she stared down at him. Zach chug down his drink. damnit Wayne has been his guard and secretary for so long he¡¯s be used to it. He couldn¡¯t bear the thought of loosing him. He rake his hands at his and stare up at Selene who had a huge smirk on her face. He sighed, knowing he couldn¡¯t refuse her. He just couldn¡¯t.


    ¡°Alright¡­.. though Wayne has been a diligent worker, I¡¯d let him go¡­. just for you¡± He acquiesced. Selene stops herself from smiling and shrugs.


    ¡°I¡¯m counting on you¡­ don¡¯t let me down¡± She takes her pearl purse and slides her feet into her heels.


    ¡°Umm¡­ I¡¯d drop you off¡± He gets off the bed and shrugs on his shirt.


    ¡°Don¡¯t bother¡­ I¡¯m calling my driver¡± She says icily. Zach gives her a quizzical look, wondering why she sounds so cold.


    ¡°Alright Selene¡­ goodnight¡±He conceded but she was striding out of the door already, leaving him with the feminine fragrance of her cologne and a resolve to keep her to himself.


    ****


    Wayne paced to and fro Zach¡¯s office, absently raking his hand at his hair and cussing endlessly. Where the heck has he gone off too. Probably with Selene doing God knows what. Was he that caught up that he couldn¡¯t reply any of his calls?. He shoves his phone down his pant pocket and stride out of the office. Tried as he could, he couldn¡¯t shake off the bad feeling sticking to him like a leach. He takes the elevator for thest for.


    The elevator slides open and he steps out into the noisy lobby. He smiles in greetings at the many workers in office cubicles. His phone rings and he pulls it out to stare at the screen. He cusses as Zach¡¯s contact disys on the screen. He swipes at the answer icon.


    ¡°Boss¡­¡± He says through clenched teeth.


    ¡°Hey Wayne¡­ we need to talk¡± Tirednessces his voice.


    ¡°Alright boss¡­ were should we meet?¡± Wayne hear him sigh lowly.


    ¡°I¡¯d text you the address¡± He replies. He nods and hangs up. What the hell is going on with Zach. His phone dings and he checks the address Zach sent him. He walks out of the building and stop a a cab. He slide in and tells the cabman the address. He leans back into his seat as his mind unconsciously drifts to Selene. Seeing her today had triggered something in him. He wanted to see more of her. Though he hated her personality, seeing her seems to make him forget that


    The car pulls up minutester in front of a club entrance. He steps out and thrust few dor bills at the driver before striding into the club. He finds Zach sitting at the bar and a ss of drink in front of him. He sits on the stool beside him.


    ¡°Evening boss¡± He watches Zach tired face.


    ¡°Wayne ¡­. what would you like to have¡± He asks as he signals to the barman.


    ¡°Tequ¡± He tells the barman who nods and turn to fix his drink.


    ¡°She was beautiful Wayne¡± Zach says as he takes a gulp from his drink. He doesn¡¯t know why but the thought that Zach bedded her makes him angry.


    ¡°I guess you¡¯re really happy now¡­ and you can focus more on work now huh¡± Wayne tries to conceal the anger in his voice. The barman slides the drink towards him and Wayne gives him a thumbs up as he takes a swig. Zach chuckles.Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Damn¡­ work, that¡¯s the reason I called you¡± Wayne sets his drink back on the counter. Thankfully the club wasn¡¯t full yet and the music was low.


    ¡°You won¡¯t be working for me anymore Wayne¡± Zach deadpans. Wayne fingers tighten around the ss.


    ¡°what the fuck do you mean boss!¡± He stared at Zach in disbelief. Zach rakes his hand at his hair and sighs.


    ¡°I¡¯m not firing you Wayne¡­ you¡¯d be working for another person instead¡± Wayne dtes his eyes and he could only think of one person. Selene. Wayne scoffs and shakes his head.


    ¡°Don¡¯t tell me it¡¯s Selene I¡¯m gonna be working for¡± He says through clenched teeth. Zach heaves wearily.


    ¡°That¡¯s the only way I can be with her again Wayne. It¡¯s only if you work for her¡± Wayne growls and pushes the drink aside. What the fuck does she want from him.


    ¡°I warned you boss¡­ she¡¯s too much for you. You¡¯ve been overly obsessed with her and she¡¯s making you go crazy!¡± Wayne grits out in anger.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry Wayne but I can¡¯t just help it. I know I¡¯ve been one big jerk of a boss but I need you one this one¡± Wayne rakes his hand at his hair as he groans. Zach is totally crazy.


    ¡°Hell no boss¡­ that¡¯s not gonna happen. I think you¡¯ve been drinking too much¡­ ¡±


    ¡°¡­ No Wayne!.. for fuck sake I¡¯m not drunk¡± Zach expound struggling to keep the desperation out of his voice.


    ¡°You need to help me on this Wayne¡­ name your pay and I¡¯m ready to double it¡­ ¡± Wayne stared at Zach wondering what happened to him. He missed the old Zach. Who was always joshing him and who flirted with lots of women. Now his whole world seems to revolve around Selene. Wayne chugs down his drink and gets off the stool.


    ¡°I¡¯m not leaving you to work for her boss. She should find another¡­. ¡± He shot Zach an angry look and before he could protest he was striding out of the club. Zach has gone bonkers. And it¡¯s certainly gonna make him loose focus on hispany. His phone rings as he stops on the sidewalks. He brings it out and Fiona name disys on the screen. She barely calls unless it¡¯s important.


    ¡°Hey little one¡± Wayne says with a smile as he answers the call. There was a pause, then a sniffle.


    ¡°Wayne¡­ I¡¯m at the hospital¡­ with Mom¡± Her voice sounds like one who¡¯s been crying.


    ¡°What¡¯s the problem Fiona¡­ is mom okay?¡± He asks in rm.


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid she isn¡¯t¡­ She¡¯s unconscious¡­ and it¡¯s looks bad. I¡¯m so scared¡± Her voice falters and she¡¯s crying. Wayne puffs out a breath, trying to stay calm.


    ¡°Calm down Fiona¡­ I¡¯ming over now¡± He ends the call as he stops a cab. He slides in and shut the door aggressively. Mom¡¯s gotta be strong for him. He couldn¡¯t bear loosing her¡­. and he¡¯d do anything to make sure she¡¯s safe.

 CHAPTER 16

    Wayne pushed through the ss doors that lead into the long hallway of their family hospital. He finds Fiona sitting on the hospital benches with her head hung low. He strides hastily towards her and she looks up at him.


    ¡°Fiona!¡­ how¡¯s Mom!¡± He asks breathlsssly. Fiona sniffles and wipes her cheeks.


    ¡°They wheeled her into the ICU Wayne¡± She mutter tearily. Wayne stares at her, aghast.


    ¡°ICU?.. what the hell happened to her?¡± He blurts out as he sits beside her.


    ¡°I.. I don¡¯t know Wayne. I woke up from my nap and I decided to fix dinner¡­ then I found mom slumped on the kitchen floor unconscious¡­ she had a huge gash on her head and it looked like she was preparing dinner already¡±


    Fiona falters as she sobs quietly. She had shakily dailed 911 when she found her unconscious and barely breathing. She couldn¡¯t bear the thought of loosing mom. It¡¯s gonna kill her. She had barely gotten over her dad¡¯s death. Wayne clenches his teeth and rakes his hand at his hair in exasperation. She had clearly wanted to fix dinner. Probably trying to make up for the things he¡¯s doing. Godammit that¡¯s his responsibility!.


    ¡°I¡¯m fuckin scared brother¡­ I can¡¯t bear the thought of losing her!¡± Fiona sniffles and wipes at her face. Herrge eyes are filled with tears and she¡¯s got a runny nose from too much crying. He puffs out a breath as he watched the few people sitting on the seetes.


    ¡°Come on Fiona¡­ I¡¯m here now, mom¡¯s gonna be okay¡± He pulls her to himself and she lolled against his chest. He¡¯s saved up almost all the cash for her treatment. He hoped whatever happened to her wouldn¡¯t cost much. They stayed that way for a few minutes, absorbing each others warmth, hoping for a positive response from the doctor.


    Minutester, the door to the ICU finally opens and the doctor steps out. Doctor Mac has been their family doctor even before the death of their dad.


    ¡°Evening doctor¡­ how¡¯s she¡± Wayne says andstands as he gets to him. Doctor Mac takes off his sses and sighs.


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid her condition is critical Wayne¡­ from our results, she collided her head against something very hard and it resulted in blood clotting in the brain¡± Fiona gasps as she bolted up from her seat. Wayne shuts his eyes in pain, trying not to loose it.


    ¡°Doc Mac!, is she gonna be fine!, tell me we aren¡¯t gonna lose her please!¡± Fiona rasps as she sobs. He stared at her with a soft gaze. Life could be cruel. He never believed the Anderson family would ever go broke. Once they were freaking rich and generous too. Now with Anderson gone, things seems to have taken a drastic turn.


    ¡°We managed to stable her Wayne. But we need to undergo an operation to drain out the blood¡­ If it prolongs it might lead to acute stroke¡± He deadpans as Fiona ce a palm over her mouth.


    ¡°Doctor Mac.. I¡¯d do anything to save her!¡­ could you carry on with the operation?¡± Tirednessces his voice and doctor Mac nods.


    ¡°Its gonna take a lot of money¡­ and we need half of the cash tomence the operation, two thousand dors precisely¡­¡± He says as Fiona lets out a silent gasp.


    ¡°¡­ Just carry on with the operation doc!¡­ I¡¯de with the cash first thing tomorrow¡± Fiona bites down her lips and wipe at her cheeks. How the heck would Wayne provide two thousand dors before the next day. Even if he does, that¡¯s just half the amount!.


    ¡°Alright Wayne¡­. we¡¯re gonnamence it tomorrow¡­ but you would need to sign some papers before wemence¡± Doc Mac gives him a sad smile and Wayne nods.


    ¡°Take care Wayne¡­ everything would be fine¡± Doc Mac reassures him and he leaves.


    ¡°How are you gonna provide the cash for mom¡¯s surgery Wayne!?¡± Fiona voice out her thoughts. Wayne blew out a breath and sigh.


    ¡°I¡¯d pay half the amount Fiona¡­ then if I don¡¯t have enough cash I¡¯d take a loan okay¡­e on let¡¯s head home¡± Wayne puts his arm around her and they walk out of the hospital together. The idea of taking a loan didn¡¯t sit well with Fiona. She couldn¡¯t afford Wayne workingte hours just to pay off the loan. Unfortunately Wayne never allows her to work. She badly wanted to earn some cash and relief some of his burdens, but thest time he suggested that he tantly refused. Sometimes it makes her think she ain¡¯t neen but ten.


    The ride home was in silence. She knew Wayne was engrossed with how he¡¯s gonna get the cash to foot mom¡¯s bills. Gosh!.. if only she could help. The cab pulls up at thier apartment and she steps out. She pushed


    through the gates and walked up to their apartment porch. She turns the knob and step in.


    Wayne trails behind her and he plonk down a single sofa tiredly. Fiona kicked off her sneakers, walking barefooted to the kitchen. She returns with a can of water and pour some into a ss cup for Wayne.


    ¡°Thanks Fiona¡± He mutters gratefully as he drain out the contents. She returns it to the kitchen and leaned against the doorframe as she stared at him.


    ¡°What¡¯s eating you out¡­ spill it out Wayne¡± She furrow her brows in concern. Wayne groans. He knew this was probably the worst time to think of Selene, but he couldn¡¯t stop wondering why she wants him as her secretary. One thing he¡¯s sure of he¡¯s not taking up the offer. It sounds like bad news.


    ¡°Are you worried about mom?¡± Fiona leans off the doorframe and walks to sit beside him.


    ¡°No I¡¯m not Fiona¡­ cos I¡¯m certain she¡¯s gonna be fine. We just need to believe that alright?¡± Wayne assures her and she smiles. Those words taking off the sadness she felt.


    ¡°It¡¯s a good thing you aren¡¯t going to work tomorrow Wayne¡­ I¡¯d make sure I wake up early enough to prepare breakfast for mom¡± She voice out as she wraps her hair into a bun.


    ¡°Alright Fiona go freshen up while I fix dinner¡± Wayne says and push to his feet before striding into the kitchen. She was too tired to argue. She walked to her room and shut the door close. She stripped off her dress and showered for a short while before putting on her nightie. She brush down her hair and pack it up in a bun. Her phone dings and she picks it up to stare at the screen. A small smile tugs at her lips as a new photo of selene disys on her screen. She plumps down the bed as she admires the photo. Selene has a fan page and the number of followers are eye turning. Oh goodness!. How she wished she could meet selene just once. She saved the photo to her phone and drops the phone back on the bed. She had barely walked out of the room when an idea pops into her head. She paused with her hands on the door knob.


    Wayne couldn¡¯t provide the money for her mom¡¯s treatment and even if he did, he may go broke. Selene was more like a phnthropist todies and she knew of so many orphanages she had donated lots of money to. Gosh!¡­ maybe selene might be willing to help her out!. She never refuses when ady asks for help. With her heartbeat elerating she walks back to the bed and grabbed her phone. Searching the for her number she jots it down and saved the contact to her phone.


    Fiona runs her palm down her hair nervously as she decided on whether to call or text. she finally decides on texting. She suck in her breath as she types.


    HI MISS SELENE, TRUST YOU DOING GOOD, I¡¯M AWFULLY IN NEED OF YOUR HELP, I¡¯D BE GLAD IF WE COULD TALK.


    Fiona giggles happily as she clicks on send. She suck in her breath before releasing it slowly. She didn¡¯t just do that did she. That was the bravest thing she¡¯s ever done, considering she was the shy type.


    ¡°Fiona¡­ table is set¡± Wayne yells from the living room. Fiona shoves the phone under the pillow and blew out a breath. Good job Fiona!.


    ¡°Alright brother I¡¯d be out soon¡± She breath out, sliding her foot into her slippers and sauntering out of her room.


    ***


    Fiona swungs her legs out of bed and yawns blearily. she run her palm down her face and parts the window drapes as the sunlight streams in.


    ¡°Good morning Lord..¡± She mumble as she trudges into the bathroom. She wash up her face and return back to the room. She pause midway when she remembers the text she sent to selene. Fiona gasps and rushed to the bed to retrieve her phone. Her heartbeat mmed against her ribs tremendously, wondering what her reply was. She swipe at the screen and was disappointed to see she hasn¡¯t returned the text. She sigh lowly and toss it to the bed. Maybe she hasn¡¯t seen it yet. She padded out of the room and walks to Wayne¡¯s door. She turns the knob and peeked her head in. He was still asleep.


    ¡°Damn!¡­ he must be really tired¡± She shut it close and walk into the kitchen to fix breakfast. She brings out ingredients from the cab and drops it on the countertop just as she hears the faint ringing of her phone. She arch her brows as she stride to her room. Who could possibly be calling this early?. She picks up the phone from the bed and stare at the screen. A silent scream escapes her mouth when she sees it¡¯s Selene. Okay this could probably be her mind doing a trick on her. Her hands are shaky as she swiped at the answer icon, pressing the phone against her ear.


    ¡°Hi!¡± Fiona croaks out.


    ¡°Hey..¡± Selene voice was just as she expected it to be; sonorious and calm. Fiona seems lost for words. Holy shit! Fiona you¡¯re do dumb!. her subconscious screams as she itch at her hair.


    ¡°I¡­ I¡¯m Fiona miss selene¡­¡± She voice out.


    ¡°Fiona¡­ that¡¯s a pretty name¡± Selenepliments and Fiona could swear her cheeks were a deep shade of red. Damnit who ever thought she¡¯d be speaking to Selene!.


    ¡°So Fiona¡­ you need my help?¡± Selene voice cut through her thoughts and she shuts her eyes.


    ¡°Yeah¡­ yeah miss Selene¡­ I¡¯m sorry if I¡¯m bothering you but my mom is hospitalized and they¡¯re demanding arge sum of money. I¡¯m afraid we can¡¯te up with such amount¡± Tears pool at her eyes as she remembers her mom.


    ¡°You have a sibling?¡± Fiona blinks her eyes to focus and nods.


    ¡°Uhmm¡­ I do miss selene. I¡¯ve got an elder brother¡­ and¡­ I think you¡¯ve met him once¡± Fiona whispers thest part as she hear selene suck in her breath.


    ¡°What¡¯s his name?¡± Her voice isced with anxiousness. Fiona could tell she¡¯s gotten her full attention. Fiona sucks in her breath.


    ¡°His name is Wayne miss¡­ Wayne Anderson¡± Fiona says with a proud smirk. A long silence follows and she wondered if she¡¯s probably hung up.


    ¡°Alright Fiona¡­ I¡¯d help you¡± She finally says as Fiona hungs her mouth open. Huh!, just like that!. She¡¯s gonna pay for mom¡¯s bills!.

 CHAPTER 17

    ¡°His name is Wayne miss¡­ Wayne Anderson¡± Fiona says with a proud smirk. A long silence follows and she wondered if she¡¯s probably hung up.


    ¡°Alright Fiona¡­ I¡¯d help you¡± She finally says as Fiona hungs her mouth open. Huh!, just like that!. She¡¯s gonna pay for mom¡¯s bills!.


    ¡°Oh my gee!¡­ th.. thanks so much miss selene this¡­ means a lot!¡± Fiona croaked out with her voice filled with emotions.


    ¡°That¡¯s fine ¡­ I¡¯m d to help, I¡¯ve got to go now. Send me the name of the hospital she¡¯s admitted to alright?¡±. Fiona nods sheepishly.


    ¡°Uh¡­ okay miss Selene, I¡¯d do that right away!¡± She breaths out as Selene hangs up.


    She plump down the bed in excitement. Holy shit! this ain¡¯t real is it. She suck In her breath, wondering how Wayne would react. She couldn¡¯t stop wondering why Wayne doesn¡¯t seem to fancy her, why he was always pissed whenever she talked about her. He¡¯s never one to judge easily, but he seems to be doing that to Selene. Fiona shrugs and swipe at her screen. She carefully chose her words as she texted Selene. Now the doctor can carry out the surgery. If there was anything she¡¯d do to make sure her mom gets cured, she¡¯d dly do it. Even if it means being scolded by Wayne. Though she¡¯s neen she couldn¡¯t stop acting like a kid. Dropping the phone, she stood on the bed and started bouncing on it in excitement.


    ¡°Hi doctor Mac¡± Wayne smiles as he gets into his office. Fiona trails behind him with a huge smile on her face.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    ¡°Hey Wayne¡­ have your seat¡± He gestures to the seat. He smiles at Fiona in greeting. Wayne nods and takes his seat wondering why doctor Mac seems happy to see him. Fiona leaned against the wall behind him, watching the smile on his face, could it be Selene already paid the bills!?.


    ¡°Uhmm¡­ there¡¯s real good news Wayne¡± Doctor Mac says as Fiona suck in her breath. Wayne sad mood seems to lift with those words.


    ¡°Really doc!. Is my mom alright now?¡± Wayne asks impatiently. He chuckles and shakes his head.


    ¡°No Wayne¡­ but I¡¯m certain she¡¯s gonna be fine¡­ and you don¡¯t have to pay a dime for her treatment¡± He says with a smile.


    ¡°Huh¡­. Wh.. what do you mean doc¡­.¡± Wayne archs his brows in confusion as he turns to nce at Fiona. Fiona feigns a surprised face and she bats hershes.


    ¡°Surprisingly, we got a call this morning and arge sum of money was donated for your mother¡¯s surgeries. She can get treated of her lung disease also and it¡¯s more than enough to provide for all the meds she¡¯s gonna use afterwards¡±


    Wayne stares at him like he¡¯s saying trash. Fiona gasps as she ced her palm over her mouth. Holy fuck!.. she never knew Selene would pay for all her mother¡¯s treatment. Now not only would she get treated but she¡¯s gonna get cured from her lung infection. Good God! Wayne rakes his hand at his hair in confusion, who the heck did this. This was certainly more than a generous offer and it¡¯s seems kind of suspicious. Why would the person pay for only his mom¡¯s bills.


    ¡°Alright doc, I think my head is gonna explode anytime soon from my endless thoughts. Who was the sponsor?¡± Wayne furrows his brows. Doctor Mac grins.


    ¡°It¡¯s Selene ¡­ Wayne¡± Doctor Mac voice out as Wayne face takes on a dangerous look.


    ¡°What the fuck do you mean by Selene!¡± Wayne growls. Fiona heartbeat runs wild at Wayne¡¯s reaction. Doctor Mac appears surprised.


    ¡°How do you mean Wayne¡­ you don¡¯t like the idea of her helping out!?¡± Doctor Mac asks in surprise., who the heck wouldn¡¯t be happy about this!. Wayne shoves the chair away and push to his feet.


    ¡°Doctor Mac¡­ Its sounds suspicious¡­ how the heck did she know about my mom!?¡­ my boss doesn¡¯t know my family and Fiona¡­ ¡± He pause mid sentence and dtes his eyes. Wayne whips his head to meet her gaze and her demeanor says it all.


    ¡°Fiona!¡­ you¡¯re the one behind this aren¡¯t you!?¡± He seethed. Fiona bites down her lips and stare down at the marble tiles.


    ¡°Fuck!¡± Wayne cuss as he clenched his teeth.


    ¡°Wayne!¡­ take it easy on her, I can see she meant no harm.. she wanted to help okay¡­ I¡¯d just leave you to to talk things out¡± He smiles and strides out of the office.


    ¡°Why the fuck would you do that Fiona!¡± Wayne grits out as soon as they were alone. Fiona looks up at him, cringing at his angry features. She barely saw him angry.


    ¡°I¡¯m¡­ sorry brother¡± She mutter lowly. Wayne stares at her in disbelief.


    ¡°Sorry!?¡­. you¡¯re sorry!?¡­ godammit it¡¯s not about being sorry!. Why would you do such nonsense without my knowledge huh!¡± His voice was loud now and Fiona tries not to freak out.


    ¡°I thought you might not approve of it Wayne!¡­ mom life was at stake and I needed to do something!¡± She falters as Wayne growls, raking his hand at his hair.


    ¡°I never said I wasn¡¯t gonna provide for mom¡¯s bills!¡­ I don¡¯t want her thinking I can¡¯t fend for myself!¡­ especially now that I declined her offer to work for her!¡± Wayne says through clenched teeth.


    ¡°Huh!?¡­. She wants you to work for her?¡± Fiona queries as she stared at him, gobsmacked. Wayne groans in exasperation.


    ¡°She freaking did!¡­. and you know what¡­ I declined. I¡¯m not about getting myself into her mess. She¡¯s got something up her sleeves I¡¯m sure of that Fiona¡­.. we aren¡¯t epting that cash!¡± Fiona bats hershes and chuckles bitterly.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you ept the offer wayne¡­ she pays well and you know it!¡­ how the heck do you know she¡¯s bad if you barely know her!¡­ mom¡¯s life is at stake and you¡¯re nning on returning the cash¡­. it seems like you barely care about mom¡¯s health!¡± Fiona blurts out in anger. He walks towards her and holds her by the arm.


    ¡°Look here Fiona¡­ That cash is a Greek offer, hell!, she ain¡¯t giving that willingly. She wants something in return!.. Working with her is not possible okay!?¡± Fiona bites down at her lips and scoff.


    ¡°And why the hell are you refusing to work for her huh?¡­ I know you¡¯ve always hated her Wayne but I don¡¯t care!. I suggest you put your ego aside for once and ept the cash!¡± Why does he have to be so difficult dammit!. Wayne sucks in his breath. This was ridiculous.


    ¡°I¡¯ve always told you to believe Fiona¡­ where the hell is your believe that I¡¯d provide the cash!?¡± She shakes her head and snatched her arm from his grasp.


    ¡°No Wayne!¡­ I do believe that you could put away your hate for Selene and work for her¡­ ept the damn money and stop your egoistic attitude¡± She watches his expression and it¡¯s unreadable. Fiona run her palm down her hair and storm to the door.


    ¡°I¡¯d go check up on mom¡± She says and step out, mming the door hard behind her. Wayne stared at the door clenching his fist to push down his anger. He knew Fiona was only trying to help, but why did she have to choose Selene. And to think that Selene epted to help is making his head throb. The door opens and it reveals doctor Mac. Wayne puffs out and sits on the chair.


    ¡°Wayne¡­ I hate to admit this but I think Fiona did the right thing. Your mom¡¯s health is gradually deteriorating and it may get worse if we take longer. I know how you feel Wayne, it feels kinda intimidating to ept such offer from ady¡­ but you¡¯ve got to ept the fact that you can¡¯te up with the cash easily¡­¡± Wayne pauses as his words hits him hard. He sighs lowly. Quite alright this was intimidating, but could he provide all the expenses?. He had just half the payment. How about her lung disease. He leans back into his chair.


    ¡°For the sake of my mom doctor¡­.. I¡¯m gonna let her pay¡± Doctor Mac smiles in admiration. Wayne has always been so responsible and coupled with his good looks, he¡¯s sure girls would probably go overboard to be with him.


    ¡°I¡¯m d you made a good decision Wayne¡­ now you just need to sign the papers and we¡¯re gonna proceed with the surgeries right away¡± Doctor Mac slides the medical documents across him. Wayne looks down at it and sighs. He¡¯s gonna pay back the money. Wayne sucks in his breath as he grips at the pen he held. And even if it meant putting aside his ego and working for Selene.


    ?????


    Wayne stares at himself in the full length mirror as he knots his tie. He never imagined he¡¯d decide to finally work for her. But after yesterday.. he couldn¡¯t avoid it. If there¡¯s any way to pay for what she¡¯d done, he¡¯d do so. He had called Zach and told him he¡¯s epted to work for her. Zach was probably off the top with excitement. The door to his room creaks open after a knock and Wayne sighs without turning back. Fiona had been sulking ever since yesterday¡¯s incident. He felt bad, knowing she was only doing so for thier mom¡¯s wellbeing but he had scolded her anyways.


    ¡°You¡¯re never gonna learn how to knot your tie perfectly are you?¡± Fiona teases as she walked to him. He chuckles and turn to face her. She giggles and adjusts the tie well till it was properly done.


    ¡°There you go handsome as ever¡± She winks as he rolls his eyes. Fiona bites down at her lip.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry for acting rudely yesterday Wayne¡± She mutters pouting up at him. He chuckles and turns to face the mirror again.


    ¡°I should be apologizing Fiona¡­ I should have understood the reasons for your actions¡­ but you should have informed me all the same¡± He rolls his eyes as hebs out his hair. Fiona chuckles.


    ¡°Im sorry for not letting you know¡­ but sometimes Wayne you forget I¡¯m neen¡­ stop treating me like a kid for fuck sake arrgh!¡± she palm her cheeks as theyugh. He checks out himself in the mirror before turning back to her.


    ¡°You¡¯d always be my little one Fiona¡­ even if you grow old and toothless¡± He pulls at her cheeks yfully.


    ¡°Whatever¡­ off to work huh?¡± She still couldn¡¯t believe Wayne declined Selene offer to work for her. Wayne sighs and itches his hair, deciding on telling her. She could probably freak out.


    ¡°Yeah¡­ I¡¯m off to work¡­ c¡¯mon let me drop you off at the hospital¡± He says and they walk out of the room. Fiona grabs the sk of food she made for her mom.


    ¡°Are you picking Zach up immediately?¡± She trail behind him as they walk out. Wayne groans and turns to meet her.


    ¡°Okay Fiona¡­.. I don¡¯t want you to freak out but I¡¯m resuming work at Diamond corps¡­¡± Fiona bats hershes.


    ¡°You mean thepany¡­ owned by Selene!¡± She squeaks out and tightens her grip on the sk of food. Wayne rolls his eyes.


    ¡°You got that right, now let¡¯s head out I¡¯m runningte¡± He strides out of the room and groans when Fiona excited scream rang out in the apartment.


    *****


    Selene sucks in her breath as she waited anxiously for Wayne. Zachary has texted her that he finally epted. She chuckle and smoothen down her hair. He¡¯s got such a cute sister anyways. Maybe it was her lucky charm that finally led him into working for her, though she paid for their mom¡¯s medical bills out of love. She¡¯s never experienced the love of a mother. Being in the orphanage with lots of homeless kids sure has it disadvantages. The door opens after a knock and Gwen steps in. Selene smiles at her. She had told Gwen she¡¯d be hiring a new secretary but had given her the ce of a chef though. Gwen makes the nicest coffee and prepares tasty meals she couldn¡¯t afford loosing her. Gwen although a bit sad, had finally cheered up when Selene retained her as the chef.


    ¡°He¡¯s here ma¡¯am¡± She says mischievously ¡°And he¡¯s a total hottie too¡± She added and smirked. Selene rolls her eyes dramatically.


    ¡°You have a family Gwen¡­ let him in¡± She ordered as Gwenughs quietly and close the door after stepping out. Selene leans back into her seat as the door open secondster. She watch him step in and a sigh escapes her lips. Why does one has to be this cute. She puts up a smile as he stands, checking her out. Okay he¡¯s got to stop this intense looks, it¡¯s making her hot down there. She run her palm down her hair. She parts her mouth to speak but shut it almost immediately. Damnit Selene don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re lost for words!¡­

 CHAPTER 18

    ¡°You have a family Gwen¡­ let him in¡± She ordered as Gwenughs quietly and close the door after stepping out. Selene leans back into her seat as the door open secondster. She watch him step in and a sigh escapes her lips. Why does one has to be this cute. She puts up a smile as he stands, checking her out. Okay he¡¯s got to stop this intense looks, it¡¯s making her hot down there. She run her palm down her hair. She parts her mouth to speak but shut it almost immediately. Damnit Selene don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re lost for words!.


    ¡°Good morning Selene¡± Wayne smirks at her. It¡¯s a good thing he has an effect on her. Selene forces a smile and clears her lung.


    ¡°Morning¡­. Wayne¡± She voice out. She itches her hair and opens the lid of herptop. Godammit she shouldn¡¯t be checking him out.. it¡¯s supposed to be the other way round!.


    ¡°I was told I¡¯d be resuming work today¡± Wayne continues as he looked round the plush office. She¡¯s got a taste for nice stuffs. He could remember years ago, he used to have this kind of office or maybe more than this.


    ¡°Yeah¡­ you¡¯re right¡­ as my secretary¡± She drawls on thest word and stops herself from rolling her eyes. She hates to know that he isn¡¯t always drooling at her.


    ¡°Have your seat¡± She tells him and get off the couch. Walking to the cab she pours wine into two sses and walk back to him.


    ¡°Here you go¡± She gives him a ss. Wayne stares at her as she walk round the table and return back to her seat. Nice backside though.


    ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you be thanking me¡± Selene asks as she knot her brows at him. Wayne nods slowly.


    ¡°Yeah¡­ I guess I should. in as much as I didn¡¯t want any of this, I don¡¯t have a choice. You paid my mom¡¯s surgery fees and that¡¯s the reason I chose to work for you¡­ I¡¯m gonna pay . back every money you spent on my mom, Selene¡± Selene bites her lips and stare down her palm in anger. Great¡­ so he agreed to work for her cos she helped him and not willingly?. He¡¯s got nerves and its slowly pissing her out.


    ¡°That¡¯s cute of you¡­ showing appreciation for what I¡¯ve done.. I guess the only way you could pay me for what I did is to work diligently¡­ impress me green orbs¡± She smirks at him and he chuckles.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to tell what to do¡­. I know how to handle being your secretary¡± Wayne smirks back. Selene bites down her lips. Truth be told she wasn¡¯t prepared for this. She¡¯s always used to intimidating guys with her gazes, but he seems different. He better keeps up with this attitude because the moment he¡¯s gonna let down his guard, she¡¯d strike¡­ in a way he won¡¯t expect. Selene pushes the swivel backwards she stands. She walks over to an inbuilt cab and retrieves a booklet.


    ¡°I love being particr Wayne¡­ so here is all you need to know about working for me. Diamond corps is a multi productionpany and we have lots of schedules, you need to keep me updated on each of them¡± She tells him before handing him the booklet. Although she was being professional, Wayne admired her sense of responsibility. It was a good thing she kept Mrs grace business growing.


    ¡°Roger that Selene¡± He conceded. Selene scoffs and sits on the swivel.


    ¡°Show some respect¡­ you should call me boss not by my name¡±. Though she loved the way he called her name. She wasn¡¯t nning on being easy on him. Wayne shrugs a shoulder


    ¡°As you wish boss¡± Sarcasm drips from his tone as he smirked at her. she rolls her eyes before buzzing the inte. Gwen walks in secondster.


    ¡°She¡¯s gonna show you to your office and also brief you on my schedules today¡­ you can go now¡± Selene voice out, trying to keep the anger out of her voice. Wayne gets off the seat and strides out without a backward nce. She watch him smile at Gwen as they leave the office. Selene bites down her lips, hating the fact that Gwen blushed at that single action. She kicked off her heels and dug her feet into the rug fitting, Asshole!.

    Stacey walks into the restaurant and smiles as she sights Zoey and Melissa at a corner of therge restaurant. Her two psychotic best friends.


    ¡°Hey bitches¡± Stacey greets as she gets to them, sitting across them on the booth.


    ¡°Hey yourself¡­ where the fuck where youst night?¡± Zoey, a petite blonde who looks much younger than her age says as she feigns a serious face.


    ¡°I had an urgent issue to tend to¡­ what¡¯s your beef?¡± Stacey rolls her eyes and Melissa chortles, She¡¯s a brte and has got freckles on her face, the youngest of the trio. Though well above thirty, they act as though they are below twenty five. The three jointly owns arge spa in the heart of the city.


    ¡°You¡¯re a freaking nympho Stace!. You just recently arrived and the next thing some cute guy is mming into you¡­ have some shame girlfriend!¡± Zoey groans as melissa holds back herughter.


    ¡°That¡¯s so mean of you you know¡± Stacey blurts out.

    ¡°I¡¯m fine¡­¡± She tells him and he nods and leaves to get their orders.


    ¡°You never mentioned you were attracted to waiters Mel¡­¡± Stacey drawls sarcastically.Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Well I¡¯m a lot better than you Stace, chasing after a total hottie who wouldn¡¯t look your way¡± It was Zoey¡¯s turn to cackle. The waiter returns with their order. Stacey waits for him to leave before scowling at them.


    ¡°Fuck you guys¡­ pretty soon Wayne is gonna look my way and hell, I¡¯d do all I can to make you take back what you said¡± Zoey stabs her fork at the steak as sheughs quietly. A short silence follows as they chew on their food. Stacey mind wanders away, thinking of thedy who¡¯s be overly popr. She knew Mrs grace, had seen her in an auction herpany had held months back. Then she¡¯d left Florida for a while and came back with the sad news that Mrs grace is no more and has a sessor.


    ¡°Zoned out already Stace¡­.¡± Mel smirks at her across the table and she groans.


    ¡°C¡¯mon Stace why can¡¯t you admit it, the dude is making you crazy isn¡¯t it Zoey?¡±


    ¡°Absolutely right girlfriend¡± She replied within a mouthful and Stacey sighs.


    ¡°Let¡¯s trash that for now guys¡­ How much do you know about Selene¡± Stacey asks as she gulps from her ss of water. They pause and stare at her.


    ¡°You mean the fair skinned goddess?¡± They chorus and Stacey rolls her eyes.


    ¡°Yeah¡­ that one¡± She says and drops the ss of water back on the table. Zoey slides her food away and dabs at her mouth with a napkin.


    ¡°Well¡­. just a little. Selene has got this enthralling smile and damn it Stace, she¡¯s got the perfect hourss figure¡­ plus she¡¯s the richest bitch here¡± Zoey tells her and Stacey nods.


    ¡°You forgot one thing though¡­ I think all the guys here are fighting to have a nightstand fancy that Stace¡­ sometimes I wish I¡¯m not thirty one¡± Melissa expounds. Stacey shrugs, knowing she was right. She had seen Selene on her fans page and dammit she¡¯s young and fuckin pretty too.


    ¡°Well I can swear on myst penny my darling Wayne isn¡¯t¡± She purrs as they exchange looks before bursting intoughter. Stacey stares daggers at them.


    ¡°You know what¡­ I think lunch break is over¡­ get your damn ass out of the restaurant and let¡¯s heed to work¡­ don¡¯t keep me waiting¡± She blurts out more in exasperation than anger.


    ¡°Huh¡­ who¡¯s gonna pay for this?¡± Melissa sweeps her palm at the table and Stacey chuckles.


    ¡°Ever heard of a credit card¡­ well dearies¡­ you¡¯ve got one¡­ so use it¡± She pushed back her chair and grin at them before walking out of the restaurant.


    ¡°Fuck you bitch¡± Melissa cusses after her and she chuckles lowly


    *****


    Selene scrolls through the files she ordered Wayne to record, searching for a single fault to prove Wayne wasn¡¯t capable. She sucks in her breath and run her hand down her hair. Not a single fault, all his day work was done perfectly, morepetent than Gwen even. She rolls her eye and m theptop shut before striding to the ss walls over looking the city. Unfortunately she¡¯s been angry all day and that was particrly because Wayne had avoided her. She¡¯s got to admit, he¡¯s good at this job. The inte buzzes and Selene turns to face the door as he walks in.


    ¡°It¡¯s past five boss¡­. and it¡¯s my closing hour¡± Wayne watches her angry figure. No matter how she tried to conceal it, he knew she¡¯s been furious all day.


    ¡°Yeah I know right¡­¡± She roll her eyes and walk to the table.


    ¡°That¡¯s perfect cos I¡¯m heading home¡­ You¡¯re driving me home¡± it was more like an order and not a demand. Wayne raises a brow but says nothing. He could drive her home, but that was during working hours. But he¡¯s gonna do anything to keep this job. He nods at her.


    ¡°Fine boss¡­ I¡¯d be waiting downstairs¡± He says and turns to leave.


    ¡°Does my presence intimidate you?¡± Selene asks as he gets to the door. He turns to stare at her as she ambled towards him.


    ¡°And why do you think so¡­ Selene?¡± He looks down at her as she stops right in front of him. He¡¯s staring at her amber couloured eyes and she stares at his green ones. Selene trail her gaze down to his mouth set in a hard line and she shakes her head absently. Good God, could he be any more hot.


    ¡°Just asking¡­ Wayne, just asking¡± She finally says and tear her gaze away from his mouth. She could almost imagine Wayne pulling her to himself and tasting her lips but he smiles at her instead.


    ¡°There¡¯s nothing intimidating about you boss¡­ unless you think there is¡± He rakes his hand at his hair. Selene scoffs and brush past him.


    ¡°Good to know¡± She simply says and walk out of the office in anger. She ignored the many greetings from the few employees and made her way to the elevator. She steps in and Wayne walks in secondster. The ride down to thest floor was in silence. Wayne walks behind her as she stride out of thepany, noticing the stares from the guy workers at the lobby. She walks to her car and slides into the seat after Wayne held it open for her. He slide in next to her and ignites the engine before driving down the road. Selene stares at out window as he drives her home. She reached for a pack of cigarettes from the dashboard and lits a stick. Wayne stares at her in disbelief. She smokes!?. He rolls down the window a bit as she barely stared at him. For fuck sake would he be able to keep up with his job as her secretary, with her flirty and angry attitude?. He hopes so.


    He pulls up at her residence minutester and kills the engine. Selene tosses the burnt out cigarette out of the window and runs her palm down her hair.


    ¡°We¡¯ve arrived boss¡± He unstraps his belt and goes out to open the door for her.


    ¡°Thanks¡± She forces a smile and he nods. The security guard opens the huge gates and Bill steps out to meet her. He paused in his tracks as he sees Wayne. Selene stared at Bill who¡¯s gave was grim with anger.


    ¡°Who the fuck is this Selene¡± He says and knot his brows at her¡­


    ________

 CHAPTER 19

    Selene groans internally. ¡°Bill¡­ I¡¯d tell you all about it, but definitely not now¡±. She had asked Bill to stay at home and he had bregrudgily epted, he wasn¡¯t aware she would employ Wayne. Bill stared daggers at Wayne. He knew him quite alright, knew of the asshole that embarrassed Selene. He return his gaze back to Selene and his gaze softens.


    ¡°Alright Selene, I¡¯d just drive the car in¡± He mutters, and she sigh in relief. Bill stride past Wayne, intentionally brushing his shoulder against his. He gets into the car and drives it into the mansion, the gates closed automatically. Wayne archs his brows but says nothing. It was normal to see him angry, could be some clingy boyfriend. Wayne had seen him in a lot of gossip magazines Fiona has.


    ¡°I would have loved topliment you about today¡¯s work¡­. but you just started working today wayne¡­ I¡¯d see how well you can keep up with whatever you¡¯re doing¡± Selene taunts. Wayne chuckles quietly.


    ¡°I don¡¯t have a problem with that¡± He says as he watches her features. Selene scoffs internally.


    ¡°Goodnight¡­.¡± She tells him and turns to walk into the mansion.


    ¡°Selene¡­¡± Wayne calls and she stops and turn back to meet him. Wayne stalks towards her and stop inches away from her. She tries to keep calm as heat crawls up her spine.


    ¡°Thanks¡­ for saving my mom¡± Wayne gives her a small smile as he look down at her. Selene angry mood lifts with just that single smile. She bats hershes and smile back.


    ¡°You¡¯re wee Wayne¡­¡± Her voice was low, and whatever angry emotions she bottled up was gone. They stood there, awkwardly staring at each other, taking in the exotic fragrance of the cologne they wore.


    ¡°Goodnight¡± Wayne finally breaks the silence and step back. Selene bats hershes to focus and forces the frown back on her face. She walk back to the gates and step in, her heartbeat had suddenly gone wild. She smiled absently at the few guards sprawled around thepound and made her way up the stairs to her room. She flung her bag to a single couch and stalked to the bed. Why the heck did she feel that way when he had stood close to her?. Damn!¡­ Its just been a day since he started working for her and the anger she felt had already dissipated. She couldn¡¯t just back off now. He¡¯s always so proud, acting like she was some randomdy. kicking off her shoes, she wrapped her hair as the opens. She sighs, knowing who it was.


    ¡°Bill, courtesy demands you knock before you enter a room, especially ady¡¯s ¡± she says with an eye roll.


    ¡°Unfortunately I don¡¯t have that courtesy¡­. who was that?¡± He asks and walks to the single couch to sit.


    ¡°Wayne Anderson¡­ my new secretary¡± She muttered as Bill face goes taut.


    ¡°what the fuck happened to Gwen?¡± He furrows his brows at her.


    ¡°I settled for a change Bill!¡± Selene scowls at him.


    ¡°The same guy who embarrassed you in that fuckin restaurant? He blurts out.


    ¡°Exactly the reason I employed him¡­. and seriously could you just cut the crap already and stop acting like my boyfriend¡± She grits out and he goes quiet. Bill sucks in his breath. He knew Selene didn¡¯t just employ him for the sake of it. She probably wanted to get back at him for what he did to her that night. And the guy, Zayne, wayne or whatever his name is, doesn¡¯t look like someone you mess with. He still couldn¡¯t forget how tall and well built he was.


    ¡°Alright Selene¡­ I¡¯m just trying to look out for you¡­ that was the promise I made to Mrs grace¡± He gets off the couch Selene sighs.


    ¡°I know Bill, and u appreciate that, but just trust me on this one okay¡­. I know what I¡¯m doing¡± she smirks at him and Bill shrugs.


    ¡°Alright¡­. Goodnight¡± She smiles in return and he walks out.


    ¡°Jeez!¡± Selene growls out and reached for a pack of virgina slim on the nightstand. she wedges it between her thumb and index finger before she lit it. She brings out herptop and boots it on. Now was the time to start getting rid of those idiots who raped her, atleast she¡¯s has one down and she has the contact of another two. She swipe at the screen of her phone and types the name of one of them. She rx against the headboard, smoking her Virgina slim and watching with a smile as the information on the guy pops up on her screen.

    Closing the door of Susan¡¯s ward quietly, Wayne stares at her unconscious self on the bed. Fiona was asleep with her head ced on the bed. Wayne watches them with a sad heart. Once Susan Anderson was the prettiest or one of the prettiest woman in Los Angeles. Had the most brightest smile and a blunt attitude towards challenges. The more reason his dad Greg Anderson was deeply in love with her. He was younger then, probably about twenty years and Fiona fifteen.


    Things happened faster than anyone could imagine. They had dinner the day before Greg was to leave for New york for an international business conference. They were a small happy family, and he had left that night, leaving him to look after thepanies he owned in Los Angeles. And it was barely up to a day before the news was shown live on the, Greg Anderson was involved in an airne ident. It was the start of a ugly drastic side of life. Two weekster and it was discovered he owed huge debts and the mansion andpanies were used to pay up. They had to leave all their plush life and move down to Florida. Miami was a bustling happy city to live in, and with the amount of money Wayne had in his life savings, they would survive well¡­ or so he thought, until Susan took to smoking and drugs. Two yearster she was down with lung disease. All the cash he had was spent in treating her and he still couldn¡¯t till now.


    He shakes off the ad memories and ambles towards them. Fiona wakes up at the light sound of his footsteps and smile up at him.


    ¡°Hey brother¡­ back already¡± She grinned and he nods.


    ¡°I spoke with Doctor Mac.. the first surgery was sessful¡± Wayne mutters and Fiona nods happily.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    ¡°Yeah Wayne and I¡¯m so happy!¡­ I just hope she could be concious and they could treat her lung disease¡­ gosh I¡¯d be so happy!¡± Wayne chuckles and drops the pack of MacDonald¡¯s on the empty chair beside him.


    ¡°Yeah Fiona¡­. that¡¯s all we want and if we believe it coulde to pass¡­ it¡¯s just about having that strong hope.. that¡¯s what is gonna keep mom going throughout the surgery¡± He says and Fiona sucks in her breath.


    ¡°It¡¯s good knowing I have you as my brother¡­ and a hot one at that¡± She smirks at him and heughs.


    ¡°I can bet a lot of guys out there are dying to have your attention with how pretty you are Fiona¡± Wayne teases and Fiona giggles.


    ¡°Oh brothere on.. you know me, I¡¯m always the shy type?¡± She rolls her eyes and theyugh.


    ¡°She¡¯s gonna get through isn¡¯t she?¡± Fiona mutters as she return her gaze back to her mom, with IV fluids bag connected to her wrist. Wayne puts his arm around her.


    ¡°She will Fiona¡­ now stop worrying and eat up¡­ I guess you¡¯re famished¡± Wayne coos.


    ¡°You got that right brother¡­. and this smells good¡± She smacks her lips and picks up the pack of MacDonald¡¯s as Wayne chuckles quietly.


    ¡°Tell me I look great!¡± Stacey says and twirl in front of Zoey. She palm her face and groans.


    ¡°For the umpeenth time you look great bitch¡­ now get the fuck out of my room!¡± She scowls and gently shoves her towards the door.


    ¡°Come on Zoey I¡¯m stopping at Zach¡¯s and I¡¯m definitely gonna see Wayne!¡± Stacey fusses and stops at the door.


    ¡°And I told you already oldie.. you look great¡± She roll her eyes and finally pushes her out, mming the door shut and groaning. Stacey chuckles and stride out of the apartment. She slides into her convertible and run her palm down her red hair as the cool morning air ruffles her hair. Red actually looks good on her. She ignite the engine and drive out, her thoughts all on Wayne.


    She arrives at the office thirty minutester and she hopped out of the car and walked into the lobby of thepany. She arch her brows and looked around at the workers. They weren¡¯t actually working, instead they were loitering around and gossiping. What the fuck!, Zach was a no nonsense boss, why didn¡¯t he notice this. They scurried back to their office cubicles when they spotted her and she roll her eyes before stepping into the elevator. She punches the botton for his office floor and suck in her breath. Jeez!¡­ would Wayne ever ept her as his girlfriend. She might be older than him but she could pass for a young woman. No matter how hard he proved, she would continue to push untill the she got him. The door slides open and she stepped out, her frown returns to her face when she sees anotherdy sitting at his office cubicle. Did Zach employ another.


    ¡°Good morning ma¡¯am¡± The girl smiles at her.


    ¡°Is Zach in?¡± She asks ignoring her greetings.


    ¡°Yeah ma¡¯am but he doesn¡¯t wanna see anyone¡± She scowls at the girl and walks to the office. She punches the code and step in despite the girl¡¯s protest. Then she saw him, sitting on the office couch with two bottles of wine on the table.


    ¡°Zach!¡± She calls in rm and stride to him. He looks like shit


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you¡­ aren¡¯t you aware you¡¯re at work?¡± She blurts out and he sighs.


    ¡°Where¡¯s Wayne?¡± She looks around the office and it¡¯s in a mess. Goodness what¡¯s going on.


    ¡°He doesn¡¯t work for me any longer Stacey¡± He slurrs.


    ¡°What do you mean¡­ you sacked him!¡­ how dare you do that!¡± She grits out.


    ¡°Fuck Stacey keep it low¡­ he¡¯s working for my Selene¡­. my darling Selene, and she¡¯s abandoned me¡­ I¡¯m a fool¡­ ¡± He chuckles and she gasps.


    ¡°Selene¡­ the¡­. fair skinned goddess!?¡± She asks in disbelief. Zach chuckles and nod.


    ¡°Damn it Zach¡­ you really are a fool how could you allow him to work for her you fuckin cunt!¡± She yells in anger. Zach shrugs a shoulder and reaches for the bottle. Stacy cusses and snatched it away.


    ¡°You¡¯re so dumb Zach.. I¡¯ming back to deal with yourme ass¡­ yourpany might go bankrupt with the way you¡¯re acting!¡± She puts the bottle down and storms to the door.


    ¡°Where you going¡± He asks through dted eyes. She scoffs.


    ¡°Paying him a visit asshole¡± She twist the knob and step out.


    ¡°Tell my Selene I love her alright!¡± Zach yells and she shakes her head before mming thedoor shut angrily.

 CHAPTER 20

    Stacey fumes as she stared at the tall ss building of Diamond corps. Alright she doesn¡¯t have an issue with Selene taking the limelight from thedies in Miami, but what business does she have to do with Wayne!. She crossed the busy streets and stepped into thepany¡¯srge foyer. The expensive decors proved Selene manages thepany perfectly. Stacey walks up to the receptionist desk and smiled up at the girl behind the counter.


    ¡°Hi ma¡¯am wee to Diamond corps¡± The girl shes her a grin and Stacey smiles back.


    ¡°Hi¡­. please I¡¯m here to see my boyfriend¡± She feigned a worried face and the girl furrows her brows.


    ¡°Huh ¡­ boyfriend, I¡¯m sorry ma¡¯am but we don¡¯t allow spouses to visit each other¡± She says and returns to typing at theptop. Stacey cusses inwardly.


    ¡°Uh¡­. I know girlie but this is very important¡­. you see¡­ our kid caught a flu and I need to let him know he¡¯s been hospitalized¡± She sniffs and the girl¡¯s gaze softened as she blinks.


    ¡°Jeez¡­ I¡¯m so sorry about that ma¡¯am, what¡¯s his name?¡± She asks as she types at herptop. Stacey sighs in relief.


    ¡°Wayne¡­ he¡¯s the secretary to your boss¡± The girl mutters an ¡®oh¡¯ and she could swear the girl was blushing terribly, bitch!.


    ¡°Alright ma¡¯am¡­ you can go ahead. it¡¯s on the tenth floor¡­ and you¡¯ve got a damn cute husband ma¡¯am¡± She says sincerely and Stacey couldn¡¯t hide the deep shade of red that crept up her cheeks.


    ¡°Yeah¡­ I know that, and that¡¯s why I¡¯m never letting him go.. thanks a lot¡± She smirks at her before striding off to the elevator. She could swear the girl was dying of envy. That¡¯s totally cool though, the thought of having Wayne as her husband. Gosh!, she¡¯s sure they would have cute kids. Stacey gets into the elevator and punches the button for the tenth floor. She stared at her figure through the transparent walls as it rides up. Okay what the heck is she going to see him for?. Convince him to stop working here and return as Zach¡¯s secretary?. Sure he¡¯s gonna be pissed at her. She groaned inwardly but before she could rethink her decision, the elevator door slides open and she steps into the hallway. She sucks in her breath as her eyes stops on Wayne. She bat hershes as heat travels up and down her spine. Gawd!, when his he gonna agree to her request, she couldn¡¯t wait already.


    ¡°Hi Wayne¡± She calls as she walks up to him.


    ¡°Stacey!¡­. what in the world are you doing here!¡± He blurts out and push to his feet hastily. Selene is in a bad mood and would probably look for an excuse to take it out on him.


    ¡°Obviously stopped by to see you!¡­ now shouldn¡¯t I be asking you¡­ what the heck are you doing here!?.¡± She waves her hand at his table and he groans.


    ¡°I¡¯m working Stacey¡­. should I spell it out for you?¡± He rakes his hand at his hair and she sighs.


    ¡°Really Wayne¡­. so you¡¯re gonna get angry cos I stopped by to see how you¡¯re faring¡± She voice out, slightly hurt. Wayne cusses lowly.


    ¡°Thanks, but I didn¡¯t ask for it¡­ and could you please get going, I¡¯m not really ready for whatever my boss might do when she sees you¡± He grabs her arm and starts to usher her out.


    ¡°Why are you in a hurry to see me leave?¡± Stacey grits out as she snatches her arm from his grasp.


    ¡°Are you seeing her?¡­ tell me Wayne you¡¯re probably one of those guys who want a nightstand huh!¡± She raised her voice a notch, wishing Selene would hear ande out of the darn office.


    ¡°What the fuck do you mean Stacey!¡± Wayne growls as he stared down at her in anger. Why did Zach let her know of his whereabouts. This wasn¡¯t what he wanted on his second day of work dammit!.


    ¡°I just wanted to be sure Wayne¡­¡± She mutters lowly.


    ¡°I don¡¯t owe you an exnation Stacey!¡­ and I don¡¯t want you showing up here ever again¡­ do you understand that¡± He snarls icily, anger etched on his face. Stacey flinched at his expression. She¡¯s never seem him this angry. She sniffles and nods her head.


    ¡°Sure I won¡¯t .. but you must promise to meet up with me whenever you¡¯re free¡­ don¡¯t refuse Wayne!¡­ please¡± She pleas. Wayne sighs.


    ¡°I¡¯d think about it .. now get going!¡± He grits as he grabs her arm once more, hastily ushering her back to the elevator. The office door opens just as she steps in and Selene dtes her eyes at the sight. She pause in her steps as Stacey leaves. She doesn¡¯t misses the fact that he held her by the arm. Wayne rakes his hand at his hair and turns to meet Selene gaze.


    ¡°Fuck!¡± He cusses inwardly as Selene walks up to him. It was obvious she saw what just happened.


    ¡°Who was that?¡± She jabs her thumb at the door. Wayne watches her angry features.


    ¡°Uhh¡­ she¡¯s a friend, I¡¯m sorry if she had to stop by¡± Selene nods and shrugs.


    ¡°She seems more than just a friend Wayne¡± She bites down whatever thing she was feeling. Anger?, jealousy?. It all makes sense now. He has a girlfriend, a redhead at that. Though she didn¡¯t see her face, it was obvious she¡¯d be pretty. Wayne doesn¡¯t reply her taunting. He¡¯s just gonna leave it that way.


    ¡°I was about to inform you that you¡¯ve got important clientsing in from Chicago¡­. they¡¯d be here at noon¡± Wayne says as he walks back to his desk.


    ¡°Alright¡­. I¡¯m stepping out. I¡¯ve got some stuffs to attend to¡­. I¡¯d be back just in time for the meeting, get whatever I¡¯d need ready¡± She says smoothening down her hair. Wayne nods. He smiles when he remembers his mom.


    ¡°The first surgery was sessful¡­. thanks again Selene¡­. though I never wanted any of this, I¡¯m d she¡¯s getting much better¡± He spares her a grateful nce and Selene smiles back sincerely. Wow!, with how happy he looks, it means he loved her dearly. How does it feel to be loved?, she¡¯s never had anyone care about her since she was little. Everyone just doesn¡¯t give a flying fuck If you¡¯re deep in life¡¯s shit.


    ¡°I¡¯m d to hear that Wayne, atleast you don¡¯t have to lose concentration on work¡­.¡± She roll her eyes partly in amusement and Wayne chuckles and she blinks. Woah¡­ that was hot. But that¡¯s how it is with Wayne. Every damn thing about him looks sexy. His tousled hair, pale green orbs and tall built frame.


    ¡°I¡¯d just get going, Inform Gwen I¡¯d have pasta and steak for lunch¡± She informs him before stepping into the elevator. Why had heat travel down her spine at the sound of hisughter. Goodness Selene get a grip on yourself!. She palm her cheeks and sigh tiredly. She should focus on doing what she wanted, him. She¡¯d prove to him that he was just like other guys, and she could get whatever she wants from him no matter how unyeilding he proves to be.


    Pushing out thoughts of him, she leaned against the elevator walls. She found out yesternight that one of those guys were out of the country, the other was not, but he wasn¡¯t in Miami too. Jeez!, how unfortunate!. But there¡¯s still more she would take down anyways. She didn¡¯t really have to bother about her fingerprints leading her to the police, the police wouldn¡¯t know she ever did. She¡¯s got magic, and it had made her totally invincible. Her phone dings just as she she steps out of the elevator and she pulls it out to stare at the caller, Zach.


    Shit!. Why does he have to be so clingy dammit, he isn¡¯t the only guy she had enchanted. Lots of them and yet they don¡¯t act the way he does. She mutes the call and shoves it back into her handbag before striding out of the building. She needs to get more revolvers just in case. She groaned at the few male workers orgling at her as she slides into the driving seat of her masserati. She needs to be just in time to receive the clientsing at noon. Mixing business with pleasure is what she¡¯d never do. She sighs before igniting the engine and driving out.


    *****


    ¡°Wee to Diamond corps sirs .. my boss would join you soon¡± Wayne smiles at the team of clients Selene was to meet up with. From their appearance they were not the regr kind of clientele. Could be this is their first time. Wayne stepped out of the conference room and pulled out his phone. It¡¯s over an hour and Selene hasn¡¯t arrived. He puts a call across her and she picks up at the first ring.


    ¡°Wayne, are they at the office now?¡± She blurts out immediately. Wayne puffs out cos of the noisy background


    ¡°Yeah boss¡­ where are you, they seem to be in a hurry¡± He hear her cuss lowly.


    ¡°Shit!¡­ I¡¯m stuck in a goddamn traffic!¡­.¡± She groans. Wayne rakes his hand at his hair. Why did she have to leave the office, she should have attended to the meeting first if it was that important!.


    ¡°What¡¯s the time estimate that you¡¯d get here?¡± Wayne says and walks to his desk.


    ¡°It¡¯s insane but it¡¯s an hour drive from where I am!¡± She mutters in exasperation. Wayne groans. For fuck sake!, they don¡¯t even look like they¡¯d wait for ten minutes. Wayne rakes his hand at his hair and sighs.


    ¡°I could sit in for you then¡­¡± He suggests.


    ¡°Huh!?¡­. that¡¯s totally impossible you don¡¯t know a thing about the contract!¡± Wayne prevents himself from chuckling. Diamond corps deals majorly in textiles and other small productions too. Hell, he¡¯s well familiar with textiles.


    ¡°Just send me the briefing of whatever thing you¡¯re gonna discuss with them, leave the rest to me¡± He tells her. There was a short silence.


    ¡°I¡¯d hate to lose this contract Wayne¡­. are you sure you can handle this?¡­ I mean I could talk to them to reschedule¡­¡±


    ¡°I¡¯d give it my best shot, it¡¯s a bad impression if you reschedule¡­ and you don¡¯t have an option boss¡± He expounds and she sighs.


    ¡°Alright, the files are in the office cab. It¡¯s a briefing on what you¡¯d be discussing. I¡¯d be counting on you Wayne¡­. I hope you don¡¯t let me down¡± She mutters and disconnects the call. Wayne chuckles and shoves the phone into his pocket. Maybe he could prove to her he wasn¡¯t some random guy. He was once a CEO of a number of firms and textiles had once been part of their products. He retrieves the file from her office and strides to the conference room. He steps in and they all look up at him from where they were seated. Wayne eyes roam around as he takes in the scene. It almost felt like he had gone back in time and he was standing in a conference as the CEO of his father¡¯spany. Wayne sighs lowly.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry to inform you that my boss is currently in a tight corner and wouldn¡¯t be able to make it¡­. I¡¯d be representing her¡­ my sincere apologies¡± Wayne starts as he watches their expressions, they looked slightly disappointed. They made a short hushed conversation between themselves before they smile in approval.


    ¡°I¡¯d see how well it goes.¡± Mr Coleman, The one that appears to be leader conceded and Wayne sighs in relief.


    ¡°Thanks for your co-operation¡± Wayne mutters as he ces the file on the desk. He rakes his hand at his hair as his eyes skimmed over the pages. Pretty easy. He could handle this fairly well, maybe better than she thinks. He shut the file close and walks to the projector to begin the conference.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.

    Selene steps out of the car hastily and shut the door close. God remind not to make such mistake again. She strides into thepany¡¯s building and rushes into the elevator, ignoring the stares she recieved from all corners. This contract was a huge one, she couldn¡¯t afford to lose it. She run her hand nervously down her hair as the elevator rides up. Miami¡¯s traffic is so fucked up. The door slides open and she steps out immediately, almost jogging to the conference room. She pushed it open immediately and steps in trying to catch her breath. She was obviouslyte as the clients were just finishing their snacks. Wayne was sitting beside their leader too. They looked up to stare at her with a t expression and Selene heart sank. She shouldn¡¯t have trusted Wayne.


    ¡°Hi Mr Coleman¡± She breathe out, a bit flustered as she exchanges handshake with their leader.


    ¡°I¡¯m so sorry for having toe thiste, traffic in this part of the city is so bad and I¡¯d hope we could reschedule another meeting¡­¡± she falters when she notices she¡¯s bbering.


    ¡°Huh¡­ miss Selene¡­ there¡¯s no need for that¡­ your partner here did a perfect job and I¡¯m d to give you this contract¡± He gives her a big smile and the rests nods thier head in approval. Selene head was almost spinning in with excitement and surprise. He fuckin did it, saved her ass from shame.


    ¡°Uh¡­ Oh¡­. yeah, I¡¯m happy you were impressed¡­. Wayne has actually been a reliable secretary¡± She smiles and run her palm down her hair.

 CHAPTER 21

    ¡°So I¡¯d email the rest of the deal to you¡­. have a nice day miss Selene¡­. I¡¯m d our journey wasn¡¯t in vain¡± He tells her as they begin to pack up. Selene gaze wanders to Wayne¡¯s. He holds the door open for them and they stride out. she noticed he had a proud smirk on his face. She chews on her lower lip and waits for the five team of clients to leave. He shuts the door and turns to meet Selene who was still shocked.


    ¡°Wayne!¡­.¡± She blurts out and walked up to him.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    ¡°Yes boss¡­. are you probably gonna taint me again?¡± He smirked and Selene could almost feel her heart explode with joy.


    ¡°Hell no!¡­ thanks so much!¡­. this¡­ this means a lot!, thanks¡± She squeak out. she hesitates a second before she blinks, throwing her arms happily around him..


    Wayne seems startled for a moment as she hugs him, he hesitates a second before his arms wrapped around her. Her soft silky hair tickled his chin and he breathes in the delicate fragrance of her cologne. Hugging her felt like holding a porcin, delicate and fragile too. Selene regains herposure and steps back hastily realising what she had just done. Wayne stares at her, her cheeks flushed.


    For one he won¡¯t forget how she felt in his arms, she¡¯s got a fiery deameanor but when her delicate frame was pressed against his, he realized she was just the normal kind ofdy.


    ¡°Umm¡­ I¡¯m sorry¡­. I¡­. just got too excited¡± She stuttered, tucking her hair back to her ears.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to apologize boss¡­ it¡¯s your way of thanking me¡­ ¡± He smirks down at her and her blush deepens. She bats hershes and grab her handbag from the table.


    ¡°I¡­ I¡¯d just get back to my office¡­¡± She says and brush past him, striding out of the room. Wayne chuckles, shakes his head and follows suit.


    Selene ms her office door shut and plonked down the single sofa. She groaned loudly, palming her temple in embarrassment. Jeez Selene!¡­ when did you ever do huggies! her subconscious screams as she kicked off her heels and slid her feet into her slipons. She¡¯s never hugged a guy, and hugging Wayne made her feel so safe. The manly scent of his aftershave still clung to her. If given the chance she would have stayed in his arms much longer than that. She blew out a breath and stalked to her swivel. She doesn¡¯t know what to make of her feelings anymore. One moment she¡¯s mad at him, the next her heart is beating wildly and she could barely control it. Selene itches her hair and smiles when she remembers the contract. She had badly wanted that contract. Working for the Chicago clients would open a lot of opportunities for thepany, and it was just what she wanted.


    Wayne hadn¡¯t disappointed her and if anything she was d he was her secretary. But how the heck did he know so much about textile. She knot her brows as curiosity sets in. She had mentally rehearsed what she would say at the meeting and Wayne had done that within minutes. Selene taps her finger continuously on the table as curiosity got the best of her.


    She¡¯s just gonna watch the CCTV footage of the conference. She needs to know just how good he is. What he presented to have made them ept the contract. Picking up the office telephone she punched in some numbers, putting a call across the security department.

    ¡°Gosh!¡­. I feel like shit!¡± Stacey groans as she slide into one of the counter stool. Melissa chuckles as she hands her a ss of water.


    ¡°I told you Stacey let Wayne be¡­. he¡¯s doesn¡¯t seem to fancy you¡± Melissa rolls her eyes.


    ¡°Shut up bitch¡± She cuss and chug down the water. Melissa chuckles and move to the worktable.


    ¡°So did you get to see Selene¡­. I kinda like her you know¡± She turns to wink at her. Stacey palm her cheeks and sigh lowly. She just can¡¯t believe Wayne would work for her. How did they get to know each other.


    ¡°You know what Stacey I think Selene fancies him, they would pass for a perfect couple¡± Melissa taunts as she diced the cabbage.


    ¡°And what makes you think so!¡± She snarls. Melissa drops the knife and turns, leaning against the worktable.


    ¡°Look I saw a video some time ago in those gossip pages.. She abandoned her date to meet up with him in the same restaurant. It turns out Wayne declined whatever thing she told him and left her¡± She shrugs as Stacey gasps.


    ¡°Holy shit!¡­ that means only one thing Mel!¡­ Wayne doesn¡¯t fancy her!¡± She breathe out happily. Melissa scoffs.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be too sure girlfriend¡­ Selene is an handful. I don¡¯t think anyone can resist her for long¡± She roll her eyes and turn back to what she was doing. The smile leaves Stacey face, and she clenched her teeth in anger. That can¡¯t be true. Wayne can¡¯t suddenly decide to date Selene. He¡¯s just met her damnit!. She slide down the stool and huff.


    ¡°I¡¯d be up in my room Mel¡­ That bitch would be home anytime soon¡­ I¡¯m not ready for her psychotic attitude¡± She mutter tiredly and grab her purse.


    ¡°Did I just hear you call me bitch?¡± Zoey voice out as she appears at the doorway. Mel cackles loudly and Stacey groans, slumping back to the stool in exasperation.


    Selene watched the CCTV footage of Wayne¡¯s presentation for the umpeenth time. She¡¯s been stuck in her office since noon and she couldn¡¯t stop watching it. His presentation was more than perfect. She blew out a breath and m theptop shut. She shouldn¡¯t stare too much. The door opens and Gwen steps in with a tray of coffee and cookies.


    ¡°Hey ma¡¯am¡­ I figured out you might need this. You¡¯ve been stuck to that chair for hours¡± Gwen grins as she ces the tray in front of her. Selene smiles gratefully, muttering a thanks as she bits into one.


    ¡°You look happy today¡­. it¡¯s about the contract you secured huh?¡± Gwen asks as she arranged the files on her desk.


    ¡°You got that right Gwen¡­. I¡¯m so freaking happy. I was so nervous about it¡­. it¡¯s a good thing Wayne handled it perfectly¡± She sighs.


    ¡°Yeah right¡­ I know. Everyone can¡¯t stop talking about the new hottie, and jeez his smile is killing!¡± Gwen winks and Seleneughs.


    ¡°Really Gwen¡­. Do you need to be told you¡¯re married?¡± Selene rolls her eyes yfully. Gwen shrugs a shoulder.


    ¡°I¡¯m just telling you as it is¡± She chuckles just as the door opens. Selene bites down at her lips as Bill steps in. Gwen rolls her eyes and straighten up. She¡¯s always hated Bill clingy attitude towards Selene and Mrs grace. Hell!¡­ she knew he had liked Mrs grace from the onset.


    ¡°I¡¯d just get going ma¡¯am¡± She says and brush past him. Selene nced at her watch. Jeez!¡­ She didn¡¯t realise time was far spent.


    ¡°So how was the conference¡­ trust you handled it perfectly?¡± Bill smiles as he stalks to the couch. He couldn¡¯t keep out the anger he felt when he saw wayne sitting at his desk. How the heck did he move from embarrassing her to working for her!?.


    ¡°Huh?¡­ contract¡­ sure it was perfect¡­¡± Selene fakes a smile. Bill nods slowly, It hurt him to see Selene wasn¡¯t close to him anymore. He had almost lost it when she announced to him that he won¡¯t be following her to the office. And he was sure it boils down to the fact that she employed the new secretary¡­ Zayne perhaps. But he made a promise to Mrs Grace that he¡¯d protect her ande what may, he¡¯d stick to his promise.


    ¡°Are you ready to leave now?¡± Bill says, pushing out his thoughts.


    ¡°Yeah sure¡­ go get the car ready, I¡¯d be down in a minute¡± Selene smiles at him and he nods, ambling out of the office.


    ¡°Damn!¡­ when did he get so clingy!¡± Selene groans as she picked up her handbag and stride out of the office.


    ¡°Leaving already?¡± Wayne asks as Selene steps out of her office. Selene itches her hair, still embarrassed at the incident.


    ¡°Umm¡­. Yeah, and thanks once again¡± She forces a smile and walked hastily towards the elevator. As she punched the button, she could swear he was staring at her with his mouth turned down in a smirk¡­ Fuck!.


    *****


    ¡°What¡¯s up with this annoying traffic Bill!?¡± Selene grits, running her fingers through her hair. Traffic in this part of the city could be annoying atimes.


    ¡°There¡¯s a road block ahead Selene¡­. some parts of the road is under construction¡± Bill replies as he taps his finger at the steering.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t there other routes that could lead into the main road¡­. I¡¯m stressed Bill¡± She voice out wearily.


    ¡°Sure there is, but it¡¯s gonna take longer¡± He drives forward as the traffic moves.


    ¡°Then take it already!¡± She caterwauled. Bill spares her a nce, wondering why she is suddenly cranky. He sighs and nods.


    ¡°Alright¡­¡±


    *


    Selene leans back in her seat as Bill drives. She had no idea why she was suddenly angry. Maybe it was because she seems to be loosing a grip on herself whenever she¡¯s around Wayne. He¡¯s always got this intimidating smirk on his face. She roll her eyes and looked down at the ring. The ring suited her perfectly and it was though it was made just for her. Selene caresses the ring and stare out of the tainted window. She watch people zip past as Bill drives smoothly. Her eyes stops on this huge club with it¡¯s well lit entrance and her heartbeat seems to stop for a second.


    ¡°Bill!¡­ pull over¡± She rasp and he does so immediately. She stared at the club entrance with dted eyes, fisting her palm and trying to steady her ragged breathing. The same club she visited when she was this scaredy girl looking for college fees¡­ the same club she was raped in.


    ______

 CHAPTER 22

    ¡°Are you alright?¡± Bill asks in concern as he nced at her through the rear view mirror. She had suddenly gone pale. Selene tears her eyes away from the club entrance to stare at Bill.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    ¡°Step out of the car¡± She says coldly.


    ¡°Huh? what do you mean?¡± Bill asks in surprise.


    ¡°Get out of the fvckin car and take a cab home, right now!¡± She snarls, eyes zed over as she locked gaze with him.


    Bill sees the death look on her face and nods hastily, already scared. Goodness why the the heck is she this way!?. She¡¯d make you love and fear her altogether. Bill unstraps his belt and steps out, mming the door shut. He ran his hand down his face and stared at the tainted window before shaking his head and walking away.


    Selene hung her head low and breathe in slowly. She had thought money could make her happy, thought she could get past the stigma of the rape. And although she¡¯s been healed, the memory still stuck to her like a leach, upying her mind and making her insane. She returned her gaze back to the club entrance. Right now she needed someone, to cling onto and pour out the tears she¡¯s been bottling up for so long. Needed someone to love her and maybe take her out of this mess she¡¯s stuck in. But she¡¯s far gone now, she couldn¡¯t back off. She¡¯d concentrate on taking revenge on those who had hurt her¡­ and help those who are just as miserable as she is.


    Wiping off her tears, she steps out of the car and opens the trunk. She pull out a backpack and returned into the car. Zipping it open, she pull out a loaded revolver and hoodie. She don it on and stuff the gun into the pocket off her hoodie. She kicked off her heels and slide her feet into a pair of flip flops. Selene takes out a dagger and strap it to her thighs. Now she looks like some random girl meeting up with her lover in the club. Selene steps out and strides to the club. She doesn¡¯t know what she¡¯s doing here but she¡¯s just hoping she could see any of those motherfvckers. She hung her head low and tug at the hoodie cap so it could conceal her identity. She step into the club and the red flickering lights shone on her. The music is so loud she could barely think. Selene ambles to the bar and sit on one of the high stools.


    ¡°White wine¡± She tells the barman, avoiding eye contact. The tatted barman nods and turn to fix the drink. Selene eyes roams around the club, checking every single corner of therge club but there are lots of men. She couldn¡¯t just stalk to every booth to search for them. She cuss under her breath and takes the drink the barman hands her. She sip at it slowly as she continue feasting her eyes on the club. Why couldn¡¯t she find any of those guys, why is it taking her so long to take revenge on those that hurt her. One thing she¡¯s sure of she wouldn¡¯t let any of them go off the hook, they¡¯d pay dearly with their lives. She smiled sadly when her eyes stops on a blonde waitress serving drinks and smiling fakely. Yeah, she could tell she¡¯s faking that smile. To tell the world ¡®Hey I¡¯m fine¡¯ even if you aren¡¯t. Her eyes follows the blondie as she serves drinks.


    Dammit she had acted impromptu. Did she really expect to see any of them here, could be they aren¡¯t regrs.


    She huff and chug down the drink. She slid a couple of dor bills across the counter and slide down the stool. It was a wasted effort. But she¡¯d keep visiting the club. She¡¯s certain she¡¯s gonna find a link to them. She ambled towards the exit and had barely gone out when she stops in her tracks. She tilt her head sideways to see the blondie serving a couple of guys clustering around a table. The girl looks pissed as she poured wine into their sses. Soon one of them was trailing his palm on her waist. It happened so fast, blondie ms the the wine ss on his head and Selene gasps.


    Everyone is obviously staring as the rest guys scramble to their feet. It was then she saw them clearly. Cold shiver run down her spine as she takes a look at each and every one of them. Five in number. She had once served them, and they had once taken advantage of her. Raped and beaten her without mercy. They had also dumped her almost lifeless body in a fvckin dumpsite!.


    Selene watched as the manager stalks to them and the next thing he¡¯s yelling at her. she wipe her cheeks before taking off her apron and storming towards the exit. Selene gives way as the girl run out in tears. She couldn¡¯t be mistaken, those guys, the way theyughed was what she couldn¡¯t forget. She step out of the restaurant already feeling dizzy. How could she take them down. They were five in number. All she had was a gun and dagger.


    Minutester they are walking out of the club and Selene hungs her head low as she watch them. They seem to be searching for the girl. One of them cusses and they got into a ck lexus jeep and drive out.


    Her heart thumped against her chest and she rushed into her car and ignite the engine, trailing after them. She had this sickening feeling that they were after the girl. And she couldn¡¯t let that happen again. She¡¯d save the girl. She grip to the steering before stepping on the gas.


    Selene slows down as she watch the car in front of her. She had trailed them for five minutes and had watched everything happen. They had caught up with the girl and had shoved her into the car before she could know what¡¯s happening. Now they were in a almost deserted street.


    The car pulls over at arge abandoned warehouse and she watch as the door opens. They step out with the girl and she¡¯s unconscious. Selene unstraps her belt as they walk into the warehouse. It felt like she was the blondie, trying to earn some cash and now those a*sholes were about to sabotage that. She got out and shut the door before trailing after them. They¡¯re used cans strewn across the entrance and she carefully made her way in. Their cackles ofughter drifted towards her and the shivers return. What if she can¡¯t do this, what if they rape her and kill her for good. She push out the thoughts immediately and fist her palms. They were in arge musky room. Selene leans against the wall beside the door and peeked inside. They all had their backs to her and she hears a loud thud, then the faint groans from the girl. She slid her hand into her pocket and pull out the gun. A p follows and the girl is whimpering.


    ¡°Trying to act all sassy huh!¡± One of them growls. Selene shuts her eyes briefly. Gawd! She wrapped her arm around the trigger and prepared to storm in. She stopped when she heard the guy words.


    ¡°You see, we do that to every single bitch who tries to y hard to get. We fvcked them pretty good and trust me baby, they don¡¯t live to tell the tale¡± He sneers and the rest burst into aughing spree.


    ¡°Please guys, don¡¯t do this, I¡¯ve got a kid brother and he¡¯s all I have¡± She croak out. Selene blinks away her own tears.


    ¡°You got that wrong guys I lived to tell the tale¡± Selene says as she step in. It happened so fast. She shoots at the guy with the bruised temple and he falls to the floor. The rest turns immediately and before they could blink she shoots another two right at their heads and they drop down dead. Two left. She smirks at them and switch the gun to her right palm.


    ¡°Who the fvck are you!¡± One groans as he rush towards her. She kicked him hard and shoots him where the sun doesn¡¯t shine. He groans loudly and falls to the floor. She¡¯s is breathing hard as the one left hits her square hard on the mouth.


    ¡°How dare you!¡± He growls and punched her again. Selene doubles over as she chokes. He kicks the gun from her hand and shove her hard against the wall, pulling out his gun and pressing it to her forehead.


    ¡°One single move and you¡¯re dead!¡± He growls and cocks the gun. Selene gasps for breath as he wrapped his fingers tightly around her neck. He push the hoodie off and shock crosses his features.


    ¡°Selene!¡± He mutters lowly, trailing his eyes down to her bloody mouth. ¡°What the heck is the richest sexy bitch doing here!¡±. He blurts out in surprise. Tears blurrs her vision and her breathing is ragged. The blondie who was tied up whimpers fearfully.


    ¡°Holy fvckin jeez!¡± He whistled again.


    ¡°Let her go¡­ and have me¡± She says icily. The guy cocks his brows and Selene sees a small tattoo on his neck. Fvck!.


    ¡°Are you some sort of undercover cop¡­. you¡¯re too sexy to be one!¡± He drawled huskily. Selene cuss under her breath and lock gaze with him. He stared back and she smirk as she began to chant lowly. The gun drops from his hand as he parts his lips, gasping for breath.


    ¡°Fvckin cunt!¡± She grits and pull out the dagger, stabbing him on the neck and breaking eye contact. He gasp for breath and staggered back. She punched him hard on the face and pick up the revolver.


    ¡°Too bad you won¡¯t live to tell your own fvckin tale!¡± She snarls and pull the trigger. He dropped to his knees and falls face t to the floor. Selene wipes her mouth and spit out blood, dammit!


    Her eyes stop on the girl who was bundled up at a coner in the room. She shuts her eyes when she sees a bullet wound on her arm. Selene stalks to her and loosen the ropes.


    ¡°Th¡­ thanks so much Selene!¡± She croaks and stagger to her feet. Her left eye is bruised and her mouth has a split. She ce a palm over the bullet wound and sobs.


    ¡°We needed cash to feed I and my darling little brother¡­ he¡¯s all I¡¯ve got¡­. I just needed the money¡­ I wanted no damn trouble¡± She sobs as she hugs herself. She¡¯s damn beautiful with freckles on her face and a small mouth. Her skin is tanned and the gown she wore has been ripped off in several ces. She looks sixteen. Selene wipes at her cheek and nods sadly.


    ¡°Yeah!¡­ I know the feeling quite alright¡± She whispered sadly and cupped her cheeks. She liked the girl at that moment. Maybe its cos she has once been in this situation.


    ¡°But now¡­ this is gonna be the end of it, you¡¯d have all the money you ever wanted¡± The girl looks up at her. Selene smiles and shut her eyes. Maybe it was time to use her powers to heal.


    She chants lowly as the girl stares at her closed eyes in awe. Who ever knew Selene had powers!. She was amongst those girls who loved her. She bats hershes as the bullet falls out. Her heart thumped against her chest in surprise and fear. She watched with her very own eyes as all the bruises suddenly begins to heal. She felt something cold pressed against her cheeks, probably a ring. Selene sucks in her breath and pull away weakly. The girl looked down herself. No bruises, no cuts¡­. and no pains. What the fvck did she do!.


    ¡°Now you¡¯ve seen it¡­. you¡¯ve seen me use my powers. You aren¡¯t gon¡¯ tell any godamn soul or I¡¯d find you, and kill you. Do you want that!?¡± Selene grits out. She shakes her head hastily


    ¡°No I don¡¯t .. I promise not to tell it to the ants too¡± She whispered fearfully, staring at the dead bodies around.


    ¡°Good girl!¡± She smiled. ¡°Now let¡¯s get the hell out of here.¡±


    ¡°Huh?¡­ aren¡¯t the cops gonna find you?¡± She asks fearfully. Selene rolls her eyes and stalk to one of the men. She tilts his head and points at the tattoo on his neck.


    ¡°That¡¯s an omerta, they belong to some fvckin mob gang¡­. that¡¯s enough evidence to drop the case¡­. now can we go!¡± She straighten up and re at the girl. She smiles and nods.


    ¡°I think so¡± She giggled and stalked out of the room. Selene rolls her eyes and follow suit. They got out and walk to their car.


    ¡°What we gonna do with this?¡± The blondie asks as she jabs her thumb at the Lexus. Selene groans internally. She¡¯s a curious cat darn it. She throws the passenger door open and look around the car. A small bag and revolver was on the backseat. She picks it and open it, widening her eyes at the several dor bundles tucked in neatly. Selene chuckles lowly. She m the door shut and turn to the girl.


    ¡°Here¡¯s about a million dors for your trouble. It¡¯s yours now¡­ you earned it. Go far away with your kid brother. Start a new life, without having to worry about cash¡± The girl gasps as she takes it and peeked into it.


    ¡°What if the rest of the gang finds out¡­ they are gonnae after me¡± She says and look around.


    ¡°Alright give it back¡­ ¡± She stretch out her palm . She shakes her head immediately.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay¡­ I¡¯d keep it¡± she grins and hug it to herself.


    ¡°I know you¡¯re smart¡­ go now¡­¡± Selene says with a sad smile. She blinks.


    ¡°I wasn¡¯t wrong about you¡­ you¡¯re damn kind¡­. and a little bit sassy¡± She mutters and grins. Selene chuckles.


    ¡°I don¡¯t think so girlie¡­ now enough of the chat, get going now¡± She says sternly and poked her. She nods and surprises her by pulling her into a hug. Tears slid down Selene¡¯s cheek as she hugs her back. She pull away secondster and her eyes are blurry with tears. She turns about to run off but Selene holds her arm.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you gonna tell your name¡± She asks with an eye roll. The girl grins widely.


    ¡°Ava¡­. I¡¯m Ava Gonzalez¡± She mutters with proud smirk.

 CHAPTER 23

    ¡°Ava Gonzalez¡­. cute name¡± Shepliments and let go of her. Ava blushes and grip at the bag of cash.


    ¡°Bye Selene ¡­¡± She whispers and turn, running into the shadows, her blonde hair whipping sideways. Selene watch her leave with a weak smile and for the thousandth time she was d she¡¯s an Enchantress.


    *****


    Wayne rolled out of bed groggily and trudged to the bathroom. Washing up, he return back to the room and dressed up in a casual body fitting shirt and cks. Hebed out his hair and sat on the bed. Pulling out a coffee colored jewelry box, he opens it and stare at the two diamond encrusted rings nestled on the small red cloth. He ran his hand through his hair and sighed.


    It was the only memory of their once blissful life. Belonging to Greg and Susan. No matter how he tried he couldn¡¯t bring himself to auction it, even though it¡¯s gonna cost a huge sum of money. Sometimes you just can¡¯t let go of somethings no matter the value. He shut it close immediately as the door burst open and a flustered looking Fiona steps in.


    ¡°Wayne!¡­ Doc Mac called. it¡¯s mom¡± She breath out, her face ghostly pale. Wayne shoves the box away, fearing the worst.


    ¡°Come on let¡¯s get to the hospital. Don¡¯t panic¡± He reassures her and they rushed out of the apartment.


    The cab pulls over at the hospital and they step out, Fiona eyes flooded in tears. Mom should be strong for them. Wayne had told her to believe had she¡¯s done just so. They stride into the hallway leading into the wards. Fiona peeks her head into Susan¡¯s ward and it¡¯s empty. Panic settled in the pit of her stomach as he stared at Wayne. A nurse approaches them and Fiona wipes of her tears.


    ¡°Morning Wayne, the doctor said to tell you your mom has been transferred to another ward. They started the surgery already.¡± The nurse informs as she smiles up at Wayne. Fiona plonks down the bench as huge relief washed over her. Wayne sighs and nods, ignoring the flirty looks she was giving him.


    ¡°If you need anything, my table is just down the hall¡± She jab her thumb to the direction and Wayne manages a smile.


    ¡°No we¡¯re fine thanks¡± He tells her and lowered himself beside fiona. The nurse let out a low groan and strides away.


    ¡°Seriously, this is themest time to flirt dammit!¡± Fiona cusses immediately. Wayne chuckles and pulls her close to himself.


    ¡°You said mom¡¯s gonna get through this huh?¡± Fiona asks lowly as she lolled against his shoulder.


    ¡°Yeah¡­ and I believe so too. Do you believe that?¡± He asks lowly. Fiona shut her eyes and sighs. She didn¡¯t know what to believe anymore.


    ¡°Yeah¡­ I do believe mom would get through this. Then she¡¯d be back on her feet like before.¡± Tears pool at her eyes and she wiped them off.


    ¡°That¡¯s good Fiona¡­ now I¡¯d just call my boss and inform her that I¡¯d beingter in the day.¡±


    He pushed to his feet and stalks away. Fiona watches as he leaves. She might have lost all the good things in life. Money, a huge house, lots of food and expensive dresses, but she was d she still had Wayne and her mom with her. And that was the only thing they needed to stay happy. settlingfortably on the seat, her mind drifted to Selene. She owe her a lot for paying all thier mom bills and once Susan gets through this, She¡¯d let Susan know about her.

    Selene ms the receiver back into its ce in anger. Fvck!. She¡¯s just spoken to Wayne and it angered her that he wouldn¡¯t being till noon. Hell Selene have some conscience, he¡¯s doing this for his mom!, her subconscious screams and she groaned.


    Alright she understands he needs to be at the hospital but why can¡¯t she stop getting angry. Maybe its because he didn¡¯t seem like someone who¡¯s been thinking of her. Tried as she could, Wayne green eyes, tousled hair and lean muscr frame has being upying her mindtely. She wondered how he¡¯d feel when he was buried deep inside her, how he¡¯d taste. Was she ever gonna aplish her ns to get into bed with him. She doesn¡¯t see herself doing that anytime soon. Not with his proud attitude. The door opens and Gwen steps in.


    ¡°Ma¡¯am, a client is here to see you¡± She tells her, watching Selene angry features in concern. She wasn¡¯t blind. She could tell it¡¯s because of Wayne. She can¡¯t help but notice Selene¡¯s attraction towards him. Wayne is obviously a hot piece of eye candy, and they seem the perfect couple.


    ¡°Do I have an appointment with him?¡± She asks listlessly. Gwen had filled in for Wayne when she noticed he hadn¡¯t arrived, he was always so punctual at work and Gwen wondered if he ever gets enough sleep.


    ¡°No ma¡¯am¡­ he said he just got into the country, he appears to be a rich client ma¡¯am Selene¡­. maybe you should hear him out first.¡± Gwen advices.


    ¡°Fine let him in¡± She sighs in defeat. Gwen smiles and stride out of the door. Selene smoothens down her hair and slipped her feet into her ts. The door opens minutester and the client steps in.


    ¡°Wee to mypany sir¡± Selene feigns a small smile as the guy stalks towards the table and sits across her.


    ¡°You didn¡¯t disappoint me Selene, you are fvckin sexy just like in the pictures, good morning.¡± He says huskily as Selene watched him in disgust. She takes in his appearance as something clicked into ce. She knot her brows and opens the lid of herptop. She types a name on the and secondster a picture pops on her screen. Selene looks at the picture and back to the man sitting across her. A cold rush went down her spine. Hell, it was too quick. She never expected to see another of her rapists so soon. Selene forces herself to remain calm as she shut theptop close. She curl her toes to calm her nerves and gives him a tight lipped smile.


    ¡°Hi, Mr Hank¡­¡±


    ??????


    Stacey stares at Zach as hebs out his hair. Thankfully he wasn¡¯t drunk and was totally normal unlike thest time.


    ¡°Do you realise what you¡¯re doing is totally not good for yourpany?. You worked so hard to bring thepany up to this standard and you¡¯re gonna let it go down the drain because of some freaking sexy girl!?¡± Stacey blurts out as she leans against the doorframe of the ensuite bathroom. Zach grunts and drops theb back into its case before smoothening it down. His eyes held tiredness and he had gone a little bit pale.


    ¡°She caused it Stace, don¡¯t me me.¡± Zach shrugs as he brush past her into his office. Stacey groans and trail after him.


    ¡°Shut the fvck up Zachary. You caused all these. What did you expect from her¡­ another night?, or probably your permanent mpiece?, Dammit Zach stop acting like a dumbass¡±


    Stacey rolls her eyes and stalk to the cab. She retrieves a bottle or ros¨¦ and a ss before going over to a couch to sit.


    Zach slumps into his seat and sighs. Why his he such a fool. He lost Selene and Wayne too and now he¡¯s about to lose hispany.


    He never imagined he¡¯d be stuck in such a huge mess. No matter how he tried, he couldn¡¯t stop thinking of Selene, their long hot s¡êx they had and the insatiable urge he¡¯s developed afterwards.


    ¡°Zach¡­ you¡¯ve got to stop whatever obsession you have for her!. Wayne needs to return to working here and there are thousands of bitches out there. Why do you have to be hell-bent on having Selene!?.¡± She shakes her head and gulped down her drink.


    ¡°I wish I could Stace, but I find it hard to do so. She¡¯s seeded in upying my mind. I don¡¯t wanna say this but when I was beneath her and she rode on me, I could swear there was this look in her eyes¡­. like she was sure I wouldn¡¯t ever get over her. I couldn¡¯t break the eye contact till she did and then i knew whatever look she gave me worked. I can¡¯t stop thinking about her¡­ and I don¡¯t think I ever will¡­¡± Zach falters and run his palm down his face.


    Stacey dtes her eyes as she dropped the ss of ros¨¦. Maybe he was just bbering but she had this gut feeling that he was saying the truth.


    She too had her doubts about Selene. She¡¯s pretty and rich quite alright but why are there lots of guys craving for her?, What rtionship does she have with Mrs grace to have made her will her properties in her name?. And what¡¯s the reason behind this crazy obsession tons of guys have for her!?. Stacey shakes her head and stare at Zach.


    ¡°I think you¡¯re right Zach, she did something to you, and whatever she did sounds evil¡± Stacey voice out, a thoughtful expression on her face.


    Fiona watches the surgical room for the umpeenth time as nurses rushed in and out continuously. Wayne had left to get lunch and Fiona couldn¡¯t be anymore scared. Her butt aches from sitting too long on the seat. She hugged herself as she reasurred herself that her mom¡¯s gonna be fine. She fiddled with the pendant she wore. Her dad gifted it to her on her fifteenth birthday. Wayne appears beside her and he drops the takeout.


    ¡°Fiona¡­. are you alright?¡± He asks in concern, squatting in front of her and gripping her shoulders. Her face had lost its color and she was catching a cold already.


    ¡°I don¡¯t think I am Wayne, we¡¯ve been here for hours and no news about mom.¡± She sniff back a tear as Wayne blews out a breath.


    ¡°Come on Fiona we talked about this already.¡± He coos as he sits and puts an arm around her.


    ¡°I know but I¡¯m just so sc¡­.¡± She trails off as the door opens again and Doctor Mac steps out. He pulls out his gloves and mask and pass it to a nurse. Fiona scrambled to her feet and rushes to him. Her heart mmed against her chest at his expression. It said it all. Fiona bats hershes as the tears fall out.


    ¡°No!¡­. this can¡¯t be¡± She croak out, cing her palm against her mouth.

 CHAPTER 24

    Wayne appears beside Fiona and puts an arm around her as she shivers. He stares at Doc Mac and it took him a second to realise a small smile tugged at his lips.


    ¡°You should talk to your sister. She shouldn¡¯t jump into conclusions next time, the surgery was sessful and your mom Is perfectly fine.¡± Doctor Mac watches as Fiona lifts her head to stare at him, a huge wave of happiness overwhelming her.


    ¡°Oh my gee!¡­.¡± Fiona screams and flew into the doctor¡¯s arms.


    ¡°Thanks so much doctor, thank you!¡± She gurgled in excitement. Doc Mac ruffles her hair as heughs.


    ¡°Wayne!¡­ mom made it through¡± Fiona says breathlessly as she withdraws and threw her arms around him. Wayne chuckles as he hugs her back. Damn!, this was the best news ever. He hadn¡¯t wanted to dwell on the fact that his mom wouldn¡¯t make it through. Truly, believing was the ultimate.


    ¡°Doc!¡­. can I go see her now!?¡± Fiona asks in excitement, barely keeping her voice down.


    ¡°Well you can, but until she¡¯s wheeled into the ward.¡± Fiona grins at his words.


    ¡°Alright thanks so much Doc.¡± Wayne beams as they exchange handshakes before he walks away.


    ¡°Wayne, I just can¡¯t believe it, mom¡¯s totally fine now. She¡¯d be able to talk, walk properly and she can also cook tasty meals for us. That¡¯s damn exciting Wayne¡± Fiona bbered on as they return to the seat to wait on the doctor.


    Yeah, it¡¯s totally exciting, but all this boils down to the fact that Selene had helped. A small smile tugged at his lips as he remembers her deliberate attempts to unleash her anger on him. Ladies like that could act tough but can be so fragile on the inside. Fiona jolts him out of his thoughts as she scrambles up just as a nurse approaches them.


    ¡°Umm, Wayne the doctor said you can go see her now, and try to keep your excitement low¡± She gives Wayne a small flirty smile.. Fiona groans and strides hastily in the direction of the ward. Wayne fakes a smile and follows Fiona. Whatever Selene had done, he was damn grateful. Fiona made the right decision in asking her for help. He grins as Fiona turns the door knob leading into the ward and suck in her breath, her eyes stopping on their conscious mom.


    Stacey walks into the living room to find Zoey making out on the couch with a dark skinned guy. The guy looks embarrassed as he withdraws immediately.


    ¡°Eeww guys!, you two should get a room already!.¡± She groans as Zoey giggles.


    ¡°Sorry Stace but I couldn¡¯t wait.¡± She breathe out as they resume kissing.


    ¡°Gross!¡± She mutter with an eyeroll and make her way to her room. she m the door shut wearily and drop her bag on the bed. Gulping down a ss of water from the nightstand, Stacey retrieves herptop and sits at her study table.


    Unfortunately she couldn¡¯t get what Zach had said out of her mind. If anything she was more curious. She booths it on and fiddle continuously with her long red hair. She needs to look into her background. Who she really was before she became famous. Does she have a family or probably a boyfriend. Thousands of questions run though her mind as she types out Selene¡¯s name on the.


    She fixed her gaze on the screen as Selene pictures pops up. Stacey let out a low sigh. How could someone be this beautiful!?. Perfect curvy figure with the most prettiest face. She scroll through the pictures till she gets to the articles about her.


    She read every single article, paying attention to the details. After an hour of fruitless search, she tears her gaze from theptop and massages her temple.. Jeez!, this was a waste of time. What did she expect to see!. She pushes theptop away and swung her legs out of the bed. She stride to the bathroom and washed her face clean. She returns to the room with Selene still upying her mind. She missed Wayne. working for selene had prevented her from seeing him often and it sucks. She walked to the ss windows that overlooked the city and sigh.


    Once she did considered her feelings for Wayne as lust and infatuation but not now. She didn¡¯t enjoy being with guys that much. She¡¯s known Wayne ever since he started working for Zachary, and that¡¯s a year and half ago. It was his smile, killer looks and sturdy built that had sent her feelings on fire. Now that fire seems to kindle and lights more fiercely. Stacey runs her hand down her hair and return to the bed. She stare at theptop in frustration. She cocked her brows as an idea pops on her mind. She never did searched about Mrs Grace. She sighed and pulled theptop closer. She typed on it and it pops up immediately. Pictures of her funeral floods her screen. Too bad, she was a good woman and didn¡¯t deserve to die young. She lean against the headboard and continues poring over the articles. Minutester she stops scrolling as she sees a picture of Mrs Grace and Damian her divorced husband in an event. They were damn cute. Why the heck did he leave his wife.


    Mrs grace was just too pretty to have been divorced. She trail her gaze down her expensive outfit and her eyes stops on her palm. She doesn¡¯t misses the rings on her fingers. Only one looks familiar, Stacey furrows her brows and types Selene¡¯s name again. She stares at one of the pictures and there, that same ring.


    ¡°Bingo!.¡± She mentally high five herself, this just got interesting.


    ¡Á????¡Á


    Wayne arrives at the office just before closing hours. Dammit, he was too happy speaking with his mom that he had forgotten about work. Selene would probably be brewing in anger.


    ¡°Hey Gwen.¡± He greeets as he steps out of the elevator.


    ¡°Where in the world have you been handsome!?.¡± Gwen says with a smile


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry Gwen but I had to attend to a lot of personal stuffs. How about boss?¡± He jabs his thumb at her office entrance.


    ¡°Arrgh!, she¡¯s almost leaving, and she seems really angry. I think it¡¯s because of some clients she talked with hours ago. A Mr Hank I guess. Do your best not to trigger it¡± She grins and he sighs.


    ¡°Thanks¡­ for filling in for me.¡± He smiles in appreciation.


    ¡°Oh it¡¯s nothing.¡± She shrugs and return back to herptop. Wayne rakes his hand at his hair just as the door opens. They lock gaze and he saw anger shed through her eyes. Only it was more raw, more deep.


    ¡°Evening boss, I guess I have a lot of exnation to do.¡± He shove his palm deep into his cks, noticing how pretty she looked. Her wavy ck hair was framing her face, and the ck dress she wore did little to hide her curvy figure.


    ¡°I¡¯ve an appointment Wayne¡­ and you¡¯d drive, I think that¡¯s a suitable time to exin.¡± She voice out and walks to the elevator. Gwen gives him the *I told you* look before he groans and follows her out. Minutester they were driving to wherever Selene date was.


    ¡°Look boss. I couldn¡¯t help it. I¡¯ve not been with my mom for days, and I guess you know how that feels¡± Wayne says after a long awkward silence. Selene chuckles.


    ¡°I don¡¯t think I know how it feels Wayne¡± She mutters, sadness barely concealed in her voice. Wayne cocks his brows but says nothing.


    ¡°And could you stop giving me that look, I¡¯m not angry at you a weeny bit¡± She rolls her eyes and Wayne couldn¡¯t help but chuckle.


    ¡°Mom got through the surgeries Selene, and I¡¯d be damned if I say I¡¯m not grateful¡­¡± Wayne gives her a look and she shrugs.


    ¡°I¡¯m d she¡¯s finally alright¡± She mutters listlessly and continues staring out of the window. If she wasn¡¯t angry at him, then who the fvck is she angry at. Wayne blew out a breathe. She¡¯s a wierdo anyways.


    Selene walks into the ineffable building owned by her next victim. Hell she was tired, she¡¯s barely gotten over the five she took down. That¡¯s why he was lucky, his death might not really be so painful. After promising she¡¯d meet up in a private apartment she had gone to purchase what she¡¯d use, a poison vial.


    This was wearing her out, the whole idea of revenging. But she couldn¡¯t back out just yet. She walks up the illuminated front porch and rings the doorbell. Wayne is about a street away waiting in the car. Somehow the thought of him driving her was consoling. The door opens and Mr Hank d in only boxer shorts is before her.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t know you were a punctual one¡­e in¡± Selene ignores the lustful looks he gives her and steps in


    ¡°Woah, you seem to have gone overboard to meet up with me, Mr Hank.¡± She says scornfully at the expensively furnished living room. of course he didn¡¯t notice the scorn in her voice. Fvckin dimwit. She sees the cab and strides towards it.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    ¡°I love expensive things Selene¡± He says and chortles. Selene pours drink into the wine sses and she brings out the vial, pouring the deadly liquid into it and sits it on the counter.


    ¡°So did you bring the cash I asked for?¡± She asks as she turns and walk up to him, handing him the poisoned ss of wine. He takes it and gulps some of it without a second hesitation.


    ¡°Here it is Selene¡± He points to a suitcase and she smiles.


    ¡°What do you feel right now?¡± She brush past him and walk to the suitcase and opens it. Neatly stacked dor bills arranged in rows. Good catch.


    ¡°Yeah, i feel hard down there Selene¡± He grins sheepishly.


    ¡°Nothing else?¡± She drops the wine ss on the table and stare at him. He¡¯s stopped grinning and stares at the almost finished wine in his hand.


    ¡°I feel a little bit strange¡­¡± He blurts out and staggers.


    ¡°Woah, that means whatever I dropped in there is quite deadly.¡± She smirks as he slumped down the couch.


    ¡°Rx, it¡¯s gonna take just a while and soon, you¡¯re on your way to hell¡± She says icily.


    ¡°y.. you poisoneed meee¡­¡± He chokes on his words and Selene nods.


    ¡°Yeah I did, and It¡¯s just like my powers, only more deadly, this one makes your insides burn. Imagine fire burning in you and you can¡¯t do anything cos you¡¯d be darn weak¡­ sounds fun right!¡±She sneers and walk back to the cab, grabbing the bottle of wine and drinking from it. He grips to the chair as he groans out painfully.


    ¡°Then, you find out you can¡¯t breathe, you¡¯re gonna struggle for breath and choke on it¡­. and soon you¡¯d be gone baby¡± She giggles and took another swig. He falls to the floor as an offensive odor emanates from his parted lips, the smell of death.


    ¡°I did¡­ nothing to you damn it¡± He croaks out with the little strength left. Selene ambles towards him and squats to his height. She punched him hard on the face.


    ¡°You sure did asshole!. You fvcked a girl one night, you and nine other bastards and shot her till she was dying. Left her to rot in a fvckin dumpsite and you dare say you did nothing to me!¡± Her voice was low but belied her emotions. He coughs out blood, surprise etched on his face. She wasn¡¯t lying, he did do that.


    ¡°Too bad I don¡¯t have the patience to watch you die. Here¡¯s your phone, you can call for help if you can¡± She shoves it into his hands and he shakily swipes at it, hot tears spilling out. She grabbed the suitcase full of dor bills and still grabbing the bottle of wine she ambles to the door. She threw it open and turns to stare at him. His hand has gone limp as his head is slumped in his own pool of blood. She takes a long swig, the drink making her dizzy and burning the back of her throat and she ms the door shut.


    Selene hugs the suitcase to herself and staggers out. All she wants now is to drink and numb the pain she¡¯s feeling.


    Wayne watches as she approaches the car. He gets out and walks up to her.


    ¡°Selene?¡­ you¡¯re drunk¡± He blurts out as he takes the bottle from her and pulls her close. What the heck happened to her.


    ¡°Let me go, I¡¯m fiiine¡± She slurred and giggles. Wayne cusses under his breath and takes the suitcase away from her.


    ¡°Come on let¡¯s get you home.¡± She shakes her head and lean against the car.


    ¡°Do you also hate me?, I¡¯m a bad person you know, so you should¡± She sniffs and giggle again. Wayne pauses to stare at her and he sees the pain In her eyes. This was exactly the opposite of the fierce Selene; weak and vunerable.


    ¡°Stop bbering Selene, you need to get home alright¡± He opens the backseat and throws the suitcase into it. He ms it shut and snake his arm around her waist. Selene grips to his cor and tilts her head. He knew he shouldn¡¯t be staring at her soft looking lips but he did anyways. Selene felt all dizziness evaporate into thin air as she trail her gaze down to his lips. She gulps nothing and leans in. Wayne leans her back against the car and rakes his free hand at his hair.


    ¡°Fvck it!¡± He groans and dips his head, capturing her lips in a heart stopping kiss.

 CHAPTER 25

    Selene shuts her eyes as she felt his lips pressed on hers. Shiver crawls down her spine as she fought the urge to kiss back. She hates men and she shouldn¡¯t be enjoying this, but she found herself parting her lips and weing his tongue.


    She reached for his hair and tugged at it, enjoying the new feeling she was having. Was this how if felt to be properly kissed?.


    She let out a low shaky breath as he sucked on her lower lip, and she couldn¡¯t help but breathe out a moan. Wayne trails soft kisses down to the hollow of her neck, nibbling and sucking on it. Selene shivers at his assaults as she bit back her moans.


    He withdraws and stare at her closed eyes, there he did it. She opens her eyes to stare at him and they are glints of emotions in there, her cheeks flushed as she pressed her swollen lips together.


    ¡°I just thought you¡¯d need that, to erase the tipsyness¡± He smirks at her and she bats hershes.


    Flustered, she gets into the car, mming the door shut. Wayne chuckles lowly and gets in beside her before driving away.


    She¡¯s gonna assume what he said was true. Maybe there wasn¡¯t any feelings attached. She lean against the window and stare out. Holy shit!, did he just kiss her!? and whats more, She enjoyed the kiss. she moaned for fvck sake!.


    The continuous thump of her heart against her ribs makes her sigh lowly. She leaned against the window and shut her eyes. It would take a long while to forget the feeling of kissing him. Soon, she was dozing off.


    Wayne halts the car few meters away from the mansion and turns to watch Selene who had drifted off to sleep. Tendrils of hair covers her face as she parted her lips slightly. He had no idea why he did that. Maybe it was because she looked so vunerable, or could it be he was tempted by her plump soft lips. But either ways she tasted damn good. The hate he had always felt for her was reced with something else, pity.


    She didn¡¯t really have anyone. She doesn¡¯t appear to be close to Bill and all she does is keep to herself. He reached for her hair and tucked it away, his fingers slightly grazing her skin. Her eyes fluttered open at his touch and she sits up on her seat.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t realize I¡¯m home already.¡± She voice out sleepily, avoiding his piercing gaze as she unstraps her belt.


    ¡°You were too tired to notice that.¡± He shrugs and steps out of the car, opening her own side of the door. Selene picks up the suitcase and step out.


    ¡°Thanks¡­. even though it¡¯s past work time you drove me home.¡± She gives him a small smile and he nods.


    ¡°Sure boss, it¡¯s nothing.¡± He says and shuts the door.


    ¡°Are you still tipsy, should I walk you to the gates?¡± Wayne archs his brows as she run her fingers through her hair.


    ¡°Uh¡­ No, I¡¯m fine¡­ Bill¡¯s gonna drive the car in, goodnight¡± She mutter lowly. Wayne nods his head slowly.


    ¡°Goodnight Selene.¡± He says and she bats hershes. She loves the way he says her name, if only she hadn¡¯t asked him to stop calling her that.


    She gave him another smile, before walking up the gates which opened automatically. Wayne watch her get in before he turns striding down the street with his hands shoved deep in his pockets, the kiss lingering on his mind.


    Selene walks into therge living room and plump down one of the couches.


    ¡°Evening ma¡¯am Selene¡± One of the maids bows. Selene kicks off her shoes and sigh.


    ¡°Evening Reba¡­. prepare a hot bath and I¡¯d eat up in my room. I¡¯m drained and I¡¯m gonna eat a lot okay?¡± she ordered.


    ¡°Alright ma¡¯am¡± She picked up Selene footwear and left to carry out the order. Selene rxes into her seat and watch as the door open. Bill walks in from driving the car into the mansion.


    ¡°You didn¡¯t inform me Zayne, your secretary would be driving you home Selene.¡± He says and walks towards her. Selene puffs out tiredly


    ¡°For starters it¡¯s Wayne, and I was in so much hurry to wait for you Bill!¡± She didn¡¯t really need this right now. She just returned from killing a guy, and then there¡¯s she getting tipsy and Wayne kissing her. What she needed right now was to rest.


    ¡°You know, ever since that Zayne guy began to work for you, you¡¯ve always been angry at everything and everyone. If you¡¯re still mad about what he did that night, why don¡¯t you employ another?¡± Bill blurts out in exasperation.


    ¡°Could you just cut the crap Bill!, I¡¯m dead tired and I don¡¯t need it!¡± She grits. Bill looks down at her and dtes his eyes.


    ¡°So, you guys are a thing now?¡± He voice out sadly.


    ¡°What the fvck do you mean?¡± She re up at him. Bill chuckles.


    ¡°Your neck is bruised Selene, he gave you some fvckin love bites!.¡± He jabs his thumb at her neck


    in anger, wishing he could rip the asshole out already. Selene shuts her eyes briefly. Gawd!.


    ¡°What the heck is wrong with you!¡± She snarls.


    ¡°I¡¯m just looking out for you Selene!, I made a promise to Mrs Grace to do that!.¡± Selene clenches her teeth in anger.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you dare use that to justify your actions Bill!. she told you to look out for me not poke your nose in my affair okay!¡­ and this is thest time you¡¯d do that!¡± She yelled and he flinched.


    ¡°What do you m-¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re fired Bill, right motherfuckin now!¡± She deadpans and he paused to stare at her.


    ¡°You¡¯re kidding me huh?¡­ you can¡¯t just sack me cos we got into an argument right?¡±. Selene scoffs and gets off the couch grabbing the suitcase with her. She was mad, mad at everything that happened tonight, how dare he make it worse.


    ¡°You heard me Bill, I can¡¯t deal with your snoopy attitude anymore, I¡¯d have your sry sent to you. You¡¯ve got the whole night to pack up and leave¡­. and you dare not argue with me.¡±


    Selene watches him and she saw the anger in his eyes. The first time he¡¯s angry at her but hell she¡¯s past caring.


    Bill clenched his fist, knowing he didn¡¯t stand a chance to be with her again. To stare endlessly at her perfect figure or get into bed with her. He finally nods and without hesitation he turns, and walks out.


    Selene watched the door shut and she tighten her grip on the suitcase and wondered for a fleeting moment, if she was pushing everyone away.


    *****


    Stacey groans as she rolled out of bed. Her head hurts like hell from staying up all night. She sits up on the bed and stare at the nightstand with theptop on top. She sighed blearily and wrapped her hair up.


    She had found out the ring seemed to have been passed down from all the females in Mrs grace family. From grannies to Mrs grace then Selene. Could be it was some sort of tradition but unfortunately selene isn¡¯t her rtive. She¡¯s just some freaking sessor that popped out from nowhere. Why would Mrs grace give a valuable ring to someone who¡¯s not her rtive?, sounds kinda suspicious. What had lightened up her mood was Damian, Mrs Grace divorced husband. She had followed him up and found out he relocated to Texas and was married to a younger woman. She had copied out his contact and had tried calling his home line, but the answering machine met her reply all the time.


    She¡¯s got the feeling that maybe Damian could help, maybe he knows something, about Selene or Mrs Grace. She hopes he¡¯s gonna call back. She freshened up before striding out of her room to the kitchen. Melissa was already dishing out breakfast.


    ¡°Oh jeez Mel!¡­ what would I do without you!, always preparing breakfast before we are up!¡± Stacey says with a low chuckle as she pulls her into a quick side-hug.


    ¡°Shut your trap bitch you only say that when I cook!¡± She rolls her eyes yfully as she drops a tter of pasta on the countertop. Stacey chuckles lowly.


    ¡°How¡¯s Zoey, did they have an all night?¡± Stacey says with a scoff and sits on the stool.


    ¡°Thankfully no, the guy left and damn it he¡¯s so huge¡­ how does she take him all in dammit!¡± melissa blurts out and palm her temple. Stacey shrugs and began to dish out food.


    ¡°Zoey is always gonna be a bitch just like her name Mel, stop worrying about that, you might go crazy you know¡± she shrugs and begins to stuff food in her mouth.


    ¡°Whatever Stace, I¡¯d just go wake her up I¡¯m sure she¡¯s hungover¡± She grits out and stride out of the kitchen. Stacey resumes eating as her mind drifts thoughtfully. if she ever finds out why guys are always attracted to selene, hell! she¡¯s not gonna keep shut about it. She slide down the stool minutester and gulped down a cup of water. She returns to her room just as her phone rings. Retrieving it from the nightstand she stared at the caller as her heart thumped loudly. It was Damian¡¯s home line!. With shaky hand, she swiped at the receive icon and put it on record.


    ¡°Hi¡­ I¡¯m I speaking to Mr Damian?¡± She voice out immediately nervousness etched in her voice. There was a short awkward silence and the voice that answered was gruffy.


    ¡°Who are you?¡± He answers calmly. Stacey bit down her lips and let out a breathe.


    ¡°I¡¯m Stacey¡­ if I¡¯m not mistaken, you¡¯re the wife of Mrs Grace huh?¡± She asked, walking to the ss windows.


    ¡°I¡¯m not, cos we¡¯re divorced, what do you want Stacey¡± He says icily and Stacey blinks okay she didn¡¯t expect him to sound this way.


    ¡°Uhmm, I stumbled upon an article days ago, about you divorcing Mrs Grace. It was the most trendy gist on the inte for months, and it doesn¡¯t says good about you Mr Damian¡± She lied, sucking in her breath.


    ¡°Another reporter huh!?, I was divorced to Grace years ago dammit!, aren¡¯t you reporters gonna get your ass off this case!¡± He barked and Stacey cringes.


    ¡°No!¡­ no you got it all wrong Damian. I¡¯m not a reporter¡± She defended. ¡°Look Mrs Grace passed away months ago, and she¡¯s got a sessor, goes by the name Selene. I was wondering if you¡¯d know her¡­ please?¡± She added. Damian cusses inaudibly.


    ¡°I watched her funeral ceremony on the, it was pathetic, I also saw her sessor. Funny thing is I don¡¯t know her, Grace doesn¡¯t keep friends¡± Damian brought down his voice a notch, and it was rxed. Stacey knots her brows, he doesn¡¯t know Selene?.


    ¡°Why did you decide to leave?, you both made the perfect couple, and Mrs Grace didn¡¯t look like one who¡¯d cause trouble.¡± Damian scoffs loudly on the other end.


    ¡°Yeah we were the perfect couple. I loved Grace, and she did too¡­ But I couldn¡¯t stay¡± He falters on thest part and Stacey stare down at the city. it was obvious he¡¯s hiding something.


    ¡°Look Damian, is there something you aren¡¯t telling, everyone here in Florida still mes you for Mrs Grace death. They feel you did this to her and soon enough some desperate reporter might dig up the case again¡­. and you know what¡¯s gonna happen, they¡¯d make your life miserable.¡± Hell, who knew she could lie through her teeth. Another silence follows and a door ms shut In the background.


    ¡°Grace was too much for me. I was married to her but it felt like I wasn¡¯t. She was damn pretty too, and I tried not to lose it cos lots of my male friends wanted to have her¡­ it felt like I was in some sort ofpetition¡± He pauses and she could almost imagine how he felt.


    ¡°But then I left, not because I wanted to, but I found out Grace isn¡¯t just a normal wife. She could be wierd in some ways.¡± He sighed and she could sense he didn¡¯t want to say this. She chose her words carefully


    ¡°I could help let everyone know you aren¡¯t a bad person Damian, but you need to give me a solid evidence¡± She held her breath, awaiting his response. Only she wasn¡¯t prepared for what she heard next.


    ¡°We were returningte from an event one night, and we ran into an ident scene. Grace warned me to wait in the car while she go check on it. She didn¡¯t even go with the guards. Maybe I should have listened and waited. But I didn¡¯t. There were about threedies involved in the car ident. They were barely alive but right before my very eyes Grace did something. She healed them, I saw her do it. She was making sounds that I could barely hear. Large wounds healed and I saw the first girl move. She did that to the rest girls, unawares I was behind her watching her every move. That was it. I left that night and never came back. Thest time we met was in the court.¡± Damian finishes with a low sigh.


    Stacey grips to the phone as she froze to her spot. Unable to think and unable to move.Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.


    ¡°I hope that¡¯s enough reasons to let those reporters off my back¡­. she¡¯s gone and I¡¯ve moved on.¡± He added after a while.


    Though he disconnected the call, she remained that way for minutes before she finally walked to the bed and stare down at her phone.


    ¡°Mrs Grace had powers!?¡­¡±

 CHAPTER 26

    The door bursts open and Zoey walks in. She arch her brows at Stacey¡¯s zombie like figure and down to the phone she was gripping tightly.


    ¡°Stacey!¡± She calls out and fold her arms. Stacey jerks out of her thoughts to stare at her.


    ¡°You look like you¡¯ve seen a ghost. Wayne finally agreed to date you huh?¡± She taunted. Stacey groans and push to her feet.


    ¡°Zoey, could you stop it already!. I¡¯m not in for your joshing right now!¡± She blurts out and drops the phone on the bed. Zoey clucks her tongue.


    ¡°Whatever!, you don¡¯t have to get worked up all of a sudden. You¡¯d better get dressed, the spa needs us remember?¡± She rolled her eyes before walking out of the room. Stacey puffs out and rake her hand at her hair.


    Damian doesn¡¯t look like he¡¯s lying. If Mrs Grace really had powers¡­. does it mean selene does?.


    Without hesitating a second, she picks up her phone and dials Zach¡¯s office line. He picks up on the first ring.


    ¡°Zach!, I don¡¯t wanna know what you¡¯re fvckin doing right now, but I¡¯ming over¡± She voice out immediately.


    ¡°Uhh?, you sound off, don¡¯t tell me it¡¯s about Wayne, I can¡¯t help you on that and you know it.¡± Zach responds and thankfully he doesn¡¯t sound drunk.


    ¡°Shut your trap Zach, it¡¯s about Selene and it¡¯s interesting¡­. wanna know what it is?¡± She raise her brows and smirk. A short silence and a throaty groan from Zach.


    ¡°Come over Stacey, right away¡± He groans in reply before he disconnects. A smile curve at her lips and she drops the phone back on the bed. Hell, this just got better.


    *****


    Selene sips at her cup of cappino as the midday sun illuminates her office. Lots of mind blogging thoughts filling her mind and draining her. Bill had truly left before she woke up the following day and she didn¡¯t know what to think of it. Men had done worse to her and she shouldn¡¯t feel sorry for them.


    She blew out her breath and sits the cup of cappino back on the table. She had the contact of her next victim and she texted himst night. She needs to get this done once and all. She knew he¡¯d reply once he gets the message, a meet up and then he¡¯s gone. She return her gaze to the screen of herptop and a her face beams with a smile as she receives a mail. The contract Wayne had help her secure had done a lot for thepany and after working for the Chicago clients, a lot of juicy offers contracts had followed.


    Now a group of clients needs thepany¡¯s service and she¡¯s expected at a dinner conference the next day. Selene tucks back her hair and began typing a reply immediately.


    *****


    Zach stares at Stacey in disbelief as she tells him about the phone call with Damian.


    ¡°Are you fvckin kidding me Stacey, Mrs Grace has powers and there¡¯s every possiblity that Selene has too!?¡± He blurts out in surprise and Stacey nods.


    ¡°I¡¯m sure she has Zach. Come to think of it, Damian said lots of his male friends were attracted to Mrs Grace and now here is Selene, almost every sane guy is attracted to her, including you.¡± She pause for her words to sink in. she had gotten his full attention.


    ¡°But Mrs Grace power wasn¡¯t evil Stacey, she healed people¡± Zach says trying to give selene the benefit of doubt She shakes her head and gets off the swivel.


    ¡°That¡¯s where you got it all wrong Zach. There¡¯s always different way people who have powers act. It¡¯s either they use it positively¡­. or the other way round.¡± She fold her arms as Zach stares at her.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Zach asks impatiently. Stacey chuckles and walks up to him.


    ¡°If Selene really have powers, then she¡¯s using it the wrong way Zach, the kind of bad spells that witches uses.¡± She deadpans and Zach looked her straight in the eye, a deep feeling of dread settling in his guts but secondster it was reced with anger.


    ¡°So she manipted me Stacey!¡­ she used her powers so I couldn¡¯t refuse all her requests and that was letting Wayne work for her.¡± He clench his teeth in anger and gets off the swivel, taking his overcoat hung around it.


    ¡°Yeah Zach, you¡¯re a smartass for figuring that out. She¡¯s bad and we should do something to stop her.¡± She says pointedly. Zach shrugs it on and grabs his phone from the desk.


    ¡°Where are you off to Zach?¡± She ask and furrows her brows.


    ¡°Doing what is right Stacey, taking my secretary back¡± He grits and stride out of the office as Stacey grins.


    Zach arrived at thepany minutester and since he wasn¡¯t a random guy, he was allowed ess to see Selene. He rode the elevator to her office and steps out minutester. He walks through the short hallway that leads to the secretary office and paused as he sees Wayne sitting behind the desk.


    ¡°Boss!.¡± Wayne calls out in surprise, pushing to him feet immediately.


    ¡°Wayne, didn¡¯t know you could grow much taller than whenst saw you.¡± Zach says with a smile.


    ¡°Good to see you boss, it¡¯s been ages¡± Wayne chuckles as they exchange handshakes. Zach didn¡¯t look okay, both from his features and emotionally. Fvck could it be he isn¡¯t over Selene yet.


    ¡°What brings you here¡­. business, or¡­.¡± He stops at that knowing Zach knows what he meant. Zach scoffs.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    ¡°None Wayne. I¡¯vee to inform you that you an resume working for me once more.¡± He enunciated.


    ¡°Huh!, what do you mean boss. I should quit working for Selene?¡± He asks in surprise. What finally got into Zach¡¯s head.


    ¡°Yeah!, exactly!¡± He responds and brings down his voice a notch.


    ¡°Wayne, we found out some really dreadful things about Selene¡­ you shouldn¡¯t be here any longer¡± Wayne archs his brows at Zach In confusion.


    ¡°Dreadful things like what boss, you can¡¯t just make me leave without a good reason¡± He suddenly hated the idea of going back to work for Zach. Zach starts to tell Wayne Stacey¡¯s findings but stops that instant when the door to her office opens and Selene steps out. Zach straightens up and take in her figure. He swallows nothing, the delicate curve of Selene figure making him to forget himself momentarily.


    ¡°Zachary¡­. what brings you to my office, I wasn¡¯t informed you know¡± Selene voiced and watches him with a raised brow. Zach gulps and grins sheepishly.


    ¡°Uh¡­. I¡­ just stopped by¡­. to say hi Selene¡± He stuttered as Wayne arch his brows. Selene¡¯s lips twitches as she tries not to chuckle.


    ¡°Alright campbell.¡± She smirk just as her phone rings from inside the office.


    ¡°You can go on with your Hi¡¯s then, I¡¯d just go take that.¡± She spares Wayne an amused nce before walking back into the office. Only he didn¡¯t continue with the Hi¡¯s. His anger returns the moment she leaves and Zach finds himself giving Wayne a hard stare before storming out of the office.


    Selene strides to her phone and stared at the caller. She dtes her eyes as a wide grin appears on her face. Her next victim finally decided to call back. She chuckles, flipped her hair back and answers the call.


    Minutester she disconnects with a huge smile on her face. He was obviously cheap like the rest and he was anxious to meet her at one of his penthousester at night. No security cameras as always. No one else should know, just her and her darling victim. She bite down her lips and smirk, another is going down soon.


    Selene grips to the steering as she drove down the road leading to her victim¡¯s pent house. She had had enough time to prepare for her death date, and now she was dressed in a short v-necked dress. She took a sideways nce at the revolver she brought along, just in case he acts funny. Ten minutes with him in and she¡¯s done. She sighed and tune the stereo to her favourite song before stepping on the gas.


    Only that this time she wasn¡¯t alone cos meters away from her car was Stacey¡¯s ck lexus trailing after her with a determined look on her face.


    _

 CHAPTER 27

    Stacey bit down her lips as she trailed behind Selene, watching her every move. She didn¡¯t n on trailing after her but when Zach had briefed her on his meeting with Wayne, it angered her. She had driven to herpany and waited for long excruciating hours before she finally saw selene get into her car, and she had followed her.


    She return her gaze back to Selene¡¯s car. Stacey slows down when Selene halts the car. She watch her step out and look around before walking into argepound. Stacey furrows her brows and looked around this part of town. It was a quiet ce.. Really quiet and secluded. The kind rich people goes to for rxation. Stacey brings out her phone and swiped at it. She took pictures of Selene¡¯s car and the gate she walked into before tossing it on the dashboard. She gulped down a can of water as she waited patiently. Would she really see what she came for?, some proof that Selene ain¡¯t just any kind ofdy, she had powers, evil and dangerous. Such people shouldn¡¯t be kept in the dark. Maybe if she could prove to people who Selene truly is, they¡¯d stop thier sickening lust for her and Wayne would definitely hate her too. She¡¯d be so famous and Wayne is sure to fall for her. She gave herself a mental high five and began to watch the huge gates closely again.


    *


    Twenty minutester with her back aching terribly from sitting too long in the car, Stacey was already having a rethink. She could goe an have a nice bath. Selene isn¡¯t gonnae out abytime soon and it¡¯s getting prettyte. She sigh and strapped in her seatbelt. She reached for the ignition key but pauses as the gates opens. Stacey ducked lower on her seat and reached for her phone.


    She watched selene closely as she took snaps. She was with a bag and she seemed really weary as she walked slowly to her car. Just as she was about to enter her car, Stacey dtes her eyes as she stared at Selene¡¯s hands. She zoomed in and gasped silently at the sight of blood. She took several snaps before Selene finally opens the door and gets in, driving away secondster. Stacey sat still, gobsmacked. She stared at the pictures and it was clear and perfect. Okay this is wierd, cos she can¡¯t imagine Selene killing anyone. She only thought Selene has got some charm she uses on people¡­. could it also be she kills?, the thought settles deep in her as she ignites the engine. Her palms are mmy and she run a shaky hand through her hair before driving homewards.


    *****


    Wayne stops at Susan¡¯s ward and looked through the small ss partition. Susan was sitting up and a nurse checking her pulse. She looked well, Susan was finally okay, healthy, and good as new. He took a step back and smiled, before opening the door.


    ¡°Mom¡± He says as he walked to her. Susan face lit up into a rare smile. The nurse gives him a smile and leaves.


    ¡°Wayne!¡± She breathe out, spreading out her arms as he moved into them without hesitating. She held him tightly as tears pooled at her eyes.


    ¡°Goodness I¡¯m s.. so d I¡¯m alive Wayne, I can finally be able to make up for all the times I couldn¡¯t carry out my responsibilities.¡± She whispered, sobbing quietly. Wayne smiles and slowly withdraws, taking her hand in his.


    ¡°I¡¯m happy you made it too mom, you¡¯ve always been a fighter¡± He wiped off her tears with his thumb pad and pulled her closely again. She¡¯s grown so lean and pale, but she¡¯d finally heal. He could swear a huge weight lifted from his heart just knowing she was fine.


    ¡°Where¡¯s Fiona¡± She asked as they withdrew once more. Wayne chuckles.


    ¡°She stayed back home mom, you know how she is, she¡¯s probably preparing the house for your arrival.¡± He rolls his eyes and she smiled affectionately.


    ¡°Then I can¡¯t wait any longer, i wanna go home Wayne¡­. I miss home¡± She brushed down her hair with her palm as the tears pooled in her eyes again.


    ¡°Yeah mom, we gonna do just that, the doctor already discharged you, and we just need to wait a little more for the prescribed drugs then we¡¯d leave.¡± He gave her a reassuring smile that warmed her heart. She felt so guilty that she hadn¡¯t been around when they needed her the most, she was there¡­. but passive.


    ¡°Thanks Wayne, for not giving up on me. Though I was a bad mom, you never did give up on me, and I find it hard to believe you paid for all my bills.¡± Her chest tightens with emotions and Wayne shakes his head.


    ¡°No mom, don¡¯t you ever think you were bad, you acted that way cos you were hurt¡­ and didn¡¯t know how to handle it, so stop it mom, please stop ming yourself for whatever happened.¡± He pleaded and she sighs before nodding. .


    ¡°Now I¡¯d just go get the drugs¡­. and we¡¯d leave.¡± He pecked her on the temple and gave her a small smile before walking out of the room. Susan reached for the pendant under the hospital gown she wore and blink back her tears. Thest gift Greg had bought for her before he died. She didn¡¯t want the tears again, but she couldn¡¯t help it. The tears came freely and she let them fall cos deep down her heart she decided it¡¯s gonna be thest time she cried over something that can¡¯t be changed. It¡¯s time she moved on and she¡¯s gonna do so and protecting Wayne and Fiona would be the first thing she¡¯d do.


    ****


    Wayne took a sideways nce at his mom sitting beside him as he drives home. He couldn¡¯t tell her back in the hospital that he hadn¡¯t paid for her bills. She knew him to be always dependent and might get curious to know about Selene. He just didn¡¯t want that. Each passing day he finds himself wanting to get closer to selene. Not just because she¡¯s beautiful but because he knew there¡¯s something about her, something she didn¡¯t want to tell. He just couldn¡¯t ce it. But he knew soon he¡¯d find out.


    ¡°¡­. What are you thinking of son?¡± Susan¡¯s voice cut through his thoughts. He makes a low throaty sound and smiles.


    ¡°Uh¡­. it¡¯s nothing mom, just work.¡± He replies and he pulled over at the apartment that moment, discouraging any further talk. Getting down, he opens her own side of the door and step out.


    They walked up the illuminated front porch as the door swung open. Fiona stood in the doorway, d in an apron and the scent of baked potatoes clinging to her. The smile goes off her face as her eyes stop on Susan¡¯s.


    ¡°Mom?¡± She croaked, throwing her arms around her as she dissolved in tears. Wayne stepped back as he allowed both of them to relish the moment. Fiona let out choky string of words as she sobbed, hugging her so tight Wayne was afraid she might break.


    ¡°You¡¯ve grown so pretty Fiona¡± Susan manages to say as Fiona withdraws. She grins and wipes at her tears.


    ¡°Oh c¡¯mon mom I took after you remember?¡± She sniffs and pouts yfully as theyugh.


    ¡°could we get in already. I¡¯m famished and whatever you prepared is making my stomach protest¡± Wayne says as he inclined his head. Susan chuckles and rolls her eyes.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    ¡°You haven¡¯t changed much Wayne, you¡¯re still that foodie from years ago!¡± Susan says as she chuckled and they walk in. Wayne shuts the door after them and looked around the living room.


    ¡°Damn Fiona are we having a party, these are so much food!?¡± Wayne whistles lowly as he stared at the table flooded with lots of food. Fiona clucks her tongue in protest.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be such a grouch Wayne, It¡¯s not that much and from the way your stomach is rumbling I¡¯m sure you¡¯re gonna eat up every single dish on the table.¡± She smirked and wrap her arms around Susan.


    ¡°Now mom, why don¡¯t youe shower, get dressed ande down for dinner. I¡¯m sure you¡¯d gonna love the food mom¡± She grinned as they walked down the hallway.


    ¡°Don¡¯t push your luck too far kid.¡± Susan says as the door ms shut behind them. Wayne could hear theirughter echoing down the hallway. He gave a small smile. He realized just how much Fiona was happy. Damn!, having a family to fall back on can be the best thing that could ever happen to anyone.


    Selene packed up the files from her desk and slipped it into a clear bag. She sighed tiredly and handed it over to wayne.


    ¡°We are gonna be leaving for the dinner appointment in an hour. Since it¡¯s downtown it¡¯s gonna take hours to get there. Prepare everything we need Wayne and make sure you¡¯re ready in an hour.¡± Selene orders as she lowers herself on the swivel and massages her temple.


    ¡°Are you okay, you look really pale?¡± Wayne asks in concern. Selene forces a smile.


    ¡°Yeah, my head aches a little but I¡¯d be fine.¡± She breathe out. Wayne sighs and walk to the cab. He takes some tablets of aspirin and pours water into a ss cup.


    ¡°Here boss, this will do.¡± He hands her the cup of water and tablets. She threw the tablet into her mouth and gulped down the water.


    ¡°Thanks Wayne, I was too busy to realise I¡¯ve got aspirins¡± She mutters and hands him the ss cup. Wayne was barely listening to her. He cup her cheeks and stared down at her. Selene could feel those butterflies dancing in her tummy as he grazes his thumb pad under the skin of her eyes.


    ¡°You¡¯ve got bags Selene, and your hair is a little bit pale, are you sure you¡¯re fine?¡± He tucks away strands of hair to her ears as Selene gulps. She¡¯s never had someone care for her this way. And it doesn¡¯t seem real.


    ¡°I guess I¡¯m just stressed out from all the work at the office Wayne¡­ I just need to rest and it¡¯s gonna pass away.¡± She mutter as she avoided his gaze. Wayne shakes his head.


    ¡°You haven¡¯t been doing much worktely Selene, except you¡¯ve been workingte hours¡­. I could reschedule the dinner appointment, so you could rest¡± He suggests. She didn¡¯t know why he was doing this. Maybe it¡¯s just his own way of showing his gratitude.


    ¡± I can¡¯t reschedule¡­. I¡¯d be f-¡± The beeping of Wayne¡¯s cellphone interrupts her and he withdraws his palm to pull out his phone.


    ¡°Uh¡­. I¡¯d just get this.¡± He tells her and walks out of the office, closing the door softly behind him.


    ¡°Stacey¡± He grits out immediately he picks up the call.


    ¡°I¡¯ve got something to tell you Wayne, and it¡¯s important¡­ could you stop by for lunch today¡± Her voice was without the usual flirty tone and that makes him pay attention.


    ¡°It¡¯s got to wait Stacey, I¡¯m leaving for an appointment with Selene and I¡¯d bete home.¡± He says and she cusses audibly.


    ¡°Fine Wayne I¡¯d say it over the phone¡­. you need to stop working for Selene¡± She deadpans and Wayne knots his brows.


    ¡°What¡¯s up with the ¡®Stop working for her issue¡¯ you and Zach are pestering me about.¡± He snarls. Stacey scoffs loudly.


    ¡°That¡¯s because she isn¡¯t who she is Wayne!, that¡¯s because I¡¯m convinced there¡¯s something dark and evil about her!¡± She blurt out in one breath. Wayne furrows his brows.


    ¡°What the fuck do you mean Stacey?¡± He voiced out. Stacey sucks in her breath and sighs.


    ¡°Fine¡­st night I trailed after her Wayne, followed her to some posh part of the town. I guess she went to visit someone, only I don¡¯t think it was a friendly visit¡­¡± Wayne was barely listening, he was paying more attention to the tv set against the wall. It was the news of a murder that took ce days ago.


    Wayne took the phone off his ears as he stared at it, because he was staring at the ce were he had drove Selene to days ago. Same house, same street and same mansion. What the fuck is going on?¡­

 CHAPTER 28

    Wayne furrows his brows as he continues watching the news. The body was found hours ago and detectives are sure it¡¯s a case of murder, though whoever did that made it appear it¡¯s sucide. Wayne shakes his head to clear out his thoughts. It can¡¯t be what he¡¯s thinking right?. Maybe it¡¯s just coincidence, maybe it wasn¡¯t the same mansion she entered. Not dwelling on the thought was weing and he tore his gaze away from the TV set. She can¡¯t be¡­ a murderer.


    He finally pushed the thought out and resumes packing up the numerous files and stacking them up into a briefcase. He rxed into his seat when he was done and sighs inaudibly. The elevator door slides open and Gwen walks in with a tray of food.


    ¡°Hey buddy¡­¡± She grins as she ambled towards him..


    ¡°Hey Gwen¡­ do I also get a tray?¡± He says with a smile and she scoffs.


    ¡°No way Wayne, you eat a lot and I¡¯m scared we might run out of stock earlier than usual!¡± She rolls her eyes and walked past him into Selene¡¯s office and heughs. Gwen has been his close friend since he started working for Selene. She¡¯s always so cool and fun to chat with. The door opens minutester and she steps out with the tray of food, untouched.


    ¡°Godammit don¡¯t tell me she refused to eat again?¡± He cuss and she huffs.


    ¡°Hell yes, she did and Its getting me concerned. She¡¯s always loved my meals until days ago. What¡¯s the matter with her?¡± Gwen points out in concern and drops the tray on his desk.


    ¡°You know how she is Gwen, always keeping to herself. I just hope she doesn¡¯t fall sick from all the stress¡± Wayne mutters and she sighs.


    ¡°By the way, this muffins would taste great¡± Wayne reaches for one and bit into it. He smirked at her and she gasps.


    ¡°What the.. you perv!¡± Sheughs and swats his arm yfully.


    ¡°This part of the town is always so busy!¡± Selene groans as they slow down at a traffic light.


    ¡°Just rx boss, the meeting is until hourster.¡± Wayne says and gives her a nce. She run her fingers through her hair and looked out of the window. Wayne sighs as he notices the pale look on her face.


    ¡°You¡¯d need to rest after the meeting, you¡¯d need it, or sooner you¡¯d fall sick.¡± He tells her as he resumes driving.


    ¡°I¡¯m not sick Wayne I¡¯d be fine.¡± She assures him. Wayne scoffs lowly.


    ¡°But you don¡¯t look fine Selene, you¡¯re pale, and you¡¯ve been refusing foodtely!¡± He points out, why is she being so adamant. A short silence follows and he didn¡¯t expect the next words she said.


    ¡°Have you ever experienced the feeling of being loved?¡± She tilt her head to stare at him and he appears startled for a moment. He clears his throat and nods.


    ¡°Yeah¡­¡± He stops at that, surprised at her choice of words. She chuckles and nods slowly.


    ¡°How does it feel Wayne, to know you mean a lot to someone and they actually care about you?¡± Her voice was with so much sadness it tugged at his heart.


    ¡°You can talk to me Selene, I¡¯ve got a listening ear¡± He says instead. She blinks and look out of the window again.


    Selene sat still for long moments. why does she feel this way about him.. No matter how much she tried to hate him she just couldn¡¯t. It would take just one perfect look from him and that¡¯s all, all her anger towards him would fade into thin air. She finally shakes her head and force a smile.


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing Wayne, I¡¯m fine¡­. I just need rest like you suggested.¡± With that she turns away from him. But she could still feel his eyes on her. like he was looking into her soul and searching for answers. He steps on the gas and return his gaze ahead.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    ¡°Alright¡­ it¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t wish to talk, but I¡¯d answer your question. It¡¯s the best feeling ever. To know someone sincerely cares about you. And you have to let them love you. And keeping to yourself won¡¯t help.¡± Selene bite down her lips knowing who he was referring to. She looked out of the window and watch car zipped past them.


    That moment she wished she could just tell him everything, pour her heart to him and tell him how she felt so wretched and how so unloved. She doesn¡¯t know what¡¯s eating deep into her heart, but she wished she would heal from it.


    *****


    Wayne stood at the far end of the hall as he watched the conference. It was a team of five clients and they appeared important. Selene gave her short speech well and from thier expression they were impressed, both by her beauty and speech. He sighed and began to list out her offers.


    The meeting took an hour, longer than usual. And now they were seated in a posh club celebrating their sess.


    ¡°Damn¡­ I was literally nervous throughout the meeting Wayne, I thought they weren¡¯t gonna give ourpany the contract¡± Selene breathes out and he chuckles.


    ¡°They couldn¡¯t resist boss, yourpany has the best products¡± He points out and chug down the ss of wine. Wayne nced at his watch and sighs.


    ¡°Are we gonna be driving back tonight. It¡¯s eight already¡­. we should probably leave now.¡± He hadn¡¯t informed Fiona or Susan he¡¯d be staying outte and soon he¡¯d get tons of messages from them.


    ¡°C¡¯mon Wayne rx, I¡¯m dog tired and I don¡¯t think I¡¯d be able to leave tonight¡­ could we just book two rooms and stay for the night?¡± She says, her tone pleading. She¡¯s taken too much alcohol and it¡¯s taking its toll. Wayne weighed his chances and sighed. She looked tired, and he was fagged out from driving for hours.


    ¡°Alright boss¡­ But we¡¯d need to leave early tomorrow so we can return home first before going to work.¡± He agrees and she nods.


    ¡°Thanks Wayne¡­.¡± She says and signaled for a waitress.


    ¡°One round of shots please¡± She tells her and see nods and leaves. Wayne raises his brows in surprise. Selene chuckles lowly.


    ¡°Wayne we just won a contract worth millions of dors¡­. can you just loosen up a bit and enjoy the moment¡± She palm her cheeks and heughs.


    ¡°You know what happened thest time you were drunk Selene¡± He shot her a mocking look and a blush creeps up her cheeks. The waitress arrives with the tray of drinks and leaves.


    ¡°That¡¯s a lot¡± He says in amusement as he stares at the shots. She smirked at him.


    ¡°Let¡¯s see how long youst¡± She grins and chug down a shot, the liquid burning the back of her throat. Wayne cusses lowly and grab a shot before chugging it down. She takes another shot and push the contents down her throat. She blinks, already feeling lightheaded. Wayne chuckles and takes another shot.


    ¡°No more Selene¡± He reprimands her. Two shots is just okay.


    ¡°It¡¯s too early to chicken out Wayne!¡± She smirks and reach for another shot. She hesitates a second before draining the liquid, grimacing at the harshness.


    ¡°C¡¯mon Wayne¡± She giggled. He sighs and shrugs a shoulder. Soon they were chugging down shots of tequ In turns andughing at the funny faces they made. Selene realised for a splitting moment that she was genuinely happy, and for once she was d Wayne was her secretary.


    Wayne steps out of the bathroom in his boxer briefs as he dried up his hair with a towel. They had checked into the hotel an hour ago and he had helped Selene to her room. Alcohol really doesn¡¯t go well with her. She had been tipsy, same as he was but he had been able to control it.


    He moves to the bed to sit and pull out his phone. He texted Fiona he wouldn¡¯t being home till the next day so she wouldn¡¯t get worried. Switching off his phone he ced it on the nightstand and prepared to sleep.


    A knock on the door stops his earlier resolve and he swung his legs out of the bed and strode to the door. He looked through the peephole and arch his brows when he sees it¡¯s Selene.


    ¡°Did you forget something?¡± Wayne says as he opens the door, and hell was it the alcohol or was she really looking sexy?. He was really lightheaded and he needed the sleep. Selene trail her gaze down his figure as she felt her throat run dry. He¡¯s just d in ck boxer briefs and he looked damn hot. Gawd!, she tore her gaze away from him reluctantly and stepped in. She really didn¡¯t know why she came.. Maybe it was because she was tipsy and needed someone to talk to.


    ¡°Uh¡­. are you feeling sleepy already, I¡¯m high as fuck and can¡¯t still get myself to bed, funny right?¡± She giggled nervously. He shut the door close and turn to stare at her, Towering above her as he watched her fiddle with her fingers.


    They were both tipsy and the alcohol was addling their senses. Ever so slightly she steps closer to him and syed her fingers on his sturdy chest. She suck in her breath at the new feeling that seemed to take over her.


    ¡°Selene¡­¡± Wayne mutters as he tries not to allow the tipsyness overwhelm him, but it was fruitless anyways. Being tipsy and seeing her d in just a loose robe was a bad timing.


    ¡°Wayne¡­¡± She drawled huskily as she let her fingers trail against his chest. He let his gaze roam over her entire body.


    ¡°You¡¯re gonna regret this.¡± He says and held her arm, staring down at her. The dim lightings illuminating the room made her amber colored orbs more noticeable and he watched different emotions sh through. She bat hershes, she should have obeyed him and not drink too much. She giggled and bite down her lips.


    ¡°And what if I won¡¯t?¡± She says, wavering so slightly. Then he stared her with a look so intense that she shivered. Heat travelled down her spine and settled down her core. What¡¯s gonna be of tonight?..

 CHAPTER 29

    ¡°And what if I won¡¯t?¡± She says, wavering so slightly. Then he stared her with a look so intense that she shivered. Heat travelled down her spine and settled down her core. What¡¯s gonna be of tonight?.


    A muscle twitches in his jaw and he gently pushes her against the door. He grabs her arms, raising it above her head with one hand and pinning it to the wall. He stared down at her, his gaze dark. He trail his gaze down to her n?pples visible from the light robe she wore. Selene sucks in her breath as he trail his fingers down her bare arm, her whole body heating up at his touch. Wayne leans in with her hands still pinned above her and he slowly kisses her. She shuts her eyes at the feeling that washed over her. She kissed back, tilting her head to wee his warm tongue. His tongue gently moved against hers and she lets out a silent moan. How does he make her feel this way? How can she react to his touch so easily?.


    Wayne hand trail against the skin of her thighs and into the loose robe she wore. She shivered, unable to breath as trailed kisses down to the hollow of her neck.


    ¡°Wayne!¡± She moaned softly and threw back her head. He lets go of her hand and she drapes it round his neck. He grabs her waist and her legs curls around him, her mouth not leaving his. She dug her fingers into his hair as he kisses her intensely.


    She¡¯s always been the one in charge, but now she couldn¡¯t help but shiver from his assaults. Her back hits the bed momentster and he pulls back to stare at her through dark lidded eyes. She giggled, and shrugs out of the robe she wore.


    Wayne roam his eyes over her nude self, from the soft fleshy swell of her breasts, to the skin of her tummy. He reached for hercy panties and slips it out of her raised legs. She¡¯s damn beautiful. He lets out a ragged cuss as he cups her left b?ob, circling her tit with his thumb pad. Selene clenches her teeth as he groans. He sp his mouth on her exposed n?pple and sucked on it, hardly.


    ¡°Oh God!¡± She moan out, feeling her own wetness as his tongue teased her, teeth grazing against her hardened nipple. She trailed her palm up and down his smooth back as she moans, stomach clenching and unclenching at every stroke of his tongue. He raises his head and kisses the spot between her boobs. She shut her eyes as his tongue slides up against her skin. Her tummy quivers as all her nerves tingles at his touch. He nudges her legs wider as he resumes kissing her.


    ¡°Damn!¡± He groans against her mouth. She felt his erection against her wet s3x and adrenaline washes over her in waves. She dug her nails into his skin as he slowly moved into her, slowly filling her. Her walls expands to wee him. He was big and she tried not to moan too loudly.


    Then he slowly pulled out and thrust into her again, filling herpletely.


    ¡°Wayne!¡± She moans as perspiration broke out on her skin. Wayne bites down at the silky hollow of her neck and she squirms. This was too much, she wanted it fully. She arch her back to meet his thrusts and pleaded with her eyes. He took the hint and he snakes his hand beneath and grab her waist firmly. He angled his thrusts, and plunged into her more fiercely. Selene gasps and she holds on to him.


    With every thrust, her walls tightens around his length. This was all too new, just too different. He increases his pace as he held her firmly. His groans mixing with hers, so loud she was scared the next door upant would get mad. Hell, she couldn¡¯t hold back. Not with every hard thrust, making her shudder and with a new feeling altogether.


    Her nails dug into the skin of his back as pounded into her, filling herpletely and making her a moaning mess. She didn¡¯t know how he did it, how he could make her moan so shamelessly. His own ragged breathing reminded her he was enjoying it just as much. Her walls pulsed as he continues pounding her leaving her with a wave of thrill so shocking she thought she¡¯d break.


    She shuddered as he clenched his jaw tight and released into her, just as she fell over the edge. The hot wetness spluttered into her and he held her in ce as her she throws her head against the dashboard, catching her ragged breath as he was buried deep in her. He leans down and kisses her fully, fiercely and his tongue dominating.


    This wasn¡¯t what she was expecting, she thought he¡¯d be just like others. But he¡¯d made her feel what it was to actually make love. And she knew all to well that she¡¯d be the one yearning for more.


    *


    Selene¡¯s eyes flutters open and she stirs slightly. She feels strong arms tightly wrapped around her waist and her eyes came in contact with Wayne¡¯s bare abs. She admires this hot piece lying beside her as her eyes takes on his sleepy face.


    Last night incident flooded her mind and a thrill shot through her. She watch him sleep while her whole body heated up from the memories ofst night. He was damn good, and it was the first time she actually enjoyed s3x. He had made every moment count even though they were both drunk. she sighs as he groans in his sleep before blinking and opening his eyes. Green orbs stared right at her. She locks gaze with him as her heart skips a beat. Maybe she could enchant him and keep him to herself. She could get down with him whenever she wants.


    But she couldn¡¯t. His gaze was soft and staring at him made her unable to think properly. She broke the gaze and bite down at her lips.Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Hey¡­¡± Wayne coos and sits up, oblivious of what she just nned on doing. Fvck! he¡¯s such an asshole. He shouldn¡¯t have taken too much alcohol dammit!. He feels so guilty for whatever happenedst night.


    ¡°Hey green orbs¡± she smiled warmly, tucking her hair back to her ears as she sits up too.


    ¡°You good?¡± He asks as he sort her gaze. She nods and pull theforter closer sucking in her breath as her legs grazes his. Wayne puffs and swung his legs out of the bed. He puts on his boxer briefs and walk to the refrigerator.


    He returns with a can of water and hands it to her.


    ¡°You do rememberst night¡¯s incident huh?¡± He queries.. She sighs and gulp down the water nervously. Hell!, he should be probably be feeling guilty, but he just couldn¡¯t, he couldn¡¯t deny that she tasted damn good. He loved the way she moaned his name and squirmed beneath him. And that was preventing him from feeling guilty.


    ¡°I do remember Wayne and you shouldn¡¯t feel guilty about it, I asked for it¡­ ¡± She trail off and wrapped her hair into a bun before shrugging on the robe.


    ¡°So we are just gonna forget what happenedst night, forget everything and move on right?¡± He mutters as he watched her. She ties the robe and force a smile before nodding. would she be able to do that, forgetst night?. The way he¡¯d made love to her, rode her to the best orgasms ever and made her feel like a normaldy. Gawd, it was actually cute having to think of him as her lover. Like they were making love like normal couples do. Funny how she wakes up to know it¡¯s not true, that she¡¯s still that depressed girl tasty for revenge.


    ¡°So¡­. I¡¯d go clear up the bills while you go freshen up¡± Wayne says cutting through her thoughts.


    ¡°Alright¡­.¡± She simply says, running her hands through her tangled locks and striding out of the room. Tears stung her eyes but she didn¡¯t know why. Wayne sighs as the door ms shut. Fvck did he really get heridst night?. He huffs before ambling to the ensuite to freshen up.


    ¡°I¡¯m sure you¡¯re stressed out to go to work today¡± Wayne says as he nced at Selene. They were driving home, with a quiet Selene.


    ¡°You got that right, just drive me home¡­ and you can go home too, I¡¯d call Gwen to take care of things today¡± She mutter, staring out of the window at the busy road.


    He¡¯d have declined the offer and go over to work, but he was damn tired and he needed the rest.


    ¡°Thanks boss¡± He finally says and gives her another nce. She already pressed her face against the window and was hugging herself. She looked like she didn¡¯t want to be anywhere near him. He sighed, shook his head and stared at the road ahead.


    Wayne stops at her mansion hourster and he drove in. Wayne eye searched thepound for signs of her clingy bodyguard and sighed out in relief when he doesn¡¯t see him. He kills the engine and unstraps his belt. He gets out and goes round to open her own side of the door.


    Selene steps out, the musky scent of his cologne reminding her of yesternight. And she was supposed to forget about it isn¡¯t she?.


    ¡°There¡¯s gonna be lots of things to do at the office tomorrow Wayne, try to resume earlier before working hours.¡± She voice out as he shuts the door. He knots his brows and stare at her in amusement.


    ¡°It¡¯s weekend tomorrow boss¡± He says trying to hide the amusementcing his voice. She mutters a silent ¡®Oh¡¯.


    ¡°My bad, it¡¯s bye till Monday then¡± She says with a shrug. Is she actually feeling disappointed that she won¡¯t see him during the weekend. Oh Selene snap out of it! her subconscious screams. She sighed and sp her purse tighter.


    ¡°Uhmm¡­ if you¡¯re wondering what happened to my bodyguard¡­ I sacked him¡­. you could take the car for the weekend, ande pick me up early next week¡± She tells him dismissively and turns to leave.


    ¡°Selene¡± He calls her and she stops to stare at him.


    ¡°Do take care of yourself okay, no workingte hours¡­ you need the rest¡± He says in concern and her heart flutters at his kind words.


    ¡°Thanks Wayne¡± She smiled at him before she walks into the mansion. Wayne eyes sweeps over the bodyguards sprawled out and all of them seems to be staring or maybe ring at him. He rolled his eyes and gets into the car before driving out of the mansion. She already sacked her bodyguard?, damn Selene has always been so unpredictable. His mind drifts to Stacey and he remembered he was having a phonecall conversation with her.


    She had been telling him something but he couldn¡¯t remember what she had said. He sighed and stopped by the mall minutester. He¡¯d just need to shop for more groceries. Susan needs enough meals so she could get well faster.


    ¡°That¡¯s a lot of groceries Wayne!¡± Fiona grins as she helps him take the bags out of the trunk.


    ¡°Mom needs it to get well Fiona¡± He points out as he ms the door shut. Fiona archs her brows as she stared at the car.


    ¡°Last I checked you don¡¯t work as a bodyguard Wayne¡­. so why do you have your boss¡¯s car?¡± Fiona queries with a smirk. Wayne groans as they walk into their apartment.


    ¡°Fiona not now okay, the smirk on your face says it all and I¡¯m not ready for your questions¡± He scoffs and Fiona giggles.


    ¡°Hi mom¡± Wayne smiles as he gets into the living room. Susan arch her brows at him.


    ¡°You¡¯re glowing differently today Wayne¡± She says and cocks her brows.


    ¡°Mom could you just cut it out already!¡± Wayne rolls his eyes and sheughs.


    ¡°C¡¯mon son what¡¯s getting you worked up¡± She teased. Wayne could sense it, Fiona had obviously ratted on him. He turns to re at Fiona and she widen her eyes


    ¡°I didn¡¯t say anything Wayne if that¡¯s what you¡¯re thinking¡± She giggled and padded to the kitchen.


    ¡°She¡¯s just my boss mom, you shouldn¡¯t get any thoughts into your head¡± He voice out immediately she leaves.


    ¡°Hmm¡­ a girl you decided to spend the night out with¡­. you¡¯ve never done that wayne. And what¡¯s more she paid for my bills!¡± Susan says in surprise. Wayne rakes his hand at his hair. God remind him to spank Fiona, she¡¯s a bber beak dammit!.


    A knock at the door saves him from further questions and he bolts out of the chair eagerly.


    ¡°I¡¯d just go get the door¡± He tells her and ignores the ¡®we aren¡¯t done yet¡¯ look on her face. Wayne chuckles and walks to the door, throwing it open.


    He gapes at the man standing in front of him. The grey hair, soft friendly eyes hidden behind a pair of sses and hisnky figure.


    He walks in casually, it was all too familiar and Susan gasps when her gaze stops on him.

 CHAPTER 30

    Susan bolts out of the couch at the sight of the man who¡¯d just walked in.


    ¡°You¡¯ve grown so pale Susan¡± He groaned as he stops in front of her. Susan eyes filled up in hot tears.


    ¡°Miguel!¡± She gasped out, voice bellying lots of emotions as she swept her eyes over him. His grey hairs; it was longer and styled to perfection. He¡¯s grown a lot more older than shest saw him, and his warm eyes was tinged with sadness. With a step forward she copsed his arms and gave way to tears.


    Miguel holds her lean frame to himself as he hugged her. Pain twisting in his gut at how lean she was. She isn¡¯t that graceful young lookingdy from years ago. He kissed her hair continuously as his shirt muffled her loud sobs.


    Wayne rakes his hair and cussed under his breath. Hell!. how did he get here?. How did he manage to track them all the way from Los Angeles?. Miguel¡­ his godfather and Fiona¡¯s godfather too.


    Miguel has been his dad closest pal even before he courted Susan. They had grown up together and scaled through thick and thin before finally bing billionaires.


    The bond they shared was unimaginable. He grew up thinking Miguel was his uncle. He grew up to the sound of miguel¡¯sughter echoing down the hallway in his dad¡¯s mansion. He grew up to seeing Miguel teasing Susan in front of his dad. Found him sides by side with his dad in all the pictures hung around the mansion. Family vacations and he was always there. Fiona was his favourite and she¡¯de to love him as much as she loves Greg. He never had a wife and enjoyed the flings and smash-and -pass kind of life.


    A week before Greg died was when theyst saw him. When Greg died he wasn¡¯t there. Not even at the funeral. Never picked their calls or answered texts. Susan was devastated cos she was so close to him. She felt betrayed that he¡¯d abandoned them when she needed him the most. Fiona couldn¡¯t get over it for months and it felt like they lost two people instead of one.


    And now yearster he¡¯s showed up at their doorstep like nothing happened, like it was just a day ago since he left. Funny thing is Wayne was never mad at him. He knew Miguel better and knew he¡¯d never abandon them.


    Wayne sighs and shoves his hands deep into his cks pockets as he returned his gaze back to Susan sobbing against his chest.


    ¡°I¡¯m so sorry Susan, for leaving you for this long¡± He groaned, the anger evident in his voice. Angry at himself. He slowly pulled away as his eyes stops on Fiona standing at the doorway. She bite down at her lips, fiddling with her fingers. Neen yet still petite, beautiful and always childish.


    ¡°It¡¯s r-eally you h-uh¡± She voiced out, her voice wavering slightly. He nods and a vein twitched in his jaw. She sucked in her breath.


    ¡°You¡¯ve changed a lot¡± She sniffles and wipes her wet cheek.


    ¡°¡­. I never knew you¡¯de back¡± She added with a teary scoff, anger etched in her voice. a dark shadow crossed his face. Fiona words hurts him than anyone else.


    ¡°Fiona¡­ you don¡¯t hate me do you?¡± He groaned. It was all too familiar. it felt like yesterday when he¡¯d ask her the same question with a funny face after he¡¯d reprimanded her. And she¡¯d giggle and run into his arms, saying she could never hate him. She struggled to push back the tears. Now that seems like a billion dor question as she watched him across the living room, Taller than before, with his usual cool gait.


    ¡°For the first time Miguel¡­.¡± She trailed off and shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m not sure of myself anymore!¡± She croaked, choking on her tears as she curved her feet, running down the hallway to her room and mming it so hard that that the hinges creeked. Momentster the clicking sound of the doorlock followed.


    Susan shut her eyes and ced a palm over her mouth. Just when she vowed she¡¯d protect them she had failed sooner than she expected.


    Wayne cussed as Miguel lowered himself into the couch. He knew what wasing next, Miguel had always been softhearted and he¡¯d always be.


    He watched as Miguel took off his sses and soon, he was sobbing.


    Miguel stared at the closed door for the thousandth time.


    ¡°Fiona¡­. I hate myself for letting you feel this way¡­ you know I¡¯d rather die than make you hate me¡­ you just have to hear me out¡± Miguel pleaded as he stood outside her door. Hours had dragged on slowly and he¡¯d let himself sob out the pain and anger.


    Susan and Wayne had let him relieve his emotions. They knew him too well. Well enough to know he doesn¡¯t need to be consoled until he had sobbed out his pent up emotions and that naturally took hours.


    The continuous muffled sobs from Fiona only cut right through his heart. He¡¯s pleading for over an hour and she wouldn¡¯t budge.


    ¡°Come on Fiona, two minutes and I¡¯m out¡­ you could kick my ass out too if that¡¯s what you want¡± He said it the same way he always told her whenever she was sulking, only that it didn¡¯t seem to work this time. He clenched his teeth and pushed back his hair. Susan watched him from the living room and gave him a sad smile.


    Wayne was out on the patio, probably on a ss of wine and trying to clear his head. Miguel sighed and took a step back.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry Fiona, but I¡¯d just have to leave. I can¡¯t bear to hear your sobs anymore¡­ ¡± He faltered and paused hoping that would do the trick. That had always been the trick.


    It worked. Ruffling of bedspread and shuffling of her feet and soon the door creaked open and she stuck her messy hair mass out. Her face pinkish from crying. She wiped her runny nose and stared emotionlessly at him. It tugged his heart.


    ¡°Just two minutes Miguel and I¡¯d kick your ass out of our lifes if it¡¯s not worth the time¡± She stepped out, siding past him and striding to the living room.


    He sighed out in relief and followed suit. Fiona plonked down the couch beside Susan and hugged herself. Miguel leaned against the wall and hung his head. It took him a full minute to ovee the shame he felt before he started.


    He was a dick. Dammit he was!. He had this unsatisfying urge for anything in skirt. Greg had advised him to get a wife and settle down. But he couldn¡¯t. Greg had told him one night that they would be having a business trip and he wanted miguel to tag along, but he had declined. He couldn¡¯t go with him cos he was going on a vacation with one of his flings. Greg had been displeased but the dick he was he couldn¡¯t change his mind.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    A weekter he was in a first ss flight with a sexy Russian girl and all the cash one could dream off. She was heavenly, Russian girls were always so sexy and he couldn¡¯t wait to get down with her.


    They had crazy fun. Had wild sex all day in the expensive convo he booked. Ate out in expensive restaurants and several tours. He felt good, she was good and for the first time he wanted to keep her little longer.


    A weekter the fun ended. It took a ss of wine and a quickie to stop all the fun. He woke up hourster to find himself in a deserted part of the town, miles away from the city. Stripped bare of his clothes except his boxer briefs and a short note. His phones, money, and car was stolen by the Russian girl.


    It was a setup from one of his clingy girlfriends he had dumped. She wantedmitment and had been mad when he had called it off. She had promised to pay him back. He never knew it woulde as a sexy Russian bitch. It had taken him a week to walk the long miles back to the city. He had painful blisters and several bites from insects. It took him another two weeks to treat himself and put a call across his secretary.


    Soon he was on his way back to Los Angeles. He returned home to the news of his best friend¡¯s death. It was a big blow, one that sent him straight to the hospital. He never forgave himself. As long as he was concerned he killed Gregory. He fuckin did.


    He knew of the many times Susan visited his home. But he gave strict instructions not to tell her of his condition. It was shameful and he wanted to get better before he could face her. He was more like a betrayal, running after a girl while his best friend was six feet beneath the ground. Only that when he was okay monthster, he was greeted with the sad news that they had moved out, Greg¡¯s properties confiscated cos he was running a huge debt.


    When he was done with his shameful tale it waste noon. Fiona sighed and shook her head. Susan face was expressionless and Wayne who was leaning against the doorframe took everything in one bit.


    ¡°Dad had always warned you Miguel¡± Fiona broke the silence, running her hand through her hair.


    ¡°Maybe If you had agreed to go with Dad, he would still be alive, cos you know he¡¯d never take that flight¡­ you would have chosen another, it¡¯s a good thing you know you¡¯re also responsible for his death¡± She voiced out usingly.


    ¡°Fiona!¡± Susan reprimanded tugging at her arm. She rolled her eyes and got off the couch.


    ¡°I¡¯m famished mom, I¡¯d be in the kitchen if you need me¡± She gives her a tight-lipped smile and trudged to the kitchen. He obviously can¡¯te into their lives after years of waiting, things don¡¯t work that way.


    ¡°She¡¯d get over it Miguel.. try to cheer up¡± Susan smiles at him and he shrugs and leans off the wall.


    ¡°I¡¯m sure you¡¯re exhausted. I¡¯d go cook something nice for you¡± She tells him and walked past him to the kitchen.


    Wayne sighed as he watched him. Miguel is feeling do damn guilty right now cos he knew it was true. Greg would probably still be alive cos he would have booked a different flight, not the one his Dad loves to take.


    ¡°Miguel¡­ care for a drink?¡± He asked and Miguel sighed.


    ¡°Sure thing son¡­¡± He mumbled and trailed after him to the patio.


    *****


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry Wayne, I never realized how stupid I could be to have declined Greg. He was my best friend and best friends are there for each other¡­¡± Miguel mumbled as he chugged down his wine.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need feeling guilty Miguel, You and I know you¡¯d do anything to have saved Dad.¡± He shrugged as he leaned against the railings.


    ¡°So how did you manage to find us?¡± Wayne asked after some time. Miguel sighed.


    ¡°I knew Susan had always loved Miami and so I figured out y¡¯all might have moved down here. It was hard to track every rented apartment here but I finally did¡± A small smile tugged at his lips as he said those words. Silence followed as Wayne mind wandered. Thousands of thoughts filling his head.


    ¡°You know Miguel¡­.¡± Wayne started after a while.


    ¡°I find it so hard that Dad had a lot of cash and yet he never left a will, nothing for his family. Just huge debts that surped all the properties he had acquired over the years!¡± He groaned, taking a swig from his drink.


    Miguel sighed and quietly sipped at his wine. Long minutes passed and Wayne thought he hadn¡¯t heard what he said.


    He finally groaned and chug down his wine.


    ¡°Who said he didn¡¯t leave a will¡­. son¡± He mumbled and cocked his brows at him.


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

 CHAPTER 31

    Wayne straightened up and faced Miguel squarely.


    ¡°What do you mean by that?, I summoned all dad¡¯swyers and they never said a thing about it¡± He folded his arms and watched him. A will?, was he kind enough to have left a will?.


    ¡°I think he might have left something close to a will¡± Miguel continues.


    ¡°C¡¯mon Miguel quit beating around¡± Wayne blurt out in exasperation.


    ¡°Greg always had foresight of things. Did you think he would have let you guys suffer?, hell no Wayne. Greg saved a huge amount of money in a private ount which he opened in your name.


    He gave me control over it and said he wanted to be certain you all had the best future¡­.¡± He trails off and sigh deeply. Wayne dtes his eyes in surprise.


    ¡°So Dad left us a fortune!?¡± He blurts out. Miguel smiles and nods.


    ¡°Yeah son, and it was the reason I decided to find Susan. I knew It was thest good thing I could do.¡± He mutters.


    ¡°Fuck!¡± Wayne cusses as he ran his fingers through his hair. This was too good to be true. They had cash all this time!. And he had thought


    his dad had left them with nothing. He poured himself a ss of wine and chugged it down his throat. Miguel watched hisposed disy of excitement.


    ¡°How long can it hold us?. Give me a rough estimate of the amount Miguel¡± He gingerly ced the ss back on the stool as he struggled to stay calm.


    ¡°I don¡¯t keep track of how much he pays into the ount Wayne. But I¡¯m sure we are talking about a hundred million dors¡± A gasp sounded behind them and Wayne turned to see Fiona stand at the doorway looking gobsmacked.


    ¡°D-id¡­ you just¡­ say a hundred million dors!¡­. Dad¡­ left us that amount¡± She stuttered as she stared at Miguel wide-eyed.


    ¡°Dammit!¡­ why were you eavesdropping!? Wayne groaned. she rolled her eyes.


    ¡°I wasn¡¯t brother. My ears just had to be a little bit sharper today¡± She grinned. Miguel chuckled quietly, atleast Fiona hadn¡¯t lost her sense of humor. He watched as she stalked towards him with a watery smile, all traces of anger absent on her face.


    ¡°Miguel¡­.. are you serious about this? Tell me you aren¡¯t kidding, that Dad loved us enough to have left such amount¡­. please¡± She bat hershes as she fought to keep her voice calm.


    ¡°Yeah Fiona¡­. it¡¯s as real as this mole on your nose.¡± He pinched her nose yfully and she bite down at her lips. Another gasp escaped her lips.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry Miguel, I missed you a great deal since you left¡± She tells him, tucking her hair to her ears. Miguel sighed and drew her into an embrace.


    ¡°Oh dear!¡­ you must forgive good ¡®ol miguel okay. I promise to make it up to you¡± He kissed her hair as he mumbled those words. Fiona smiled against his chest. Excitement bubbling inside or her. Gosh!, they were rich now. Dad had left them a huge sum of money. She could finally go to college. Eat good food and dress nicely too. She smiled and withdrew from his arms.


    ¡°I¡¯d love to eat chicken nuggets Miguel could we all eat out for dinner¡± She grinned in that same childlike manner of hers.


    ¡°Hell you still love chicken nuggets¡± He rolled his eyes dramatically and she giggled and nod.


    ¡°Alright go get dressed.¡± He groaned and she squealed happily.


    ¡°Thanks Miguel you¡¯re the best¡± She hugged him again, stuck her tongue out at Wayne before padding out of the patio. Wayne chuckled and shook his head.Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.


    ¡°She never changed Wayne¡­.¡± Miguel chuckled as he adjusted his spectacles.


    ¡°Not with you around Miguel. She¡¯s always been your favorite and sometimes I wonder if I¡¯m your godchild too, cos all I ever got was punches from your old hands!¡± Wayne gritted humorously and theyughed.


    Stacey itched her eyes as she stared at the screen of herptop. She was tired, dog tired. Too much for tracking a girl like Selene. She¡¯s been stuck in her room the whole day, making thousands of fruitless research to know of Mrs Grace powers. Was she some sort of healer or some sort of witch?.


    She just needed one huge evidence against her. For someone as dangerous as Selene, you¡¯d need all the convincing in the world to prove that she¡¯s got powers. She was certain she had powers.


    No doubt Mrs Grace had powers and she had a gut feeling that Selene did too, all she needs is evidence. She sighed as she remembered the phonecall with Wayne.. He had barely paid attention to her and she wondered if Selene had done something evil to him. She¡¯d never let selene have him, and she¡¯s gonna make sure of that.


    Zachary seems to be on the same page with her. He had suddenly began to develop hatred for what selene had done. She just hoped he would be able to withstand her prescence. The shrill sound of her cellphone jolts her out of her thoughts and she pulled it out from under the duvet.


    ¡°Zach¡± She spoke into the phone as she answered it.


    ¡°Stacey¡­. I got some interesting news this morning¡± He sounded excited.


    ¡°I could do with some good news Zach¡­ spill it out¡± She sighed and sat up properly on the bed.


    ¡°I was able to get an appointment to meet a magiologist¡± He says and she could imagine him smiling.


    ¡°What do we need a magiologist for?¡± Stacey groans and itches her hair. Zach chuckled loudly.


    ¡°I¡¯ve got this all nned out Stacey. Hopefully he would be able to tell what sort of powers Mrs Grace has¡­ that is after listening to the call recording of Damian¡± He suggested.


    ¡°Damn Zach that¡¯s a brilliant idea. When are you gonna meet up with him¡­ I¡¯d like to be there too.¡± She enthused.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to do that Stacey. I¡¯d handle it. you just concentrate on getting more evidences against Selene. She messed with the wrong person¡± He says through clenched teeth and hung up.


    Stacey chuckles and dropped the phone beside her. She¡¯s gonna get Wayne soon, sooner than anyone could expect. Selene surely messed with the wrong person!.


    Monday came with a flourish. The shrill beeping of the rm woke wayne up and he palmed it annoyingly. He swung his long legs out of bed and began to prepare for work.


    It was funny how things changed within the space of a day. Now he had lots of cash that could start up a good business. He was d that Fiona would be able to attend college and he could also return Selene¡¯s cash. He sighed as he remembered the night heid her. He wondered how he became ustomed to her presence.. Once he hated her flirty attitude but now that he worked for her he knew he couldn¡¯t hate her anymore. He knew she was going through some sort of emotional stress and he¡¯d make sure he finds out whatever it is.


    *


    An hourter he arrived at her mansion. He already texted her whileing and he killed the engine as he waited for her.


    Minutester she was out and he got out of the car and took in her slender curvy figure. She had listened to him. Now she looked so ravishing he could barely keep his eyes off her. Memories of how she moaned his name taunted him and he cussed inaudibly.


    Selene cheeks heated up as she caught him openly checking her out. She didn¡¯t realise how well she had missed him until now. And throughout the weekend she had craved to see him. He was kind enough to have texted her a couple of times to know if she was okay and that alone had lightened her damp mood


    ¡°Morning Selene¡± He greets as his warm eyes found hers. She gulped nothing. Just the sound of his voice made her skin tingle. She nods and gave him a nervous smile before getting into the car, but not after taking in the musky scent of his aftershave.


    He slipped in next to her and soon he was driving.


    ¡°You look beautiful today Selene¡± He says calmly. Selene heart skipped a beat and she swallowed nervously.


    ¡°Thanks Wayne¡­¡± She breath out, already feeling heated up though the air conditioner was on. Wayne gave her a sideways nce. He loved it that his presence was affecting her.


    He pulled up at thepany thirty minutester and killed the engine.


    ¡°I¡¯ve got some good news Selene¡± He tells and she whip her head to stare at him and for some funny reasons she avoided his taunting gaze. what could he probably say?, that he fancied her or he missed her throughout the weekend?. Jeez Selene stop overreacting.


    ¡°I¡¯m all ears Wayne¡± She voiced out lowly. Wayne hesitated a second.


    ¡°I can finally pay up all the cash you used for my mom¡¯s treatment. I¡¯m d It didn¡¯t have to wait too long¡± He says and she bats hershes.


    ¡°You do?¡± She queried and furrowed her brows. Wayne chuckles and nod. Selene bite down at her lips. She could recall he told her he was only working for her in return of the favor she had done. Now that he has got the money would he resign. The thought that he¡¯d go hit her square hard on the face and it unsettled her.


    ¡°So¡­.. does .. that mean you¡¯re gonna resign?¡± She stuttered trying not to let her voice quiver. The question hung in the hair as they stared at each other. Did he really wants to go? He¡¯s never considered that but now she had brought it up he couldn¡¯t find the right answer. He¡¯s gotten used to seeing her every morning, watching her get angry at him for no reason and those little moments that she was happy. Damn could he bear to leave her knowing she was vunerable and not as sassy and bold as everyone thought she was.


    Selene heart sank to the pit of her stomach and she struggled to stay calm. She broke the gaze as her eyes filled up. She took the silence as a positive answer and she unstrapped her belt. Who ever thought she¡¯d get so attached to him.


    ¡°Selene¡± Wayne calls out and held her by the hand. She fought back the tears that threatened to drop and snatched her hand away from his warm touch. She got out and m the door shut behind her.


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

 CHAPTER 32

    Selene shuts the door to her office and leaned against it. Sniffing back her tears she reminded herself that she shouldn¡¯t be feeling this way.


    That wasn¡¯t part of the n. She was supposed to make him fall for her and use him the way she pleases. Why the fuck does it seem so impossible!?. why the heck does he have this effect on her?.


    Now all her thoughts were of him. He¡¯s seeded in upying her mind even before she executed her ns. She wiped a tear that slid down her cheeks before walking to the cab. It¡¯s too early to be drinking but she doesn¡¯t care.


    She poured herself a ss of vodka and chugged it down her throat, grimacing at the hot liquid.


    She was fed up of everything. Her life is a mess already. She thought revenging would take out the pain she felt but she was wrong. She thought having lots of cash would make her life better bit hell, she wasn¡¯t different from how she as before.


    The door opens and shut close behind her. She didn¡¯t bother to turn, she knew who hade in. Soon she won¡¯t be seeing him anymore.


    ¡°You didn¡¯t have to bolt out of the car that way Selene¡­¡± Wayne says as he stalked towards her. Selene shut her eyes and sigh, willing him to go away before she does something crazy.


    She sets the ss on the bar top and turn to meet his gaze. He was standing so close to her and that makes shivers run down her spine.


    ¡°You shouldn¡¯t be in here Wayne¡± She says distractedly. He sighed and held her chin up, forcing her to stare at him, his gaze so intense that she couldn¡¯t meet his gaze.


    She trailed her gaze down to his sturdy arms and she gulped nothing, remembering how it felt to be in his arms. She stared up at him, watching his green orbs as they bore into hers. All she wanted now was his touch. Nothing matters anymore


    Wayne dipped his head as he captured her sensuous lips in a fierce kiss, instantly noting how she reacted positively to his touch.


    Has he suddenly be like the other guys? Unable to resist her? He cupped the nape of her neck as he slid his tongue into her warm mouth, causing her to moan silently. Selene syed her arm on his chest and tilted her head, heart racing and adrenaline washing over her in waves.


    He was dominating this time, and she let herself enjoy the feeling of him kissing her. He tasted heavenly and she was already feeling her own wetness. He slid his arm up her dress, fingers trailing along her exposed thighs. Her breath shuddered as he trailed his hand along the line of her panties. She threw back her head as he trailed hot kisses down to the nape of her neck, sucking gently on her skin. She wanted him, hell she doesn¡¯t give two shits if he¡¯s just her secretary.


    So she dug her dug her fingers into his soft hair and tugged at it, her free hand sliding into his shirt and caressing his bare abs. She was always so vunerable around him, he was always the one in charge.


    Wayne let out a low throaty groan as her palm trailed up and down his back. He wrapped his strong arms around her waist and lifted her, sitting her on the bar counter.


    Selene sucked in her breath, knowing she had worked him up with that single action. He resumes kissing her, sucking on her lips as she moaned shamelessly. He slid his hand to her the waistline of her panties and with one single yank tore it away.


    Selene breathing hitched and she gripped his arms haplessly. Wayne groaned against the skin of her neck at how wet she was. He groaned slipped a finger into her wet entrance.


    She let out a gasp, clenching her teeth at the new feeling that washed over her. She leaned her head against the ss shelves as her nerves tightened. She moaned softly as he slid his finger in and out of her, nub pulsating and walls tightening over and over again.


    When did she change this much. Once she was this girl who wouldn¡¯t respond to a guy¡¯s touch. But Wayne has seeded in making her yearn for him even without having to force it.


    ¡°Oh God!¡± She gasped as he slid two fingers in, increasing the pace of his thrusts. She squirmed as her tummy quivered. But he held her in ce as he pushed deep into her, feeling his own bulge harden at how wet she was.


    Hell he knew he¡¯d always want her after heid with her and now seeing her in this flimsy short dress it had only aroused him the more. Her climax came a little bit sooner.


    She held on tight to him as the waves washed over her and she fell over the edge, gasping as her wetness slid out in a frenzied rush down his fingers and making her whimpered.


    He slipped out and his arms went around her waist again. She wrapped her legs around him as they kiss, or as he kissed her.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    He couldn¡¯t continue pleasuring her. He wanted her fully and soon he was turning the knob leading to an adjoining room in the office and cing her back on her feet. She grabbed his shirt and pulled it over his head. Wayne zipped down her dress and tugged at her brassiere untill it came undone.


    Secondster they were stripped off their clothings, and Wayne dark eyes took in her nude self in the light of the day. Selene heartbeat had gone wild as she took in his tanned muscles. Now she was seeing him in the day she couldn¡¯t help but notice how hot he was. He wanted to bury himself deep in her, and make her moan his name over again, but she had other ns.


    She wanted him to feel the way she had felt minutes ago. She wanted him to feel just as satisfied as she was. If he nned on leaving, she wanted this to be just as memorable. She trailed her palm down his abs and down to this hard length.


    ¡°Selene.¡± He groaned, his voice tinged with warning. Her breath shuddered but she had made up her mind.


    ¡°No Wayne, let me take care of you this time.¡± She pleaded and wrapped her fingers around his length. He clenched his teeth as her fingers worked up and down his length, making his veins throb. He was trying hard not to be violent. She caressed his length and nted soft kisses on his muscled chest. Wayne ran his hand down her bare back and squeezed at therge swell of her ?ss she sucked on the skin of his chest. She sank down to her knees and gulped at how big he was.


    But she couldn¡¯t back out now. She suck in her breath before taking him into her mouth, causing him to growl throatily. That urged her on, the fact that he was enjoying what she was doing to him. She bobbed her head in and out slowly, sliding her tongue along his length as he growled. His hand wrapped around her hair and held it in ce. He pulled and pushed deeper down her throat. Her nerves tightened but she couldn¡¯t afford to pull away.


    So she let him thrust in and out of her mouth, his groans giving her the satisfaction that he was enjoying it. Soon she was meeting his thrusts with her own warm tongue, closing her mouth around him as he hit the back of her throat continuously. Her fingers worked on the part that couldn¡¯t go in, loving how his groans filled her ears.


    Wayne fingers tightened around her hair as he pushed in and out, groaning lowly at the way she handled him perfectly. She was daring and he couldn¡¯t me himself from being a little bit fierce in his thrusts.


    Waves washed over him, and he willed himself to keep on without having to climax, he wanted to bask in the feeling of having her tongue caress his length. But hell she was so good at it, that he was riding on his own uncontroble pleasure, increasing his thrusts as they hit the back of her throat continuously. He groaned as the wetness coarsed down his length and spewed out. He thought she¡¯d pull away, but she stayed put, taking in every drop untill she milked him dry.


    Selene smirked up at him, proud of the little stunt she had pulled, excited that she was able to make him climax. He pulled her up and kissed her on the temple.


    ¡°C¡¯mon, let me clean you up¡± He says and swept her from her feet, carrying her bridal style to the ensuite bathroom.


    ****


    The rest of the day passed in a blur. Selene trying to focus on her work. They were having more clients each passing day and piles of file work were to be tended to. So their make out was left at the back of minds, and Selene tried to push out the thoughts of him leaving.


    She was afraid she¡¯s gradually falling for him, no one had affected her this way and she couldn¡¯t be any less grateful.


    The thought of taking down the two guys left was first on her mind. She needed to, so she¡¯d move on with her life. Maybe she¡¯d confess to wayne that she was falling for him, but that was after she had taken them down. Atleast no one would know she was an Enchantress.


    Wayne sat at his desk, munching his lunch snack of tacos Gwen had made. He almost convinced himself with the thought that Selene was finally okay. Maybe she just needed someone to care for her. He would have totally believed in that if Stacey hadn¡¯t called.


    He debated on picking the call but he had to, or throughout the day he¡¯d be bombarded with phone calls. He swipes at the answer icon and ced it on speaker.


    ¡°Hi Wayne¡± She greets, excitement in her voice.


    ¡°Stacey¡± He says calmly and leaned back into his seat.


    ¡°Umm¡­. could you do me a favor and check the mails I sent you?¡± She pleaded and he sighed. Atleast she wasn¡¯t flirting this time.


    ¡°Alright¡­. I¡¯d do so as soon as I hang up¡± He says listlessly.


    ¡°Thanks¡± She breathe out and hung up immediately. He pulled his chair closer and did as she had said. Or maybe he shouldn¡¯t have. Because right there on his screen was the pictures of Selene she had taken the day she trailed after her.


    ¡ª¡ª¨C

 CHAPTER 33

    Wayne cocked his brows and scrolled through the pictures she had sent. No doubt this was Selene. He dtes his eyes as he sees the picture of her bloodied palms.


    He leaned backwards as waves of shock coarsed down his body. Is she a killer?. why the fuck is her palms stained with blood?. He rakes his hand at his hair in agitation and stared at her office door before returning his gaze to the screen of hisptop.


    Could it be what¡¯s making her sad all the time?. The fact that she¡¯s got another different personality no one knows?. Tons of questions flooded his mind as he stared at the pictures.


    He was so engrossed that he didn¡¯t realise Selene had stepped out of the office and was staring at him.


    ¡°Wayne are you okay¡­. you look like you¡¯ve seen a ghost,¡± she queried noticing how agitated he looked.


    Wayne whipped his head up to stare at her. He suddenly remembered the incident of the dead man. it was the same mansion he had taken her to. And he remembered how drunk she was that night. He forces himself not to believe she was responsible for his death.


    He shut the lid of theptop and pushed to his feet. he stalked towards her and stopped inches away from her.


    ¡°Selene¡­¡± He started slowly, staring her amber colored eyes intently. ¡°Are you hiding anything?¡± He asked. Selene knot her brows and blinks.


    ¡°What do you mean Wayne?.¡± She answered and bite down at her lips. Wayne sighs and held her by the arm before leading her into the office. Once the door shut close behind them he let go of her arm and folded his arms.


    ¡°That night I found you drunk, who were you meeting up with?¡± He deadpans and Selene froze go her spot, her heart racing.


    ¡°Uh¡­ um¡­. it was some client Wayne¡­ I told you before¡­ remember?¡± She stuttered and run her palm through her hair.


    ¡°A client?, doesn¡¯t he have a name?¡± He probed. Selene walked past him as she could almost feel her heart jump out of her chest. why his he asking such questions!, does he know anything?. She took in a deep breath before answering.


    ¡°I don¡¯t think I can recall his name Wayne, more so I wasn¡¯t satisfied with the offer he had so we didn¡¯te to an agreement¡­. why the sudden questioning Wayne?¡± She asks and walked over to the cab.. She bite down at her lips when she remembered how he had touched her on the bar counter.


    Wayne watched her intently, taking note of how unsettled she looked with the questions. She turned and she was already sipping on a ss of ros¨¦.


    ¡°Nothing Selene I just remembered a man was found dead right in that area three days after the meeting¡± Selene nced at him over the rim of her cup. Good thing the wine was doing a lot to calm her nerves.


    ¡°Yeah, I had the news too Wayne and I couldn¡¯t be more concerned. It makes us think we aren¡¯t safe in our homes anymore¡± She sighed, hating the fact that she was lying through her teeth. He closed the distance between them and he gently took the ss from her hand, setting it carefully on the counter. He cupped her cheeks and stared right at her.


    Damn!, could someone this beautiful hurt a fly?. But what if she could hurt more than just a fly?. Selene curled her toes, already reacting to his touch.. Her heart raced tremendously, not in fear but the fact that he was so close to her.


    ¡°Look, I know I¡¯m just your friggin secretary but you can¡¯t pretend nothing is happening between us. You and I know we¡¯re attracted to each other. So Selene if there¡¯s something bothering you, I¡¯m here for you. You don¡¯t have to keep it to yourself. You could talk to me about it selene¡±


    His voice carried lots of emotions and she could swear there were butterflies in her tummy singing happily. Tears flooded her eyes which she blinked away.


    There was no need dragging him into this. She¡¯d just have to kill the rest of those bastards who had hurt her and move on. She¡¯s gonna confess to wayne she¡¯s falling for him and she hoped he did to. So she smiled and shook her head.


    ¡°No Wayne¡­. there¡¯s nothing bothering me. I guess I just feel a little bit drained these past few days.¡± She breathe out and Wayne sighs. Godammit, this is all so confusing. Is he really just gonna jump into conclusions that she was a bad person. Maybe it was a coincidence. But how about the blood on her palms?.


    He stepped back and sighed. ¡°Alright¡­. I just hope you¡¯re saying the truth¡­. I just hope so¡± He gave her a small smile before striding out of the office. Selene shut her eyes and blew out a breathe. Good grief!. What the heck just happened!, Wayne is suspecting her?. How did hee to suspect her!. She groaned internally and chugged down her drink, raking her fingers at her hair continuously.


    She¡¯s got to be fast about this. She couldn¡¯t afford to let anyone know she¡¯s an Enchantress. None must know or it¡¯s gonna be bad for her. She carried the bottle of ros¨¦ and sat down at her desk.


    She¡¯s gonna find the guys left, kill them at once and continue with her life. She¡¯d try to move on, she couldn¡¯t afford to lose Wayne, not when she has started falling for him.


    Stacey smirked triumphantly at the screen of theptop has Wayne sent her a text.


    WAYNE: HOW THE FUCK DID YOU GET THIS PICTURES?.


    she chuckled and sipped at her cocktail. Damn, who knew he¡¯d be texting her. Wayne never had time for her and now he¡¯s giving her the attention she yearned for. She dropped the ss on the nightstand before replying.


    STACEY: THAT DOESN¡¯T MATTER, YOU DON¡¯T BELIEVE SHE¡¯S EVIL HUH?.


    She sent it before swinging her legs out of bed and carrying theptop out of the room. Zoey and Melissa were at the spa already and they didn¡¯t know any of her ns. She¡¯s gonna make it a surprise to them, when she finally got Wayne. She plumped down the couch as another text came in.


    WAYNE: THAT¡¯S FOR ME TO DECIDE, STOP WHATEVER YOU¡¯RE DOING STACEY!


    She scowled as she read the message. Never!, his he trying to defend her. She was a witch for fuck sake and she¡¯s not gonna back down till she¡¯s exposed her. She would never get Wayne if that¡¯s her n. She shut theptop close before getting off the chair to dress up. She needs to trail after her again.


    ********


    ¡°The clients from chicago needs our products again, only this one is gonna be arge scale, we need to visit the production site to see how good our products are. ¡± Selene tells wayne as he drove her home for the day. He looked so withdrawn today and for once he wasn¡¯t smirking as usual.


    ¡°Alright¡­. I¡¯d add that to your schedule once I drop you off¡± He mutters and continues driving. Selene bite down at her lips and looked out of the window.


    She hadn¡¯t been able toe up with any information on the two guys, she had been stuck to herptop the rest of the day trying her possible best to find them all to no avail. She returned her gaze to wayne as he drove and she sighed.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    ¡°Are you mad at me¡­. you¡¯ve been awfully quiet throughout the ride¡± She quiered watching the road ahead. Wayne cocked his brows at her and chuckled.


    ¡°No Selene, I¡¯m not angry at you. I¡¯m just stressed out I guess¡± He sighed and continues steering the wheels. What¡¯s stacey up to. For her to know so much about Selene that only means she¡¯s been stalking her.


    What does she wants to do with whatever info she gets about Selene?. He raked his hand at his hair and continued driving her home.


    He stopped minutester at her mansion gates and killed the engine. He huffed, unstrapped his belt and stepped out of the car. Opening her own side of the door, he watched her get out and he shut the door close.


    ¡°Goodnight¡± She smiled up at him and he nods, cupping her cheeks and cing a tender kiss on her lips. A soft sigh escapes her lips at the thrill that shot through her.


    ¡°Goodnight¡± He mouths, and let¡¯s go of her. He watched her get into the mansion gates before getting into the car and driving off.


    Meters away, a distraught Stacey gripping to the steering in shock and gaping at her. Anger threatened to pull her apart as she watched selene get into thepound.


    ¡°How dare her!¡± She growled. Here she was thinking she hadn¡¯t bewitched him with her powers. But now she could see the crazy bitch bad fine that. She had gotten Wayne too. Just as she did to Zach and the lots of hot guys in Miami. She hit the the steering in frustration. Selene had better watch her back, she¡¯s gonna strike soon. She ignite the engine as her phone rings. She cussed, grabbed it from the dashboard and frowned when she saw the call ID disy Wayne. She calmed herself by taking long deep breaths before answering the call


    ¡°Wayne¡± She mutters into the phone.


    ¡°Hey Stacey¡­. could we meet up for dinner tonight?¡± He says and she blinks her eyes in surprise. A date!?. A smile broke out on her face immediately and she nods.


    ¡°Oh!¡­ yes Wayne I would!¡± She replies without concealing the excitement.


    ¡°Thank you, I¡¯d text you the location, we meet in an hour.¡± He says and hangs up immediately. Stacey remained that way for some seconds before grinning widely. Nothing else matters again. She stepped on the gas driving out wildly.

 CHAPTER 34

    Zoey tiptoes down the hallway towards Stacey¡¯s bedroom and Melissa trailed behind.


    ¡°C¡¯mon Zoey stop whatever you¡¯re nning on doing! Stacey would be mad if she finds out!¡± Melissa groans, poking her back.


    Zoey clucks her tongue and turns the knob. The door opens and she grins.


    ¡°Hell she didn¡¯t lock it up this time¡± Zoey says and steps in looking around the bedroom.


    ¡°Stacey would kill us if she finds out we are going through her stuffs Zoey¡± Melissa warns.


    ¡°Jeez mel could you drop it already¡­ there¡¯s no how she would find out unless you wanna be a bber beak and spill it to her!¡± She rolled her eyes and moved to the nightstand. She stared down at theptop on top and nods.


    ¡°Yeah, This is theptop she¡¯s always glued to all day. She skips works and always feigning sick. What is she up to huh?.¡± Zoey voice out and sits on the bed, cing theptop on her thighs. Melissa puffed out and plonk down beside her.


    ¡°You think she¡¯s hiding something?¡± She asks Zoey as she watch theptop booth on.


    ¡°Not just hiding something Mel, but i feel she¡¯s up to something or why is she always skipping work, feigning sick and always going out?. it looks suspicious mel and I must know what she¡¯s up to¡± She expound and stared at the screen.


    ¡°Fuck!. she set a passcode on it!¡± Zoey groans and palms her cheeks.


    ¡°Woah!, she never does that, now I think I¡¯m getting curious too¡± Melissa says and folds her arms.


    Zoey itched her hair as she thought of a possible passcode. Infact Stacey has never been a fan of password and if she ever has one it would be easy to decipher.


    She tried her birthday year and sighed as it didn¡¯t unlock. Melissa exchanged looks with her.


    ¡°How about her grad year, she had used that once you know¡± she suggested and Zoey smiles.


    ¡°That should work!¡± She voice out and punched in


    the password.


    ¡°Shit!¡± She cussed as it declined ess again.


    ¡°Godammit Zoey this should probably make you back off. let¡¯s get the hell out of here Stacey might be here soon!¡± Melissa spat out already getting off the bed.


    Zoey shut her eyes, wracking her head for the right passcode.


    ¡°Alright onest trial and if it doesn¡¯t work I¡¯m out¡± Zoey pleas and stared at the screen. A small smile crept up her lips.


    ¡°Wow!, I¡¯m so dumb!. I¡¯m sure she would have used anything pertaining to wayne as her passcode.¡± Zoey chortles and punched in Wayne¡¯s birth year.


    ¡°Gotcha¡± Sheughed as it opens. Melissa gasps and resume sitting beside her. Zoey dtes her eyes as she clicked on the email icon.


    ¡°I heard her talking to someone about emailing Wayne some stuffs. I couldn¡¯t hear her clearly but she sounded serious¡± Zoey exins as she scrolled down different mails.


    She stops on the one sent to wayne and clicked on it. It opens and Selene pictures pops on the screen. Zoey knots her brows and scroll down the pictures. She shot melissa an rming look as she goes through each of them.


    ¡°Ain¡¯t this Selene¡¯s pictures?, I mean the hottest bitch in Miami?¡± She mutters as she scrutinizes the pictures carefully.


    ¡°Hell who wouldn¡¯t recognize her! But why does Stacey have her pictures!, and jeez Mel, I can make out her palms in one of the pictures they are full of blood!¡± Zoey runs a palm down her face and ced theptop on the bed. Scared to her wits. What does all this mean?.


    ¡°Melissa!. For all we know Stacey is not a fan of Selene. And this looks like Stacey was stalking her. We need to find out what she¡¯s up to. I¡¯m sure this has to do with Wayne and it looks bad.¡±


    ¡°So w-hat are we gon-na do?¡± Melissa stutters, clearly not in approval of what she was doing. Zoey gets off the bed and stride to the door, she took a cautious look down the hallway before mming the door shut and returning to the bed.


    ¡°Easy mel, we just have to keep checking herptop who knows we might stumble on something¡± Zoey says and grabs theptop. Melissa mped her lips shut and heaved.


    ¡°Alright, I just hope we don¡¯t get caught¡± She mutters and joined Zoey on the bed.


    *****


    Stacey looked around the plush restaurant and her heart raced tremendously. Goodness!, did Wayne really book this sort of restaurant for thier dinner date?.


    Her heart almost exploded with joy at the thought of Wayne giving into her request. Maybe he finally saw that she loved him and he was already falling for her too.


    Hell she doesn¡¯t care about his age. Even if she¡¯s way older than him, it doesn¡¯t matter. She smoothened down her red shoulder length hair and stared at the entrance for the thousandth time.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    Thankfully she had dyed it days ago and it had concealed the annoying grey hairs that wasing earlier than expected. She¡¯s just thirty five dammit!.


    She had arrived thirty minutes earlier, she was scared he mighte before her and she couldn¡¯t bear the thought of him waiting for her.


    She sipped anxiously on her d of water and waited for him to show up. She didn¡¯t have to wait too long because minutester she watched the double doors of the restaurant swing open and Wayne, dashing as ever walked in.


    ¡°Oh my!¡± She purred as she stared at his perfect body. She returned her gaze to her drink, he must catch her staring.


    Wayne looked around the restaurant and finally spotted Stacey. He sighed, stuck his hand into his pants pocket and stalked to the table. In as much as he doesn¡¯t wants to be here, he had to see her.


    He needs to find out how she got those pictures and he needs to find out what she¡¯s up to.


    ¡°Evening Stacey, I see you¡¯re early.¡± He greets as he gets to the table, taking the seat opposite her. Stacey smiled, showing off a silver tooth.


    ¡°He-y Wa-yne, I didn¡¯t know you were h_ere already¡± She stuttered, trying to keep calm. Wayne stopped himself from rolling his eyes at her. A waiter approaches thier table and takes thier order. They both settled for just drinks. Wayne didn¡¯t have the time to eat and Stacey was too anxious to eat.


    ¡°So Stacey I¡¯d be very quick so we wouldn¡¯t waste out time here, it¡¯s about Selene, and the pictures you sent¡± He started immediately the waiter drops their order and leaves.


    A deep frown settles on Stacey¡¯s face which she didn¡¯t care to hide. He called her here just to talk about the pictures.


    Godammit!, who the fuck is Selene that he was so concerned about her. She tried to push away the sight of Wayne kissing Selene and she gave him a faux smile.


    ¡°What about it Wayne, you don¡¯t believe what you saw?¡± She blurt out, taking a sip of her drink to hide her anger. Wayne sighed and shook his head.


    ¡°That not important right now Stacey, how did you get the pictures?¡± He says impatiently. Stacey sighed and sets the cup on the table.


    ¡°Easy, I was stalking her, and please could we drop this talk about Selene and focused on what we came for.¡± Stacey says trying not to lose it. The mention of Selene usually makes her stomach churn.


    Wayne chuckled lowly.


    ¡°But that is what I came for. I really wanna know why you¡¯re stalking her and what you n to do with those pictures.¡± Wayne grits out.


    Stacey mped her lips shut in anger. So he came here only because of Selene. What the fuck is wrong with him??


    ¡°Fine Wayne seems you think Selene is a goody two shoes I¡¯d tell you what she is!. She¡¯s a witch Wayne. A blood thirsty witch. she¡¯s gonna make you fall for her just as she did to Zach and then she¡¯d use you as she pleases!¡± Stacey reveals and watched Wayne expression go dark.


    ¡°For you to know so much about her that means you¡¯ve been poking your nose Into her business Stacey. Selene isn¡¯t who you think she is, and even if she is that ain¡¯t your business. So stop whatever thing you¡¯re trying to do and focus on getting yourself a fiancee okay!¡± Wayne tried to keep his voice down but few people were turning to stare at them.


    Stacey froze to her seat, surprised that he¡¯d say such hateful words to her. Wayne sighed and brought his voice lower.


    ¡°Look Stacey you¡¯re not getting any younger and you should quit chasing wild dreams. I don¡¯t mind being your friend if only you could see me as one. Stop trying to ruin other people so you could prove to me that you love me. It doesn¡¯t work that way and no matter what you do, we can never be together okay?¡± Wayne says calmly but anger bellied his words.


    Stacey felt tears prickle her eyes as he slipped out a few dor bills and slipped it across the table.


    ¡°Goodnight Stacey¡± He says and got off the chair. Stacey watched him walk out of the restaurant and what she felt was anger, pure anger. He¡¯s right she¡¯d never be able to get him. And if she can¡¯t then no one will.


    Selene head throbbed painfully as she sipped on her cup of coffee. It waste at night and yet she couldn¡¯t sleep. Wayne upied her mind and the thought of getting rid of herst two rapists made sleeping far from her. She stared down the city through the wall to ceiling ss windows and sighed. Good grief!, She¡¯s tried all her possible best to find those guys but it wasn¡¯t working.


    The fact that wayne was getting suspicious of her only made her restless. She was falling crazily for him and she couldn¡¯t afford to lose him. No one would want to be with a blood thirsty girl like her and she was determined no one would know.


    She drained her cup and returned to the huge bed. She slipped under the covers and picked up her phone


    She can¡¯t give up just now. She would go back to the tons of messages countless guys usually sent her. She¡¯d text every single one of them back, requesting for thier pictures and she. would go through every one of them. If luck was on her side she would find them, and they had better be ready for her. None of those bastards would go scot free. They¡¯d pay with their blood¡­ she¡¯d make sure of that.

 CHAPTER 35

    Wayne steps out of the car and shut it close. Puffing out tiredly he stalked to their apartment door and walked in.


    ¡°Wayne¡± Miguel greets as he gets into the living room.


    ¡°Hey ol¡¯ man¡± He smiles tiredly at him. Susan and Fiona chattering voice drifted from the kitchen and he sighed. Miguel had decided to spend a few weeks with them before moving back to Los Angeles.


    He lodged into an hotel nearby and he made sure he was always around to keep Susan and Fiona¡¯spany. Fiona couldn¡¯t be any more happier and has began to return to her old self again.


    ¡°You look exhausted¡­ Work¡¯s draining you out?¡± Miguel raised a brow.


    ¡°No Miguel, I just need to rest that¡¯s all, tell mom I¡¯m not gonna have dinner¡­.. Goodnight¡± He says listlessly and stalk to his bedroom. Thefortable atmosphere greeted him once he closes the door and he sighs, kicking of his shoes immediately.


    Why does he feel like Stacey would go on with whatever thing she was doing?.


    He badly wants to forget what she had said but he couldn¡¯t. Her words rang out in his mind, keeping him restless as he settled in for the night.


    What if he finds out what she said was true, what if she¡¯s really evil?. Wayne rakes his hair in agitation.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    Evil doesn¡¯t seem to go well with someone as beautiful as Selene. He just hoped Stacey was wrong, he really hoped so. He¡¯s getting attracted to selene in ways he couldn¡¯t understand and if it was the truth, he doesn¡¯t know how he¡¯d take it.


    The pounding in her head only increased as Selene watch tons of messages pop on her screen as regard her earlier resolve. She nced at the table clock and it was well past midnight. She sighed and itched her eyes before fixating her gaze on her phone.


    She had texted a lot of them and she didn¡¯t have to wait too long before they started responding to her messages. Pictures upon pictures of guys popped on the screen of her phone.


    She had asked a maid to bring in a full jug of coffee and right now she had a cup in hand while the jug sat on the nightstand, half filled.


    Emotions geared her on. Making her want to find those guys earlier than usual. She should get done with this. Once and all. Even if it meant staying up all night to go through thier pictures then hell she¡¯d do just that.


    Memories of the way Wayne touched her assailed her and she tried not to let it take over her sanity.


    What had he done to her in just a short period of time?. His eyes, smirking face and firm build was what could make a girl stomach churn-it made her stomach churn.


    She leaned back as she began to study every photo. She knew them. The faces of her rapists was one that had stuck to her like a leach, and even if they suddenly grow horns, she¡¯d still recognise them right away.


    Hours seemed to pass slowly, tiringly. She had looked through almost all the pictures they sent her and she still couldn¡¯t find them. They seemed elusive and that only made her anger deepen.


    Her back aches terribly and she was having bags already. The jug of coffee was empty and she was feeling dizzy. Tried as she could she to stay awake, she couldn¡¯t. She leaned against the headboard and soon she had drifted off to sleep, phone in hand and lips parted open in weariness.


    Zoey sat behind the wheel of their office car as she drove to work. The morning sun streamed in and the bustling around them did nothing to stop the uneasy feeling she felt. Melissa sat beside her and was running ab through her bangs.


    What they had found outst night was scary as well as surprising. It appeared Stacey was creating an article about Selene.. And something about her being a witch. it was darn scary and Zachary Campbell seems to be a part of it too. Stacey hadn¡¯t retuned that night. She texted she would be sleeping over at an hotel. That had given them ample time to go through herptop.


    ¡°What do you think she wants to do with that article Zoey¡± Melissa cuts through her stream of thoughts and she spares her a nce.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know¡± She shrugged. ¡°But what I¡¯m sure of is that she¡¯s doing this for Wayne, her love for Wayne is getting a lot more intense than expected.¡± Zoey shakes her head as she rounds a turn.


    ¡°Good grief!, why does she have to be so adamant on getting Wayne to herself, it¡¯s high time she snapped out of her dreand Zoey!¡± Melissa spat out, annoyed at Stacey¡¯s obsession.


    ¡°So what are we gon do with what we discovered. Do we leave her and watch her ruin someone else¡¯s life all because of some stupid thing she has for Wayne?. If Selene is in love with Wayne and he his too why can¡¯t she just back off, there are thousands of hot dudes in Miami¡± Melissa palmed her temple as cars zipped past them.


    Zoey chuckles lowly. ¡°Leave that to me girlie, We can¡¯t blow our cover yet, we need to also go through her phone, and if I found out she¡¯s gone further with her ns, then I¡¯d be d to do whatever I wish to do with it¡± She gave her a sly smile before rounding a corner and stepping on the gas.


    ??????


    Selene woke up with a start¡­ and a groan. she clutched at her head and yawned groggily.


    ¡°Shit!¡± She cuss, wincing at the dull pain at her neck. The coffee had done more harm than good. She pushed the covers off her body and swung her legs out of bed. She had slept off while looking through the pictures. She sighed, angry at the fact that her search was futile. But she wasn¡¯t nning on giving up. She rummaged through her drawer for some aspirins and threw it into her mouth, pushing it down with a can of water.


    She stripped off her clothings and walked to the ensuite. Minutester she emerged with a towel draped around her self and stalked to her closet.


    She dressed up in a body fitting skirt and top before running a brush through her hair. Wayne would be here to pick her anytime soon and she couldn¡¯t wait. She loved the way he stared at her,plimented her off how she pretty she looked or the times he stole a quick kiss from her. It seemed natural. Like a boyfriend- girlfriend thing.


    Her phone dings as she applied make up and she retrieves it from the bed. More pictures pops on her screen and she scrolled through them, sighing inaudibly. A photo catches her attention and she pause to stare at it. She dtes her eyes and zoom at it. A tanned skin guy smiling widely stared back at her.


    ¡°Motherfucker!¡± She scowled at the screen. She fist her palm as anger surged through her. She¡¯s found one of them. Hell!, she just did.

 CHAPTER 36

    Selene glowered at the pictures as she fought down the urge to smash the phone against the wall.


    ¡°You asshole!. I¡¯m gonna make sure your death is just as miserable for putting me into so much stress!.¡± She grit out in anger.


    A knock sounded at the door and she cussed and tossed the phone to the bed.


    ¡°Who¡¯s it..e in¡± She mumbled as she resumes applying make up on her face.


    ¡°Morning ma¡¯am Selene¡± One of the maid greets as she gets in. ¡°Ummm, your secretary has arrived already¡± She informs, watching Selene keenly. Selene turns to stare at her and her eyes twinkle happily.


    Many of the workers knew her closeness to the hot looking secretary wasn¡¯t a formal one.


    Infact they had suspected right away that they were a thing now. Damn she¡¯s got taste, her secretary was freaking hot!.


    ¡°Uh¡­ could you tell him I¡¯d be down in a minute?¡± Selene breathes out, hating the way her heart raced at the mention of his name.


    ¡°Alright ma¡¯am¡­¡± She gave her a small smile before striding out of the door.


    Selene blew out a breathe and stared at her reflection on the mirror.


    Shivers shot through her as she imagined him raking his eyes down her figure and telling her she looked beautiful. She palmed her cheeks.


    ¡°Oh boy!¡­ you¡¯ve got to have a grip on youreself Selene.¡± She mutters, taking a final look at herself before putting on her ts.


    She grabs her phone and shoves it into her bag. Now she has found one of her rapists, She would keep searching for thest one, arrange a meeting with them and finish them once and all.


    She needs to put this behind her and focus on her life squarely.


    *


    ¡°Hey¡­¡± Wayne mutters as they pull up at thepany. She unstraps her belt and whips her head to stare at him. Throughout the ride she¡¯s been aware of his gaze, and the smilepliment he gave about her had made her nervous throughout the ride.


    ¡°I know I¡¯ve said it before, but I¡¯d say it again. You look damn sexy in this dress you wore¡± Wayne says huskily and Selene sucked in her breath, cheeks flushing warmly.


    His look was so intense that she was feeling hot even if the air conditioner was turned on. She pursed her lips and forces a nervous smile.


    Wayne smirks as he watches her fidget with her purse. He reached for her hair and ran his hand through it, taking out the band and watching her hair cascade down her back. She gulped as she watched his lips curl into a smirk. Right now she wished she was naked with him, and he was trailing hot kisses down her body.


    He hummed and tossed the hair band to the dashboard and let his palm rest on her thighs.


    ¡°Wayne¡­¡± Selene breathe out at the warmth from his hand. She wished she couldn¡¯t react so quickly to his touch.


    ¡°You saying something?¡± Wayne taunts as he trail his hand further up her dress. She shook her head immediately.


    ¡°Good¡­ I brought you something¡± He reached for the bag at the backseat and hand it to her. She frowned and opened it and brought out the first thing she saw. A single rose flower. She frowned at him.


    ¡°You bought me this?.¡± She voiced out and he nods. Her heart fluttered and she gave him a small smile.


    ¡°Thanks¡± She mutters, her eyes filling up. He has a way of making her feel like a high school girl who¡¯s crazily in love.Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.


    ¡°That¡¯s not all¡­ go on¡± He nudged and she blinks and reached for whatever was inside. She hung her mouth open at the ck tiny strapped dress. it was damn pretty and provocating and would surely bring out all her curves. She reached for thest item, a pair of heels.


    Her heart gave a ridiculous thump and she knot her brows, trying not to freak out.


    ¡°I figured out you might need some time off work, how about I treat you out to dinner tonight¡± it was more of amand than a request. She gazed at him, excitement bubbling in her chest.


    Half conscious of the way her heart thumped rapidly and the butterflies somersaulting in her tummy, she breathe in deeply.


    ¡°Sure thing¡­ Wayne¡± She clutched at the dress and nod.


    ¡°Thanks¡± He mutters and lean in to kiss her. He kisses her slowly- intensely. Her tummy clenches as he withdraws, already feeling wet just at the feel of his mouth on hers.


    He gave her a cocky smile before opening the door and stepping out. She bite down at her lips and stuffed the stuffs into the bag. Okay she needs to get a grip on herself. it¡¯s just a friggin dinner date Selene!.


    Her own side of the door opens and she dropped the bag on the passenger seat before stepping out. He shut the door close and it was his usual formal self, acting as though nothing happened in the car minutes ago. She run her palm down her hair. She was d that even with the feeling that her life was a boring mess, she was lucky to have him- damn lucky.


    Zach watched the conference meeting go on with little interest. They were pointing out the possibility that thepany fame might dwindle if it goes on the way it is. Zach had be negligent as the CEO and it was getting pretty bad.


    ¡°Mr Campbell¡± one of his female board members calls and he cocked his brows.


    ¡°We know this might seem a little bit pushy, but we suggest you give yourself a break. We suggest you leave Michael to run things for the time being. We also have shares in thepany Campbell and whatever affects thepany, affects us too¡± The whole members nods their head in agreement.


    Zach scoffs angrily. ¡°We?. woah!¡­ So y¡¯all have been saying things in my absence huh?¡± He raises his voice a notch as he stared at the woman who had suggested it.


    ¡°Mr Campbell¡­¡± She starts but he cut her off with a re.


    ¡°Now listen up all of you¡­¡± He yells watching as shock crossed their faces. ¡°I am the ceo of thispany and it would remain so. Michael or no one here is taking over as the CEO okay!. I can handle mypany well!¡­ and I don¡¯t need any of you to do so for me!¡± He fumes and pushed to his feet.


    ¡°Where you off to Campbell¡± Michael, stout and bulky asks in surprise.


    ¡°I¡¯m getting the fuck out of here Micheal¡­ abort whatever stupid ns you have in over throwing me okay!¡­. this meeting is over!¡± He grits before storming out of the office.


    Hell he knew they were shocked at his behavior. He¡¯s never acted this way towards them. He stormed into his office to see Stacey sitted at the couch and sipping a ss of drink.


    ¡°What are you doing here Stacey¡± He groans and he slumped down his seat.


    ¡°What does it look like I¡¯m here for!¡± Stacey hissed as she got off the couch.


    ¡°Those assholes I have as board of directors!, what guts!. They want me to step down as CEO and let another person im the responsibilities!¡­ No motherfucking way!¡± Zach reached for her ss of wine and chugged it down.


    ¡°Why do they want that?¡± She queried. He shakes his head and stalk to the cab.


    ¡°They feel thepany reputation is dwindling cos I don¡¯t handle it the way I do¡­. that¡¯s stupid!¡± He pours himself a ss of vodka and chugs it down his throat.. Stacey sighs.


    ¡°They are right Zach, you haven¡¯t been paying attention to yourpany¡­. and Selene is the sole cause of it. She trapped you with her evil powers Zach and don¡¯t be surprised if she¡¯s the cause of yourpany¡¯s status¡± A dark shadow crossed Zach features and he turned to her.


    ¡°Then I¡¯m gonna make her pay Stacey, for making me this way!. Those powers she¡¯s got wouldn¡¯t be able to save her. by the time I¡¯m done with her¡± He sits the ss back on the counter and heaves. She nods her head in satisfaction


    ¡°I met up with Waynest night and I told him about Selene. He seemed really angry and told me to back out from whatever I¡¯m doing¡­ He also told me to stay away from him!¡­ hell I feel like strangling her right now!, she¡¯s used her powers on Wayne!¡­. I¡¯m sure of it!¡± She seethed.


    ¡°Being angry isn¡¯t gonna help Stacey, we need to do something¡­. it looks like we aren¡¯t going anywhere with our ns¡± Zach sighs and returns to his seat. A bitter chuckle escapes her mouth.


    ¡°Your right Zach¡­. and I think I know what to do¡­ I¡¯d start by severing whatever thing is going on between them¡± She fold her arms and chuckled softly.


    Gwen watched Selene as she touched up her makeup. It was evening already and it looked like she was going on a date. She looked really sexy, in the ck dress she wore.


    She smirked, without anyone telling her she new who she was going out with.


    ¡°Let me help you brush down your curls¡± Gwen tells her and takes the brush from her.


    ¡°Thanks¡± She gives her a smile.


    ¡°You like him don¡¯t you¡± Gwen muses after some time. Selene furrows her brows at her.


    ¡°Oh c¡¯mon ma¡¯am¡­ I can see it all over your face. you¡¯re glowing differently so you don¡¯t have to lie about it¡± She taunts and Selene chuckles.


    ¡°I do Gwen¡­ but I¡¯m just scared¡± She breathe out sadly.


    ¡°Huh?¡­. are you scared he might not see you the same way you do¡­.. No one would refuse to be with you selene. You¡¯re Miami¡¯s hottest bitch remember¡± She rolls her eyes and theyugh.


    ¡°Not that¡­ I just feel like things may not go on the same way. Good things don¡¯tst Gwen¡± If only she knew of her revenge. The blood she¡¯s wasted them she¡¯d understand perfectly.


    Gwen drops the brush and clucks her tongue.


    ¡°I¡¯m certain this is gonnast Selene¡­ you guys look perfect each other and from the way Wayne looks at you¡­. I¡¯m sure he sees you the same way. Enough about this talk, focus on tonight¡± She winked mischievously and Selene giggles.


    ¡°It¡¯s just a date Gwen stop getting silly thoughts into your head.¡± She gets off the office chair and smoothen down her dress. Gwen looks her down


    ¡°Damn¡­ I¡¯m sure no sane guy would be able to take his eyes off you.¡± Good grief!, how could someone have suchrge backside!. Selene chuckless nervously.


    ¡°I¡¯d take care of the office¡­. get going girl¡± Gwen says tugging her towards the door. Selene breathe in before opening the door and stepping out. She watched Wayne whip his head at her direction and he¡¯s checking her out, or eye raping her.


    She stalked nervously to him just as her phone dings. Since she¡¯s looking for thest guy, she checks any messages that is sent to her.


    She pull out her phone and swiped at the screen. It was a message.


    HEY GIRL, WANNA KNOW WHAT YOUR SECRETARY HAS BEEN UP TO?.


    She frowned and scroll down her phone. The person had sent some pictures. She grips tightly to her bag as her eyes stops on the pictures. The same pictures Stacey had taken of her.


    Her heart mmed rapidly against her chest and she whip her head up to stare at him in desbelief.


    He¡¯s been stalking her?¡­.

 CHAPTER 37

    Selene heart clenched at the thought of him being her stalker. Who sent this pictures to her? Was he the only one stalking her? Does he know she¡¯s a killer?? Her heart dropped at the thought and she struggled to keep calm.


    ¡°Are you alright?, you look like you¡¯ve seen a ghost.¡± Wayne concerned voice jolts her from her reverie and she blinks rapidly. He reaches for her arm and stared down at her. Hell what¡¯s wrong why does she look so pale.


    Her heart thumped rapidly- fearfully. She stepped back that instant, heart in her mouth.


    ¡°Uh- I¡¯m fine w-ayne, I just need to make use of the restroom.¡± She dashed into the office before she could register his expression, and got into the ensuite bathroom, mming the door shut. Gwen frowned as she rushed into the ensuite before shrugging and resuming what she was doing.


    Selene walked shakily to the washbowl and turned on the faucet. Her heart wouldn¡¯t stop racing. She sshed cold water on her face, not minding if she had her make-up on. She grabbed her phone and stared at the pictures again. No!. it can¡¯t be!, the man she¡¯s falling for wouldn¡¯t do such.


    She remembered herst victim. She remembered the night this picture was taken. She had not nned on being brutal but he had tried to act smart. She had shot the guy thrice and though he was almost dying he had grasped her arms In a bid to hurt her and she had butted the gun continuously on his face. That was what made her hands bloody..


    She didn¡¯t have the patience to wash the blood off and had returned to her car that way. She was too weak too notice her surroundings. killing her victims has a way of draining her strength. She never knew that her secretary had been trailing her and taking¨C pictures.


    Tears burned her eyes and she sniffled. Was that the reason he agreed to work for her?. So he could find out who she really is?. She sucked in her breath and swiped at her phone. There¡¯s only one way to confirm if he¡¯s truly been stalking her. She has to text whoever sent this pictures. Sniffing, she run her fingers down her hair before texting.


    HI. DO YOU MIND TELLING ME WHO YOU ARE?


    She sent the message and shoved the phone into her clutch. She suddenly didn¡¯t feel like going on a date with him. But she couldn¡¯t bear to tell him so. He might just pester her with questions and she didn¡¯t want that.


    Selene touched up her makeup before striding out of the office to meet him. He was still waiting. He roam his eyes all over her.


    ¡°You good now?¡± He held her by the hand and watch her. She smiles and nod. Wayne sighs, pressing a kiss to her forehead.


    ¡°You had me worried, c¡¯mon we would bete for dinner¡± He wraps his arm around her and she leaned into him, Selene bite down at her lips, inhaling his manly scent and blinking back what seemed like tears.


    What if he¡¯s pretending to be attracted to her?. She doesn¡¯t understand why Wayne would do that to her. From thee way he looked at her, the way he touched her had triggered feelings that she thought she had buried long ago and he doesn¡¯t look like he¡¯s faking it. They stepped into the elevator and began to ride down.


    ¡°Why are you this sexy Selene?¡± Wayne says huskily as he lets go of her, raking his hand at his hair and looking her down. Selene gulped and she curl her toes, warm thrills shooting through her entire system. He has a way with words- hell, he does.


    ¡°I guess I was just lucky Wayne¡± She says giving him a watery smile. She saw his eyes re up with passion and that seems to send shivers down her spine. Wayne raises his hand to touch her hair and sighed at the softness. He stared at her amber colored orbs and sensuous lips and the dinner didn¡¯t matter anymore all he wants is to take this clothes off her.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    The door slides open before and he sighs and steps back. Selene hands are mmy as she stepped out of the elevator. They were almost close to the car when she spotted a figure across the street. He was staring at her. She stopped to stare at him but he disappeared into a mart store that moment. She got into the car and frowned. She recognized him. It was Bill, but what was he doing here?. She sighed and rxed into the seat as he drives out.


    Right now she¡¯s gonna forget about the pictures she saw and the fact that she saw Bill. The night was beautiful and she couldn¡¯t afford to ruin it.


    Leaning forward she tuned the stereo until her favourite song was sting out. She caught Wayne rolling his eyes at her choice of song and she chuckled before leaning back into her seat.


    Stacey mmed the door to her car shut with a smile stered on her face. She chuckles before walking into the apartment.


    ¡°Damn!¡­ I feel so good right now!¡± She says with a grin. Her eyes stops on Zoey on the couch.


    ¡°Stace¡­ where have you been to this time!¡± She breathe out. Stacey groans inaudibly. Such a snoop!.


    ¡°I went for a dinner date Zoey¡± She says listlessly, walking towards the flight of stairs.


    ¡°Are you sure that¡¯s what you¡¯ve been doingtely, dinner dates?¡± Zoey tried not to make her tone suspicious. She stop and whips her head to her direction.


    ¡°What do you mean by that Zoey?¡± She dtes her eyes and Zoey shrugs.


    ¡°Nothing Stace¡­ I¡¯m just asking¡± She gave her a faux smile.


    ¡°Then yeah Zoey, that¡¯s what I¡¯ve been up to¡± She rolled her eyes and began to walk up the stairs to her room. She shut the door close and tossed her bag to the bed. She kicked off her shoes and stripped her bare.


    Stacey chortled loudly as she imagined Selene¡¯s shock when she gets the pictures. Selene had texted back immediately but she decided not to check what she sent. She¡¯d let her die in suspense.


    She hummed a song as she draped a towel around her body, oblivious to the fact that Zoey was standing outside her door.


    Zoey waited till she heard the bathroom door m shut and the shower running before stealthily walking into her room. She tiptoed to the bed and searched through Stacey¡¯s bag, retrieving her phone immediately. She stared at the bathroom door cautiously, Stacey¡¯s hums drifted to her ears and she nods in satisfaction before swiping at her phone. What the hell is Stacey hiding!?.


    Wayne watched selene as she ate. He was conscious of the fact that lots of guys were staring at their table, staring lustfully at Selene. He fisted his palm under the table in anger. Moterfuckers!. was that all they saw in her- lust?. Didn¡¯t they see the fragile Selene, one who looks like she¡¯s going through a lot even If she doesn¡¯t show it?. He sighed and shook his head.


    ¡°The food is tasty Wayne, how the hell did you locate this restaurant¡± Selene muses as she stabbed a fork in her steak. Wayne chuckles.


    ¡°All you ever do is work yourself out Selene, you don¡¯t pay attention to stuffs like this¡± He cocked his brows at her and she chuckles quietly.


    ¡°It¡¯s not my fault Wayne¡­ I want Diamond corps to be at the top¡­ and wouldn¡¯t achieve that by beingzy.¡± She gave him a small smirk.


    ¡°You make it seem like you do a lot of work, all you ever do is sit your ass down eat up all of Gwen¡¯s meal¡± He mused, making herugh heartily. Even if it was just for a short time, she let herself believe everything was okay. Wayne had a way of making her feel so. Would this have an end?. Wayne could decide to stop working for her afterall he already had the money she used for thier mom¡¯s hospital bills. She blew out and pushed out the thoughts. Not now.


    *


    An hourter they were driving home in the convertible. Selene humming to n walker¡¯s Faded sting out from the stereo as Wayne drove wildly.


    ¡°Easy man, or we are gonna have the cops tailing our cab soon¡± She giggle, ring at him.


    ¡°Sure¡± He groans and steps on the gas.


    ¡°Wayne!¡± Sheughs, poking his arm as he increases the speed.


    ¡°Rx Selene, this is Miami remember?¡± He rakes his hand at his hair as he steered the wheels. Wayne watches Selene as sheughs humming and nodding to the music.


    She looked happy, and to think that it took only a dinner date for her to be this happy was mesmerizing. He hoped he could make her this way all the time. Her smile as intoxicating and he needs to see that side of her.


    He arrived at her mansion earlier than usual and drove in. He killed the engine and tuned down the volume of the radio. Selene arched her brows, she didn¡¯t realise they were home already. She bite down at her lips, hesitant to go in.


    ¡°Thanks Wayne¡­ for today¡± She breathed in as she stared at him. He cupped her cheeks and leaned in, kissing her fully on the lips.


    ¡°I guess I needed the break too¡± He says huskily as he withdraws. Selene looked down her palm, fiddling with it. How she wished he could live in with her just like Bill had.


    Wayne gets out and opens her side of the door. He notices her hesistance as she stepped out. Selene sighed, wishing she didn¡¯t have to be so lonely in this huge mansion. He couldn¡¯t leave her just yet and Selene heart fluttered as he took her by the hand and led her into the mansion. He could almost feel the re from the few guards sprawled out in thepound already.


    ¡°Evening ma¡¯am¡± One of the maids bowed slightly in greeting as she drooled at Wayne. She smiled in greeting, groaning internally at the way she stared at him.


    She made her way up to her room as Wayne followed behind. He noticed the mansion was too quiet forfort.


    ¡°You barely seem to have anyone to talk to Selene¡± Wayne says as they got into the room. She sighed and moved to the bed to sit, kicking off her heels immediately.


    ¡°Yeah, I fired Bill remember?¡± She mutters as she got off the bed and stalked to the closet. Wayne watches her every move.


    ¡°I think you should spill out what¡¯s on your mind Selene¡± He tells her and smirks. She gripped the handle of the closet and shut her eyes. Yeah, he could read her mind clearly. She wanted him to stay for the night, wanted him to feel every inch of his body and she wouldn¡¯t mind asking for it over and over again.


    She turned to meet his gaze. Ever so slightly she reached for her strap of her dress and slipped it over her shoulders. She gulped as it falls to the floor. Wayne eyes darkened as he watched her in only her underclothing. He couldn¡¯t get enough of her body.


    ¡°I want you Wayne, make me moan your name over and over again¡± She blink as her heart mmed hard against her chest. It doesn¡¯t matter if he was just her secretary, or she was Selene. Wayne groans as he pulled her close. She draped her hands around him and he lifts her till her legs were wrapped around his torso. Thier desperate lips met in a fierce kiss. Selene melted to his touch as she kissed him back, sighing at the feeling that washed over her. So long as she was with him It doesn¡¯t matter if she was a killer- nothing else matters.

 CHAPTER 38

    Selene¡¯s eyes fluttered open at the sound of water running. She yawned groggily and sat up. The space beside her was empty, Wayne was in the bathroom.


    She pulled theforter closely to herself and a small smile lits up her face as she remembersst night. They had stayed up all night, having wild passionate s?x. Wayne was a stallion, and he had made s?x so beautiful she couldn¡¯t ask for more.


    He had tattooed every inch of her body with kisses, riding her to peaks of ecstacy that had left her breathless and bereft. She sighed and pushed the covers off her body. She put on her robe, knotting it loosely at her front. She opens the nightstand and rummaged through for some contraceptives. She took some pills and threw it into her mouth. Selene uncap a bottle of water and gulped down some of it.


    The bathroom door opens and Wayne steps in shirtless with a towel draped around his waist.


    ¡°Hey, sleepyhead, up already?.¡± He coos as he stalks to her.


    ¡°Yeah¡± She mumured, as he kisses her lightly on the lips. The way hair stuck to his face and the way water dripped down his torso was making her nerves tingles¡­ oh Gawd!, not this morning Selene!.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t wanna wake you up¡­ you looked really tired¡­ afterst night¡± He drawled thest part and smirked. making her cheeks flush warmly. His he taunting her right now?.


    ¡°Uh¡­ I have some clean shirts and pants in the closet Wayne¡­ they would fit you just fine, I¡¯d go shower quickly¡± She brush past him but he caught her by the arm and drew her close.


    ¡°Not so fast belle¡± He says huskily as his gaze bore into her.


    ¡°Belle?¡± She raised a brow and bite down at her lips. He nodded trailing his finger down to her thighs and she sucked in her breath. He leans in, kissing her on the temple. Selene shut her eyes and shuddered as his hand rides up her robe, caressing the skin of her tummy.


    ¡°You want me to take this off¡­ and give you a nice scrub in the shower yes?¡± He taunted, as he trail light kisses down to the hollow of her neck. Selene hands syed against his wet abs and she sighed softly, unable to respond. How could she respond?, he was addling her sense of reasoning for pete¡¯s sake!.


    ¡°C¡¯mon belle¡­ you don¡¯t want that?¡­ I won¡¯t bite.¡± Wayne mumured against the skin of her neck and he gently bites down at it.


    ¡°Wayne¡­¡± She gasped softly as his palms cups the fleshy swell of her ?ss.


    ¡°Hmmm, say something selene.¡± His free hands cups her neck and he raises his head to kiss her sensuous lips. Selene sighs against his mouth as she kissed him back, tongues grazing each other as her heart raced.


    ¡°Ye-ah Wayne¡­ I w-ant that.¡± Godammit he¡¯s a total flirt!.


    ¡°Good girl¡± He chuckles, tugging at the knots of her robe till it came undone. Selene could feel her own wetness as her pulse raced. He let out what seemed like a groan as he grabbed her waist and heft her unto his shoulders.


    ¡°Wayne!¡± She giggled as he stalked to the bathroom, spanking her bare ass and making herugh. He drops her carefully once they get in and he shut the door behind them. Selene curled her toes on the bare tiles and stared up at him.


    He grabbed the can of hair wash and poured some into his palm. He massaged the liquid into her hair and she smiled.


    ¡°You¡¯re gonna get wet once the shower is turned on, should I take this off¡± She smiled mischievously as her hands trailed down to the towel. He arched his brows at her, gaze darkening.


    ¡°You want to?¡­¡± He massaged her scalp and she smirked.


    ¡°What do you think green orbs¡­ I could give you a nice scrub too¡± She tugged at the towel and took it off. Selene gulps at his already hardened bulge. She giggled and grabbed a can of lubricant.


    ¡°Hmmn¡­. how about I start by giving this big boy down here a nice massage?¡± She loved that she also had an effect on him. Wayne groans and let¡¯s go off her hair. He turned on the shower and the water cascades down her body.


    ¡°As you wish belle¡± He groaned as her slender fingers curled around his length. Her breath shuddered at how hard he was. She worked her hands up and down his length and he lets out a ragged groan. Wayne washed her hair, massaging her scalp as she massaged his bulge. His palm cups her b?obs and he squeezed at it, making her moan.


    Andrenaline coarsed through her entire system as he mps his mouth on her hardened nipple, sucking adroitly on it.


    ¡°Oh God!¡± She moaned, knowing she had awakened the devil in him. Wayne snakes his arm around her waist, pulling her closer till she was feeling his bulge against her entrance.


    ¡°Wayne!..¡± She moaned out as his tongue glided against her hardened n?pples. She shivered from hi assaults from the water. She drapes her arms around his neck and they resume kissing. She wants to touch him all over. She wants him buried deep inside of her. Hell she wants to moan his name till she goes voiceless. Wayne grabs her waist once more and lifts her up. Her legs curl around his torso as she feel his c?ck against her wet entrance. She sucked in her breath and held on to him and ever so slowly he thrust into her entrance, he was twice bigger and a strangled cry escaped her mouth. Selene gripped to his arms as she leaned back on his length, throwing her head back as he filled herpletely.


    ¡°F¨¹ck!¡± She moaned out, her stomach quivering as she held unto him for dear life. Wayne grabbed her ass pulled back, thrusting harder into her tight entrance.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    ¡°He let out a ragged groan and began pounding into her. Her nails dug into his flesh as she let out strings of strangled curses, moaning and squirming at the feeling that ravaged her. Her walls stretched and tightened around him as he pounded into her, the running shower muffling their passionate voices.


    Wayne veins throbbed, his muscles taut from the pleasure he drawed from selene. He¡¯s never had this sort of satisfaction with any girl. Even when he still had the money, he was never into anything serious, just short time flings and all.


    But hearing Selene moan his name as he thrusted into her was doing a lot to him- to his senses, and to his feelings also. Feelings he never knew existed. Hell!, he doesn¡¯t know what they were doing. Maybe they were just sexually attracted to each other, maybe he was just like the other guys who wanted her body but one thing he knows is, he doesn¡¯t want this to end. He gonna keep her to himself and dammit if he¡¯s gonna share. As long as she was with him, then he¡¯d make sure he keep her safe..


    Fiona stares out of the window as Miguel pulls over at the college parking lot. Excitement bubbles inside of her. She can¡¯t believe she¡¯s gonna resume college soon.


    ¡°C¡¯mon Fiona¡­ quit day dreaming and step out of the car.¡± Miguel groans as he unstraps his seatbelt and opens his own side of the door. He get out and put his sun shades on. Fiona joins him momentster, grinning. Her eyes roamed around therge college buildings and she clutched at her bag nervously. Miguel had decided to take care of her College entrance examination fees and she couldn¡¯t be any more happier.


    ¡°You excited huh?¡± Miguel asks as they began walking to one of the buildings. She giggled.


    ¡°Of course I am Miguel!, you don¡¯t know how much this means to me. I owe you a lot¡­ thanks so much!.¡± She mutter gratefully and Miguel stops to stare at her.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you ever have the idea that you owe me a lot Fiona. I¡¯m doing this cos I want to. I¡¯ve got no kids remember and hell I¡¯m your godfather and if there¡¯s anything you owe me¡­. repay by getting good grades okay?¡± He cocked his brows at her and she nods, flipping her hair to her back.


    ¡°Alright Miguel, I¡¯d keep that in mind¡± She grins widely and he nods and resumes walking. Fiona trailed behind, feasting her eyes on the effable buildings. She was so engrossed that she didn¡¯t realise when she bumped into something solid- or someone. She gasped and staggered, regaining herposure and staring up at the guy. He looks slightly¡­ familiar.


    ¡°Uh¡­. I¡¯m sorry I wasn¡¯t looking¡± She stuttered and side stepped him.


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing¡­ you new here huh?¡± He smiled at her and she nods, wracking her head trying to remember where she knew him.


    ¡°Nice meeting you¡­. I¡¯m Bill¡± He stretched his hand for an handshake and she hesistated a second before she shook him.


    ¡°Fiona¡± She gives him a small smile and he nods.


    ¡°Yeah¡­. I know¡­¡± He withdraws his hand immediately and with that he turned and stalked off. Fiona looked down at her palm and the small piece of paper he had passed on to her while they shook hands.


    She whipped her head up at him and dtes her eyes. She isn¡¯t so sure but she¡¯s sure she¡¯s seen this guy with Selene in those gossip magazines she usually read. The question is what is he doing here why did he give her a note, and how the hell does he know her!?.


    ¡°Fiona¡­¡± Miguel voice cuts through her thoughts and she whip her head to stare at him standing a few meters away.


    ¡°You okay?¡­ ¡± He knot his brows at her and she blinks and nods..


    ¡°Uh y-eah¡­. I was just carried away Miguel forgive me¡± She stuttered, shoving the piece of paper into her pants pocket before hastening her steps. She turned to stare at the Bill of a guy but he was gone. She frowned and clutched at her bag.


    As she got to Miguel and they started towards the building, she couldn¡¯t help but wonder what this note was all about¡­

 CHAPTER 39

    Melissa walks into her room to find Zoey sitting on the couch. She sighs and stalk to the closet.


    ¡°Really Zoey, it¡¯s morning¡­ you should get dressed for work already!¡± She gave her a disapproving look and threw her closet door open.


    ¡°Chill out oldie aren¡¯t you gonna hear what I¡¯ve got to say¡± Zoey mutters with an eyeroll.


    ¡°Fine¡­. but be quick about it¡± Melissa groans and shut the closet door close.


    ¡°I went through Stacey¡¯s phonest night¡± Zoey folds her arm and watch Melissa¡¯s shocked features.


    ¡°Godammit Zoey what the fuck is wrong with you!, what if she had caught you.. then we¡¯d be in big trouble and you know that!¡± Melissa palms her temple in exasperation.


    ¡°Well she didn¡¯t so cut the crap already!. She was in the bathroom while I went through her phone. I checked her emails, pictures and all but I didn¡¯t find anything until she was done having her bath¡­ ¡± Melissa watched Zoey with an upturned nose.


    ¡°What did you find then¡± She mutter, running her palm through her hair. Zoey nced at the bedroom door before returning her gaze to her and bringing her voice down a notch.


    ¡°She sent those pictures to selene¡­. and she used Wayne of taking those pictures!¡± She deadpans. Melissa widened her eyes in disbelief.


    ¡°Holy crap!, how could she do such!¡± Her voice was barely above a whisper and Zoey sighed.


    ¡°We¡¯ve got to act fast Mel. I can¡¯t watch Stacey ruin her life because of some stupid love she has for Wayne. There are other guys out there! Stacey should focus on them already¡± Zoey blurts out. her cheeks just as the door opens. They whip their head to the door as Stacey steps in.


    ¡°Zoey¡­ Melissa, what the fuck are you guys doing up here!¡± Stacey says as she ms the door shut. Zoey straightens up and exchange looks with Melissa.


    ¡°Uh¡­ we were discussing some things about the spa Stacey¡­. aren¡¯t youing along with us? Melissa cover up hastily. Stacey arched her brows at them before shaking her head.


    ¡°No¡­ I¡¯d catch up with you guys at noon¡­ you two just hurry up and get to work¡± She turned to walk out of the door.


    ¡°Stacey¡­¡± Zoey calls as she gets to the door. ¡°Is there something bothering you?, we are your friends remember you don¡¯t have to keep things from us¡± She says in concern. Stacey doesn¡¯t turn around.


    ¡°There¡¯s nothing I¡¯m worried about Zoey, I¡¯m just working on something¡­. and I¡¯m certain y¡¯all are gonna know what its all about soon¡± She smiles wryly before throwing the door open and walking out. Melissa shook her head sadly and shrugged.


    Miguel nced at Fiona as he drove back home. She¡¯s been quiet throughout the ride and he couldn¡¯t help but feel worried.


    ¡°Fiona¡­. what¡¯s eating you out huh¡­ is it about the entrance examination fees. I already told you not to worry about that didn¡¯t I?¡± Miguel queries. Fiona stares at him distractedly.


    ¡°Huh¡­. it¡¯s not about that Miguel. I¡¯m just tired I guess¡± Fiona returns her gaze out of the window, fiddling with her fingers.


    She hasn¡¯t been feeling too good ever since that guy called Bill had given her the note. Unfortunately she has not been able to read what was on it as Miguel had been with her while she was registering for the entrance examination.


    She couldn¡¯t help having this bad feeling that something was wrong somewhere.


    She sighed in relief as Miguel pulls up at their apartment minutester. She unstraps her belt and stepped out immediately.


    ¡°Uhmm, Miguel¡­. I¡¯m kind of e-xhausted, so I¡¯d go take a nap in my room¡± She mumbles and hurried to the front porch before he could reply. Fortunately Susan was out buying groceries. Fiona pushed the door open and padded to her bedroom. She mmed the door shut, slipped in the lock and tossed her bag on the bed.


    Reaching for the note in her pocket she stared at it, heaving slowly. Fiona sucked in her breath before opening the paper. She read the word out.


    ¡°HEY, KIDDO¡­ DO ME A FAVOR, TELL YOUR GOODY TWO SHOES BROTHER¡­ TO WATCH HIS BACK¡±


    Fiona gulped as she stared at the note. For one Bill had a nice handwriting¡­ too bad she couldn¡¯t see that now. Why the heck would he give her such note.


    ¡°First of¡­. I¡¯m not a kiddo!. I¡¯m Neen mister!¡± Fiona blurts out as though he was with her. She dropped the note on bed and reached for the bottle of water on the nightstand. She gulped down some of it to calm her nerves. She was literally shaky right now. She read the note once again and shuddered fearfully. Is Bill nning on hurting Wayne?. She remembered Wayne had told her Bill was sacked by Selene. Could it be he wants to get back at him?.


    ¡°Oh goodness he can¡¯t do that!¡­. Wayne did nothing wrong!¡± She muttered and plonked down the bed. She had no doubts that wayne was having an affair with Selene, though he failed to admit it. He had slept outst night and she had seen him in numerous gossip magazines. His eyes were all over in every damn picture.


    She couldn¡¯t bear the thought of Bill sabotaging thier bliss. She needs to warn Wayne about him. He¡¯s got to be careful-he needs to be careful.


    ¡°Hey ma¡¯am¡­. I brought you some coffee!¡± Gwen says excitedly as she steps into Selene¡¯s office. Selene looked up from herptop with an exaggerated smile.


    ¡°A Gwen¡­ I hope that¡¯s just what you¡¯vee to do¡­ serving me coffee¡± She red yfully at her as she set the tray on the table. Gwen chuckled softly.


    ¡°C¡¯mon ma¡¯am you know I¡¯m dying to hear about how your date with your prince charming went¡± She winked at her and Selene palmed her cheeks.


    ¡°Oh boy!¡­ you¡¯re real trouble Gwen¡­. my date went well thanks¡­ but could you just let me be¡­ I¡¯m damn busy!¡± She takes the mug of coffee and sipped some of it.


    ¡°Huh?¡­ it went well. I know it would¡­. I¡¯m just asking so I would know if you need a packet of¡­ contraceptives¡± Zoey mutters. Selene gasped softly.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    ¡°What the hell Gwen!¡­ have you forgotten I¡¯m your boss!¡­ I could fire your ass right now you know!¡± She feigned anger as she struggled not tough.


    ¡°Oh!¡­ my bad¡­ I tend to forget things a lot, I¡¯m just trying to help¡± She grinned mischievously and Selene rolled her eyes.


    ¡°For fuck sake Gwen just get the fuck out already¡± She chuckled lowly and Gwen shrugs.


    ¡°Alright ma¡¯am but you can give me a shout if you still need it¡± She smirked before walking out of the office.


    ¡°Jeez!¡­ such a snoop!¡± Selene chortles and sets the mug down. She return her gaze to herptop and sighed softly.


    She had intensified her search for thest guy. She hated that it was taking too long and that only made her blood boil. The door pushed open and Wayne stepped in.


    ¡°Hey¡­. you good?¡­ Gwen was pestering you right?¡± He asked as he shuts the door. Selene chuckled.


    ¡°Hell¡­ she¡¯s such a bber beak.¡± Selene gets off the swivel and walks up to him.


    ¡°A client wants to see you¡­¡± Wayne says as he pulls her close and nted a kiss on her temple.


    ¡°Arrgh¡­ really, but I don¡¯t feel like seeing anyone right now¡­ ¡± Selene groused as she withdraws. ¡°I just wish I could be in your arms right now¡± She lean her head on his chest and smiled at the familiar scent of his cologne.


    ¡°You once told me you want Diamond corps to be at the top remember¡­ and you won¡¯t achieve that by flirting with me¡± Wayne cocked his brows and she swat his arm yfully.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to be harsh green orbs¡± She rolled her eyes as he unwrapped his arms from her waist.


    ¡°So¡­ should I let him in?¡­. it¡¯s fine if you wanna reschedule¡± He asks and she shook her head.


    ¡°Let him in¡­ I¡¯m not busy anyways.¡± She says and he nods before walking out of the office. Selene returned back to her seat and returned her gaze to herptop. The door swings open minutester and Wayne stepped in with the client. Selene stared at the man who¡¯de in and her heart thumped rapidly. She nced at Wayne, her face going pale immediately.


    Wayne furrows his brows¡­. wondering why she looked so shocked¡­

 CHAPTER 40

    Wayne furrows his brows at Selene, wondering why she was staring at the client that way.


    ¡°Selene?¡± He calls and her gaze dashed to him, eyes zing angrily. He jabbed his thumb at the guy who was staring lustfully at her, fuckin asswipe!


    ¡°Your client¡­¡± He added and watch Selene get off the chair. She looked very angry and he wondered why.


    ¡°Oh right Wayne¡­ you can take your leave now¡± Her voice was clipped-emotionless and for a moment he wanted to ask if she was okay. On a second thought, he nodded, gave her a smile and stalked out of the office.


    ¡°Hi¡­ fair skinned goddess¡± The guy enunciates grinning as he walked towards her. Selene fists her palm and goes around the table so she was in front of him. She stared right at him and in one swift move, mmed her fist against his abs.


    ¡°Arrgh!¡± He groaned, doubling over and clutching at his stomach.


    ¡°What the freaking hell!¡± He spat out, surprised at her action.


    ¡°How dare you huh!¡­ How dare you keep me waiting for this long!¡± She grits out lowly-icily. He straightens up and arched his brows in confusion.


    W-hat do y-ou mean!¡± He heaved watching her eyes re up in anger. She grabbed his cor and scowled at him. She wanted to strangle him right away!¡­ oh the things she wanted to do this motherfucker!. She willed herself to remainposed and ever so slightly, gave him a tight lipped smile.


    ¡°My apologies hot head¡­. but I¡¯ve waited so long for someone as cute as you¡­. tell me you are also cute down there¡± She breathed in as his confused face dissolved into a smile. A$shole!.


    ¡°Damn¡­ you scared the shit out of me¡± He grinned widely and Selene releases his hold on him. Straightening out his shirt, he ran his tongue across his lower lip and his eyes dtes lustfully.


    ¡°Oh yeah Selene¡­ I¡¯m damn cute down here¡± He gave an exaggerated chuckle and Selene turned from him that instant.


    The same way he hadughed at her while they had raped her, the same way heughed while he had punched her continuously. Tears spilled down her cheeks before she could stop them and she wiped furiously at it. He can¡¯t see how weak and fragile she is anymore.


    ¡°So¡­ are you here for business?¡± She lowered her butt on the swivel and watched him as he took a seat across her.


    ¡°¡­ or, for pleasure?¡± She added, hating the smirk that appeared on his face.


    ¡°You really aren¡¯t just a vixen¡­ but sexy too, I love that¡± His hand went down to his cks, trying to conceal his stiffy. Was there any sane guy who wouldn¡¯t be having an er?ction while so close to her?.


    ¡°I guess I am sexy¡­ but about being a vixen¡­ I¡¯d reveal that side of me¡­. sooner¡± She grinned at him and he gulped nothing.


    ¡°I¡¯m trying not to lose my sanity Selene¡­ how do I prove how much I want you¡­ from the moment you be so popr I¡¯ve always imagined you squirming underneath me and-¡±


    ¡°Shush hot head¡­ ¡± Selene cuts him off, anger almost making her insane.


    ¡°I don¡¯t engage in chit chats¡± She says and got off the chair once more but this time ambling to the cab..


    ¡°Here¡¯s the deal¡­. I want to make you groan under me instead.¡± She poured herself a shot and chugged it down her throat.


    ¡°How about we meet up tonight huh?¡­ no one else is gonna know about our spicy meeting¡­ just you and I having fun all night¡­. can you do that?¡± He nods almost immediately, crossing his legs and cussing at the increased size of his c?ck.


    ¡°Y-eah¡­ yeah Selene¡­.¡±


    ¡°Fine¡­. I¡¯d text you the venue¡­. now get the fuck out of my office and go get ready¡­ cos today¡¯s gonna be the best day¡­ of your life¡± She sits the ss on the counter and walks back to her seat. He nods and stands up from the swivel.


    ¡°Sure Selene¡­ I¡¯d hate to keep you waiting¡± He licks his lips once more and stalked to the door. The shortest meeting he had ever gone to¡­ and the most exciting.


    Wayne moved away from the door, shock crossing his features. Maybe he shouldn¡¯t have eavesdropped on their conversation but seeing Selene that way minutes earlier had made him concerned. He walked dazedly to his seat as the man steps out, grinning sheepishly.


    ¡°Yo man¡­ meeting was great with your secretary¡­ thanks for giving me the chance.¡± Wayne smiles fauxly as he walks into the elevator. He pulls out his phone and swiped at it, going back to the email Stacey had sent him. He studied the pictures of Selene once more, studied her closely, and the picture of her bloody hands. He leans back into his seat and massages his temple.


    Why does he feel like this meeting wasn¡¯t gonna be a good one. His mind wandered and he couldn¡¯t help feeling worried about selene-about the meeting. The picture kept popping up and he couldn¡¯t shake off the bad feeling no matter how hard he tried. What was she up to. Stacey¡¯s usations of Selene kept ringing in his mind and he tries not to lose it.


    Wayne sighs inaudibly, getting off the chair and heading to an adjoining door leading into a Gwen¡¯s kitchen. He just needs a cup of coffee, to calm his nerves..


    Zachary campbell leans back into the lounger. d in only boxer briefs and putting on sunshades as he watched couples y in the beach water. He doesn¡¯t know why Stacey wants to meet up with him here but it sounded important. He sighed and took a sip of the cocktail. It¡¯s been months but he hasn¡¯t been able to get his mind off Selene. He regretted why he had allowed Wayne to work for her. He¡¯s sure that Selene was attracted to Wayne and only used him to get to Wayne.


    How could he have been so foolish!. She had abandoned him that night in the restaurant to sit with Wayne. Why hadn¡¯t he been able to read between the lines. Now what he felt was anger towards her. He¡¯s gonna prove to her that no one messes with him and goes free. Selene has to pay with her body¡­


    ¡°Hey Dude¡± Zach jolts out of his thoughts at the sound of Stacey¡¯s voice. He sighed and raked his hand at his hair.


    ¡°Stacey¡­ I¡¯ve been waiting for a while now¡± He takes a look at her figure d in a bikini and wearing arge hat. Stacey has always been sexy even if she¡¯s forty five.


    ¡°I was stuck in traffic¡­ you know how it is here don¡¯t you¡± She blew out a breath andy on the lounger next to his.


    ¡°So¡­ why did you have to call me here¡­ you could have easily met at my office¡± He sits up and she chuckles heartily.


    ¡°I just wanted a break from the stress have been intotely¡­ you need one too Zachary, so rx¡± She takes his ss of vodka and sips from it.


    ¡°I found something interesting today¡­¡± Stacey starts as she sits up too.


    ¡°I bought one of those gossip magazines and you wouldn¡¯t believe what I found¡± She says excitedly..


    ¡°Please tell me it¡¯s about Selene¡­ I¡¯m getting impatient!¡± Zach blurts out.


    ¡°Oh yeah Zach¡­ it¡¯s about that bitch!¡± She scowled and sets the wine ss on the fancy table.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    ¡°She asked for lots of guys pictures¡­ and these past few days tons of pictures from thousands of guys were sent to her. She ims she¡¯d choose who to go on a date with depending on how cute he is¡­ fucking whore!¡± She spat out, her hate for Selene making her boil in anger.


    ¡°And what has that got to do with you Stacey¡­ is that an evidence?¡± He groaned and fell back to the chair.


    ¡°Oh c¡¯mon zachary!¡­ I¡¯m not that dumb!¡± She snaps. ¡°I¡¯ve decided to resume stalking her. I¡¯m sure she¡¯s gonna meet up with someone soon and I tell you Zach¡­ she¡¯s up to something evil. I can feel it. Or how else would she need other guys when she¡¯s already attracted to wayne?.¡± She expounds and Zach raises a brow.


    ¡°Woah Stacey that¡¯s so smart of you¡­ I never figured that out!¡± A smile tugged at his lips. The first in many weeks. She chuckled and pushed off her hat. Her red hair falling to her shoulders.


    ¡°Yeah Zachary and I¡¯m gonna start stalking her from today onwards¡­. that¡¯s why I wanted toe over here¡­ to rx cos sincerely¡­ I can feel my ns is finally gonna work out.¡± She rxed into her seat, grinning widely- and happily¡­

 CHAPTER 41

    Fiona paced to and fro the kitchen impatiently. Worried about the note Bill sent, anxiously waiting for Wayne to return home for the day.


    She tried his numbers several times and he hadn¡¯t answered. Miguel had left iming he ad some stuffs to do and Susan hadn¡¯t returned home from the store.


    ¡°Oh God!¡­ why the hell do I feel so nervous!, nothing is gonna happen to wayne I¡¯m sure of it.¡± She reassures herself and move to the refrigerator. She retrieves a can of drink and sits on one of the counter stools. She ces her elbows on the counter and cup her cheeks, staring into space.


    ¡°Fiona¡­ are you alright?¡± Susan asks as she stands at the doorway. Fiona whips her head to the door and and blinks.


    ¡°Oh mom!¡­ I didn¡¯t know you were home already¡± She slide down the stool and helps her with the groceries.


    ¡°Yeah I just arrived, seems you were too busy to notice¡± Susan asks as she furrows her brows at her. Fiona sighs lowly, cing the bags on the counter.


    ¡°It¡¯s 5pm already¡­ Wayne should be back from work shouldn¡¯t he?¡± Fiona voice was tinged with concern.


    ¡°You know how your brother is¡­ he might decided to workte tonight and he still has to take his girl home you know¡± Susan says and theyugh.


    ¡°Oh c¡¯mon mom don¡¯t push your luck too far. Selene might be attracted to wayne but you know how strong headed your son is¡­ sometimes I wonder if he wishes to be a Reverend in the chapel¡± Fiona rolls her eyes, and Susanughs.


    ¡°I know Wayne Fiona¡­ and I have this feeling he¡¯s attracted to thatdy¡­. but I just hope he won¡¯t get his heart broken¡­ this is the first time he¡¯s getting serious with a girl you know¡± Susan voice out with a sigh.


    ¡°I hope so too mother¡­ they seem the perfect couple and Selene is kind at heart. I hope we could get the chance to thank her properly¡± Fiona shrugs. She doesn¡¯t have to be worried, Wayne would get home and she¡¯d show him the note Bill had given her..


    ¡°Alright¡­ unpack these so we could cook something for dinner¡­ You don¡¯t want your brother starving.¡±


    ¡°Alright mom¡± She run her fingers through her hair and began to unpack the groceries.


    Selene slides into the passenger seat and Wayne shuts the door. He goes round the car and slipped in next to her.


    ¡°Seatbelts Selene¡± Wayne says as he ignites the engine. They were closed from work and he¡¯s dropping her home as usual. Selene straps in her belt and rxes into the seat as he drives away.


    ¡°You good?¡± He nced at her quiet self and she nods.


    ¡°Yeah Wayne¡­ I¡¯m just tired¡± She says listlessly. Inside her she felt pure anger. She had texted the two guys and asked them to meet up with her in one of her apartment downtown. She¡¯s gonna finish this up once and all. She was angry at thest guy who had put her into so much stress trying to find him. She stealed a nce at Wayne as he drove and she sighs internally. Maybe she doesn¡¯t deserve someone like Wayne, but he had seeded in taking over her sanity.


    Yet she couldn¡¯t get those pictures off her mind. She felt exposed and wondered if he had truly been stalking her. She wondered why the person who sent the pictures hadn¡¯t replied her message. Selene sighs and hung her head low, all these would end tonight.. She would finish them and face her life squarely.


    Wayne gripped to the steering as he drove her home. The silence was awkward and he couldn¡¯t help feeling convinced that Selene was truly hiding something. He had this gut feeling that the date with her client wasn¡¯t an ordinary one. First she looks withdrawn and then she hadn¡¯t informed him of the business date. He sighs and halts the car at a red light. He spares her a look and her face was pressed to the window. He raked his hand at his hair and groaned internally. The light turned green and he continues driving.


    Wayne nced at the side mirror as he drove and he dtes his eyes. A car was behind them and it looks like Stacey¡¯s. He wasn¡¯t so sure cos he couldn¡¯t see the upant of the car clearly. He shrugged it off and resumed driving.


    *


    Selene sighed out in relief as Wayne drives into the mansion. She had been quiet throughout the ride and Wayne had tried all he could to cheer her up.


    ¡°Here we are¡­¡± Wayne breathes out without turning off the engine. He turned to her and raised his hand to cup her cheeks.


    ¡°I already told you severally that you could talk to me if you need help. I¡¯m dly gonna help. I can¡¯t force the words out of your mouth or I¡¯d have done that immediately¡± He rolls his eyes and sheughed softly. She held his hand and pressed a kiss on it.


    ¡°Rx¡­ soon you won¡¯t have to be bothered about me anymore. I¡¯m gonna be happy all the time okay¡­ Goodnight Wayne¡­¡± She leaned in and kissed him lightly before stepping out. Wayne watched her shut the door and hastily walked into the mansion.


    He drove out and stopped few meters away from the mansion. No!¡­ he¡¯s got to find out what this date is about. He needs to know why Selene looks withdrawn since the meeting with the client. He needs to know if Selene is gonna be okay¡­ Wayne kills the engine and rakes his hand at his hair. He¡¯d trail her¡­ to wherever she¡¯s going .


    Selene smiled at her reflection in the mirror as she smeared gloss on her lips. One of her victim had arrived and was patiently waiting in the room. She had gotten to the apartment minutes earlier to find one of the guys waiting. She¡¯d finish him off before the next onees.


    There was one thing about having to dress up into a nice lingerie and making up before killing her rapists. She loves looking beautiful as she killed them.


    So they would know she wasn¡¯t the Selene they had raped and left to rot in a dumpsite. She took one final look at herself in the mirror and giggled. Beneath her lingerie she had a gun strapped to her thighs if ever he acts funny. She sucked in her breath before walking out of the bathroom. The first guy she had found sat on the bed and was d in only his boxer briefs. Thest hadn¡¯t arrived yet because she had texted a different time for him, enough time to get rid of this asshole.


    ¡°Damn Selene¡­¡± He groans immediately. His skin was tanned and he had tattoos all over his arms.


    ¡°Look¡­ I d-don¡¯t know why you ch-ose me over the rest guys¡­ but I bet you selene!¡­ you aren¡¯t ever gonna forget this night!¡± He grins as Selene walked to him. He took in her curvy shape. Her smooth bare things and hips, the delicate swell of her breasts and her jet-ck hair framing her face¡­ Yeah, she¡¯s a goddess.


    ¡°A¡­. that¡¯s so true cupcake¡­ I¡¯m never gonna forget this night.¡± She scowled at him and trailed her palm down his bare chest.


    ¡°How about you let me ride you. I¡¯m gonna tie you all up in a chair and ride you all the way to hell¡­ you like that?¡± She smirked and he breath in as Selene hand rests on his bulge.


    ¡°Y-eah!¡­ yeah Selene¡­ I want that!¡± He grabbed her waist but she smacked his hand off.


    ¡°I haven¡¯t told you before¡­. I love being in charge. Now strip and go sit your ass down on the chair.¡± She snapped but he was too confused to notice her anger. He did as she said and Selene opens a drawer beside the bed and brings out a thin strip of rope. She walked to him, chuckling at how hard he was as he sat.


    ¡°Your arms around the chair mister¡± She tells him and begins to tie him up. She tied him up tightly and smiled in satisfaction when she was done.


    ¡°So cupcake¡­. what do you want me to do to you¡± She stands in front of him and he smiles.


    ¡°You said it already Selene¡­. I want to have a taste of you¡­. I want to watch you c?m all over me¡­ ¡± Selene lips twitches angrily. She fisted her palm and punched him hard across the face. His head whipped to the side from the impact and he could swear he was numb for some seconds.


    When he regained hisposure, he was seeing a different Selene. All traces of smile was gone from her face and reced with anger and hate- deep hate.Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Fuck!¡± He groaned and spat out blood.


    ¡°You asshole!¡± She spat out and mmed her fist hard on his nose.


    ¡°How do you like that huh?¡­ you motherfucker!¡± She growled.


    ¡°What the fuck is wrong with you!¡± He groans as blood drips down his nose. He fought against the rope but it was fruitless. Selene chuckles bitterly.


    ¡°You have the guts to ask that!. Shouldn¡¯t I be the one asking you that. What the fuck are you doing here Mister, trying to f*ck the girl you raped months ago!¡± She snapped feeling her entire nerves taut from anger.


    ¡°Huh!¡­ what are you saying Selene have you suddenly gone crazy!¡± He spat out and Selene eyes dtes in anger.


    ¡°I¡¯d take you down memoryne asshole!. Months ago you and some bunch of idiots ganged up on a girl. She was alone you know¡­ no friends and family. Just she trying to get herself together. And boom the moment you saw her in a club you wanted her. And when you couldn¡¯t get her you did it the wrong way!¡­ you and Nine. Other. Bastards f*cked her brutally!¡­ you beat her up till she was ck and blue and then you shot her, dumped her hopeless ass in a freaking dumpsite to die.. ¡± Selene fisted her palm again and tears slipped down her cheeks.


    ¡°Does that help you remember! huh!¡± She yells out as her voice shook. Silence meets her outburst and he looks shocked. If she was the one then he couldn¡¯t recognize her. He was drunk that night, driven by lust. He had been the one who had personally hit her with a rod and it appeared other guys wanted her too. Soon they were ten in number and they had taken advantage of her.


    Now he knew there wasn¡¯t any escaping. He¡¯s met his death today. His nose was broken and blood flowed freely. Maybe he could beg for mercy but before he could she leans down and stares right at him. He stared right back and she smiled.


    ¡°I wanted to make this more interesting¡­ but I¡¯ve got another person to deal with.. so I¡¯m gonna make this quick. She broke eye contact with him stepped back. He widened his eyes at the gun in her hands.


    ¡°Se-lene!¡­ y-ou don¡¯t have to!¡­ look I¡¯m gonna pay you whatever amount you wish for!¡­. please don¡¯t do this! He stumbled on his words and Selene chuckles.


    ¡°The fuck mister.. all I want now is for you to take a trip to hell!¡± She aimed at his torso and squeezed the trigger. His loud scream pierced the night as the bullet pierced him, the same time the door bursts open. Selene startled, spins around and it felt as though the world stopped as she finds a shocked Wayne standing few steps away from her.


    ¡°W-hat!¡­ are you doing here¡­ Wayne!¡­¡±

 CHAPTER 42

    Wayne stood at the doorway shell-shocked and aghast. He took everything in an heartbeat. A different Selene and a dead man. His grip on the door handle was hard, making his knuckles go white. He stared at her d in a small lingerie, wondering how someone as beautiful as her could be able to do such.


    ¡°Wayne!¡± Selene¡¯s heart twisted in pain a hundred times over at his shocked state. She gripped to the gun as she watch him feast his eyes on the dead man.


    ¡°Fir-st!.. I¨CI¨Cdon¡¯t want you jumping into conclusions Wa-yne!¡± Selene blurts out immediately.


    ¡°What¡¯s this!¡± He mutters, his voice detached as he walks dazedly into the room. A tear slid down her cheeks and she walks shakily to him.


    ¡°Look wayne¡­ he¡¯s a bad guy, he ruined my life months back!¡± She choked on her words. Why does it have to be now!. Why did he have to show up just when she wanted to end this all!.


    ¡°I n-ever wanted for this to happen!¡­ trust me I didn¡¯t!¡± Selene stood inches away from him and they locked gazes, he saw the pain in her eyes and he could feel his heart shatter into tiny pieces.


    ¡°You were raped¡­ I heard all you said minutes ago, and it¡¯s so heartbreaking Selene to know you passed through such treatment¡­ but did it have toe¡­ to this huh?, did you have to hurt yourself this much by revenging, you had the chance to move on and live a better life!¡­¡± He watched tears slid down her cheeks and she sniffled, wiping at them with the back of her palm.


    ¡°I¨CI tried to move on Wayne¡­ but I couldn¡¯t!. I never f-ound that inner peace though I had all the money in the world!, and I vowed to make their lives miserable. I was doing just that!¡­ until you came into my life wayne!¡± She paused to catch her breath before she continued. ¡°I realized I was falling hard for you and I wanted all this to end! I decided to kill them once and all¡­.¡± She falters, sobbing quietly.


    ¡°But you never trusted me enough to tell me about everything huh¡­ you were behind those mysterious deaths¡­ how the heck were they not able to trace you!¡± He whispers. Selene rakes her hand through her hair and bite down her lips. She has to confess everything to him, no more secrets..


    ¡°Selene?¡­¡±


    ¡°Fine!¡­ I¡¯d tell you the truth Wayne!¡­ but I-I just hope it doesn¡¯t change anything!.¡± She fists her palm and sucked in her breath.


    ¡°Mrs Grace found me almost dead at the dumpsite and took me home. And she healed me¡­. with her powers¡­¡± She stopped and tried to read his expression but it was pointless.


    ¡°My healing brought about Mrs Grace¡¯s death¡­. and before she died, she told me to forgive!¡­ She wanted me to live so she gave me her powers Wayne¡­ her enchanting powers!¡± Selene shut her eyes briefly and blew out her breath. Wayne rakes his hand at his hair and took a step back as if he was hit by something.


    ¡°Are you tryna tell me you¡¯re an Enchantress??¡­ and you¡¯ve got powers!¡± He raised his voice in disbelief but Selene only sobbed.


    ¡°So, Stacey was right afterall¡­¡± He mutters. Thier gaze shed and Selene bats hershes.


    ¡°Stacey?¡­. who¡¯s she?¡±


    ¡°A friend..¡± He says and she knots her brows.


    ¡°A friend?¡­ you guys are that close?, close enough that she knows I have powers?¡± Selene voice out, hurt visible In her voice.


    ¡°What the fuck are you talking about!¡± Wayne grits out. Selene flinched at the anger in his voice and she shook her head.


    ¡°I guess it was she who sent me those pictures¡­ you¡¯ve been stalking me Wayne haven¡¯t you¡­ so why the pretense!.. why are you trying to act like you don¡¯t know anything about this!¡± Wayne furrows his brows in confusion.


    ¡°Selene¡­ I never stalked you! until now, and that was because I wanted to find out the truth!.¡±


    ¡°Then who stalked me thest time I went to get rid of one of my rapists!.. who did!?¡± She argued.


    ¡°Stacey has been the one stalking you selene!¡­ you were blinded with revenge that you never knew your own life was at risk!.¡± Selene lips twitches in anger and a deep scowl settled on her face.


    ¡°She took those pictures¡­ and you knew about it too, what does she wants to do with it, announce to everyone I¡¯ve got powers?¡± She scoffed bitterly. ¡°She dares not Wayne¡­ cos I¡¯m gonna find her and kill her!¡± She added and whipped her head to the door at the sound of a car engine.


    ¡°That¡¯s myst rapist..¡± Selene says and cocked the gun. She wiped her bloody palm against her lingerie.


    ¡°What!¡­ you still wanna end his life¡­¡± Selene gave him a small smile and nods.


    ¡°Yeah Wayne¡­ you know about it already, he raped me¡­ and I¡¯m never letting him go free.¡± She walked past him but he held her back by the arm.


    ¡°Selene!¡± He calls as he gripped her shoulders, forcing her to stare up at him. Wayne watched her amber coloured eyes fill up with tears and he sighs.


    ¡°¡­ Do you love me?¡± The question left her stunned for a second and she part her lips open. Her heart raced tremendously as she inhaled the scent of his cologne.


    ¡°Yes Wayne!¡­. I do¡± She breathe out and his eyes goes dark passionately. He cupped her neck and pressed his lips on her cold ones, heating up her cheeks, making her heart almost explode as it raced. He kissed off the tears and withdrew.


    ¡°Then if you do!¡­ stop all these Selene, I¡¯m here for you. I¡¯m gonna make you forget your pains, you don¡¯t have to do this okay!¡± He pleads. The doorbell rings and Selene shakes her head slowly as she shrugged out of his hold.


    ¡°It¡¯s toote Wayne, I¡¯m sorry¡­.¡± She whispers and stride out of the room hastily. Wayne rakes his hand at his hair, took one nce at the dead man before going after her.


    Selene gets into the living room and strides to the door, hiding the gun at her back. She opens the door knob and thest of her rapists is before her, a wide grin on his face as his gaze stops on her b?obs. The night air hits her bare skin and the porch lights shone on him.


    ¡°Woah!.. Selene I didn¡¯t know you were already waiting impatiently f-¡± Selene scowls and butts the gun hard on his face before he couldplete his statement.


    ¡°You asswipe!¡­ how dare you waste so much time huh!¡± She yell as he staggered backwards on the porch, clutching his bleeding nose and groaning loudly.


    ¡°Selene!¡± Wayne appears behind her and gripped at her arm. She sucked in her breath and spinned on her heels, facing Wayne squarely.


    ¡°Stay out of this Wayne!¡­ this is what I wanted!. It ain¡¯t a big deal anymore cos you know about it okay!¡± She blurt out, snatching her hand away from his hold. Her heart hurt deeply because she shouldn¡¯t be yelling at him¡­ but damnit if she¡¯s gonna allow him go free.


    ¡°What the fuck are you doing bitch!¡± The guy growled as he wiped off blood from his nose.


    ¡°What does it look like I¡¯m doing huh!¡± Selene says icily as he starts retracing his step to his car.


    ¡°You asshole!, did you think you could go unpunished after what you¡¯d done to me!¡± He leaned against his car and stares at her in confusion. He nced at Wayne standing behind her before returning his gaze back to her. What the fuck does she mean!.


    ¡°Oh!¡­ you never thought I¡¯d survive did you!¡­ well after you raped me months ago, leaving me to rot in a fuckin dumpsite¡­ I got saved motherfucker!¡­ luck was on my side and I vowed to kill every one of you who¡¯d hurt me¡± She chuckled bitterly as wayne watched her. It was pointless stopping her, she was blinded already by rage and he couldn¡¯t believe the selene he knew was this bitter.


    ¡°I killed everyone of them and you¡¯re just the only one left¡­. and I don¡¯t n on letting you go!¡± He widened his eyes in fear before shoving his hand into his back pocket and pulling out a pistol.


    ¡°One more move Selene!¡± He snarls and cocked the gun. Selene froze to her spot and Wayne stepped forward.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you dare hurt her!¡± He voice out through clenched teeth. Maybe she was right afterall.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    The asshole doesn¡¯t deserve to live.


    ¡°I knew you¡¯ve got something up your sleeves Fair. Skinned. Goddess!¡± He says sarcastically. Selene shifts shifts on her foot, wrapping her fingers around the trigger.


    ¡°Well I didn¡¯t regret doing what I did bitch¡­. I enjoyed having to pound into you!¡± Heughs and pulls out his ignition key. Tears flood her eyes which she blinks away.


    ¡°I¡¯m gonna escape once again¡­ and this time you won¡¯t find me¡± He smirks and stares at her. But it was all she needed. The smirk disappears as she locks gaze with him and ever so slowly she began to chant. His breathes hitches and the gun falls out of his hand. Selene closes the space between them and looks him dead in the eye. She was twice as angry as she was before and his eyes goes bloodshot as she continues chanting.


    Wayne watched Selene, different emotions swimming out of his head. He couldn¡¯t understand what she said because she was muttering it quickly and in a subdued tone. He watched as the man struggled for breath, trying to break the gaze. He knew he¡¯d never see Selene as a weak, fragile girl anymore. She was much stronger than anyone her age.. She had powers and she wasn¡¯t any random girl. All he wanted to do now was pull her close and tell her everything¡¯s gonna be okay.


    Minutester she stops chanting and the guy falls to the floor, dead. Selene breathes out and drops the gun his body. She turns to stare at Wayne and wipes off her tears. Wayne stares at the dead guy, lips parted open and eyes shut close before fixing his gaze on Selene.


    ¡°I¡¯m so sorry Selene!¡­ that you had to go through this!¡± He whispers and engulfs her into a hug. Selene shut her eyes and sobbed quietly against his chest.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry too Wayne¡­ for dragging you into this mess¡± She sniffs. It was all over, she didn¡¯t have to worry about her rapists anymore. She¡¯d move on and use her powers for good. While she poured out her pent up emotions in form of tears, Wayne held her close, cooing her kissing her reassuringly on the forehead.


    From behind the dead man¡¯s car, Stacey emerges, camera in hand as she scowls at the two hugging each other tenderly. Wayne was the first to see her. He withdraws and stares at her in shock.


    ¡°Stacey!?¡­. what the fuck are doing here!¡± Wayne blurts out. Selene whips her head to Stacey and she bats hershes.


    Stacey?, the same Stacey who had trailed after her and who had sent those pictures?. Who ever knew it was someone old enough to be her aunt.


    Stacey chuckles as she held the camera in her hand. She was smart to have trailed after Wayne. She knew he would lead her to Selene. She tried trailing after them from work but she lost them at a red light.


    She drove to Selene¡¯s mansion just in time to see Wayne driving away and taking a different route. it was suspicious so she had driven after him.


    Luck was on her side and he had led her to this ce. She had her car parked on the main road and waited if she could find any evidence. She didn¡¯t wait too long cos soon a car pulled up at the apartment which Wayne had gone into and she had rushed to hide behind it. She didn¡¯t have to wait too long cos soon Selene was out and she had recorded all what she had done to the man. She retuned her gaze back to wayne and smirked.


    ¡°What does it look like I¡¯m doing Wayne, finding evidence to prove to the whole world that this bitch here is a monster!¡± She spat out.


    ¡°How dare you call me a monster!¡­ who the fuck are you old hag!¡± Selene yells immediately.


    ¡°Stacey!¡­ I warned you didn¡¯t I?. I warned you to stop poking your nose in someone else¡¯s business!¡± Wayne growled and she flinched.


    ¡°Toote Wayne¡­ I already got what I need!¡± She waved the camera in front of them.


    ¡°What¡¯s that!¡± Selene asks icily.


    ¡°Just a video of the wicked spell you used on this dead guy here¡­. and oh!¡­ I¡¯ve still got a whole bunch of evidence against you¡­ you are a freaking witch bitch and I¡¯m sure you used your powers on my dear Wayne!¡± Wayne rakes his hand at his hair in frustration.


    ¡°For crying out loud Stacey!¡­. how many times do I have to spell it out to you!.. we can never be together!. For fuck sake Stacey you aren¡¯t growing any younger!, stop this your crazy obsession and get yourself a life!¡± Stacey bites down hard at her lips.


    ¡°Oh really?¡­ yeah I¡¯m obsessed wayne, about you. I vowed that if I don¡¯t get you¡­ then no one will!. When this gets to everyone in florida and she is behind bars you¡¯d have no choice than to run back to me!¡± Selene cussed under her breath and in the blink of an eye, rushes towards her and shoved her hard against the floor.

 CHAPTER 43

    ¡°How dare you!¡± She yelled, clutching at her hair as she tried to snatch the camera away. she whipped her hard across the face and Stacey cries out in pain..


    ¡°Let go off me witch!¡± She yell, clutching the camera tight. Wayne drags Selene away from her and yanks Stacey up roughly.


    ¡°Let go of me Wayne!¡± She yells and fought against him. Selene rushed back to the dead guy and snatched up a gun. Stacey cusses and kicked him hard where the light doesn¡¯t shine. Wayne groans, doubling over and releasing his hold on her. She turns and sprinted for the main road where she had parked her car.


    ¡°You bitch!¡± Selene cussed sprinting after her and tightening her hold on the revolver. Stacey stops at the main road and crosses the other side to her car.


    ¡°Stacey!¡­ it doesn¡¯t have toe to this okay!¡± Selene yells as she stops in the middle of the road and cocks the gun at her. Its dark already and the street lights illuminates the road. It¡¯s a busy road but no cars are visible since it¡¯ste at night. Stacey halts and turns around slowly.N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    ¡°What are you gonna do, kill me!?¡±


    Selene clenched her teeth and scowled. ¡°I would!¡­ if you don¡¯t let go of that camera. I¡¯vee too far to let another person ruin my ns!.¡± She fumes.


    ¡°You dare not Selene.. Zach would tell the cops you killed me and you¡¯d still rot in jail¡­. so it¡¯s pointless trying to kill me¡± She smirked at her and turned taking out her ignition key.


    ¡°Screw you!¡± selene cussed, wrapped her fingers around the trigger and fired two straight shots. Stacey gasped as the bullets pierced her ribs. Her knees gave away and she copsed to the floor, the camera falling out of her hand.


    The blinding lights from a car on full speed shones on them, honking it¡¯s horn loudly. Selene gasped, whipping her head to stare at the car as it drove wildly towards her.


    The color drains out of her face and she feels her life sh before her own very eyes. She couldn¡¯t move an inch and just as it was about to sweep her off the road and send her to hell, she was shoved roughly out of the road and she crashed on the sidewalks as Wayne took the hit, a fatal one, that shattered the windscreen of the car, swept him off the road and sent him meters away from her, The car stops screeched to a halt from the hit but secondster ignites the engine and drives away.


    ¡°Wayne!¡± She yells, scrambling off her feet and rushing to him. She sank down her knees and stared at Wayne¡¯s bloody face. A huge was gash on his forehead and blood oozed out.


    ¡°Wayne!¡­. No!¡­ c¡¯mon you can¡¯t die just yet!¡± She yells as she cupped his cheeks and stared down at him. He blinks his eyes slowly and her voice shook with emotions. He groans weakly and reached for her hand.


    ¡°Selene¡± He groans out ¡°¡­ whatever happens¡­. I want you to know that i l-ove y-ou, I always did¡± He mutters weakly.


    ¡°No! Wayne please!¡­ it¡¯s all over!¡­ everything is over now!¡± She croaks out as tears rolled down her cheeks. Wayne gave her a weak smile as he feels nkness drawing him in.


    Selene hands is shaky. She shuts her eyes and began to chant. She tried hard to concentrate but words failed her, her lips quivers and she stops as Wayne loosens his grip on her.


    ¡°W-ayne?¡­¡± She palms his bloodied cheeks as her heart mmed against her chest.


    ¡°No!¡­.. Please Wayne stay with me!¡± She chokes out as his eyes shut close. Selene heart plummeted and she let out a strangled scream that pierced the night¡­

 CHAPTER 44

    Fiona eyes flutters open at the ringing sound of the rm clock.


    ¡°Shit!¡± She groans groggily, palming the rm clock till it went off. She swung her legs out of the bed and trudged to the bathroom tiredly.


    She¡¯s damn worried. Wayne has not arrived sincest night and she¡¯s worried sick. Mom hadn¡¯t been able to go to bed till veryte at night cos he hasn¡¯t been picking any of his calls nor replying his texts.


    She was so worried she had tried dailing Selene¡¯s home line but it was a maid who had answered, informing her she isn¡¯t back at home too. Fiona sighs and wash up her face, packing her hair up and striding out of the bathroom.


    Maybe she¡¯s got to tell mom about the note. She couldn¡¯t shake off the bad feeling that something had gone wrong. That on her mind, she proceeded into the living room to find Susan on a call, her back facing her.


    ¡°Yeah!¡­ t-thats me!¡­ Alright!¡­ I¡¯de right away!¡± Susan voice was shaky as she replied whoever was on the phone before mming the receiver on the cradle.


    ¡°Oh my God!¡­. this can¡¯t be true!¡± She croak out.


    ¡°Mom?¡­ what¡¯s the problem?¡­ Are you okay?¡± Fiona knots her brows at her. She turns and her eyes are filled up with tears.


    ¡°Fiona!¡­ it¡¯s your brother!, he¡¯s at the hospital¡­ he got into an ident!¡± Susan clutched at the pendant on her neck as Fiona gasps.


    ¡°What!¡­. how did that happen!¡± She blurt out, her face paling immediately. Susan sniffs and shakes her head.


    ¡°They didn¡¯t say that much Fiona!¡­. we need to go right away¡­e on!¡± Susan says and strides past her quickly. Dazed, Fiona hurries after her, feeling sick at the pit of her stomach¡­. Wayne! he¡¯s got to be fine!, no harm shoulde to him!¡­ none!.


    Bill leans against the doorframe as he watched Selene¡¯s unconscious figure on the hospital bed, an IV fluid bag connected to her wrists and the EKG machine beeping steadily.


    She still looked beautiful as always, like a sleeping Angel. He sighed and rubbed his chin as a doctor appears.


    ¡°Doctor¡­ how¡¯s the patient?¡± He inquires, fixing his gaze on the doctor d in white.


    ¡°She¡¯s still unconscious due to the shock. Save for some bruises on her arms and butt, she¡¯s gonna be alright¡­ ¡± He replies.N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    ¡°And¡­ the other one?¡± Bill continues, stuffing his hand into his pockets. The doctor huffs and shakes his head


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid his condition is critical¡­ He is still In the Intensive care unit. It appeared he got the worse hit. He has a head injury and due to the pain¡­. has gone intoa, it¡¯s a good thing you brought them in on time Sir, or he wouldn¡¯t have made it to the hospital¡± He informs. Bill nods.


    ¡°Is there any chances he¡¯d make it alive?¡±


    ¡°Uhhh¡­ for now, we just have to hope he¡¯d push through. Asides having a head injury, he sustained a lot of fractures to the ribs and arms¡­. If you¡¯d excuse me I¡¯d like to check on her¡± He smiles and move into Selene¡¯s ward. Bill stalks back to the bench and lowers himself on it.


    If he¡¯d ever be told he would save Selene and Wayne one day then he¡¯d never believe it. But he had done that anyways, putting aside his anger for Wayne and fulfilling his promise to Mrs Grace that he¡¯d always protect selene.


    He whips his head sideways at the sound of hurried footsteps and it¡¯s Wayne¡¯s sister and what looks like his mom. They¡¯re walking towards him and he gets off the chair as they approach him..


    Fiona wipes her wet cheeks and dtes her eyes at the tall guy in front of her¡­. Bill.


    ¡°What the fuck are you doing here!¡± She yells, staring right at him in anger.


    ¡°What did you do to my brother you asshole!¡± She shoved him hard and Susan holds her back.


    ¡°Fiona!¡­ what is going on!..¡± Susan gasps out in surprise.


    ¡°Mom!¡­ this dimwit here gave me a note!¡­ telling Wayne to watch his back!.. and I¡¯m super sure he did something to him!, I¡¯m sure he¡¯s responsible for this!¡±


    ¡°Could you atleast calm down!¡­ this is an hospital kiddo!¡± Bill says, ring at her. Fiona scoffs.


    ¡°I¡¯m not a kid mister¡­¡± She blurts out, scowling at him.


    ¡°Then stop acting like one¡± He groans.


    ¡°Fiona!¡­ you need to calm down okay!¡­. Wayne¡¯s in the hospital, thest thing you should do right now is getting into a fight!¡± Susan reprimanded.


    Fiona rolls her eyes at him. ¡°I¡¯m sorry mom¡± She mutters lowly.


    ¡°You¡¯re the caller aren¡¯t you¡± Susan asks impatiently and he nods.


    ¡°How¡¯s he!¡­ how¡¯s my son?¡±


    ¡°Wayne is in the ICU¡­. I, the doctor says Wayne might be able to pull through. I managed to rescue them and bring them to the hospital. Selene would recover soon but I¡¯m afraid Wayne is ina¡± Bill starts after giving Fiona a look. Fiona covers her mouth with her palm as her eyes fill up in tears. Susan heart clenches in pain.


    ¡°Them!?¡­ you mean it wasn¡¯t only Wayne who got into an ident?¡± Susan voice out in surprise.


    ¡°Yeah.. Selene was involved too¡­ it took cest night. I was lucky to have found their unconscious bodies on time¡± Bill continues..


    ¡°How were you able to find them mister¡­ if you weren¡¯t behind what happened¡± Fiona says icily. Bill sighs.


    ¡°If I were behind this do you think I would be here!.. huh?. And if you don¡¯t know what I meant in that note you should quit jumping into conclusions!¡± Bill says with a deep scowl. She looks away, running her hands through her. Bill tears his gaze away from her and they stop on Susan¡¯s worried ones.


    ¡°All of Mrs grace cars were installed with tracking devices. Which were connected to aptop¡­ myptop¡± Fiona archs her brows at him.


    ¡°It¡¯s able to give signals whenever the car is been tailed continuously by someone else¡­. and that was how I noticed a particr car has been tailing Selene¡¯s. I was gonna tell her about it¡­ but I was angry cos of how she fired me¡± He paused midway and Fiona gaze softens and Susan sighs.


    ¡°It wasn¡¯t Wayne¡¯s fault Bill¡± Fiona shrugs and he nods.


    ¡°Yeah¡­ I realized that, that was the reason I followed you to your college to warn you about it.¡± Bill says with a huff.


    The doctor walks out of Selene¡¯s ward and they all turn to him.


    ¡°Are this Mr Anderson¡¯s rtives?¡± He queries.


    ¡°Yeah doc pls. I¡¯m his mom¡± Susan voice out hastily.


    ¡°Alright¡­. Come with me to the office, so I could brief you of your son¡¯s status and the bills.¡± Susan nods almost immediately and she follows him out.


    Fiona stares at Bill and manages a small sincere smile.


    ¡°Thanks!¡­ you aren¡¯t a bad man afterall¡± She mutters lowly. Bill chuckles.


    ¡°I promised Mrs Grace to look after Selene, so you don¡¯t have to thank me kiddo¡± Bill replies, smirking at her as she sent him a re.


    ¡°Wayne!¡­ please d-on¡¯t l-eave me!. Stay w-ith me p-lease!¡± Blood dribbled down his face as she muttered those words, cupping his cheeks tenderly.


    ¡°Wayne?¡­ Wayne!¡± She panicked as his eyes shut close. She grabbed his cors and shook her head vehemently, letting out a strangled cry.


    Selene eyes flew open as she gasped for breath, her hair sticking to her sweaty face and breathing ragged. Her vision is blurry and she felt numb.


    Secondster her vision bes clearer and someone is hovering over her, calling her name and palming her cheeks. he¡¯s familiar¡­


    ¡°Selene¡­¡± Bill stares her down worriedly. She was having a nightmare. Thrice since they brought her in a day ago and it¡¯s worrying him a great deal. He held her palm in his as she squinted her eyes.


    ¡°It¡¯s Bill¡­ you¡¯re safe¡­ Wayne safe¡± He mutters reassuringly. Selene blinks slowly, finally adjusting to the bright light. The smell of antiseptic hits her nose and she winces. Hospital.. How did she get here!?


    ¡°Bill!¡± She voice out weakly, looking around her as if lost.


    ¡°W-here¡¯s Wayne!¡± She voice out


    tearily. Bill sighs, watching a tear roll down her cheeks.


    ¡°Wayne¡¯s okay¡­¡± He says softly.


    ¡°He¡¯s not d¨Cdead right!¡­ it was some stupid nightmare huh?.. wayne¡¯s not injured is he?¡± She blinks as her head pounded and he nods.


    ¡°Yeah Selene it¡¯s just a bad dream¡­ Wayne is not dead Selene¡­ He¡¯s gonna be fine¡±


    ¡°Then where is he!¡­ I n-eed to see him!¡± She croak out and tries to sit up, lying back with a groan.


    ¡°Don¡¯t Selene!¡­ you aren¡¯t stable enough¡± Bill says holding her back gently. She suck in her breath and shut her eyes. Everything came rushing back at her like a nightmare. Wayne¡¯s bloodied face, and her screaming self. She had tried to call for help using wayne¡¯s phone but she couldn¡¯t.


    She had crawled back to Stacey¡¯s unconscious self and had retrieved the camera, smashing it continuously until it was finally shattered. She was totally drained and exhausted and all her body hurt from the fall. She tried dailing the first contact she had seen on his phone, which was his sister¡¯s but it was pointless, there was low coverage around that area and after dailing for God knows how long, she too had cked out.


    ¡°Bill!.. How did I get here¡­ what are you doing here huh?¡± She manages to voice out. The least person she had expected


    to see was Bill, the guard she fired.


    ¡°Making sure you¡¯re okay Selene¡­ is there anything wrong with that?¡± He cocked a brow.


    ¡°Who brought us here?¡­¡±


    ¡°I did¡­ I found you two unconscious downtown of Miami and drove you to the hospital, in your car¡± Selene sighs and bite down at her lips. There was a lot of things she wanted to ask, but the pounding in her head increases and she shut her eyes. Wayne is alive, that¡¯s what matters right now.. He didn¡¯t leave her just as she thought and that¡¯s the most important thing to her right now..


    | A weekter|


    Selene stared at Wayne on the hospital bed as she sobbed quietly. Her heart bled a hundred times over and she wished with all her might that she could swap ces with him. She was fine now but Wayne wasn¡¯t.


    He doesn¡¯t deserve to be here, he doesn¡¯t deserve someone like her, but he had chosen to love her despite her ws.


    If only she could turn back the hands of time then she would have been more careful. Wayne wouldn¡¯t be here and everything would have ended but things chose to go wrong when she wanted to finish all this up. How she wished he could find the bastard who had hit Wayne. He hadn¡¯t even been able to help. The motherfucker had left them to their own fate. She never believed Wayne would make it¡­ if Bill hadn¡¯t found them.


    The police had raided the ce the next day, and as usual¡­ they weren¡¯t able to find any evidences against her. Bill had taken her car away from there and hadn¡¯t informed the police so they had obviously found out themselves. Selene gets off the chair and sighs. It wasn¡¯t her intention to shoot Stacey. But she couldn¡¯t bear the thought of going to jail when she had decided to end things. She couldn¡¯t bear the thought of loosing Wayne just when she had found him.


    The door of the ward opens and Susan walks in. Selene bite down at her lips. She had thought Wayne¡¯s mom would be mad at her for putting her son in harm¡¯s way but she had surprised her when she said she wasn¡¯t. Selene couldn¡¯t be anymore happier and it had helped ease the guilt she felt.


    ¡°Evening ma¡¯am Susan¡± She voice out. Susan gives her a small smile and moves to his bed.


    ¡°The doctor says the head injury is healing up fast, same as the fractures he sustained.. we just have to keep hoping he gets out ofa¡± Susan voice out sadly. Selene nods ambling to her as they both watch Wayne.


    ¡°Your son is too good to be true¡­ I pray he makes it.. I have a lot of apologies to say to him¡± Selene sniffles.


    ¡°He would!¡­.. Wayne¡¯s always been a fighter. You just have to believe okay?¡± Selene nods slowly, wiping off her tears.


    She¡¯d make good use of her powers after Wayne is finally okay. She couldn¡¯t use her powers on him because she was scared it would alter his condition. Head injury was a delicate one and she couldn¡¯t do anything that would put him under stress. She returned her gaze to him as his fingers moved ever so slowly.


    Selene gasps, same as Susan and they watch Wayne move slightly on the bed before his eyes flutters open. She sank down to her news and slowly took his palm in hers.


    The first he does as his eyes stops on Selene was to give her a little smile that send her heart racing and happiness shooting right through her. Tears slid down her cheeks.


    ¡°Wayne!¡± She croaks ¡°You¡¯re alive!¡±..

 FINAL CHAPTER

    Melissa walks into Zoey¡¯s room to find her sitting on the bed, her back to her. Melissa grips to the door knob shut her eyes briefly as tears flood her eyes.


    Zoey has been this way since they got news of Stacey¡¯s death. A week ago the cops had visited them with the heart shattering news that their dear friend was killed. Something had died inside of her¡­ to know she wasn¡¯t gonna see Stacey anymore, or listen to her as she argued with Zoey. Stacey who she had lived with since they got out of high school. The tears rolled down her cheeks and she sniffled and shut the door behind her.


    ¡°Zoey¡­ c¡¯mon not now!¡± She whispered sadly as she walks to her and lowers herself next to her. Zoey hung her head low, fisting her palms on herps and sobbing quietly.


    ¡°I can¡¯t believe she¡¯s gone Melissa!, just like that, she left at night and never returned!¡± Zoey sniffles.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to keep hurting yourself Zoey. I know Stacey has be a sister to us but there was nothing we could do!¡± Melissa falters and she tries to fight the urge to sob. They¡¯re dressed in ck. The police had released Stacey¡¯s body and days ago they had conducted a funeral. It was heartbreaking, only few people in attendance.


    Zoey chuckles bitterly. ¡°You know what¡¯s funny!, the fact that she was murdered!, Stacey might have had ws mel!, but she wasn¡¯t involved in illegal business!¡­ How. Could. She. Die. This. Way!¡± The words stumbled out, and she broke downpletely, sobbing loudly and palming her temple continuously.


    ¡°Zoey!¡± Melissa heaved as she put an arm around her and pulled her close. Pain shing her heart. She couldn¡¯t hold back the tears and soon they were both crying. Pain over a sister, pain over a friend. The cops had informed them that from their investigation Stacey was involved in some kind of illegal business, and she could have possibly been the one who had killed the two men they found in an apartment not too far from where she had died. As they sobbed, she wondered if whatever the cops said was true, or if it was all a misunderstanding and there was something more to Stacey¡¯s murder¡­


    ?


    Tears floods Selene¡¯s eyes as Wayne smiles warmly at her.


    ¡°Wayne!¡­ I¡¯m so gd y-ou made it!¡± Selene voice is barely a whisper as her whole body went taut with emotions. Wayne shuts his eyes briefly and when they open they stop on Susan¡¯s.


    ¡°I knew you wouldn¡¯t abandon your poor mom just yet¡± Susan smiles tearily. Even at his state, Selene watch a cocky small smile appear on his face.


    ¡°No mom, I can¡¯t leave you just yet¡­. I still wanna taste¡­. your delicious meals remember¡± Wayne joked weakly. Susan chuckled and wiped off a tear.


    ¡°Really Wayne you never lost your sense of humor¡± Selene voiced out smiling through her tears. Wayne gaze softens as he stared at Selene. The joy he felt right now seeing Selene was okay was overwhelming.N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    ¡°Alright love birds I¡¯d leave you two for a few minutes while I go see the doctor, to tell him you¡¯ve regained consciousness¡± Susan says and Selene chuckles lowly.


    ¡°Alright Ma¡¯am, thanks¡± She voiced out.


    With Susan gone, Selene bites down her lips and looked down at Wayne.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry Wayne!, I know you have all the reasons in the world to hate me now but I promise I¡¯m sorry!¡­ I never meant for you to be dragged into this!, I¡¯d never wish to put you in harm¡¯s way!¡­ please Wayne forgive me!¡± Selene sped his hand as she sobbed lowly.


    ¡°Hey¡­ hey¡± He coos and raised his hand to cup her cheeks.


    ¡°Stop apologizing Selene!¡± He breathes in. ¡°I¡¯d never do that!¡­ if I¡¯ve not fallen for you Selene!, can¡¯t you see, I didn¡¯t want you to die¡­. Cos I love you¡­ and I want to spend every moment of my life with you.¡± Wayne says. Selene blinks and run her hand down her hair. Oh God what did she do go deserve someone like him.


    ¡°Y-ou do?¡­ Wayne?, you still w-anna be with me¡­ despite all you k-now?¡± She stuttered, it¡¯s too good to be true-just too good.


    ¡°The more reason I wanna be with you Selene!, I want to teach you how to love!, that you don¡¯t deserve to live your life full of regrets¡­ You made mistakes¡­ but I love you despite all your ws, so don¡¯t you go about ranting and asking for my forgiveness¡± He red yfully at her and Selene held his palm and kissed it affectionately.


    ¡°I love you so much Wayne!¡­ thanks for loving me!¡­ I thought I¡¯d n-ever find someone who¡¯d love me!¡­ but you did!¡­ thanks so much¡­ ¡± She falters as tears rolled down her cheeks. He¡¯s here with her now, and he promised he¡¯s not leaving. She¡¯s the most luckiest girl!, who didn¡¯t deserve to be loved but got loved anyways. They stay that way for some moments before Wayne heaves.


    ¡°Did Stacey make it?¡± He asks and she dropped his hand on her thighs. She sighed and shook her head. Wayne shut his eyes and groaned. The thought that Stacey is dead was one he couldn¡¯t imagine.


    ¡°I¡­ fell unconscious after trying to call for help Wayne, Bill saved us, he managed to trace us because the car had a tracking device on¡± She paused and brushed off hair from her eyes. ¡°I never wanted for her to die! but I was ovee by fear, I didn¡¯t want to spend my life in jail¡­ or be separated for you¡­ I was helpless Wayne I¡¯m sorry!.¡± She plea.


    ¡°Shhhh¡­ ¡°Wayne coos ¡°Everything is gonna be fine Selene¡­ as long as I¡¯m here¡± He tugged her downwards with his arm and she gentlyy her head against his chest. Even though he¡¯s been here for a week, she could still percieve his familiar scent and warmth. Wayne kissed her soft hair and ruffled it lightly.


    ¡°You ready don¡¯t have to worry Selene¡­ Daddy is here¡± He says and Selene giggles, shutting her eyes and basking in this perfect moment he¡¯d created.

    FOUR MONTHS LATER


    ¡°Happy birthday Mom!¡± Wayne grins as he walks down the spiral staircase of their mansion. The whole living room is full of guests. Bill, Miguel friends, Fiona college friends, and few of Selene¡¯s clients.


    Susan, d in a long pretty gown and looking ravishing as ever, smiles as Wayne pulls her into a hug.


    ¡°Hmmn¡­ so how old are you, thirty, twenty huh?¡± Wayne groans and Susanughs, poking him yfully.


    ¡°Stop with the ttery Wayne will you!¡± She chuckles.


    ¡°I¡¯m not bluffing, I can spot a few, good looking guys stealing nces at you mom¡­ ¡± He winks yfully and she rolled her eyes.


    ¡°I¡¯m not an easy catch Wayne¡­ you should know that already¡± She whispered and heughs.


    Susan sighs and she looked around the living room filled with music, people andughter.


    ¡°It¡¯s what you¡¯ve wished for right¡± Wayne says and she gave a small smile.


    ¡°Yeah!¡­ it¡¯s what I¡¯ve always wanted son. A happy home once again, and it came on a tter of gold¡­.¡± She mutters as her eyes stop on Fiona chattering with her friends.


    ¡°And by that¡­ you also mean your strong headed daughter finally going to college huh?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s only a part of it Wayne¡­. I¡¯m also happy that soon I¡¯m gonna be a grand mom¡± She smirked and Wayne rolls his eyes.


    ¡°You could say that again mom¡­ and it¡¯s better I excuse you, cos that cute oldie called a godfather ising over to meet you, probably to steal an hour of your time¡­¡± He nudged her and he could see a blush creep up her fair skin.


    ¡°Susan¡­¡± Miguel smiles as he stops in front of her, sending Wayne a re.


    ¡°Do you mind I rescue you from your heck of a son?¡± He asks and held out his arm. Wayne raised his arm and stepped back.


    ¡°Sure thing oldie¡­ she¡¯s all yours¡±Wayne says. Susanughs and shrugs.


    ¡°Not like I have a choice¡± She winked at him before taking his arm and they walked away.


    Wayne smiles satisfactorily and turns, heading to the kitchen. He knows too well that¡¯s where Selene would be, bundled up in apron and taking care of the meals to be served. They had the maids to do so¡­ but she won¡¯t hear of it. He steps into the kitchen and truly finds Selene handing a tray of food to a maid. He steps out of the way for the maid to leave and he fold his arms to watch her.


    ¡°Please Wayne¡­ I don¡¯t want your scoldings okay¡± Selene rolled her eyes as she takes off her apron.


    ¡°You really aren¡¯t gonna listen to me are you¡­¡± He sighs and stalked to her, tucking away sweaty strands of hair.


    ¡°I want this night to be perfect Wayne¡­ it¡¯s your mom¡¯s birthday remember!¡± She blew out tiredly and walks to the sink to rinse her hands.


    ¡°You should be greeting the guests instead belle¡± He groans.


    ¡°I wil, in a few minutes¡­ I¡¯m done anyways¡± She turned off the faucet and run her palm through her hair.


    ¡°Did I tell you¡­ you¡¯re looking sexy in that gown of yours?¡± Wayne smirks and her cheeks heats up.


    ¡°You did¡­ thrice¡± She rolled her eyes and he cocked his brows.


    ¡°Oh!¡­ my bad¡­ too much for being so damn sexy¡± He says huskily as he stared her down. Though she¡¯s heard him flirt with her countless times, she couldn¡¯t stop the way her heart fluttered and the way her entire body always heat up at the intensity of his gaze.


    ¡°Mom wants a baby¡­ she wants to be a grannie¡­¡± His arms goes around her waist and he pulls her close. She breathe out and giggled.


    ¡°So¡­ we agreed on getting married first green orbs¡± She teased, sying her palmss on his chest.


    ¡°Tch!¡­. what if we make a baby sooner¡­ probably a little prince¡± He grazed his thumb pad against her lips and she sucked in her breath.


    ¡°I don¡¯t mind¡­.¡± She smirked and draped her arms around his neck, pressing her lips against his. Wayne spanks her ass yfully and she giggled against his mouth as she felt the familiar touch of his tongue against hers. Soon they were kissing intensely.


    Selene sighed against his mouth. Maybe being an Enchantress wasn¡¯t so bad afterall¡­ cos it had led her to the man she loved with every ounce of her breath, and the man she¡¯s gonna wake up to every morning¡­ for the rest of her life¡­.
