Selina’s POV:I woke up with my head so heavy, I was so dizzy that I couldn’t open my eyes properly. But because I was thirsty, I forced myself to get up only to see Harold sitting on the couch next to my bed. He was busy scrolling through his iPad while sipping on a cup he was holding.“You’re awake?” he asked.I slowly moved to sit on the edge of the bed. And when I did, Harold spoke.“What were you doing at the bar last night?”“It doesn’t matter to you,” I replied while massaging my temple.“How come that it doesn't matter to me? You are my wife, I am your husband! Don’t you realize what happened to you because you went there?” Now he put down the cup on the small side table as well as the iPad.“What happened? I still got home safe!” I replied. “You got home safely because of me, Selina! Someone was about to rape you and I rescued you there,” he said in a gritted teeth.I was stunned. I didn’t remember what happened last night and how I got home. But I remembered that someone s
Third Person’s POV:After Selina stormed out of James’ office he sighed and shook his head before he sat back to his swivel chair. He was mad about that girl, he doesn’t really like her despite the fact that she has done a lot more achievements than Emma. James was about to start working again when his phone rang. After pressing the answer button, he put it on his ear.“Hello, who is this?”“Hello Mr. James Woodward! This is Margarette Scott from Brilliant Construction. We would like to inform you that the winning design from the bidding has been canceled due to some technical errors,” the woman from the other line said.His eyes widened. “What do you mean?”“We’re sorry, Mr. Woodward but someone informed us that the designer of the said work wasn’t the real designer but she just stole the work. We will conduct a further investigation about this matter—”“Who informed you about this?! That design was my daughter’s!”“I’m so sorry, Sir. But we cannot disclose any information about it.
Third POV:“BREAKING NEWS! James Woodward, the CEO and co-owner of Woodward Designs was accused of tormenting his daughter, Selina Woodward for two days. The photos showed that Selina was rushed to the hospital after being rescued due to dehydration… We tried to reach out for James Woodward but his side hasn’t released any statement regarding this matter—”James quickly turned off the television before the reporter could say further words. Their company has taken another hit because of the news today and it’s driving him insane! How did Selina run away from the Villa? Those bullshit securities! They didn’t even know that Selina escaped!“Sir, what was happening here? What does the reporter mean that you tormented Selina?” Gerald asked in confusion and shock. “Oh come on, Gerald! Do you really think that news was true? Selina was surely the one who’s behind this. She wanted to bring us down because she still thought that I stole her design! She’s always like this, you know that! Playi
I was so happy when I left the Villa to go home. Sir Cade hired me right away and he asked me for suggestions with the kitchen, bedroom and some parts of the Villa. I also showed him my sample designs that he immediately liked. He was amazed by how I was able to tell what he wanted to do with his Villa.On my way to my car, a new car parked beside mine. And I knew whose car it was. Of course, we have been together for a year! My brow arched upon seeing him. What is he doing here?As soon as he got out of his car, he saw me. Then he rushed towards my direction.“Selina!” He called.I wasn’t able to react at first but when he was finally in front of me, I stepped back. “What are you doing here?” he asked. “None of your business,” I replied. I wanted to ask the same thing but of course, I stopped myself from doing that.“It’s still my business, you’re my fiancee’s sister!” he said matter of factly.“Really? You have business with me? Come on, Gerald!” I rolled my eyes.“Anyway, you nee
Selina’s POV:While driving my way back to Harold’s Villa I realized that I can use Gerald’s invitation to show him that I am now married to his Uncle. That’s why when I finally came home, I waited for Harold to come home and tell him about the engagement party. And then, to make sure that he will agree, I cooked a tasty dinner for him. When Harold got home, he went straight to the kitchen. I smiled when he sat down on the chair. Of course I acted so kind in front of him.“I smelled your dinner, you have a favor to ask, yeah?” he asked. Like he already read my mind.“You already know me,” I chuckled. “Come, let’s eat first.”He agreed and I served him with the food that I made. Just like what I expected, he really liked my food. The last time I cooked for him, he denied that he liked it but of course, I know he just wanted to insult me that time.“How was it?” I asked.“Delicious as ever,” he replied. “Really? You despised my food last time.”He shrugged and then continued eating.
The engagement party was two days from today and I was eager to piss off Gerald so I asked Harold if I could go to the mall to go shopping. He agreed even after I hung him up in our making out session. “Hello, Barbara? I’m already here!” I said while roaming my eyes around the mall to find her.“Here!” she said.Then I looked around, and I saw her standing while waving in front of a coffee shop. I smiled and walked towards her excitedly.“Are you sure it’s free?” Barbara asked.“Yes, Harold gave me a bank card, right? I haven't used it before so I’ll try using it today.”Barbara smirked and then snaked her hand around my arm. “Come on! You should become the most beautiful woman in your ex-boyfriend and your sister’s engagement party!” We both shrieked in excitement before we started doing our makeover. We went to the beauty salon and made my hair brown and curly at the edge. Then my manicure for my fingernails to give it a fresh and natural looking polish. We were having fun shopp
On the way back to the Villa, I practiced on how to tell Harold that I spended a lot of his money. I struggled thinking of a great excuse, but just when I thought that Harold would get mad at me for spending too much, instead, he even complimented me, which surprised me! It’s not likely that he will compliment me like that! I was smiling from ear to ear as I strode my way to the kitchen to cook our dinner. Of course, even though he told me that it’s fine that I spended too much, I still have to do what he asked me to! And that's cooking for him.Right when I was about to get inside the kitchen, Harold called me.“Hey, Selena!”I stopped and turned to my heels to look at him. “Yeah?”He cleared his throat before he replied. “You don’t have to cook dinner tonight. We will go to Dorian’s dinner party. I forgot to tell you earlier. If Dorian hadn’t called me, I would definitely have forgotten about it,” he said, shaking his head.“What was the dinner party about?” I got curious.“Well, i
Wearing the red dress that Harold chose for me, I scanned myself in the mirror to see if everything was perfect. The dress fits on me so well. I am not used to wearing this kind of dress so I tried to lift up the dress to cover my cleavage but even though I tried, I couldn’t lift it up more and it would look weird if I did this. I sighed and then turned around to see my back. I couldn’t zip up the zipper properly because I can’t reach my back. And right before I could, the door opened and Harold went inside of my bedroom.“You’re ready?” he asked.I lifted up my head to see him then I smiled. “Yeah… I just need to zip up this dress first.” I replied as I struggled to reach for it.“I’ll help,” he volunteered.“It’s fine, I can do it.”But he didn’t listen to me, he walked up towards me and then stood behind my back. I saw how he lowered his head to reach for the zipper. His fingers brushed through my skin which tickled me and I bit my lower lip because of his touch. Right when he fina
