I already lost all my hope that I could survive this when the drunk man pushed me on the ground. Even though I tried to crawl away from him, I wasn’t able to escape when he pinned me down. My body was trembling, my heart was beating so fast. I still tried to beg for mercy but they seemed to be out of their minds.When he was about to lower his head to kiss me, someone took him away from me. He pulled the man up and then punched him in the face. I was terrified, I couldn’t see what was happening properly but I knew that the man was punching them. Until he defeated them all by himself. That’s when I realized who it was. It was Harold. He helped me get up from my feet while I still cry because of fear.“Are you OK? Why are you here anyway? God, Selina! You made me worry!” he exclaimed.And because he shouted at me, I quickly ran away from him. I even heard him call me but I didn’t look back. When I finally reached my car, I hopped in and drove my way to Barbara’s house. I have nowhere
Emma seemed surprised by what Lillian whispered to her. To be honest, I’ve heard about Dorian before. He’s a wealthy businessman. Maybe that was the reason why Emma looked surprised? But why is Harold with a businessman like him when he’s a surgeon?Not that long, the owner of the restaurant came. He was even shocked to see Dorian and Harold standing right before us.“D-dorian, H-harold, what are you doing here?” The owner asked.“These two women are harassing your customers,” Dorian pointed at Lillian and Emma.“What are you saying?!” Emma asked. Her eyes widened.“And this woman that they were harassing is my wife.” This time, Harold held my hand and then pulled me closer to him. Emma and Lillian gasped in surprise. They couldn't believe what they just heard.“What the hell are you saying? How did you become her husband?!” Emma shouted.“Do we have to show you our marriage contract then?” Harold asked. “If you want to save this restaurant, ban these two women here,” Dorian said.
After I called the cab to drive me to Harold’s villa, I got inside and looked out the window to reflect on things that had happened to me in almost two weeks.I never imagined it would be like this for me, my whole world turned around so fast and messy.Watching the cars outside the window, I felt my cell phone vibrate from the pocket of my pants. I immediately saw Jessica's number flashing on the screen.“Why is she calling?” I murmured.When I answered the phone, I heard my mother’s shouting voice from the background.“Selina!” Mom shouted. “How did you manage to bully Emma?!”“The news was fast, Mom? You’ve got it right away?”“And you're really even able to make a joke, Selina? Are you mocking me? I can't believe it! You're the older sister, you shouldn't have done that to her!”“I'm sure you don't know the real reason why this happened to you. It wasn't me who did that to her, it was my husband.”“Husband?!”“Yes. And I don't need to explain myself to you, Mom. I know that even
After two days of just cleaning and taking care of Susie, I decided to get out of Harold’s house to start looking for a job. Just like what I said, I don’t want to be a burden to Harold and to hear awful things from him someday. I can sense that he will count all of the things that he was giving me once he started to realize it. And more because I am just using him for my revenge. Once he finds out, he’ll surely be enraged in anger.“Sweet Café, Miss! Grandma! Sweet Café!”And after a week of trying to find a job, I didn’t land any. It was hard because of the surname I have. And I can feel that my father has something to do with it. Especially when three companies rejected me all at once right after seeing my C.V. I’m sure that he did some trick to stop them from hiring me. I can’t believe that my own father would do that to me.So I decided to get a lower paying job, which is giving out flyers on the street. Just a temporary job so I can save money. And to not rely on Harold the whol
“How was your design?”I looked up at Harold when he looked at my tablet where I was doing the design for the company that I wanted to sign up for the bidding. As I showed it to Harold, he sat up beside me and took the tablet.“You’re pretty great,” he replied. “I’m sure you’ll win the bidding.”“Thanks! I’m confident with my design. I have two years experience, you know.”“Good luck for tomorrow,” he said.I nodded. After days of designing, it has been doing good. Harold was very supportive of me and we never argued since the day that he asked me to resign from giving flyers on the street.“Are you done?” he asked. I shook my head. “I haven’t done it yet.”He sighed and then stood up. “Right, good luck.”Hearing his cold voice, I looked up at him as he walked out of my bedroom. Instead of thinking why he was so cold towards me, I just shrugged and continued what I was doing. The next day, I was nervous when I entered the company. This company was the enemy of my father’s company b
I sighed as I entered Harold’s Villa. I was really devastated and I didn't know how to face my husband right now. He gave me this opportunity and now it all went to waste. When I woke up this morning I was so excited because I thought I would be able to show everyone my talent. I thought I could start a fresh and new life with my new company but it turned out bad. Susie ran towards me as soon as I entered the entrance. I fed her with dog food then I walked back to the living room. When I got there, I saw Harold sitting on the sofa while scrolling through his phone. He looked up at me. “Hey… what happened? Why do you look depressed?” His eyes looked so worried and unhappy upon seeing me.I sat down beside him and then sighed. “I wasn’t able to present my design…”His brow arched. “What do you mean?”“Jason and our Boss got mad at me because of it,” I said with my teary eyes. “Selina, why didn’t you do your best? I did my best to put you in that job and you ended up failing? I saw yo
Harold’s POV:I just got out of the shower when my phone rang. Just when I saw Dorian’s name flashed on the screen, I quickly tapped the answer button and then talked.“Yeah? What is it?” I asked.“Hey, bro! I think you need to get in here,” he said.“And why would I do that?” “Your wife is in danger. I heard Lilian asked someone to take her to a hotel and take nude photos of her.”“What? Are you sure about that?”“At first, I wasn’t sure. But when I saw her standing up drunk with that guy, I was very sure,” he said. “Come on! Get in here, I’ll send you the hotel. I followed them!”With that, I quickly turned off the call and cursed loudly. What the hell is wrong with that woman? She’s always out there making a problem that I always have to solve and it frustrates the hell out of me!Dorian sent me the hotel where that fucking guy took my wife and then I drove my way there. As soon as I saw Dorian in front of the door, I quickly kicked it with all of my strength, and the door knocked
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
