SelenaI woke up to the sound of birds chirping outside my window, feeling refreshed and excited for the day ahead. As I got out of bed and stretched my arms, I couldn't help but smile at the thought of seeing my little angel, Heaven. I had grown fond of her. I quickly got dressed and made my way to Heaven's room, eager to start the day with my little one. As I walked down the hallway, I could hear Saint and Heaven giggling and chatting away, which made me feel a bit confused. When I opened the door, I saw Saint and Heaven sitting on the bed, sharing a joke and laughing together. It was such a heartwarming sight to see them both so happy and carefree in each other's company."Good morning, Saint!" I greeted him with a warm smile."Good morning, Selena! How did you sleep?" Saint replied with his usual friendly demeanor."I slept great, thank you for asking. And how about you?" I asked, genuinely curious about his wellbeing."I slept like a baby, thanks to your comfortable guest room,
Selena I stood before the mirror, carefully adjusting the last few tendrils of my wavy, chestnut hair. Tonight was no ordinary night. Tonight, I would slip away from the gilded cage that was my life and venture into a world of possibilities. It was Bianca's school party, and though I knew Angel would never approve, I couldn't bear to miss it. Tonight, I would be free.I took a deep breath, my eyes sparkling with anticipation. The dress I wore was a daring scarlet, hugging my curves in all the right places. It felt liberating to wear something other than the drab, suffocating attire Angel had made his guards get me. Tonight, I was Selena, not just Angel's wife, I have missed this part of me so much, I miss my life over at my fathers house. I was determined to savor every stolen moment.Bianca's car pulled up outside the grand estate, she had to park In front in other for me to maneuver through. My heart fluttered with a mix of excitement and nervousness. This was the moment. If we wer
Selena’s povAs I turned the key in the front door lock, a wave of unease washed over me. The house felt unusually quiet, and the tension in the air was palpable. I hesitated for a moment, trying to summon the courage to step inside. My heart pounded in my chest, matching the rhythm of my anxious breaths. With a deep breath, I pushed the door open, and there he was.Angel stood in the middle of the living room, his arms crossed tightly across his chest. His usually warm hazel eyes were now cold, filled with a mixture of anger and disappointment. I felt my stomach sink as I realized he had found out about my secret excursion to the party last night."Selena," he hissed, his voice dripping with venom. "Where have you been?"I took a tentative step forward, my eyes darting around the room, searching for any signs of forgiveness or understanding. None were to be found. "I... I went out with some friends," I stammered, my voice barely a whisper. "I'm sorry, Angel. I didn't think it would be
Selena’s pov I sat at the ornate vanity in my bedroom, gazing into the mirror as I absentmindedly brushed my long, dark hair. My mind was clouded with thoughts, doubts, and an unsettling realization that had been creeping up on me for quite some time. I couldn't deny it any longer—I was being weak, allowing Angel to talk to me rudely and stop me from going out, and my own silence was complicit in his actions.Angel, was not only a powerful figure in the mafia but also a man who knew how to manipulate and control. Over the month, I had become accustomed to his brash behavior, his sharp tongue, and his complete disregard for my feelings. But now, as I stared at my reflection, something in me had changed. I am the daughter of a mafia! A surge of determination coursed through my veins. I had grown up surrounded by the mafia, watching my father command respect and instill fear in others. I had learned the ins and outs of this world, yet I had allowed myself to be reduced to nothing more
Selena’s pov As I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the straps of my crimson dress, excitement pulsed through my veins. Tonight was a special night – an opportunity to escape the suffocating grip of my life and embrace the freedom that had eluded me for so long. I was going out with Bianca and Saint, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of exhilaration. I was tired of being controlled by Angel. I glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already past seven, and I knew Bianca and Saint would be waiting for me downstairs. But there was one person I deliberately chose not to inform about our plans – my so called husband, I felt no obligation to seek his permission for a simple night out. This was my chance to assert my independence and reclaim a piece of myself. Heaven was asleep so I wasn’t very worried going out and I was sure her new nanny was taking care of her and watching her right now. With a final check in the mirror, I ensured every strand of my hair was perfectly in pla
SELENAAs I watched Heaven twirling around in her frilly pink dress, a thought crossed my mind. Why not take her out on a special date, just the two of us? Ever since her father and I got married, I had been trying my best to build a strong bond with her. This would be the perfect opportunity to spend some quality time together and create memories that would last a lifetime."Heaven, sweetheart, would you like to go on a special date with me today?" I asked, crouching down to her level. Her eyes widened with excitement as she nodded vigorously."Really, Mummy? Just you and me?" Heaven's little voice was filled with delight, and I couldn't help but smile."Yes, my darling. Just you and me," I replied, ruffling her golden curls affectionately. "Now, let's get ready for our special day out, shall we?"Heaven squealed with joy, clapping her hands as we both rushed to get ready. I helped her put on her favorite white sneakers, and she insisted on carrying her favorite stuffed bunny, Mr. Cu
ANGELAs I walked through the front door, my heart skipped a beat when I saw Selena standing by the living room window, holding the hand of Heaven. Instantly, a wave of anger washed over me. How could she do this? How could she take my precious daughter to see a man, her so-called friend? My blood boiled at the thought. I had instructed my guards to follow her and they found her going to a man’s house after going to the playground with Heaven. I took a deep breath, attempting to compose myself before approaching Selena. The tension in the room was palpable, the atmosphere thick with unspoken words. With every step closer, my anger intensified, but I knew I had to confront her calmly, rationally. Heaven's well-being was at stake, and I couldn't let my emotions cloud my judgment."S-Selena," I managed to say, my voice trembling slightly. "Can we talk? Alone?"Selena turned towards me, her face etched with surprise and a hint of apprehension. She must have sensed the turmoil within me, b
Selena I sighed quietly as my alarm clock's ringing jarred me out of sleep and forcibly yanked me from my dreams. Looking at the time after rubbing my eyes, I saw that it was already time to wake up Heaven and begin our day together. I forced myself to get up from the bed with a groan, feeling the usual heaviness of tiredness pressing down on me.A feeling of warmth swept over me as I walked to Heaven's room. Heaven's presence never failed to make my day better despite the difficulties we endured as a blended family. She was my tiny ray of sunshine, the only person who made me happy despite the ominous circumstances we were in.Heaven was still wrapped up in her covers when I softly opened the door to her room. Her cherubic face was peacefully sleeping. I walked over to her bedside smiling and softly said, "Good morning, baby. It's time to get up and prepare for the day.Heaven's eyes fluttered open as she shifted. She gave me a sleepy smile after yawning and stretching her small arm
