The room I wake up in is white and I feel a strong tugging at my arm before my eyes flutter open and realize I'm in a hospital room. Then came the memory of me lying on the floor of the house with smoke all over the place, with Fabrico running in through the doors with a cotton jacket on and dashing towards me. His faint words as I pass out were "stay with me. Selene, come on, please. Stay with me baby"I move on the bed trying to sit up when I hear movement beside me and Kay's face looms above me, a smile overtaking her face. "You're ok" she gasped before ringing the bell on the bedside.She helps me sit up and I take the wires out of my body, my hand rubbing my forehead. I'm wearing a blue hospital gown then my eyes roam the room. It's only Kay here. Two nurses entered, checking my temperature and all that. "All good says one""What happened?" I ask."You inhaled a lot of smoke. You're lucky it didn't affect your lungs much, we able to treat some minor injuries as well as some burns
Note; This is the sequel to a book, "The Pact" Read that first before this one for better understanding!! SELENE POV Drip! Drip! Drip! I watched the rain roll down the glass of my car, slow and steady. My eyes kept following the trails it left behind, before moving to another bubble of water. It's getting so close to August, so whatever rain we see now, is a lucky one. We should be out of it by now, whilst enjoying the summers. "Home now ma'am?" Dolan, my driver said. I glare from him to my office building. I own a Telemarketing company, and it's one of the biggest Telemarketing companies in Seattle. Maybes it's because my husband, Fabrico bought the place or the fact that I'm married to him. I don't know. But I look away from the building and to Dolan. The building may feel like h
FABRICO POVI knew she would whip me for not attending Russo's birthday party, but I was busy. A very important deal I was making with a European investor was canceled and they signed with another company. It bothered me for a second but I can do without them instead they should regret not working with me because my company is the best manufacturing and corporate company they will ever meet.My hands gently touch Selene's back caressing her skin. I missed her so much even though I kissed her this morning before going to work. Now, even I didn't know how I was going to tell her about my trip to San Francisco. I have an urgent meeting that needs my attention and will be gone for a week or two with Liano."Fabrico..." She moaned against my lips." You're zoning out, maybe you need to rest" is she fucking with me? She is exactly what I need. Shaking my head, I lift her by her
EMILIANO POVI watch her walk into my clubhouse, she has on a skinny silver dress that stopped just above her thighs and if she bent over, she'd be giving the men around here a good view. The back of the gown was down to her waist and her straight black shiny hair dangled as she worked by. With those heels on her, she could easily match my height but still, yet, she won't compare."Vanessa is back I see," My best friend Zandro said and I eye him before facing the beautiful, fuckable woman that had manger to creep into my life like a mist. We've had dinner a couple of times and she's even met my family once or twice but she still seems distant and it was like I couldn't reach her. It's unbelievable to think that I've known her for one fucking year and we haven't fucked. She still manages to keep me in the friend zone."I thought she quit being a stripper" I mumble
SELENE POVKai shrilled when she saw me, her hands flying to the air as she comes to hug me. Let's just say it's been a while since I saw her and with the whole romance going on between her and Leon, they took a trip to Bora Bora and just came back. I hope he makes her happy because if he breaks her heart, I'll kill him."Baby girl! You look so good!" I squeak and she kisses both my cheeks."You too." She said and take few steps back. "My, look at you. Fabrico let you leave the house like that?" Her eye run up and down my black handless gown that stopped on my thighs and clung to my body like a second skin."He's not even home yet," I say so plainly."You guys are ok right?" Her eyes held full concern and I hug her again, smiling. I don't want to ruin this night with any sad stories or bad thoughts so I just grip her hand and pull her into the bar instead
Selene POV"Excuse me?" I clear my throat and he turns around, his hands in his pocket and when I see his face, my breath catches in my throat. Something about his thick jaw and blue eyes reminds me of Blake but this guy looks different, organized, and has his shit together. It can't be Blake. Even if it was Blake, he's been missing from the Asylum for a year plus now. It can't be him."Hello Mrs. Valenquez" he smirked and I squeeze my fist."Uh..." I stretch my hand out for a handshake and he received it. Something about the touch was familiar but I shrug. It's probably just the feeling of meeting someone new. "Mr...""Taylor! Jake Taylor" he smiled and I return it."I'm sorry but have we met before?" I couldn't help but ask. His face remained the same, no emotions shown."I believe it's our first meeting ma'am" He lower
SELENE POVAfter the rain, it was almost too late to go back to work so I decided to go straight home, calling Dolan to come to pick me up at the cafe. I freaked out when I saw twelve missed calls from Fabrico. I'm fucked!. I bid goodbye to Jake Taylor who was absolutely a good company despite my first impression of him. He spoke about his little boy a lot and his wife.Immediately I reach home, I see Freya sitting in the dining with her coloring book and I go to swoop her in my arms."Mommy" she squeaked before hugging my neck. "I miss you" she smiled and I kiss her cheek."I missed you too darling. Have you had dinner yet?""No. I was waiting for you" She said and I place my hand on my chest."Oh, baby. You were waiting for Mommy" I felt touch. "Come, let's go eat." I carry her in my arms to the kitchen and Gre
SELENE POV Mr. Rochester was the exact opposite of what I thought he'd be and not what everyone painted him to be too. Instead of a serious businessman who'd be so strict and wise, he's more a cunning stupid womanizer who's done nothing but sexualizing my secretary since we got here. It's not like I have a problem with that. Leah is single and can be with whoever she wants, but it was a bit gross the way he stared. "So, I'm signing this deal with which of the Valenquez?" He asked with a grin, his hands folded on the table in front of him. "My brother Emiliano" I voice out and he nods before picking up the paper. "So it's a tech and motor company" he scrutinized the paper like it was some gold he was trying to mine. "Interesting deal. And what does my company get from this? What's my share?" "Twenty per
