Stella's POVI found my way to my favourite restaurant, it was an exotic one meant for the high and mighty.It was called first class restaurant.The restaurant wasn't so far from Mr Gabriel's office, it was actually few poles away and you could walk down there if you wanted to but I dared not do that, the daughter of Mr Larry Chancy can not be seen trekking under the hot scorching sun in this city, it was totally absurd.When I was younger, my mother would drive me around town and spoil me with lots of gifts, that was the least I could remember about her.She was not always there for me, especially when the kids bully me at school and I come home hoping to talk to her about it.Most times I spent the weekends alone without my father or mother, I had to learn to endure the bullies especially when the students called me crazy.It was really heart breaking, most times I couldn't stand it, I would cry and yell at them, I was too weak to do anything be

Selena's POVI smiled on hearing Mr Chancy's words.He wasn't wrong with his observations.I and Stella were growing closer by the day that most times I forget that she is supposed to be my step daughter, I see her more like a best friend.She looks out for me and cares so much for me unlike those days when she made life miserable for me in the house.At first when she started being kind to me, I thought it was a joke, but it was real after all.I sat beside him "yes, we are growing very close Larry."I wonder how I have been able to get used to addressing him as Larry when I am in front of him and Mr Chancy when I am standing before someone else.He is going to be my husband after all, so addressing him by his surname wasn't proper at all."Did you go out?" He asked on seeing by shoe lying beside my bed.I fixed my gaze on the shoe as I swallowed hard, I was supposed to place it back in the shoe racket which was filled with lots of

Louis screamed."Stay away from Selena or you might get yourself in trouble Louis, end this fire before it burns you too" she said.Louis scoffed "well you wouldn't be saying this now if Maryann didn't come out from no where to ruin my plans of running away with Selena."Thelma gasped staring at her son.She couldn't believe what she just heard.Thelma knew how dangerous it would be for Louis if Mr Chancy gets to find out that he ever had plans of eloping with Selena.Thelma walked closer to him and placed her hand on his shoulder "you remember what Mr Chancy did to you the last time he saw you with Selena, stay away from that girl if you really want to live long, that girl is b
