Jake’s POVI've been toiling tirelessly to ensure everything goes as planned. I was in my office nursing a headache. Although a pill helped somewhat, I knew I needed to reschedule an appointment with my doctor soon. As I reached for my phone to make the call, a knock echoed on my door."Who is it?" I asked.The door swung open, and someone walked in. With the distinct scent and walking step, I recognized him—Kelvin."How can I help you?" I inquired."Why? Can't I come say hello to you?" Kelvin replied."It's unlike you, so why are you here?""Give me control of the bar and hotel. You can focus on running the company," he said, getting straight to the point."I can manage everything well," I insisted."Now you're being greedy, brother," Kelvin's voice changed. "You want to control everything.""You are the CEO, or will be when I become the chairman. Isn't that enough for you?""Where I have to ask permission from you for everything I do? No, that position is worthless," Kelvin argued.

Selena’s POV I was hungry, and I wanted to be full with what on earth was entering into my nostrils. I almost fell from my chair, but Jake kept me right as I kissed him passionately on the lips. What was I doing? I hiccupped out of a sudden and pulled away from Jake. “Oops!” I covered my mouth, still feeling the spark from our heated kiss. “What are you doing?” I asked Jake. He looked at me as if I had lost my mind. He stood up on his feet. “You just kissed me.” “What? I did what?” Was I imagining the kiss? “I… I mean, I don’t…” What excuse do I want to give for kissing him? Because I wanted it? Because I wanted to feel connected to him, because I missed him? Which excuse will not sound immature to him? “It was a mistake,” I said with a stoic face. Before he could say more, my stomach growled in hunger, and Jake shook his head before going back to his seat to sit down. He pushed a plate in my direction; the aroma filled me a little. I dug into the food immediately, and when I was

Selena’s POVFor days, I wandered through life like a zombie, treading on eggshells, my nerves constantly on edge. Fear gripped me as I hesitated to open the last drawers of my vanity, unsure of what I might find. I remained oblivious to Jake's subtle expressions over the past few days, and though he observed, he remained silent.The inauguration event would start soon, and here I am seated in front of my mirror. My reflection seemed distant, my hands trembling. I declined Jake's suggestion of having someone else do my makeup, insisting that I could handle it myself.Hours passed, and I remained immobilized in my room, unable to lift even an eyeliner to my face. Emotions churned within me. I finally mustered the courage to open the drawer, my left hand trembling as I did. There it was, exactly where Hillary had placed it, and I stared at the pregnancy test kit.Conflicted thoughts raced through my mind. What should I do? How would Jake react? His family… I shook my head, using my leg

Jake’s POVI hoped I wasn't making a huge mistake by asking Selena to keep me updated with people's names—it was a big risk. But it would be odd to have Jeff with me throughout the whole night, considering I was happily married.The only person I could ask to do this was Selena. I hoped she wouldn't ask too many questions and would do as she was told. I had a lot to hide tonight, and I prayed she would make it easy for me, since her face would be the only one I could recognize fast enough."Okay," she agreed with no further questions. We were already there, and my fingers drummed on the wheel. "I am ready," she said after she had put her phone back in her purse, returning the file to the back seat.She looked at me, and any traces of what she might have been feeling were gone from her face. Even her strange attitude from the past few days had vanished. How quickly she changed into her role-playing. Was it so easy for her? Was she having fun with all this? While I found it hard to keep

Selena's POVI sneaked my way to the cookie rank; there was a lot of display to choose from. I took a plastic plate and chose some. Tasting it, I nodded in approval; it was delicious. Well, I finally found something that got my full attention at the whole event, and it's worth my time.I was onto my fifth cookie when I saw Jake. How on earth did he see me? I thought I was perfectly hidden out of view. He walked towards me, and my hand with the cookie was suspended in midair. When he got closer to me, he looked from my cookie to my face and back at the rank of cookies behind me.“I see, you’ve found something that interests you,” he said.“Well…” I trailed off but finished my cookie. I took an apple drink off the same table and chased down my cookie. I was completely full. My gown protested; I won’t be taking in anything again tonight. “I was hungry,” I told him, which was not a lie.“And how do you feel now?” he asked.“Good, filled with more energy,” I said, looking around. Why was h

Jake's POVWhen I was finally free from the people trying to involve me in conversations or other things, I made my way to the table where my mother and Selena were seated. It was time to call it a day. I had missed some calls from the police station; they must have some information for me. As for the case of the wedding day, there were no traces as to how I was drugged.I only found myself at the scene; I don’t remember driving there since Jeff confirmed that I came back to him for some task after I dropped Selena off. He also informed me that he found nothing odd that day. There was no footage to follow up the investigation. As much as I would like to pursue the case, there was no leading evidence.I wonder what this one would also be like. I will have to go back to the police station and confirm. When I got closer to the table, I heard my mom and Selena talking and the mention of the word ‘pregnant’. What were they actually talking about?“What is going on here?” I asked as I took

Selena's POV1 rested my back on my door as I closed it behind me. But then I felt as if I was back in my cell. I looked around my room, every part of the room reflected who I am. I walked further into the room and ended up at my vanity table, dropping my shoes beside the table I opened the forbidden drawer.It was time to make a decision, my purse from the floor vibrated and I picked it up and fished out my phone from it, I got a text from Hillary, asking if I was back from the event and how it went, I know the mean thing she wanted to ask is the result of the test. I placed the phone on the table and reached for my zipper.The struggle to bring the zipper down required acrobatics, jumping and twisting, but finally, it relented. I stepped out of the gown, tossed it on my bed, and approached the test. Carrying it to the bathroom, I closed the door firmly and did what needed to be done, sitting on the toilet lid as I awaited the result.In less than five minutes, my heart pounded as I
