Selena's POVI sat still in my chair at the Marino’s family dinner. I should feel relaxed since I was one of them, but I could not. I would never feel relaxed because, one, I was seated beside Jake who began as if I was not there, and at my other side sat Kelvin, Jake’s brother, and in front of me was Nancy, who made it her mission of throwing me dagger looks. So, I was surrounded by enemies. The only thing was that Kelvin was trying to get me involved in their conversation.Apart from that, my whole body still ached. Jake had to force me down here so the family will not worry about my health. Everything was just a show for Jake, and I cannot believe I still loved this guy.“How come she landed in the hospital?” Nancy's voice snapped me back to the present, and I looked across to her. She was already sneering at me like it was my fault she was forced to be seated in front of me.“I told you not to bring the matter up again,” Mrs. Marino said, admonishing her daughter. She gave me a sm

Jake’s POVI still find it hard to believe that Rose could actually come to the house like that, like we were still together, and it hurts me that I had to hurt her always with my actions and words. She must never know the real truth; nobody knows the real truth, not even Selena.I looked at her briefly before concentrating on the road. She was asleep but was muttering words and sweating, so I put on the AC if it would help her. She does not deserve to actually pass through what she had. I could not remember the event that took place.How I saved her like she said or how I ended up in bed with her—I can't even remember having sex with her. I want to believe I would never do such a thing with Selena. This marriage was fake, only on paper till I get what I wanted. I needed Selena right beside me anyways.Was that selfish? That is life. Nothing comes easy in life; I see the world like a battlefield, where only the strongest survive, and I am all set on surviving, not just to survive now

Selena’s POVWhat the hell? I glared at Jake. What rubbish is he talking about? Hillary was a sweet person, a hardworking lady, a caring and loving mother to her son, and a good friend to me.He was rude to Hillary earlier, and knowing Hillary too well, I know she was offended. That was why she said nothing and just left the way she did. Jake had no right to talk down to any of my friends. No right at all.“You are married to a Marino. Don’t you think you need to be careful of who you call a friend?” Jake asked me.I felt like giving him a slap across his handsome face. I clenched my fist to avoid actually acting like I imagined. “Hillary is totally harmless, and Max is a sweet child.”“I wouldn’t say so,” Jake said.I closed my eyes and counted to ten, just as my aunt taught me to do in some uncontrollable situations. When I opened my eyes, I saw Jake looking at me like I have lost my mind. “You have no right to tell me who or not to associate with.” I paused and carried on before he

Jake's POV★FLASHBACK★“What’s going on here?” Mrs. Marino asked, walking into my office unnoticed. I quickly picked up the file from the ground, took my seat, and pretended to go through it, while Jeff just stared at me in disbelief.“Good day, ma’am,” Jeff said, realizing too late how he addressed my mom.“Ma’am? No... no, it’s mom,” Mrs. Marino stressed, correcting him. “Back to business, I came here to make sure you attend your blind dates, and mind you, number seven and nine are out of this country. Jeff, get the private jet ready,” my mom announced, strutting around my office.Sometimes I couldn’t help but forget my mom was once a model, but she always reminded me whenever she did the catwalk thing.“Yes, mom, I’ll get the jet ready, and I’ll tie him and drag him down to his dates if permitted,” Jeff pronounced his undying loyalty.“Permission granted!” Mrs. Marino gladly dished out. Jeff pulled out his tie from his collar, walking over to me, aiming to tie me down.“I’m not kn

Selena's POVI fell forward as I tripped over. I wasn’t expecting Jake to catch me, but he did. My front was pressed into his, and my braless breast felt his strong abs through the thin shirt of my nightdress. What was I thinking wearing such an exposed attire?My whole body was aware of his. I lifted my eyes to meet his, and we stood there, gazing at each other. My traitor of a body still craved his touch. The last time we were together, though I was in pain from the kidnap, I still felt Jake’s single touch on my body as I finally gave in to him.My tongue escaped my mouth and wet my suddenly dry lips, and I watched as Jake’s gaze followed this movement. My stupid heart got excited by this action. I mentally slapped myself to get normal. Instead of pushing away from him, I held on tight to him like he was my lifeline.Jake cleared his throat, which brought us both back to the hard reality of our situation. I can’t comprehend how we can easily go from barking at each other to being nic

Rose's POVI observed as my betrayer of a friend was playing with her child; she looked so happy. It didn't even show that she had been admitted to the hospital a few days back. She should still be wallowing in pain, at least to mirror the hurt she caused me, but there she was, smiling and laughing as if the world was perfect.She had turned my world upside down, so there was no justification for her current joy. Moving closer, I found it shocking that she had a kid she had been hiding. She had never mentioned her son, and I had not seen him before, even though we were close and had no secrets between us.Memories flooded back, like the moment I excitedly shared news of my engagement to Jake with Selena."Why do you have such a glow?" Selena had asked me as she joined me at our usual café.I smiled, pulling my hair back behind my ear with my ring finger. Immediately, she caught sight of the sparkling diamond stone atop the ring, she hastily drew her chair back and sat down across me.

Jake's POVI just concluded a meeting with one prospective client and made my way to my office. I checked my phone again to see if Selena had replied, but she hadn't. Why wouldn't she respond to the text I sent? Was she going to continue ignoring me?This was one thing Rose would never do. She always replied to my texts, regardless of how busy she was. Entering the main office where my secretary's office was, I saw he was talking to someone with her back to me. I waited for the person to speak; lately, I relied on people's voices now as sometimes their faces might go blurry."Rose," Jeff said."I want to see Jake. I have something to say to him now," she yelled"Rose, he..." Jeff looked at me for help."Speak," I said, bailing Jeff out from replying. Rose turned to look at me, and it pained me that I could not make out her beautiful outline clearly. I couldn't even describe how she looked, how the woman I loved appeared, whether she had grown more beautiful or not. That remained why I

Selena’s POVI drifted off to sleep as soon as my head touched the arm of the chair. I was too tired to even lift a finger after managing to get all my things into the apartment right there in the living room. Why did Jake get a penthouse? Why not a simple house with a yard? I was getting tired of all these glass houses, and the constant glow bothered me. I desired all the shiny things, but I had to hold myself back a bit.I didn't want to fall into another trap with Jake; who knew if he had installed hidden cameras around the house. I heard footsteps and opened my eyes to see Jake standing in the middle of the mess I had created. He looked irritated.I sat upright in my seat. "You're here," I said, wondering if he was done for the day. I checked my wristwatch and saw that it was only past four."What the hell is all this?" he demanded."My stuff. I haven't had the time to arrange them," I replied. Was he blind?"I can see that. My question is why? Do something about all these things
