I walked into my room with my bleeding arm.
I winced at the pain I felt sitting coldly on my bed.I shut my eyes wishing I didn't have to go down there to face Stella, it was a mistake after all.But I couldn't sit up here and pretend like everything was cool while Stella comfortably disrespects a woman down there simply because the woman works in her father's house, who does she think she is?I stood up walking into the bathroom to wash the blood off and maybe treat the injury if I can though I doubt of I could since it was hurting me so much.Stella have real long nails and they were painted red."That girl must be a witch" I thought taking a closer look at my arm while I washed it.I was still in the bathroom when I heard my door open."Selena...Selena..." he called out.I took a deep breath, it was Mr Chancy.I wasn't surprised that he came up to my room, after all his daughter told him I slapped her without telling him the reasoStella knocked softly on the door adjusting her clothes trying to make them look as skimpy as possible.She had lavished her body spray all over her body and it's smell was thick in the air.She sniffed continually "I smell so good.""Come right in" she heard him say.Stella walked into the office, she shut the door behind smiling at him.She had gone to see Mr Gabriel the family lawyer and friend just like he had asked her to earlier."Stella my love, I have been expecting you, what took you so long to get here?" He asked standing to his feet with his hands spread apart.She sighed "you wouldn't believe it if I told you."Mr Gabriel walked close to her, he leaned forward wrapping his hand around her waist.Stella stared into his eyes without saying any word.She has this smirk at the end of her lips.He drew her closer to himself, feeding his eyes with her seductive body, her fair laps were clearly visible.He slowly place
Stella's POVI walked over to my car, I opened the door and entered into it resting my head on the steering.I wanted to cry my heart out and scream to the heavens pouring out how heart broken I was.I was totally shut of words crippled by the thoughts of what Mr Gabriel had said.I felt like every bit of me was being drained slowly by the thought of what he said, it kept ringing in my head.I was gradually tearing into pieces, how am I supposed to take it all down that my own father have willed everything he owns to Selena leaving me with nothing?It sounded unbelievable but it was real, I have lost everything to Selena, this has been my biggest fear but my father is not yet married to her yet it has happened.I raised my head from the steering hitting it hard over and over again.I couldn't understand why my father made it sound like it was my fault that I had bipolar disorder.I was born this way, it was never my fault that I had this
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 POVTwo months later....I crept out of Mr Chancy's house when no one was watching, it hasn't been so easy leaving that house without having those body guards follow you around with cars.I hated the attention they drew to me and everyone kept pointing me out as Mr Chancy's wife.Most of them called me names and accused me of being a gold digger, well... who would understand me no matter how much I explain how I ended up in all these?I decided to pay deaf hears to their insults and mockery, shut my eyes and do what I promised to do.I took a cab down to my house, I unlocked the door and found everywhere looking very dusty.I ended up coughing loudly "this place is a total mess."I cleaned the whole place up dusty the little furniture sweeping the dust out, removing the cobwebs and moping the floor."This still remains my home no matter what" I thought.An hour later....I was done cleaning everywhere, the whole place w
Selena's POVMy heart started racing really hard the moment my gaze caught Maryann coming out of the supermarket, at the same time I didn't want to talk to her, after all she hurt me really bad.Louis's hand across my shoulder was really makimg me very uncomfortable and jumpy."Isn't that your friend?" He asked pulling me softly across the shoulder."That hurts Louis" I said with my voice slightly shaky as I kept my face straight without turning to look at Maryann."Oh! Sorry about that" he said adjusting his hand on my shoulder.I thought he would remove his hand finally but he didn't, I shut my eyes, I knew for sure that I was in deep trouble, at that moment Iwished that I didn't leave the house without the body guards, who is going to save me from Louis today?"Selena..." Maryann called out, she was behind us.Actually I didn't want to stop cause their was no point stopping to talk to someone as horrible as Maryann, not after what she
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 looked totally exhausted, he had returned from the market and he looked really messed up.His hands and clothes had dark stains all over as he was stinking of fish smell.Thelma smiled on seeing him, at least he was leaving the house on daily basis unlike before when he spent hours drenching his throat and mouth with alcohol.His father sat at the other corner with a newspaper in his hands."Good evening father" he greeted walking past him."Good evening son" his father greeted back as he watched him pass.Thelma turned to him "I told you that soon he would get over everything."He chuckled "I hope he forgives you when he finds out that you were the enemy he didn't know was lurking around."Her eyes widened in anger "what nonsense are you talking about?""About the evil you did Thelma, stop acting like what you did was right " he said fixing his gaze on the newspaper.She stood to her feet adjusting her clothes "well to keep yo
Louis turned to his mother "I met Selena the other day."Thelma stood to her feet at once "you did what?"She looked furious.Louis gaped "why are you acting like I said I met the devil?""Well you did meet the devil" his mother yelled."Stop it mother!" 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
