Selena's POV
Two 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 wRelated chapters

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 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

Stella chortled raising her shoulders high, she walked gently around the room."I know it's not your wedding day yet my lady, but looking good at all time is my major priority" she said.I nodded my head in agreement, Stella is one lady I know who pays great attention to everything she wears and of course she is crazy about fashion, I guess this is one of the reasons why her father is comfortable with her following me to the boutique.I sighed standing to my feet "I wish I could pay so much attention to myself like you do."Stella laughed walking closer to me "of course you can if only you allow me teach you how to."I nodded "maybe after the wedding."She giggled moving backwards.Stella placed her hands on her hips smiling "so tell me Selena, how do I look?"I had this grin on my face with the way she stood, her legs were long and straight, Stella looked like one of those models you see in the front of a magazine and I can't deny the fact th

Selena's POVStella was taken to the hospital.She had lost so much blood by the time the ambulance came.I tried reducing the flow of blood but the knife stuck in her belly got me even more scared, I was scared that I might end up causing her more harm.My body and hands were stained with blood as I paced the hospital hallway impatiently waiting for the doctor to come out and say something good.I was so scared of what Mr Chancy might to to me if anything should happen to his only child.I hated the fact that this had to happen to Stella but who would want to kill me?Stella sacrificed herself for my safety and I can't just believe that she could take such risk for me, why would she even do something as dangerous as that?I felt weak and tired.My shoulders sagged as I quietly sat on a long bench close by supporting my bowed head with my hands.My tears dropped to the ground.The whole event came flashing back into my mind, it
