Selena's POV
My heart is broken, completely shattered.I felt so weak as I wept deeply while doing the prince's laundry.I was done with the laundry and moved straight to my room.Nina was there sitting on a chair when I walked in.She saw the way I looked and stood up in amazement."What happened Selena?" She asked.I could see the terrified look in her eyes, my hair looked a little messed up.I didn't say a word to her I turned away to head to my bed when she stopped me."You're bleeding Selena" she said watching me.Of course I could barely walk well and she knew something have happened to me."Who did this to you Selena?" She cried out, tears soaked her face.I fell into her arms crying like a child."The prince raped me, he raped me" I said repeatedly.Nina was shocked but she held me tight rubbing my back trying to console me in between her own tears.It have been three months since I was raped like theMr Chancy was sitting in the living room having a cup of coffee when the news came up and he was shocked to see Selena on the television, he couldn't believe his eyes.Stella and Louis walked into the living room, they were all smiles as they had just returned from a dinner date, though their relationship was extremely toxic but they tried to pretend outside especially in front of the media."What am I seeing?" Mr Chancy yelled standing to his feet.Stella and Louis walked into in the living room in a hurry looking amazed to here him scream that way."What is it dad?" Stella asked without looking at the television.He pointed to the television looking away.Louis and Stella fixed their stare on the television and gasped."Selena... that's impossible" Stella mumbled in fear.She turned to her father "dad I don't think that's Selena, it can't be her."Her father gasped looking up at her "what do you mean? It's the same face and name."
The next day came...Louis grew even more nervous when Stella announced that Selena's personal assistant called and she would be having dinner in their house.Mr Chancy have been making an underground investigation about Selena which no one seems to be giving him the exact answers he wants.He grew very upset when he found out that the government have taken possession of Selena's house and demolished the house in it but their was nothing he could do or say about it since he was not legally married to Selena before she disappeared.He rubbed his hands in anxiety while sitting in the living room later that evening, for a moment he believed Stella was wise in trying to bring Selena closer to the family, he imagined the fact that he might be able to convince her to marry him which also gives him legal rights over her wealth.Mr Chancy was a greedy business man who always wants more but he would always say that if you want to be successful in business, you should
After a few days the prince noticed Selena's absence in the palace but when he asked, his mother told him how she stole some gold and ran away but she have sent guards to look for her.This amazed the prince but he didn't seem to care about it.It was the tradition of their kingdom to spend a night with the bride on the night before the wedding day as the prince sat in his chambers with the princess who was dressed in a beautiful out fit.The prince smiled at her beauty and couldn't wait to have her.He watched the princess strip naked in front of him but his face broke into a sad expression when he noticed something weird on her body.The princess looked up at his face and noticed he wasn't pleased with her body."What is it my prince? Why do you look so sad?" She asked looking a little frightened.The prince shook his head and rubbed his hand on his eyes then he started pointing at her stomach."Where is it?" He asked.The princess took
I just finished preparing lunch, it wasn't well spiced like the food the chefs made at the restaurant but it was something a human could eat, I made spaghetti.Getting something to eat everyday has always been a miracle after the death of my mother, it wasn't like it was so easy when she was alive but at least I had a helping hand from her.I didn't have a job that paid me much neither did she but together we always found a way to put food on the table and fix our leaking roof once in a while.I always get scared when raining season is drawing closer, it leaves most parts of our house wet with puddles, most times I come home from work after a rainy day to meet my clothes wet.I placed the food on an old table, the only table in the small living room located at the right side, I sat on the long bench taking a deep breath, at that moment I wondered where my sister had gone, there was nothing more to eat apart from this food so I needed to share it with her.An
I shut my eyes, she was right, we had no money but watching my sister suffer and die just like my mother did was something I couldn't stand."I'm taking you to the hospital tomorrow morning" I said letting go of her.She was shocked "we have no money Selena and you need to go to work tomorrow else you might get fired."I shook my head "you're more important to me than my job, I would explain to Mr. Charles later."I made it sound so easy but the truth was that I knew that Mr.Charles was far from someone who could understand that human lives are more important than standing all day to serve his troops of customers which includes the arrogant Mr. Chancy.The next day....I woke up very early as usual and dressed up for work, I have decided to take my sister to the hospital and go to work afterwards.Leaving her all alone at the hospital wasn't what I wanted but I had no choice, I needed to keep working cause we needed the money for our survival.
"Where on earth am I supposed to get $200,000 from?" My hands and feet were shaking with the thought of the huge sum of money.I took another glance at the paper staring closely at it wondering if perhaps I saw wrongly but I didn't, it was exactly $200,000, I gasped in fear feeling totally frustrated. My salary wasn't even up to $2000."Are you okay?" My colleague Maryann asked looking concerned.I nodded, I wasn't ready to bug anyone with my issues, I was sure she couldn't help me.She shook her head "Selena you don't look okay to me, what's going on? You were late to work today."I sighed looking up at her oval shaped face "you're right, I'm not okay, my sister is sick and she needs urgent surgery but the fee is so expensive, I can't afford it."Maryann sat beside me "I'm so sorry about your sister, but how much is the surgery?"I handed the paper over to her, I didn't know how to say it to her."Oh! My God! This is a lot of money! Where are
"Are you okay Louis?" She asked peering at his face.He nodded "sure mother, I'm good."She shook her head "I know that look on your face, what is bothering you son?"Louis sighed "mother it's nothing, you shouldn't bother about me."He stood up to his feet stretching himself, he had a long day at the fish market"I would go to bed now."He walked into his room without saying another word to his mother, he didn't find it cool to disturb him mother with his relationship issues, they had more than enough to worry about at home.Louis walked into the small bedroom and sat on the bed, he shared the room with his two younger brothers who were fast asleep.He took a deep breath lying on his back "I don't know what it is but I have a feeling that Selena is hiding something from me" he thought shutting his eyes.Few minutes later, he dozed off."Dad..." Stella called out walking into her father's bedroom.Mr. Chancy had was standing close to
For days I have slept in the hospital keeping my sister company at night and leaving for work very early in the morning, I practically lived in the hospital with her but I doubt if I cared one bit about that, I love my sister.I missed my bed though it wasn't so comfortable like that of the exotic hotels but I missed sleeping on it with my sister and I couldn't wait for the day when I would smile with so much delight and confidence and proudly say "finally it's over, we won."Selena turned around and found Maryann standing behind her with a strong grin on her cheeks, Selena was glad she took Maryann's advice."I believe this would work out fine" I nodded to myself.I walked back into the restaurant, it was time for me to go home or should I say to the hospital.I met Maryann standing close to her locker getting ready to go."He asked me to see him tomorrow" I informed.She smiled "great! I told you their is no harm in trying, he is a nice man."
