Groaning with one eye open, the wall clock stated 7am in the morning. Too lazy to get up, but Selena has to get up. It was the day she was going to be free. Her contract had ended and knowing what she knows now, she was walking out of Fin mansion without a second thought. Yesterday, Julio had visited and told her about her parents death and how Vera Wilson was involved in everything. She learnt Vera was her father's evil ex and Dash was her half-brother. It didn't matter since her parents were dead so she told Julio that if ever the case was won in court, all that was left in her name should be given to the less privileged. She has nothing to do with what will constantly remind her that she no longer has the people she loves with her. Julio could do anything to convince her but Selena wouldn't hear of any of it. Life had solemnly dealt with her and she would want to be far away from any constant reminder of the things life had snatched from her.“Rise and shine, Selena.” She yawned

“The baby didn't stay! I'm sorry." The doctor's words kept replaying in his mind. The next few hours was hell for Robert. Pacing around at intervals, blaming himself for not realizing that Selena was pregnant until she had lost the baby, his baby."Fuck!"He kicked the air and tagged at his hair in frustration. It was all his fault. If he had paid close attention, he would have noticed.According to the doctor, Selena was just two weeks pregnant and giving blood out to Kyle had caused the miscarriage.Imagine saving a life to kill another. At the sound of Selena's voice, he turned and she was trying to get off the bed. She was awake now. "Hey, let me help you." Robert offered but Selena pushed his hand away, glaring at him. "When am I leaving the hospital?" She asked sternly, looking everywhere but him. "They won't let you leave until tomorrow." Robert informed her. "How are you?" He asked her. She scoffed and rolled her eyes at him."Fine." She answered bitterly, looking away

NINE YEARS AGO It was early on one Saturday morning, a girl was seen hovering around the Fin Mansion. Her face went unseen because of her cap and hoodie that covered everything from her head to waist, only revealing her dark hair and pale complexion.Her appearance didn't seem suspicious in the slightest, almost blending perfectly with the surroundings but the eyes that peeked through the edge of the cap showed that she is indeed interested in entering the mansion or waiting on someone or something. For over twenty minutes, she waited and when her patient was almost worn out, a guard came out and sighting the basket in front of the huge Fin gates, he rushed back in and soon returned with the young master, Robert Fin who was just almost turning twenty at that time. Seeing that her mission had been accomplished and that the baby inside the basket was in safe hands where he belonged, she pulled herself from her hiding and disappeared from sight. The lady turned out to be Selena Parke

“Dad?” Kyle called at the door, smartly dressed. Robert looked up from his laptop and smiled genuinely at him. He was trying to round off work before he could go down to the party venue. It was Kyle’s tenth birthday and after he left Peru without Selena, he had engrossed himself in planning the party himself to keep himself busy. That way he would think less of her and funny enough, it worked.“Hey big man. Come in.” He cheerfully invited his son in. Kyle threw himself on his father's bed peeping into the laptop, trying to find out what Robert’s working on. It was surprising to the whole family when they found out that Robert was actually Kyle's father. It was a beautiful surprise. Kyle didn't have to feel any less of himself finding out he was actually adopted by his real family. His only regret was his mother missing. He thought if he had been nice to Selena maybe she wouldn't have left him the second time. He did understand why she left him the first time, it was for his own go
