Selena's jaw dropped at the news. This was preposterous! She thought and decided that she had to reach him at all means. It was almost as though she was dreaming.This would make her come out of the trailer and also expose her to the prying eyes. She ignored all of that and navigated her way to the middle of the city where we had seen them stand. Surely, someone was going to answer her well. Why was everywhere silent? She pondered as she trod towards the podium she had seen him standing.A man stared at her from his trailer wondering what the General's wife was doing outside without anyone in sight."Good afternoon, ma'am. Are you looking for someone?" He spoke, causing her to jump.Selena placed a hand on her chest trying to calm her racing heart. She didn't need such shock at the moment. "I'm sorry for scaring you." The man apologized and she nodded, waiting for her heart to start beating normally. Alas, she was disappointed. Her heart still continued racing as though it was on wh
They were startled by her response. " Why are you mute? Weren't you just blabbing a few minutes ago? Then why the sudden delay in speech? I thought you were ready to say anything and everything." Eleanor asked them and they were startled.It was nothing serious, they were just making a joke and some people defended her. "I don't know what you want to achieve but I will teach you all a lesson that you'd never forget in your lives, next time when you hear about me anywhere you'd be afraid." One of the ladies became annoyed at the nonsense that they were doing. "What are you saying? We've not done anything to warrant insults from you at all because I can't recollect us talking about you in a bad light." She replied harshly. "Don't say a word," Her people told her but she was not even in the mood to hear anything that she was about to say.Eleanor was a well respected member of the army but if she continued this way she might soon lose her respect sooner than later. " I don't know what
Selena jumped in front of him when he brought down the sword and it was only the control that he had that made her. escape the hit from that sword. "What the hell are you doing?" The whole city went quiet as they watched their leader thrum with anger. Eleanor's eyes also flew open to see what had happened. She had zeroed her mind so that she wouldn't fear death but she paused when she heard a sneer coming from the General. He would crush her. The promising look in his eyes told her so. He was not here to joke at all ."Get out of my way. I don't want to hurt you." Selena stood her ground, and stared him in the eye. " I won't. You can't expect to kill someone and I would be happy about that. I know she made a mistake but where's the use of pardon? She has been more faithful than other soldiers here. A little fault here and there doesn't make her completely worse." Eleanor began to sob. After all her rude behavior to Selena, she still fought for her. It was as if she had not seen a
Dominic walked out of the trailer, giving Selena a finger sign to stay put. He schools his face, to give a stone-cold appearance.“What do you mean Eleanor is missing?” he calmly asked.The guard trembles before answering “ I don't know how she did it, all we know is she's currently not anywhere inside the holding cell.”Dominic arched his eyebrows as he looked disappointedly at the kneeling guard. “stand up, and face me.” He ordered. “What were you all doing, how did someone who is injured manage to escape, from not one but almost all the guards in the palace?”“I have no idea General” The guard stood up, looking down, too scared to look him in his eyes.“Where are the guards in charge of her, what were they doing when she just so happens to be missing”“General we have no idea, one minute she was there the next moment she suddenly vanished, I don't even know how it happened General.” the guards trembled at the laser-like stare Dominic was shooting his way.“Well if you don't know, w
Dominic arched his eyes in disgust at the taunt.Before they could understand what he had just said, Dominic gave a subtle sign to Eleanor, giving her the go-to shoot.Their sudden shooting confuses the men, he fires at the man that had been holding Selena down.Selena gives a shriek of fright, bending down to protect herself, she rushes towards him but is immediately grabbed by another masked man.Dominic growls at the man, shooting toward his legs.A battle between them ensues, he dodges a bullet as he makes his move to go collect Selena.“Block me, I am moving forward” he urged Eleanor, a committal hum from her assures him that she's still alive.A few minutes later he brings down two more masked men, a grunt behind him lets him know that Eleanor has taken a hit.“Retreat! Take the girl and retreat.” One of the masked men shouts as he fires a few more rounds towards Dominic.Selena struggles to free herself from the man holding her. “Let me go, get your hands off me…” a harsh hit t
Chapter 106Selena looked down at the body on the ground she couldn't believe a moment ago, she had been held at gunpoint by this man.She looked down for a while, shocked at the turn of events, she wrung her arms, while she peeked at Dominic's cold face.He went quiet for a while as he watched her fidget, and doubt herself, he broke the silence.“Are you okay Selena, that must have shocked you. You look almost ready to faint” He said moving towards her.She looked at his face to find his lips bent in a crooked smile, she took two steps before she rushed over to hug him, her body shook all over.“Oh Dominic that was so scary, I thought that was going to be my last time on earth.” She sobbed.“There, don't be so dramatic.” he patted her dryly, dragging her closer to his body, he pushed her away and placed his lips on her head.Selena gave him a swat on his solid chest, her lips pouted like she was ready to cry any minute, from now.“I can't believe you, why would you shoot him so close
Silas is seen in his office staring outside his window at the gloomy weather when a call came through to his phone.He looked at his screensaver and saw that it was one of his informants.“Hello…” he said in his deep husky voice to the person at the other end of the line.“Hello sir…” his Intel replied in an up-spirited voice, “I have some good news that's sure to please you, sir.”“Oh really?” He replied in hopes that whatever it was would certainly turn his bitter mood around.“Dominic…” his Intel said in almost a whisper. “He's being imprisoned right this moment as we speak.” A crippled smile made its way to Sila's face as he laughed in wonder.This really was delightful news indeed.“You don't say?” Silas chuckled lowly over the call and his Intel was glad he was well pleased. “What has he done this time?” Silas asked more perplexed than ever.“Haven't you seen the news circulating sir?” His Intel mentioned and he indefinitely searched his phone and saw that what he was saying
Selena followed her mother into her room and Rose looked at her with an apologetic face.Selena couldn't understand why she was looking at her that way and wonders why she was acting so off today.“I wanted to apologize to you Selena.” She said and Selena looked at her with surprise written all over her face.This was more than new, her mother wanted to apologize to her? “I wanted you to know that I truly am sorry for everything, everything I've done to hurt you in the past.” She continued as her eyes grew damp. “I know I haven't been the best mother ever to you, but I do hope you can find somewhere in your heart to forgive me for my follies.”Selena sincerely wanted to pinch herself to make sure this wasn't some kind of dream.Was her mother actually being sincere with this sudden apology?“The fact I've always compared you and Camara promoting her bad behaviors really wasn't fair, and I'm sorry for realizing it so late.” She said and her tone sounded sincere.Selena's heart was ab
