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
Selena was standing close by the window where Silas and Camara were sitting as she overhears their conversation and gets pissed.She then heads to the kitchen to grab the bags of trash then drags them outside planning to throw them away.At this point, Silas had already gone away and Selena wondered if he had walked off from her under this rain.She found her sister sitting alone on the arm rest looking absentmindedly at the rainfall and Selena's heart went out to her.She came over and tapped lightly on her shoulder and Camara turned to her with a burdened face and wondered what she wanted.“Come back inside, I want to talk to you.” Selena said and Camara rolled her eyes at her turning back to look vaguely at the wet street outside.Selena then taps her again and Camara flashed an annoyed look at her.“I'm serious, I want to have a genuine conversation with you. Just come in.” She said holding the door open for her, Camara was a bit hesitant before she finally stood and went into the
The next day, Camara wakes up and decides to call her fiance but he does not pick up on the first ring.Camara then gets a bit perplexed wondering why he didn't pick then rings him up a couple of times still to no answer.She then becomes worried and wonders if something had happened.The worry that clouded her mind did not allow her to go through her daily activities properly and decided to go to his office.On arriving there, she made way to the entrance but the security guards cited there stopped her.“You're not welcomed in miss…” One tells her and Camara is left flabbergasted, what did he mean by that? “What do you mean by 'I'm not welcomed in?’ I am here to see Silas and you stop me?” She said as her blood was boiling up in anger, she was already worried about him and needed no more drama.“We're not joking either, miss, you are not allowed in.” The other security then mentioned walking up to her.“What kind of nonsense is that?’ she screamed out trying Sila's line again to no
Selena goes back to work the next day, she recollects how Camara had insinuated that Dominic had dumped, she frowned at the thought of what happened next when she had shut her down the screaming match, loudly turned into a screaming match. She couldn't possibly stay in the house any more so she apologized to her mother and grandma and decided to go back home.She walked through the doors of her office and was shocked at the level of screams she got. Lily rushed up to her excitedly and hugged her.“Oh thank heavens you finally decided to come back, I missed you so much” she held Selena's hands. Selena returned the hug, squinting her eyes.“I am glad to be back too, how's everything going?” She looked round at the pack of excited workers, she raised the bags she brought “ I brought enough goodies for every body.”The excited shriek warms her heart, she notices Todd and Emily shuffle behind the group. She moved her brows in a wagging motion “ what's going on between you too,” why are yo
Lily and every other person In the office looked at her as if she had two heads when she screamed at Lily. Lily's innocent look annoyed her even more, she couldn't believe that of all the people she had suspected of the betrayal,it was Lily who she had taken as a friend that had played her over.“I want you to pack your things and leave this establishment at this very moment.”The whole office goes quiet as they listen to their boss scream at Lily In anger .Lily immediately jumps up from her seat, and stretches her hands to hold Selena in her familiar way.“What's wrong, Selena. What is going on? What did I do?”Selena slaps her hand away looking even more angry.“Don't touch me. I'll repeat myself one more time, pack your things and leave. Your services are no longer needed in this office. Am I clear?”Lily began to apologize, she had an inkling of what Selena might be referring to, but she had to keep her cool and pretend she didn't. She held onto Selena's gaze and forced a few tea
