"Rose, please. You shouldn't be doing this at all. I mean, these people are getting married. If everything had gone according to plan would you have stopped them or forced them to get divorced? You know that your daughter won't accept that." Rose glared at her mother and turned to the culprit who had made her family go through a lot in the space of a few days and months. She would rather pass than have anything to do with him. " You disgust me, Dominic. What plans do you have for my family, throwing us into chaos? Is that what this is about for you?" She challenged him.Dominic only folded his muscular arms and watched her rant. This caused Rose to get more angry and fling hurtful words at him that made even Grandma blush. She wouldn't utter those words even as much as she hated the lad. "You're just being impossible. This man has not offended you in any way. Why don't you take some time off and allow them to find their footing? You wanted Selena to get married, and now that it's ab
"Camara is finally discharged." The doctor stated when he walked into the office the next day and Rose sighed happily. Finally, her daughter could have her life back from the people who decided that they didn't want her alive anymore. "Oh, my goodness. I'm so happy." Selena muttered while Dominic rubbed her shoulders as they watched in silence. A few people might find it hard to feel sympathy but Dominic actually did. He knew that Camara wasn't supposed to bear the brunt of the stupid Silas but the damage had already been done.Camara didn't glare at him as he had expected, instead she was just sobbing. Staying in a coma for the longest time and awakening to the real world could mess with people's minds no matter how strong they paraded themselves to be. It was just tiring. " How many days or years have I been out?" "Close to a month." Camara sighed in relief that it wasn't more than that, what would she have done? It would have been too hectic for her to cope with and she would al
The next week Selena resumed work and she was waiting for what she could do to make sure that everything was at least done properly. She greeted the receptionist who was also elated after finding out that she was the boss's bride. " Good morning, ma'am. I hope you didn't have a stressful leave." "Leave?" She repeated and stared at her in surprise but quickly masked it with aloofness. "Oh, that? I am sure that everyone can testify to a good life after having a great leave." She replied and quickly signed in before walking to her office.There were few chatters when she passed the wide office but she didn't care about them. It must surely revolve around the fact that she was probably promoted above they would have been there since the inception of the place yet it wasn't any of her business."Oh, Miss Selena. I was thinking about you... Oh, how did that sound? Margie joked as she poked her head into the office she was sitting in."Tell me about it." Selena also replied playfully and th
"You didn't tell me you were going to attend." Selena's eyes widened when she saw Dominic saunter in. He knew how to get the people talking. One of the people who was very pissed by his arrival was Silas. He was busy glaring at the couple as they huddled in the corner. it wasn't a hidden fact that he was jealous of the way Dominic was taking care of her as though she was an egg. As if that was not enough too, Diana also stood huddled by a rich man watching the way Dominic paid attention to Selena and the way she was basking in the euphoria. This should have been her. This woman came from nowhere and began to eat the fruits of everything that she had worked for and it annoyed her to her bones. She had a reason to deal with her because it meant that there was something that she was not telling them. Had Selena known that he was this rich and was only acting nice to him to become his wife? Diana wondered.She was very pissed at him because this wasn't what she wanted for herself. Yet,
Their staring match between both couples ended when they heard Dominic's name being called from the platform and they stopped whatever they were doing to check him out.Selena beamed proudly as she stared at him softly as he walked up to the stage. "That's my man right there, I don't have time to continue this unprofitable discussion." She said smugly and walked away from them to the stage. She had to listen to her fiance speak.Dominic's eyes were on Selena all the time as he gave his speech even about global warming and how they were supposed to conduct themselves in the environment. He had everyone enraptured and Selena clapped proudly after he was done."I don't know what he was saying that makes people act like they've never heard the words before." Silas muttered to his wife. He was tired of people acting like he was a god when he was just an ordinary CEO like everyone else. He was on the top of the ladder."Why don't you concentrate on getting the right connections you need in
Dominic and Selena headed home with squeals coming from Selena as she opened a box and saw that a gold necklace was sitting there lying waiting for her. She was very skeptical about it and she stared at Dominic. "Thank you so much but why did you give me this?" She inquired. He had made sure that she didn't lack anything, this made her very happy."It's nothing really, I just want you to have them. I know that you love gold. Am I wrong?" He asked with a small smile.Selena shook her head while holding up the necklace. She had forgotten to invite Emily and Todd to the party but made a mental note to invite them next time. "No, you're not and I'm grateful but it makes me feel a bit sad that I can't afford such luxury for you. I feel as if sometimes I should buy the whole world for you but knowing you, you would rather wear a simple tee and a pair of jeans and go about your business."Dominic adjusted his glasses as the driver turned towards the intersection and smiled at her. It was a
Dominic quickly looked through the side mirror and discovered that he probably had some enemies behind him whose energies were quite crazy to behold and he would try as much as possible to be able to get over a situation like this. From now henceforth it was only the first time that he was going to be able to go out of the house without protection."Who is after us again?" Selena panicked and he shrugged softly. It wasn't the first thing that they would be under attack, but one would think that she would have become used to it not knowing that she didn't even know what she was doing." I am scared." "As you should, darling. Unfortunately, the car is bullet proof so they might have to do a lot of shooting before they finally crack a chip. He wound down a little and Selena felt her heart fly out of her heart at the action.She would rather have someone else checkin out the culprits than her beloved husband but the man didn't see any need to be careful, infact, he was feeling fly as he
The glass shattered as they ducked to avoid the shards of glass that scattered all over around them. She had come to a point where she was no longer scared about how to deal with stuff like this without having to worry about anything. There was little to nothing that she could do to be able to escape the things that were happening."What else should I do?" She asked and he just placed a finger on her lips. She was not going to do anything except lay low but she was only afraid that she was taking too much time. She was without a weapon and wouldn't be the best thing to do. What if the people walked in? Dominic would surely find his way to make sure that he's free from the issues but she would be defenseless. Dominic would surely protect her but she didn't want to be a burden to him. The time he would use in getting rid of the opponents he would spend double trying to get her to safety. "I'll handle it." He said and she nodded softly as he crawled to the back of the shelf, opened the
