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
Selena heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the thud. She was feeling very relaxed after a long while. "Oh my goodness, I can't believe that I won't be able to live without having to look over my shoulder. It's partly embarrassing and tiring at the same time. All that I can think of is how to get out of this mess without being scared." She said when he pulled her closer to himDominic nodded in response as she complained. He would have also felt the same way if there wasn't a remedy or if he was a female. He was very tired of having to constantly put her in harm's way."I'll take care of it." He said which she had no doubt about but it was better that he actually found a solution instead of promising her things that might not even come to fruition.Selena stroked his hand in reassurance, she was not ready to leave him just because of that reason but he might not know that and she didn't want him to feel bad when it was just the normal circumstances of life. She would rather that he
Dominic headed straight to the office of the bureau and decided to meet his old friends. As much as he had the power to change things around, he still needed to inform them and also get them on the cases so that if there was a problem, they would readily swoop in to save their citizens. He didn't need saving. It was a burden for one to constantly live in fear thinking about the next day and if they would be practically free from this life forever."Are you sure that you don't want permanent security? They would change their shifts from time to time, is that okay with you?" His friend replied and he stared at him for a while.Dominic contemplated which was better, having the time of his life getting out of the hell of that house or just annihilating anyone that posed a threat to their sanity and peace of mind. It might look very easy for his lovely fiance in the beginning but he was thinking long term. How would she cope later on? When there were kids, he surely couldn't stop her from
