Even after assuring the MD of her competence in the Job, Selena felt like an additional bag of pressure had been placed on her. Her conversation with the MD couldn't help but bug her mind no matter how many times she tells herself she is trying her best. She couldn't help but think they are just saying all this but if they hate it. Selena was very deep in thought, when she pushed open the door to her office. Everything was in place just as she had left it except for the man taking her seat behind the desk eating her food. She raised an eyebrow, all her worries momentarily forgotten as she smiled in amusement. He still has not noticed her presence as his focus was on a file on the table, which he was flipping through. His hair was styled backwards with the help of a gel. He was wearing a white long sleeve shirt, not doing much to hide the muscles rippling underneath and it flexed as he flips through the file, and a deep blue tie. His long lashes fanned his cheek anytime he blinked. H
Dominic decided to hold a party. He had a meeting with his bodyguards on how the party was supposed to be like.“Anyone who passes through that door and is successfully marked by the sensor would be allowed entry into the house. Anything asides that, they must receive a formal permission from me before they are granted entry inside. Am I understood?”“Yes boss.” The bodyguards all chorused in unison.There were just a few hours left until the party time. They started assembling themselves in strategic spots where the censors were located.As soon as the party kicked off, Selena approached the grand hall. She looked ravishingly beautiful in her dress, hair beautifully made and parked into a ponytail.The moderator of the party immediately caught sight of Selena approaching the podium.He went up in high praise of her, unable to get his eyes off her.He faced the crowd. “Can we all stand up while we welcome the latest bride into the hall? This lady here is the reason why we are all gat
Marcel crept out of the toilet and walked straight to where Selena was standing. He needed to inform her about what was happening. How did they not know that Tyler was working for Silas? That was still a source of wonderment to him.Selena, distracted, turned and shot him a smile before disengaging from her husband's hold at his persistent stare."Hey, what's the problem? You look worried. Aren't you enjoying the party?" She asked him, her voice turning concerned."Nah, that's not the problem at all. I'm just trying to..." He sighed and quickly looked around. His gaze fell on Silas who was chuckling at what Camara said. "May we have this conversation in private please?" He inquired and she smiled at him before taking one last glance at her husband to see if he knew what was happening."Okay... Let's see what your brother thinks about that. I can't just leave him." Selena replied and walked up to Dominic who was also making small talk with one of the men who were present. He was obvious
“I need to tell you something,” Selena said, rushing to Dominic who paused and turned after hearing her call out to him.“What’s that? You need to hurry. I'm actually in the middle of something but go in. I'm listening.” He said with a smile on his face.Selena paused for a while to catch her breath before she started talking to an attentive Dominic. “You won’t believe what I heard, you just won’t believe it just the way I didn’t believe it at first when I heard it.” Selena started.Dominic was now more Interested in the topic because he wondered what it could be that Selena heard that got her this worried and annoyed. “Go on Selena, I’m listening.”“Marcel told me that Tyler was sent by Silas to spy on us, can you imagine the audacity ?”Dominic arched an eyebrow at her in doubt or uncertainty.“I’m serious and I believe it. What should we do?”“Do? We are not going to do anything, if you act based on meaningless and irrelevant things you won’t know how to act when it’s time to.” Do
Surprisingly Marcel only retorted but he didn’t retaliate even as Dominic continuously sent blows to his face. “Please stop this Dominic, what impression will you be giving the guests we have here, just let it go,” Selena yelled and pleaded but still Dominic didn’t listen.He stopped only when he was comfortable and not because of Selena’s pleas.“What’s wrong with you Dominic? Why would you do something like that? He is your brother for crying out loud and why do you hate him so much?” Selena made sure she yelled if not Dominic didn't pay any attention to her.He was very annoyed as his eyes were ice cold. “He is not my brother and he has lost all the privilege to that name a long time ago. “Dominic spat out.“Then why won’t you tell me how? What did he do that made you hate him this much that you can’t let go all this while?”“He knows what he did and you better leave now because I don’t want you around me anymore. Don’t make me do something we are both going to regret.”; Dominic
"You're the best husband in the whole world," she smiled. "Hold your horses, angel. We're not husband and wife just yet. We're just engaged," he said with a grin and Selena bit her lip, a little disappointed."Oh, okay," she nodded. "When are we going to have the party?" She needed to know."I was thinking of having a court wedding first," Dominic started. "And then we'll have the celebration later, because I have some things to take care of," he said. Selena frowned a little and he rushed to appease her. "I need to take care of all my threats. I don't plan to put you at risk. You are too important," he said and she blushed crimson again."Damn, the perks of marrying a military officer," she sighed sarcastically. Dominic smirked. "Would you have it any other way?" He asked."No," she shook her head. "I wouldn't."Selena and Dominic set out to Selena's family house in their simple but sophisticated outfits. Selena wore a sleek and elegant black dinner dress, the fabric draped gracefu
"Are you sure?" Dominic confirmed, trying to make sense of what the strange caller told him."Yes, I am, boss. We..." The man continued when a loud blast was heard in the background and immediately, the call was disconnected. Dominic froze where he stood. Unable to move or speak, he just heard his mine get destroyed by a bomb blast."What's going on?" Selena asked in fearAnd Dominic explained everything to her, she stared at him with fear in her eyes as the image of their previously broken house appeared in her mind."You need to stay back, I will be fine. It's not something I want you to see, let me handle this." Dominic objected to her offer and after some seconds of back and forth, she agreed to stay back.He picked up his tuxedo from the sofa and walked briskly to his car. He drove to the mine to meet it in ashes. He questioned the foremen who were there how a bomb was planted right before their eyes when his phone rang and his brother informed him that he was able to track the
"Silas has just two options, pay every dime I used in building that mine that exploded, or he will spend the rest of his life in jail," Dominic cut her off.Selena understood right away how worse the situation had turned into, and with her fiancé's anger, he wouldn't let Silas go scot-free. She was sure Silas won't be able to pay that amount of money either, even in the next ten years. With the way things have escalated, they would have no choice but to make the wedding preparations be on hold.Camara was sending her text messages even while she was on call, begging her to convince her husband to do something about it. She wouldn't be able to bear Silas's misfortune of blowing up a billionaire's mine to affect her dream wedding.Looking at her sister with sad eyes, she felt moved. "What if you allow him to pay in installments because of their situation? Or can anything else be done?" She asked with a low voice. As expected, Dominic hung up on her in anger.Dominic walked over to the pl
