Chapter 9
That was some hard truth he was hearing. He would be happy if she has some power of her own, maybe she will start to look down upon herself. It was a good deal after all and he was glad that he was seeing her in such a new light.
"If that's the reason then I thank you for choosing her. I am grateful for your consideration," he thanked his father.
"I just want you to be happy. You should visit home more often, your mother misses you," he told him.
"I will visit with Selena some other day, if there is nothing else I will take my leave now. I have some meetings to attend to," he said.
"Sure, I will not keep you. Go and do your business."
Sean bided farewell to the chairman and left his office. He went straight to his office only to find Wendy waiting for him. She was so furious he wanted to take a photo and keep it as a reminder.
"I don't remember having an appointment with you Director Wendy," he said as he entered his office.
"What the heck was that? What are you plotting this time?" she screamed at him.
"How dare you say that? It's good that you came here on your two feet. I want you to stay away from my wife, if I ever see you near her again and talking nonsense again, I promise you that I will strip you of everything you love. You may go after me but don't go to my wife," he wanted her and she just laughed.
"Stop kidding yourself, we both know where your heart is. You are just interested in her because she is all young and fresh but I know you, soon you will be looking elsewhere. She is coming back you know," Wendy said and he felt all his bones weakening.
"Get out!" he yelled at her and she left the office laughing. He really hated her so much; if it was possible he could just strangle her and be done with it.
Why did she remind him of her? He sat back in his chair and thought of the time he was in love. He met her and she was just lovely. He was still a student back then and he fell for her easily.
He accepted her as he was and he was so in love. They dated for four years and he was planning to marry her and start a family with her. After proposing her learnt one hurtful truth, she had been playing him all along.
She was after his money and was planning on being with another man. It was his siblings that brought her into his life. They made his life a circus and watched and enjoyed as he got played. It was hard for him but with time he healed.
When his parents wanted him to marry someone they arranged for him, he flipped. He was going to choose a better devil which was the reason why he found himself a bride of his own.
Even if that devil returns he was going to show her that things have changed. His heart was slowly being occupied by his wife and he was not going to do anything that was harmful to her no matter how tempted he gets.
Vivian was excited to find a friend even when things were a bit complicated. Because of the family she was raised in t was difficult for her to have any friends. They always wanted something from her but meeting Selena was different.
She could tell that she was a saint and even when people were busy badmouthing her that she married the Sawyer group's son for money she could tell that was not the case. She could see it in her eyes, what Selena showed in her eyes was exactly how she looks when she sees him.
Because of the age difference she was always afraid of showing him how much she feels for him but thanks to Selena she was going to muster up her courage and confess even when it means to be rejected. It was better to be rejected than for her to keep silent. It's been too long and it was time for her to get answers.
She smiled at her friend as they both packed their bags and ready to leave for school. The last class had just ended and yet Selena was so eager to go back home. Is this the way she will be acting too if she is in love?
"Why don't we hang out and have dinner together?" Vivian asked Selena.
"Let's do it another time, my husband is supposed to come and pick me up in a few minutes," Selena answered her and she was shocked by her response.
It really felt weird to hear an eighteen-year-old girl talking about a husband. At this age they would be talking about first love or boyfriends but not husbands. No wonder why their fellow classmates find it weird whenever they think that she is married.
"Okay, let's do that another time then," she said seeing that she was not able to change her mind.
"I will see you tomorrow then," Selena said with a smile and rushed out of class.
She really envied her a lot; she wished she had someone to run to after school like this. She carried her bag when this other girls came to her. They were courting trouble, she could sense it.
"Why are you befriending that gold digger?" one of the girls asked and she laughed at them.
"Why are you laughing?"
"You are. I can't believe that such people like you exist. How can you be so obvious? If you failed to be born into a rich family doesn't despise those who got married into them. If you really despise her being that rich now then go and seduce your own and get married.
And for your own information, I would advise you to stay the hell away from me or I will not be lenient with you. If you don't know me then Google my name and you will find out," she made her threats and left the girls' mouths open.
How dare they badmouth her friend? Where was it written that only the rich should date the rich and the poor against poor? She was going to rip off their mouths and feed them to the dogs. How can they just come up to her to threaten her? Didn't they know who she was?
She was the only daughter of a huge conglomerate and yet these small scumbags who relied on their dad's money who didn't own anything dare to say such rubbish?
One way or the other, she was going to put all of them in their place but right now she has to go back home. She was going to plan a strategy to win her man's heart.
She arrived at the car park and put her bag in the boot before getting into the car. She drove her car from the faculty building towards the gate. She was driving by when she saw Selena receiving a warm hug from her husband. How can he be so devoted to the extent of coming to pick up his wife during working hours?
He could have just sent someone else to pick her up and not to come himself. It was really good being Selena, she wanted to be like her and the sooner she goes home the sooner everything gets settled.
