Chapter 22 - Chapter 22: Unknown Attraction

Amelia felt embarrassed and angry by Kelvin's words and actions. Hiding her emotions beneath a smile, she replied, ''Okay," and left his office.

Back at Kelvin's mansion, Selena has been shown her room and was in another form of bewilderment. " How can Kelvin live all alone in this house? Doesn't he get bored or scared?" She said to herself but scoffed at the last word.

"Scared? He's scary so what would he be scared of? Probably nothing." Selena shrugged the thoughts off her mind as she lay on the bed. It was soft and comfortable, wide enough for four people. Spreading her arms wide open, she enjoyed the texture of the bed.

As she breathed in, a sharp image of a blood bath appeared in her mind and she felt her head ache "What was that? What is going on with me?" She said as fear gripped her heart. She immediately sat up on the bed and squeezed herself.

"Why am I seeing strange things." A whisper escaped her lips. 

Just after some few minutes, she saw another image in her head but this time it was her parent's house, in their living room precisely. She saw her parent's lifeless bodies laying on the floor both covered in blood and she started screaming.

Robert entered her room immediately he heard her scream. He can't let anything go wrong if not it would be bad for him when Kelvin arrives.

"Miss, are you alright?" Robert asked with concern. 

"No, make it stop. Please I don't want to see them anymore." Selena said in distress shivering in fear. 

Robert was confused at what she was saying and what was going on. He didn't understand what she was saying and why she was behaving in such manner.

Rushing to where the house telephone is, he called Jorge. "Hello Mr Graham." He said immediately the call went through.

"What is it Robert?" Jorge asked calmly and the next words he heard from Robert made him freeze.

Jorge had already gotten to the office and was with Kelvin, giving Kelvin the necessary details of what happened when he picked up Selena. Just as they were talking, his phone rang and he picked it. After hearing Robert's message, he fell speechless.

"What is it?" Kelvin asked when he saw Jorge's frozen body. Collecting the phone from Jorge, he spoke. "Robert, what happened?" 

"Oh God, why is boss there? How am I going to tell him what I just told Mr Graham? I'm definitely going to be in trouble." He quivered.

"Robert?" Kelvin yelled through the phone.

"Sir..," Robert felt his throat dry. "It's miss Selena

"What happened to her?" Kelvin asked. He didn't even wait for Robert to say anything else before blasting again "Whatever is happening, keep it under control till I come." He said keeping Jorge phone on his desk and stormed out of his office.

Getting to where he parked his car, he entered and drove off heading to his house. Increasing his car acceleration, he unbuttoned the first three buttons of his shirt from the top. His calm ambience was no where to be found and beads of sweat started forming on his face even with the turned on AC.

Right now the only thing that mattered to him was Selena's safety and he just couldn't imagine her getting hurt. Increasing the speed more, he arrived at his house and parking his car, threw his keys to Andrew before running inside like a mad dog.

Anyone who saw him now would not believe that he's the well known aloof CEO and even his workers were surprised to see him running. "Robert!" He called as he started running on the stairs.

"Boss." Robert bowed down respectfully. "I'm sorry I couldn't control it. I didn't know what to do." He said waiting for Kelvin's wrath but instead, Kelvin passed him and pushed open Selena's door.

He saw Selena's still body squirming on the bed, her hands trembling and her face pale. Moving closer to her, he called her name gently. "Selena." 

Getting no response or reaction from her, he sat down beside her and touched her face with his hands. Selena feeling his touch, turned her head slowly to him and their eyes locked together.

"What happened?" Kelvin asked

"Please make it stop. I don't want to see them anymore." She said in almost a breathless voice.

Kelvin hearing what she said already understood what happened. Selena was really like his mother, she could see visions about the future but the only difference was that his mother knew about her powers and learned to control it.

But right now, Selena wasn't even aware of her father's real identity, her true self or her powers so how can she control something she isn't even aware of.

Kelvin knew it would be better if she knew who she was but, how would she react if he told her now? Would it affect her positively or the other way. He sighed, "It's better she doesn't know for now. I'll take things slowly." He reasoned.

"Selena, just take a deep breath in and out and try to relax." He said, his face creased in concern and he wasn't even aware how much he was worried for her.

"Please kelvin, make it stop. They can't die. My parents can't die." Kelvin heard what she said and he blinked in surprise. He couldn't say any word, either comforting or not. No words were able to form in his mouth.

"Why Is there blood everywhere?" She said and tears started rolling down her cheeks.

Kelvin felt a sharp pain struck his chest like a knife as he couldn't bear the sight of her crying but why. Why is it affecting him this much? What is she doing to him?

"Calm down Kelvin, you're only protecting her because of her father so she's your responsibility. She shouldn't cry." He told himself trying to cover the strange feeling he was having inside him and yet he doesn't understand why.

No matter how much he tried to understand the feeling, he just couldn't as Selena's intoxicating scent flooded his nose. His mind was running in turmoil and he cleaned her tears with his palm.

Selena still continued sobbing, this time, uncontrollably and it felt like each drop of her tears sucked away a bit of his soul. Her always smooth and wet lips has turned dry and pale.

Kelvin's eyes fell on her lips and with an imaginary force that he couldn't resist, he leaned closer to her and captured her lips in his. Selena's entire body froze, her mind went numb as she felt Kelvin's lips on hers.
