Selena's eyes never left her prey, the man who made her the devil she grew to be. As she walked up to him, her legs wobbled, but she managed to hold herself. She wasn't going to trip on the day she had long awaited for, the day she finally gets to pay him back in his own coins but with a different currency.

"I can't back out now, there's no turning back." She muttered as she tried putting up the best smile she had, despite the fact that his face wasn't welcoming.

She finally got to where he was and with his eyes, he motioned her to get closer, which she did and desperately held the urge to stab him.

"Selena Vittorio," the priest's voice interrupted.

" Do you take Vance Berlusconi as your lawfully wedded husband? In sickness and in health, in wealth..... "

"Yes I do." She cut him off.

She could feel everyone's peering gaze on her, but she didn't give a damn. Of course, she would accept him as her husband. If not, she was going to ruin what she had been planning for the past seven years.

Vance noticed her rush but ignored it. What was she to make him curious? HE, that even the dead would shiver at the sound of his voice.

With how hot he was, he wasn't surprised that she wanted to rush the process. They stared at each other, and the silence from the priest was like he was giving them time to access themselves.

Do you Vance Berlusconi, take Selena Vittorio as your lawfully... "

I do. " He interrupted and didn't fail to notice the smile of satisfaction that was widespread on Selena's lips.

You may now kiss the bride. " The priest said with a sigh.

He was already tired of their drama. First, was that Selena was not supposed to be his wife, but because of the failure of the acting wife not being on the occasion, she came just at the right time to fill in.

Selena moved closer, her heart beating loudly with the smirk that Vance wore. The exact smirk he had on when he murdered her family due to jealousy and the same smirk he had when he sold her off as a slave.

He moved closer and as she was about to move too to make it happen, he placed his thumb on her lips and kissed his thumb instead.

Hello wife?" Vance whispered mockingly before moving away.

Everyone saw what he did. He didn't kiss her, but no one said a thing, because, for Vance, his actions spoke more than his words.

They moved back to their previous position and before the smirk on Vance's face would wear off, Selena moved closer and locked lips with him, leaving everyone shocked when she pulled away.

"Yes, that's the look. The look I want, the look of surprise, the look of interest." She thought, congratulating herself for taking such a bold step.

Vance wiped his lips with the back of his palm and glared at her before walking away. Meanwhile, the priest just stood there and the rest of the crowd were gawking at them.

While at the entrance of the hall where he made his leave, he whispered something to a skinny man clad in black.

"Get me all informations concerning her."

Selena stood there, hiding the joy she felt within her, pretending to be surprised and remorseful. She knew Vance's plan was just to use her for the public to see and then throw her away, but she had a different. And if she wanted to achieve that plan, she needed to stick by him, not as a pushover but as his wife, which was what she was aiming for.

" The wedding has ended. You can all go now. " The man shouted. From how skinny he was, she could tell that he was Vance's secretary and, with fragments of her memory, he could remember that she had seen him that night her parents died.

She adjusted her look the moment their eyes met to a more innocent look and gave him the benefit of thinking he was above her.

He walked to her gracefully with a smile plastered on his lips, but with the memories of her family death playing vividly in her head, she knew better not to be deceived.

Mrs Selena Berlusconi." He said, shaking hands with her. With his voice, Selena could tell that he was trying to mock her.

That was a bold move, Mrs Selena Ber...."

Just call me Selena, there is no need for formalities." She said, maintaining a straight face.

The name Berlusconi reminded her of a lot, their family name, the name she buried for seven years because Vance told her to. How can an uncle be that ruthless?

And yes, he was getting married to her uncle and no one was going to stop her because all she craved was vengeance.

Okay, Selena." He paused trying to discern her reaction, but she only nodded and told him to continue.

I hope you know quite well that this marriage isn't supposed to be. No, pardon my words. It's not that it's not supposed to be, it's just that you were not the one we hired, so I suggest that you take things a little bit slowly because I don't think Mr Vance wants to be committed to anyone, the wedding was just for the sake of everyone disturbing him to get married and..."

I understand Mr...."

"Steve," He completed, wondering how she became so bold, he had seen her crying and now she was acting like the world was under her feet.

I understand, Mr Steve. It's just that I didn't know what came over me, Mr Vance is just too hard for me to resist." She said, letting out a small chuckle and praying inwardly that she didn't blow her cover.

I know, it's just that everything seemed weird and planned by you."

Selena gulped hard at his words, no matter what she wasn't going to let her cover her blow when she hadn't even started her mission yet.

It's not what you think, Mr Steve, I told you that my..."

The sound of Steve's phone ringing interrupted her and she could see that his expression became stern as he dropped the call.

Have they figured it out already???"
