After the doctors had done a few more tests on Selene, she was later on discharged. I decided to stop going for work during this period but instead work at home so that I can properly monitor. Mrs. Smith decided to move in with us during this period as I thought it would be good for her to have a familiar face like her to overcome this equally traumatic experience.
Lots of people have been speculating on what happened with the Thompson siblings as news of the incarceration spread. As well as the news of them moving to America to live with relatives there.
Things between Selene and i got really quiet, we came to a semblance of a routine to spend time together and for me to get to know her.
I smile as I watch her mess with the little kitten we adopted or rather the cat adopted us.
We had found her under the car on our way out of the hospital and since the two have been inseparable.
~♤~
Things have been really quiet. I love the peace we have been experiencing since the incident.
Alex spends more time home. He has been so kind and attentive. I wish things could stay like this forever.
I decided to name the kitten Yue, it felt like the perfect name. She is black with little white patches that make me think of the night sky.
Mrs. Smith left just the previous day and I miss her already. I enjoyed having her around and I'm so grateful for Alex letting her stay with us.
As much as we have been spending much more time together, I am happy but he stopped sleeping in our room. I don't know whether I did something.
Maybe he doesn't want me. Who could want me? I'm the one who went ahead and got myself kidnapped in turn ruining his family's relationship with the Thompsons. Maybe he's regretting choosing me and would have preferred Emma.
After all she's perfect, well except how psycho she is, she is beautiful, hot, anything any man would want. Her family is a bit on par with the Black's and I'm just an Orphan nobody who only got in this position because the woman who kindly took me in is bestfriends with his Grandma, if it weren't for this I wouldn't even be a contender.
The more I think about it, the more it hurts.
"Hey, what's wrong?" I hear a voice say, I turn to find a shirtless Alex. My eyes naturally gravitate towards the V and I can't help but feel sad he is in sweats, the plus side though is that their grey.
My cheeks turn pink as I can't help but remember this very image being described in the little novels at Mrs. Smiths.
I look away but he smirks as he had already caught my straying eyes. My whole turns red and I run out of the living room and look myself up in my room. I hear a deep and sexy baritone laugh as I run and I can't help but think how this is the first time I've truly heard him laugh.
I smile as I realize I've made him laugh, it may have been at my own expense but I'm okay with it.
I decided to spend the rest of the evening hidden away in my room. I got the book on my bedside table. Grandma had bought it for me and I was yet to finish it when I decided to get serious and enter the story.
Just as I get myself lost in the pages I hear a knock at the door.
"Who is it?" I ask
"It's me." Alex states.
" Go away!" I yell.
i bury my face in the pillows as I him start laughing. He opens the door and entered. I briefly look up from the pillows to find his cute dimpled face and the mischievous gleam in his eyes.
I bury my face again and this seems to set him off even more.
"I didn't say you should enter." I grumble.
"I don't know why you're mad at me. I never told you to look." he cheekily says.
I grab the pillow I'm hiding on and throw it at his stupid face. He easily catches it with one hand making it seem like it was the easiest thing on earth whilst I put my whole soul into that throw. He continues laughing.
I watch as he grabs the packages he came with and settles them on the bed.
"What's all this?" I ask as I get up. I find some really cute sparkly blue heels, gold jewelry, a pendant and little bracelet. Also a beautiful Royal Blue dress. It has a sexy slit to the side and open back.
I look up to him and he says,"Dress up. We're going on a date."
~♤~
I watch as she comes down the stairs all majestic and elegant. I knew she would amazing in what I chose but I didn't account for how much it would take my breath away.
It's moments like this when I can't help but wonder why I ever thought for a moment being married to her would be hell. Being not married to her would have been hell.
She smiles at me shyly. I find everything she does cute, beautiful, perfect.
She finally reaches the landing, I pull her into my arms and breathe in her sweet scent from her neck whilst whispering the word beautiful after every kiss from her should blade to her ear.
This is gonna be a night to remember.

We arrived at the restaurant, I booked the Platinum private garden of the Golden Pavillion. An establishment owned by my family. A live band came to play some songs mostly piano and violin just to set the mood. I had the best chef come in and make us a masterpiece. I know Selene loves a good wine so I made sure to go all out.
We had fun. I had the most fun I have ever had in my life. I've tasted this chefs cooking, I can attest it's amazing but today it was on another level.
Maybe it's because of the company. Being with Selene was an experience from her excitement when the artists played a song she knew to the little noises she made because of how much she liked the food.
I never wanted the night to end so that's why when we had finished eating instead of going back home I suggested we took a little walk.
We spent the whole time laughing and smiling. Enjoying eachothers company. We somehow found ourselves by the park. Selene decided she wanted to star gaze so we both lay on the dewy grass and just looked at the stars and moon.
We talked about everything and nothing before we decided to leave.
On our way we meet Brian.
"Hey man." he said as we clapped hands. He then looked at Selene and asked," Who's this fine lady?" I displeasedly looked at him and officially introduced Selene.
His eyes opened in realization and his tone turned from play boy extraordinaire to respectful.
We said our goodbyes to him. I noticed the weather had gotten a little too cold for my little kitten as she started making little cute sneezes.
I called the driver and had him take us back home.
~♤~
Just as I dropped off Selene at her bedroom door we stood there in silence, neither one of us knowing what to say to the other nor wanting to leave.
She started her little habit of biting her bottom lip. I pulled her close to me and kissed her.
This shocked us both but neither one of us was willing to let the other go.
Just as things were getting intense we heard a faint apology and someone scurrying away.
We then realized where we were and how a maid must have found us and run away.
I let Selene go, said good night and before I was tempted to go with her in her room to finish what we started i left to go to my office and deal with the piles of paper I needed to go through.
Hopefully they will be a strong enough distraction.
~♤~
"Oh my God!!" I squeal into my pillow. I finally turn to lie on my back and think of how the night went.
The more I thought of it, the more I blushed.
I couldn't help but feel bad for Lucy, she must have been the one to find us like that.
The only maid I trusted in this house. When I first moved they mostly mistreated me saying I wasn't worthy of being the family matriarch or even mistress of the house. I understood them, it hurt but I did. Things changed when Alex started paying more attention to me.
I'm glad. He saved me from loneliness.

"Did you see? They went on a date." a voice said.
"Of course I saw it , I was with you." another responded.
"They looked so cute and in love." one bubbly said.
"Well it's a good thing. We can finally go into phase 2." A woman said with a sinister smile.
Violet Black looked at the people with her glad that her plans are finally in motion. She grabbed her phone and made a phone call.
"Hello Wilson, yes.. how's lunch tomorrow?... great. Though is she in? .....Splendid."
