CHAPTER 37
Selene heart clenched at the thought of him being her stalker. Who sent this pictures to her? Was he the only one stalking her? Does he know she’s a killer?? Her heart dropped at the thought and she struggled to keep calm.
“Are you alright?, you look like you’ve seen a ghost.” Wayne concerned voice jolts her from her reverie and she blinks rapidly. He reaches for her arm and stared down at her. Hell what’s wrong why does she look so pale.
Her heart thumped rapidly- fearfully. She stepped back that instant, heart in her mouth.
“Uh- I’m fine w-ayne, I just need to make use of the restroom.” She dashed into the office before she could register his expression, and got into the ensuite bathroom, slamming the door shut. Gwen frowned as she rushed into the ensuite before shrugging and resuming what she was doing.
Selene walked shakily to the washbowl and turned on the faucet. Her heart wouldn’t stop racing. She splashed cold water on her face, not minding if she had her make-up on. She grabbed her phone and stared at the pictures again. No!. it can’t be!, the man she’s falling for wouldn’t do such.
She remembered her last victim. She remembered the night this picture was taken. She had not planned on being brutal but he had tried to act smart. She had shot the guy thrice and though he was almost dying he had grasped her arms In a bid to hurt her and she had butted the gun continuously on his face. That was what made her hands bloody..
She didn’t have the patience to wash the blood off and had returned to her car that way. She was too weak too notice her surroundings. killing her victims has a way of draining her strength. She never knew that her secretary had been trailing her and taking– pictures.
Tears burned her eyes and she sniffled. Was that the reason he agreed to work for her?. So he could find out who she really is?. She sucked in her breath and swiped at her phone. There’s only one way to confirm if he’s truly been stalking her. She has to text whoever sent this pictures. Sniffing, she run her fingers down her hair before texting.
HI. DO YOU MIND TELLING ME WHO YOU ARE?
She sent the message and shoved the phone into her clutch. She suddenly didn’t feel like going on a date with him. But she couldn’t bear to tell him so. He might just pester her with questions and she didn’t want that.
Selene touched up her makeup before striding out of the office to meet him. He was still waiting. He roam his eyes all over her.
“You good now?” He held her by the hand and watch her. She smiles and nod. Wayne sighs, pressing a kiss to her forehead.
“You had me worried, c’mon we would be late for dinner” He wraps his arm around her and she leaned into him, Selene bite down at her lips, inhaling his manly scent and blinking back what seemed like tears.
What if he’s pretending to be attracted to her?. She doesn’t understand why Wayne would do that to her. From thee way he looked at her, the way he touched her had triggered feelings that she thought she had buried long ago and he doesn’t look like he’s faking it. They stepped into the elevator and began to ride down.
“Why are you this sexy Selene?” Wayne says huskily as he lets go of her, raking his hand at his hair and looking her down. Selene gulped and she curl her toes, warm thrills shooting through her entire system. He has a way with words- hell, he does.
“I guess I was just lucky Wayne” She says giving him a watery smile. She saw his eyes flare up with passion and that seems to send shivers down her spine. Wayne raises his hand to touch her hair and sighed at the softness. He stared at her amber colored orbs and sensuous lips and the dinner didn’t matter anymore all he wants is to take this clothes off her.
The door slides open before and he sighs and steps back. Selene hands are clammy as she stepped out of the elevator. They were almost close to the car when she spotted a figure across the street. He was staring at her. She stopped to stare at him but he disappeared into a mart store that moment. She got into the car and frowned. She recognized him. It was Bill, but what was he doing here?. She sighed and relaxed into the seat as he drives out.
Right now she’s gonna forget about the pictures she saw and the fact that she saw Bill. The night was beautiful and she couldn’t afford to ruin it.
Leaning forward she tuned the stereo until her favourite song was blasting out. She caught Wayne rolling his eyes at her choice of song and she chuckled before leaning back into her seat.
Stacey slammed the door to her car shut with a smile plastered on her face. She chuckles before walking into the apartment.
“Damn!… I feel so good right now!” She says with a grin. Her eyes stops on Zoey on the couch.
“Stace… where have you been to this time!” She breathe out. Stacey groans inaudibly. Such a snoop!.
“I went for a dinner date Zoey” She says listlessly, walking towards the flight of stairs.
“Are you sure that’s what you’ve been doing lately, dinner dates?” Zoey tried not to make her tone suspicious. She stop and whips her head to her direction.
“What do you mean by that Zoey?” She dilates her eyes and Zoey shrugs.
“Nothing Stace… I’m just asking” She gave her a faux smile.
“Then yeah Zoey, that’s what I’ve been up to” She rolled her eyes and began to walk up the stairs to her room. She shut the door close and tossed her bag to the bed. She kicked off her shoes and stripped her bare.
Stacey chortled loudly as she imagined Selene’s shock when she gets the pictures. Selene had texted back immediately but she decided not to check what she sent. She’d let her die in suspense.
She hummed a song as she draped a towel around her body, oblivious to the fact that Zoey was standing outside her door.
Zoey waited till she heard the bathroom door slam shut and the shower running before stealthily walking into her room. She tiptoed to the bed and searched through Stacey’s bag, retrieving her phone immediately. She stared at the bathroom door cautiously, Stacey’s hums drifted to her ears and she nods in satisfaction before swiping at her phone. What the hell is Stacey hiding!?.
Wayne watched selene as she ate. He was conscious of the fact that lots of guys were staring at their table, staring lustfully at Selene. He fisted his palm under the table in anger. Moterfuckers!. was that all they saw in her- lust?. Didn’t they see the fragile Selene, one who looks like she’s going through a lot even If she doesn’t show it?. He sighed and shook his head.
“The food is tasty Wayne, how the hell did you locate this restaurant” Selene muses as she stabbed a fork in her steak. Wayne chuckles.
“All you ever do is work yourself out Selene, you don’t pay attention to stuffs like this” He cocked his brows at her and she chuckles quietly.
“It’s not my fault Wayne… I want Diamond corps to be at the top… and wouldn’t achieve that by being lazy.” She gave him a small smirk.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“You make it seem like you do a lot of work, all you ever do is sit your ass down eat up all of Gwen’s meal” He mused, making her laugh heartily. Even if it was just for a short time, she let herself believe everything was okay. Wayne had a way of making her feel so. Would this have an end?. Wayne could decide to stop working for her afterall he already had the money she used for thier mom’s hospital bills. She blew out and pushed out the thoughts. Not now.

An hour later they were driving home in the convertible. Selene humming to Alan walker’s Faded blasting out from the stereo as Wayne drove wildly.
“Easy man, or we are gonna have the cops tailing our cab soon” She giggle, glaring at him.
“Sure” He groans and steps on the gas.
“Wayne!” She laughs, poking his arm as he increases the speed.
“Relax Selene, this is Miami remember?” He rakes his hand at his hair as he steered the wheels. Wayne watches Selene as she laughs humming and nodding to the music.
She looked happy, and to think that it took only a dinner date for her to be this happy was mesmerizing. He hoped he could make her this way all the time. Her smile as intoxicating and he needs to see that side of her.
He arrived at her mansion earlier than usual and drove in. He killed the engine and tuned down the volume of the radio. Selene arched her brows, she didn’t realise they were home already. She bite down at her lips, hesitant to go in.
“Thanks Wayne… for today” She breathed in as she stared at him. He cupped her cheeks and leaned in, kissing her fully on the lips.
“I guess I needed the break too” He says huskily as he withdraws. Selene looked down her palm, fiddling with it. How she wished he could live in with her just like Bill had.
Wayne gets out and opens her side of the door. He notices her hesistance as she stepped out. Selene sighed, wishing she didn’t have to be so lonely in this huge mansion. He couldn’t leave her just yet and Selene heart fluttered as he took her by the hand and led her into the mansion. He could almost feel the glare from the few guards sprawled out in the compound already.
“Evening ma’am” One of the maids bowed slightly in greeting as she drooled at Wayne. She smiled in greeting, groaning internally at the way she stared at him.
She made her way up to her room as Wayne followed behind. He noticed the mansion was too quiet for comfort.
“You barely seem to have anyone to talk to Selene” Wayne says as they got into the room. She sighed and moved to the bed to sit, kicking off her heels immediately.
“Yeah, I fired Bill remember?” She mutters as she got off the bed and stalked to the closet. Wayne watches her every move.
“I think you should spill out what’s on your mind Selene” He tells her and smirks. She gripped the handle of the closet and shut her eyes. Yeah, he could read her mind clearly. She wanted him to stay for the night, wanted him to feel every inch of his body and she wouldn’t mind asking for it over and over again.
She turned to meet his gaze. Ever so slightly she reached for her strap of her dress and slipped it over her shoulders. She gulped as it falls to the floor. Wayne eyes darkened as he watched her in only her underclothing. He couldn’t get enough of her body.
“I want you Wayne, make me moan your name over and over again” She blink as her heart slammed hard against her chest. It doesn’t matter if he was just her secretary, or she was Selene. Wayne groans as he pulled her close. She draped her hands around him and he lifts her till her legs were wrapped around his torso. Thier desperate lips met in a fierce kiss. Selene melted to his touch as she kissed him back, sighing at the feeling that washed over her. So long as she was with him It doesn’t matter if she was a killer- nothing else matters.
