False Accusation

POV: Selina
To be sure I was being lured into on of her traps, I went to the information board to see what it going on for myself. I found out it was all true, I found out Simon has been transferred to China and some workers that are working closely with Mrs. Wilson, including her trusted Secretary. were fired for fraud and stealing as well.
My heard skipped a beat when I was told that I couldn’t find out anything about the investigations until the results were out. I wanted to find out what Mrs Wilson had said in her statement to the investigators, bit I was denied access to anything involving our case.
I wonder why she is still here when everyone that is connected to her shady business has either been fired or transferred. Could it be that she sacrificed them for her freedom, will she get away with her frauds again?
My head was spinning so fast, it felt like the whole building is just about to collapse on me. I was walking towards the elevator again, but I could as well be sleep walking because I wasn’t aware of my surroundings. I wasn’t seeing anyone or anything, I was just walking to the elevator that would take me to the last floor, my office that I may or may not lose soon.
The thought of me loosing this job that I’ve always prayed for made me feel so sad that I had to clutch my chest to curb the pain I’m feeling in my heart. My panic attack is about to resurface, I’m just trying hard to control it. As I neared the elevator, I heard someone calling out to me,
“Selina…
Hold it right there you bitch!
Wait right there?” she called out to me, yelling to get my attention. St first, I panicked when I heard my name. I thought it was my attacker or a stalker. I immediately had a flashback of the jean and boots my attacker wore and that made me even more scared.
I was going to increase my pace and run as fast I can. Then I heard my name once more, and the clinking of her hills as she came over. I realized that it’s a lady so I stopped and turned around to see who it was. I found Evelyn walking towards me with venomous anger.
“What are you doing here?” I wanted to ask her. I was so shocked when a hot slap connected to my face, sending me backward. If not for the wall behind me, I would have fallen to the floor and probably hit my head hard.
“What did you do that for?” I asked in anger, aiming to attack her. But she pulled out a gun from her purse and pointed it in my direction, her eyes glaring at me.
“You fucking whore!
I warned you, didn’t I?
I told you to stay away from my man, I warned you to leave Simon alone. Now look at what you have caused us. Our marriage is cancelled and our engagement is broken.
My father does not want to speak with Mrs Wilson until this whole mess is sorted out. Simon has no idea why your lover decided to transfer him to China. How the hell am I supposed to live in China with my husband?” she sobbed.
“Put the gun away, Eve. We can sit down and talk about this. You have to listen to me, Evelyn, you must believe me when I say that I am innocent of all these accusations. I still don’t know what is going on, but I plan to get to the root of this matter and get back to you with results. Just put the gun away and we can talk about it,” I pleaded.
I wish I’d listened to Amara when she asked to stay back home and rest. I feel exhausted, it felt like I was watching a movie or having the worst dream ever. I am already at my weakest, any more of this and I would simply collapse.
“You planned all of it, didn’t you. You want to get me out of the picture and have him all to yourself, don’t you?
Well, news flash, Bitch!
If I can’t have Simon, no one will!” she threatened fiercely and unlocked the safety pin of her revolver before aiming at me and smiling evilly.
“Kill her and watch me destroy your family,” someone threatened from behind us. I know his voice, I would always recognize his voice even of I’m sleeping. Evelyn turned to see who the intruders was. But before she could get his location, she was already surrounded by security and she had no choice but to drop her gun and surrender.
I stood at the same point and watched as they dragged her away like a fucking criminal. Mrs Wilson was alerted and she came running towards the security post to settle the issue before the cops will be involved. I still couldn’t move an inch, I stood there like a statue, gazing into thin air, wondering how my life suddenly went out of control.
“Are you okay?” Felix asked me, his genuine concern showing on his face.
“Why wouldn’t I be?” I scoffed and responded to him, my eyes filled with tears.
“You know, I was asked not to interact with you until the investigations are over. They think we are in a relationship and they do not want me to update you on the progress of the investigation.” He stated sadly.
“Do you think I did it?” I asked him, looking into his eyes for answers. He looked away for a brief second, and when he turned back to look at me, I saw the uncertainty in his eyes and I knew I couldn’t depend on him to get me out of this mess because he doesn’t trust me enough to believe that I’m innocent of all the accusation.
“It doesn’t matter what I believe, Lina. At the end of the day, the evidence found by the investigators would be the determining factor. Let’s just hope they have no evidence against you, I’ll really be disappointed if I find out you did it.” He told me sadly as he looked away from me, refusing to look into my eyes.
Even if everyone else thought I did it, even if the evidence suggests that I did it. I was hoping he would look into my eyes and tell me that he believes me because he knows what I’m capable of. I turned away from him, going into the elevator to go to my office. But he came to stand in my front, blocking my path,
“Where do you think you are going?” he asked sternly, sounding angry.
“I’m going to my office, Felix. Or am I fired already?
Are you going to fire me before the investigations are concluded, or are you scared I might steal something else from your computer?” I responded angrily as I tried to dodge him and move to the elevator.
“Why are you so annoying!
Why cant you just pretend to be down and broken for just one second and let me take care of you. This strong will of your is becoming irritating, you can’t survive without me, you can’t do it without me. You need me to survive!” he lashed out at me, sounding so pissed off at me that I wondered what I could have done to upset him to this extent.
He realized his mistake when I stood starting at him like a moron. He dragged his hand through his hair, ruffling his hair and looking confused.
“I’m sorry I got upset. I got a call from Dr George about your health condition and I was hoping you would tell me about it and let me take care of you. But here you are acting all tough and energetic. It’s so annoying that you don’t trust me enough to share your burdens with me. How else do you want me to tell you that I love you?” he asked me say, caressing my cheeks with his hand.
“Im sorry, Felix. I’m just so confused, I don’t know what to do at this point, I’m too tired to even think straight.” I confessed.
“I know you are, I know how you fell. Would you like me to take you home and take care of you?” he whispered softly. At this point, I simply nodded because I really can’t do it on my own. I need him to take my home and take care of me.
He smiled so brightly as he helped me into his car and drove me to his house. I wasn’t feeling okay on the drive home. I felt uneasy and restless so he stopped by a restaurant and made me eat some chicken soup so I can take my prescribed drugs.
This is exactly the kind of care that Dr George said I needed. He watched me take all my drugs and then he help me back into his car, reclining the passenger seat so I could be more comfortable. He is so thoughtful and kind to me. I felt myself getting more attracted to him, desiring him like never before.
