CHAPTER 15

“Who are you and why did you want to me?” she asked the woman.
“My name is Cleo and I came back to take what is mine,” she said with a smirk on her face.
“And what exactly is that?” she asked Cleo.
“Sean, he is mine. He had always been mine,” Cleo said and Selena was shocked by the way she just boldly said that.
“How can he be yours when he is married to me?” she asked wanting to understand the woman’s intentions.
“He married you just to spite me. We ended things on a sad note. We had a little misunderstanding and he didn’t talk it so well. We love each other so I just wanted to tell you to back off. You are no match for me,” Cleo said and somehow Selena felt so disgusted that this woman used to be part of her husband’s life.
With just one glance one could tell how evil this woman was. She felt sorry for Sean for falling for such a devil like this woman. She could tell that she was lying. Sean might not have feelings for her but she knew that he would never cheat on her.
He promised her before they got married. Even when he wasn’t being intimate with her back then after their wedding, she had never seen him with another woman and yet this devil comes to tell her those painful words. She was trying to break her marriage but she wasn’t going to allow her to do that.
She had endured all the words that were thrown at her from the second it was known that she was marrying a Sawyer. She wasn’t going to let some obsessed woman to come into her life and take what was hers.
“I will be honest with you then Cleo or whatever your name is. I don’t care what you two shared in the past but I will tell you right now that Sean he is mine and my husband. I don’t ever want to see you ever again near me or him,” she warned her and Cleo laughed.
“How very stupid and naïve of you? What can a little girl like you do to me?” Cleo asked as she sized her.
“If you continue to linger around then you will see what I am capable of,” she answered her.
“I will look forward to that,” Cleo said.
Selena was so angry she wanted to strangle the other woman but she couldn’t. Any silly mistake will result in the company’s image falling. Since she was the face she had to control herself and keep calm even when it was difficult. She was about to stand up, trying to avoid any more confrontations when a familiar voice said something.
Selena turned around and smiled as she saw Vivian approaching them.
“I was wondering where I had seen you but now I know. Aren’t you Mrs. Sawyer, the famous wife of Sean Sawyer?” she asked her as if she didn’t know.
What was Vivian doing? Why was she yelling out loud when they were friends? She gave her a look that told her to go along with her.
“It’s me,” she answered lowly.
“You shouldn’t just meet with anyone. This world is full of greedy people who will do anything to see you go down,” she said as she joined them.
“Who are you?” Cleo asked Vivian.
“Me, I am her best friend and unlike my friend here I will not beat around the bush. I have taken your picture and I will dig into everything you did from when you were a baby until now.
I am going to expose it and make sure you never get to see the light of day again. Either you will get arrested or you will kill yourself because of the shame you will be feeling by then.
What gives you the right to threaten my friend like that? If you were that special he would have married you and not her. So don’t you ever dare go around spouting rubbish like that? I hope I made myself clear,” Vivian said and Selena applauded Vivian’s bravery.
She could go one on one with such a woman. What else was she capable of doing?
“And what was your name again?” Cleo asked, still looking down on her.
“Huxley, the famous one,” she answered.
There was only one famous man with that name and he was someone you wouldn’t want to cross.
“Is he…?” she didn’t finish asking.
“Yes, and even without you making a crime I can still have you either sent to a prison or you can just disappear. So choose wisely, which route you would want to take,” Vivian surprised her once more.
“This is not over,” Cleo said as she stood up.
“Think very wisely,” Vivian called out as Cleo left.
Selena hugged her friend, if it wasn’t because of her she would have embarrassed herself and failed to fight for herself.
“Thank you very much for helping me,” she said as she breaks the hug.
“That what friends are for. I just couldn’t help but overhear her saying all those words. You shouldn’t let anyone walk over you like that,” Vivian said and she nodded.
“I will change, I promise.”
“So, what did she told you”’
Selena narrated the whole story and Vivian laughed her lungs out.
“What’s funny?”
“Girl, that bitch is just so mad that he didn’t pine for her the way she thought he would. I once heard a story from my brother about your husband. He was betrayed by a girl he loved so much and one day she just left.
Ever since then Sean changed a lot, he was never serious with any woman so when he married you, he shocked a lot of people. He might still be hurt but when it comes to you, I think he is genuine.
You should ask him and talk about it when he returns. If an issue goes for long without shedding some light into it, things may go sour and you will never be able to sort it out,” Vivian told her.
After hearing this she could till that she knew little of her husband. What more secrets was he holding? If her husband was really pinning for Cleo then does it meant that he will waver since she returned back. Their love would probably be stronger than the one they shared. She was scared now. What if she loses him?
“You don’t have to think much about it. He is a responsible man and even if he still has feelings for that spiteful woman you can still keep him with you,” Vivian surprised her with another statement again.
“How can that be possible?” she asked, wanting to know.
“If you have his child, I don’t think he can ever abandon you,” Vivian stated and she pondered over it.
She wanted to have a family with him but using the baby as a means of making him to stay with her, it was just wrong.
“I will think of what to do after I confront him. I am not feeling well, I will drive back home first. I will call you if anything happens,” Selena said as she stood up.
“Are you sure that you can go alone?” she asked her.
“I am fine, don’t worry about it,” she answered.
