CHAPTER 23

She had never seen him intimidating anyone before.
“What makes you sound so confident? This is a free country and I can do whatever I want,” Cleo asked.
Sean threw a file on the table and Selena pulled it and opened it. The things inside were so shocking she didn’t know a human being can actually do something like this.
“I think you should just listen to his advice. I hate you so much but I would not like it if you end up in prison even though when you deserve it,” Selena said as she threw the file at Cleo.
“So, you can talk?” Cleo asked her.
“You know that well. I never knew that a woman was capable of doing something like this. You are a disgrace to womanhood,” Selena practically insulted Cleo.
“What give you the right to judge me?” Cleo asked filed with fury after looking at the file.
“Ever since the second you decided to come into our lives and destroy this was the very second, I got the right to judge. If you are a wise person, I advise you to carry yourself out of this room and let us have our dinner,” Selena said glaring at Cleo who just choked on herself.
For the first time she saw how tongue-tied she was, she didn’t think she was capable of doing that.
“You heard the lady, Cleo. Unlike my generous wife here, I don’t give a damn about you. If you try anything, I will send that file to a prosecutor I know. I bet he will enjoy having this as a case or I might as well just contact all those people you con. I bet they will love to see your face again.
I hold all the card here, so right here and right now, promise me that you will disappear to whatever hole you crawled out from!”
They all looked at Cleo who seemed to be having a battle in her mind. She had lost this war and she should just raise the damn white flag. Why was she trying so hard to be hardheaded?
“Fine, I will leave you two alone and hope that we will never meet. For your own information, I really did love you back then but your family……”
“Don’t you even dare go there? I know my family so well so there is no need for you to remind me about them. Just leave!”
Cleo stood up and picked up her bag and then looked at Selena.
“He is a good man, take care of him for me,” Cleo said.
“I know but I won’t be doing that for you because I have always done it from day one,” Selena said and Sean looked at her and smiled.
Cleo shook her head and left the room. Selena took a deep breath as soon as Cleo left and she looked at her husband.
“That went well. When did you find all that information?” she asked him.
“Let’s just say I prepared myself just in case a day like this ever comes,” he said cupping her face with his hand.
“Thank you for doing this,” she said as she out her hand on top of this.
“I will do anything for you to see you happy. Now let’s have our dinner and go back home. I have so many things that I need to show you,” he said and she knew what his intentions were.
She smiled at him, talked to him with her eyes and agreed on whatever was going to come. He will make a great dad, she could see it but he was going to wait for a while before he learns the truth.
“I can’t wait for that,” she said with starts in her eyes.

Vivian had been stressed ever since Edward rejected her and created that sister zone. It was so difficult for her to even see him now. How was she supposed to face him if they ever met again?
“So, what are you going to do?” Selena asked her as they both sat in the cafeteria having their food.
“I don’t know what else to do. If I continue to pester him, he will surely hate me,” Vivian said with worry and sadness in her voice.
“But it won’t also be right to give up on your first trial. You need to fight for it, you never know. You may end up winning in the end,” Selena said while encouraging her.
She knew her friend’s intentions but she was now more scared than before.
“Let’s just forget about him and concentrate on you. So, can you tell me what you are hiding?” she asked Selena.
Something had been off about her, it wasn’t Sean’s issue with his ex but she could tell that there was something more she wasn’t telling.
“I am pregnant,” Selena spilled the beans and Vivian choked on her food.
“OMG! How far are you?” Vivian asked her friend. She couldn’t believe that this was happening. She had done it.
“Four weeks,” she told her.
“Congratulations girl. Does he know? Is he happy about it?” Vivian was so curious she was about to combust.
“I haven’t told him yet. Do you think he will be happy about it? What if he doesn’t want a child now? What will I do?” Selena asked so many questions and Vivian understood.
It was normal for Selena to panic and have questions like that. She had never been intimate with anyone but she had seen a lot of people who fought because of children.
