2024-10-11 04:39:52Selena heaved a sigh of relief,she was alive afterall.
Dying without fulfilment of her duty would have made her restless even in the pit of hell .
The Hale family had done her more than she ever hoped for.
She promised wholeheartedly to repay their kindness which she has almost fulfilled.
Getting Peter Hale to meet his long lost heir Ryan.
The satisfactory smile their reunion will bring her ,she had imagined it ten times over
Unfortunately her illness made her miss out on it.
But she hoped Peter felt elated at the sight of the older Ryan
Who was she to chastiate the all knowing creator, probably she could feel a pang of jealousy at it all.
That was why she had to miss it but nevertheless,she felt relieved,her brother Ryan is back
" It seems she is awake" Bella screamed in excitement
Bella Conner her secretary shouted to the bodyguards outside gesturing them to reach out to the health attendant.
The nurses rushed into the room along with the hospital's director and two doctors.
Selena stared intently at the ceiling,she wasn't just treated like any other patient.
She was Zillow Jade 's CEO so she had the best service of the hospital rendered to her.
Being adopted by Peter and Camela Hale turned her life meaningful.
Born by a prostituting mother and a gambling father
The first seven years of her life was so miserable that she wished she wasn't born not until her mother stabbed her father under the influence of alcohol.
Her mother's arrest led to social welfare dropping her off at an orphanage.
She didn't know why Camela had favoured her with adoption.
" Miss Hale, blink three times if you can hear me" Doctor Brian shouted
Selena managed to blink which was rewarded with excitement from the others in the room
" How many fingers do I have here" Doctor Brian further questioned
Selena found it difficult to mouth her mind but she was a fighter so she put all her strength into talking
" T-three" Selena stammered
Doctor Brian smiled pleasantly,he knew she just survived another few weeks.
The worst is yet to be over but she could survive a little longer
" Miss Bella,if you will excuse us,we need to run a few more tests on her" Doctor Brian said
"W-where i-is Ryann?" Selena said in what seems like a whisper
" I feel hurt Sel, you didn't even notice my presence,well your brother refused to show up " Bella said pouting
Selena smiled,Bella her best friend and personal assistant has always been her strong support through the turbulence of life.
Bella was the only one aware of her deteriorating health apart from her doctor.
Selena raised her hand trying to reach out to her confident and Bella on the other hand quickly moved closer to her and held gently the hand she raised
" You scared me Sel, I was so miserable, please don't scare me off like that again" Bella busted into uncontrollable tears.
"I am sorry" Selena said softly
"Miss Conner, please we need --" Doctor Brian started
" I am sorry doctor,I got carried away " Bella interjected and hastily got up.
Dropped Selena's fragile hand by her side and walked out of the VIP room tears streaking from her eyes.
Bella walked straight to the lobby,she brought out a mirror from her Louis Vuitton bag .
She applied her red lipstick, dabbed her face with more foundation powder to hide the blemishes her tears had caused her initial makeup
She brought out a cigarette and lighter,puffed a smoke into the air.
"Bitch" Bella muttered cursing under her breath
A tubby woman in her fifties who passed by her gave her a weird look as she thought she was referring to her.
" I wasn't talking about you hag" Bella eyed her with disdain
Her phone chimed and she called back instantly,the receiver picked up almost immediately
" She is awake" Bella said
The receiver heaved a sigh of relief
" How long do you think she has?" the receiver blurted
" Not long I guess,we need to move faster " Bella said hurriedly
" I guess step C should be scrapped now that she has found the real Hale heir" the receiver said sadly
"I understand " Bella said dangerously
"What is Ryan Hale like?" the receiver asked curiously
" Don't know,I haven't met him, I have been sitting put by the fox but I hope he is also foolish,it will make it all easier" Bella said with enthusiasm
" Meet him and gain his trust fast, we are running out of time " the receiver urged
" What about the fox?" Bella asked
" Keep your cover smartly ,we are almost there" a deeper male voice responded
"Didn't know you were there too" Bella said with surprise
"Yes" he simply said
"hang in there daughter" the female receiver said and cut off the call
Bella rolled her eyes inwardly,she knew nobody truly cares about her.
She has always been a weapon to all Selena Hale inclusive.
" I find you attractive Bella" Selena said softly
Bella was surprised, she hadn't dared imagine Selena 's bisexual trait.
She found her attractive too but she hadn't dared bring it up also the mission comes first
"I a-am sooo ---"Bella stuttered playing the damsel in distress
" It is okay Bel, I do not need a response right away,take your time munching over it" Selena said softly
Bella smiled uncomfortably and gulped down a cup of liquor she was holding, this wasn't part of the mission.
Scanning through that memory almost weakened her resolve.
She was deep in thought that she failed to realize she was already on the stairwell
She was about rolling down when a powerful muscular hand grabbed her and yanked her backward to hold her balance.
She looked into the dark brow and was memorized by it
" Thank you Mr---" Bella muttered shamefaced to the attractive stranger
" Call me Leonard" the stranger said holding out his hand
"Leonard Grey CEO Golden Fingers" he said seductively watching Bella's reaction.

His eyes scanned through the room hoping for his mother to pop out of the wall maybe, but no one did, he wanted to question his father but before he could do, Peter answered his question.“I had been keeping an eye on Snape for quite some time now, it wasn't hard to get your mother out.”Spence had to hold himself back from scoffing, he was torn in between gratitude and spite.

He had done everything possible since he got an anonymous message a few hours ago about his mother’s abduction. He wanted to call it bluff but when her phone was picked by one of the kidnappers, fear coursed through his veins. Becoming Ryan Hale had ruined a lot of things for him, everything he had known all his life had ended up getting pushed aside, Including his clingy affection towards his adopted mother. He blamed himself severally, he should have seen it coming, he should have expected as much now that he was in the midst of multitudes of people with mixed feelings about him. He regretted not being a filial son that Mrs Wellington raised him to be. Since he found out about his identity and he had been stuck up in the Hale business, He had lacked the time to visit her or spend much time with her coupled with his bitterness towards her illega

Selena stared intently into his eyes.“Can you handle the truth?”Gale moved closer to her, he sat on the bed, he felt guilty internally for cuffing her hand. The old news paper about Ryan's disappearance had mentioned some strange things about Selena too and she had admitted to orchestrating Spence's disappearance, he had to know, even if she ends up hating him for
Chapter Seventy Three: Seeing my Wrongs.
“Dying isn't easy, is it Miss Hale?”Selena felt herself stiffen, how on earth was this possible. Her unwanted visitor threw her a mockery smirk but she shook it off, she managed to keep her eyes up on her target, her car packed only a few miles away.She summoned all the courage she could muster kicking against the temptation of exchanging words with a vengeful spirit. Her resilience finally paid off and she made it to the car. She cursed inwardly at her illluck that day and was about to open the car door when someone held her wrist.“Steady Miss Hale, you almost got run over from there.” Gale said with concern laced in his eyes.Selena felt herself relaxed, he was the last person she had expected to see but was glad someone at least knew she needed a hand.“Did Ryan station you to stalk me, I kind of deduced recently that you are an undercover cop.” She said nonchalantly.Gale’s brow furrowed slightly, he was certain she had done a thorough background check on him and wondered despe

The moment she walked through, cobwebs rolled through her body,she cursed loudly.Ryan hadn't bothered to keep her office in good shape, wasn't he expecting her return soon or probably she was meant to die at once.She left her office in anger and her sec
