CHAPTER 41
Fiona paced to and fro the kitchen impatiently. Worried about the note Bill sent, anxiously waiting for Wayne to return home for the day.
She tried his numbers several times and he hadn’t answered. Miguel had left claiming he ad some stuffs to do and Susan hadn’t returned home from the store.
“Oh God!… why the hell do I feel so nervous!, nothing is gonna happen to wayne I’m sure of it.” She reassures herself and move to the refrigerator. She retrieves a can of drink and sits on one of the counter stools. She places her elbows on the counter and cup her cheeks, staring into space.
“Fiona… are you alright?” Susan asks as she stands at the doorway. Fiona whips her head to the door and and blinks.
“Oh mom!… I didn’t know you were home already” She slide down the stool and helps her with the groceries.
“Yeah I just arrived, seems you were too busy to notice” Susan asks as she furrows her brows at her. Fiona sighs lowly, placing the bags on the counter.
“It’s 5pm already… Wayne should be back from work shouldn’t he?” Fiona voice was tinged with concern.
“You know how your brother is… he might decided to work late tonight and he still has to take his girl home you know” Susan says and they laugh.
“Oh c’mon mom don’t push your luck too far. Selene might be attracted to wayne but you know how strong headed your son is… sometimes I wonder if he wishes to be a Reverend in the chapel” Fiona rolls her eyes, and Susan laughs.
“I know Wayne Fiona… and I have this feeling he’s attracted to that lady…. but I just hope he won’t get his heart broken… this is the first time he’s getting serious with a girl you know” Susan voice out with a sigh.
“I hope so too mother… they seem the perfect couple and Selene is kind at heart. I hope we could get the chance to thank her properly” Fiona shrugs. She doesn’t have to be worried, Wayne would get home and she’d show him the note Bill had given her..
“Alright… unpack these so we could cook something for dinner… You don’t want your brother starving.”
“Alright mom” She run her fingers through her hair and began to unpack the groceries.
Selene slides into the passenger seat and Wayne shuts the door. He goes round the car and slipped in next to her.
“Seatbelts Selene” Wayne says as he ignites the engine. They were closed from work and he’s dropping her home as usual. Selene straps in her belt and relaxes into the seat as he drives away.
“You good?” He glanced at her quiet self and she nods.
“Yeah Wayne… I’m just tired” She says listlessly. Inside her she felt pure anger. She had texted the two guys and asked them to meet up with her in one of her apartment downtown. She’s gonna finish this up once and all. She was angry at the last guy who had put her into so much stress trying to find him. She stealed a glance at Wayne as he drove and she sighs internally. Maybe she doesn’t deserve someone like Wayne, but he had succeeded in taking over her sanity.
Yet she couldn’t get those pictures off her mind. She felt exposed and wondered if he had truly been stalking her. She wondered why the person who sent the pictures hadn’t replied her message. Selene sighs and hung her head low, all these would end tonight.. She would finish them and face her life squarely.
Wayne gripped to the steering as he drove her home. The silence was awkward and he couldn’t help feeling convinced that Selene was truly hiding something. He had this gut feeling that the date with her client wasn’t an ordinary one. First she looks withdrawn and then she hadn’t informed him of the business date. He sighs and halts the car at a red light. He spares her a look and her face was pressed to the window. He raked his hand at his hair and groaned internally. The light turned green and he continues driving.
Wayne glanced at the side mirror as he drove and he dilates his eyes. A car was behind them and it looks like Stacey’s. He wasn’t so sure cos he couldn’t see the occupant of the car clearly. He shrugged it off and resumed driving.

Selene sighed out in relief as Wayne drives into the mansion. She had been quiet throughout the ride and Wayne had tried all he could to cheer her up.
“Here we are…” Wayne breathes out without turning off the engine. He turned to her and raised his hand to cup her cheeks.
“I already told you severally that you could talk to me if you need help. I’m gladly gonna help. I can’t force the words out of your mouth or I’d have done that immediately” He rolls his eyes and she laughed softly. She held his hand and pressed a kiss on it.
“Relax… soon you won’t have to be bothered about me anymore. I’m gonna be happy all the time okay… Goodnight Wayne…” She leaned in and kissed him lightly before stepping out. Wayne watched her shut the door and hastily walked into the mansion.
He drove out and stopped few meters away from the mansion. No!… he’s got to find out what this date is about. He needs to know why Selene looks withdrawn since the meeting with the client. He needs to know if Selene is gonna be okay… Wayne kills the engine and rakes his hand at his hair. He’d trail her… to wherever she’s going .
Selene smiled at her reflection in the mirror as she smeared gloss on her lips. One of her victim had arrived and was patiently waiting in the room. She had gotten to the apartment minutes earlier to find one of the guys waiting. She’d finish him off before the next one comes.
There was one thing about having to dress up into a nice lingerie and making up before killing her rapists. She loves looking beautiful as she killed them.
So they would know she wasn’t the Selene they had raped and left to rot in a dumpsite. She took one final look at herself in the mirror and giggled. Beneath her lingerie she had a gun strapped to her thighs if ever he acts funny. She sucked in her breath before walking out of the bathroom. The first guy she had found sat on the bed and was clad in only his boxer briefs. The last hadn’t arrived yet because she had texted a different time for him, enough time to get rid of this asshole.
“Damn Selene…” He groans immediately. His skin was tanned and he had tattoos all over his arms.
“Look… I d-don’t know why you ch-ose me over the rest guys… but I bet you selene!… you aren’t ever gonna forget this night!” He grins as Selene walked to him. He took in her curvy shape. Her smooth bare things and hips, the delicate swell of her breasts and her jet-black hair framing her face… Yeah, she’s a goddess.
“Awww…. that’s so true cupcake… I’m never gonna forget this night.” She scowled at him and trailed her palm down his bare chest.
“How about you let me ride you. I’m gonna tie you all up in a chair and ride you all the way to hell… you like that?” She smirked and he breath in as Selene hand rests on his bulge.
“Y-eah!… yeah Selene… I want that!” He grabbed her waist but she smacked his hand off.
“I haven’t told you before…. I love being in charge. Now strip and go sit your ass down on the chair.” She snapped but he was too confused to notice her anger. He did as she said and Selene opens a drawer beside the bed and brings out a thin strip of rope. She walked to him, chuckling at how hard he was as he sat.
“Your arms around the chair mister” She tells him and begins to tie him up. She tied him up tightly and smiled in satisfaction when she was done.
“So cupcake…. what do you want me to do to you” She stands in front of him and he smiles.
“You said it already Selene…. I want to have a taste of you…. I want to watch you cûm all over me… ” Selene lips twitches angrily. She fisted her palm and punched him hard across the face. His head whipped to the side from the impact and he could swear he was numb for some seconds.
When he regained his composure, he was seeing a different Selene. All traces of smile was gone from her face and replaced with anger and hate- deep hate.
“Fuck!” He groaned and spat out blood.
“You asshole!” She spat out and slammed her fist hard on his nose.
“How do you like that huh?… you motherfucker!” She growled.
“What the fuck is wrong with you!” He groans as blood drips down his nose. He fought against the rope but it was fruitless. Selene chuckles bitterly.
“You have the guts to ask that!. Shouldn’t I be the one asking you that. What the fuck are you doing here Mister, trying to f*ck the girl you raped months ago!” She snapped feeling her entire nerves taut from anger.
“Huh!… what are you saying Selene have you suddenly gone crazy!” He spat out and Selene eyes dilates in anger.
“I’d take you down memory lane asshole!. Months ago you and some bunch of idiots ganged up on a girl. She was alone you know… no friends and family. Just she trying to get herself together. And boom the moment you saw her in a club you wanted her. And when you couldn’t get her you did it the wrong way!… you and Nine. Other. Bastards f*cked her brutally!… you beat her up till she was black and blue and then you shot her, dumped her hopeless ass in a freaking dumpsite to die.. ” Selene fisted her palm again and tears slipped down her cheeks.
“Does that help you remember! huh!” She yells out as her voice shook. Silence meets her outburst and he looks shocked. If she was the one then he couldn’t recognize her. He was drunk that night, driven by lust. He had been the one who had personally hit her with a rod and it appeared other guys wanted her too. Soon they were ten in number and they had taken advantage of her.
Now he knew there wasn’t any escaping. He’s met his death today. His nose was broken and blood flowed freely. Maybe he could beg for mercy but before he could she leans down and stares right at him. He stared right back and she smiled.
“I wanted to make this more interesting… but I’ve got another person to deal with.. so I’m gonna make this quick. She broke eye contact with him stepped back. He widened his eyes at the gun in her hands.
“Se-lene!… y-ou don’t have to!… look I’m gonna pay you whatever amount you wish for!…. please don’t do this! He stumbled on his words and Selene chuckles.
“The fuck mister.. all I want now is for you to take a trip to hell!” She aimed at his torso and squeezed the trigger. His loud scream pierced the night as the bullet pierced him, the same time the door bursts open. Selene startled, spins around and it felt as though the world stopped as she finds a shocked Wayne standing few steps away from her.
“W-hat!… are you doing here… Wayne!…”
