Chapter 8.

22:37 – 23:22 Back in Time – Selina

The sun shone through the balcony doors in the wedding suite at the hotel Hotel Danieli, Selina lies back in the bed and allows the warm air brush across her as she smiles warmly at the thought of the wedding the day before. On the floor lay her Tea – Length bespoke wedding dress intertwined with Harrisons grey sharkskin 3 pieces, there is a gentle knock at the door. 

Selina gathers the fresh white linen around her body and answered the door to find the concierge holding the biggest bunch of beautifully enchanting, a mix of pastel garden roses, delicately hand-tied with mint, lavender flowers and Senecio, her favourites from Fortnum and Mason, she received these flowers from her father on her passing out parade from the Met. He is so thoughtful.

Inside the note that came with the flowers read 'When you read this count to 20 and surprise you will receive.'

Selina laughs, "Okay" 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20"

A knock at the door surprises her, "Tell me...he can't have!" 

Selina saunters over to the door and it's the concierge again, this time holding little black drees with all the hallmarks of a Tiffany dress! Another note 'put this dress on and join me at the restaurant below. Wow, Selina giggles away like the cat who has got the crème as this is a Michelin starred restaurant as she slips on the sleek black dress that compliments her perfect hourglass figure.

Selina makes her way down to the lobby and asks the concierge to get her a taxi. As she waits, she admires the street watching the people go by believing that she must be in dreamland, could this get any better?

Arriving at the restaurant Harrison tells the host at the restaurant he has a table for two and he is quickly seated and brought over a complimentary bottle of champagne,

"Sir, please accept with compliments of the house for the happy couple."

Harrison replies with "Grazie Signore." 

The waiter leaves the bottle of Dom Perignon, a tall, suited man with slicked-back hairstyle slides into the chair opposite, as he is doing so, he flashes a handgun sitting menacingly holstered to his body.

"You better make this quick!" Harrison says sharply!
