LOVE, HATE AND DESIRE.

CHAPTER 14

Selena pulled away immediately and jumped out of the bed, she was mad angry. How dare he kiss her with those filthy lips, lips he had used on his whore.

"What? Playing the hard card huh?"

"Get out!" She ordered.

"Why, don't fancy my touch anymore?" He said, moving around to the other side of the bed.

"Stay where you are!" Selena yelled again.

Maybe she wasn't ready to be so bold with him yet, she needed to build a strong defence to face him. She was still easily affected by his touch, his stare, his kiss....

"This is my house selena i go wherever i want."

He came around to stand right in front of her, selena tried to escape by mounting the bed but he held and pinned her down beneath him.

"This is exactly where you should be, right here."

He sniffed her neck, he placed a light kiss there and she squirmed to be free from him. He held her face and kissed her on the lips forcefully, selena struggled and pushed him enough to slap him across the face. Stunned to the effect of a woman hitting him, he remained still, trying hard to control his temper. Then daliha barged into the room to see him lying on selena;

"Nathan..."

"Fuck off!" He yelled loudly, scaring both women.

Daliha left and slammed the door, his gaze returned to selena who was still under him but with her eyes closed and lips folded. He slowly got off her and stared at her again before storming out of the room.

        ********************

Three days with nathan and his mistress in the same space wasn't doing selena any good, even though he checked on her more often than usual. Daliha also gave her a hard time anytime she caught nathan trying to steal kisses from her whenever he had the chance, selena couldn't stand the disrespect anymore so she went into the bathroom to take a shower, she needed to be at parent's house. Her mother wanted her body cremated, so she could busy herself with that. When she arrived downstairs, she met a pair of silver eyes glaring at her, since she didn't have any business with her, she tried to walk pass daliha but the woman blocked her way.

"Please move out of my way." Selena requested politely.

"He'll never love you, don't try to seduce him any further." Daliha said

Selena scoffed, "I'm his wife, he has no choice. You're only a temporary pleasure thing, don't get use to it." Selena tried walking away but daliha drew her back.

"Don't step on me selena, i could kill you right now and he wouldn't care."

"I'll love to see you try."

Daliha growled and gripped selena's neck, she didn't like being challenged, it made her go crazy for blood. Her eyes turned red and her nails sank into selena's flesh, drawing blood from her tender skin, selena winced as she stood still in shock.

'What the hell is she?'  She thought.

In a quick flash, she was in nathan's arm and daliha was on the floor with blood on the side of her mouth, apparently, nathan had hit her.

"How dare you touch her?!"

"She's the enemy, why do you defend her?"

"It's not your place to punish my enemies. Get your things and get lost!"

"Nathan.."

"Get out!" Nathan roared.

Daliha raced upstairs, while nathan carried the freaked out selena up to her bedroom to clean her up, he placed her on the couch and proceeded to get ointment for her wounds.

"Don't come near me!" She yelled when he approached her. "Who are you?!"
Nathan slowly stepped forward but she screamed at him to stop; "Don't you dare come close to me!"

"Take a deep breath selena, it's me."

"Who?"

Nathan held her face and locked eyes with her;
"I'm your husband selena, you had an accident. Stay home and recuperate."

He said something else and she passed out. Nathan cleaned up the blood from her neck, he applied the ointment and changed her bloodstained clothes. He thought Ryan was right, he shouldn't have let daliha in, she had the guts to make his wife bleed.
He stared at the sleeping woman in front of him, he noticed something had changed about her, she was more daring than usual. She never showed any atom of jealousy when he flaunted daliha, neither was she moved by his intentional display of affection to daliha. Maybe he was too hard on her, she just lost her mother and she didn't need all this silly act of his to aggreviate her pain.

Pain? Pain, why will she be pained by my actions? It's not like she feels anything for me, in her eyes i'm just her captor. He thought to himself.

He sat beside her, soothing her hair;
"I'm sorry the money was donated late, i should have stepped in earlier."

Nathan remember ryan telling him about mrs moore's medical condition, at first he was reluctant to help, seeing the origin of her illness. Only if selena knew, it will surely break her, she will definitely hate him for life.

But it's not your fault, why would she hate you?

His subconscious mind asked him, he didn't have any respond to that.
Nathan stood up and left the room, sparing on last glance at her before closing the door slowly.
