Forced Marriage

Chapter 40

Selena's POV

I set my things down my desk as already  finished my last meeting of the day. I feel really tired right now. I had experienced 3-4 meetings a day, or should I say almost everyday, but today, I just finished two meetings and I got really tired. Maybe that's also an effect of being pregnant.

I sighed and sat down on my chair. I leaned back against it and closed my eyes as I breathed deeply. I feel like I'm going to throw up. I shook my head. No. I'm not. I don't want to. I opened my eyes and looked at my wall clock. It says 1:27.

I should home by now. Thank God, Dad's on a meeting with some other clients. I stood up and took my things from my desk. I fixed my things first before walking towards the door. I walked out of my office just to be slightly startled by Jillian.

"Gosh, you freaking startled me, Jillian." I exclaimed while placing my hand on my chest.

"Oh, sorry. Mr. Cowell told me to check on you if you already got home. So, go home now. Mr. Cowell said if you didn't get home now—"

"Okay okay. I get it. I was just about to leave." I said, cutting her off as I press the down button of the elevators.

Jillian smiled like a six year old girl who is very happy before speaking. "Okay. Be safe." She said before walking away.

I chuckled and stepped in the elevator. I took my phone from my purse and saw I have a message from Jace. I smiled and opened it as I stepped out of the elevator again.

From : Jace

Hello, Conchita! So, I'm wondering if we could go shopping today. I mean, if you're busy this afternoon, it's fine with me. We could still go shopping any other time, anyway. xx :)

To: Jace

Hi, Jacey. I would love to go shopping with you. I'm quite stressed out today. What time are we going?

I pressed send before hopping into my car. I set my things including my phone on the passengers seat before buckling my seatbelt and drove off. I loved how considerate Jace is. That's why I love him to death. He always cares for me even if, sometimes I don't want to go to the mall with him, he'll always be fine with it.

I honked when I was already outside of Harry and I's house. John opened the gates and when he heard me honked. As I parked my car inside the garage, I see Harry's car isn't here. I sigh, maybe he went out with the boys.

I turned the ignition off and unbuckled my seatbelt. I took my purse and my phone from the passenger's seat before stepping out of my car. I locked it and walked inside the house.

I walked towards the staircase while I look down at my phone, reading Jace's reply.

From: Jace

That's great. I'll be there at 3:00. xx :)

I smiled and replied 'okay' before opening the door of Harry and I's room. I look up and almost screamed because of Harry's body sprawled out under the duvet. I thought he went out. Maybe the boys just borrowed his car.
