Chapter 102
“I want you to quit the entertainment industry,” Michelle demanded.
Selene stared at her. “What?” She couldn’t believe what she was hearing. She thought her eardrums were playing a trick on her. “What did you just say p>
“You heard me right,” Michelle responded, taking a step towards Selene. “I want you to quit the entertainment industry and go far away. Somewhere I won’t see you and want to shred you into pieces then feed your bones to stray dogs,” she threatened with a smile.
Selene raised her chin, and stared at Michelle from under her nose since she was taller than the latter.
Completely unfazed by her threat, she questioned, “So you want to get rid of me like you did with Anastasia p>
Michelle’s heart skipped a beat at the mention of Anastasia’s name. It’s been almost a year but that name still haunts her.
“This is one of the reasons I like you, Michelle,” Selene said, making Michelle give her a questionable eyebrow. “You are so delusional it’s laughable,” she explained.
Immediately, Michelle was vexed by Selene’s reply. She didn’t care if she was delusional. She just wanted Selene out of her life like she never met her in the first place.
The more days passed, the more Michelle felt like she was losing everything she owned. Xavier was taken from her, her role, her fans, and some of her sponsors have terminated their contracts with her. She needed to get Selene out of the way because she was afraid of what she would do next.
“Think of it however you like.” Michelle took another step towards Selene, shortening the distance between them, and the latter didn’t bother to move back. “What I ask of you is very simple. Just leave and never come back p>
“Because I’m a threat to you, isn’t that it? Well, I don’t blame you at all. But you might be forgetting about something. You have no right to tell me what to do, Michelle,” Selene stated. “I’m not going to leave the entertainment industry because of you. If you feel threatened I will take other things from you Selene took a step towards Michelle, making the distance even shorter. “Then I advise you to hold on to the little you have before I strike again,” she whispered in her ears, leaning away.
Selene had already gotten her properties back, but she didn’t want to reveal her true identity. Her main goal had been to get back properties and kick the Harrison family out of her mansion and company, but she felt that would be too small for them to bear.
They had killed her child without remorse. Each day, she would still wonder if they hadn’t killed her child, would she have been a good mother even though she never had one.
But no. They killed her baby and planned to kill her too. Kicking them out would just be an effortless punishment for them. She wanted to do worse, which was to break the family ties they had with each other before sending the bigger blow.
“You have no right,” Michelle spat out.
“I never asked for one p>
Selene smiled at her and turned to leave but she halted.
“How’s your father? I hope he’s recovering?” She asked. “You’d better advise your mum to keep him under control, because next time, he won’t just be getting kicked,” she warned before she entered her car.
Martha and Liam didn’t hear their conversation, but since Selene entered her car unscathed, they had no reason to be there anymore. Both Selene and their car zoomed off, leaving Michelle only with her car and driver. She clenched her fist with gritted teeth before entering her car.
Ito drove Selene to the mansion, where Xavier was waiting for her. Kace hadn’t been around lately due to a mission Xavier had sent him on so that he would have the time to teach her some basic self defense.
Selene got ready, wearing sweatpants and a baggy top. She needed to be comfortable in what was to come since Xavier didn’t give her a hint of what they would be doing together.
Selene walked to the back of the mansion. She didn’t know if she should call it the back any more; it looked more like a training ground.
She had only asked Xavier to teach her some basic self-defense techniques, but throwing dummies and punching bags wasn’t something she was expecting at all. She noticed the dumbbells that were placed by the side and then some knives placed aside.
She frowned slightly, a mixture of excitement and nervousness etched on her expression.
“What do you think?” Xavier asked her, placing a punching bag by the corner.
“Xavier, I thought you were only going to teach me things like where to press on someone’s neck to make them sleep, or how to twist someone’s fingers,” she said, walking towards him as she continued to scan around.
“You will be learning a lot of those too. You won’t be starting with these for now, I was just getting them ready,” he replied.
He couldn’t wait to teach Selene how to fight even though she had refused to tell him what had happened in Robert’s office the other day.
“Ahh… I see. So, which one are you going to teach me now?” Selene asked with curiosity laced in her tone.
Her hands were itching to hit something, even though she doubted she could do any damage due to how frail her hands were.
Xavier stared at her figure. Her body was swallowed in the soft fabric of her clothes, but he knew how slim she was under it. He couldn’t have her defending his attacks without her producing enough muscles first.
“You are going to start by lifting weights,” he said, walking towards the dumbbells.
“Wait As in to work out? I can’t work out p>
“Sure, you can,” Xavier persuaded, handing her the dumbbells that weigh 5 pounds each, nearly making her drop them. “You can do this p>
