The Seductress

Selene glowered at the pictures as she fought down the urge to smash the phone against the wall.

“You asshole!. I’m gonna make sure your death is just as miserable for putting me into so much stress!.” She grit out in anger.

A knock sounded at the door and she cussed and tossed the phone to the bed.

“Who’s it.. come in” She mumbled as she resumes applying make up on her face.

“Morning ma’am Selene” One of the maid greets as she gets in. “Ummm, your secretary has arrived already” She informs, watching Selene keenly. Selene turns to stare at her and her eyes twinkle happily.

Many of the workers knew her closeness to the hot looking secretary wasn’t a formal one.

Infact they had suspected right away that they were a thing now. Damn she’s got taste, her secretary was freaking hot!.

“Uh… could you tell him I’d be down in a minute?” Selene breathes out, hating the way her heart raced at the mention of his name.

“Alright ma’am…” She gave her a small smile before striding out of the door.

Selene blew out a breathe and stared at her reflection on the mirror.

Shivers shot through her as she imagined him raking his eyes down her figure and telling her she looked beautiful. She palmed her cheeks.

“Oh boy!… you’ve got to have a grip on youreself Selene.” She mutters, taking a final look at herself before putting on her flats.

She grabs her phone and shoves it into her bag. Now she has found one of her rapists, She would keep searching for the last one, arrange a meeting with them and finish them once and all.

She needs to put this behind her and focus on her life squarely.

“Hey…” Wayne mutters as they pull up at the company. She unstraps her belt and whips her head to stare at him. Throughout the ride she’s been aware of his gaze, and the smile compliment he gave about her had made her nervous throughout the ride.

“I know I’ve said it before, but I’d say it again. You look damn sexy in this dress you wore” Wayne says huskily and Selene sucked in her breath, cheeks flushing warmly.

His look was so intense that she was feeling hot even if the air conditioner was turned on. She pursed her lips and forces a nervous smile.

Wayne smirks as he watches her fidget with her purse. He reached for her hair and ran his hand through it, taking out the band and watching her hair cascade down her back. She gulped as she watched his lips curl into a smirk. Right now she wished she was naked with him, and he was trailing hot kisses down her body.

He hummed and tossed the hair band to the dashboard and let his palm rest on her thighs.

“Wayne…” Selene breathe out at the warmth from his hand. She wished she couldn’t react so quickly to his touch.

“You saying something?” Wayne taunts as he trail his hand further up her dress. She shook her head immediately.

“Good… I brought you something” He reached for the bag at the backseat and hand it to her. She frowned and opened it and brought out the first thing she saw. A single rose flower. She frowned at him.

“You bought me this?.” She voiced out and he nods. Her heart fluttered and she gave him a small smile.

“Thanks” She mutters, her eyes filling up. He has a way of making her feel like a high school girl who’s crazily in love.

“That’s not all… go on” He nudged and she blinks and reached for whatever was inside. She hung her mouth open at the black tiny strapped dress. it was damn pretty and provocating and would surely bring out all her curves. She reached for the last item, a pair of heels.

Her heart gave a ridiculous thump and she knot her brows, trying not to freak out.

“I figured out you might need some time off work, how about I treat you out to dinner tonight” it was more of a command than a request. She gazed at him, excitement bubbling in her chest.

Half conscious of the way her heart thumped rapidly and the butterflies somersaulting in her tummy, she breathe in deeply.

“Sure thing… Wayne” She clutched at the dress and nod.

“Thanks” He mutters and lean in to kiss her. He kisses her slowly- intensely. Her tummy clenches as he withdraws, already feeling wet just at the feel of his mouth on hers.

He gave her a cocky smile before opening the door and stepping out. She bite down at her lips and stuffed the stuffs into the bag. Okay she needs to get a grip on herself. it’s just a friggin dinner date Selene!.

Her own side of the door opens and she dropped the bag on the passenger seat before stepping out. He shut the door close and it was his usual formal self, acting as though nothing happened in the car minutes ago. She run her palm down her hair. She was glad that even with the feeling that her life was a boring mess, she was lucky to have him- damn lucky.

Zach watched the conference meeting go on with little interest. They were pointing out the possibility that the company fame might dwindle if it goes on the way it is. Zach had become negligent as the CEO and it was getting pretty bad.

“Mr Campbell” one of his female board members calls and he cocked his brows.

“We know this might seem a little bit pushy, but we suggest you give yourself a break. We suggest you leave Michael to run things for the time being. We also have shares in the company Campbell and whatever affects the company, affects us too” The whole members nods their head in agreement.

Zach scoffs angrily. “We?. woah!… So y’all have been saying things in my absence huh?” He raises his voice a notch as he stared at the woman who had suggested it.

“Mr Campbell…” She starts but he cut her off with a glare.

“Now listen up all of you…” He yells watching as shock crossed their faces. “I am the ceo of this company and it would remain so. Michael or no one here is taking over as the CEO okay!. I can handle my company well!… and I don’t need any of you to do so for me!” He fumes and pushed to his feet.

“Where you off to Campbell” Michael, stout and bulky asks in surprise.

“I’m getting the fuck out of here Micheal… abort whatever stupid plans you have in over throwing me okay!…. this meeting is over!” He grits before storming out of the office.

Hell he knew they were shocked at his behavior. He’s never acted this way towards them. He stormed into his office to see Stacey sitted at the couch and sipping a glass of drink.

“What are you doing here Stacey” He groans and he slumped down his seat.

“What does it look like I’m here for!” Stacey hissed as she got off the couch.

“Those assholes I have as board of directors!, what guts!. They want me to step down as CEO and let another person claim the responsibilities!… No motherfucking way!” Zach reached for her glass of wine and chugged it down.

“Why do they want that?” She queried. He shakes his head and stalk to the cabinet.

“They feel the company reputation is dwindling cos I don’t handle it the way I do…. that’s stupid!” He pours himself a glass of vodka and chugs it down his throat.. Stacey sighs.

“They are right Zach, you haven’t been paying attention to your company…. and Selene is the sole cause of it. She trapped you with her evil powers Zach and don’t be surprised if she’s the cause of your company’s status” A dark shadow crossed Zach features and he turned to her.

“Then I’m gonna make her pay Stacey, for making me this way!. Those powers she’s got wouldn’t be able to save her. by the time I’m done with her” He sits the glass back on the counter and heaves. She nods her head in satisfaction

“I met up with Wayne last night and I told him about Selene. He seemed really angry and told me to back out from whatever I’m doing… He also told me to stay away from him!… hell I feel like strangling her right now!, she’s used her powers on Wayne!…. I’m sure of it!” She seethed.

“Being angry isn’t gonna help Stacey, we need to do something…. it looks like we aren’t going anywhere with our plans” Zach sighs and returns to his seat. A bitter chuckle escapes her mouth.

“Your right Zach…. and I think I know what to do… I’d start by severing whatever thing is going on between them” She fold her arms and chuckled softly.

Gwen watched Selene as she touched up her makeup. It was evening already and it looked like she was going on a date. She looked really sexy, in the black dress she wore.

She smirked, without anyone telling her she new who she was going out with.

“Let me help you brush down your curls” Gwen tells her and takes the brush from her.

“Thanks” She gives her a smile.

“You like him don’t you” Gwen muses after some time. Selene furrows her brows at her.

“Oh c’mon ma’am… I can see it all over your face. you’re glowing differently so you don’t have to lie about it” She taunts and Selene chuckles.

“I do Gwen… but I’m just scared” She breathe out sadly.

“Huh?…. are you scared he might not see you the same way you do….. No one would refuse to be with you selene. You’re Miami’s hottest bitch remember” She rolls her eyes and they laugh.

“Not that… I just feel like things may not go on the same way. Good things don’t last Gwen” If only she knew of her revenge. The blood she’s wasted them she’d understand perfectly.

Gwen drops the brush and clucks her tongue.

“I’m certain this is gonna last Selene… you guys look perfect each other and from the way Wayne looks at you…. I’m sure he sees you the same way. Enough about this talk, focus on tonight” She winked mischievously and Selene giggles.

“It’s just a date Gwen stop getting silly thoughts into your head.” She gets off the office chair and smoothen down her dress. Gwen looks her down

“Damn… I’m sure no sane guy would be able to take his eyes off you.” Good grief!, how could someone have such large backside!. Selene chuckless nervously.

“I’d take care of the office…. get going girl” Gwen says tugging her towards the door. Selene breathe in before opening the door and stepping out. She watched Wayne whip his head at her direction and he’s checking her out, or eye raping her.

She stalked nervously to him just as her phone dings. Since she’s looking for the last guy, she checks any messages that is sent to her.

She pull out her phone and swiped at the screen. It was a message.

HEY GIRL, WANNA KNOW WHAT YOUR SECRETARY HAS BEEN UP TO?.

She frowned and scroll down her phone. The person had sent some pictures. She grips tightly to her bag as her eyes stops on the pictures. The same pictures Stacey had taken of her.

Her heart slammed rapidly against her chest and she whip her head up to stare at him in desbelief.

He’s been stalking her?….
