My Accidental Husband Is My Revenge Partner - Chapter 48

Let’s Watch A Movie
A frown settled on her face when she saw the name written on the property papers. It was Jeffery Clark.

“Who is Jeffery Clark?” She asked.

“Selene!” She heard Xavier’s name over the earpiece again, making her jolt. Selene immediately closed the document and kept it back where she saw it since it wasn’t the file she was looking for.

“I’m getting out,” she responded, striding towards the cleaning materials and picking them up before she left.

The secretaries didn’t bother to stop her just like when she went in.

She saw the private elevator for the CEO only open and Robert walked out while two bulky men followed behind him.

Immediately, Selene lowered her head as they passed each other. Robert glanced at the janitor whose head was lowered but didn’t pay any attention to him when his phone suddenly vibrated.

Both Selene and Xavier’s bodyguard stepped out of the building and entered the van.

“Did you find anything?” Kace asked as soon as she entered

Selene took off her spectacles, fake mole, and the wig.

“I didn’t see the property papers,” she said, disappointment evident in her voice.

“This only means that the property papers are at the Harrison mansion,” Kace concluded. “You are going to have to go there again,” he added.

Selene cleaned off her makeup before she replied, “I guess so. When I tried looking into his study room, he had locked it. I can only hope he doesn’t lock it again when I’m able to convince Michelle we hang out at the Harrison mansion instead.”

Selene went to the building with high hopes that she would find the property papers she had signed. She needed those papers to prove in court or to a lawyer that she had signed her property away and wasn’t trying to steal someone’s property. The weight of disappointment pressed on her shoulders but she didn’t want to give up yet.

“Are you alright? Were you hurt somewhere?” She heard Xavier ask.

She stared at him for a few seconds before looking away, shaking her head.

“I’m fine.”

Kace glanced between Xavier and Selene before he said, “Ito, let’s have a drink shall we?”

Ito, the man who had followed Selene inside the company nodded his head. “Sure, why not?” He understood that Kace wanted to give his boss and the unknown woman some privacy so he readily agreed.

Kace and Ito stepped down from the van. “The both of you can go right ahead. I will come later,” said Kace.

“Don’t bother, I need you to go to the office and check if any bad flowers are growing there,” Xavier ordered.

Kace read between the lines in the message and sighed heavily.

Go to the hideout and track down more kidnappers.

“More work,” Kace mumbled under his breath before he closed the door to the van.

It was only Selene and Xavier who were in the van now.

“I suddenly remember when my dad took both me and Michelle to the beach to have some fun. It was summer so everywhere was hot,” she said, looking at the people who were walking on the street. “Neither Michelle nor I could swim very well so we weren’t allowed to go deep into the beach. But Michelle wanted to try if she could swim that far. I followed her because I didn’t want anything bad to happen to her. At the end of the day, we ended up drowning,” she added.

Tears pooled in her eyes, but she immediately wiped them before they would drop.

“Michelle and I screamed for help. Michelle was a few feet behind me and I was the closest to the shore but I couldn’t swim back before my legs couldn’t touch the ground. We both screamed for help and our parents came rushing. They rushed past me to help Michelle out of the water. It was the lifeguard who saved me that day. Not once did they ask if I was alright, the only one they cared about was Michelle. She was their favored daughter. Instead of asking if I was alright, they reprimanded me for letting Michelle go that far into the water.

The hot tears she was trying to hold back streamed down her face.

“I’m sorry,” she suddenly apologized. “I know this is not important. My chest felt tight for a moment.”

Xavier placed his on hers, wiped her tears, and stroked her cheeks.

“You don’t need to apologize for anything. I’m glad you shared this with me,” he said.

‘Now I know how I will kill Robert Harrison after Selene is through with him,’ he thought to himself.

“Let’s go out?” He suddenly suggested.

“What?”

Xavier thought he might have said the wrong thing so he looked away, avoiding eye contact.

“Let’s go out?” He repeated, ready for her rejection.

Selene blinked at him.

“Or is there something fun you might want to do? Maybe watch a movie or go somewhere?”

“Let’s watch a movie at your house” she blurted out. “Going out now would be dangerous since I have some haters now due to the rumor,” she added.

Selene was lucky she didn’t have any official account where haters could barge into her DM and start threatening her.

Xavier smiled at her.

‘If only she knew I’ve already sued those people talking bad about her,’ he thought to himself, ignited the engines of the van, and drove towards the mansion.

Xavier got some popcorn ready while Selene went upstairs to change.

Upstairs, Selene was nervous and also excited about the fact she was going to be spending some time with Xavier.

She changed into comfortable clothes which consisted of baggy shirts and baggy pants. She checked herself out in the mirror to be sure there weren’t any black spots on her face.

“I think this is good enough,” she said as she turned around in the mirror. When she realized what she was doing, she paused.

“This isn’t right, I’ve gone mad,” she squealed.
