Chapter 226 - Genius 226: Selena's dress

Genius 226

"Breath in," sucking as much air as she can breathe, Selena closed her eyes, next to her was Anders sitting on a yoga mat with legs crossed and wrists on his knees.

"Breath out," she exhaled slowly.

They did the action repeatedly, and as the time passed and Selena's mind cleared up, she opened her eyes.

She looked at her side where Ander's was sitting. Looking at his face with eyes closed peacefully, Selena's head tilted. The pimples on his face have cleared up since they moved to London, and now without his glasses, he looked better than Kirby.

Selena pouted her lips while her eyes narrowed. He was the only person who has so much patience for her, he was so gentle and soft-spoken like his sister.

She lifted a hand and poke his nose. When he opened his eyes, Selena smiled.

"So, my mind is calm, can we please go back home?"

After she saw what happened between Camille and Daniella on the internet, Selena urged her uncle to bring her home but Matthew said that the Villa was in a mess right now and it's not a good time to be around.

Anders's eyes gloomed. They haven't told Selena that the engagement between Evan and Daniella have been cancelled, the girl will surely be heartbroken especially now that her dress was done.

He blinked and looked away. Matthew said that she can only come home once she knew how to manage her patience that's why they were doing yoga and a lot of exercises that will be beneficial for her mental state.

"I miss Daniella, for sure she's also excited to tell me the story of what happened in the police station," Selena got up, walked one step towards him, bent her body and slowly shook his shoulder with her hands.

"I will be good. You know me better than anyone Anders."

Her voice pleading and promising to be good has weakened Anders defence. He sighed and grabbed her hand, pulled her down to sit.

Now that they're seated face to face, he gulped hard.

"There's something we didn't tell you."

Selena blinked, with his serious face, she started to worry.

'Did they postpone the wedding?'

'What about my dress?'

Her tongue itched to ask those question but since she recently learned how to control herself, her mouth shut by itself.

"Your uncle and Daniella have broken up."

Selena's jaw dropped in shock. So shocked that her body stiffened.

Anders bit his lips. 'Maybe it's too early to say?' he suddenly regretted spilling the news to her. He knew how much Selena loved Daniella, even though the two have done nothing but argue.

Lifting a hand, he touched Selena's shoulder. The girl's eyes were wide in surprise, lips parted in a size that hundred flies could enter.

"Selena," slowly and softly, he called out her name, afraid that she suddenly got a heart attack or stroke.

"What-" speechless, all she could do was to stare at Anders's eyes.

This what Anders was so afraid. Those two a.d.u.l.ts might have broken up and their mature hearts knew how to heal but a pure and fragile heart of Selena won't be able to handle such heartache.

"What about my dress Anders? It was specially made for a garden wedding! How long do I need to keep that dress in my closet before uncle Evan gets married?" her voice was panicking; her eyes were wide like she lost the most precious thing in her life.

Anders blinked, dumbfounded by her reaction.

"Maybe Matthew can get married before Evan," he stated, recovering from the shock.

With disgust and disbelief on her face, Selena got up, hands rested on her h.i.p.s, while her legs raced one another walking around the house.

"Oh God! My dress! No, it can't be!" her head shook in disbelief, hands on her h.i.p.s travelled all the way up to her hair and pulled them hard. Her head started to throb with pain.

What to do? What to do?

She asked herself. She has been imagining herself in that aisle. All eyes on her special Kirby and now her dream will never happen. Her uncle Evan was hopeless and so as her uncle Matthew. She can only wear a bridesmaid's dress if one of her friend's family decided to invite her. And with her attitude, she believed that her uncle will need to bribe someone to take her.

She stopped and one after another blew a sigh. She won't be able to solve her problem with her chaotic mind. So, she sat back on her mat and continued taking slow breathing.

"Breathe in… breathe out," she blew a sigh, a long one to remove the heavy problem in her mind.

Anders sighed in relief. Seemed like the yoga session has somehow helped Selena learn how to calm herself.

As he was about to close his eyes, a scream exploded.

"ah!!! This is so annoying!!!"

Anders blew out a sigh, with narrowed eyes, he watched as Selena kick her feet in the air. Seemed like he will need to beg for his ancestor to give him more patience.

The sun setting lighted up Evan's office in bright orange. It's neither warm or cold, while Evan's face remained dark. It's been weeks since Daniella disappeared. No one knew where she was if she was safe or in danger. Even her friends didn't know where she was, not even Robert.

Staring blankly at the paper full of numbers, Evan sighed. He has been working all the time, from the morning until the afternoon. He will only get up to eat or go to the washroom. For weeks, his schedule was the same, he didn't smile even once, his face didn't change its emotion, like a robot.

A had a huge hole inside of him was left after she disappeared; he missed her every day.

He rose his head and stared at the orange sun, he suddenly wondered what could have happened if he didn't meet up with Arthur and made that decision, maybe, she will be in his office now, with her smile as bright as the sun outside, the type of smile that can make his tiredness disappear. He smiled bitterly by that thought.

As he leaned his back at his chair, his eyes closed, palms rested on the armchair. He sniffed but her scent was no longer around, he couldn't smell that flowery scent anywhere not even in her apartment. It was as if she never existed.

When his eyes opened, the sadness lurked in his face. He missed her so badly, but he can't even find her. Bing has used all the means to find her but she's nowhere, not even Robert could find her.

He sat back straight and picked up his pen, this was the last doc.u.ment he needed to sign, and he wished there will be more so he can have an excuse to stay. After signing the paper, his hand froze, eyes stared dumbstruck at the paper on his table, seemed like he has been thinking of her so much that he wrote down her name instead of his signature.
