Selena 

“Where is Theo?” 

I turned to my side at Josh’s voice and a smile crossed my lips. We sat in a cafe, the walls made of glass to allow you see through. 

“He went to a little store across, he should be coming back soon.” I placed the spoon of chocolate ice cream in my mouth and moaned when it hit my tongue. 

“Why would he go there?” Josh asked.

“To get me a chocolate cake. I saw it when we were coming, it looked so good..” I murmured, the thought of being able to taste the cake soon twisted my heart with happiness. 

Josh rolled his eyes.. “Shouldn’t you be careful of taking so much sweet? You are pregnant for cr—”

“You saw the guy right? Do you think he’s dead? There was a large pool of blood on the floor, his white shirt was covered with red .” The girl who entered the cafe with another said, "Their faces looked pitiful to whoever they saw.”    

My ears pricked at their words. Something suddenly didn't feel right. 

“I think he is dead, you saw how the nurses looked when they gathered him.”

“Even on the floor you could tell he isn't a normal citizen.” 

A chill gripped my heart and before I knew it, I was already on my feet, sprinting towards the young girls. 

“Hey..” I said, adrenaline spreading all over my bones. “Where did this happen? And can you describe him? Like what he was wearing?” I asked, all the questions flowing out. 

They stared at me, surprised and I wondered if they recognised me..

“At the cake shop across the hideaway. White shirt and maybe something like blue pants. He is really tall and has long dark hair and…” 

That was it. 

I ran out of the cafe. I could hear Josh calling after me. My eyes seemed to blur the more I ran, something gathering on them, my stomach hurting badly…

Please let it not be him….

It can't be…

But the blue pants and white shirt were picked by me. I wanted him to wear something different from his usual black clothes. 

please…

Tears streamed down my cheeks as I crossed the street, honks blared at me as I entered the next street. 

The more I walked in, the more people gathered, and the more my heart raced. And finally I got to the crowd.

They had said it….The girls hinted that it was Theodore. 

Though I didn't want to believe it, a part of me already started living in it as I ran down… but seeing Theo on the floor…this way…. was something nothing could prepare me for. 

Blood…His blood.

A sharp pain tore through my stomach as I pushed through the crowd to get to him. It felt like an alarm was ringing in my ears as I watched him on the floor, his eyes closed, his hands wrapped over the bag of cake…

Please let this be a dream, please.

“Theo..Theo…” It was difficult to speak, my voice was choked.. I could hear voices around me, asking me to go back but I couldn't…not when he was like this…

I needed to touch him…he was still alive..please….

My hands are suddenly grabbed and I'm pushed back.

“Go away, he is dead, Can't you see?” The male yelled and my eyes zoomed in on him..

“Ethan…..?” What was he doing here and in a white coat…

“Are you happy now? He died because of you! His blood is on you!” Ethan yelled. 

That means it was true?

No…no…

I placed my hands on my head…

No. 

No No.

…..

“Selena!” 

I snapped open my eyes at the loud familiar voice, my throat tight and painful as the new environment slowly registered in my brain. And then Theo. 

“God..” I murmured. 

“What’s wrong, Selena? You are crying.” Theo asked, his eyes worried and concerned as he stared at me. 

His fingers reached for my face, and he wiped away the wetness. 

Theo was alive. It was just a nightmare. He was here with me.

“Whatever you saw must have been shocking, can you share it with me?”He asked, his voice soft as always.

Looking around now, outside was bright. It was daytime so why was I still seeing things like that like it was night?

I swallowed and shook my head..

“It was just a dream,” I whispered against his palm cupping my face. “I’ll tell you later. For now, please hug me?” I asked, staring at Theo’s green eyes. 

He nodded and pulled me closer into his arms and I sighed when my hands wrapped around his back, his smell engulfing me. 

It was just a dream. That was all. 

Theodore was safe and sound. I nodded against his shoulder.


“You mustn't go out today no matter what,” I said for the tenth time as I rested my head on Theo’s thighs, my eyes closed. 

“I won't,” Theo replied for the tenth time. His fingers were on my brows, smoothing them. He said I was frowning. 

I didn't tell him what I dreamed of. I didn't want to as it might become true if I voiced it out. 

Theo was supposed to go to the company today. He was still in the process of handling everything over. 

When he told me about it being announced in his circle that he was dropping the position for his cousins, I was shocked. And then I tried to speak to him about it, but Theo insisted. 

His words were…

“Stepping away from everything will keep you safe Selena. I want you and our child to be safe.” 

I kept trying to speak to him, but Theo was set on leaving everything behind. 

“Are you still worried about me stepping down from the company?”

I opened my eyes at his low tone. His fingers on my brows stopped as he stared into my eyes. 

I swallowed and shook my head. 

Maybe that was it?

Indeed I was worried about him being attacked now he was planning on leaving everything. Could that be the reason I had that dream? 

Maybe that was it…

“Nothing is going to happen to us, Selena. Though I stepped down, I’m still Theodore Mateo. And everyone knows not to cross me.”

Theo knows his powers, and maybe that was why I was more scared? 

To everyone now, Theo had stepped down, but behind the scenes he still had everything in his grip. His uncle Mateo won't allow him to give everything up, so Everything still belongs to Theo if he ever wants to go back. 

I sighed.

Just then the doorbell rang. 

“Haley must be here,” I whispered to him. Halley and I were going shopping today while Theo was supposed to go to the company. 

I started to stand, but Theo held my arm. 

“Then let me go with you, I’ll feel better seeing you around.” 

My eyes widened at his words, and the details of the dreams came rushing in.

He was with me in the dream.
