Her heart paused for a second, meeting those blazing eyes. The fear she had was taking over her.
Her feet automatically cut off their closeness as she moved back and stood in silence.
With her head lowered, she stared at the ground, making his bitterness worse.
He witnessed the cowardice in Selena.
It throbbed in his heart how she didn't even try to explain the situation.
The silence was like a white blindfold over his eyes, and she didn't even bother to unfold it.
Perhaps, she knew his reaction from the start. She understood his insecurities. Still, she didn't wish for a cage.
CHAPTER 01 - A DARE TO KISS People said that pairs came from heaven. In this universe, each has its destined love. You only need to find it. But was this really true or just a myth? But there was a guy who was sure that love was just a game. The game pulled you to the worst ending. Growing up with luxurious life, Shawn Vaughan had no shortage of anything. However, he somehow needed love and attention. During his teenage days, he fell in love with his own batch mate, who only seemed to be after his money. He didn't agree to break up with her, even after thousands of requests from his parents. The young love made him blind. B
CHAPTER 02 - KINDNESS OVER SELFISHNESS Today's inflation was taking her into a complex test where either she could choose herself or that old lady. Seeing the fees, Selena became worried when she remembered her mom's tips. She slowly bent down to the counter and looked at the nurse with a cute smile on her face. Her puppy eyes flickered, sending hopeful twinklers towards her. "Miss, can I get a discount, please? I don't have enough money, please." Knowing these simple tricks, the nurse started laughing. "Ma'am, we can't give a discount in the hospital. It's not a clothing store." Her
CHAPTER 03 - THE JOB OFFER His grandma's last wish was everything to him. Now he was looking for the girl who saved his grandma. He was ready to work day and night for this. In search, when he came out of the room, his eyes fell on the CCTV camera as he asked his manager. "Sam, help me to get the footage. I want everyone to find that girl." Following his orders, Sam went to the hospital management, but the response was quite different from what they thought. "Sir, the camera footage that you're asking about has not been working for the past few days. However, we have another camera in front. We can give you that footage, but it will take some time." "Please, try
CHAPTER 04 - AN EVIL DEMON A lady's voice echoed in the street, gaining everyone's attention. "Please, accept my proposal. I love you, Shawn." The guy seemed to get rid of the lady as he shouted. "STAY AWAY FROM ME. I TOLD YOU ALREADY I'M NOT INTERESTED IN YOU." Despite his harsh words, the lady didn't move back. In fact, she tried to come closer, which forced him to push her. "AGH!" But before she could fall, Selena caught her hands. Being concerned, she asked. "Ma'am, are you okay?" Seeing someone's sympathy for her, the lady shed crocodile tears. "The
CHAPTER 05 - THE DEMON IS HER BOSS "Good morning, Sir. I'm the one who got accepted as your new assistant." Sitting on the chair while facing the window, he was reading her details. When the room filled with his laugh, making her puzzled. "Is he physio?" she thought. But soon, when he turned around, her face was no longer cheerful. It turned pale as if someone saw a ghost. "Welcome to the Vaughan group, Miss Selena." Her eyes popped out of the socket as she choked in the air. "Y-you?" Narrowing his brows, he smirked. "Yes, me. The one who you cl
CHAPTER 06 - LOVE AT THE FIRST SIGHT With every step, Selena was holding her breath as if her death was near. The glow on Misty's face was clearly a warning of the storm. But there was another kind of storm in Selena's heart. Her heart skipped a beat when Shawn glanced at him. His pissed face sent shivers down her spine. Arching one eyebrow, Misty pulled Shawn's arm and pointed her finger at Selena. "Brother, fire her. I don't want to see her anymore." Selena's breath choked in the air as her eyes widened, and her gaze shifted to Shawn with a begging look plastered on her face. Her fingers crossed automatically, hoping he might reconsider her. When Shawn's gaze fell on he
CHAPTER 07 - HER BITTER PAST Selena was standing outside the office. For the last half an hour, she was roaming here and there, waiting for the taxi. Her very first day in the office was a bit sour and sweet. From that troublemaker Misty to romance in front of all the office people, everything was exciting for her. Her cheeks were blooming more than a flower. The whole day she was feeling a little uncomfortable. The moment with Shawn was not allowing her to relax even for a moment. That moment was now written in history as well as in every office staff member's heart. No one could forget how Selena's fragile body fell above his muscular figure. Their eyes were playing archery, attacking each other's hearts.
Her eyes were filled with tears, and her heart was broken like a stone smashed into pieces. She was watching the two of them fighting, but why? Did she mean anything to them? On one side, it was her new boss, while on the other, her toxic ex. Shawn pushed him away when he punched him in the face, causing a wound near his lips. Frightened, Selena didn't know what to do? Thus, she pulled Shawn by her side and came between them. "Stop, you two." Her voice cracked in between her weeps. "Mark, I have nothing to do with you. Let me live my life peacefully. Whatever we had is now a dark past. I don't want to jump in it again." Turning her head, she glanced at Shawn as a few glares exchanged with Mark before he left with Selena.
