View MoreDim light filled the room. A girl who woke up from her stupor slowly opened her eyes. Selena, who was tied to a wooden chair blinked her eyes to focus her blurry vision. And her face slowly lifted up to recognize the place she felt unfamiliar with.
"Are you awake, Selena?" The heavy male voice made Selena, who was still limp, turn her head slowly towards the man. And found his form enjoying a cup of coffee. Selena hissed softly, feeling her whole body aching. She cast her eyes around the room again. "Where is this?" she asked in a weak voice, barely audible at all. "In the interrogation room in my mansion. I'm sorry the light is dim, because I like it not too bright for people like you." Selena hissed softly and straightened her shoulders. She looked very pale and unhealthy at the moment. Not to mention, this place didn't seem to have any sun at all so it was cold with humidity. "Who are you? Why did you kidnap me?" Selena struggled to ask. "I'm Damian, hello there." The man chuckled softly, playing up his answer a little. "I have no money, and no one will ransom me. You kidnapped the wrong girl," Selena said as she leaned back against the chair limply, her head feeling heavy and dizzy. "Not really. I kidnapped the right person." Damian shook his head slowly and watched Selena who was so weak, he looked at her with disgust and sadness. Selena frowned, not understanding what Damian was talking about. She really didn't have a large sum of money to redeem herself. And there was no one who would redeem her either. She had no family, and her boyfriend had left her for dead. She was a single girl struggling to survive on her own. And now she's being kidnapped by an unknown person out of the blue. Probably to be enslaved or trafficked. Because seeing how this man didn't seem like a good person. "What do you want from me?" Selena asked as she looked at him, her breathing sounding a little heavy. "I want to take you captive to lure your boyfriend's whereabouts," Damian replied. "Boyfriend? You mean Axel? Ah, he's not my boyfriend anymore. He wouldn't be interested in what I'm doing, where I am, what I'm doing, what condition I'm in, everything," Selena replied. "Oh, yeah?" Damian tugged at the corner of his lips, he couldn't believe what Selena was saying. Selena closed her eyes for a moment. Her neck was sore, her head was spinning and her body was aching. Damian got up from his seat and approached Selena. The sound of his steps was firm and echoed in the closed room. He touched Selena's jawline and lifted her face up to look at him. And he took his phone out of his pocket, taking a picture of Selena looking up at him. He ignored what Selena had said earlier, about her boyfriend or ex-boyfriend. "Did you get the briefing for this? To stay away from each other, to take care of yourself, to cover up the weakness inside him. You... are his weakness." Damian smiled and put his cell phone back in his pocket. After taking a picture of Selena's face, the one in his hand was thrown away so lightly. Selena turned her head the other way because of it. Selena raised her face again and looked at Damian. "What do you mean, why am I his weakness?" Selena wrinkled her forehead. "Because you're his favorite person," Damian replied. "I'm telling you, okay. I'm no longer his favorite person, and that's highly unlikely. He and I have no relationship whatsoever. So it's pointless for you to kidnap me," Selena denied. Selena denied it, she was a little upset that having just broken up with her boyfriend for a few days, she had to get involved with someone else because of a past relationship. What's more, this man in front of her is not a random person when it comes to kidnapping. Plus the reason for the kidnapping, he was doing this for a reason, meaning he had a purpose. "Don't try to fool me!" Damian emphasized in a rather low voice. "I'm not lying. I really did. Your attempt to kidnap me was just to get my ex's attention, right? I'm no longer in a relationship with him. It makes me hate him, why would I get involved in something I don't even know what it is?!" Selena snarled. Damian tugged at one corner of his lips. His eyes darkened as Selena spoke the words, because what he saw was a lie. "I'm never wrong, girl!" said Damian, emphasizing his sentence. "Oh, yeah? Then this time you're wrong, admit it!" retorted Selena raising her voice. "Let go of me now! I'm no longer related to him, dammit! He's-" Without listening to her anymore, Damian immediately put his hand around Selena's neck, making Selena look up and feel a pressure that hurt her throat. It was painful and excruciating. Damian's hand pressed down, causing her airway to close as well. "Khh... khh..." A snoring sound came out of Selena's mouth. Damian calmly took out his cell phone again with his other hand. And he again photographed Selena who was on the verge of death if Damian continued to close her trachea, resulting in a reduced oxygen supply to the lungs. This would lead to death in the near future. After being satisfied with the results of his photo, Damian pulled his hand away and smiled at Selena's interest who immediately coughed. Her cough sounded dry and also very painful. Her breath was instantly taken in gasps, scooping up the oxygen around her. "Taking a breath already? Air is too precious for a weakling like you." Damian chuckled as he bent his body to look at Selena. Selena looked back at him with an angry look on her face. She coughed again. Her throat felt very uncomfortable now. She needed water. "I... I need water," she said with difficulty. "Ah, water?" Damian walked away, and grabbed a glass of water. He returned and offered it to Selena. Selena brought her lips to the glass, she wanted to reach for it, her bound hands were useless as usual. "You can't drink like how I drink." Damian then poured the water in the glass over Selena's head, pouring a little to show how he would give her a drink. Selena widened her eyes, her head feeling wet now. Selena's gaze looked darkly at Damian. Not liking Selena's gaze, Damian immediately grabbed her jaw to make Selena throw her head back. "You don't want to drink? Do as I say!" commanded Damian. Selena opened her mouth, she needed that water. And Damian poured it with a smirk on his lips. Selena tried to drink, she stared at the glass, trying to see when the water would run out. And as soon as the last drop entered her mouth, Selena closed her mouth. Damian laughed with satisfaction as the water soaked Selena's shirt as well. And unexpectedly, Selena spit out the water that was in her mouth, the water that she had deliberately left to spit out on Damian.Returning from the hotel, Selena plays with her cell phone in the car. She texted Damian about what she did the first day after Sabrina's funeral. She was starting to feel like an important person now and not so lost in the grief of her mother's death. Selena: Today I visited the hotel. I spent the whole day at the hotel to look around the facilities and learn about the hotel as well. They said you've been to the Gallent hotel, right? Damian: Yeah, I've been there several times for different reasons. I didn't realize I was dating the family that owns the hotel." Selena chuckled softly at the message. It felt like she was starting to get a name for herself. She was no longer nothing if she could help her family manage the hotel. Arriving home when it was dark, Selena stared at the house that felt deserted. It was because Erick and his family had gone back to their homes. Likewise, Dixon and his wife had to return to their usual activities. They all seemed to just
Grandma looked at Selena's suggested solutions to the problems in the hotel. It may seem like a basic thing. But every problem that arises in a business is part of its future development.Managing a hotel isn't easy because it involves a lot of people. And if one of them makes a mistake, chances are that many people will have to deal with the consequences. So, the way one tackles a problem is a form of test given. "You didn't come up with anything creative. But the basic solution you want to give is conveyed here. You're a simple person, aren't you? You don't want to be bothered," Grandma muttered. Selena grinned nervously at her grandmother who didn't seem satisfied with Selena's suggested solution. It made her start to feel desperate. "Well, that's good enough. Read some of the news about the Gallent hotel that came out in the past month! You'll understand how famous the Gallent hotel is among people like Damian. Damian has also been here a few times." Gran
"If it becomes a gallery, you'll have to comply with whatever I want, and if it's not, I'll comply with everything you want," Axel put in. Selena looked at Axel with a doubtful look. She knew that Axel knew more than her. There was a lot she still didn't know about this world, about Damian especially. "Just tell me what you want first, I'll say I'll bet if I know what it is," Selena said, she didn't want to make this bet an opening for Axel. "I want you not to see Damian for three whole months, for whatever reason you can tell him. I wonder if he'll overthink it or not." Axel replied after thinking for a moment, he folded his arms while looking at Selena defiantly."Are you crazy? He'll probably find me soon, stalk me, or even kidnap me again," Selena swore. "I'd love to see him go crazy." Axel then laughed at his own joke. Selena snorted and nodded her head after considering it. "Alright, I accept the bet. If I do, I'll say my wish later." "Al
"You know, everything you see from us cannot be obtained easily. Do you realize that?" Grandpa looked at Selena with concern, his words sounding soft. "I know, everything we have can't be had the easy way." Selena looked at Grandpa with some doubt. Somehow the soft and gentle words went to her heart better than the jerks and insults. She agreed with her grandfather's words. "Therefore, I expect you to improve yourself. Sabrina is gone now. You should be able to provide for yourself. I hope you're not so dependent on Damian before he's officially your husband. It would bring shame to the Gallent family." Erick looked at Selena coldly. The man seemed to be just trying to make Selena understand what he meant. Although, he could not express what he meant. "Bro, can't you not put too much pressure on her? She's your niece who you've been protecting from murder," Dixon said with an amused laugh at the mention of murder. Selena furrowed her brow at Dixon's wor
