Lihat lebih banyakDim 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."Axel Neovallen. As far as I know, Axel is not dependent on anyone. Axel founded his company under his own name at the age of 19. I couldn't find his family background. But it's obvious that all his assets are registered in his own name," Damian replied. Selena stared at Damian for a moment and then looked back at Hendry. Hendry listened to Damian's answer, even though he really wanted it to be Selena. He expected Selena's answer rather than Damian's at that moment. "That's something we can't know but maybe Selena, as the person closest to him for some time now, you should know a lot about Axel, right?" Hendry looked at Selena as he sat back on his chair and raised his eyebrows. "Not really. I think I do know a lot about him. However, I really didn't know he had his own company. I didn't know he was that rich. I know he has a lot of money at his young age, but I really don't know where he got it from. All I know is that he's a rich kid, who's separated from his parent
"I have known your father for a long time, and I have also worked with him for a long time. To this day, there are some connections between me and your father. However, our relationship is not as good as it used to be. Especially since you came along," Hendry replied. Selena frowned. His presence made the two of them no longer on good terms? Her mind wondered if that was a good thing or not. "Ah, actually you don't affect much. It's just that I've been reluctant to have contact with him again in recent years because he can no longer be trusted." Hendry tried to make his point clear. Damian furrowed his brow. From what he knew, his father was no longer on good terms with Selena's father. And he also only knew Derek briefly. What he remembered was that Derek had come to his house several times when he was very young. "I don't understand how Selena could make your relationship with Derek deteriorate. Selena didn't even know anything about her father before," Damian
"It's time for bed," Damian said, glancing at the clock. "I'll sleep with Grace tonight. I have a lot to talk to her about." Selena glanced at Damian and immediately looked at Grace. Grace instantly raised her eyebrows, looking at Selena with a bit of confusion and tension. Because Damian's expression didn't seem happy with Selena's sentence. She also didn't know why Selena suddenly said something like that. "No, you'll sleep with me as usual," Damian refused firmly. "There's still plenty of life left to sleep together. Besides, when we get married, you'll have me in your bed every day, right? Are you sure you won't get bored?" Selena snorted and crossed her arms, looking lazy to engage Damian. Hearing Selena's blunt words made Damian raise his eyebrows in disbelief at what he was hearing. He shook his head and chuckled softly. His mood instantly improved and flowered. Even his face looked a little flushed there. Meanwhile, Grace and Luca were even surp
Selena was surprised to hear the gunshots and worried for the safety of Damian who was still outside. He shouldn't have gotten out of the car. Because of his worry for Selena, he was now endangering himself and making Selena worry. However, the gunshots were not directed at Damian and were instead directed at his enemy. The man was still on the ground pointing his gun towards the bushes. After giving the shot, Damian and his personal driver immediately ran into the restaurant. And Selena immediately broke out of the siege of Damian's men around her. It just so happened that their defenses were a little shaky because Damian ran in and they tried to protect Damian from the inside. Axel was a little surprised to see how Selena ran towards Damian. His face couldn't mask his jealousy when he saw Selena hugging Damian and Damian hugging her too. The two of them seemed to have been through a lot together. This wasn't the first time Axel had seen Selena blatantly choose Damian. "Are you o
"Don't be so naive, darling. In fact, your father is in the same business as I am, if you're not comfortable with my work," Damian said. Selena sighed, she nodded to confirm Damian's words about her father. And she couldn't run away from it either. The fact that she was actually not much different if she had been consuming the proceeds of the business. "Yes, that's right. I've been enjoying my father's wealth lately anyway. I'm not better off at all. But still, it's a bit surprising. Because I thought, all business is real." Selena held her forehead. "If you've ever heard the line about why you ended up here, it's that you were dragged into a darker world. Because this environment is different from your previous environment. So, I hope you can adjust." Damian stared at Selena as he sat on the side of his desk, watching the girl sitting on his chair as she gently rubbed her forehead. Selena herself sighed again as she looked at Damian. She shifted the chair she wa
Selena held her seatbelt tensely, she really couldn't rest her eyes from looking ahead. The way Luca drove was beyond her mind. So far, all she knew was that Luca rarely drove. It seemed like he was only used in times like this. "Looks like they lost track of us now." Damian looked behind him, trying to find the car that would follow him, but he didn't see it at all. Luca started to slow down a little and took the car at a more leisurely pace, heading home. Selena looked at Damian, she still seemed to be in shock over Luca's driving. Realizing he was getting a stare from Selena, Damian turned to Selena and chuckled softly at her reaction which was quite adorable to him. "You look shocked and scared here." Damian reached out his hand, rubbing Selena's cheek with his forefinger, a very gentle gesture. "What exactly happened?" Luca asked. "The two men who were her father's subordinates seemed to be stalking Selena on purpose. I just felt that something was
