"No wonder. It's better than not paying attention at all. Thank you," Selena said with a smile, because she hadn't been treated that well in a long time.
Luca just smiled. He felt guilty for involving Selena all this time. Which Selena herself seemed to be tired of all she had to deal with.Luca ordered donuts for Selena. As soon as it arrived, Luca quietly took the box of donuts and headed to the medical unit. Where he called Grace and the others. They all headed to Selena's room and it was an unexpected impromptu visit.Selena looked at them all in confusion. What's more when she saw Luca seemed to be on purpose. Because he ordered two boxes of donuts. It made Selena look at Luca full of question marks."You don't mind, do you?" Luca asked."I don't mind, it's just..." Selena hissed softly."Then let's just eat the donuts! I want them already!" complained Grace.In the end, Selena let them all in. Grace, her two friends and Luca, the four of themDamian and his men arrive at Axel's headquarters. Axel is enjoying his breakfast while reading a document. He looked like he hadn't slept for a few days, shown by his eye bags that were already quite blackened and almost burnt. "Sir!" A man moved quickly towards Axel. "You have to see this!" Axel turned to his subordinate and was silent for a moment. He stopped chewing right then and there and got up to follow his subordinate. He walked down the hallway of the building. And the alarm that went off made Axel realize that something was wrong right away. Axel arrived at the supervisory control room, where the CCTVs of all the rooms in the building were. He looked at the CCTV of the lobby, where there were many strangers. Axel approached and frowned, he looked at one of the people in different clothes. Damian. Damian stared at the CCTV, as if he knew Axel was watching him there. He took out a handgun from under his jacket
"We have nothing to talk about. Get out of my way, all I want is Jovan," Damian retorted. Damian looked at Jovan who looked a little panicked. He didn't need to bother catching him because once he arrived, Jovan himself seemed to have been locked up by Axel earlier. And Axel's guess was right. If Damian had come for Jovan, it was because right now his only business was with Jovan. Damian seemed to forget that Selena was Axel's business too at that moment. "That means we have something to talk about. I'll give Jovan to you, you want him for revenge, right? But before that, give Selena back to me!" said Axel. "Why would I do that?" Damian raised his eyebrows calmly. "Hey! Don't act rashly! Axel, think carefully about what you're doing! You want to trade me for that girl? That girl has no special use for you. She's just like any other girl if you date another girl. It's not like you're going to lose anything!" Jovan spoke up, his breathing sounding heavy.
Selena is pregnant. That sentence kept spinning in Axel's mind. He really didn't know what to do next. His world seemed to be crumbling. The smell of carbolic acid lingering in his nose made his mood even more uncomfortable. Many of his men were seriously injured due to Damian's sudden visit. Fortunately, all he wanted was Jovan. Once he got what he wanted, he left. Meanwhile, Axel is now waiting for Jenny who is being treated for a gunshot wound to her leg. Axel rubs his face, downcast in the waiting hallway. Meanwhile, at night, Selena hadn't slept that night. She was reading some books that Grace had brought her. Grace didn't know exactly what Selena needed. However, when she saw some books in her room, and found out Selena had finished reading all of them, she thought Selena needed a new book and probably loved reading. "No, I hate reading actually. It's just that since I've been here, I don't know what to do, so I read these books. Some I repeat, because I r
Damian left Selena in a huff after hurting her. Selena stared at Damian's back as he walked out of her room. Until Damian disappeared, she just stood rigidly in her seat. For all she knew, Damian hadn't exchanged her for Jovan, but she had Jovan now. So what was Damian so upset and angry about? That was still the question on Selena's mind that night, until she couldn't sleep for thinking about what Damian had said. As soon as morning came, Selena noticed the front yard. She looked at Damian who had come out again that day. However, this time Damian did not glance towards his room. He seemed to be in a hurry at the moment. "Selena?" Grace opened the door to her room and looked at Selena. "Yeah?" Selena immediately replied."Come on! Today, I'll take you to the mansion's garden!" Grace invited excitedly. "Huh? Is that okay?" asked Selena while looking at Grace, she looked happy. "I didn't ask permission from Master. But that's okay. You're with me, so
"You've been avoiding Selena lately. Shouldn't you start talking about how to move forward?" Luca asked while tidying up some files. It's true, if it's been a few days, Damian doesn't seem interested in Selena anymore. He didn't call her to the bedroom anymore, didn't greet her when he met her at the mansion, and never spoke to her again. In fact, as Luca recalls, the two of them were fine after Selena gave clarity about Harvest. "Can you focus on work? Why do you keep talking about Selena?" replies Damian, he sounds unhappy with Luca's question. "Tell me, is there any news from the butler? She didn't come back after disappearing that day, it seems she went into hiding when she found out Harvest had been caught red-handed." "There is no news of the butler. Meanwhile, Harvest keeps asking to talk to you. Also, Jovan seems to be dying," Luca replied. Luca quickly changed the subject and started answering Damian's questions, because Damian didn't seem to want to tal
"This outfit is the best fit for the new dress wearer's body. Make a dress in this size!" Luca was in a boutique while giving Selena a pair of clothes. Garce tapped her forehead, she was told by Luca to steal one of Selena's clothes. And now Luca was using it as the benchmark size for Selena's dress. "You can bring her here directly, I don't think Mastwr will have a problem either. After all, Selena hasn't traveled in a long time and only spends time in the mansion, it's good for her mood to take her out," Grace said. "No, he won't do it." Luca shook his head as he hissed softly at Damian's completely incomprehensible behavior. Grace sighed. She was also measuring her body to make a new dress, she was happy of course because Luca was deliberately making a new dress for her, as well as inviting her to a wedding that would certainly be held lavishly. "By the way, have you heard what Master's decision is? He couldn't have killed the baby, could he?" she asked c
Selena didn't know the exact answer Damian wanted about who she would choose. However, she was a little worried that her answer would affect Axel or Jovan himself. Although, in the end she would still choose Damian, given her pregnancy at the time. "Good. Then, prepare yourself to go to a party. You must have never attended a party like this before. Don't mess it up. Also, you'll probably meet Axel there because he must have known that I was coming. He'll be hoping you go there with me." Selena frowned and looked at Damian a little confused. Did he want to reunite her with Axel or was he intentionally embarrassing her in front of Axel because of her pregnancy? "Fine," she replied. *** Axel looked at the information he had gotten from someone regarding Damian's activity schedule. As Damian had predicted, if Axel found out that he was going to a party and possibly bringing Selena with him. That made Axel stare at the wedding schedule. He wanted to meet Selena
That day, Grace wore a navy blue dress that matched Luca's suit. It really shows that they are a couple. Grace smiled sweetly at her own appearance in the mirror of Selena's room. She was waiting for Selena to be ready. Shortly after, Selena came out of her room, and showed herself wrapped in a dress that Luca had ordered earlier. It seemed that the dress was just the right size, adhering to her body shape and skin color. Not to mention, she had also used makeup at that time. "Wow..." Grace looked at Selena with a wide smile. "Don't give me that expression!" Selena pouted slightly, as if she wasn't used to Grace's reaction back then. Grace then laughed. "You're amazing. That's a compliment, you know!" "It really fits my body. I don't remember ever having my body measured before." Grace paused for a moment and gave an awkward smile. There were a few things she actually did for that, without letting Selena know that they were preparing a dress for her. Even though she knew tha
Without lingering in the room full of people, Axel took Selena out of the room, both of them standing on a balcony. They were the only two there. Selena seemed relieved to be able to meet Axel and Axel quickly found her. "Wow, this is such a relief. Jian just left me as soon as a man approached her, whispered and then pulled her hand away. How rude! Does he have no manners? Jian is with me, right? He should have at least asked permission and said goodbye!" chided Selena. Selena expressed her frustration. While Axel looked at her steadily, he stared at Selena as if he would never look at her again or even never look at her at all. The smile on his face painted a picture of how happy he was to see Selena on a show like this. "Tsk, bitch!" Selena was still grumbling to herself. Her arms raised, Selena took a sip of the drink she had taken from the waiter who had brought her a drink. Then, she frowned as she stared at her glass in confusion. S
After rejecting Axel, Selena brooded in her room with the television on. She ate the food she had just bought while thinking carefully about what she had said to Axel. What she felt was that she was different from her old self. However, she also felt that she was the same as before. She was just an opinionated girl who was firm in her decisions. Although sometimes she always felt like she needed someone to be by her side. This time, things were a little different. She didn't have to work hard and think about money. "I'm bored..." muttered Selena. Selena spent her time watching some movies she had wanted to see before, while eating snacks. She had been eating a lot lately, but didn't realize that she had gained weight. Her cheeks were even thicker than when she left Damian's mansion. At midnight, Jian returned to the apartment. She found Selena had not slept and was engrossed in her snacks and watching. "You're not sleeping? You're even eating snacks at this
Derek's words managed to make Damian think about his words on the way home. . How could he not? Derek had mentioned that there was something wrong with him that Selena had left him. And what was wrong with him? "What's wrong with me?" Damian asked as he glanced at Luca who was next to him, sitting and looking questioning as usual anywhere and anytime. Luca turned to Damian with a hint of doubt on his face. He glanced at the street for a moment, thinking about what kind of answer he could give Damian. "Actually, it's just because of our different backgrounds. We run a legal company with an illegal business, so the way we deal with the problem is certainly not so morally minded. Selena, on the other hand, is just an innocent citizen who probably doesn't even know where and how businessmen like you operate," Luca explained.Damian could understand Luca's statement clearly even though Luca didn't say it in detail. Clearly, Selena was probably more informed and underst
Damian held Selena's clothes in his mansion. He inhaled until he found the scent he usually found from Selena. It seemed crazy, but that was Damian's current state. He's crazy because he hasn't found Selena for the past few days. His obsession makes him now have to vent his longing for Selena using unusual means. Like this moment. Selena's abandoned clothes are the only thing he intentionally uses to fulfill his own fantasies. He longed for that slender body in his hands. He desperately wanted to hold her again like she was his. "Where are you, Selena? Where exactly are you hiding from me?" Damian growled softly, closing his eyes quite tightly, hinting at his current frustration. "Uh... Ohh..." In the bathroom, the sound of him moaning could be heard. Trying to vent all his longing alone. He missed her unilaterally. He had no idea that everything he did would be connected to Selena and haunt her. Having managed to let go of everything he wanted to let go of,
"It makes no difference if you keep seeing me!" Selena grumbled as Damian interrupted her first day of freedom, even somewhat forcing her to eat ice cream together that afternoon. Damian accepted two ice creams. They were near the ice cream food truck and sat on a street bench. Damian thrust the ice cream at Selena, watching Selena who was still pouting as if she was reluctant to see him at all."It's obviously different," Damian replied as he savored the ice cream from the cup he was holding after Selena accepted another cup. "It's the same as us not breaking up." "Did we break up? Did we have a committed relationship before?" "Not really, anyway." Selena snorted as Damian said something that left her cornered and a little embarrassed that their understanding of their relationship was different. Selena looked at the ice cream in front of her. It reminded her of when Damian did some bad things to her. However, she didn't feel scared or traumatized either
"Selena!" Angela's joyful scream greeted Selena as she entered a sizable and luxurious house. She was also greeted by the servants who looked after the house. Selena looked confused at Angela and the servants who welcomed her. Even so, she smiled slightly to see Angela so cheerfully welcoming her. All Selena could feel was that the little girl didn't know anything, she was still naive about this. "Hello," greeted Selena kindly to her sister. "Sorry, Angela's attitude is too neutral to have anyone to hate. It's different with Arsella. Arsella... I hope you understand," Derek said with a subtle smile at Selena. "We're the same age, we're no longer children and we're adults. I understand." Derek was a little disappointed when he looked at Selena who didn't seem to have any intention of a close relationship, and was probably just using her as a foothold to get out of Damian's mansion. Even so, he thought this was better than having to go through Damian and
'She doesn't want me anymore.' Damian looked directly into Selena's eyes, trying to find a lie but what he found was her earnestness. Something that made him feel angry, upset, even visibly disappointed. "Please, I just want to be free. You took away my freedom all this time," Selena pleaded. "I love you, that's why I did it," Damian replied quickly. To hell with prestige and shame, Damian was currently using every means possible to keep Selena by his side, to keep her from going anywhere. And if Selena was a gentle and understanding person, just as she wanted to stay because of the child she was carrying, then the way he had to use was to gain her understanding. The moment Damian spoke of love, Selena frowned. It was as if she no longer believed in love. And what she saw in the ring Damian was currently offering were handcuffs that would continue to shackle her life. She had been oppressed all this time under Damian.
Damian frowned in disbelief at what he heard from Selena's mouth. Damian was quite provoked by what Selena said. Selena's recent behavior had indeed managed to make him feel annoyed. But considering her alarming condition, Damian tried to restrain himself. Now, in his eyes Selena was getting too much. "What makes you so brave to say that? Is it because you know who your father is and you feel that there is someone who will help you? You feel that your father will treat you well?!" Damian raised his voice even higher. For a moment, there was silence between them. Selena turned her face away, avoiding Damian's gaze. She still seemed unsure of her decision, but this seemed to make her even more certain. Selena uncovered the blanket on her lap. "Maybe so. The only one I can trust to protect me is my father. You should be self-aware, how can I trust you for what you've done so far?" Selena got up from her bed. She seemed to be about to avoid Damian who she still
For now, all Selena needs to think about is her health. She just needs to rest for the next few days. After being discharged from the hospital, Selena rested in the company of Damian who moved all his work to her room. Damian is currently like an overworked husband, so even when he is in the room, he is still working. "What's wrong, do you want a snack?" Damian realized that Selena was now staring at him steadily. "No, I was just thinking about something else," Selena replied. "Don't think about other things, just think about your health first!" Damian said. "I'm no longer pregnant now. You don't have to be responsible anymore," Selena retorted. Selena's thoughts made Damian stop his eyes at a word on the document he was reading. It just so happened that the word was 'disconnect' although there was a follow-up, 'work'. What a coincidence that Selena was thinking the same thing. "What are you really thinking about?" Damian lifted his face and looked dire
