Merry sounded angry when one of them tried to provoke her. The reason was, she herself did feel rivaled as soon as she heard of the arrival of a girl in the empty room next door. She didn't see her directly, but the words of the other women managed to upset her because of the way they talked about the new girl.

Damian glanced at the angry Merry. And instantly, his desire for Merry tonight just faded away. Damian's moods were volatile, he was sensitive. And he was the laziest to deal with his angry or sulking woman.

"I don't want you anymore for tonight. Rose, go to your room!" Damian stared at the woman who was arguably the quietest among the others, who had finished her meal and was closing the dinner with dessert.

While the others were busy looking at Damian, Rose was still thinking about her own stomach. And for Damian, a woman on a full stomach was the calmest woman. He had learned enough about women in the 28 years he had been alive.

And Damian's words managed to make Merry and the others fall silent. Rose, who was eating dessert, immediately put down her cutlery and got up. She didn't really show her surprise. Rose was also not really involved in Damian's punishment, she was quiet and rather shy. Damian disliked her a little because of her silence.

Damian headed to Rose's room with Rose. Merry stared angrily at Damian there. As gentle and sweet as she was, she was currently angry.

Before entering her room, Damian glanced at the already named room next to Merry's. Selena. He then turned around and approached the room. Rose followed Damian.

Damian opened the door to the room, and could see how Selena was still asleep on the bed. Either sleeping or still unconscious. He was still upset with Selena's behavior earlier. And he closed the door to Selena's room again and glanced at Rose.

"She looks so young. How old is she?" Rose asked.

"20 years old, turning 21 in two months," Damian replied.

"Ah, I see. She's the youngest one here right now," said Rose.

"Are you sad that your youngest title was taken away by her? She's not here to be one of you, my pet. She's our prisoner." Damian chuckled and led her to the room.

"Hahaha, not really. At 24 years old, I feel like I have a little sister. Merry seems to be upset about that girl."

Damian just smiled lazily. Merry, who was 31 years old, clearly felt excluded if Selena really became one of them. But Damian's clear opposition, if Selena was only his prisoner, allowed Merry to calm down a little.

Selena woke up from her sleep that morning. She groaned softly, her throat feeling dry again. Her head was dizzy, she still remembered the pain of the impact she had experienced. It was really bad. The man was merciless and ready to beat up anyone regardless of gender.

"Are you awake?" The maid entered her room, bringing a teapot and glasses.

The maid served Selena a drink. And Selena was about to accept the drink from the stranger. Until she realized as soon as she saw her hands, if she was chained. She thought she could move freely, but it turned out that there were chains binding her to the bed.

"Drink up!" The maid made Selena accept it and Selena immediately drank it with confusion and she looked at the maid suspiciously.

"Where is this? Who are you?" Selena's voice sounded very hoarse.

"In your room, Miss. I'm just a maid, don't mind my name, I probably won't serve you again in the future." The servant acted coldly and then left the room.

And another servant entered, bringing food. Selena frowned as the maid placed the tray on the nightstand and took a folding table to place the food in front of Selena. The waitress helped Selena up, Selena hissed as her head ached.

"Have breakfast first and then take some painkillers."

Selena wrinkled her forehead suspiciously. "It's not poisonous, right?"

The maid didn't answer and sat on the sofa, as if waiting for Selena to eat. Selena stared at the delicious-looking sandwich. The smell of the bacon that was the filling made her hungry too. She quickly devoured it. And as soon as she finished eating, the maid gave her some painkillers.

"This is strange. Yesterday I was treated like a thief, today I'm treated well," Selena protested.

Unfortunately, none of the maid here were friendly to talk to. They were all cold. And left as soon as their job was done. Selena grumbled under her breath.

"What the hell are they doing? Hey, are there still servants outside? My hands are chained, how can I go to the bathroom? Anyone, can anyone hear me?" Selena tried to tighten her voice.

And what she wanted to come didn't, what she didn't want came. Damian entered her room. The maid immediately closed the door from the outside and Selena was shocked to stare at Damian. Yesterday's events had traumatized her somewhat.

"Y-you? What else are you doing here? You're not satisfied with what you did yesterday? You paid me back, we're even now!" said Selena with a sharp look at Damian.

Damian looked at her with no expression on his face. He looked at Selena who sat leaning against the headboard.

"Your boyfriend gave me a reaction that I didn't want. That's why I came here to provoke him further." Damian stood by her bed.

"What? What do you mean?" Selena furrowed her brow and looked at Damian with some fear.

"Your boyfriend said he didn't want to make an exchange between you and my precious things that he has. So I wanted to show him a little bit what I can do with this precious thing of his," Damian said as he reached his hand around Selena's face, and gripped Selena's jawline.

Selena was silent for a moment and snorted.

"You still don't believe me? That means my words are true. Me and him have nothing to do with each other anymore and we're no longer involved with each other. Obviously he won't want to do the exchange you're talking about. I'm nothing in his eyes," Selena retorted.

"But not the way I see your relationship. Don't think that I'm not investigating everything, Selena." Damian shook his head, sticking to what he believed.

"Why do you insist? I told you, there's no point in kidnapping me and treating me badly or well!" Selena pressed irritably.

"Ah, you already think what I did yesterday was bad enough, huh? Actually, it was nothing. It was just a little warning. I'm going to have a little fun with you, to make Axel feel sorry for you."

Damian chuckled softly, his gaze darkening. His smile was horrible too, that's what Selena saw.

And as soon as Damian snapped his fingers, his subordinates entered the room and dragged Selena.

  • Become a Prisoner of The Mafia   Misunderstanding

    "What do you mean you can't find them at all?!" Derek snapped. He had tried to find any trace of Selena and Axel, but there was nothing left. How Selena and Axel had simply vanished, disappearing from circulation made him grunt in annoyance. He couldn't find them at all. Arsella stared at her father blankly. Somehow she felt very empty just because of the fact that Selena was currently missing with Axel. And Damian didn't move to look for them at all. It was rumored that Damian was busy taking care of his company and business. Even that afternoon, Damian was enjoying his time exercising at the gym. Knowing that this was supported by Damian as well, there was nothing they could do at all. *** "What did you do when you lived with your father?" asked Sabrina while looking at Selena who was eating her food quietly. "I just wasted his money. I shopped for things I wanted, I did everything I couldn't do before," Selena replied while enjoying her food. "M

  • Become a Prisoner of The Mafia   LDR

    "What do you mean you were ra-?" Sabrina was lost for words, she couldn't hear a word Selena said. It wasn't that she didn't know what had happened to Selena. She knew bad things were happening to her and that was the biggest possibility. However, if Damian got his hands on the video too, Sabrina was going to be furious. She gave Selena a serious look. "That bastard," Sabrina swore as she averted her eyes in annoyance. Selena didn't answer her mother at all. She glanced at Axel. Even though the video hadn't reached Axel, Axel had already experienced being there when Damian and Selena did it. It made Selena shudder a little to remember. She also didn't know why she was bringing it up all of a sudden. No, if only Sabrina hadn't talked about the reason why Selena was kidnapped to how she reacted when Damian sent her an email about Selena's kidnapping. *** There was no video. Damian didn't send that video to Axel. Not knowing if she should be relieved or wh

  • Become a Prisoner of The Mafia   That Video

    "If you feel discarded, I feel used. However, if you are discarded, then your mother will never find out about your life at all, or donate money to the orphanage. Your mother would not have sent me as an intermediary between you and your mother." Selena gulped. Her expression seemed to soften. This time, she sympathized with Axel who felt used for his mother's needs in providing for Selena."But believe me, I don't envy you at all. Because in my eyes, you're just another person I love. I don't care where you're from, as long as we're not related by blood. We're just like strangers who are destined to meet and fall in love with each other." Axel looked at Selena softly, his gaze hinting at many things, telling Selena that in this world everyone also experienced difficult times and pain. Trembling, Selena caught her breath. This made her melt a little and try to understand Axel's or her mother's position. She tried hard to understand both of their conditions. Howeve

  • Become a Prisoner of The Mafia   If You're in My Shoes

    "I've made plans about what you'll be doing while you're here. I hope you enjoy your time at home," Sabrina said. Sabrina said it as if nothing had happened between them last night. Making Selena stare at her mother with a confused look, of course she was surprised by what her mother said. Regarding the planned activities that Selena would do, Selena became curious about what she would do. Maybe her mother would show her how much money she had, all her assets and wealth would be given to Selena. However, given that Axel was present, it seemed that she would share with Axel about Sabrina's inherited wealth. "It's a kind of tour, which will introduce you to the neighborhood. Whenever you're interested in staying longer, you can decide what activities you can do," Axel explained. "I'm looking forward to it," Selena replied briefly. Selena's words were completely unexpected. She looked cold and empty when she said it, but at least it seemed better. She didn't re

  • Become a Prisoner of The Mafia   Trying to Get Her Heart

    "I haven't asked you how you're doing, have I? How are you doing, are you having trouble surviving out there without my help?" Sabrina shifted the conversation and tried to establish a personal interaction with Axel, it was clear that she was concerned about her adopted son's needs. "It wasn't that hard. I just had trouble dealing with Derek and his daughter. Arsella hated me and I tried hard, twice as hard to build trust with her." "But it looks like you managed to get her to trust you." "That's true." Axel nodded his head, talking about Arsella made him realize that he and Arsella had been interacting more frequently lately. Sabrina was silent for a moment. She didn't know how to get Axel to talk about Selena again. Mainly, about Axel's feelings for Selena. Axel is not as open as he used to be. Axel tends to suppress his feelings lately. Axel used to be very open with his feelings, but as he got older, he suppressed his feelings more."After this, what are

  • Become a Prisoner of The Mafia   Far Away from Him

    Selena looked down at her cell phone that was running out of power, quickly grabbed her charging cable and charged it. While waiting for her phone to be full, Selena looked at her room once more. This was like the room of her childhood dreams, having her own room with pink decorations, accompanied by the many items she always needed, this was quite complete. Some messages came into her cell phone, it was a message from Damian. She looked down at her phone and smiled at Damian who immediately confirmed her situation. Even though it was already late. It was a new message, but it was sent about two hours ago. Damian: Is everything safe? Are you okay? How was it over there? Damian: Ah, you seemed to be enjoying your time with your mom, so you forgot to update me. I'm worried. Selena immediately grabbed her still-charging cell phone and replied to Damian's message. Selena: I'm fine and everything is safe. Selena: I was eating just now, my mother welcomed me
