"What the hell? Let me go!" said Selena as she rebelled.
Several of Damian's subordinates now dragged her up from the bed and unfastened the chain that cuffed one of Selena's hands. Then two of them grabbed Selena's arms and pulled her out of the room. It was obvious that Selena was rebelling from the way she held her legs and tried to hold herself up as her arms were pulled quite roughly. She was dragged quite roughly like that to the outside of her room. In the midst of Selena's rebellion, her eyes kept stealing glances at the rather luxurious section outside her cozy room. The corridor looked clean, neat and beautiful. Selena was forced to keep walking. Until she was confronted by Damian's six women. Selena frowned as she stared at the six strange women in her head. And the six women were staring at Selena with a look that Selena couldn't interpret. Merry's eyes were fixed on Selena. The young girl she thought would unseat her. But it seemed Damian's words were very believable, about her only being a prisoner for Damian. "Let go!" said Selena half shouting, trying to defend herself. "Let her go!" said Damian, who had been walking behind Selena, moving in front of her. Selena was unceremoniously thrown to the floor. Damian then looked at Merry who seemed satisfied with what she saw. From the way the maid had dressed Selena, and Selena's rather messy hair, it was clear she was nothing special. "Is this what you want? Is it enough? I have to take care of it quickly, to get what I want back," Damian said as he looked at Merry. As if the way he was treating Selena right now was purely Merry's request. And Merry just nodded her head as she was about to get closer. However, Damian immediately spread one hand, indicating that she should not come closer. "Don't touch her, at all. She's my prisoner, she's mine." Damian gave Merry a sharp look. Merry growled at Damian's reaction and backed away. Selena, who was sitting on the floor, stared at them with furrowed brows. She was confused by the current situation. "Drag her back to the interrogation room. I need to get her to talk about her boyfriend." Damian then walked first. And his subordinates again pulled Selena's hand and forced her to walk after Damian. Rose looked at her with pity. Apparently, she was the only one who was sane enough. The other four besides Merry and Rose immediately whispered about Selena. In the interrogation room, Selena was again thrown around. Making her whimper softly and try to get up. As she rested on her knees and wanted to lift her ass higher, Damian's subordinates immediately held her shoulders to keep her sitting on her knees. Selena immediately looked up at Damian who was now turned back to her. "I'm not going to be kind to you. But I also won't be too harsh if you answer my questions earnestly and honestly. Do you know where Axel goes most of the time? He must have a place he goes to every day, maybe?" Damian asked. "I don't know. I'm his ex-girlfriend, not his guardian angel," Selena retorted irritably. And a hard slap landed on Selena's cheek. It took Selena's breath away for a moment and she hissed as she held her cheek, which felt hot and warm. Images of another man and woman appeared in her vision as she was slapped by Damian. You useless bastard! Why don't you just die? Why do you grow every year? Can't you just stop eating and die? Her eyes then glazed over. Her gaze met Damian's. Seeing Selena teary-eyed made Damian chuckle, which was amusing. "You want to cry? Cry, loudly! I'll record it and send it to Axel. Let's see how disturbed he is to see his little girl crying because of me." Damian chuckled. Selena hissed and sighed heavily. Trying to hold back the tears, she blinked her eyes to neutralize her mood and the heat in her eyes. "It's useless, he won't be bothered by anything that happens to me. I told you, our relationship isn't even good these days. He won't care about me!" Selena pressed. "Li-ar. Don't try to lie to me! You're pointing out that he gave you a clear briefing to deal with this situation. He probably told you about a chip he stole from me?" Damian raised his eyebrows. "I don't know what chip you're referring to. And are you stupid? How would someone just confess to their girlfriend that they stole something and tell their girlfriend if she's going to be in danger, then give a briefing. It makes no sense." Selena snorted, her voice a little shaky but she was calm enough. Damian just smiled at that as he shook his head lightly. "Should I force you to say something? Ah, yeah... I should have done this since yesterday. It's just that, because of your impudence after I was nice to you, you fainted. Do I have to give you another warning?" Damian reached out his hand to touch Selena's jawline. Selena's face turned away as soon as she was touched, she rejected Damian's touch. Damian raised one eyebrow and pulled his hand away. "Tie her to the chair again!" Damian ordered. And his men immediately moved quickly to get a wooden chair and brought Selena to sit there. Roughly, Selena's body was pulled and pushed by them as she struggled. And no matter how much Selena tried, she still lost. They sat Selena down, pulled her hands behind her back and tied them. Her legs were also tied to the chair legs. Selena grunted, she wasn't yet worried about what Damian would do. "You should know, this is just a warning." Damian glanced at his men who were lighting a candle there. Selena looked at where Damian was staring. "But I've spoken the truth. What else can I say?" Selena snorted in annoyance. "At the very least, I should get some valuable information." Damian then accepted the lit candle and approached Selena. Selena stared at him, not understanding what warning Damian was referring to. However, as soon as Damian tilted the candle just above Selena's feet, so that the melted wax dripped onto her feet, Selena hissed and gasped in shock. "Shh!" hissed Selena, her brow furrowed at Damian standing in front of her. "For the first time it might not hurt so much and just be a bit of a shock. But once your skin layer is thinned by burning little by little, with repeated drops of wax, it will cause quite severe burns." Damian explained how his warning worked. Selena stared at her foot, it stung a little but the pain only came and went. However, as one of Damian's subordinates picked up the wax droplets that had started to harden on Selena's feet, Selena widened her eyes as she realized what Damian was about to do."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
"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
"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
"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
"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
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
