Jovan looked down at Selena who was sweating coldly there. He sighed softly, quite distraught over what had happened so suddenly. The rapid change in atmosphere made it difficult for him to make quick decisions and think about what might be beneficial.
His one partner was dead and he and his remaining partner were now cornered inside the stopped helicopter. And as the cautious and simultaneous sound of steps approached, the enemy was now trying to corner them even more.Since the one they wanted was probably Selena, Jovan could now only stare at Selena for a few moments. As Selena stared at him also with confusion over the situation, as well as fear of what she was facing. Never in her wildest dreams had she thought she would face a situation like this. Ever since Damian's kidnapping and captivity, her normal life had vanished."Hey..." Jovan called softly."Mm?" Selena muttered and looked at Jovan who seemed to want to say something."I'll pick you up againHarvest chuckled. He was clearly enjoying Damian who seemed to be distracted by Selena's absence. Selena being with him even seemed like a new weakness for Damian. Damian was easily affected by her presence and absence. "What if I don't want to?" Harvest raised one eyebrow, as if challenging him. Damian looked at him angrily. He quickly changed places and stood right in front of Harvest. Which Damian immediately grabbed Harvest by the collar of his shirt and made Harvest have to look up because the collar of his clothes was pulled and he began to suffocate. However, despite being a little panicked, he tried to calm down and showed his grin. "Don't act like this, Damian. Why are you so affected by that girl? Do you love her? You're in love with a toy you picked up off the street?" Harvest seemed to take advantage of the incident to mock Damian. "You know damn well that she's the key to getting the chip back. I need her," Damian replied, his answer already represen
Selena blinked her eyes. After some time she fell asleep forcibly due to the effects of the liquid the nurse gave her, she finally regained consciousness. Selena stared at the infirmary which made her feel calm if she was in a place like a hospital. Because her body felt sore, Selena wanted to move her body, but she realized that her hands could not move freely. One hand uncovered the blanket she was using, and sure enough. Her left hand was handcuffed to the gurney she was sleeping on. No wonder she felt that her left shoulder was also sore and uncomfortable. So, she stretched her body limited. Someone entered the room and made Selena turn to the door. The door to the room was automatic and closed again as soon as Harvest entered. Harvest smiled as she looked at Selena, greeting her in a kind and friendly manner. While Selena furrowed her brow. "How are you feeling, Miss Selena? Are you feeling better?" asked Harvest as he approached. Selena gave Harvest a confu
"You're too close." Selena chuckled awkwardly while pulling her face back. Meanwhile, Harvest kept smiling while waiting for Selena to speak. He chuckled as Selena retreated, it seemed Selena was also full of caution at the moment. Her level of alertness increased dramatically once she realized her normal world was gone. "No one calls his names like that except for certain people. And you... seem to be that certain person. You're even too young, you could at least call him sir," Harvest muttered. "He's not my teacher, why should I call him sir? After all, he never protested how I called him. No, it's more like I never called his by name directly." Selena recalled when she had ever called Damian by name. As she remembered, she had only called Damian with 'hey', 'you', and other pronouns. "Ah, I see now. So, you're pretty close to him, huh, if you dare to call him that in his absence?" Harvest raised her eyebrows. "I don't know the exact answer to that,"
Harvest smiled after contacting Damian through Luca. He then looked at the figure who was now sitting in the chair with his head bowed. Harvest looked at the semi-conscious Jovan. Jovan had lost a lot of blood. Although his wounds were treated, he hadn't eaten anything since yesterday and that left him weak and his consciousness between presence and absence at that moment. "Who would have thought that I would meet you again." Harvest pushed the head of Jovan who looked completely helpless at the moment. Harvest chuckled, he seemed to be having fun. There were many benefits he got from yesterday's tragedy. A new deal with Damian, mending his broken relationship, being able to keep Selena in his place for a while, and now, he had discovered a new fact about the man in front of him. "I've contacted Damian, he must be on his way here by now. Oh, I'm so curious about his reaction to what I've got," Harvest muttered as he strolled nearby, indirectly showing his power.
"Alright, then where is Selena now?" Damian calmed himself down, looked at Axel for a moment and then looked at Harvest who was about to answer his question. "Oh, Selena's not here. Selena is at the hospital in the city center. She had to undergo more serious treatment after she tried to escape and she got some pretty serious injuries," Harvest explained. Damian frowned. He was quite suspicious of what Harvest said. As long as Selena was with him, Selena wouldn't try to escape to the point of hurting herself. Selena might indeed try, binding the meaning of her life so far is indeed working on her desires. But if it comes to hurting herself, so far Selena hasn't done it. Harvest himself looks relaxed saying it. As if it was not a serious thing. Of course, it was a consideration that Harvest had done too. "Are you playing games with me now?" Damian looked sharply at Harvest. "What kind of game am I playing with you right now? It's obvious that I'm helping you
Selena opened her eyes, she felt her head was more dizzy than ever. And she sat up slowly while holding her head. Her eyes glanced around the room which was already different from what she remembered. She blinked her eyes as she frowned. "Where else would this be..." Selena hissed softly while gently massaging her head. Selena then looked straight ahead. Where there was a mirror. On her temple was a bandage that she could still remember. But on the corner of her forehead, she found a new bandage. She was sure she hadn't been injured at all before, but instead she had gotten a new injury unknowingly. "Eh? When did I get hurt? I didn't do anything," she muttered in astonishment. And again like that time, the door opened as soon as she woke up. She could see Harvest again coming in just as Selena woke up. Selena looked at Harvest who was now smiling as he approached her. Of course for Selena this was very suspicious. How Harvest seemed to be watching her and knew wh
"How are you feeling? Your fever's gone down, huh?" Damian chuckled softly as he looked at Selena who was sitting on the floor with her head turned up towards him. Selena showed her surprise that she was now seeing Damian again. She remembered how Harvest had asked her if she chose between Damian or Harvest, and immediately Selena would choose Damian given the heinous things Harvest had done to her.Harvest gave her a new wound, which was enough to scare her a little with his strange behavior. But she didn't expect Harvest to actually send her back to Damian. Although she didn't know where she was now, in a plain room with only a few chairs. The room looked deserted and quiet. "It's a shame you're not in the best of shape right now. But that's okay, I'll think carefully about what entertainment I deserve," Damian murmured. "What do you mean?" Selena wrinkled her forehead, she tried to be calm even though her voice sounded shaky as if she was afraid of who was in f
"I'm waiting for you. Always. I've always waited for you." Selena said as she tried to hold back her tears from crying again. "I needed time. I'm trying to speed things up," Axel replied. "You should have replied to the email I sent you. Everything would have been faster if you'd replied and said you'd do the exchange. Why are you waiting for all this to happen? Ah, I wanted it to end quickly, but since it's come this far, I can't back out either." Damian crossed his arms. Selena sat up while holding her head. She felt her head spin again. She didn't know how she got the new wound, but it was painful and throbbing. Axel was a little worried and panicked when he saw Selena sitting up. Her condition didn't look good at the moment. Not to mention, Selena was injured. He remembered that she took good care of her before they were caught by Harvest and there were no injuries at all that time. "Are you okay? You don't look well right now. What did that crazy bastar
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
Without saying much, Damian pulled Selena into his arms. His hands firmly held Selena's body which felt very limp. The palm of his hand that was right behind Selena's head showed his delicate and considerate treatment at this moment. Seeing Selena crying at this moment, whether she was physically or mentally ill, it also indirectly hurt Damian. Damian had tried to control himself from feeling angry about losing his son. However, if Selena was like this, it managed to make him feel the same way Selena felt. Selena could feel how tight Damian's body was against hers. The half of her face that was right on Damian's chest allowed her to hear Damian's normal heartbeat, but it felt more intense. A few moments later, the emotional outburst Selena experienced passed, leaving the figure of Selena who was now just sitting back while hugging the warming pillow that was on her stomach. She stared blankly at Damian. "Luca and Grace want to see you, if you'll let them," Damian
"Is she okay now?" Grace asked. "Yeah, she's fine for now. But I don't know how she'll react when she wakes up and finds out she's miscarried," Luca says with a heavy sigh. Grace sat next to Luca eating the snack she had brought. And Luca ate with her, his stomach also empty as everything that had happened today prevented him from eating. "I can't be sure either. As far as I know, she wasn't emotionally involved with her baby. Once she found out she was pregnant, she didn't have any special reaction either," Grace murmured. "If you think about it, how she got pregnant was something wrong. I mean, she didn't do it with love. So, her pregnancy should be a mistake and not make her happy, right?" asked Luca while looking at Grace. "It wasn't wrong. But the concern is how she still wants to keep the baby. Although the reason behind it is rather painful. She said she'd only be looking at herself if she refused the baby. An unwanted baby, that's how she describes h
