Selena whimpered softly as Damian bit her shoulder. Then, Damian's lips brushed her collarbone, until Damian's face was on Selena's nape at this moment. The man sniffed Selena's neck, and kissed her as if it was a sign of apology after biting her shoulder.
"Sorry, next time I won't talk about Axel anymore." Selena understood what Damian wanted.Damian only cleared his throat in response. But for now he wouldn't just let Selena go. He bit lightly on the skin of Selena's neck, which made Selena have to squeal softly.After a few bites, Damian sucks on the skin of Selena's neck in several spots. Sucking long enough to leave red marks that wouldn't disappear overnight. His hands don't stay still, Damian's hands explore Selena's body.Damian's breathing was labored, his voice getting lower as well. While Selena squirmed under Damian's body. She didn't resist. Damian's touch was much more but than she remembered, she had no reason to resist. After all, Damian had also b"Huh... always me." Grace sighed as she accompanied Selena to her room. "If you don't want to, that's fine. You just have to say it. I don't want to. That's it." Selena looked at Grace, she could understand that Grace might be sick of being with her all the time. "It's not like that. It's not that I don't want to." Grace was a little panicked that Selena thought so. "It's just... no. It's impossible to refuse his orders. But I'm happy to be able to take a walk with you even if I have to go to the hospital again later. Today, I'm allowed to take you out and drive." Grace looked excited today. Because she would be out with Selena all day. Selena was also surprised that Damian would let her go out for a walk just like that. It made her think about what Damian had said about who she would meet tonight and eat with. "He's going out to dinner with a girl. I think that's why he let me out. Probably so I wouldn't get upset or jealous. But does he really think about my fe
["She was here earlier. She said she was going to look around the front near the main door. I meant it, she was with me earlier. I just left her for a while to do a transaction. It really doesn't make sense for her to run away."]Grace gripped her front hair in frustration at not finding Selena with her. She had no idea where Selena had gone. And all she could think about now was how she should deal with this situation. Meanwhile, Luca, who was being contacted by Grace now in a panic, rushed out of the store with Damian. Damian didn't look panicked, he just looked annoyed and angry at the moment. "You just ask the people at the boutique to check the CCTV and tell me which way Selena went," Luca said. "So she ran off after everything she told me? She played me? I won't let you get away, Selena." Damian clenched his fists at the sides of his shoulders. ["I've asked them to check the CCTV and they've given me permission. In a moment, they're checking it."]L
"What kind of atmosphere is this?" Damian got goosebumps after hearing what his father said. "Be direct and upfront. Do you know who's behind this? What you just said suggests that you really do know who's behind this."["Of course. Who else if not the Raguano family?"]"But how did they find out about Selena? I never even intentionally-"["I was the one who told Selena's father about Selena's whereabouts. Before coming to you, I naturally found out who the girl was. And it was quite surprising to find out that she was Derek's daughter. It's just that I was certainly confused about his unknown daughter. Finally, I and I talked for a while on the phone about Selena."] "How could you-"["Wait a minute. You should listen to me first. I warned Derek. I'm going to make Selena my daughter-in-law, I told him. So, he shouldn't try to bother Selena at all. I also promised to keep his family's good name as long as he keeps quiet. Most likely, Mrs. Raguano knew this too. T
"Didn't I warn you not to play with my future daughter-in-law and grandchild? I don't understand why you're brave enough to take such a risk." Hendry took a drag on his cigarette while holding the cell phone to his ear. He was in the middle of contacting Derek when he heard that Selena had been kidnapped from his son. ["What do you mean, Mr. Sagaras? I've clearly agreed to your words, in exchange for her not using my family's name and you not dragging in my family who have nothing to do with your future daughter-in-law."]"But what I heard today from my son is different. Selena was kidnapped by your wife." Hendry sighed, he was also trying to remain relaxed in the face of this and believed that everything would work out fine if everything was done casually and carefully. ["Selena was kidnapped... by my wife?"]["Look, I don't understand what you mean. My wife knows absolutely nothing about Selena. And she should. I wanted my family not to hear anything ab
Damian was breathing heavily. He ran a hand through his slightly messy hair, smoothing it out a bit, at least not blocking his view. And he looked at the butler who was now also catching his breath after being caught by his driver and bodyguard. Meanwhile, Luca was far behind due to his different physical abilities. Damian's driver and bodyguard certainly had more time to strengthen his physique. While he works more with his brain. Even so, his physique could not be underestimated. "You run like you know what will happen if you get caught. I wonder what Harvest promised you that you would betray me. You know, I wouldn't have a problem at all if you were just running away from your responsibilities. But what have you done? You made Selena not take her contraceptive pills, and you harmed her too." Damian took a breath before continuing. "Then you pushed her at the party. I don't understand what you really want." The woman kept her mouth shut. She seemed to have no
"Listen..." Selena tried to catch her breath, she endured the pain in her stomach as she stood up. "I haven't had anything to do with my own mother since I was little. I don't even know who my father is, even though I use his last name. I don't even know you at all. Can't it stay that way?" Selena looked at Alice. What Alice was doing right now, Selena could tell if Alice hated her as her husband's illegitimate child. That was all she could understand. "You won't. You'll wonder who your father is, what his family is like now and come to destroy your father's family. That's all that will happen in the future, and I'm trying to prevent that from happening. By what? By getting rid of you." Alice took a shaky breath, looking at Selena like someone facing her greatest fear. Alice approached and Selena flung herself to the floor, picking up the knife under her feet with her hands still tied behind her body. She wanted to keep the knife with her, nothing more. She had no int
"I didn't want to burden you like this but my son was right. If anything happens to Selena, then it will definitely be your responsibility." Hendry looked at Derek seriously Derek sighed heavily. Even if the one who hurt his daughter was his own wife, he did have to take responsibility for what his wife did. Not just because he was a husband, but because he was also a father. He was Selena's biological father. "After all, she's my daughter." Hendry looked at him a little pityingly. Because, what Hendry thought before was that Derek would try to eliminate Selena as well for the sake of his good name in the eyes of his own family, in the eyes of his children as well. However, seeing Derek who seemed devastated made Hendry realize that Derek was trying to protect Selena too. "I don't know how my wife found out about Selena. All I wanted was for her not to know anything about her and for Selena to live freely. Unfortunately, she found out too soon." Derek looked
Axel quickly arrived at the hospital, where Selena was being treated. He ran from the parking lot, looking around for the ER. His feet stepped quickly, he didn't know where the ER was at that moment. However, as soon as he got close to the ER, he directly bumped into Hendry and Derek. Slightly surprised to see the two, Axel stopped walking and let out his slightly breathless breath. Hendry and Derek, who seemed to be chatting at the time, looked a little surprised. Axel glanced at the little girl who came with the two as well. When Hendry and Derek were about to pass Axel unceremoniously, Axel ventured to greet the two and maybe ask directly about Selena. He was confused as to why they were already this close, as they should have a bad relationship if Selena's father knew what Selena had gone through with Damian. "Where's Selena?" Axel looked at the two middle-aged men with steady breathing.Both of them turned their heads towards Axel. The little girl Derek was l
Selena's legs wrapped around Damian's waist became tighter. Selena's hands on his broad shoulders also seemed to have doubts about Damian's strength supporting her body. Realizing this, Damian only raised one corner of his lips. "Calm down. Do you doubt me? If you doubt me, I can really let you go. Don't doubt me! Calm down..." Damian said as he rubbed Selena's backside lightly. "How can I calm down? Watch your hands! Don't touch me carelessly!" protested Selena, as she tried to stop Damian's hand with one of hers, she also squirmed a little at the touch of Damian's hand.Damian chuckled softly and stopped his hand. Damian glanced at the movie Selena was watching. And saw how the spacious sofa was made comfortable for herself with a blanket, along with snacks and drinks on the table. She was really enjoying herself. "This is all you do after you're not with me? You left me just for this? I can give you all this comfort," Damian said as he looked at Selena. Sl
Since her location is known to Axel, he always makes time to visit. Just to see what Selena was doing or to bring her some food. And that morning, Axel brought her breakfast just as Selena was about to go out for breakfast. "Oh, you surprised me!" squealed Selena as she opened the door, Axel was already there."Do you want to have breakfast together?" Axel held up the parcel he had brought as he smiled at her.While Selena hissed, looking at him sarcastically for a few moments before letting out a long sigh. This was food. She could save time and money if Axel just brought it to her. She let Axel in to have breakfast with her in her apartment.Selena set the cutlery on the dining table, as Axel opened what he had brought for breakfast that day. It was simple enough, cream soup and roast chicken. However, it seemed that Selena, who was already confused about what to eat, seemed eager to eat her food. Axel ate with her in silence. What Axel felt was like he was s
"Let's go home!" whispered Selena while pulling Jian's hand, she shook her body with fear like she had just seen a demon. While Jian furrowed her brow in confusion and looked at Damian as well as Axel who were now staring at Selena's back with an unhappy look. It made Jian suspect that Selena might have made a mistake in coming to the masquerade ball for the first time. "What are you doing? Why are they looking at you so intently?" whispered Jian. "I'm not doing anything. Let's just go home! I'm really uncomfortable, you know!" urged Selena, she kept shaking Jian's hand like a little girl asking for a toy."She has a problem with me." Damian walked over, just looking at Selena's movements he could tell that the girl wanted to leave the place immediately. "Problem? Tell me, what are you doing?" Jian looked at Selena seriously. Quickly, Damian won Selena's hand again, he would not let Selena go again this time. This girl always ran away from him, and he kn
"Ha! How can I believe that? You seem to still love Axel. You're glad you miscarried because you can break up with me and go back to Axel? That's so funny! I thought you really just wanted to be alone for a while." Damian clucked, looking at Selena whose brow was furrowed. Selena certainly didn't agree with Damian's words. After all, she did want to be alone. She had also rejected Axel before. This time, it was just a coincidence that she was alone at a party and it would have been a relief to be with Axel, someone she knew. However, Damian's presence also made things worse. "No! I really wanted to be alone," Selena denied again, she didn't know what else to say to deny all of Damian's accusations that were completely untrue. She also didn't know why she was doing that. The girl could have just casually accepted the untrue accusations thrown at her. However, instead of that, Selena who was trying so hard to deny seemed to unknowingly have another intention. Yes, she d
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
