As soon as Selena spurted the water in her mouth at Damian, Selena smiled with satisfaction. She loved the reaction of how Damian immediately turned his drenched face away. Although her smile disappeared as soon as Damian threw the glass in his hand in a random direction and swung his leg to kick her shoulder with force.
The chair he was sitting on was unable to keep Selena from falling after getting kicked in the shoulder. The chair fell along with Selena. Selena's head hit the floor quite hard, making her hearing ring for a while and dizzy. Damian looked angrily at Selena, the girl had the audacity to spray water in his face because she didn't know who she was dealing with at the moment. And Damian's actions this time were aimed at showing Selena his ability, showing the power he had. "Fool, you're messing with the wrong person, and I want you to know that." Damian took out a handkerchief from under his coat and wiped his wet face. He looked down at the helpless Selena, tied to the chair she was now lying on. Selena was trying to keep her consciousness, evident by how weak those eyes were that repeatedly wanted to stay closed longer. "You don't seem to know your opponent well enough. Don't act stupid if you don't know how much power your opponent has. And I need to remind you that I am not playing games with you. My actions just now are a warning to you," Damian threatened. Selena couldn't really hear what Damian was saying as his voice would occasionally fade away. And before long, she was unconscious because she couldn't hold on any longer. Damian chuckled as he saw her faint again. He then went to the door and exited the room. Several men in formal attire were there. They politely bowed their heads as Damian came out. "Take him to the empty room near Merry's room. Have the servants take care of her!" Damian ordered as he walked, leaving some of them behind as others followed wherever Damian was going. "Miss Merry won't like having another new girl, sir." One of them spoke up. "Tell her she's not my girl, she's our precious prisoner, that's what she's been put there for. Tell the servants to tell that woman not to touch her!" Damian said. "Why do you seem to be treating her special?" One of them was a bit rebellious. Damian immediately glanced at his subordinates, and his steps stopped. As soon as Damian's steps stopped, everyone stopped and turned to the man who had just asked. "Was I not clear enough? She's our precious captive. Even if I'm going to hurt her to get Axel to come and make the exchange, we should at least be kind enough to take care of her as well. Do you think that guy will make the exchange if we hand over the girl in a bad state? Well, at least not too bad." Damian chuckled softly with his last sentence. Since he was being quite caring for the girl, his intentions were clear if he wanted Selena's ex to agree to a swap as well. "Okay, understood." "Don't ask questions as if you doubt my orders!" Damian's tone turned firmer and more serious. "Yes, sir!" His loyal dogs barked obediently. *** Selena was lying on a luxurious bed. With her head resting on an ice bag. Her body, which was lying openly, was being bathed by several servants. And they found some old scars on Selena's body. Selena was not still unconscious and would have been embarrassed to find herself bathed like a corpse. Once finished, the servants left the room. Leaving Selena who had been dressed in a plain blue gown, just like the hospital. And the butler whose only job was to make sure the other servants did their job well was now reporting to Damian. "Her condition is improving. There are no serious injuries. But the back of her head is slightly swollen. And there are some old scars all over her body. There are some bruises too," he said. Damian, who was sitting behind his desk, nodded his head and his forefinger, like it was touching a touchscreen, moved to shift the waiter and let someone else report as well. It was now a man wearing glasses who faced him. "I sent the photos you requested to Axel after getting the email address he used. I also made sure that my sending the images could not be detected." "Did Axel reply?" Damian looked at him with a sharp gaze. "No... Not yet." "Good, good. Report any Axel movements you find to me," Damian said. "Yes, sir." Damian walked out of his room and headed to the elevator. He pressed three and headed to the ladies' room. On the third floor, he could see how the servants struggled every night because there was always a commotion at dinner. "Just look who will conceive the child first!" "Obviously me! I'm Lord Damian's favorite after Merry." "How could he leave his child to someone like you!" The waitress, who saw Damian coming out of the elevator, hurriedly informed the women until they calmed down and the atmosphere became tense. Damian approached the dining room, and the women there immediately bowed their heads politely. "Can't you have dinner in peace?" Damian's heavy voice broke the silence that had just occurred. "Are you here?" A woman sitting at the end of the table, amongst six other women dared to speak up first. We can guess who. The woman who was said to be Damian's favorite. The woman mentioned by the other waitresses earlier. Merry. The blonde beauty smiled beautifully at Damian. "Do you want to eat first or... something else?" Merry got up from her seat and approached Damian. "I want you for tonight," Damian said, accompanied by his sweet smile. The other women immediately furrowed their brows. They also seemed to want Damian's touch. "You've been using Merry a lot lately and we've become untouchable," protested one of the six in a fairly steady voice. "That's your punishment for daring to do so with my other subordinates." With darkened eyes and a low voice, Damian said that. Making all five of them scared. Except for Merry, who was Damian's favorite because of her obedient and sweet attitude, Damian's type. "By the way, you have another girl next to my room," Merry said. "She seems to be replacing Merry, being young and pretty." "Shut your mouth!""Yes, you and your mother are so similar. At first, I didn't have any feelings for you at all and would only think of you as my little sister. However, over time, those feelings grew without permission. I even begged your mom to date you. And in the end, here we are. Our relationship is over." Axel cut it short. He chuckled sadly at his own sentence. Offending himself and reminding him that his relationship with Selena was over. However, that didn't mean he was going to give up either. Selena blinked her eyes, slightly incredulous at what she heard from Axel. The look on her face was rather sad, knowing that her mother would rather take care of and raise someone else than her own daughter who had been through a lot. "I'll explain the rest later. What if we go now to see your mother? Actually, right now our position is not safe at all," Axel said suddenly.Axel glanced at his cell phone on the table. Where his cell phone showed a map of their surroundings. With a r
"I'm a little disappointed in you. But what can I do? Because you might feel threatened for now. I can understand that. To the point that you sought help from Damian, took refuge in him. You chose him over me. When you could have talked to me," Axel muttered. Axel's low voice made Selena feel a little guilty for her actions today. She broke her promise to come alone, she also doubted Axel through the drink. "I can't trust you is the truth. You show your closeness to my father too much, it's sickening. You know I was abandoned by him in the past and you're by his side. That's really sickening," Selena retorted, she suppressed her own words. "I wasn't by his side for no reason. You yourself were the only reason I was there. I was on your side. And wanted to always be on your side. That's why when you finally returned to your father, I approached your father," Axel explained. The two looked away from each other, neither daring to look at the other. "Can I belie
Selena looked at Axel who was waiting for her at the restaurant. Looking around, Selena could tell that Axel was alone. Because some of the people in the restaurant were Damian's men who had been watching from before Axel arrived and they gave information if the man came alone. "Axel kept his promise," Selena said as she picked up her bag, she was still in the car with Damian who was currently looking at her with an annoyed look because Selena had to meet Axel. Selena didn't pay much attention to it at first, until she noticed it and smiled at Damian with some hesitation. Actually she was also a bit horrified in case she made Damian angry. Damian still had the potential to do something nasty to her, though it was less likely. "This will only take a minute. And I'm sure he won't do anything other than speak his mind. I know him well." Selena tried to comfort Damian. "Oh, yes. You know her very well considering how long you've been together and she was your first,"
"I'll go see Selena and bring her here. We promised that we would only meet together. I don't want to betray Selena at all. I don't want to bring anyone but myself." Axel faced Derek, stating what he was going to do tonight. Derek nodded his head, seemingly trying to understand Axel's decision. Which of course is all he's doing for Selena and keeping Selena's trust for their future relationship. And Derek would agree to Axel's request to go alone. "Yes, you can go alone if you want," Derek replied. "You trust me, don't you? I won't betray you because I don't have anyone else to base myself on." Axel looked at Derek, from his gaze it seemed convincing. Derek sighed and looked at Axel. He nodded his head again, trying to convince himself of Axel. After all, Axel wouldn't dare betray him. Because of their initial agreement and also the fact that most of Axel's assets had been seized. Thanks to the incident after Damian came to his base, and killed a lot of his
"Let's contact Selena and Damian about the information we found. Selena might be shocked to learn that Axel is actually her adopted brother. Hahaha." The old man's laughter sounded crisp. He couldn't help but laugh at that fact. Although it was a bit sad to have to tell Selena that her mother would rather take care of her adopted child than her daughter. Whatever the reason, whether it was acceptable to Selena or not. Behind it all, Hendry also regrets a bit about Sabrina's behavior that has destroyed her child's youth. Selena's meeting with Damian is still not something that should happen. Bound by what happened to Selena in the beginning, it seems that it still cannot be fixed at all. In the future, whether or not they are together is a problem. Because now, Hendry could see the love in Damian's eyes for Selena. But from Selena, he only saw the girl who once seemed to have a fear of Damian now taking refuge in him. Right now, the girl only needed Damian as her prote
"What? What did he say to you?" Damian furrowed his brow. Unconsciously the man's hand was already on Selena's shoulder, reaching out to calm Selena who looked shocked. Selena seemed to disbelieve something, which made her look dazed. "My mother... it's true that she's in hiding and not showing her presence at all. My father may have met her once or twice. Until my father felt uncomfortable and uneasy about my mother's whereabouts. So, with the revelation of my whereabouts, my father deliberately persuaded me to stay with him until I was under his supervision. My father will lure my mother out and do something that I don't know what it is yet." Selena sighed. She tensed slightly, realizing that while she was with her father, while she was enjoying his wealth, she was pushing herself to the brink. Damian frowned. "Why would Axel tell you that? Shouldn't he have kept his mouth shut considering he's your father's right-hand man now?" At first, Selena didn't thi
