MasukAs 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!"Selena arrives at Damian's mansion, only at the gate because there are several people guarding there. And that made Selena get out of Axel's car, Axel helped her get her luggage out. When they saw Axel, the men immediately pointed their guns at him. "He's just here to drive me," Selena defended as she held back the person who was trying to get close to Axel, it seemed like he was about to threaten him up close. Seeing Selena made him just grunt and lower his weapon. The other three people who were there also lowered their weapons. Selena gulped, seeing how alert they were, coupled with how they obeyed her made her a little amazed. She had power over these people. "Master didn't say anything about your return. You came back too suddenly," one of them said while looking at Selena. "Oh, I intended to surprise him. Is he still working in the office?" Selena asked. "No, he's abroad." Selena turned to the source of the voice, the person who answered her quest
A few days later, Selena was finally about to return to Damian's mansion after being held back for a few more days by her grandmother. Her grandmother and mother wanted Selena to stay longer. So Selena could only promise she would visit again later. "I'll visit often," Selena said as she looked at her luggage, including the insects that had been prepared as souvenirs, an unusual souvenir. "Are you sure you're going to be with him all the time? You know, it would be better if you stayed at Mom's before you got married," Axel said as he carried Selena's luggage to the car."I'm not a kid anymore, there's no need to advise me on the decisions I've made," Selena replied with a sigh, she was a little annoyed Axel kept bringing it up. "You're really not a reliable granddaughter," Grandpa quipped, looking sarcastically at Selena. Selena looked at him with a little shock. Obviously she was offended by the remarks of the old man who seemed very cold and ignorant. She
"Mom, it looks like next week I'll be returning to Damian's mansion soon," Selena said. Sabrina looked at Selena with concern. "Hum? You're leaving so soon." "Ah, his friend Damian is going to propose to Grace. So, I want to be there. Remember, Grace? Grace is both a doctor and a friend to me." Selena explained slowly. "You've only been here a few days. Don't you miss your mom?" Grandma asked. "I've been here about a week. I'd like to stay longer, but I don't want to miss Grace's proposal. Besides, I'll be visiting this house often." Selena smiled, seemingly trying to convince them to return to Damian's mansion. She seemed to be trying to persuade them, even though she could have just left the place without making small talk. However, it was her way of honoring her family. Grandma sighed, it seemed hard to just let Selena go. Especially to Damian's mansion. Grandma only knew a few things about Selena, about her relationship with Damian, Selena wasn't su
"I think we should go to the branch company again. There are internal problems, some workers are on strike. They keep coming in for attendance but are reluctant to perform their duties." Damian frowned when Luca said that. Another week was his special day and they had to go abroad. Damian remembered Selena's advice not to push Luca too much, Luca needed to be in good health for his special day. "I'll go, you don't have to accompany me. Ask Leon to pick me up when I get there," Damian said with a sigh, he looked thoughtfully at the printed document. Astonished, Luca stopped his work and looked at Damian, obviously confused. "Suddenly?" Luca can't seem to believe Damian didn't ask him to accompany him as usual. "Not suddenly either. I just wanted you not to risk your health by traveling back and forth abroad before the day of your proposal. After all, I don't want our surprise to be ruined if you get sick and have to postpone it," Damian replies without lookin
"Selena, let's get up!" Grandma said as she opened Selena's bedroom door. However, she didn't find Selena in her bedroom that night. And that made her furrow her brow. Selena hadn't been seen at all since she woke up, she should be in her bedroom. She closed the door to Selena's bedroom again. "Axel, did you see where Selena went this early in the morning?" asked Grandma as she turned to Axel who was already in front of his laptop with a cup of coffee. Axel, who was sipping his coffee, immediately stopped it and looked at Grandmother. "No, I haven't seen her since earlier. Shouldn't she be in her bedroom? Usually she'd be up by now," Axel said, looking at his watch. "She's not there," said Grandmother. Axel got up and put his coffee back down as he moved to Selena's room. He opened the door to her bedroom and entered Selena's bedroom. Selena's room was still tidy, and while the bathroom door was open, there was no one in it. That made her brows furrowed
Sabrina could see the openness in Selena. Selena began to open herself more and more to Sabrina, from the way they began to share their feelings. Selena began to open up her feelings too. "Yes, it's sometimes because of hormones and moods. Sometimes we are very grateful and sometimes we will curse and swear." Sabrina chuckled softly, confirming Selena. An incoming message to Selena's phone made Selena stare at her phone for a moment, the voice also managed to catch Sabrina's attention. Selena glanced at Sabrina a little awkwardly, turning off her cell phone. "Is it Damian again?" asked Sabrina. "Right," Selena replied in a lower voice, she seemed embarrassed about this. Sabrina could notice how Selena's cheeks flushed at the mention of Damian. It made her laugh amusedly at her daughter's blushing reaction when she teased her. "Hahaha, you really blush if you look in the mirror now." Sabrina laughed amusedly. Selena just cupped her cheeks and could
