"Oh, shit... She wasn't taken to the medical unit, but to another room."
Jovan, the man who was looking for Selena was now snorting. He really couldn't believe it, his plan to get Selena out of the dungeon and maybe take her to the infirmary had gone wrong. Selena was instead taken to Damian's room which made him look desperate at the moment. He rubbed the back of his head rather roughly.Earlier, Jovan checked Selena's condition which was indeed bad. And finally asked Selena to lie down below, to make people who would patrol downstairs fooled by her condition which was actually not that bad.However, perhaps because she was lying down too, Selena's condition had worsened somewhat. She even slept without being disturbed at all. However, she did not sleep soundly. She kept moaning in her sleep back then. She seemed to have forgotten about Jovan's plan to take her out of Damian's mansion back then.Now, Damian was even closer to her. Damian seemed to be watching herJovan got the access he wanted with ease. He quickly went upstairs and approached Damian's room which was slightly hidden and away from the other rooms. It was to give him privacy as well as a good rest. Damian himself was focused on the party, along with his women who accompanied him faithfully. Damian entertained the special guests well as the party drew to a close. Jovan walked faster, his heart beating faster as this would be very dangerous for his survival, he knew it. He looked tense and tried to appear calm even though sweat was starting to pour down his body as he walked faster towards Damian's room. Arriving at Damian's room, Jovan opened the door and found Selena sitting on the bed with a book provided by the butler. Since there was nothing else to do, Selena could only do that. Selena was a little surprised when Jovan opened the door and reflexively closed her book. "You?" Selena frowned, she was surprised to death now by his presence. Jovan immed
"Shit!" Damian immediately ran off along with his men on duty. Meanwhile, the women were now looking at Damian in confusion. They glanced at each other as they were evacuated. It seemed that Damian's men were also good at dealing with this situation, some of them swiftly secured the guests. "What happened? Why are there gunshots coming from the direction of Damian's room?" asked Merry, she sounded both anxious and nervous. "We don't know yet, no one has gotten there to update us on the situation. This way, to the evacuation door! The other doors will be closed automatically to prevent the perpetrator from escaping. This way!" Merry along with the other guests were evacuated. Questions arose in their minds - Damian's women. They were certainly confused, Damian's room which was considered a restricted area, so only the butler could enter it, now there were gunshots coming from that direction. Plus, Damian looked panicked and angry just now. Supposedly, no valu
Damian heard the sound of a helicopter which made him immediately look out the large window nearby. The helicopter seemed to be approaching and heading towards the mansion. Damian frowned as he realized it wasn't his helicopter. "Foreign helicopter approaching the mansion. Confirm permission!" His men quickly asked for confirmation from their other colleagues on the spot. "Foreign helicopter approaching. It appears to be the suspect's backup." Once the confirmation was received, the men looked at Damian as if waiting for him to give the order. But Damian thought about it for a moment, as this opponent also had access to big things like helicopters, indicating he was no ordinary person. "Head to the roof and prepare to shoot!" Damian ordered. "Sir, it would be dangerous if the helicopter suffered damage and had to crash near the mansion. There are many people currently here. Guest safety takes precedence in this situation," Luca explained, disapproving of Dam
A helicopter chase ensued. Two helicopters continue to follow the helicopter carrying Jovan and Selena. Which makes Jovan and his partner now alert and have to think carefully about heading to their base. Because if they take the helicopter directly to the base, the enemy will know where their base is. "Looks like we have to go around first," said Jovan while looking at Selena who looked pale. "We can't fly the helicopter carelessly in the city sky, it will cause problems too," replied his colleague who was the pilot in the helicopter. "In that case, what if we call for help? We should drop the helicopter somewhere else and take cover there," suggested another. "No, that's too dangerous for them. Most of the companies we can ask for help from are companies related to the Saga Corporation. They can easily find out what we've been hiding behind," Jovan replied again. "So, what's your plan?" asked one of them again a little uneasily now. "Can we contact Mr
The Saga Corporation helicopter was eventually overthrown by the helicopter with the H logo. Which finally allowed Jovan and his colleagues to move towards their headquarters, followed by the H logo helicopter. They cheered with joy at the sudden help, where they felt very helpful. "Hang in there for a while longer, Selena. You'll get some treatment after this," Jovan said as he looked at Selena who kept her eyes closed there. "She looks very pale. Is her condition really that bad?" his partner asked. "Yes, Damian is a very cruel man to her." Jovan's eyes looked even darker at the mention of the name he seemed to hate so much at that moment. *** On the other side, Damian slammed down the weapon he was holding. Damian grunted in annoyance as he clenched his fists. His breathing sounded very heavy and his men could now only look down as Damian was overcome with emotion at that moment. After losing contact with the helicopter assigned to tail the enemy hel
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 again
Harvest 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
"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
"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.
