"It's like I just got you out of all your life's troubles, made you run away from them," Damian said, his reaction looking like he was proud of that fact.

"Right! Then you dragged me into new problems," Selena retorted quickly.

Damian's expression immediately changed again, he looked frowning. While Selena had to hold back her laughter when she saw Damian's expression, she tried to look as neutral as possible. It was quite funny how they began to interact more casually.

"What did you say?" Damian dragged his body closer to Selena.

"I didn't say anything," Selena replied.

While Damian wasn't in the mood to prolong it, he just sighed. He looked at Selena's figure who was getting used to being near him. Damian held his forehead, for some reason his forehead felt dizzy remembering all the problems that happened.

Selena leaned her body. She was reminded of Axel who also had a lot of prob

  • Become a Prisoner of The Mafia   Hendry and Selena's Meeting

    Seeing Damian and Selena having breakfast together that morning succeeded to make Luca smile happily while eating with them. Damian and Selena seemed to be getting along quite well at the moment. "Today you don't have anything special scheduled outside. There are some documents that need to be signed, but you can do them from here," Luca explained. "On your own, do you have any special events today?" asked Damian. "No, I've already cleared the day because of last night's party, I'm going to rest today." Damian nodded his head and glanced at Selena who was listening to their conversation. Selena returned his gaze briefly and refocused on the food in front of her.A morning that seemed to be sunny and fine, suddenly became a little tense when a call came into Luca's cell phone. Luca sighed and answered his phone as he got up from his seat and moved away from the table. Soon after, Luca approached Damian, and leaned down to whisper something. "Your fat

    "We weren't involved in a one night stand, she's been here for a while. Much longer," Damian replied calmly, not really bothered by his father's gaze. Meanwhile Hendry sighed and looked at Selena who looked tense. He noticed Damian's attitude towards Selena as well. His son didn't seem interested in calming Selena down at all. Selena's background, which could indeed be called unclear, would greatly affect the reputation of the Sagaras family as well. If Damian could get a woman who was at least known by the circle of people like them, even if she had no power, it would be better. "She only bears the name Raguano. Hey, do you know who your father is?" Hendry looked at Selena with a curious look, Selena's surname seemed to affect him quite a bit regardless of Selena's own origins. Selena raised her face slightly and shook her head. She glanced at Damian before speaking, but Damian himself seemed to have no intention of giving her direction. "I... I don't know.

  • Become a Prisoner of The Mafia   Change of Atmosphere

    Seeing Selena leave immediately made Damian seem quite shocked by Selena's actions. His father's words managed to affect Selena completely. "I haven't made up my mind yet, it doesn't mean I'm going to eliminate that child just like that. Wasn't it you who asked me to get married and have a successor? I've already found a candidate without any effort."If only those words had come out before Selena left, Selena wouldn't have had to feel the pain in her chest quite deeply. Unfortunately, Selena didn't hear those words of defense come out of Damian's mouth. Damian chuckled softly and glanced at Luca who frowned. Luca was confused by Damian. It was not wrong if Selena was also always confused by Damian's unstable attitude towards her. Hendry himself didn't reply for a while, just stared back at Damian with confusion at Damian's change. Damian had been keeping his mouth shut, apparently just waiting for Hendry to finish talking, and the purpose was to see Hendry's resp

    Damian sighed as he saw Selena who seemed to be trying to stabilize her emotions by reading a book. The man just stood at the door, crossing his arms. Selena glanced at Damian and looked back down at her book. She sighed with a slight shudder. She didn't know what Damian was doing there. But, it was disturbing to see Damian there for so long, and watching her too. She just wanted to be alone at that moment. "You should really send me home after that," Selena said without looking at Damian. "After what? Why should I send you home?" Damian didn't move from his spot. "After everything is over. Your father told you to, right. Send me home after everything is done," Selena replied, she actually sounded shaky at that moment. "I won't." Damian shrugged his shoulders, his expression still monotonous as he watched Selena. Selena sighed again and closed her book, then looked straight at Damian, returning his gaze. Selena gulped down her saliva. "You won't? W

    "So, your decision is... we're going to be together?" asked Selena. Selena still wanted to hear all the clarity from Damian. She stared at Damian from Damian's bed, hugging the pillow as she continued to stare at the shirtless Damian."Isn't that obvious? Why do you keep asking?!" replies Damian looking a little annoyed. "You didn't say it clearly. You just said that I wasn't allowed to abort the baby, without telling me more about how our relationship would go," Selena replied as she continued to look at Damian's beautiful body while Damian himself seemed to be busy with his cell phone. "You think I'm going to keep the baby without the mother?!" Damian chuckled in frustration. "You have to speak clearly. Because the key to a good relationship is good communication, but it has to be clear too. You're always so gray," Selena retorted. Damian looked at Selena, Selena was more talkative with him now. Her expression was neutral, she didn't show that she was

    That's right, Selena has nothing to give Damian. She came to Damian - or rather was forced into Damian's life without any supplies. "I already have everything, so you don't need to give me anything," Damian retorted."You're right, but..." Selena was about to say something, before she realized what Damian was saying was something she wanted to hear. "What do you mean, you want to be with me?" Damian sighed. With Selena, he had to explain everything. Selena always needed clarity while he didn't want to explain everything and hoped she would understand on her own. However, it seemed he had to get used to Selena. He looked at the figure of Selena whose eyes were sparkling, she seemed to be very happy with what she had just heard. It made Damian smile slightly and put his hand on the top of Selena's head and got up from his bed."I'm going to take a shower first." Selena stared at Damian's back silently. She smiled, really smiled like how she ate dessert. She

    "I mean it. He said so. Do you know how gallantly he asked me to look after his future grandchild? I'm really impressed." Luca spoke very convincingly to his colleagues. Those who heard him seemed impressed too and it seemed that they would start to take more care of Selena, in the sense of looking after the baby she was carrying, who would one day become Damian's son or daughter. "I'm really curious, will it be a boy or a girl. If it's a girl, I think there will be another one. If it's a boy, maybe he'll be the only one until he grows up and asks for a sibling on his own." One of them laughed. "That's true. It's usually always like that." "It doesn't matter if this one will be born a boy or a girl, but we just need to ensure Miss Selena's safety and comfort," Luca said more seriously. "But, what about the wedding? Is the wedding going to be postponed or what?" Luca was silent for a moment. He hadn't actually heard anything from Damian regarding the wed

    Damian held his forehead, now his head was hurting too. Today he couldn't move at all. His body condition worsened after he contracted Selena's morning sickness. The feeling of vomiting was still there in his chest, but he really didn't want to let it out. "If you hold it in, your body won't feel good at all," Luca said. Selena giggled as she applied a fever-reducing plaster as Damian's temperature rose. She was doing fine, and felt better when Damian wasn't. This was the first time Selena had seen Damian sick, where he looked so helpless. "I hate taking it out. If I take it out, it won't be one time. There would be several more waves. Then, a few minutes apart, it would come again. I hate that feeling." Damian lay on his bed, paler because he didn't want to eat anything. "Yes, that's what generally happens. But it will actually make you better. It's a sign that there's still a lot your stomach can't digest. If you get it all out, your stomach will be empty and m

    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

  • Become a Prisoner of The Mafia   Longing

    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

  • Become a Prisoner of The Mafia   Selena's Freedom

    "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.

  • Become a Prisoner of The Mafia   The Ring

    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

  • Become a Prisoner of The Mafia   What Selena Wanted

    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

  • Become a Prisoner of The Mafia   Emotional Outburst

    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
