MasukSelena has always played by the rules. Born into a world of wealth and privilege, she's promised to a man she doesn't love, Damien. She feels trapped in a life she never chose, until one fateful night changes everything. Escaping her family’s suffocating grip, Selena finds herself at a secluded cabin in the mountains, where a passionate, anonymous encounter with a mysterious man ignites a spark she never saw coming. As she returns to her wedding, bound by duty but torn by her heart, she discovers she's pregnant. But the real shock? The child is for the stranger she met in the cabin. Caught between two powerful men—one who offers revenge and the other, a life of duty—Selena is forced to confront her deepest desires, betrayals, and the shadows of her family’s legacy. In a tangled web of passion, deception, and emotional turmoil, Selena must make a choice that will shatter everything she’s ever known. Can love survive the weight of the past? Or will Selena's decisions destroy them all?
Lihat lebih banyak(Selena's POV)Walking out of Damien’s office, I felt like I had just escaped from a room slowly filling with smoke. My heart was racing from unease and a bit of fear.Damien looked suspicious when he asked about Luca. I was taken aback for a second but managed to stay composed. I had to quickly come up with a story that was believable.My heels clicked down the hallway, each step echoing in the silence, my mind racing with thoughts. I'm sure it was Claire who disclosed to Damien that I was with Luca. What if Damien had walked in on us kissing? That would have been a plain disaster.That kiss though.I felt my face flush just thinking about it, and a small, involuntary smile tugged at my lips. It wasn't just any kiss, it was the kind of kiss that made time stand still. The kind that made your heart clench and expand all at once.I could feel the love he has for me rolling off of him in waves in that one kiss. I've been really nervous about telling him about my pregnancy, unsure of how
(Damien's POV)I stepped into the reception of the Delacroix-Valenci tower. The fluorescent lights buzzed overhead, everything felt too calm. A far cry from the blood, smoke and steel I had walked through just days ago.I arrived in New York exactly 30 minutes ago, the cold Balkan air still lingered in my bones. I walked through the hallway, hearing numerous “welcome sir” as I passed. I've been away for a week now and coming back to see that the empire still stayed standing, stock didn't crash and the board didn't crumble shows that Selena did a good job in my absence. At least she's capable of handling things here. Speaking of Selena, we never spoke throughout the time I was away. I never called and she didn't too, not a word from her. Well, this marriage isn't one for affection.I used the elevator to the VIP floor and started walking to my office but decided to stop by at Selena's. The monthly review meeting with our new partners must have ended and I need reports.The door to her
(Luca's POV)Selena is pregnant with my child. The moment those words left her lips—“I’m pregnant, Luca”—the entire world tilted. For a second, I didn’t breathe. I wasn’t even sure I could. It felt like something had knocked the air from my lungs. The walls, floor, and the buzzing of the air vent above us, all faded. All I could see was her, sitting across from me, vulnerable, scared and strong all at once. Her voice trembled, but her eyes didn’t flinch.I’ve played that night in the cabin in my head a thousand times, but I never imagined that we created a life that night.Our baby.I stood because I had to. My chest was too full to stay still. I paced, my hands dragging down my face, and through my hair. Thoughts and questions raced through my mind.But then, she told me everything. Her fears, and also that only Sophia and her mother knows she's pregnant.I looked at her and all I could see was the woman I love, the woman who had my heart from the very first day I saw her and now, sh
(Selena's POV)The decision didn’t come easily, but it finally came. I spent the last two days trying to come up with the words to tell Luca that he's responsible for my pregnancy.As Sophia said, “He deserves to know.” She was right. Luca is the father of my child and he has a right to know. Whatever happens after, I hope I’ll be able to deal with it.What weighed heavier now was the uncertainty about my father. My mother promised to speak to him last night—to tell him how unhappy I’ve been in my marriage, and how cold Damien has been since the very beginning, but she's been silent since then. I’ve checked my phone at least ten times since morning but there's nothing yet.Still, I tried to focus on the meeting this morning. Damien wasn’t back from his trip, so I chaired the monthly board meeting with the company's executives and our newest partner, Novatek. It was difficult enough keeping my composure while standing at the head of that long, cold conference table, knowing that Luca w
