The night air was cold, but Selene was sweating profusely and her heart felt like it was going to jump out of her chest.

She looked at Pascal, who was blocking her car door and knew she might not be able to get out of the estate.

One of Maxton's major rules is absolute loyalty and he hates people who go behind his back and cause trouble for no reason. And most of all, he hated people who touched what he was obligated to protect.

  • Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don    CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR: Secret Protector

    Raina looked at Maxton standing in the doorway and her heart was still pounding from the terrifying phone call with Michael. Her eyes were red, and her hands were shaking, but she didn't want to show Maxton her weakness and she hated being seen like this. Maxton stood there, his tall frame blocking the light from the hallway. He looked at her with his dark eyes as he had heard Michael's threat but he didn't hear what led to the threats.He had also heard the fear in Raina's voice when she talked about her mother and he waited for her to tell him what was happening.But Raina didn't say a word, instead, she just stared back at him, her jaw tight and her lips pressed together stubbornly.The answer to his question was obvious as Michael was simply a monster but she had no intention of opening up to Maxton. She hated showing people her weakness and hated being pitied by anyone.Especially someone like Maxton that she barely knows anything about and had a polite relationship with.Maxton

    The morning sun shone brightly through the large windows of the bedroom.Raina slowly opened her eyes and blinked against the light. She moved her arms and legs slowly,to test her body and to her surprise, the sharp pains from yesterday had turned into a dull ache. Which means that the medicine Ramirez gave her was working well, as her bruises were still dark, but they didn't hurt as much anymore.She got out of bed, did a few light stretches to wake up her muscles, and went to the bathroom to freshen up. Even with a fractured rib, Raina didn't move weakly, she was extremely agile. She splashed cold water on her face and looked at herself in the mirror."I've survived worse," she whispered to her reflection like she always did.Knock knock!A few minutes later, there was a soft knock on the door, and Ava walked in carrying a silver tray with eggs, juice, toast, and fresh fruit. She looked at Raina with a mix of respect and a hint of worry."Good morning, Miss Raina," Ava said as she s

    Maxton stepped out of Selene’s room, his face looking extremely cold and furious.The thing he hated most was happening right under his nose and he had no idea of it. Betrayal was a poison, and it had entered his own house without him noticing.He looked at the guard standing nearby. "Find Caleb," Maxton commanded with a cold voice that made the guard tremble. "Take him to the basement immediately!."The guard instantly nodded and hurried away. Maxton walked down the stairs, his aura was extremely cold and any one close by could feel it without even getting close. Carlos was already waiting for him at the bottom of the stairs and they didn't even need to speak, because Carlos knew that when Maxton looked this way, someone was going to pay a heavy price.By the time Maxton reached the dimly lit cold basement again, Caleb was already there. The blood of the thugs that was everywhere before, has been properly cleaned and no trace of what happened to the thugs half an hour ago was left.Th

    Selene felt like her heart was going to stop, as Maxton was still gripping her collar tightly, holding her in place and not even allowing her to take even a step forward.She could feel his cold breath on the back of her neck and the hallway was silent, except for the sound of her own panicked breathing. After hesitating for a few minutes, she slowly turned her head to look at him."I... I wasn't running away, Maxton," Selene whispered, her voice trembling like a leaf in the wind, as she tried to force a smile, but it looked more like a grimace. "I just... the blood on your shirt…It frightened me. I got a little dizzy, that’s all….You know how I am with blood."Maxton didn't look convinced and his eyes remained dark and showing no emotion at all. Then he let go of her collar so suddenly that she almost tripped forward. Selene had to grab a nearby shelf to stabilize herself, so she wouldn't fall. Then she turned back to look at Maxton but he just gave her a cold gaze."Go to your room

And most of all, he hated people who touched what he was obligated to protect.‘What do I do now? How the hell can I get out of this shit?! Those stupid thugs couldn't do a simple job!’ She kept asking herself questions and screaming in frustration in her mind, because she knew she was in deep trouble. If she went back to her room, she would be in deep trouble and the memory of the first time she met Maxton's alter ego, Roger, was still fresh in her mind.Just remembering it made her whole body tremble and she decided that she had to leave. ..Now!.She quickly adjusted her emotions and softened her expression. Then she looked at Pascal

    Maxton stared at the photo on the phone and Carlos stood perfectly still, watching his every expression.He expected Maxton to explode with anger, but that didn't happen, instead he simply stared at the photo of Selene and let out a soft chuckle that made the hair on the thugs' arms stand up."Selene," Maxton whispered with a smirk "The little mouse is trying to play cat."The four thugs watched him, their eyes wide with terror. They saw the strange smirk on his face and felt a tiny spark of hope. They thought that because the mastermind was someone Maxton knows, maybe he wouldn't be so angry with them and would have mercy on them.But Maxton looked at Carlos with excited eyes. "Carlos," he said, his voice light and almost happy. "Contact Pascal and tell him to ensure that our dear Selene should stay in her room…I wouldn't want her to get lost in the dark or... try to leave the estate without saying goodbye.""Yes, Don Maxton," Carlos replied and quickly pulled out his phone and stepp
