The next morning came with the same heavy things I didn’t want to think about. I told myself it would be just another day. That I’d walk into the office, drown in paperwork, and not feel a thing.

But pretending not to feel had become exhausting.

By the time I reached the lobby, people were already whispering. I could feel their stares, faint, curious, the kind that burned holes through your composure. My name would get lost in their murmurs, but one name always came out louder.

  • Mr. CEO, Leave Me Breathless    Chapter 217

    “Yuan is dead.”That was the first thing I heard when I woke up that day from a very long sleep. Long and endless, because that’s how it felt when I opened my eyes. I didn’t know what I should feel first that day—the physical pain from my wounds or the emotional numbness that seemed to take over whenever I tried to think.I couldn’t remember what had happened. The only thing I recalled clearly was Ethan hugging me that day and breaking down as he spoke. After that, everything was blank. My mind held nothing.I learned what had happened the day I was shot by someone I trusted. It was intense and unimaginable. Thinking back to the person Yuan had shown himself to be while we were together, and how he had repeatedly made me feel that he loved me, I couldn’t believe it. I just c

    I felt like I was about to faint from exhaustion. All the pain and suffering I had kept hidden from everyone seemed to be spilling out now, consuming me. At that moment, I felt completely spent, with nothing left of myself. I was drowning in my rage, sorrow, and grief, and I didn’t even know how to swim.In the end, Yuan didn’t answer again. He just stood up and quietly left me in that room. I sobbed harder as I realized I was alone again. I wanted to go home, but I knew it wouldn’t be easy. I had no idea what they planned for me, and I was sure it wouldn’t be good.My eyes felt heavy as I opened them after a long sleep. The food on the side table came into view. I immediately got up and looked for a way to free myself from the ropes binding my hands and feet. As I scanned the room, I noticed a small storage box at the foot of the bed. I

    “Eat first.” I heard him say as he set the tray of food on the side table next to the bed where I was.My hands and feet were still tied. I stayed silent, sensing my surroundings. Right now, all I could think about was how to find a way out of this place.“Eat, Selina, and after that I will treat your wound,” he said softly again.“I don’t fucking need your help,” I said firmly, locking my gaze on him.His jaw tightened as he stared at me. It seemed like he was measuring how far his patience could stretch. I didn’t know what he was thinking. I couldn’t read the expression on his face, but I knew he could read mine. All my anger and hatred were screaming through my whole being, and I stared back even harder.He let out a sharp sigh and moved as if to approach me, so I became alert. I immediately stepped back, fueled by the anger I felt.“I’ll remove the bullet from your wound—”“Don’t you ever fucking touch me, I am warning you. I don’t fucking want to be held by you, so please stay aw

    “Selina, let’s fucking go. The professional army’s surrounding us—they’ll deal with the rest,” I heard Uncle whisper, but I didn’t listen.My gaze stayed fixed on Yuan, whose look seemed filled with hatred. I could feel the raw anger radiating from him.“You’re fucking too much, and I want you to suffer for it. I fucking hate you,” he spat, crossing the distance between us in a heartbeat.I was too stunned to move. Bullets rained around us, and a burning pain seared through my arm—I instinctively grabbed it.“Selina! Fucking—this is madness!” someone screamed.But I wasn’t focused on them. My attention was on the man who had hoisted me onto his shoulder. I couldn’t even struggle—my shoulder ached too much. I was bleeding, and it hurt like hell.“W-where are you taking me? Put me down!” I shouted, striking his back, but he didn’t budge.He ran faster as chaos swirled around us. Lifting my head, I saw Enrique Lim’s forces multiplying, scattering, trading bullets with the police.“L-let

    After that scene, I pushed forward toward the precinct. I learned that the police who were supposed to handle the two hadn’t arrived yet, so I returned to my car. I suddenly remembered the item, so I quickly retrieved it from where I had hidden it. I stared at it. When I looked up, the vehicle carrying the people who had destroyed my life and my family was right in front of me. I felt a surge of anger as I saw Yuan.I quickly hid it behind me and got out. I was about to take a step forward when gunshots ripped through the area. My soul almost left my body as I watched the police fall one by one, bleeding. Enrique Lim’s men were attacking the entire area. I knew it for sure.I quickly hid behind my car and scanned for Yvo and Lex. Some men approached Yuan and Enrique Lim, removing their handcuffs and handing them guns.

    I lazily walked over to the sofa across from Ethan’s bed and slowly sat down. I noticed Ethan glance at me for a brief moment, but I ignored it, too exhausted to care. Just as I settled in, my phone suddenly beeped. I grabbed it and read a text from Yvo.Yvo:We’re at the precinct. Enrique and Yuan were caught. Timothy is still missing and being searched for.I bit my lower lip after reading it. I suddenly wanted to go there just to see Yuan and hurt him for what he did to Ethan. Because of him, my suffering multiplied, and I didn’t know when it would end.I was about to type a reply when another message came in.Yvo:Don’t you dare come here, Selina. I’m warning y
