Selene's Pov

When I woke up, the first thing I felt was the softness of the sheets against my skin and the heaviness of silence in the room.

My body ached, but not painfully—just a reminder that I was alive. I stretched lazily, letting out a small yawn, and then turned my head.

Collin's was still beside me.

He was lost in sleep, breathing steadily, his chest rising and falling with such calmness it made me pause. For a moment, I simply stared. There was something disarming about seeing him like this, without the sharpness in his eyes or the weight of his uniform pressing on his shoulders. Just him. Just a man asleep.

I couldn’t help myself—I leaned in closer. His features drew me in as if some invisible thread had tightened around me. His eyebrows were perfectly shaped, his eyelashes unfairly long, almost delicate, giving him a softness that clashed with the hardened soldier I knew he was. There was an innocence to his face, but one laced with a kind of unholy temptation tha

  • No Longer A Fool For You    Surprised

    Selene’s POVSarah tossed her hair back and scoffed, her lips curling into that same arrogant smirk that always made me want to claw it off her face. “Whatever,” she sneered, her voice dripping with mockery. “You can talk all you wants, but I know I’m self-justified.”I blinked at her, Self-justified? Did she even hear herself?Mata’s chair scraped loudly against the floor as she pushed it back and rose to her feet. Her eyes burned like fire as she slammed her palm against the table. The plates rattled, a glass nearly tipped over. “Self-justified?” she barked, her voice sharp enough to slice the air in two.Sarah flinched but quickly covered it with another scoff.“You’re self-justified that you took a loan from a loan-shark and shoved the punishment on me too?!” Mata’s chest heaved as she pointed a trembling finger at her. “Made me take the fall for your reckless, idiotic choices? Tell me, Sarah, is that your grand definition of being justified?”I froze in my seat because I certai

  • No Longer A Fool For You    Too Unreal

    Selene’s POVMata’s smile.That was what caught my attention the most. Of all the faces around the long dining table, it was hers that unsettled me—because it wasn’t the usual cold sneer I had grown used to, but something softer, almost… warm. My brows furrowed slightly as I studied her, my mind questioning what game she was trying to play this time.Before I could dwell on it longer, the grand doors opened behind us. The faint creak of the hinges echoed through the hall, and I turned my head.A line of waitresses entered in perfect sequence, carrying gleaming trays that shimmered beneath the chandelier lights. Their steps were precise, their postures rigid, as though they were trained soldiers in some silent march. The rich aromas of roasted meats, spiced stews, and freshly baked bread floated into the room, mingling with the subtle scent of expensive wine already poured into crystal glasses.When the waitress nearest to me stopped and lowered a dish onto the table, my eyes widen

  • No Longer A Fool For You    Secret

    Selene's Pov Yes… I was finally here. I had finally decided to attend the last family dinner, just as Matthew had insisted. It was strange, almost laughable, how those words “family dinner” sounded in my head. Did I even belong to this family anymore?. The moment I stepped into the event hall—the same one I had walked into the very first time after my rebirth as a calming sensation washed over me. It was odd, like stepping into a memory, except this time I carried with me something new: freedom. A taste of independence that no one here could strip away from me. My eyes swept over the table. Everyone was seated just as they always had been. Evelyn, Sarah, Martha… and Matthew. What caught me off guard was Mata. She was smiling at me. Her smile wasn’t wide, but it was there, sitting strangely on her faceWhich was unusual was and Sarah… Sarah was still Sarah. Her sharp, frowned expression stabbed at me the way it always had, her eyes filled with that familiar resentment. I ig

  • No Longer A Fool For You    A Long Time

    Collins’ POV Aiden shifted uncomfortably in his seat, scratching the back of his head as though the words he wanted to say were caught somewhere in his throat. “Um, boss…” he began slowly, voice uncertain, i have, but… I think you probably even have more experience than me.” I studied him for a moment, the corner of my mouth twitching at his awkwardness. Maybe he was right, maybe he wasn’t. With a quiet sigh, I pushed myself up from my chair, letting my hands slide into my pockets. My steps carried me from one end of the room to the other, the sound of my shoes echoing softly against the wooden floor. “Well… maybe and maybe not,” I muttered, my gaze lingering on the framed picture hanging on the far wall. “You know something, Aiden?” My voice dropped, thick with a weight I hadn’t let anyone hear in years. “It’s been so long. So many years have passed, and sometimes I feel like I’m not really capable of doing… that stuff again. Like the version of me that once thrived

  • No Longer A Fool For You    What was That About

    Collins Pov The car had barely stopped before I shoved the door open and jumped out. My chest was tight, anger burning through my veins like fire. I didn’t even bother shutting the car door properly—I stormed across the driveway and into the house. “Dad!” I shouted, my voice echoing through the grand hallway. My steps were heavy, almost stomping, as I moved deeper inside. “Dad!” “I’m right behind the—bar, son,” came his calm, unhurried voice from the hallway at the back. I didn’t wait as I marched straight toward him, fists clenched at my sides. . When I finally saw him, he was standing there with a glass of wine in his hand, looking as though nothing in the world could ruffle him. That calm expression only made my frustration boil hotter. “Dad, what was the meaning of that today?” I snapped, my voice sharper than I intended. “Why did you have to do something so—so embarrassing to me?” My father arched a brow, unfazed. “Collins,” he said slowly, with that maddening pa

  • No Longer A Fool For You    Leave

    Selene's Pov was still carrying the weight of the meeting as we walked down the corridor, the sound of footsteps echoing faintly against the marble floors after we had finished escorting the President out. My mind was already shifting to the pile of work waiting on my desk when I noticed Collins walking just a step behind me, his pace slower than usual, as though something was holding him back. I stopped without warning, and almost instantly, Collins brushed into me from behind. He stumbled slightly and quickly caught himself, his voice rushing out in a low, apologetic tone, “Oh—I’m sorry, ma.” I turned around slowly, my eyes settling on him. There was something restless in the way his gaze shifted, something unspoken that tugged at the edge of his composure. Folding my arms lightly, I tilted my head and asked, “What’s got you distracted, Collins? Tell me, is anything on your mind?” For a moment, he hesitated, as though weighing whether to speak or hold it back, and then
