CHAPTER 67

Selene did not sleep that night. She lay in silence, staring up at the ceiling, her body still but her mind in turmoil.

She pressed her hand against her stomach, feeling the subtle changes that had begun to show. The life growing inside her was the only thing that mattered now.

It would be morning any minute. She remained in her room while Damien slept in his, probably resting peacefully, unaware that his world was about to shift. She had decided to leave tonight, and now she waited for Lady Lina.

At four-thirty in the morning, she rose without hesitation. She moved through her room in practiced silence, her bare feet making no sound on the cold marble floor. She had learned to be quiet in this house—it was a survival skill she had mastered long ago.

She packed only what mattered. A single coat, soft and oversized, hiding the slight swell in her lower stomach. Two changes of clothes, nothing that would be missed immediately.

The appointment was for next week, in a clini

  • REVENGE AND DESIRE   HUNT HER DOWN

    CHAPTER 68The phone on Damien's desk vibrated once. He ignored it. Then it vibrated again, more insistent this time, like a silent alarm demanding attention. Damien remained perfectly still, his eyes fixed on the corner of the desk as if staring hard enough could erase the need to react.His thoughts weren't on stocks or headlines or the ten messages waiting in his inbox. They were stuck in the silence of the room next door. He was thinking about Selene,it's been two days since she left and yet nothing from her.He has searched everywhere in this city but yet he has no clue of where she is. Zayne pushed the door open without pausing to knock. His expression was unreadable as he crossed the room with deliberate confidence. Damien barely reacted. His posture remained unchanged, like a man too used to holding still when the world began to fall apart.Zayne tapped the screen once and left it facing up on the table. The message preview displayed only two words—her name, "Selene Lancas

  • REVENGE AND DESIRE   PERFECT

    CHAPTER 66The morning sun filtered through the curtains, casting golden streaks across the empty bed. Selene's hand reached across the cold sheets where Damien should have been, her fingers curling around nothing but silk and disappointment. He hadn't come home after he left with Zayne yesterday.Her stomach twisted with nausea that had nothing to do with the pregnancy and everything to do with the conversation she'd overheard yesterday. She pressed her palm against her abdomen, feeling the secret life growing there, the tiny heartbeat that matched her own racing pulse.The pregnancy symptoms were stronger today. Her body felt different, more sensitive, more aware of every sensation. She stood slowly, gripping the bedpost as a wave of dizziness washed over her. The mirror reflected back a woman she barely recognized, her eyes holding shadows that hadn't been there a week ago.Selene made her way downstairs, the familiar sounds of the estate greeting her like old friends. But today

  • REVENGE AND DESIRE   MAKE IT WORSE

    CHAPTER 65 The morning felt like glass—clear, delicate, and seconds from shattering.Selene stood beneath the sterile lights of a private hospital wing, her hands braced against the cold counter as she signed her name. Her fingers trembled slightly, not from fear, but from the sheer numbness that had taken hold since dawn. Everything around her moved in silence, as though the world itself had gone mute to allow her to break in peace.She hadn’t spoken since she arrived.Not to the nurse who checked her in.Not to the technician who drew her blood.Not even to the doctor now seated across from her, holding a single sheet of paper between careful hands, as if the results themselves could shatter with a breath.“Mrs Lancaster,” the doctor said gently, using the kind of voice reserved for those standing at the edge of something life-altering. “You’re pregnant.” he dropped the bomb.The words didn’t echo. They didn’t rattle her bones or crash through her ribs. They simply… settled.Selen

  • REVENGE AND DESIRE   SELENE. WHAT ARE YOU HOLDING UNTO?

    CHAPTER 64 The storm had passed, but the damage remained.Selene sat alone in the sunroom, watching the soft gray mist still hanging over the estate grounds. Her body remained completely still, her spine upright yet heavy. Her hands, folded neatly in her lap, refused to move. The windows no longer rattled with thunder, but her world had not calmed. Not truly. Not inside.Lady Lina had entered earlier, leaving a tray of untouched food beside her on a low marble table. She had not spoken. She had only placed her hand gently on Selene’s shoulder, offering a silent kind of comfort, and walked away. Selene did not remember saying thank you. She barely remembered Lady Lina leaving at all.The silence was worse than the storm because it was real,it could not be outrun and it demanded attention.She didn’t want to cry. Crying would mean she still had something left to mourn. But it wasn’t sadness that knotted her ribs now,it was something sharper. Something bitter that would not soften, no m

  • REVENGE AND DESIRE   SO MUCH FOR TRYING TO FIX THINGS

    CHAPTER 63 Selene rose early that morning, not because she had slept well or because the house was quiet, but because guilt had stolen the last remnants of rest from her body. Damien’s voice haunted her, the weight of his words pressing against her ribs. The look he had given her still burned in her memory—as if she had taken something sacred, as if she had become the enemy in her own home.She dressed slowly, choosing the soft beige robe tucked in the back of the wardrobe. It was not a seductive choice. She chose it because it was the last thing Damien had ever touched her in. The last thing he had slowly peeled from her shoulders without rage, without coldness.Downstairs, the estate felt heavier than it had the day before. The silence was not peaceful, instead it was punishing.Julius stood at the base of the stairwell, watching her descend. He did not say a word. He asked no questions. He simply gave her a look that felt like permission—a silent acknowledgment that she was runn
