تسجيل الدخولSelene stood in front of the mirror, staring at her reflection for a few seconds before finally picking up her purse.
She was wearing a midnight-blue dress that fitted her perfectly, hugging her figure in all the right places while still maintaining an elegant and sophisticated look. Her long hair fell loosely over her shoulders, and the subtle makeup on her face made her features look even more striking.
She adjusted one of her earrings before taking one last look at herself.
Selene didn’t know how it happened, but the next thing she knew they were already in their house.Lucien was setting her down on the bed.She barely had time to process what was happening before he leaned over her, trapping her beneath him. His face was dangerously close to hers, his eyes burning with lust as he ogled her body.“Where did that man touch you? Hmm… Did he touch you here?” Lucien grabbed her waist, his hand slowly crawling inside her dress, caressing the soft and tender skin.“Ughhh… No… stop it!” Selene pushed against his chest, but being drunk, she had no power over him. Lucien caught her wrists with one hand easily and pinned them above her head.He leaned down, his breath fanning over her neck.“Was he able to touch you here?” Lucien asked teasingly, his hand moving upwards.His mind was filled with resentment right now. He had seen that man’s hand touch her all over. At that moment, all he could think about was what might have happened if he hadn’t arrived on time.
Hours passed and the drinks kept coming.By then, Selene’s cheeks were flushed, her body felt unusually warm, and her head had become strangely light.She blinked several times, feeling the room swaying whenever she moved.“I’m fine,” she muttered to herself. But she wasn’t entirely sure anymore.She continued dancing with Mia and Klare, laughing at something Klare said, when suddenly an uncomfortable feeling crawled over her skin.Selene’s smile slowly faded as she felt someone watching her.She glanced around. There were hundreds of people surrounding them, all moving beneath the flashing lights. Yet somehow, she could feel someone’s gaze on her.Her eyes slowly traveled upward, and just then, she saw a figure of a man standing on the second floor, leaning slightly against the railing while staring directly at her.Selene’s heart skipped.She narrowed her eyes, tryi
Selene stood in front of the mirror, staring at her reflection for a few seconds before finally picking up her purse.She was wearing a midnight-blue dress that fitted her perfectly, hugging her figure in all the right places while still maintaining an elegant and sophisticated look. Her long hair fell loosely over her shoulders, and the subtle makeup on her face made her features look even more striking.She adjusted one of her earrings before taking one last look at herself.When she was satisfied, she grabbed her purse and left.A little while later, she stepped out of her car and looked up at the large illuminated sign above the entrance.VANTA.Selene sighed.She hadn’t been to a place like this in a long time.Just as she was about to walk inside, her phone vibrated.She glanced down and her smile immediately disappeared reading the message.Lucien: Where are you?Another message appeared.
She narrowed her eyes on Lucien.“What are you doing?”“You were smiling.”“So?”Lucien glanced at the screen before looking back at her.“Care to tell me what made my wife smile like that?”“Give me my phone.”Instead, Lucien looked down at the message. After reading it, his expression darkened further.“No.”Selene stared at him.“No, what?”“You’re not going.” He snapped.“Excuse me?” She asked, confused.“You heard me.” Lucien said with a serious face, his expression turning sour.She reached for her phone, but he moved it out of her reach like a child.Her mouth fell. She couldn’t believe what he was doing right now.“Who are you to decide where I can go?” She gritted her teeth.“I am your husband.”
Selene was in the middle of reviewing a contract when Adrian appeared at the entrance of her office again for the third time that day.“Mrs. Voss.”Selene slowly lifted her eyes from the documents spread across her desk.“Yes?”Her voice sounded perfectly calm.Unfortunately, the expression on her face said something entirely different.It practically screamed, What does he want this time?Adrian gulped.He had worked with Lucien long enough to know that his boss could be terrifying, but at that moment, he found Selene’s dead stare far more intimidating.“Mr. Voss…” he began hesitantly. “Would like to see you.”Selene stared at him blankly.Again?Adrian gave her an apologetic smile. “He said it’s urgent.”Selene leaned back in her chair and slowly exhaled through her nose.This was already the third time Luc
Her breath caught.Stefan was walking toward them.Unlike the calm and composed man she remembered, there was desperation written all over his face. His usually neat appearance was slightly disheveled, and his eyes were fixed solely on her, as if the entire room had disappeared.Lucien who was beside her felt her stiffness. His eyes locked on Stefan like a wolf. The playful smile on his lips didn’t disappear. If anything, it widened.Selene glanced at him from the corner of her eye, already sensing the danger behind that smile.She knew Lucien well enough.Whenever he looked this calm, it usually meant he was anything but.His arm around her waist tightened as Stefan finally stopped in front of them. His eyes immediately dropped to Lucien’s hand resting possessively against Selene’s waist.A pained expression flashed across his face.Then his gaze returned to her.“Is it true?”
