Selene POV

However, I felt a rush of encouragement as I noticed her starting to slow down. I had to win this; a victory could put Caspien and me at the top of the scoreboard.

Seeing an opening, I threw a quick jab at her side, and she began to defend against my blows. The back-and-forth continued for what felt like an eternity, neither of us willing to yield. I needed to find a way to gain the upper hand in this fight. I picked up the pace in my strikes, and soon enough, I had her backed into a corner. Taking her down to the ground, I seized my chance to unleash a flurry of hits. I felt a twinge of guilt for hitting her so aggressively, but I had to do whatever it took. I aimed for sensitive spots, careful not to fracture any bones.

“Come on, Selene. Stop being such a coward and fight me!” Jessica yelled, flashing her bloodied teeth. This was clearly going to drag out longer. If she still had the energy to taunt me, she certainly still had energy to retaliate. Encouraged by her wo

    Selene POV"Let’s see how you handle the helicopters and me," he taunted."Try to stop the helicopters from entering the main City. I'll take on Lucian," the old man instructed.I hesitated, but his urgent tone compelled me forward.“Just one more thing,” he added, his eyes filled with concern. “The mole I mentioned weeks ago will reveal itself in this battle; beware.” As he rushed back into the fray with Lucian, his warning left me frozen in place. I scanned the battlefield, searching for any hint of betrayal among our soldiers.My thoughts were disrupted as a wyvern landed, devastating a quarter of our City with its tail.I stepped forward, channeling the energy from the new teaser. Gradually, I felt stronger than ever."Cast a spell on the wyvern! They will obey," the old man shouted, struggling against Lucian.I inhaled deeply and began to chant the enchantments. One by one, the helicopters roared and fell to their knees before me.The special unit ceased their assault, panic evi

    Selene POVCaspian and I were sitting on the balcony, appreciating the quiet of the evening, when the door flew open and Vincent rushed in.He looked agitated, his breathing rapid."They're here," he announced.Caspian released his grip on my shoulder and got to his feet. "How many soldiers did she bring?""About a million.""A million soldiers!" I exclaimed, turning to Caspian. "We don’t even have a hundred thousand. If they get in, our entire City will be destroyed.""Prepare the men. The special unit need to be positioned at the City borders, and the rest of the soldiers should gather everyone at the City mansion," Caspian commanded.Vincent nodded and left the room.I approached Caspian, who was gazing out the window, sighing heavily, clearly in disbelief."The battle has begun, and we’re at Jessica’s mercy," he lamented."Don’t say that," I replied, placing my hand on his shoulder. "We’ve come too far to lose hope now. Think of everything we could lose.""But I’m concerned. Jessi

    Selene POVFrom downstairs, I heard Vincent’s laughter echo through the halls, and I couldn’t help but smile.He was getting used to me.As I stepped out of the bedroom, I found him in the living room playing with toy cars while Caspian stood by the fireplace, engrossed in his phone."Good morning, sweetheart," I said, kneeling beside Vincent."Mama, look! I made a race track!" he exclaimed, beaming with excitement."Call her 'Aunty,'" he whispered, barely audible.I ignored it; I was used to the shift in his behavior.Later that evening, I entered the study to find Caspian sipping whiskey, his rolled-up sleeves revealing his muscular arms, engrossed in a book.Taking a deep breath, I stepped closer, my heart racing.This was my moment—I couldn’t let it slip away."We need to talk," I said softly.He glanced at me briefly. "Make it quick."I sat on a nearby couch, meeting his gaze. "It’s been months, Caspian. I’ve done everything to keep this family together. I’ve supported Vincent an

    Selene POVThe morning sun's rays stirred me from sleep. As I shifted to the other side of the bed, an unsettling calm enveloped the room.It wasn’t peaceful. Something felt off, and even with my eyes closed, I sensed a shift in energy that compelled me to open them.That’s when I noticed it.A brown envelope sat on the nightstand where Caspian usually placed my tea, whenever he remembered I existed.I pulled the envelope closer and saw my name written in Caspian's handwriting, but I hesitated to touch it.The room was unusually quiet for a Friday; there were no staff bustling around downstairs, nor could I hear Vincent's usual giggling in the hallway.Then, I sensed a presence.Caspian stood behind me, not too close, just watching from the doorway in his tailored suit.I slowly turned to face him, but he was absorbed in his phone."Caspian..." I called, and he looked up."What’s this?" I asked, waving the envelope at him.He glanced at the envelope, then back at me, shrugging."Say s

    Selene POVThe walk down the hallway felt endless, every detail suffocating.Eventually, we reached a brightly lit room filled with lavish décor and beautiful art.“Selene?” Turning, my breath caught at the sight of Jessica coming down the stairs toward me.“Oh my goodness, Jessica!” I exclaimed, rushing towards her, but she raised her hands.“So you’re the one Caspian has mentioned. Your father has brought great disgrace to my husband,” she said with contempt.“I don’t know anything about what you’re accusing me of. I’m just trying to support my mom; I didn’t grow up with a dad,” I defended myself.“Because he’s a murderer. Regardless, Caspian wants me to make sure you pay for what your father did,” she declared, turning and walking away, leaving me stunned.Three days after my unsettling interactions with Caspian and Jessica, I found myself cleaning the living room during one of Jessica's raucous parties.The air reeked of alcohol, and I knew better than to mention it or face embar

    Selene POV“Everything will be sorted once she returns home. Get the money, and we’ll escape to Venice together.”I was speechless, the shock of their conversation cascading around me.I quietly remained hidden, listening to their plans.“But Caspian wasn’t always this greedy,” Jerry remarked.Wait a minute…“Yeah, my father was generous, but billionaires account for every dollar moving in and out of their businesses.”Caspian was her father!The realization hit me hard, and I nearly gave myself away—but thankfully, they hadn’t noticed anything unusual.“Jerry?” I peered into the kitchen where my mom was, wheelchair-bound. “Oh my goodness, Jerry!” she gasped, shock visible in her eyes.“Who’s this old hag?” Karen questioned.Her words made my blood boil.“My wife’s mother. She’s a burden,” Jerry retorted, crushing my heart even further.“If we’re going to live together, I don’t want her in our apartment. She’s disgusting, and I’m being honest,” Karen declared.Watching Jerry stand up
