SELENE’S POV The feeling was awkward for Dario, but it was very annoying for me in a way that I never thought was possible.“You seem to be in love with him.” I got rid of the silence, looking directly into Dario’s eyes.I even continued staring at him when I saw that he was not comfortable with it and wanted me to stop. Then he looked down at once, pretending as though he was searching for something on the floor.“I see the look in your eyes, Dario. I don’t think that you had that look when you thought about me.” I took a deep breath, and instead of continuing with the utterance that annoyed me, I decided to keep quiet. Dario cleared his throat, and then he took a deep breath which he let out slowly.“Are you ever going to forgive me, Selene?” He asked, but that was a very difficult question for me, especially with what I had seen.He had kept the phone away, but the image seemed as though it was inside my head and was not going to leave.“I am sorry, Selene. I know that words alo
SELENE’S POV Caspian didn’t seem like he cared about the fact that Vera needed some money, but she seemed like she was still very confident that he was going to give her whatever amount she mentioned. Then she began to make some calculations that looked like it was going to take forever before she could finish.“I think I will need about five million dollars.” She said casually, and I gasped.I almost choked on the water I was drinking, and I managed to wipe some that dropped on my body.She glared at me like I was her enemy, and she seemed not to care about my opinion. “The shoes I plan to get are quite expensive, Caspian. Then there is this designer bag that I saw on the internet, it’s about two hundred thousand dollars. Then there is this dress…” She was busy trying to make all the explanations in the world, and Caspian silently picked up his phone from the table.“Done.” He said with a smirk, and then he returned his phone to the table.Vera who had been silenced by him grabbed
SELENE’S POV The lady walked up to Caspian with her smile intact, and then she bent behind him and wrapped her hands around his neck.“Caspian love!” She seemed very excited, leaning closer to his neck and placing a kiss on it. “What are you doing here, Vera?” Caspian asked with a frown. He didn’t look very pleased to see the young lady.“I have been trying to reach you, but you weren’t taking my calls, so I decided to come pay a visit to my man!” Vera didn’t seem like she was bothered by whatever our opinions about her were at that moment. But I was surprised. If I had made my calculations right, she was not so much older than me, young enough to be Caspian’s daughter.I turned to Dario, and the fact that he didn’t seem pleased to see her was written all over his face. “Hello, Dario.” Vera waved at him, but her smile vanished the moment he frowned at her.“I think I will leave now,” Dario said calmly, and after taking a glance at me, he walked away with his food and water.Vera s
SELENE’S POV I was convinced that Caspian was going to hit me, but I had hid my face for more than ten seconds without feeling even the slightest touch.Then I looked up to see him looking down at me with a smirk.“You learn fast, Selene. You are becoming just like your father.” He extended his hand to my face and lifted it up from my chin. I couldn’t look into his eyes, they seemed like they were trying to compel me to do something that I didn’t want to. “You have Lucian’s eyes. I wonder what would happen when you grow up?” Caspian unhanded me when he was satisfied with looking at me. Then I was able to catch my breath and took several steps away from him. “Were you going to hit me?” I asked when I saw that he was still staring at me with a smirk. “I am famished, Selene. I think we should go have breakfast.” He walked away, ignoring everything that I said. I was hungry as well, I couldn’t even imagine that I had stayed hungry for hours since I woke up.It was just the first d
CASPIAN’S POV I stood in front of the mirror, wondering why I had to hide because my son was knocking at the door to Selene’s room. I felt a sting of guilt inside my skin while I looked at my reflection in the mirror, unable to figure out what to do next.“What are you doing?” I asked myself, wondering what would happen if Dario saw me in there. Hearing the suggestion he made to Selene made me angry and sad at the same timeI was angry because it appeared that my son wasn’t scared of what I could do to him, and sad because it appeared that I had failed him as a father. But it was surprising to hear Selene saying that she didn’t like the idea. I was convinced that she was going to jump on it the moment Dario made the suggestion.Clearly, the threats I made to her were still deep inside her head, and she was afraid that her family could get hurt if she eloped with my son.Then Dario decided that he wanted to make use of the restroom. My heart began to beat very fast, and nothing I
SELENE’S POV Caspian didn’t like the fact that Dario was at the door. For some reason, he became very apprehensive and inched away slowly from me.“He can’t know that I am here.” He said with a whisper, and then he moved to the bathroom where he hid quietly. “Selene? I know you are in there!” Dario’s voice became louder, but he didn’t knock. “I promise not to waste your time!” He didn’t sound like he was going to leave. I couldn’t stop my heart from beating like it was trying to escape from my chest. My eyes were on the bathroom door while I stood up and walked up to the main door. I opened it slowly and watched as Dario stood in front of me silently for a while. “Is everything okay?” He asked like his instincts had told him that something was wrong.“Yes, Dario. Everything is alright, why?” I blocked him from looking inside my room, making sure that I didn’t open the door wide enough.“I am not sure. But you seem…” He searched for suitable words to use.“Jumpy.” He said. “You se
