“That’s his elder brother, and this is him,” Astrid said, sliding her hand on the phone as a picture of Sebastian's younger brother revealed itself.Selena smiled nervously. She had dated Sebastian for five months, but the relationship ended when Sebastian's family traveled out of the country with them.Sebastian didn’t exactly put an end to their relationship, but she had lost communication with him afterward and moved on with her life, it wasn’t like it was anything serious, they had kissed and gone to the movies a couple of times, her mother wasn’t even aware of the relationship.“Jerry.... Jeremy,” Astrid chuckled. “They are both handsome, more reason why Axel shouldn’t know about them because I don’t want him ruining their pretty faces,” Astrid added collecting her phone from Selena.Selena had wanted to inform Axel despite Astrid's plea but now she wasn’t sure she wanted to, telling Axel would lead to Axel telling Aiden and she wasn’t sure Aiden would be pleased to hear that Ast

"Have the ribbons placed just above the line," Selena ordered the maids, who were busy setting things in order for the ball."Which cup should I use, madam?" One of the maids asked, rushing to her side with two cups in hand: one was a gold cup, and the other was a glass cup that had a slender shape.Selena collected the two cups, examining them. Even though most people didn't pay close attention to cutlery at the event, the cups were important because everyone was bound to drink something at some point."Can we have a glass cup slender like this but with just the tip gold?" Selena asked. She didn't like the gold cup as it was hard to tell the content, and the last thing she wanted was to drink what she couldn't see.Yes, ma'am, something like this?" The maid asked, reaching into her apron pocket and bringing a cup that matched Selena's description. "I wasn't sure you would like it.""The plates and cutlery should also have this decor," Selena stated."Of course, Ma," the maid nodded,

Selena staggered back her mind trying to comprehend what Axel had just said to her, She couldn’t believe his words or she didn’t want to bring herself to. Did Axel love her? How was this possible? She could have sworn that every time that Axel had thrown her a glare, she thought he hated her but with his confession, it meant that his hatred was hate, it was jealousy.Every time he had to look at her by Aiden’s side, he was reminded of his feelings for her and the fact that he couldn’t tell her. This was what Aiden meant when he said he didn’t want to remember because he was scared he would remember something he wished he didn’t, Aiden must have regained a fragment of that memory.It explained his recent behavior, he wasn’t mad at her but at the fact that he now knew his brother was in love with the woman he loved and he feared that he might have been too late but how had she not noticed Axel’s interest in her, how had she not noticed any sign.“Selena,” Axel groaned trying to get out

Selena's heart fluttered as she locked eyes with Aiden, her grip tightening around his hand. Even though his eyes were concealed behind a black mask, she could still sense his penetrating gaze directed solely at her. A hidden smile stretched across her face as she gazed in awe at the impeccably tailored suit he had on. Every line and contour was perfect, accentuating his strong physique and enhancing his undeniable charm.In that moment, it felt as if the entire ballroom had fallen into a hushed silence, their attention solely fixated on Aiden and Selena.The glimmering chandeliers overhead seemed to cast an ethereal glow on both of them. Selena couldn't help but feel a surge of pride that the most captivating man in the room was Aiden, her husband."You look beautiful Selena," Aiden muttered but Selena didn't reply his compliment, her gaze straight ahead at the four men they were approaching. She had seen three of them on the file Axel had presented to her just incase Aiden memory st

CHAPTER 130“Say something Selena, your silence is killing me,” Aiden confessed as he twirled Selena around bringing her back closer to him, his hand holding onto her waist.“Why haven’t you died yet?” Selena asked but she didn’t mean it.“What did he say to you?” Aiden asked now that Selena had finally spoken to him, he looked into her eyes waiting for her to say something as a playful smile fell on her face again, and he wondered what could be funny.“I was just thinking about you,” Selena confessed.“Me?”“Yeah, where is Axel? I am yet to see him,” Selena asked, her eyes darting from Aiden’s to the guest, or was he in so much pain, he decided to retire back into his room?“Tell me,” Aiden pleaded.“He said he missed me but I am not sure I heard what he said afterwards because I was thinking about how badly you wanted to hurt him,” Selena said meeting his eyes.“He missed you?”“High school fling.”“I don’t like the sound of that,” Aiden stated placing his hand on her chin as he lea
