Selena opened her eyes slowly, greeted by the morning sunlight that slipped through the curtains on her bedroom window. However, her comfort was soon replaced by aches and pains all over her body. The woman grabbed her head, and with her eyes closed, she tried to remember what happened last night. However, her memories felt vague and blurry.When she woke up to look around, she realized she was in a luxurious bedroom surrounded by expensive furniture and decorations. However, something felt wrong. Selena felt around her bed, searching for the man's presence, but the bed was cold and empty; Cedric, who had been beside her, was not there.Anxiety began to creep into Selena's heart. She rose from her bed, feeling heavy and stiff. Trying to find Cedric or any sign of him, Selena opened her bedroom door cautiously.However, an eerie silence filled the penthouse corridor when she stepped out. The footsteps that usually accompanied her morning were nowhere to be heard. There was no sound oth

A few hours earlier.The blue sky washed the city with warm sunlight. Skyscrapers rose high, casting shrinking shadows on the busy streets. On the high floor of an office building, Sarah sat at the end of a round table in an elegant meeting room. An important meeting with a publishing company was in progress. However, her mind was torn between focusing on the meeting and a deep wave of jealousy.As a werewolf who had become a successful young executive in the human world, Sarah always appeared professional to her colleagues. Her neat white shirt and genuine smile hid her unpredictable emotional turmoil. Before the meeting begins, she receives a text message from her right-hand man, Maurice, informing her of something unexpected - Cedric, her cousin, is investigating a woman named Selena.Curiosity creeps into Sarah's mind. Who is Selena? Why is Cedric investigating her? Maurice, ever reliable, starts by giving Selena's background. She was a worker in a company owned by him; Selena was

Selena felt the warm water trickle down from the tips of her hair to the ends of her fingers. The sound of gurgling water and the fragrant vanilla scent of the soap she used filled Cedric's penthouse's luxurious bathroom. After a long and tiring day, bathing was a must for Selena. Instead, it was one of the best ways to eliminate all the distracting thoughts in her head.While in the shower, she tried calming herself down, hoping everything would turn out fine. However, her tranquility was interrupted by one inevitable fact: she still had to share a room with Cedric, a cold man who didn't seem to care about the awkwardness that was wrapped around Selena."Well, I hope that guy isn't as violent as usual," she said between washing her body. During that time, she instilled positive things to regain her composure and plan for freedom from the lustful man.After her shower, Selena stood in front of the mirror, looking at herself with her wet hair sliding down her shoulders, the tips of her

Cedric stepped into the penthouse with steady steps. His every move exudes confidence and an inherent luxury. He wears a black suit that hugs his body perfectly, a neatly pressed white shirt underneath, and an elegant tie that puts the finishing touches on his appearance. His well-groomed black hair and piercing eyes added an undeniably handsome impression.At the sound of the door opening, Selena, sitting on the sofa, turned her head and was surprised to see the arrival and the drastic change in Cedric's appearance. Her eyes were rounded and immobile as if hypnotized by his handsomeness. After a few seconds, Selena realized that her mouth was open wide without a sound."Cedric, you look amazing," Selena said in awe.Cedric just smiled and immediately approached his woman; Selena was still transfixed. She never imagined that a man like Cedric, who always looked severe and stiff, could be so charming in a black suit that was very different from befo

Sarah sat angrily in a luxurious room, the dim lamplight creating a mysterious atmosphere. With a pair of eyes that radiated anger, she looked around the room that was adorned with expensive decorations. No one knew that tonight would be a turning point in her life.Cedric, the man who had been the goal of her love life, was now a source of disappointment and anger. Next to him is Selena, the woman who made Cedric's heart turn away from him. Or rather, Cedric chose her over him. Sarah felt like her world was crumbling, and the only person she could call on to sort out this mess was Maurice, her confidant."Damn it!" screeched Sarah, creating a rumble between the expensive walls of the VIP room. The long hair that was usually neatly tied up was now scattered in all directions, reflecting the chaos in her heart.Maurice, a thin man with a sharp, experienced gaze, soon appeared in front of Sarah. "What's wrong, Madam? Why are you so angry?" he asked in a soft voice, trying to calm the yo
