Chapter 61

"Selena, what does that mean?" Sofia asked, her voice rising as she pointed at the monitor on the dashboard.My fingers moved quickly to press the button disconnecting the Bluetooth. The display reverted to the main menu, cutting off the short message from Alexander before she could read any more of it."It's nothing, Sofa," I replied, trying to keep my voice steady, though my grip on the steering wheel tightened."How is that nothing?" Sofia turned her body toward me, her eyes wide with panic. "It clearly said your stepdad sent bodyguards to follow you from behind. Is he watching us?"I let out a slow breath, keeping my eyes fixed on the heavy traffic ahead. "Alexander is just like that. He's overly protective. His family business is going through some security issues, so he's being extra cautious about everyone in the house.""But the way he's doing it is terrifying, Selena," Sofia whispered, her voice low and hesitant. "He really ordered people to follow us in a bodyguard car behin

"Selena, here are the lecture notes from last week that you asked for," Jacob said, holding out a black notebook in front of the classroom.I took the notebook hesitantly. "Thank you, Jacob."Mindful of Alexander's strict message over the phone this morning, I intentionally took a step backward. I rested my back against the corridor wall, trying to maintain a safe distance from Jacob."You seem really awkward today," Jacob said with a small laugh. "Is something wrong?""Nothing," I answered quickly, averting my eyes toward the stairs. "I'm just a little tired."At the end of the hallway, three senior female students watched us from behind a pillar. One of them, wearing a red jacket, narrowed her eyes sharply at me. They whispered among themselves with arms crossed over their chests."Selena," called Sofia, who had just stepped out of the restroom. "Let's go inside, the professor is already in there.""I'll head in first, Jacob," I said briefly. I turned around and walked quickly to ca

Chapter 63

"Selena! What happened?!"Jacob's voice sounded panicked and breathless from the doorway of the warehouse. Through my blurred vision, obscured by tears, I could see his face turn deathly pale as he found me lying helpless in Alexander's arms.However, before Jacob could take a step closer, Sofia pushed his chest violently."Where have you been all this time, Jacob?!" Sofia snapped, her voice trembling and her eyes brimming with tears. "You act like you care, pretending to worry about Selena, but when she was dragged away and beaten, you were nowhere to be found!""I... I didn't know the seniors would..." Jacob stammered, trying to defend himself with a guilty expression."Shut up!" Sofia interrupted harshly, her chest heaving as she fought back her rage. "Don't pretend to care when your presence only brings trouble to Selena!"Above my head, I felt Alexander's chest tense. The gaze he leveled at Jacob was so cold and razor-sharp that it felt as though he could kill the man right then

Chapter 64

"It is so hot. Alexander, it is so hot in here. Ah, it burns."Selena's voice was hoarse and broken. Cold sweat soaked her forehead and neck. Her fingers dug hard into the edge of the leather seat."Selena? What is wrong? Where does it hurt?" Alexander asked quickly, gripping her shoulders."In my stomach. All the way up to my chest. It feels like I am burning inside, Alexander," Selena replied, her breath coming in ragged gasps. Her eyes were already losing focus."What happened back there? Tell me." Panic crept into Alexander's voice."Back at the warehouse, the seniors held my face down. They pressed into my cheeks so hard," she whispered."What else did they do to you? Tell me everything." Alexander's voice turned rigid, his eyes cutting sharp through the dim cabin light."A bitter liquid. It smelled foul, so strange," Selena babbled, struggling to draw air. "They forced my mouth open. They poured it down my throat.""What kind of liquid?" Alexander asked, his jaw clenching tight.

"Open the door now!"Alexander shouted loudly from inside the rear cabin before his driver even had a chance to step out. Without waiting for anyone's help, Alexander pushed the sedan door wide open. He gathered Selena into his arms, lifting her in a bridal carry, and strode out across the mansion grounds."Hot. Cold. Alexander, help me," Selena babbled hoarsely. Her arms were wrapped tightly around Alexander's neck, sending her scorching breath against his skin."Hold on, Selena. I have you," Alexander said, quickening his pace.Two house servants and a chief guard rushed toward the mansion's front door. Seeing Selena in Alexander's arms with her clothes disheveled, the servants bowed in panic."Sir Alexander, is there anything we can do to help?" the head servant asked anxiously. "Should we call the mansion physician right now?""Step back!" Alexander cut him off, cold and sharp. "Not a single one of you comes near the top floor tonight!""Yes, Sir!" the guard answered quickly. "We

"Look at me, Selena. Who is the man in front of you right now?"Alexander pinned both of Selena's wrists, locking them tightly against the sheets. His breathing was heavy, clashing against Selena's erratic, burning breath.Selena narrowed her eyes, trying to focus her blurry vision. "Alexander..." she whispered faintly."Say it again.""You... Alexander," Selena said, her voice firmer. "Please... I can't take this anymore, Alex. I want you..."Alexander's restraint shattered completely. His hands moved fast, stripping away the remaining damp clothes clinging tight to Selena's body, brushing against her warm skin until the garments landed haphazardly on the floor. A sudden wave of cool air swept across Selena's bare skin, making her flinch slightly. But the chill evaporated instantly as Alexander pressed his body against hers, smothering her beneath the weight and heat of his broad chest.Alexander brought his lips down onto Selena's. It was no ordinary kiss. He suckled her lower lip d

"Alexander? Why are you outside Selena's room at this hour?"My mother stopped in her tracks in the hallway. Her black leather work bag was still slung over her arm, and her face was filled with confusion.Alexander had just stepped out of my room, pulling the doorknob and shutting the door firmly behind him until a soft click echoed. He adjusted the rolled-up sleeves of his dress shirt, which rested at his elbows."You're home, Auntie?" Alexander greeted her calmly.My mother stepped closer, her eyes darting to my closed bedroom door before shifting back to Alexander. "Just got back. I saw your car parked outside and wondered what was going on. Where is Selena? She didn't answer when I called out from downstairs.""Selena is inside, Auntie. She's asleep," Alexander replied."Asleep? At this time?" My mother's brow furrowed. She shifted her weight, reaching out toward my doorknob. "She usually has classes or homework around this time. Is she sick?"Alexander shifted his body half a st

"Selena, are you awake, sweetheart?"My mother's voice was soft behind the door before the handle turned. I sat up on the edge of the bed, rubbing my face, which still felt a bit heavy. The morning sunlight filtered through the gap in the curtains, illuminating my neat room. The burning heat that had tortured my body yesterday afternoon was completely gone.My mother came in carrying a tray with a glass of warm water and a bowl of porridge. She set the tray on the small table, then sat beside me and pulled me into a tight hug."I was so worried yesterday," my mother whispered, her voice trembling slightly. "But Alexander guarded your bedroom door all afternoon. He wouldn't let anyone disturb your sleep until he was sure you were completely calm.""Alexander... hasn't he gone home yet?" I asked quietly, vaguely remembering how he had held me and soothed my pain last night."He's at the dining table downstairs," my mother replied, stroking my hair. "He slept on the living room sofa all

"Hang up the phone, Alex. They have no right to ask for mercy after what they did to Selena."My mother's voice shattered the silence in the dining room. Her gaze was fixed straight on Alexander, her husband. A gleam of pride and profound relief radiated clearly from her eyes. She stood tall beside the table, looking at Alexander with absolute trust. The man she married had just displayed absolute resolve to protect the stepdaughter he cared for so deeply.Alexander swiped the phone screen, abruptly ending the call without letting the bully's mother continue her wailing. The hysterical sobbing from the speaker was instantly cut off, leaving only the soft hum of the air conditioner."They thought their parents' money and positions could cover up their children's vicious actions on campus," my mother said as she stepped closer to Alexander. She reached out, gently stroking the sleeve of his shirt. "Thank you. You really protected Selena."Alexander turned his head, rubbing the back of m

Chapter 70

"You don't need to be afraid anymore, Selena. It's all over."My mother's voice was soothing as she held me on the edge of the bed. After the police sirens faded and the culprits were hauled away from the front gate, my mother had come straight to my room. Stroking my back gently, she tried to ease the lingering tension that still left my fingers ice-cold."Thank you, Mom," I whispered, resting my head on her shoulder."You should be thanking Alexander," my mother said, releasing her embrace to look into my eyes warmly. "He was the one standing on the front lines defending you. Now, go change your clothes and come downstairs. Let's have dinner together. You haven't eaten a thing since noon."I nodded softly. My mother patted my cheek gently before stepping out of the room.After washing my face and changing into comfortable clothes, I walked downstairs toward the dining room. The aroma of home-cooked food filled the air. At the dining table, my mother and Alexander were already sittin
