Rejected

Lucien’s eyes didn’t leave hers for even a split second.He had no idea what was going through Selene’s mind. He had expected her to laugh at him, call him ridiculous. He had prepared himself for every possible rejection.What he hadn’t prepared for was her silence.Her eyes were filled with confusion, uncertainty, and something else he couldn’t quite name.She wasn’t pushing him away though. Is it possible that she felt something for him too?“Selene, I…”“Stop kidding around, Lucien.”Her words immediately snapped him back to reality.Lucien blinked. “What?”Selene avoided his gaze and gathered the plates from the table, desperately trying to regain her composure.“Thanks for the food. I’m going back to my room.”Lucien stared at her. This time, he didn’t stop her from leaving. He simply watched as she w

More Than You Know

Selene had barely finished gathering her things when her phone rang.She glanced at the screen and her father's name appeared. Her expression immediately hardened.“Hello?” She answered.“Where are you?” Her father’s voice was stern.Selene frowned. “Why?”“I’ve seen the news.”Her heart sank. “What news?” She tried to sound oblivious.“Don’t pretend you don’t know, Selene. The entire internet is talking about Lucien again. Do you have any idea what this is doing to our family’s reputation? I told you to divorce him already. I have a friend whose son is looking for a wife. If you divorce Lucien you can still find yourself a better husband.”Selene closed her eyes.So the reason why he wants me to divorce Lucien is so he can set me up again with another son of one of his business partners? Am I really just an investme

Misunderstanding

It took Selene some time to make her way back to the city.When she finally arrived, she quickly headed straight to the hotel where Adrian had told her the press event for the partnership between Amore and Voss would be held.She stepped out of her car and immediately made her way inside the elevator. The event was being held on the twenty-fourth floor.Just as the elevator doors were about to close, a hand suddenly slipped between them.The doors opened again.Selene lifted her head and froze when she saw Stefan standing there, slightly breathless.“Stefan,” she muttered, her brows clenched together.Stefan looked equally surprised to see her. “Selene.” He quickly stepped inside.Selene’s eyes wandered over him, taking in his slightly disheveled hair and crooked tie. She couldn’t help but chuckle. I guess old habits die hard.“Did you get up late again?”St

Broken

Selene watched from the sidelines as Lucien and Stefan shook hands for the cameras, both men wearing perfectly composed smiles despite the tension that had been hanging between them since the event started.The flashes continued for several seconds before the photographers finally moved on.Selene, however, could barely focus on the event anymore.Her eyes kept searching for Lucien.She needed to explain what had happened. She didn’t know why, but the thought of him misunderstanding the situation had been bothering her.When the event finally ended and the guests began leaving, she tried searching for Lucien but he was nowhere around.Selene immediately approached Adrian.“Where is Lucien?”Adrian hesitated before answering. “Umm… Boss has already left.”Her heart sank. “He left?”Adrian nodded. “He said he had something to do.”Selene lowered her

Vacation

He quickly caught up with Selene by the stairs as he caught her hand, stopping her. Selene didn’t look at him, but Lucien could tell she was crying profusely.“Selene,” he muttered carefully.Selene didn’t say anything, instead she tugged her hand back and continued walking down.Lucien was torn. He had never seen her cry before. And he hated that she was crying because of his stupidity, he was just so angry earlier.“Selene… I… I didn’t mean it.” He tried to explain.Selene stopped, her shoulders shaking. Finally after almost ten seconds of silence, she turned around, her eyes puffy. “It’s okay. I’m used to it.” She smiled, chuckling a bit, but there was something terrible seeing someone smiling and crying at the same time. Lucien felt even more terrible that she made her feel this way. If only he could turn back time he wouldn’t have done it.“I think we need some space, away from each other for a while.” Selene s

Coral Island

Selene could feel the salty breeze against her face as she stood on the deck, staring at the endless stretch of ocean surrounding them.The yacht moved steadily across the water, carrying them farther away from the city and everything she had been trying so desperately to escape.There were seven of them aboard.Mia, Klare, Brandon, and two of their old college friends, Luke and Sofia.Selene smiled faintly when she saw the others laughing together. It had been a long time since all of them had managed to gather like this, and despite being apprehensive earlier, she was starting to look forward to spending a few days with her friends.At least, she had been. Not until she lifted her eyes and saw the man she least expected to see.Standing on the upper deck was Stefan. Selene stared at him for several seconds, wondering if exhaustion had finally caused her to hallucinate. She rubbed her eyes, but when she opened them again, Stefan was still there.“What is he doing here?”Mia, who had b

Under The Moonlight

Right at Voss Corp. Lucien sat inside his office. His face twisted enough to make the man in front of him pee in fright.“Revise this and bring it back to me tonight.” He ordered, throwing the document on the table.The employee standing in front of him nearly jumped.“Yes, sir.”Lucien’s expression remained cold as he bore his eyes at his employee as if he was firing a bullet into his body. “If you can’t fix it, then don’t bother coming back tomorrow.”The poor employee nodded briskly and hurried out of the office.Lucien leaned back in his chair and massaged his temples. He had been in a terrible mood all day or rather for a whole week now. He couldn’t concentrate. Every time he tried, his mind somehow wandered to Selene wondering how she was.He closed his eyes and leaned back for a few minutes before his phone suddenly rang.He glanced at the screen an

Silent Plea

For one foolish second, Selene believed it was him.She slowly turned around, her heart beating erratically. However, her expression immediately changed when she saw it was Stefan.She doesn’t know if she was relieved or disappointed.Stefan noticed the brief flicker in her eyes. “Sorry,” he said with a small chuckle. “I didn’t mean to startle you.”Selene shook the thoughts in her head and smiled. “It’s fine.” She touched the jacket around her shoulders and hugged it closer to her body. She hasn't rejected the gesture since it was actually freaking cold. She was just wearing a loose white shirt and shorts so her body was freezing, probably since she touched the water, but she was too immersed in the scenery to notice it.“Why aren’t you with the others?” She asked.Stefan chuckled. “I could ask you the same thing.”“You know me. I&r

Frustration

Lucien didn’t speak a single word as he dragged Selene away from the beach.His fingers were wrapped tightly around her wrist, his grip firm enough to make her skin burn beneath his touch, yet strangely, it was the coldness in his expression that unsettled Selene most. “Lucien, let go of me.”Selene tried to pull her hand free, but he didn’t even spare her a glance.“Lucien!” she called again, her voice rising with frustration as she struggled against his hold. “Where are you taking me?”Lucien continued walking pretending not to hear her, his shoulders were rigid, his jaw clenched so tightly, the images of earlier still fresh in his head. If he arrived a minute late, would they have done it? Just thinking about it makes his blood boil again.Selene stared at his back, he had never seen him look quite like this before.She had seen Lucien angry. She had seen him irritated, jealous, arrogant, and even cruel when his pride was wounded, but this was different. When they finally, they
