Semua Bab The Billionaire And His Temptress Wife: Bab 41 - Bab 50

The next morning, the island looked completely serene as the sun rose high in the horizon.The warm sunlight stretched across the beach, turning the ocean into a sparkling sheet of blue while the gentle breeze carried the smell of saltwater through the air.“So, guys, where are we going today?” Klare asked excitedly as she gathered her hair into a messy bun.“Maybe we can go island hopping,” Mia suggested. “I heard the other islands nearby are just as beautiful as this one.”“Is that a good idea?” Luke asked, glancing toward the horizon. “The weather seems a little gloomy.”Everyone turned to look at him, thinking he was being crazy again.Selene was sitting quietly on a blanket spread across the sand, wearing a long white dress that moved gently with the breeze. She lifted her gaze toward the sky before looking back at Luke with a soft smile.“The sun is up, Luke. I do

“Lucien, what is wrong with you? That wasn’t the right time to talk about what happened.”The moment they reached a secluded stretch of the beach, Selene yanked her wrist out of Lucien’s grasp and rounded on him.Lucien turned to face her, looking entirely unbothered.“I should be asking you the same question.”Selene stared at him in disbelief.“Lucien, what happened last night…”“Saying you didn’t mean it won’t change anything.” Lucien interrupted her, his expression suddenly growing serious. “I will pursue you no matter what you say to me.”Selene felt her head spin.“Lucien…”“I know I’m a messed-up guy.” He took a step closer, his voice quieter now. “But I can change. Just give me a chance.”He reached for her hand, gently enclosing her fingers in his palm as he looked at

It had been a whole year since Selene gave Lucien another chance, and sometimes, even now, she still found herself wondering how things had gotten to this point.Things between them weren’t perfect, of course. There were still moments when his stubbornness tested her patience, and his shameless teasing occasionally made her question whether she had married a grown man or an overgrown child.But she wouldn’t trade any of it.Their parents had finally learned to stay out of their marriage, leaving them to navigate their relationship on their own. Selene had also returned to her rightful position at Laurent Media, determined to prove that she was more than just the daughter of a wealthy businessman.For the first time in a long while, she felt as though she was living a life she had chosen for herself.And perhaps the most surprising part of it all was that she was happy.Genuinely happy.Even if she would rather swallow a handful of nails than admit just how hopelessly in love she had b

“Miss Selene?”A knock came from the already-open office door, but Selene’s gaze remained fixed on the large glass window in front of her.She had been staring outside for nearly an hour since arriving at the office, her thoughts seemingly miles away from the paperwork scattered across her desk.The coffee Feliz had brought her earlier remained untouched beside her laptop. It had already gone cold, yet Selene hadn’t even bothered to take a sip.“Miss Selene?”Feliz knocked again, this time a little louder.It was only then that Selene finally snapped out of her thoughts. She blinked, slowly turning her head toward the door with an almost blank expression.“What is it?” she asked, her voice unusually solemn.Feliz hesitated.She had only started working under Selene two months ago, having previously served Yvonne. In that short amount of time, however, she had already come to appreciate her new employer.Unlike Yvonne, Selene never made her feel inferior because of her position. She wa

Lucien walked toward them, immediately reaching for Selene’s wrist and pulling her to his side.Once she was safely beside him, he turned to Alessandro with a dangerous smile that would make anyone cower. Cole who was watching them wanted to quickly intervene, he knew that look from Lucien far too well. “I haven’t seen you in a while, Andro. I hope your trip overseas helped clear your head?” Lucien said in a well meaning tone, but the message clearly had a double meaning to it.Selene noticed Alessandro’s hand tightening into a fist.Oh, no.She could already sense trouble brewing, and knowing these two, she wouldn’t be surprised if the meeting ended with someone getting punched.“It did,” Alessandro replied, surprisingly composed. “And I’ve finally managed to set my priorities straight.”The corners of his lips slowly curled into a smile.“I left rather abruptly, and because of that, I lost someone very important to me.” His gaze shifted toward Selene, lingering on her meaningfully
