Chapter 11

It took Selina less than half a month to learn the hunting grounds inside out.The Winthrop family dealt with old money and politicians because the hunting grounds were ideal places to discuss business.More than a dozen hunting grounds held tens of thousands of wild animals.Selina spent most of her time walking the grounds every day, and Adrian was at her side nearly every one of them.Because of that welcome party, everyone in the family knew who she was.In her last life, she had given up this chance for Susie. This time, she meant to hold on with both hands, and that determination brought pressure with it.Selina moved out of Adrian's estate.She took one of the cabins on the grounds. She could get used to living anywhere, but Adrian thought it was beneath her.So he had the cabin rebuilt into a large house of her own, with a garden laid out in front.He even thought to hire a gardener to keep it up for her.Selina said, "You really didn't have to go to the trouble. I've slept und

"Let him." Selina had been letting it go, little by little.Hearing Charles's name did nothing to her anymore."Say the word and I'll deal with it for you."Selina pressed her lips together, more moved than she wanted to be.Back when she was with Charles, Charles never discussed a single thing with her, never asked what she thought.There had been a client once who said the wrong thing to her at a party.Afterward Charles hired a hitman and had the man dealt with right in the street, and it was nearly traced back to them, which would have been a disaster.She had been the one to step in and clean it up and keep it quiet.She had told him afterward that he was too reckless, and he thought it proved he loved her and wanted to protect her, and saw nothing wrong with what he'd done.And somehow, back then, Selina had let that argument convince her.Strange, looking back on it.Coming out of the office, Selina felt unsettled. To take the edge off it, she threw herself into work.Every day

Selina simply felt that nothing was going her way today.Seeing how cold she was, Charles softened all over and lowered his head. "I know everything that happened."I know all of it was Susie. It was her, and if she hadn't called me, I never would have gone to Sicily to bring her back."I've already thrown her out. There will be nothing between us ever again. I was only good to her because she was your sister. I was thinking of you."I'm begging you, stop being angry with me, please?"Selina found the whole speech nauseating, and said coldly, "We're divorced. Please stop bothering me."You've seen for yourself now, so let me be clear. I don't want anything to do with you and I don't want to see you again."Tears filled Charles's eyes. He reached for Selina, but she slipped away from him with ease.His hand hung in the air, unsure what to do with itself."I know you won't forgive me easily, but you must still love me. I know I shouldn't have brought Susie back."There will never be a ne

That same day she went back to the grounds to pack.And again, she used the side gate.But she had barely stepped out of the car when a figure rushed at her and grabbed her wrist, stopping her short.Selina's head snapped around.Charles stood before her looking ruined, his suit torn and his uncut hair a tangled mess."Selina, will you just let me explain?"You won't even give me a chance to explain, over Susie? After all the years we've been together!"There was no sympathy in Selina, only endless disgust."Enough!"Charles was so startled by the shout that he froze.Selina had never lost her temper at him like that. Even in their worst arguments, she had never let it get away from her."Selina, don't be like this, we can talk."I've been waiting out here over a month. Can you really be that hard?"Selina threw his hand off in distaste."Everything you've done only makes me hate you more."Did I make you wait out here for a month? Why should I be soft about it? What are you to me?"Ch
