*Selene's POV*

I discreetly slipped the note into my bra and got myself another drink. This seemed too suspicious to be true.My mind ran on thousands of explanatitions.How did he know I will be here? Why would he–a now wanted man even attend a Blossom Ball in the first place.

I turned to face the room, and the group of elites and socialites continued chatting among themselves. Every now and then, the nosiest of the friend group will look my way and then continue talking.

Dominic glances were more frequent,he was socialising with a couple of businessmen by the bar across the room.He looked like his conversation was boring him to death, and he was aching to be by my side again.

Just as I was about to get myself another drink,a loud trumpet from the door pulled our attention. A herald dressed in deep purple walked deeper into the room and began in a loud authoritative voice.

“Attention everyone,make way for our pack leaders,His Majesty Alpha Ares and Her Majesty Luna Noelle.”

    *Dominic's POV* I don't remember when the habit grew in me,but whenever I felt uneasy,my hands subconsciously went on my neck and readjusted my tie a little loose. Selene had disappeared a while ago and was yet to come. There was a dance performance going on at the moment,and even with that as distraction.I couldn't concentrate. “You are yet to begin construction of the new hotel.”a business partner said,bringing me back in the moment. “Sadly.”I began clearing my throat. “But the materials have arrived already.I intend to start soon.”I replied,only now remembering that I still had a hotel to build. Selene was the type of person to make you forget all your responsibilities. “If I didn't know you for your work ethics, I would say you were lagging behind.” “It's not the case, comrade,I've just been busy.” The man chuckled mirthlessly. “Of course. You've been very busy with the lady in black.” Lady in Black,Serpent of Seduction,Queen of the Night,everyone had a nickname

The radio host looked at me,confused. “Excuse Me?” “When you were listing my credentials,you said previously,as though for some reason I had lost my status.” “Oh,”he chuckled,bringing his mouth closer to the microphone. “You see with all the mafia allegations flying around,it would be safe to say that you are known for…”he paused a while,desperately searching for a safe word in his head. “Crime?”I asked. “Is that the word that you're stuck on?” His face reddened. “Well,you are such a prestigious guest.I didn't want to offend you.” “The only offensive thing here is that you implied that I had lost my charm because of a few speculations. These things shouldn't be treated as plagues,if anything,it adds to my allure.I will g

Athena glanced my way with a concealed look of mirth in her eyes. “Why am I not surprised?Yolanda states digging her fork in her cinnamon roll. “That interview just further proves my point,she is a menace.” My mother took a deep breath and kissed her necklace of the moon goddess,praying reverently to it to calm herself. She exhales loudly and adjusts her grey hair to its normal state. “Sometimes,”she began, running her eyes around the table. “I forget I'm from a royal family,how did we come to this level of low? So low that a mere actress like Selene has the audacity to insult us on a public platform.” “Let's ban her…”Yolanda said immediately, “Cut off her life force from it's root.Never let her set foot in this territor

    *Dominic's POV* I had a big statue of a Swan in my home office.I had gotten it from the auction and since it was the most expensive item there,I was sure Selene would love it.The only problem was,she wasn't picking up my call. I dialled her number again and pressed the phone to my ear.I got her answering machine again–she wasn't available. I cracked my knuckles,my frustration was slowly becoming unbearable–I needed to talk to her. Caleb came into the room with his briefcase dangling by his side.She glanced at the Swan statue momentarily before mentally dismissing it. “What are you doing here?”I asked him. He headed to the drawers and began to search through it. “I think I forgot some files here.”He wears his glasses and begins scanning each folder closely. “I have a meeting in an hour,I can't go without it.” I shrug and return my attention to my own troubles. “What are you doing here?”He asked this time. “Didn't you say you will begin work today?” “I rescheduled.”I replied

She pushed open a blue door and inside revealed a small room with two wooden chairs,a big office desk that threatened to suck all the space out of the room and an old fan struggling to produce little breeze.The place didn't look expensive,but it was presentable.

Elais met me at the door. “Took you long enough.” “I had meetings” I explained,walking past him,I glanced at the tied up journalists in the living room and turned back to Elais,concerned. “Why are they tied up?”I gave them a second glance. “And blind folded too?” Elais's puzzled gaze went from me to the men and he came to me with a hushed whisper. “I thought it was an interrogation.” “It is,”I say,removing my jacket and my gloves. “That doesn't mean they can't be comfortable.Before this whole unpleasant ordeal,these journalists were my good friends,I intend to treat them as guests.They arent the enemies here” I sent a signal to the guards watching them to release them and they did as told. The journalists scurried and squinted until their eyes were used to the bright light.The first one to notice me gasped and his friends turned my way,also receiving my presence with

    *Dominic's POV* Well,Selene was apparently very preoccupied today.It had been hours since I tracked her location and found her. She was at a small Italian restaurant withthe friend She had left the brothel with. I don't know why she would ever go to a brothel in the first place but I gave her the benefit of the doubt and decided to approach her when she was alone. Little did I know that Selene planned to never be parted from this friend again.The hooker-like person Selene had taken as companion over me was a petite red headed woman,with boot heels tall enough to make her the same height as Selene and a hideous looking orange jacket. I didn't know her but I already despised her–or maybe the correct word was envy? Whoever she was,she seemed to had Selene's full attention and that looked so nice. Watching Selene with this ill dressed woman made me realize I had barely touched the iceberg of who Selene really was. For the longest time I thought she was just a charmer who picked m

    *Selene's POV* “Dominic,”I called with a hint of Seduction to my voice. “Have you been following me?” “No..”Dominic managed to say as he coughed out a mixture of spit and blood. “Oh.”I sighed,laying a hand over my chest.“You scared me.” “Why would I be following you?”he asked,touching his face to check for bruises. I smiled in satisfaction,I didn't expect him to actually admit it. in fact,I'm glad he didn't…it meant a prolonged game.I loved prolonged games. Although I wished they had beaten him a bit more,that would have been nice to watch. I bent over and stuck my red nail under his chin,guiding his face to mine. “You poor thing.”I said sweetly. “My security thought you were a stalker,for a moment there I thought you wanted to rob me. I owe you an apology,they can be a bit brutal.” “No worries..”he sniffed,rubbing blood from his nose. “No,no.it's actually very worrisome, what if they get this violent with all my friends.Even if it was a fan,it's still a horrible way

I reluctantly took a seat despite really not wanting to,I was hoping not to spend too much time here,I was hoping not to get so comfortable. “I don't think he's a customer,”I draw out the chair. “I know nothing about him. In fact, I was hoping you knew something about him.” “How should I know?” I handed her the note Selene gave me and watched her face,hoping for a reaction…there wasn't much. She recognised the handwriting, but there was nothing more to it than that. “That's his address.”I said, trying to jug her memory somehow. “I think Selene slipped it into my coat whe

    *Selene’s POV*“You are never going to pull that stunt with me, are we clear?” Dominic’s voice sliced through the quiet of the room like a whip, sharp and unforgiving.I remained silent, staring blankly at my reflection in the mirror as Greta calmly combed my hair back, her touch careful, avoiding even the slightest tension in the strands.“Answer me!” Dominic’s voice erupted again behind me, his frustration rippling through the air like a storm about to break. Greta flinched this time, her hand faltering.I dragged my eyes from my reflection to him—lazy, uninterested, detached. “You’re being too loud,” I said quietly, taking a slow sip of my ginger tea as if his anger didn’t reach me.“Greta,” Dominic snapped, his tone softer but still commanding. “Leave us. We need to talk privately.”The comb dropped to the table with a soft clatter, and Greta quickly walked away, making sure not to meet my eyes as she left the room.“You should really get your face treated,” I said, my voice dripp

    *Ares’ POV*It was all like a dream-no,nightmare was the word best suited for what I felt.The question hit me like a punch in the gut,and the fans weren't helping either.The sound of the crowd was a distant roar, swelling around me like the crash of waves, but all I could see was her—Selene. She stood stiffly in front of Dominic, her eyes wide and unblinking. The fans were chanting, “Say yes!” louder and louder with each passing second, a suffocating rhythm pressing in on me. I clenched my fists, my body tense as I watched Dominic smile before her, his face smeared with a mixture of fake sincerity and desperation.Something was wrong. Her body language, the way her fingers twitched, the slight tremor in her hand—she was hesitating. She didn’t want this. I knew her well enough to read that. I could practically taste the panic in the air, though her face was trying to stay neutral. The fans, the cameras, all of it was just noise. Selene was my focus, and I wasn’t going to loose her,not

    *Selene's POV*Where am I?Something internal voilently forced me awake, everything was blurry, like a painting smudged with greys and whites. A faint, sterile smell lingered in the air—disinfectant and bleach, sharp enough to wrinkle my nose. My throat was dry, my lips cracked, and a faint buzzing filled my ears. Slowly, the haze began to lift, and reality hit me with the weight of a boulder.The hunger strike. Dominic.I shifted slightly, feeling the stiff fabric of the hospital sheets brush against my skin. Every muscle in my body ached, the fatigue of starvation pulling me down like chains. I had taken this too far,it was foolish.Had I trusted someone enough to bring me food,It would all have been a farse but not even Greta was an ally,and actually starving myself was the only chance I had. I tried to breathe evenly, keeping my movements subtle. My eyes flicked toward the door—two of Dominic’s men were stationed there. Their dark suits a jarring contrast against the pale walls of

    *Dominic's POV*“What did he mean by that?” I asked myself, watching the footage for what felt like the hundredth time. My eyes remained glued to the screen as I replayed the moment yet again. Ares’ finger brushed against Selene’s skin, and she didn’t flinch. No, she leaned into it — just slightly, but enough for someone like me, someone who knew her, to see that she wanted to be there. It was a small gesture, but it screamed betrayal. Not of me, but of everything she had fought for. Or perhaps it was all a lie. Maybe she hadn’t really been fighting at all.With me, she refused to eat. She used to give me the silent treatment, and now she was on a full hunger strike. I knew what I was doing was kidnapping — technically. But the lines were always blurred when it came to Selene and me. She wasn’t exactly here against her will, but she wasn’t free either.I couldn’t stomach the idea of her leaving. She had forgiven Ares for his betrayal because she loved him, but I was sure I could get m

    Ares's POV*Three whole days. Selene had been completely off the radar for three whole days—no contact, no call, no public appearances. Every passing hour gnawed at my patience, the anxiety tightening in my chest like a vice.I sprang from the chair the moment Cassie entered the room. Her presence here was a reminder of where I was—this brothel, a place I shouldn’t have been, but desperation was a powerful motivator."Alpha Ares," she greeted, bowing respectfully."No need for that," I muttered, waving my hand dismissively. The last thing I needed was formalities when my mind was already spiraling.Cassie closed the door behind her, her sharp eyes lingering on me with what could only be described as judgment. Her silence dragged on for a moment before she broke it."I'm assuming you aren't here for a prostitute?" she asked, her tone dry but layered with subtle sarcasm.I frowned, confusion creasing my brow, until the realization dawned—of course, she would think that. It wasn’t often

I stared long and hard before I gathered the courage to walk to her. Besides,if she didn't want to meet me,she would have told the guards to let me in, right? The sound of my shoes hitting the grass sent her eyes spinning my way. They paused at my face and did a full scan of my body,her gaze got disgusted and she quickly looked away,facing her computer with an unbothered air. “Hello Mother.”I said respectfully,as though I was addressing an authority figure and not my caretaker,I might have been adopted but my feelings for her went way beyond papers,Im not sure–no I am sure–she didn't share the same sentiment but it never hurt to try.“The fact that you are calling me

    *Selene’s POV*“Cassie?” My voice cracked as I gripped the steering wheel, swerving around another tight curve. Horns blared, angry drivers flashing their headlights at me, but I couldn’t care less. If they were being hunted by a psychotic freak, traffic laws would mean nothing to them either. My knuckles turned white as I weaved through cars, my mind racing faster than my heart.I didn’t look at my phone, too focused on getting away, but my voice grew sharper as I called again, a tremor sneaking in. “Cassie!” I tried not to let my rising fear unsettle me lest I crash my car.A groggy voice finally crackled through the speaker. “Selene?” Cassie’s voice was hoarse, still thick with sleep. “Is everything—”“Will there be room for me at Red Velvet tonight?”“Huh?” A long yawn followed. “Tonight? You mean now?”“Yes, yes, tonight,” I said, urgency seeping into my tone.There was a brief silence on the other end of the line, the weight of my request sinking in. The last time I was this fra

The air between us was thick with tension, and I could feel the heat of embarrassment rising to my cheeks. Elias was the last person I wanted to appear vulnerable in front of.“Eh,” he gave me a small, sympathetic smile. “I’ve done worse, trust me.”I didn’t fully believe him, but I appreciated the effort. At least he was trying to make me feel better, which was more than I could do for myself.“Just stay in here for a bit,” he added, glancing down the hall. “So people don’t get suspicious.”“Yeah,” I sighed, resigned. My arms unfolded, my body suddenly feeling heavy. I needed some time alone to think anyway. When the door clicked shut behind him, the silence returned with a vengeance, amplifying the chaotic mess inside my head.I tried to replay what had just happened,
