Selene Wright witnessed the suicide of her parents and the decline of her family. She was ridiculed and tortured, with no chance of surviving, when Lyon Armstrong, the ruler of the Armstrong family, saved her. Lyon brought her home and demanded that she get married to him in exchange for her parents' vengeance.
View MoreIn the late evening, everyone in Armstrong's courtyard could hear a loud slash of flogging.
Lyon Armstrong screamed, "Bullshit!" as the whip swung once again on the servant's back.
Because of what had happened, he was unable to contain his rage. Selene will be kidnapped by his opponent if he is late.
Then, at the earlier memory of the incident, Lyon clenched his fist.
(FLASHBACK- Afternoon prior to the incident where Selene was nearly kidnapped by his opponent)
"Ma'am Selene, please eat your dinner. Master Lyon ordered you to serve on time." one servant said as she laid the food tray on the table inside the room.
Selene signed while clutching the servant's hand. "Can you help me get out?" she begged, her eyes welling up, "Promise I'll be back before Lyon comes back."
The servant's expression broke into panic, and she hastily removed her hand. The servant's face panicked, and she quickly removed her hand. "Master Lyon has told you that you may not leave the house, ma'am Selene,"
"I know, but he'll never know... promise, I'll be back before Lyon gets home," Selene argued.
She tried to dismiss the servant's sympathy for her, saying, "Madam... I-I enjoy my work and life, so please don't ask me to help you."
"I just wanted to see my parents," Selene explained, noting that she hadn't been out since her marriage to Lyon Armstrong.
"I'm sorry, ma'am, but I can't help you..." the servant quickly responded before walking out of the room.
"Then don't bother me! No one may enter my room until I say so!" Selene stated sternly.
"Certainly, madam," the servant responds politely before closing the door.
Selene tightened her grip, smirking. "Lyon won't be mad if he doesn't know I left."
Selene carried out her plan after changing into new clothes. Despite her concerns, she exited the room, unconcerned about what would happen next.
Selene made sure that no one could see her, and it worked because she entered the open area without being noticed.
Perhaps the maid is so relaxed that I won't even consider leaving without their permission. With a smile on her face, Selene opens the gate.
But that smile quickly faded... Black cars approached in less than a minute, and as soon as they stopped, the passengers—all of whom were dressed in black coats—sprinted along the road.
"Shit," she thought to herself as she watched the car approach.
-----------
"Master, it's been a week since you've left, so I'm sure the lady is looking forward to seeing you."
Lyon Armstrong stares out the car window, emotionless.
He doubts that ...
Because his relationship with Selene is not like that of other couples who have fallen in love and married.
Lyon is certain that even if they don't see each other for a year, Selene will never miss him.
Without speaking, the driver/bodyguard observed Lyon's expression and kept his eyes on the road.
When they arrived in the village where the mansion was located, the driver/bodyguard turned pale when he saw what was going on in front of the gate.
"Master, vehicles are approaching our port!"
Lyon was already aware of this, and the figure of a woman who just came out from the gate could not escape his attention.
"Selene!" he yelled.
Lyon Armstrong never lost his temper, but he was furious this time.
----
Selene quaked in fear as she asked the anonymous man attempting to grab her, "Who are you? What do you want from me?"
"Go get her!" one of the men orders.
Selene came to a halt when the two men grabbed her arm and dragged her inside the car.
Selene cried out, "No! Please! Let me go!" as tears ran down her face.
No idea what was going on or who these people were. Selene attempted to resist, but she was met with a hard slap on both cheeks that nearly put her to sleep.
"You're too loud!" retorted the man, raising his fist once more to punch Selene in the stomach.
Selene closed her eyes and waited for the violence, but it never came.
"You have no right to touch my wife!"
Selene didn't even need to open her eyes to figure out who was speaking in the stern voice.
"How dare you disobey me..." A strong, lean arm wrapped around her body with this remark. The hands that had been restraining Selene were violently removed.
Selene, on the other hand, was unsure whether she would be happier or more terrified because the person who saved her was even more terrifying and ruthless.
Selene smiles and says, "Lyon... You're back."
His icy stare was enough to make Selene gulp one after the other.
"Looks like you're not happy to see me... Is it because you bypass me?" Lyon asks coldly.
"I wanted to visit— "
Lyon grabbed Selene and dragged her into the yard, stopping her explanation.
Leaving, the group of people continued the fight.
---------
"Wait! Let me explain ... I'm not running away; I just want to visit my parents ..." Selene explained nervously.
Lyon, on the other hand, is too enraged to pay attention to her. When he got to his room, he immediately threw Selene on the bed.
"What I hate the most is not following my orders! I'll make sure you will never disobey me again!" Lyon declared without warning, torn Selene's dress.
Selene's eyes widened as she covered her nakedness. Lyon's rage gives her a creep because it is so strong.
Selene took a step back, pleading, "Lyon, please," as she watched Lyon remove his clothing, her entire body trembling.
Selene tries to get out of bed, but Lyon is quick to pin his naked body to her, forcing Selene to stay under him.
"You are mine!" Lyon exclaimed, violently claiming Selene's lips as his hand stroked the sensitive part of her body.
Selene's efforts are useless because Lyon is bigger and stronger. "I hate you, Lyon Armstrong! Stop please!" exclaims Selene. She can taste the blood in her mouth because Lyon bit it a few times.
"You are free to despise me, but you can only do one thing: obey me," Lyon says before placing his hand on Selene's breast.
Selene didn't know what to do; the sensation caused by Lyon's tongue was new to her. But Selene would rather die than let Lyon see that she is affected by his caresses.
"Remember, you are now my wife! So you can't escape me... No one can escape Lyon Armstrong!"
"Ah!!! Damn you! You're killing me!" Selene exclaims in shock as she feels pain in her heart. Lyon's full potential is within her. Because it was her first time, she almost passed out from the pain.
On the other hand, Lyon froze on Selene's top. He had no idea it would be her first time. But he also couldn't stop in the middle, "I-I'll try to be gentle ..." he whispered before moving again. Lyon's movement was more careful this time, but it wasn't enough to relieve Selene's pain.
"I will never love you! Lyon Armstrong!" Selene exclaimed in tears.
(END OF FLASHBACK)
----------
Lyon signed and then threw the whip away.
Selene is now in the room with Gemma, who is administering fever medication. Selene had been claiming her carelessly when she passed out and became sick.
"Lyon, my baby boy." a voice woke up Lyon who was fast asleep. He slowly opened his eyes. He immediately woke up to see his father and mother smiling at him."Dad..Mom," he says."Son, I'm so proud of you." his father said. "I didn't expect you to be this brave to defend me and your Mom. But this is all I can tell you, that in the midst of all our sins, you did the right thing to come and talk to him." he continued.Oscar stroked Lyon's hair. “I know you will be a great and good father to your son. Always shared the things that I always tell you. In the midst of a chaotic world, always choose to be a good person." he smiled.Lyon's tears fell. "Dad, the lives of Selene and my son are in danger. W-What should I do?" he asked his father.His mother was smiling looking at him. “Lyon, all this is just a challenge. God just waited for you to come to him, and you didn’t fail him. Everything is fine, son.” she responds.Lyon was about to speak when he suddenly woke up. He seems to have under
"Poor Lyon. When life is getting better and favored by them, then this happens." Lucas said.Reign looked at him sadly. "Out of everything the two of them have been through, this is the worst, Lucas. Thinking about the poor child in Selene's womb, it makes me depressed." she answered crying.Lucas wiped his eyes out crying "I don't know what pain Lyon is feeling right now, my brother doesn't deserve it, especially Selene, they are good people." he says."Let's just pray that everything will be fine and that both Selene and the child will be saved. God's mercy is great.”....Lyon stood up, he looked around and he didn't realize that he had arrived in front of the church inside the hospital. He hesitates to go inside because first of all, since his parents died, he has forgotten that there is a God.He swallowed, he knew that it wouldn't help him either because he believed in God then but the course of his life didn't change.Closing his eyes, he continued to walk but something seem
“Selene…Selene!” Lyon shouted as he followed Selene with the doctors running her inside the hospital.He held her hands, while Selene looked at Lyon with weak and pleading eyes."L-Lyon..." Selene said slowly, she could barely speak.There was a lot of blood that spread on her and in her current situation it seems that there is a possibility that the life of the baby in her belly is in danger."My love, you will be better." Lyon said and then kissed Selene on the forehead. Selene was quickly admitted to the emergency room.Lyon was punching the wall, he wanted to scream in anger. He felt that he had failed in protecting his wife and their son.Lucas ran to his brother.“Brother!” He immediately hugged him. Lyon looked down and cried on Lucas's shoulder.While Reign and Susan were crying on the other side. Continue to pray for the safety of Selene and the baby.Kevin and Ava are also walking towards them. When Kevin saw Lyon crying, he approached him and hugged him."Lyon." he just sa
A masculine man pulled Lyon closer to Arnold. They did not stop him from beating him, punching him in the face and all over his body. His whole body was full of wounds that seemed to be tortured well. Lyon has almost no strength to fight, he only has one eye to see.His body was almost red from the blood flowing from his wounds. Arnold was happy as he watched him like that."Hmm, you remind me of your father, Lyon." he said happily.The man made Lyon kneel and pulled him by the hair so he could look up at Arnold. He barely had the strength to fight back or even speak.But he still looked bravely at Arnold."Y-You weak fucking shit." Lyon said weakly to him.Arnold was annoyed so he ordered to punch Lyon in the mouth again. "Your mouth is too foul, young Armstrong." he says.Lyon's head is bowed, no strength.Arnold walked around in Lyon’s place. He sighed, “Hmm, I miss this place. Wherein was the end of my mortal enemy, Oscar Bridgetons.” he says.Lyon could do nothing but listen to w
"What's going on upstairs?" Reign asked restlessly. She walked back and forth while Baby Reid was carried by Susan.For the time being they sit on one side and pray that everything will be alright."Oscar, Irene.. guide your son, Lyon as well as his brother Lucas. Selene who is innocent and carries the poor baby in her womb. Don't let history repeat itself with your son, he needs the guidance of both of you." Susan begged in tears as she looked up.Everyone looked at her, maybe she was talking to Lyon's late parents.Reign sat closer and hugged the old woman....When Kevin arrived at the old mansion, he immediately got out of the car. He also took up a sharp weapon and slung it around his waist. He walked slowly into the mansion, passing many dead people on the floor. He recognized them as not being Lyon's men.He encountered an enemy outside and immediately shot him.That caught the attention of Lyon and Arnold. At that time Lyon's men started to fight with Orvin. Lyon wasted no t
"Why haven't they come back yet?" Reign asked nervously as she carried the sleeping Baby Reid.Killain was uncomfortable as well, so he decided to follow them upstairs."Killain, what are you doing?" Rudy asked immediately."Dad, I'll just look for them." Kian immediately ran out of the underground. He dashed up the stairs to find Selene and Lucas, who hadn't returned in almost half an hour.But he immediately stopped walking when he noticed the unknown people around. They were wearing long black suits and seemed to be carrying weapons. He looked at the top of the room and there he saw Lucas's naked body that was unconscious and with both hands hanging, with the two men watching over him.He became nervous and quickly returned to the underground, locking the door behind him.He was terrified and almost couldn't breathe because of what he saw. Reign became tense as she hugged Baby Reid. Kian's face was trembling with fear."Where are Lucas and Selene?" she trembledly asked Killain."I-
Ava can't stop crying knowing that her father is dead. She never talked to him and told him how much she loved him. This time, she knows he did the right thing, even if it meant risking his life. The important thing is that he did it for her safety and also for her beloved Kevin.Crying filled the cage where they were both locked, it was painful for Kevin to see Ava crying especially and he couldn't do anything, nor could he help Ellias in the fight.It seems like sad music that he hears, until finally he proves that a father's love is different.Until Orvin appeared to them, he shot the man guarding the two of them and quickly opened their railing.The slow motion action was tinged with grief as Kevin ran to hug Ava.Orvin supports the two as they walk. He also gave them a gun for their protection.At this time, their opponents are few. The Armstrong had a great match between the Petersons. Until everything becomes clear. Filled with silence."My Dad, where is my Dad?" Ava continued
Ellias put more pressure on burying the knife he was holding in Harold's stomach. Harold's big eyes are slowly squinting because of his laughing expression."Hahahaha." Harold laughed loudly while Ellias was surprised because there was no blood coming out of Harold's body or even weakness, he didn't feel it either.Until Harold grabbed the knife and showed to Ellias that the one he had given him was a fake.Ellias' eyes widened in shock; he hadn't expected it."You think I'll just trust you like that, Ellias?" Harold asked, laughing.When Lyon heard that, he came to a halt and looked for a hiding spot."Ellias, what's going on?" Lyon asked from the ear pad. Ellias did not respond, instead staring at Harold while holding the fake knife."I know you're planning something bad for me," Harold continued, pulling out the real knife, which was the blade's core.Ellias swallowed, wondering how he would make the way to fight Harold. He didn't even have a gun because he had surrendered to the m
"What's going on?" asked Lyon, because for some time there was silence in the way they used to communicate with each other.Orvin immediately repaired the laptop from which the recording was made. "Someone isn't connected," Orvin explained."It's probably Kevin," Lyon said, rolling his eyes."Lyon, we need to go inside; there's a signal from one of my people; they've changed their clothes," Daniel said on the other end of the line."Wait for my order, Daniel; Kevin hasn't responded yet." Lyon replied seriously, worried because he hadn't heard from Kevin.Until the signal returned to Kevin's station gradually."L-Lyon," Kevin stammered."What's going on, Kalen?" Lyon wondered aloud, a little concerned.“I had a hard time taking out my ear pad. I have seen the ones you can pass through. Many men are inside surrounding Harold Peterson, I am here now inside the rails, it is very difficult for me to move because anytime they can catch me." Kevin said in a hurry, almost whispering so he wou
