Damian looked at Selena who was lying curled up to the right. She seemed to have fallen asleep after cleaning herself. And Damian pulled the blanket to cover her body, while sitting on her side, looking at Selena's bare shoulders which were quite beautiful from behind.
The back of his hand slowly removed the few strands of hair that fell on her face and tucked them behind her ears with his fingers slowly.Once morning came, Selena opened her eyes and the first sight she saw upon waking was Damian's naked body. He seemed to have just taken a shower and was looking at something on his phone. Selena's face turned red and she closed her eyes again as she moved her body to face the other way. She had just woken up and her heart was already stirring on its own."You're awake?" Damian turned to Selena when he saw her move as he put down his phone and faced Selena."Yes," Selena replied as she reopened her eyes, but kept her back to Damian."How long are you going tDamian didn't answer Luca's question. He was also thinking about what he had really done to Selena. Maybe that was what he wanted, to hold her captive, to take away her freedom and make her his. While Damian was preoccupied with his work, Selena looked at her legs, which were covered in bruises. And the burn on her knee she was paying close attention to at that moment. "It hurts..." she muttered under her breath, touching her shoulder which was aching and sore. She looked at the mirror again, gazing at the reflection of herself in a rather gruesome state. The bandages she had put on her temples, her bruised cheekbones and the corners of her lips dotted with dried blood. Even when the blood was still wet, it felt agonizing when she needed water. "Hmfph!" Selena covered her mouth, as she felt something rise from her stomach. Selena was pensive for a moment, after which her eyes widened due to the nauseous feeling she was experiencing. She tried to remember the
Selena fell to the floor. Her head hit the floor quite hard and the thin skin of her temple was bleeding after being hit by the fist of one of the maids. The maid seemed to be panting while staring at Selena. In her fist, there was a ring that caused Selena's temple to hurt after she hit her. The fallen girl whimpered softly while holding her head. She then sat up slowly, her head feeling dizzy at the moment. As she sat and endured the pain, the other maids approached simultaneously. At that moment, they kicked and stomped Selena at the same time. They didn't seem to think about the consequences of their actions. However, it looked like that day they would be safe for a while, until Selena's injuries improved. Because on that day, there was news that Damian would not be home for a few days on business. He was going abroad to do international relations. Selena sat in her room looking at her swollen face in the mirror. She stared at the medicine box the butler had
Selena abandoned her intention to head to the medical unit and helped the other maids to serve snacks in the living room. Where there seemed to be some people Selena didn't recognize there. After that, she also prepared the dining room as lunchtime approached, the guests would have lunch there. Once the guests were seated at the dining table for lunch, Selena was there to serve as well. Several times Selena made eye contact with Damian and the two acted like they didn't know each other. It was really just the alienated slave and his master. "You should get married soon. At what age do you want to give birth to a successor?" An old man chuckled softly while looking at Damian. "You don't have to worry about me. Just worry about your life partner," Damian replied. And the man laughed crisply, as if taking Damian's words as a joke. He was Mr. Hendry, Damian's father. At which point, Hendry looked at the woman he had brought along to introduce to Damian. An elegant, p
"You hurt another servant. Three people, don't you think?" "That's not true!" denied Selena, she looked at Damian seriously. "And then? What about the truth?" Damian looked at Selena, managing to bait her into explaining everything without the need to ask directly as if he was worried about her or knew that all the reports he had received were wrong. "They started first," Selena replied, starting to explain what happened that day. Damian looked at her body. He knew very well that Selena was the victim. It could be seen from the bruises that were all over her body. Which in addition to the purple or green, or bluish bruises, some of the red spots she left a few days ago were still there. And she still remembered where she had left them. "The point is, they baited me first. Made me feel like I had to defend myself. I don't know what they told you. But, I just put up a word fight. I didn't do anything, I didn't act other than my li
A pair of fragile hands clung to the edge of the tub, but her hands slipped several times before she got a grip. Her hand movements were unsteady due to the excessive shaking. Which is what happened to Selena, when Damian was trying to catch his peak. Selena leaned into Damian's body, the remnants of the release making her limp. Damian noticed that and watched Selena who seemed to have no energy. Dan let her rest for a moment before leading her out of the bathroom. Both came out of the bathroom in their bathrobes. Damian rubbed his hair with another towel and approached his closet, grabbing some hair oil which he then applied to his hair. It seemed to be what made his hair thick, shiny black. Selena watched Damian, he was silent in the walk in closet.For a moment, she thought of Axel. After all, she couldn't forget Axel that quickly even though it seemed that sometimes she was no longer thinking about him. Because ever since they broke up, Selena kept herself so
Perhaps the only one who was kind and friendly to her in the mansion at that time was only one. The gardener who was cheerful and seemed to live a carefree life. She seemed to serve Damian sincerely, living simply in a small cottage built on the estate. "What's your name?" asked Selena as she ate the boiled sweet potato with gusto, it was really sweet. "I'm Xena," she replied, smiling sweetly at Selena. "Xena? We have almost the same name. Selena, Xena!" Selena looked cheerful as she met someone who was able to put anyone in a good mood. "Oh, right. I just realized that." Xena laughed. The two chatted while separating the garbage pleasantly. Until Xena noticed that Selena's face was covered in sweat even though what she was doing was not strenuous. And she wasn't outside the mansion either, she was still inside. "Are you okay?" Xena watched her with concern. "I'm fine," Selena replied. "You look exhausted, you better get some rest," she said w
"Keep tracking Axel's base! This time I won't make any peace at all." Damian looked at his men who now seemed to be gathered in a meeting room. "Yes!" They answered in unison in the affirmative. Damian held his forehead. Just a moment ago he was too fragile to think about something like this. He was getting better, but his heart still couldn't accept that what had happened a few days ago was starting to sink into his mind. Luca got a call, which made Damian glance at Luca as the man picked up his ringing cell phone. "What's wrong? You know I'm-""It's an emergency. Can you come back to the mansion with Master immediately? It's a real emergency and I think Master should know this."Luca was silent for a moment. He didn't know what made this sound like such an emergency and the tone of his colleague at the mansion also made him uneasy. "What is it? Can you tell me clearly now? We're in a meeting right now. And I'm sure Master won't be coming home for n
"Calm down! What's wrong with you today? You just had a great time with Selena last night. And as soon as you found out she was pregnant, you acted like that to her?" "So? You expect me to get all teary-eyed and hug her, then tell her it's the right time because my father is urging me to get married and have kids? And she got pregnant at the right time, is that what you're saying?" Damian looked at Luca with an annoyed expression. Luca sighed. He was also annoyed at Damian for speaking to Grace in such a high tone. While he himself knew that just a few moments ago, Damian had been in a bad mood due to being pressured by shareholders for his business. Lately, Damian has been rather unfocused in running his business because he has been using the available resources inefficiently to find Axel's whereabouts and intend to retaliate. The shareholders are of course furious with Damian's arbitrary actions. Conflicts between managing directors and shareholders are prone t
"You should have cornered him even worse. You've been kinder than usual lately. What's wrong with you? Damian, are you believing the facts about-" "You're talking informally." Damian cut Luca off, making Luca immediately close his mouth and bite his upper and lower lips at once. "You never protest when Selena does it. I mean, you. Selena doesn't even call you master or anything," Luca retorted in a lower voice. Damian was silent. He hadn't even realized that. And in fact, come to think of it, he was the one who asked Selena to only call him by his name. Especially when they were in bed and he knew that Selena was about to reach her peak. She liked it when Selena called his name when she was at her peak. "Yeah, I guess you can do that, if only between us," Damian replied later. "But, why do you seem so emotional about Harvest? Didn't you say at the time that we should at least maintain a relationship with her?" "He did something i
Damian sat on a chair in the front yard of Harvest's mansion. He then looked at Harvest who was now still lying on the floor. His men immediately approached and helped him get up. Harvest then stabilized his condition first while looking at Damian with a confused look and fear in his eyes. "You said you didn't find Axel's base because you managed to drop the helicopter at low altitude. That's not what Selena told me," Damian said. Harvest wrinkled his forehead. He then widened his eyes, because it seemed like Selena was telling Damian everything. Although he didn't know the extent of what Selena knew and he understood about how it all happened. "You're very disappointing." Damian looked at Harvest with a cynical and annoyed look. "Is that it? You betrayed me because of that girl?" Harvest looked a little shaken. "Me? Betrayed you? Didn't you do it first? About Selena... I'm not doing this because of Selena, but because you betrayed me in the first place." Da
"Take Selena to her room!" Damian left the room while talking to his men in front of his room and he then walked out of the room. Luca was even surprised by Damian's change in demeanor. In attitude, Damian was completely unpredictable and incomprehensible. His feelings seemed to be always changing, which was what Selena felt during her time with him. Everything that happened depended on his mood and the person he was dealing with. Luca followed Damian quickly. When Selena was escorted to her room by the person Damian had just ordered. Selena stared at Damian's back as he walked in the opposite direction. She was confused by Damian's actions just now. Meanwhile, Damian and Luca headed to Harvest's place. Luca kept busy with his tab and contacted several people at once. He was busy while Damian by his side just sat back and stared out the window. "I got her medical records. As Selena said, there were some fresh wounds, which got her transferred earlier. Those are i
"Is she in a relationship with Harvest?" Damian glances at Luca, as if asking because Luca seems to know more about his people than Damian himself. "She's pretty private, so it's not really clear what she's thinking," Luca replied. "I'll just go there for now," Damian said as he got up from his seat. Damian seemed to be curious about what one of his subordinates was doing at Harvest's place. Even though Harvest wasn't an opponent, everyone knew how bad their relationship had gotten since Damian lost his chip, because he trusted Harvest back then. "H-hey, are you going to that guy's place?" asked Selena as she looked at Damian, her voice sounding hesitant to ask such a question. "None of your business," Damian replied as he was about to walk out of the room. "Don't trust him too much!" said Selena a little louder to be heard. Even Luca immediately stopped his steps as well and looked at Selena. Selena shouldn't know anything about Harvest, but it se
