"How was your day?"
"Yeah?" Selena looked at Damian in confusion at his question."You heard it clearly.""Ah, yes. My day was... a little bad, but no big deal," Selena replied simply.Damian looked at Selena who was sitting by the window staring out the window. The night breeze entered the room and blew Selena's hair. Selena enjoyed the night view. And Damian who was doing something on his laptop watched her out of the corner of his eye. His eyes shifted to the laptop subtly as Selena turned to him."How... about you?" Selena asked with some hesitation.Damian's demeanor was softer, even to the point of asking how she was doing. And for Selena, a kind human being always made her want to be kind to him as well. Selena even forgot the last time someone asked her how her day was.Despite Damian's attitude towards her, his actions, his cruelty."Yes, so did I. Shouldn't you be feeling happier today because Rose is showing you around? Or... you mi"How are you?" Damian opened Merry's room and found Merry undressing at that moment. Merry was a little surprised by Damian's arrival. However, her face lit up as soon as she saw Damian enter her room. She was certainly happy to see him now approaching. "Oh, hi... I'm fine. What brings you here?" Merry smiled widely. "Just wanted to see how you were doing. Aren't you exhausted? You've been coming home late lately too. Is your load for the birthday party too heavy?" Damian approached her. Damian stood right behind Merry. He put both hands on Merry's arms. Merry held her clothes, which were not fully open, from falling down. But she did not forbid Damian from touching her. She was even happy with how Damian approached and touched her. "No, I just want this year to be like the previous years, or even better. I don't want to mess up any part of it. You trust me completely, I won't let you down," Merry replied confidently.Damian smiled. "You've never let me
"Perhaps you should put Selena downstairs like the rest of your prisoners. I'd hate to see her in the same hallway and my room next to hers," Merry pleaded, her voice sounding less pushy and more pleading. "You and the others are jealous?" Damian was intrigued. "Who wouldn't be jealous when we see a loved one paying too much attention to someone else and not enough attention to ourselves?" Merry replied. "So, would you be jealous if I touched one of my concubines?" Damian raised his eyebrows, teasing her. "Of course I'd be jealous too. However, it's better than Selena. Selena is a stranger here. Different from the others. The others probably feel the same way I do." Damian was silent for a moment. He thought about Merry's words. It was true, everyone could misunderstand him. However, apart from the fact that he liked Selena as a toy, because it gave him a satisfaction he had never achieved before. He always denied that he had any special feelings for Selena.
Selena stared at her breakfast, this time she no longer had the appetite to eat the food. She left her plate full until the maid returned and stared at her still intact plate. The maid must have been confused, usually Selena would finish it without any leftovers, and even ask for extra for dessert. She remembered very well that Selena was very appreciative of food. "You haven't touched it at all today," she said. "I have no appetite. You can eat it, if you want. But, it's already cold. Actually, warm food that's already at room temperature isn't a problem. But if you're used to eating warm, you can leave it alone," Selena replied. "I've eaten, I've gotten good food too. If it's not eaten, it will be thrown away," replied the maid as she approached and took Selena's plate. Selena looked at the maid with some hesitation. There was a lot she wanted to ask, which she could have asked Rose. However, it seemed that Rose would not meet her without Damian's orders as wel
Selena was pinned by Damian to her bed, with only half of her body on the mattress. Her legs stood straight up, crushed by Damian's legs as well. Which made Selena widen her eyes in surprise at Damian's sudden actions. "Wh-what are you doing?!" screeched Selena as she tried to rebel from Damian. Damian held Selena's hands behind her back with one hand. His other hand held Selena's head still as well. He stared at Selena with a satisfied smile. For some reason he really liked prey that was brave but actually weak. He was satisfied to see her courage disappear. "I'll feed you." Damian picked up the plate that was still on the nightstand near the bed."I told you I have no appetite, I don't want to!" argued Selena. "Since the beginning, you've been very argumentative, haven't you? You like to fight and you're very rebellious. Is it because your life was so hard before? That you really know how to overwhelm your opponents." Damian chuckled and shook his head.
"Where is this..." Selena looked up at the ceiling of the room that felt very familiar to her. She stared for a long time and then gasped in shock as she realized it was her own room in a rental house. She glanced right and left, seating herself in a confused state. She sighed, for some reason her heart felt good. "What the hell is all this? Axel?" Selena frowned and glanced at the door. Selena hurriedly walked out of her tiny room. And looked at her house in a messy state. She remembered that this must have all happened because she had a fight with Axel earlier and it ended with Axel breaking up with her. Selena sighed."He really left. Is it with that girl?" she thought. Selena was about to walk out of her house to get some fresh air. She glanced at the clock and it showed morning, but it was unknown what time it happened. Selena approached her door and pulled the handle. Indistinctly, she went out somewhere else. Not the hallway where the door of her
That day, Selena kept lying on her bed. The waiter who delivered the food for her also realized that Selena was sick from how Selena slept and refused to eat. Because of Damian's treatment of her yesterday, Selena had no appetite at all. Selena moaned in her sleep. She kept falling asleep throughout the day. Which she deliberately rested herself so that the pain would not be felt. She slept quite soundly. "After spilling food all over the room last night, now she's sick. Ugh, I really didn't expect to have to serve someone who's actually the same as us." The maid brought a whole meal that Selena hadn't touched at all. And the maid by her side was also equally grunting. Their grumbling could be heard by Rose who was just about to come out of her room. She stared at the backs of the two maids. "Excuse me?" Rose called out to them directly. The two immediately turned around and approached Rose. She heard clearly that the person they were talking about was sick.
That morning, everyone at Damian's mansion was busy with their activities. Rechecks for the party were being done and Damian's ladies were busy getting dressed up. They were all preoccupied with the final preparations that they had been doing since several tens of hours. As for Selena, her condition was not improving. Damian also didn't get a report on Selena's health because he was so busy that he delayed reporting. Damian was also preparing himself to welcome guests that morning. "The guests who are reportedly going to stay overnight will arrive early. The long journey means they need a bedroom to prepare themselves and rest for a while. What about Selena? Shouldn't Selena be moved to the basement cell?" Luca stood behind Damian. Damian was facing the mirror and his clothes were being straightened by the person assigned to prepare him. Damian glanced at Luca from the mirror, and thought for a moment, then nodded his head. "Yes, move her now," Damian said as he
Damian and the women prepared to welcome the guests. And Damian discovered that Harvest had been there earlier. Harvest seemed to be enjoying the view of the beautifully decorated room, her back to Damian at the moment. "Oh, Damian!" Harvest turned around and raised his hand in greeting. "You're early," Damian said, sounding a little lazy but trying to keep his mood up until the party was over. Harvest smiled and approached. His eyes glanced at the women accompanying Damian one by one. He showed his admiration seeing them simultaneously wearing white clothes. "Wow, that's amazing. They look so beautiful behind you. It's really amazing!" said Harvest with a gesture that wanted to show he was familiar with Damian."Pay no attention to this lunatic," Damian whispered, leaning his head back. "Hey, what are you whispering to them?" Harvest showed an annoyed reaction there. "Nothing. The party starts in about an hour, there will be a lot of guests coming.
"Listen..." Selena tried to catch her breath, she endured the pain in her stomach as she stood up. "I haven't had anything to do with my own mother since I was little. I don't even know who my father is, even though I use his last name. I don't even know you at all. Can't it stay that way?" Selena looked at Alice. What Alice was doing right now, Selena could tell if Alice hated her as her husband's illegitimate child. That was all she could understand. "You won't. You'll wonder who your father is, what his family is like now and come to destroy your father's family. That's all that will happen in the future, and I'm trying to prevent that from happening. By what? By getting rid of you." Alice took a shaky breath, looking at Selena like someone facing her greatest fear. Alice approached and Selena flung herself to the floor, picking up the knife under her feet with her hands still tied behind her body. She wanted to keep the knife with her, nothing more. She had no int
Damian was breathing heavily. He ran a hand through his slightly messy hair, smoothing it out a bit, at least not blocking his view. And he looked at the butler who was now also catching his breath after being caught by his driver and bodyguard. Meanwhile, Luca was far behind due to his different physical abilities. Damian's driver and bodyguard certainly had more time to strengthen his physique. While he works more with his brain. Even so, his physique could not be underestimated. "You run like you know what will happen if you get caught. I wonder what Harvest promised you that you would betray me. You know, I wouldn't have a problem at all if you were just running away from your responsibilities. But what have you done? You made Selena not take her contraceptive pills, and you harmed her too." Damian took a breath before continuing. "Then you pushed her at the party. I don't understand what you really want." The woman kept her mouth shut. She seemed to have no
"Didn't I warn you not to play with my future daughter-in-law and grandchild? I don't understand why you're brave enough to take such a risk." Hendry took a drag on his cigarette while holding the cell phone to his ear. He was in the middle of contacting Derek when he heard that Selena had been kidnapped from his son. ["What do you mean, Mr. Sagaras? I've clearly agreed to your words, in exchange for her not using my family's name and you not dragging in my family who have nothing to do with your future daughter-in-law."]"But what I heard today from my son is different. Selena was kidnapped by your wife." Hendry sighed, he was also trying to remain relaxed in the face of this and believed that everything would work out fine if everything was done casually and carefully. ["Selena was kidnapped... by my wife?"]["Look, I don't understand what you mean. My wife knows absolutely nothing about Selena. And she should. I wanted my family not to hear anything ab
"What kind of atmosphere is this?" Damian got goosebumps after hearing what his father said. "Be direct and upfront. Do you know who's behind this? What you just said suggests that you really do know who's behind this."["Of course. Who else if not the Raguano family?"]"But how did they find out about Selena? I never even intentionally-"["I was the one who told Selena's father about Selena's whereabouts. Before coming to you, I naturally found out who the girl was. And it was quite surprising to find out that she was Derek's daughter. It's just that I was certainly confused about his unknown daughter. Finally, I and I talked for a while on the phone about Selena."] "How could you-"["Wait a minute. You should listen to me first. I warned Derek. I'm going to make Selena my daughter-in-law, I told him. So, he shouldn't try to bother Selena at all. I also promised to keep his family's good name as long as he keeps quiet. Most likely, Mrs. Raguano knew this too. T
["She was here earlier. She said she was going to look around the front near the main door. I meant it, she was with me earlier. I just left her for a while to do a transaction. It really doesn't make sense for her to run away."]Grace gripped her front hair in frustration at not finding Selena with her. She had no idea where Selena had gone. And all she could think about now was how she should deal with this situation. Meanwhile, Luca, who was being contacted by Grace now in a panic, rushed out of the store with Damian. Damian didn't look panicked, he just looked annoyed and angry at the moment. "You just ask the people at the boutique to check the CCTV and tell me which way Selena went," Luca said. "So she ran off after everything she told me? She played me? I won't let you get away, Selena." Damian clenched his fists at the sides of his shoulders. ["I've asked them to check the CCTV and they've given me permission. In a moment, they're checking it."]L
"Huh... always me." Grace sighed as she accompanied Selena to her room. "If you don't want to, that's fine. You just have to say it. I don't want to. That's it." Selena looked at Grace, she could understand that Grace might be sick of being with her all the time. "It's not like that. It's not that I don't want to." Grace was a little panicked that Selena thought so. "It's just... no. It's impossible to refuse his orders. But I'm happy to be able to take a walk with you even if I have to go to the hospital again later. Today, I'm allowed to take you out and drive." Grace looked excited today. Because she would be out with Selena all day. Selena was also surprised that Damian would let her go out for a walk just like that. It made her think about what Damian had said about who she would meet tonight and eat with. "He's going out to dinner with a girl. I think that's why he let me out. Probably so I wouldn't get upset or jealous. But does he really think about my fe
Selena whimpered softly as Damian bit her shoulder. Then, Damian's lips brushed her collarbone, until Damian's face was on Selena's nape at this moment. The man sniffed Selena's neck, and kissed her as if it was a sign of apology after biting her shoulder. "Sorry, next time I won't talk about Axel anymore." Selena understood what Damian wanted. Damian only cleared his throat in response. But for now he wouldn't just let Selena go. He bit lightly on the skin of Selena's neck, which made Selena have to squeal softly.After a few bites, Damian sucks on the skin of Selena's neck in several spots. Sucking long enough to leave red marks that wouldn't disappear overnight. His hands don't stay still, Damian's hands explore Selena's body. Damian's breathing was labored, his voice getting lower as well. While Selena squirmed under Damian's body. She didn't resist. Damian's touch was much more but than she remembered, she had no reason to resist. After all, Damian had also b
"You can cancel the reservation, why are you confused?" Luca asked. "I can't just cancel it. Even if I don't feel well, we'll still have dinner there. Did you forget that we have to go to Beijing tomorrow?" Damian looked at Luca. "Of course I remembered. I remember your schedule better than you do," Luca replies. "We're going to stay a few days in Beijing. And it feels like, if I just leave... Ugh, how to explain that?" Damian holds his forehead, one hand resting on his waist. Luca widened his eyes and chuckled softly. He understood why Damian insisted on coming to the restaurant. The guy was even willing to push himself like that for a girl. Normally, he wouldn't bother with something like this. While the two of them were still in Damian's workroom in the mansion, and Damian also had to check a few things because he had not been actively working all day. There were also some documents that he had to double-check. It made him have to be active at night.
Alice Raguano laughed at the words of the woman who insisted on seeing her with the lure of a big piece of information. She laughed with amusement at this. "Who else would use the name Raguano besides our family members?" she replied while laughing softly with amusement, although there was a momentary anxiety in her heart.Meanwhile, the butler took something out of his bag and handed her a photo. An old photo of Selena taken when Damian was stalking her before kidnapping her. A photo that was enough to illustrate the answer to Alice's question just now. Alice was still smiling before taking a good look at the photo. She accepted it casually and looked at the photo. Her face had not changed at all as she stared at the photo. "Oh my, what is this?" Alice stared at the photo for a long time, her forehead furrowed as she felt familiar with the photo. Then, Alice stared at the butler for a while with a changed look on her face. She then stared at the photo and gr
