Selena shut herself in the bathroom. She was in the shower, squatting while soaking her body. Her tears continued to fall. The culprit was obviously Damian. She would never have cried this much if it wasn't for Damian. The pressure she was under, the stress and the depression made her mentally break down even more.
Coming out of the bathroom, Selena just lay on her bed. She thought about what she would normally be doing at this hour. She longed for her freedom, even though she knew she was busy at this time of day and occasionally joked with her friends at work.Damian himself left right after that. There was business to be done. And it seemed like his spirit returned after he did it with Selena until he was completely satisfied. Without thinking about Selena's condition.***Axel looked at the sky while contemplating everything he had done. Remembering the fact that Selena was now with Damian made him almost crazy. He remembered what Damian did to Selena last ti"No, he's not approachable. He is really selective about the people around him. Including women. He did have many women before, but he doesn't dare to touch other women casually." The woman spoke while looking at Damian from afar, sipping her drink slowly. She looked closely at Damian's figure who was engrossed in conversation. "Looks like he's still grieving too. Ah, losing just one is painful. He lost six at once. It must have been so hard for him that he didn't come to any events for the past two weeks. He turned out to be a sweet guy." "Sweet? Oh, I admit he's handsome and rich. It's just six women?! You've got to be kidding me. Soon, I'm sure soon he'll be like before too. He'll have many women by his side," replied the other. The three women looked at Damian again. As Damian seemed to be leaving the quiet party. And the three did not try too hard to approach him again. "Mr. Sagaras seems to have a unique personality. Maybe there's something behind thos
Selena ate quite heartily, though looking alert and wary. She was quite scared and nervous when she saw that Damian's plate was almost empty. She watched for a long time how Damian finished his food, and Selena looked down while continuing to be busy with her food. Selena glanced at Damian who put down his cutlery and was silent. She continued eating hesitantly. Damian didn't tell her whether she should stop when he was done or not. So, she just continued eating awkwardly. Meanwhile, Luca who was sitting in front of Damian was watching Damian and Selena. "What's my schedule today?" Damian glanced at Luca while buttoning his shirt sleeves. "You have to check on the branch company, because there seems to be some problems. Then lunch with a client at a restaurant and in the afternoon, it's your workout schedule. I can get rid of the exercise schedule-""No need. My body is starting to ache from not exercising lately." Selena listened to their conversation while
Selena stared at Damian for a few moments. Watching him smoke and then approaching hesitantly. She knew this was bound to happen. Which she did obediently and sat on Damian's lap. Damian's legs were open at the moment so Selena sat on one of his legs. "Do you smoke?" asked Damian, looking at Selena who didn't protest about her cigarette. Selena nodded her head slowly. "I used to smoke if I felt stressed." Damian raised his eyebrows, he was surprised for a moment but didn't show his expression. He had no idea that Selena used to smoke. And what he didn't know was that Selena stopped smoking when Axel came along. Axel had forbidden her to smoke back then. "Show me!" Damian seemed to doubt Selena's answer and gave her his cigarette. Selena stared at it for a moment and then was about to take it with her fingers, but Damian immediately pushed it away. He wanted the cigarette to stay in his hand. And Selena brought her lips to Damian's hand that was holding the c
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 t
Damian 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
Axel quickly arrived at the hospital, where Selena was being treated. He ran from the parking lot, looking around for the ER. His feet stepped quickly, he didn't know where the ER was at that moment. However, as soon as he got close to the ER, he directly bumped into Hendry and Derek. Slightly surprised to see the two, Axel stopped walking and let out his slightly breathless breath. Hendry and Derek, who seemed to be chatting at the time, looked a little surprised. Axel glanced at the little girl who came with the two as well. When Hendry and Derek were about to pass Axel unceremoniously, Axel ventured to greet the two and maybe ask directly about Selena. He was confused as to why they were already this close, as they should have a bad relationship if Selena's father knew what Selena had gone through with Damian. "Where's Selena?" Axel looked at the two middle-aged men with steady breathing.Both of them turned their heads towards Axel. The little girl Derek was l
"I didn't want to burden you like this but my son was right. If anything happens to Selena, then it will definitely be your responsibility." Hendry looked at Derek seriously Derek sighed heavily. Even if the one who hurt his daughter was his own wife, he did have to take responsibility for what his wife did. Not just because he was a husband, but because he was also a father. He was Selena's biological father. "After all, she's my daughter." Hendry looked at him a little pityingly. Because, what Hendry thought before was that Derek would try to eliminate Selena as well for the sake of his good name in the eyes of his own family, in the eyes of his children as well. However, seeing Derek who seemed devastated made Hendry realize that Derek was trying to protect Selena too. "I don't know how my wife found out about Selena. All I wanted was for her not to know anything about her and for Selena to live freely. Unfortunately, she found out too soon." Derek looked
"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
