"Ah, shit..." Axel was panting, having to walk with his condition and being dragged roughly by Damian's men.
Jovan and two women approached Axel, they confirmed his condition. Selena looked at Axel with worry too about his bullet wound. Jovan hisses, it looks like Axel is still lucky to have survived and be alive. And for the rest, what made him survive was the girl who was now still with Damian, who was helpless in her place."We've got the goods." One of the women got up and took off the duffel bag she was using, put it down and looked like she was about to take the item."Give me the girl when we give you the chip!" said Jovan as he gave Damian a serious look."I'll have to check the authenticity first and get it working," Damian replied.Damian glanced at Selena who looked more presentable and beautiful after being better dressed. Even so, the melancholy on her face couldn't be covered by any make-up.Axel lay on the floor, looked at Selena and thenSelena looked at Rose who was shot in front of her. Rose had been kind to her. There was a sense of regret for being unkind to her just because she felt inferior and unworthy of all that attention. Axel raised his head when he heard the gunshot. He really didn't expect what Jovan had done. And he also wanted to make sure that Selena was with them right now. "Selena, come on!" The two women at his side immediately pulled Selena away from there. Damian's men quickly aimed their weapons as well, they immediately took up positions to protect Damian, as Damian could not move at all seeing the six women shot in front of him. He didn't know the condition of the six, whether they were dead or could still be saved. But at that time, no one checked on their condition because of the emergency. The man carrying Axel quickened his pace towards their helicopter. Where it turned out that they were making an exchange on top of a building. And Damian's subordinates quickly moved
Axel looked at Selena with a desperate look again. After what he had done, what he had fought for all this time, ended tragically where there had to be many people who died and also Selena's rescue efforts did not go well. Selena looked back at Axel, she could see that there was nothing Axel could do in that condition. There was nothing he could do to save her who was caught again by Damian. Damian who was now pointing a gun at her head. There was a lot of anger visible in Damian's eyes. In his eyes right now, the deaths of those closest to him made him feel tremendous pain. An anger so great that he could not control himself. He looked at the figure of Selena who just sat there unmoving. "Bring her back in!" said Damian coldly, there was a lot of sadness in his tone. His subordinates around him immediately grabbed Selena's upper arms, dragged her to her feet and forcibly made her walk away from there. While Damian stared at the helicopter vengefully, but did not
The next day, Selena was taken to the mansion where the funeral was to take place. Selena was escorted by two men at the time. She wasn't sure this time why Damian was still keeping her, which she later realized wouldn't be good for her. Selena saw Damian, dressed all in black, about to enter another car as she was also about to enter the car that would take her to the mansion. "H-hey!" Selena didn't know what to think at that moment as she called out to Damian and was about to walk towards him, but the two people at her side immediately prevented her from doing so. Damian stopped, he didn't enter his car and looked at Selena. His gaze looked different from before. Her eyes looked tired, though there was no sign of swelling after crying. He also looked paler than usual at that moment. As soon as Damian paused and looked at her, giving a sign that he would listen to what Selena had to say, Selena gulped stiffly. She was also actually afraid to say anything at a ti
Selena stared at Damian in disbelief at what she was hearing. She wouldn't be alive if she tried to get out even once. "I want you to take their place in my life. And that's a task for life. I won't let you off the hook easily, Selena." Damian looked at her seriously. And Selena looked down. She thought of Axel who she certainly didn't know how he was doing. And most likely, Axel was also still being treated at this time. His condition was very bad at that time and it might take time for him to recover as well. "If that's what you want," Selena murmured softly, she wanted to make up for it, she wanted to make up for the guilt in her heart, she also wanted to be free from the nightmare of thinking that she was the cause of the death of six-seven people at once. "Good, that's what I want to hear from you. You will devote your entire life to me. As a slave and forever will be." Damian continued to try to corner her. "That's the most redeeming thing you can do." Selena was silent for
"Master was very sad about their deaths. Master would go through two packs of cigarettes per day. Doctor Dony is quite worried about his condition." "No one thought it would really happen. Master has also reduced his food portions. It looks like he's still very sad." "Of course, it wasn't just one person who died, but six at once. And someone spread a rumor among the servants that Lady Sarah was pregnant at the time." Selena, who was about to return to her room after being summoned by Damian to his study room, overheard the conversation. Accompanied by Luca who had to escort her to her room. Luca himself didn't seem to hear the conversation as he was focused on the tab in his hand. "Selena seems to be an outlet for Mr. Damian." "She caused all this. Her arrival was disastrous enough." Selena halted her steps, which made Luca walk ahead on his own. And once Luca realized Selena wasn't by his side, Luca looked back. Selena glanced at the door that led now
Damian was in a room where he was smoking for the umpteenth time accompanied by a few bottles of wine. He looked like he had lost his way, still the same as when the funeral had just taken place. His eyes stared blankly into the silent room, it was just him. It was the same with Selena, who was directly required to feel the same loneliness. Selena just sat reading a book in her room. She tried to enjoy this atmosphere, even though it still felt uncomfortable. She had never had the opportunity to be this relaxed before being with Damian. So, she tried to enjoy her time. Someone opened the window that was dedicated to delivering her food, and Selena looked up at him from her seat. The food was placed on the table and the person quickly left. This time, the food was simpler and without dessert. "Thank you," Selena said as she got up and approached her dinner. Selena then sat down to eat her food. She ate quietly as usual. *** The next day, the food that ca
His drunken conversation with Luca last night was still ringing in Damian's head as he woke up. Damian sat up and stretched his body for a moment. And he sighed to face another hard day. He ignored them when they were around and started missing them once they were gone. It was a law of nature. And he ignored them because of Selena at the end of their lives. Now, only Selena was left. Shouldn't he make the most of it? That morning, Damian had breakfast alone. He sat down as the maids paced back and forth preparing the food. He was about to touch the cutlery on the side of the plate, but suddenly remembered Selena's back and waist that were right in front of him when he did it in the office, on the table. "Fuck. Call Selena over here!" he said, sounding annoyed. He hadn't done that in a while. Which made him need Selena to get over himself on the weekends. He touched his food while waiting for Selena's presence. The maid soon took a step towards Selena's room.
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
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
