He had always assumed Selina would eventually regret leaving him and come back, but now she had other men in her life and had reunited with her family. So much had happened without his knowledge. Had she hid
Selina stumbled into the elevator, a wave of dizziness washing over her. Her body felt hot and tingly all over. She leaned weakly against the wall, mentally kicking herself for being such a lightweight - half a cocktail and she was already a mess.Beads of sweat formed on her skin, making her fitted
The first light of dawn filtered through the curtains into the ship's cabin.Selina opened her eyes to find herself lying on a soft, large bed in an unfamiliar room. Her heart skipped a beat as she realized this wasn't where she'd gone to rest. "That cocktail was spiked!" Selina sat up abruptly, on
Amanda straightened up, hiding her hands behind her back and forcing a smile. "The door was open, so I just came in."David glanced at the door, his lips tightening, but said nothing.While his back was turned, Amanda quickly stuffed something into her purse, then walked over to the coffee table. "I
Selina rushed back to her room, heading straight for the bathroom to scrub herself clean. While she could wash away the physical traces, the shame in her heart remained. They were divorced - what right did he have to do this to her? Even if she had initiated it in a moment of weakness, David was sob
The sea breeze was gentle, but David's harsh words cut through the air. Selina seemed not to hear, her expression unchanged as she told Thomas she was tired and wanted to rest. Thomas immediately put his arm around her and led her back to her room.Watching them leave without a backward glance, Davi
Selina slept in the bed she once shared with David and had a very long dream.In the dream, she explained to David at the beginning that she hadn't drugged him, and this time, he believed her. Though their marriage was forced by Rachel, while David wasn't particularly warm, he gave her the respect s

Selina walked downstairs sheepishly. Thomas was still waiting and rushed to her immediately, grabbing her arm and looking her over anxiously.Only after confirming she was unharmed did Thomas finally relax. He hurried her into the car, and once settled, urgently asked, "I heard Grandfather arranged
After receiving Thomas's call, he had finally found the opportunity to berate Thomas for being "utterly foolish." While Bruce's arrangement for Selina's blind date with Bruno had been discreet, it wasn't completely secret. Nicole and Daniel's decision to have Selina return home clearly showed they d
Selina didn't deny it, nodding instead. "Yes, we have feelings for each other."She had finally admitted her feelings for Nestor. Whether it sparked from their initial connection or grew from his devotion to her, she couldn't say. Despite her lingering doubts about their relationship, she wanted to
