As Selina's true identity was revealed, the guests were shocked, then had a moment of realization. It suddenly made sense why Thomas and William were content to be her backups. No wonder Daniel had invited her to the opening dance, allowing her to steal the spotlight. Those who had mocked her earlie
Thinking about everything that had transpired that evening, David felt a headache coming on. 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
As Selina drifted in and out of consciousness, she vaguely saw David swimming towards her. His handsome face was filled with anger, his lips pressed tightly together, and his sharp jawline tensed, inspiring fear in those who saw him. In her memory, he had never been gentle with her, let alone shown
David's condition had improved enough for him to leave the ICU and transfer to a regular hospital room.Selina had already completed her discharge paperwork, but instead of leaving the hospital, she stayed in the suite adjoining David's room to take care of him.When David woke up, Selina was gently
If it wasn't David, who else would go to such lengths?But Selina wasn't someone who made unreasonable demands - Joseph believed she must have her reasons for saying this."Did you notice something?" Joseph couldn't help asking.To his surprise, Selina shook her head."If I said it was just my intui
When Selina came out of the ICU, Joseph was already waiting by the door.Only after confirming she was fine did Joseph finally relax, though he didn't approve of her rushing to see David right after waking up."You're pregnant now - even if you don't consider yourself, think about the baby at least.
The medical team assigned to care for Selina all had unprecedented relief on their faces - even the youngest was grinning with wrinkles like autumn roses blooming despite the frost."Don't worry, Miss Miller, your baby is perfectly fine," the lead specialist said excitedly.Their relief wasn't for a
Joseph's fingers trembled uncontrollably as he tried several times before finally managing to answer the call."Joseph, my sister's awake!" Olivia's voice came through, tinged with apologetic caution. "I'm sorry - I was too hasty earlier and wrongly blamed Fiona!"Joseph's hand silently tightened ar
Then she would choose between her sister and nephew.Joseph's men found her with ten minutes left in her timeframe.Along with her despair, Fiona felt a sense of relief at finally being free of the burden.Things that weren't meant to be hers couldn't be taken by force.Just like Joseph - they were
Joseph's men successfully found Fiona and Alana at a hotel near the airport.When she saw Joseph's men, Fiona's expression showed no surprise - if anything, she seemed slightly relieved.Joseph and Ryan quickly arrived after receiving the news.Fiona admitted to taking Selina's medicine, though she
Ryan promised her, but he wasn't very confident about recovering the medicine.After hanging up, Olivia immediately called Joseph.Joseph was still groggy from sleep when he answered, and it took him a moment to process Olivia's barrage of words."You're saying the medicine for Selina was stolen?" J
