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 had caused the death of her child, and now she owed him a life. After this, they would be even, owing each other nothing!Seeing Selina's pale face, Nicole hugged her comfortingly, "Selina, he'll be alright."Selina pressed her lips together without speaking, filled with guilt. She had lost he
"Is that how you treat the person who saved your life?" David surveyed Selina on the hospital bed. Though slightly pale, she seemed to be in decent spirits. He gave a small frown.Selina bit her lip. "Who asked you to save me?"How could this cold-blooded man, who had callously disposed of his own f
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
The authorities, already hostile toward the three families and intent on their elimination, would never allow the fallen Adams family to rise again.Moreover, if not for Dominic, Selina wouldn't have suffered so much. Nestor's display of capability before the authorities was merely to gain power to
When Selina was about to call Fernando in frustration at his silence, he finally replied: "Nestor said he'd survive no matter what, and absolutely wouldn't give me any chance with you."Even through the computer screen, Selina could sense Fernando's resentment."When did he contact you?" Selina aske
Once Thomas was gone, Selina seemed to lose all her strength, her legs wobbling as if they might give out.Sarah noticed her condition and supported her with her shoulder, practically dragging her inside.The living room had been restored to how it looked when Rachel was alive.Sarah helped Selina t
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
The police tape meant Nestor's fate lay in the investigation team's hands. Earlier, she'd noticed armed men in fatigues guarding her former escape route with unwavering determination."Did Nestor anger someone in power?" Thomas finally asked after a pause.Selina remained silent, remembering only Ne
Selina walked faster and faster, eventually breaking into a run toward the man. Thomas had no choice but to quicken his pace to keep up."Cousin, what are you doing here?" Selina asked breathlessly, staring intently at Adrian with obvious tension in her voice.Adrian smiled at her briefly, then glan
