A stench of rancid food mixed with fermenting manure assaulted her nostrils.Selina opened her eyes to find her hands tied behind her back with coarse rope. She was lying in the corner of a small pigpen.A fat sow and five piglets were grunting nearby, eating leftover food.Pig droppings were everyw
"Where'd she go?""Quick, she's escaped!"Suddenly, a sharp yell came from behind the house.Hurried footsteps sounded from inside.Panicked, Selina looked around frantically before hiding behind a haystack near the vegetable patch.The footsteps moved from the back to the front door.The iron gate
The dilapidated pigpen reeked of nauseating odors.David, in his custom-tailored silver-gray suit exuding an air of nobility, looked completely out of place in this environment.His dark eyes anxiously scanned Selina. Seeing her teary-eyed, he carefully lifted her as if holding the world's most prec
David remained calm. "They really would kill you."He had truly come alone. Kidnappers were often desperate criminals.He'd once witnessed a friend being brutally killed by kidnappers. How could he risk Selina's life now?Selina, looking at David's calm demeanor, suddenly recalled Sarah mentioning h

David pinned her legs, grabbing both her hands above her head. He started rocking slowly.The wooden bed creaked rhythmically.Selina finally understood, her face burning red. She bit her lip hard, refusing to make a sound.Her reaction reminded David of their early days together.Even when she'd dr

"What kind of fun is there in the mountains at night?""City folks are weird. Who knows?""This woman really has a lover on the side? And her husband doesn't mind? Is he even a man?"The villagers muttered among themselves, no longer suspecting an escape attempt."Enough," the chief waved his hand.
Just thinking about what Selina might have endured made David want to strangle Maya.But he didn't want to frighten Selina.She'd already been traumatized when he was drugged by Maya and almost forced himself on her - it had taken her so long to recover.How could he bear to make her fear him by tak
David's face darkened like storm clouds, and he let out a scornful laugh: "You kidnapped my wife just to get me here, didn't you?""Your wife?" Maya's voice suddenly rose, filled with disbelief, but she quickly composed herself, looking at David with an odd expression."You think I'm still obsessed
Nelson and David waited anxiously at the entrance until the butler hurried over.He glanced at Nelson, his gaze lingering for a moment, before turning to David: "Mr. Wilson, my lady requests your presence inside!"David furrowed his brow and turned to Nelson in confusion, only to see that Nelson's f
David paused upon hearing this report, his anxiety somewhat relieved."You're saying the people who took my wife work for the same woman who tried to take me before?"After receiving confirmation, David took a deep breath and called Nelson without hesitation.If he remembered correctly, that woman h
When did David meet a woman like her? She had no idea!Selina carefully observed the woman before her.She was strikingly beautiful, with refined features and flawless skin. Her elegant figure was perfectly proportioned in a way that would turn any man's head.Even more remarkable was her natural au
Even his initial relationship with Fiona had revolved around money. Yet now, he didn't seem to mind!"There are plenty of rich people, but she chose my money – which means she chose me," Joseph proudly declared. "Besides, I'm capable of making money. If she likes my money, I'll gladly give it to her
Seeing Selina's composed expression, David finally felt the weight lift from his shoulders.He wanted to destroy Bruno, but had worried about Selina's reaction and potential anger. Now, confirming that Selina truly didn't care about Bruno anymore, David felt much more at ease. It was like finally be
"William, you're not a kid anymore," Selina couldn't help reminding him before leaving. "Trying to get a girl's attention by picking on her doesn't work anymore."Hearing Selina's words, William's beautiful eyes trembled slightly. He wanted to argue but seemed to realize something and pressed his li
David kept Selina pinned down, showing her pleasures she never knew existed.Though he restrained himself given her condition, Selina was still exhausted and fell into a deep sleep.She had no memory of returning to the hotel, showering, or changing clothes.Having finally found release after such l
