Selina turned, looking up at David.The firelight outlined his sharp features, making his dark eyes unusually bright.He stared at her intently. Selina saw her small reflection in his eyes, as if she might be swallowed by darkness at any moment."Yes, I'm scared," Selina admitted honestly.Their tim
"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.
After a long silence, Selina slowly looked up, her clear eyes showing a touch of coldness. "How exactly does Mr. Wilson want to settle this debt?" she asked calmly.She'd forgotten how good David was at weighing pros and cons.Maybe he'd planned to demand payment from the moment he got the call to r
"The upstairs guest room - you haven't forgotten where it is, have you? There are clothes in the closet," David said tiredly. "Take a shower and go home in the morning."Selina did feel uncomfortable and knew she'd scare people looking like this. She thanked him and headed upstairs without arguing.
Maybe it was the fever, but David's face had a slight flush, softening his sharp features. He looked less like a distant, cold deity and more human.Selina unconsciously reached to feel his forehead, her fingers landing on the furrow between his brows.Whether it was her touch that soothed him or no
Selina laughed coldly. "Without Rachel's name on it, that register means nothing to me. Mrs. Jennifer, not everyone is as desperate as you to cling to the Wilson name."Jennifer's face twitched. "Weren't you the one cozying up to the old lady just to get on that register? Now you're acting all high
When David woke up, his mind was clearer than it had been in ages. Since the divorce, he hadn't slept this soundly.The stomach pain that had been tormenting him was gone, replaced by a gentle warmth. He vaguely remembered someone feeding him and giving him medicine while he was out of it.The movem
David ladled out the soup and ate slowly, feeling warmth spread from his stomach throughout his body.So Selina hadn't abandoned him after all.But...Looking around the empty villa, David's briefly warmed heart grew cold again, matching the house.When Selina was here, he'd never found the house em
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
