He spoke lightly, but Selina had seen the injuries on his face and knew that what he had been through was definitely more dangerous than he let on.Yet, Selina found herself captivated by his words.She couldn't even tell if Nestor was saying these things for Rachel to hear, or deliberately for her.
Nestor's words stirred up a mix of emotions in Selina. She felt a lump in her throat and her eyes grew slightly moist.Her love for David had made her reluctant to cause him any trouble. No matter how unreasonable Jennifer had been, Selina had always endured it without ever complaining to him.Inst
If this were the old David, he wouldn't have even been able to imagine wanting something without trying every means to get it, instead willingly giving up and silently protecting from afar."Our engagement," Nestor said, looking at Selina's calm and serene expression, "if you really hate it, we can
If this had happened before, Nestor would have simply turned his back on Thomas, not bothering to deal with him at all.So what if he was Selina's brother?What right did Thomas have to meddle in his affairs with Selina?But now, his relationship with Selina was so fragile that a single word from Th
The forces trying to save David and those wanting him dead were almost evenly matched.Just as both sides were at a stalemate, the Taylors' people appeared and rescued David from the struggle.But during the fight, David suffered fatal injuries.Thomas's people found out that shortly after the Taylo
Selina left early in the morning and finally reached Miller Bay by evening.Hearing she was coming back, the village chief and some familiar villagers welcomed her at the village entrance.The cars drove into the village, stopping in the open space in front of the village chief's house.Selina's fam
It wasn't that she was stingy or unwilling to help the villagers.When her foster father had tried to marry her off to an older widower from the next village, she had attempted to run away, only to be caught and brought back by the villagers.It was impossible not to feel some resentment.But she al
A narrow, open-air barbecue joint with greasy, glaring tables and chairs filled the air with the smell of cumin mixed with alcohol, and the rough cursing and lip-smacking sounds of the diners nearby. Nestor, dressed in a white shirt and black pants, sat across from her, his golden mask reflecting t
Startled by the unexpected silhouette in the darkness, Selina jumped, instinctively curling into a ball."It's me!" David quickly said, realizing he had scared her.Hearing his familiar voice, Selina finally let out her held breath.The next second, she pushed away David's hand as he reached out to
As for David, Selina was so angry she refused to even mention him."How did things go with William and Grandfather?" Selina asked Thomas in a low voice, noticing Daniel and Nicole seemed relaxed.Thomas, wanting to make amends, told her everything.Bruno had taken in Dominic's remaining men and disc
Selina didn't give Bruno any chance.After hanging up on Bruno, she called Olivia directly to tell her they'd be taking the earliest flight back home.Before Olivia could even understand what was happening, she found herself on the flight home with Selina.Even after they landed and got into Ashley'
Pretending he had never escaped.Thomas's smooth handling of the Meracia situation was also thanks to the information David provided."Why did you keep this from me?" Selina's fingertips felt ice cold, struck by an inexplicable feeling of betrayal.She alone had been kept in the dark, worrying about
After tossing and turning, Selina couldn't fall back asleep. After calculating the time difference, she decided to call Thomas.Thomas had just finished dealing with William's matter when he saw Selina's call. Checking the time in Japan, his expression changed slightly as he quickly answered."Selin
Worried he wouldn't believe her, she added, "You can verify right now who really controls S Tech Group."Bruno hesitated before hanging up to verify Selina's claims.He had originally planned to stay by Selina's side as David, hoping she would gradually fall for him.He believed that with enough tim
He was much more cautious now, choosing his words carefully.Selina took a deep breath, her bottom lip turning white from biting it, and finally steeled herself."Didn't you say before that you'd fed David to the fish?" she said through gritted teeth. "Now you're trying to use him to threaten me? Do
The implication was clear - if they protected Selina well, he'd overlook their failure with Bruno. If not, their punishment would be even worse.The guards quickly agreed.Watching Joseph stride away urgently, Selina had no choice but to return to the hotel under the guards' watchful eyes.She paced
Seeing Selina on the verge of losing control, Joseph quickly grabbed her arm. "Selina, stay calm. Now that we have him, unless he wants to die..."Before he could finish, Bruno suddenly broke free from his captors and made a dash for the balcony.No one expected Bruno to make such a desperate move,
