His instincts proved right.The Dominics weren't giving up."I think Dominic's people probably want Dad's blood for research."After all, the drug Joe used was developed by Ryan before everything went wrong.The people who tried to steal the drug that night were Dominic's men.When they discovered t
Sensing Selina's thoughts, Daniel's smile turned somewhat bitter."Selina, Mom and I will never force you into a political marriage."As the Robinsons' daughter, Selina had hardly enjoyed any privileges of her position, so how could they demand she shoulder such responsibilities?They hadn't protect
Nestor couldn't remember when he'd first noticed this habit.It seemed he'd known it for a long time without realizing.Selina opened the container to find food from her favorite soup place in Auroville.Sweet, tender, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious.Selina turned to look at Nestor as he drove, no
When Selina and Nestor arrived at the police station, Joseph had already been released. After spending two days and nights in custody, Joseph's once-pristine clothes were wrinkled, and stubble had sprouted on his chin.When Joseph saw Nestor with Selina, his brow furrowed slightly, but he kept quiet
His words carried a hint of self-mockery - unclear if he was warning Selina or talking about himself.By then, Nestor had gotten in the driver's seat. Seeing Selina in the passenger seat and Joseph in back, he allowed himself a slight smile."Nestor, I owe you one for this," Joseph said, lifting his
Nestor rushed to the airport with Selina and Joseph. The scene that greeted them in the secluded corner of the parking lot was chilling - the air thick with the metallic scent of blood.Over a dozen security guards in tactical black gear lay motionless on the ground. Each was wounded in different pl
While Dominic had been spotted in various countries, Evan's last known location was, surprisingly, Auroville.Selina immediately connected Evan's presence to the foreign capital Noah and Liam mentioned. If she remembered correctly, foreign interference had also been behind the Adams incident. Things
As evening fell, Nicole finally returned home.Selina went to the main house and told Nicole everything about how Joseph had left, carrying his belongings behind her back.Nicole was furious, her eyes blazing with anger.After all the trouble Selina and Nestor went through to help him, he ran off fo
Once again, Selina was left dizzy from David's intense, dominating kiss.By the time they left, Nicole's luxury car was long gone.Selina pressed her slightly swollen lips together, glaring at David in annoyance.Because of her pregnancy, David had been restraining himself from their usual marital i
But even if she knew, surely she wouldn't be angry enough about that to ban him from their bedroom?"I'm sorry, honey!" Daniel had to humble himself and apologize. "I shouldn't have gone behind your back to pick up Dad. Please don't be angry."Nicole rolled her eyes: "You still don't know what you d
Maya's butler and servants delivered the gifts, giving Nicole and Selina no chance to refuse before quickly departing as swiftly as they had arrived.Under Nicole's curious questioning, Selina finally had to come clean. She explained everything about how she came to call Maya her sister-in-law.Nico
The beads didn't look particularly special, but after several failed attempts to refuse, Selina finally accepted them.Nelson, who had been pacing in the castle courtyard, saw David emerge holding Selina's hand with a wooden box in his other hand. His handsome brows furrowed.Maya had let them go wi
Maya smirked at Selina's protective stance over her husband.Sure, David was good-looking with a great physique, but he was taken - definitely not her type."I'm not interested in your man," Maya said, giving David a dismissive look. "A married man going to bars alone to pick up women? How shameless
"Honey, I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me!""What happened to your clothes and hair?" David asked after checking her over for injuries."Oh, I was sunbathing and reading in the back garden, and I accidentally fell asleep!" Selina admitted, lowering her head shyly.David finally relaxed comp
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
