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

Daniel didn't object.With the current turbulent situation at Lumina, having Selina lay low in Auroville for a while might be for the best.Being action-oriented, Nicole immediately arranged Selina's flight to Auroville for the next day and contacted Thomas.She repeatedly instructed him to take goo
At the mention of children, Selina lay awake all night.It had been a long time since she'd thought about that poor baby - the one that was forcibly aborted, the child she never got to be a mother to.If Nestor knew they once had a child together, one lost because of Amanda, would he feel the same g
Thinking of their impending separation, Nestor couldn't resist anymore and slowly lowered his head toward her.A large shadow fell over her, drawing closer and closer.Selina grew increasingly nervous. Her mind told her to move away, but her body seemed half-paralyzed, unable to move.Only her chest
Sarah waited for a long time at the airport exit.It had been nearly an hour since the flight from Lumina landed, but there was still no sign of Selina.Hoping to surprise her, Sarah hadn't contacted Selina beforehand.She pulled out her phone and quickly dialed Selina's number."Sorry, the number y
Due to the lighting, Selina couldn't make out who was standing opposite Maya.After Maya's outburst, the other person said something inaudible, but it clearly agitated Maya further. She gripped the ornate second-floor railing, leaning her body forward.As she leaned down, people in the dance floor b
The bar's music was deafening.But in Selina's ears, David's words kept echoing.Each word hit her heart like a drumbeat."I have money," Selina said, looking into David's dark eyes with a slight tremor in her voice.But David replied: "What's yours is yours. And what's mine is yours too!"Selina bl
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
