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
With Selina missing, Nestor was frantic over there.But when Sarah had been taken before, no one had known, let alone worried about her.Regardless of Nestor's true identity, even if he was Vincent's old friend David.Just for how Nestor had saved Sarah back then, Vincent couldn't let anything happe
The man speaking was tall but unnaturally thin. His face was so gaunt that his cheeks were sunken in, looking like skin stretched tightly over bone. His eye sockets were deeply hollowed, appearing like dark cavities from a distance—an unsettling sight.Selina, bound tightly to the chair, leaned back
The woman had clearly had plastic surgery, and with her elaborate makeup, she looked exceptionally alluring. Yet traces of her former innocent appearance were still visible in her features."Amanda?" Selina practically spat the name, filled with hatred.Amanda's gaze held equal contempt for Selina.
Seeing Selina's apparent wavering, Evan's eyes lit up, forgetting about Amanda. "Contact your grandfather. Have him come see you.""And get your five brothers to cooperate with our operation," he added.After all this, his true targets were still her grandfather and brothers.Selina studied him expr
They passed through the cramped room and winding corridors to what appeared to be a laboratory. In the corner of the ceiling was a ventilation fan. Nestor removed it and some ceiling panels, revealing a narrow passage."Bear with it," he said reluctantly but firmly.Selina shook her head. "I can han

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
