"I don't care - I'm going!" Selina insisted. She had always been well-behaved and reasonable with family, but never this stubborn before.Thomas sighed softly: "I'll figure something out as soon as possible."Selina waited another afternoon, but there was still no word from Thomas.When she called S

Selina didn't deny it, nodding instead. "Yes, we have feelings for each other."She had finally admitted her feelings for Nestor. Whether it sparked from their initial connection or grew from his devotion to her, she couldn't say. Despite her lingering doubts about their relationship, she wanted to
After receiving Thomas's call, he had finally found the opportunity to berate Thomas for being "utterly foolish." While Bruce's arrangement for Selina's blind date with Bruno had been discreet, it wasn't completely secret. Nicole and Daniel's decision to have Selina return home clearly showed they d
Selina walked downstairs sheepishly. Thomas was still waiting and rushed to her immediately, grabbing her arm and looking her over anxiously.Only after confirming she was unharmed did Thomas finally relax. He hurried her into the car, and once settled, urgently asked, "I heard Grandfather arranged
Once Thomas was gone, Selina seemed to lose all her strength, her legs wobbling as if they might give out.Sarah noticed her condition and supported her with her shoulder, practically dragging her inside.The living room had been restored to how it looked when Rachel was alive.Sarah helped Selina t
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
