Not old ones, but new injuries.Despite nearly a month in the hospital, his facial wounds hadn't fully healed."Am I ugly now?" Without turning, David sensed Selina's gaze and asked softly.His tone carried equal parts nervousness, worry, and cautious uncertainty.Selina's heart softened, and she qu
David never did warn Selina after all.Daniel and Nicole dropping her off at Auroville right now - they clearly didn't want her involved in the mess upstairs.Belvedere Heights was only about an hour's drive from Skyview Estates Unit 1.David owned a villa here too, and his car smoothly pulled into
Something wild inside him roared for more, desperate to take everything.But just then, his sharp instincts detected someone watching them.An oppressive gaze bore into them from nearby.Sharp and dangerous, like the edge of a blade.David's heart jolted. Almost instinctively, he shielded Selina wit
Thomas's suspicions were quickly confirmed."Thomas, what are you doing?" A sharp feminine voice called out, seeming to freeze Thomas in his tracks.He instinctively pulled back his fist and turned around.There was Ashley, still in her business suit and heels, rushing over.She was slightly sweaty
Even when she'd wanted him to stop interfering with Selina's love life, she'd discussed it privately with him at night.Thomas rarely saw Ashley this serious.She was practically ordering him to apologize to David.Thomas remembered what he'd witnessed earlier and sneered: "He doesn't deserve it."I
Selina knew Thomas opposed her relationship with David out of fear she'd get hurt again.Understanding his good intentions made it impossible for her to resent his interference or ignore his opposition.Just like how their parents strongly opposed Joseph and Fiona's relationship - while she hadn't o
He'd discussed with Ashley about having Selina work at Silverline Industries.Keeping busy would leave less time for romance.Of course, he'd also arranged extra work for Horizon Global to keep David too busy to pursue Selina."I'm going shopping with Sarah," Selina said, wiping her mouth."Where? I
Thomas wanted Selina back at Silverline Industries partly to keep her busy and away from David.But his investment firm was also facing some issues.More specifically, competitors were deliberately targeting him.Their tactics were underhanded, often causing damage without any real gain.Thomas woul
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
David paused upon hearing this report, his anxiety somewhat relieved."You're saying the people who took my wife work for the same woman who tried to take me before?"After receiving confirmation, David took a deep breath and called Nelson without hesitation.If he remembered correctly, that woman h
When did David meet a woman like her? She had no idea!Selina carefully observed the woman before her.She was strikingly beautiful, with refined features and flawless skin. Her elegant figure was perfectly proportioned in a way that would turn any man's head.Even more remarkable was her natural au
