Selina didn't find out that David had returned Alexa to Lumina until three days later.During those three days, she had been completely swamped managing the project withdrawal at her company. She was so busy that she barely touched the ground, and could only exchange a few words with David during th
She had once loved him deeply, and later truly hated him. But after everything they'd been through, they still chose each other. Perhaps it was because David had made the effort to understand her better and learned to compromise.Selina was sharing this because she felt that if they were going to be
David watched Selina finish her meal, and knowing she had work to do, decided not to disturb her further.Before leaving, he playfully demanded a "service charge," pestering Selina until she stood on her tiptoes to plant a kiss on his cheek."Don't forget to apply your medicine," Selina teased, step
Hurrying downstairs, she spotted David's car parked at the curb. Though it looked like an ordinary sedan from the outside, it was specially modified - David had it customized for picking her up, knowing she preferred to keep a low profile.She had planned to sneak up and see what David did while wai
Bruno's escape from his engagement caught everyone off guard. Even more surprising was his announcement that he was in love with the Robinson's daughter.Overnight, besides the Presidential Palace and the Finance Minister, Daniel also became Lumina's media hotspot, with his every move under scrutiny
The blackout curtains kept the room dark - if not for her phone, she would have thought it was still night. Her whole body ached.Though she and David had been intimate before, last night's mix of tenderness and passion was a different kind of sweet torture compared to their previous encounters mark
The call was from Nelson. "Selina, where are you? Joseph's been hurt, it's critical. Get to Lumina Hospital as soon as possible." Nelson's voice was unusually tense, completely lacking his typical calm composure. Before Selina could ask more, he hung up.Standing beside her, David had overheard Nel
Though the news had been suppressed in Lumina, those who needed to know did. David had been having Bruno watched, worried he might target Selina. But no one had anticipated this move.Selina's eyes widened with curiosity and confusion. "What does his running away have to do with Joseph getting hurt?
After tossing and turning, Selina couldn't fall back asleep. After calculating the time difference, she decided to call Thomas.Thomas had just finished dealing with William's matter when he saw Selina's call. Checking the time in Japan, his expression changed slightly as he quickly answered."Selin
Worried he wouldn't believe her, she added, "You can verify right now who really controls S Tech Group."Bruno hesitated before hanging up to verify Selina's claims.He had originally planned to stay by Selina's side as David, hoping she would gradually fall for him.He believed that with enough tim
He was much more cautious now, choosing his words carefully.Selina took a deep breath, her bottom lip turning white from biting it, and finally steeled herself."Didn't you say before that you'd fed David to the fish?" she said through gritted teeth. "Now you're trying to use him to threaten me? Do
The implication was clear - if they protected Selina well, he'd overlook their failure with Bruno. If not, their punishment would be even worse.The guards quickly agreed.Watching Joseph stride away urgently, Selina had no choice but to return to the hotel under the guards' watchful eyes.She paced
Seeing Selina on the verge of losing control, Joseph quickly grabbed her arm. "Selina, stay calm. Now that we have him, unless he wants to die..."Before he could finish, Bruno suddenly broke free from his captors and made a dash for the balcony.No one expected Bruno to make such a desperate move,
A silver flash.Selina's middle and index fingers held a silver needle, which she ruthlessly jabbed into Bruno's arm.Bruno's arm went numb, involuntarily releasing Selina.Selina quickly spun around and kicked straight at his most vulnerable area.Crack—A faint sound.Selina's movement was so fast
Bruno had come to Japan following news of David and her.He was so focused on plotting against David that he forgot to clean up his own tracks.From the moment she saw him in the ICU and suspected he wasn't David, Selina had appeared to ask Joseph for help investigating, but had actually told Thomas
Selina didn't know, nor did she want to."But I want to keep playing," Bruno looked up again, all previous dejection gone as an almost cruel smile crept into his eyes. "Unless you want to watch David die a gruesome death."Under his gaze, Selina felt a chill like a venomous snake slowly crawling up
The man unconsciously raised his hand to touch his cheek. Noticing Selina watching, his fingers twitched slightly before he pretended to rub his forehead, nodding reluctantly."I'm curious about what happened when you met him that day?" Selina blinked, smiling as she looked at him."I..." the man st
