It had been about five minutes since Bob and Selena left the Villa. Neither one of them had made conversation with the other. However, Selena notices him frowning every time he gazes at her through the v-mirror.
At first, Selena did not have any intention to react to Bob's attitude towards her. But after his fourth frown, she knew she had to say something.
"Do you hate me or just don't like the reality that your boss' behavior has changed towards me?" Selena calmly asked.
Bob kept his sight on the road as he tried to figure out if he should be honest or lie since his boss likes her now. At last, he settled on telling Selena about how he truly felt.
"Both," Bob replied.
Selena pauses for a while as she tries to understand what wrong she has done to make Bob hate her. After thinking for some time, she could not find any logical reason that Bob may have for him to resent
Selena entered her room and shut the door. Except for the fact that it was tidier than the way she left it, nothing had changed, and everything was in its rightful place.Her heart felt a bit broken to say goodbye to this space since it was where she had the best moment of her life. However, Selena's grief only lasted for about a few seconds when she realized that the people she had created these memories with were nothing but liars who have filled her spirit with so much hate and rage.The moment Selena remembered all the lies and pain Jin, Mila, and Liam had caused her, it did not seem like a bad idea that she was leaving her home. Although Selena deemed that Gabriel's house was the opposite of heaven, she still preferred being with a devil who never pretended with his attitude toward her, then the ones who claimed to love her but had stabbed her in the back.Selena went over to her closet, grabbed her favorite s
Selena had been standing outside of the villa for about two hours now, and still, she did not feel the need to explain her injuries to Gabriel since she did not want him meddling in her affair.There was a lot of anger and stress building up inside of her heart that made her body feel tense and drained. So much has happened today that had her wishing the day could come to an end already.It was getting late, and the wind had gotten a bit strong. Selena looked up at the sky and saw that the clouds had lost their blue color and were dark gray. She wrapped her hands around her body and hoped that Gabriel would stop his madness and allow her inside.Over the past few hours, Selena had tried her best to give into Gabriel's wish and come clean about what had happened to her, yet every time the thought crossed her mind, she felt this firm sense of stubbornness flowing through her veins.Ga
The next morning, a knock on Gabriel's door woke Selena from her sleep. She got out of the bed, approached the door, and opened it."Good morning, miss. My young master asked me to deliver these items to you." Anna said as she handed three bags to Selena."Wait, when did he have the time to shop? Are we not going shopping again?" Selena asked as she accepted the bags."Sir, purchased this stuff early this morning, and they arrived a while ago. But he didn't want us giving them to you that early since you needed to rest from last night's episode." Anna stated."How sweet of him," Selena said out loud before realizing that she meant to say it in her head.Selena felt embarrassed as she gave Anna an awkward smile."Sir said that you should freshen up, get dressed, and come to the dining room to have breakfast with him," Anna stated. Then she returned a gentle smile."Umm, okay. Thank you." Selena replied before shutting the door behind her.Selena walked over to the bed and started dumpin

As Gabriel and Selena approached Gabriel's vehicle in the parking lot, she noticed that he was still holding onto her hand. However, Selena did not struggle to get her hand from in his since she could see that he was sore."Welcome back, Boss!" Bob declared as he stood by the car's back door and opened it for Selena and Gabriel.Gabriel did not respond. Instead, he got into the car, and Selena followed. They were both seated when the sound of the police cars' siren vibrated throughout the parking lot.The outdoors of the “Deluxe” restaurantappeared like a crime scene. People were still in shock from what had happened, and the police were trying their best to get a clear understanding of what had taken place in the restaurant."Where is she?" Jin announced after rushing out of the restaurant's door."Who are you looking for, miss?" An officer asked Jin.&n
Gabriel was sitting in his study that night, deep in his thoughts. A lot of information about the Adler family was still unknown to him, but one thing he could agree on was the truth that he had made the right decision by keeping Selena by his side."I wonder if she's sleeping now. Does her foot still hurt?" Gabriel mumbled with his eyes focused on the blank wall.'Wait! Why am I thinking of her?' Gabriel thought.At that moment, his phone suddenly drew his attention back to the room as it vibrated on the desk. He then reached out for it and answered.“Hey, Dan. Do you have any information for me?” Gabriel asked.His worries seemed to subside a bit when his friend's name appeared on the phone's screen.“Seriously, you don't have any consideration toward me. Why didn't you ask about how I am doing? Instead, your mind seems focused
Jin rushed into the Adler mansion in tears. She and Zac had a heated argument about what had happened at the restaurant. She could not believe that she did not notice before how cowardly her boyfriend behaves."He could not stand up to that stupid alpha! What a turkey." Jin mumbled as she climbed the stairs with her hands folded in a fist.Jin finally reached her room and entered, then shut the door. Once she turned her room light on, she jumped back in shock when she saw Mila seated on the edge of her bed."Where have you been?" Her mother said in a stone-cold tone.'Why is she here? It's all Selena's fault. If she did not cause trouble for Zac and me, then we wouldn't argue, and I wouldn't be home this late.' Jin thought while staring at Mila, who seemed to be losing her patience."I am out there trying to get you to a position that would make you invisible, and you can't even
"Shut your mouth!" Mila yelled at her daughter after giving Jin another slap."He died." Jin cried as her body trembled in fear."I see that," Mila stated with less care in her tone.She stared in dismay at the pieces of body parts in the crate. The arms, legs, head, and other organs were all separated."Who would do such a gross thing, and why would they send him here?" Jin asked as she struggled to suppress her urge to vomit."If I remember clearly. Rake is your hitman. So I should be the one asking you why he got sliced up and stuff in a box?" Mila said."I asked him to kill Selena the day of the party, but after reporting that he got the job done, he disappeared. No one had seen him, nor was he answering his calls.""Now we know why he wasn't answering his calls.""Do you think Selena did it?"
