Reclaiming Her Heart

Nighttime.

Everyone had been on edge lately because Raymond had been aggressively acquiring other companies. But in the past couple of days, Raymond had suddenly stopped, and people began to let their guard down. They were also speculating about where Raymond had gone.

Inside the villa.

It was already 1 AM. Selena was pushing away Raymond, who kept trying to get closer. She tapped his palm with her fingertip.

"We'll get caught," she whispered.

Christopher's alter ego was a very perceptive person. Just because he didn't notice last night didn't mean he wouldn't tonight. Besides, Selena always felt that Christopher's alter ego had secrets.

Raymond's lips were pressed against her ear. "We won't. I'll be gentle."

He promised to be gentle, but since 11 PM, he had been really intense.

Selena bit his shoulder, making him yelp in pain.

The door to the room was suddenly knocked on. Christopher's alter ego was outside, asking, "Selena, are you still awake?"

Selena's heart nearly jumped out of her chest. She quickly pushed Raymond, trying to get him out of her body, but he refused, holding her tightly. "Just don't say anything."

Her forehead was covered in sweat. He tenderly wiped it away and kissed her before quickening his pace.

Selena was truly exasperated with Raymond. Christopher's alter ego was right outside, and he was still like this.

Christopher's alter ego stood at the door, asking the two people nearby, "Did she take her medicine tonight?"

They nodded.

The medicine had a sedative effect, so she should have been asleep.

He didn't go in to disturb her.

Inside the room, Raymond had finished. He rested his forehead against hers, breathing heavily.

In the dim light from outside, Selena glared at him. Still feeling angry, she tugged at his hair.

Raymond tilted his head back in response, then quickly lowered it to soothe her. "It's okay. I knew he wouldn't come in."

Selena turned her head away, clearly upset.

Raymond quickly grabbed her fingertips and kissed them.

"About that K you mentioned last time, I investigated. He's very well-hidden. BK was like a demon to the older generation in Vistalia, but the younger generation rarely saw him. After BK retired, the underground forces in Vistalia split into many factions. BK didn't reappear, and over time, people forgot about him, though they still remembered the legend."

Hearing him talk business, Selena had no choice but to set aside her anger for the moment.

She tapped his palm again with her fingertip.

"Are you not confident about facing him?"

"It's not about confidence. This person is deeply hidden. Paul and I couldn't find out when he snuck in, or if he even snuck in. He might have a legitimate identity that allows him to be here. We don't know what that identity is, which means he's been hiding for many years. He's very cunning, not someone who can be taken down easily." Selena's heart raced. She tightly grasped his hand. "What do we do?"

Raymond chuckled and bit her fingertip lightly. "He said you're the leader, which means he won't harm you. As long as he doesn't harm you, I'm relieved. Selena, if he ever puts you in a difficult position again, choose to save yourself. Don't think about me, not even for a second. Understand?"

As long as K existed, she would inevitably face such choices in the future.

Selena didn't respond. She pushed him off and turned away, still angry.

Raymond wrapped his arms around her waist from behind.noveldrama

"You just need to live well. No matter where you are, I'll find you. And I won't die, Selena. I just need to know you love me..."

At this point, he seemed a bit embarrassed and held her tighter.

"No matter how hurtful your words are, I'll comfort myself, knowing you had no choice because of K. I won't take it to heart. I won't make the same mistake again, Selena. I'm really changing..."

He truly was changing. In the past, if Selena had rejected him in front of so many people, he would never have come back.

This time, just suspecting she had her reasons, he had decisively infiltrated.

Realizing this made Selena's heart ache even more.

If only they could be together peacefully, how wonderful that would be.
