Aaron bit her earlobe. "This is the consequence of provoking me."
Selena immediately bit down on his shoulder, but what followed left her unable to even curse.
This man was truly a beast!
Aveline had a good night's sleep.
Perhaps it was because Selena was beside her, making her feel at ease.
She opened her eyes and said, "Selena, time to get up. I'll make some pasta for you. What kind would you like?"
As Aveline spoke, she got up, but when she looked beside her, Selena was nowhere to be found.
Where did she go?
Startled, Aveline quickly put on her shoes and hurried out to look for her..
But Selena was nowhere in the room.
She quickly grabbed her phone and called her, only to hear Selena's phone ringing in the bedroom.
Aveline's face darkened immediately!
What was going on?
Where did Selena go?
Why didn't she take her phone?
In the modern world, no one would leave their home without their phones.
And when did Selena leave?
Why didn't Aveline have any memory of it?
As Aveline was lost in thought, there was a knock on the door.
She rushed over to open it, only to see Selena standing there, looking utterly exhausted and drained, as if someone had sucked the life out of her. "Selena, where did you go?" Aveline asked, grabbing her hand.
Selena forced a weak smile. "I wasn't feeling well after drinking last night, so I woke up early and went for
a walk."
Was that really it?
Aveline looked at her suspiciously, noticing her awkward gait and the heavy exhaustion that seemed to weigh her down.
"Are you okay?" Aveline asked, clearly worried.
Selena waved her hand. "I'm fine. I didn't sleep well last night. Looks like I need to quit drinking. I'm going
to take a nap. Ave, sweetheart, you don't need to worry about me. Just go to work."
With that, she returned to the bedroom, collapsed onto the bed, and closed her eyes, ready to fall asleep.
Damn it, Aaron had kept her up all night!
It was like he was trying to wear her out, not even letting her sleep!
Aveline tucked her in and was about to leave when she suddenly paused.
She noticed the hickey on Selena's neck.
The mark was fresh and vivid, clearly left there last night.
So, Selena had lied.
But since she didn't want to talk about it, Aveline didn't press her.
She quietly left the room, prepared breakfast, and after eating, left the rest in the pot so Selena could have it when she woke up.
Then she headed out for work.
As she reached the underground parking garage, Aveline's phone rang.
She checked the caller ID-it was Russell.
"Hello, Russ," Aveline answered, a hint of a smile in her voice.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
"Good morning. Are you free right now? I'd like to introduce you to the two bodyguards I arranged for you, "Russell said.
Aveline glanced at the time and replied, "Not right now. Can we do it at noon? I'm running late for work." "Sure, no problem," Russell agreed. After hanging up, Aveline drove to work.
Around noon, Aveline called Russell to arrange a meeting place.
They decided to meet at the restaurant right below her office.
Russell arrived quickly, followed by two tall bodyguards.
Aveline stood up. "Russ."
Russell waved his hand. "No need to be so formal; you're making me feel like some kind of mob boss. Let's sit and talk."
Aveline smiled. To be honest, when Russell had walked in, he really did have the aura of a big shot.
Russell turned to the two bodyguards and said, "From now on, you two are responsible for her safety. Go ahead and introduce yourselves."
