Reclaiming Her Heart

It felt like a tiger or a wolf was pouncing on her from behind.

The next second, she was lifted up and placed on the entryway cabinet.

"Mr. Montague!"

She was so frightened that her voice became hoarse. Being lifted up and seated on the cabinet, she was now at the same height as him.

Raymond himself was quite tall.

Selena, scared, leaned against the wall, but her chin was held by him.

She already knew from the first night that he was completely dominant in bed, completely different from the cold and noble image he projected to others. Otherwise, he wouldn't have thrown her so recklessly into the hospital.

With her chin held, Selena didn't dare to move, her eyes filled with tears.

Raymond looked at her face like a source of trouble, and his other hand rested on her waist.

Leaning in, he kissed her without giving her a chance to refuse, prying open her lips.

Selena was completely stunned, her body stiff.

After reacting, she started struggling to get down.

She gasped for breath as he kissed her, her legs turning weak under the touch of his lips.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and for a moment, she stopped, as if countless hands were pulling her, dragging her into this quagmire.

The kiss continued downward.

Raymond bent slightly, finally encountering the scenery he had seen that night.

A spark of realization flashed through Selena's mind, abruptly awakening her as she forcefully pushed him away.

Her push was incredibly strong, even Raymond couldn't evade it and took a few steps back.

Selena quickly fell from the cabinet, opened the door, and ran outside.

However, because she was so panicked, she fell on the ground right after stepping out, scattering the papers from her hands like falling snowflakes. Raymond had intended to embrace her, but she fell too quickly for him to react.

Now, Selena sat amidst a pile of documents, not caring about the pain in her leg. Instead, she hurriedly picked up the scattered papers one by one. Raymond crouched down, noticing that she refused to look up, so he deliberately placed his hand on the closest piece of paper.

She had hurriedly retrieved all the papers, but had not yet pulled this sheet.

Raymond stayed still, watching as a few drops of water suddenly fell onto the paper in front of him.

Was she crying?

The drops of water spread on the white paper.

Raymond reached out and lifted her chin, confirming his suspicion. She was indeed crying.

Her clothes were disheveled, with unfastened buttons left undone. The harsh kiss had left marks from his neck down, faintly visible through her slightly open collar. "Crying because of my kiss?"

His tone was indifferent as his gaze focused on her face.

Selena's pupils contracted slightly, finding it hard to believe that Raymond would say such words.

Everyone said he was an unattainable flower, sitting aloof and alone, never seen with a companion. Selena didn't have the confidence to think she could capture him.

Moreover, she didn't even like him.

It was more accurate to say that she was scared and almost fell into panic, which made her cry.

The corners of Raymond's narrow eyes lifted slightly, revealing an unconcerned look in the depths of his gaze.

"Sorry, mistook you for someone else."

He stood up slightly, leaning against the door with one hand. "I thought Olivia had come."

Selena was taken aback, relieved that Raymond didn't expect her to leave.

So, he had made plans with Olivia tonight?

Raymond pointed at the elevator, and his slender fingertips seemed to still hold the warmth of her body.

"Aren't you supposed to celebrate your promotion with your husband? Why not leave?"

Selena suddenly realized that he was probably afraid that Olivia would misunderstand if she stayed.

She let out a sigh of relief and quickly wiped away her tears.

"Mr. Montague, then I'll take my leave."

Raymond furrowed his brows and closed the door directly.

Selena entered the elevator, her legs going weak, and hastily grabbed onto the railing inside.

If it were any other woman, they would have probably resisted half-heartedly.

Raymond's face was simply too charming.

Selena's loved ones had no room for resistance. She glanced at the mirror and noticed that her buttons were not properly fastened.

The slightly open collar revealed some red marks, and she quickly raised her hand to fasten the buttons. However, at that moment, the elevator stopped on the first floor and someone walked in.

It was Alex.

Selena's hand froze, and she almost instinctively turned around. But there were mirrors everywhere inside the elevator, so even if she turned, her face and the marks on her neck would still be seen without any omission. It was an unmistakable display.

Alex glanced at her, raising an eyebrow slightly, and spoke with a smile, "Selena?"
