Reclaiming Her Heart

Selena stopped wiping her hair and immediately thought of the Bentley during the day.

Puzzled, she pondered, 'The woman said she would pay for it, didn't she?'

Frowning, she changed into a decent outfit and came down to the police station.

"Miss Fair, this is a photo of the damaged car with the license plate 11111. This is the surveillance video. It shows clearly that at 6:20 p.m., you hit the Bentley's rear and left without any contact information. The owner demands to hold you fully responsible."Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Sullen, Selena pointed at another car on the monitor screen. "See the lady here? She said she was in a hurry and offered to pay for the damage. Only then did I leave."

"Miss Fair, even so, I'm afraid that the owner is holding you accountable. Here is a bill from the owner's insurance company. Please take a look."

It amounted to 50,670 dollars in damages.

Selena had the money but wasn't convinced at all. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She thought, 'The haughty woman got away just like this?' "Miss Fair, if nothing else..."

The cop was in the middle of speaking when his colleague pushed the door and entered. "Miss Fair, someone has bailed you out. You may go."

Selena was stunned, thinking, 'No one knows. Who's here?'

She walked out following the cop and saw a black car parked not far away.

The young cop nodded at her. "Your family, presumably."

Selena smiled, "Thanks."

After he left, she turned around and walked toward the car. Right when she wanted to ask who it was, the car door opened, and she was dragged in. Something was off. Realizing that, she wanted to call for help.

Yet before she could make a sound, someone had already covered her nose and mouth with a pungent handkerchief. She struggled for a second, but all her strength seemed to have been drained away. She passed out completely. In a daze, she heard someone laughing. "Mr. Anderson is waiting at the hotel. Let's take her there now. I bet he's horny already."

"Damn! She's pretty indeed. See her face and figure? Man, she's like a model. No wonder Mr. Anderson asked us to kidnap her after he saw the surveillance video."

Selena thought, 'Joseph?

'He still doesn't wanna give up after hearing I'm Raymond's wife. What should I do?'

She pressed her fingertips against her palms, and the stinging pain made her increasingly dizzy head a bit clearer.

She knew for sure that she would be ruined if they took her to Joseph's room.

After the car stopped, she was dragged out into the hotel lobby.

She was weak all over when being held by two men. Just as they were about to walk down the corridor to the VIP elevator on the next floor, she heard someone talking. "Mr. Montague, I'm so sorry. I've had the presidential suite ready for you. It's just next door. I'll walk you there."

The hotel manager said with reverence and awe.

"It was our mistake. We've already checked the room repeatedly in the evening and disinfected it again according to Mr. Walker's request. The bathroom equipment broke unexpectedly..." The manager kept apologizing, thinking, 'This is a first. And the accident happened in Mr. Montague's room? Fuck me!

'I'm the unluckiest man on Earth!'

"Enough. You may leave," Raymond interrupted impatiently, his hair half-wet, his expression cold. "Ask your employees to check other rooms more carefully. I don't wanna see such mistakes again." "For sure, Mr. Montague!"

The hotel manager wiped his sweat, lingering in fear. After making such a big mistake in front of his immediate boss shortly after he took office, he wept for his future career.

As Raymond took the room card and walked down the corridor, he saw several people coming toward him.

They didn't catch his attention. He was about to go to the elevator on the other side when a woman bumped into him, followed by a sweet scent.

Raymond was already annoyed, and now, his expression instantly darkened even more.

Just as he was about to push her away, she looked up. Her face was nothing but familiar.

The men grasping Selena were caught off guard by her sudden actions. Given Raymond's imposing aura, they were intimidated and didn't dare to act recklessly. Selena clung tightly to Raymond's waist as if he were her life-saving straw.

"Honey..."

Raymond froze, and the two men were stunned, too. They wanted to grab her, but after hearing that, they hurriedly pulled back their hands.

They thought, 'He's her husband? Mr. Anderson didn't say she was married. And we bumped into him? How lucky for us! Fuck! What should we do now?'

Being annoyed several times, Raymond had already run out of patience. He was about to pull Selena away when he heard her whisper, begging him, "Help me. Please."

Selena buried her face in Raymond's chest. She had to wrap her hands around his waist to keep herself from collapsing to the floor.

Her body was trembling slightly, as she was so nervous.

Raymond had already raised his hand, yet he paused. Then he looked up at the two unfamiliar men, his gaze icy.

The men's expressions changed so quickly. Obviously, they were up to something.

Under Raymond's oppressive aura, they were suffocating and couldn't help but step back in unison. Just then, the elevator doors not far away opened, and Joseph walked out. He had been waiting for so long that he began to wonder if something had gone wrong.

The men saw Joseph and walked over at once.

Joseph had been an experienced player and had been coveting Selena for a long time. After giving it much thought, he figured that one night wasn't gonna be enough. He had a camera and psychedelic prepared.

Aiming to turn Selena into his plaything, he planned on recording the fantastic night. In such a way, she would do whatever he wanted from now on.

He thought, 'This is the price you've got to pay for lying to me, woman!'

It was the second time he saw Raymond today, and he was flustered for a second. Yet he soon regained his composure and walked over with a smile.

"Mr. Montague, Penny is actually my girlfriend. She drank too much. I'm sorry if she offended you."

Raymond glanced at the blushing Selena in his arms and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The word "girlfriend" echoed in his mind.

The psychedelic had already kicked in, and Selena could no longer think straight. The only thing she remembered was Raymond was the only one she could rely on right now. "Honey, he... is lying. I'm not his girlfriend."
