2025-01-03 16:49:29Selune’s fists clenched at her sides, her knuckles white.
“I have done nothing wrong. Why should I apologize?”
She tried to play it cool, but her voice trembled with frustration.
Ana’s face flushed with anger. “You… you ungrateful child!” She spluttered.
“After all your father and I did to arrange this perfect marriage for you, this is how you repay us?! Talking back?! Refusing to get married?! What’s happened to you?!”
Ana felt her entire world crumbling. The weight of her sacrifices was unbearable!
As the daughter of a baron, Ana’d already lowered herself by marrying a commoner like Selune’s father.
To make matters worse, her husband couldn’t even inherit his own family’s estate!
Now, Selune’s engagement to Ken Wells was supposed to be their ticket out of disgrace—a chance to claw back some shred of the life Ana believed she deserved.
She had dreamt of luxury, of wealth, of reclaiming her rightful place in society. But her complying daughter seemed determined to ruin everything.
Ana was certain. The real problem was the man standing next to Selune!
Her eyes darted to Arthur, her expression venomous.
“It’s you,” she hissed. “You’ve poisoned her mind, haven’t you? Filling her head with lies and rebellion? You’ve got some nerve showing up here.”
Arthur’s eyes narrowed, scanning the scene with icy clarity. The pieces fell into place.
To this family, Selune wasn’t a person—she was a bargaining chip, a tool to be traded.
And Ken? He was nothing but a trash. The stench of alcohol clung to him, his bloodshot eyes darting around like a cornered animal.
Arthur didn’t need to dig deep to see the truth: Ken Wells wasn’t even close to being worthy of Selune.
Ana turned to Ken, her fake smile plastered on as if trying to sweeten the moment.
“Mr. Wells, let’s not waste time. I’ll take Selune home and make sure she’s kept out of the way until the wedding. No more trouble from her, I promise.”
She waved a hand dismissively toward Arthur. “As for this man… do whatever you want. He’s nothing.”
Ken’s grin widened, his ego inflating under Ana’s words. He stood a little taller, puffing up like a showing off rooster.
“Fine.” he said with a smug drawl, his voice dripping with arrogance. His gaze shifted to Selune, and his expression turned dark.
“I’m not marrying some used-up woman, but if Selune spends one night with me... we’ll call it even.”
His smirk twisted into something cruel. Turning to Arthur, he sneered, “As for you… get on your knees and beg for forgiveness. Maybe then I’ll consider letting you go.”
Ana nodded eagerly, her desperation plain as she tried to appease him. “Of course, Mr. Wells, you’re so generous. Selune is lucky to have someone like you.”
In her mind, if letting Selune spend a night with him meant saving the Herbert family from disaster, it was a small price to pay.
Selune’s face went ghostly pale, like all the blood had drained from her.
She looked at her mother in shock, eyes widen with disbelief. Her mother’s words echoed in her mind, cutting deeper with each repetition. The weight of betrayal pressed down on her chest.
She opened her mouth to speak, but no sound came out.
Ken laughed, triumphant, and reached out to grab her arm.
“Hahaha, finally, someone who knows how to play the game!”
But just as his hand closed in, his wrist was caught in an unyielding grip.
Ken’s smirk vanished. He tried to pull his arm free, but the grip only tightened, cutting off any sense of control he thought he had.
“Let go! You fucking garbage.” Ken growled, “Get on your knees right now! Or else I will-”
“You will what?” Arthur sneered, his voice cold as ice.
His eyes locked onto Ken with an intensity. Air around them seem to drop in temperature.
“You think you’re in any position to demand anything?”

After what felt like an eternity, the man suddenly coughed up water and began to breathe again."Thank goodness. He’s alive!"Selune let out a shaky breath, relief flooding her chest. But even though he was breathing, he still hadn’t regained consciousness.They were in the middle of nowhere, with only her family’s secluded villa nearby. Selune didn’t have time to wait for help.She decided to take him inside first, and call an ambulance.If she left him here alone, he wouldn’t survive the night.With a grunt, She draped his heavy arm over her shoulder and struggled to lift his massive frame—he was at least six feet tall—towards the villa.She was glad she’d kept up with her fitness, but even with her strength, it was still a tough task.

“Are you alright?” Arthur’s calm voice broke through Selune’s haze.She turned, startled to find him standing close. When had he moved behind her?She took a shaky breath, the sound of his voice grounding her like a lifeline in a storm.Without hesitation, she swung the door open, only to freeze in place.Leaning casually against the doorframe, exuding arrogance, was none other than Ken Wells—her so-called fiancé.“What are you doing here?” Selune’s voice wavered between shock and irritation.She hadn’t expected Ken to show up now, especially not with a dozen or so bodyguards in tow.“What? No warm welcome for your fiancé?” Ken flicked ash from the cigarette, shooting her a sideways glance. “Invite me in for a drink, sweetheart.”"Not a good time." Selune replied sharply, keeping the door cracked just enough to block his view.Her nose wrinkled at the pungent mix of alcohol and stale sweat clinging to him.Ken’s smirk twisted into a sneer.“Tsk. You’re asking for it, aren’t you?”Even

“Leo, no!” Selune snapped, giving the lion a light smack. “He’s a guest. Back to your cage!”Leo let out a low growl, shooting Arthur one last murderous glare before turning and slinking off.After locking Leo up, Selune handed Arthur a glass of water.“Sorry about that,” she said, her tone softening just a little. “Leo’s not great with strangers. I don’t get many visitors.”"Sorry about that," she said. "Leo doesn’t really like strangers. I don’t get many visitors."Her icy demeanor cracked for a moment as she glanced back at the lion. “When I got him, he was so small he could fit in my hand. Now look at him.”Arthur followed her gaze to the massive golden lion, eyeing him cautiously.“Don’t get near to him.” Selune glanced warily at Arthur. "I know you’re strong, but against a full-grown lion? You’d be toast. Some guy broke in once—Leo ripped him apart. Let’s just say the cops had a lot of cleanup to do."There was no question that Leo was a powerful lion, standing nearly as tall as

The problem seemed simple: just a few busted wires.Arthur grabbed a toolbox from the trunk and got to work under the hood.His hands moved with practiced precision, cutting away the fried sections and patching them up.Then he paused, brows furrowing slightly.This damage... It wasn’t random. It felt deliberate.But he didn’t stop his hands, tightening screws and finishing the job.Selune was pacing nearby, her phone held high as she hunted for a signal. She barely heard Arthur call out to her.“It’s fixed. Give it a try.”“What? You can fix cars?” Selune blinked, a mix of confusion and curiosity flashed across her face.She slid back into the driver’s seat, turned the key—and sure enough, the engine roared to life.“You lose your memory, and you can still fix cars? Is this... muscle memory or something?”Arthur shrugged. “Maybe.”“You’re way too familiar with cars—You sure you weren’t a mechanic before?”“ If you don’t remember your past, you’ve got a backup career lined up.

"It's getting late. Grab your stuff. I'll be waiting in the car,"Selune said, glancing at her watch before turning and walking out of the villa without waiting for Arthur to respond.Arthur picked up his ruined combat suit from the floor. With a flick of his wrist, a burst of golden flame shot from his palm.In an instant, the suit was consumed by the fire, reduced to smoke that disappeared into the air.There was no trace left, just like the past he wanted to bury.He couldn’t afford to leave any evidence behind. His enemies weren’t the type to let him walk away.If they couldn’t find his body, it wouldn’t be long before they tracked him here.Once the poison in him wore off, he’d make sure everyone who’d betrayed him paid for it.By the time Arthur stepped outside, Selune was already waiting in the car.A sleek Rolls-Royce Phantom sat in the driveway, its ghostly-gray body gleaming in the fading sunlight.Through the tinted windows, the light caught Selune’s pale blonde hair, givin
