It was evening when Daniel Raizada returned home.
At this time, everyone was present in the garden of the Sighani Villa.
Mia was chatting with Reed, Ronald, and Kevin, while their eyes occasionally drifted toward Selene, who was sitting a little apart.
They wanted Selene to come over and talk, but she didn't even glance their way. She was completely absorbed in talking with her grandfather.
Just then, five cars stopped outside the gate, and a guard ran over to open the middle car's door.
Out stepped a powerful personality—none other than Daniel.
As soon as Daniel entered, Grace Sinclair, sitting in the garden, said, "Son, you're back!"
Hearing her, Daniel moved toward her and said, "Yes, Aunt Grace, my work finished early today, so I came back sooner."
Mia had been watching Daniel since he arrived. She then said, "Daniel, shall I make you black coffee? It will make you feel good."
Daniel glanced at Mia and said, "No need for that. There's already maid service; I'll take care of it myself."
Mia felt disappointed hearing this. Daniel's gaze then shifted to Selene, who was making funny faces while talking to her grandfather. It looked incredibly cute.
Selene's three brothers were also keeping their eyes on her. Seeing her expressions, all three couldn't help but smile.
Daniel, feeling a sudden impulse, walked over to her grandfather. As the old man sensed someone close, he looked up and saw Daniel standing there. Selene, seeing Daniel, puckered her lips.
Daniel didn't like Selene making that face at him. Anger welled up inside, and without saying a word, he left.
Her grandfather asked, "What's wrong with her?"
Selene shrugged her shoulders as if to say, "How would I know?"
Daniel's room:
Daniel was standing under the shower, his hands pressed against the wall in front of him.
He muttered to himself, "Whenever she came close to me, I used to get angry, irritated. But this time… I don't know why, her ignoring me, not even looking at me—it makes me furious."
"Ah… you're playing with fire, little one, and it's not right for you."
Saying this, he laid down in the bathtub as it began to fill automatically with water. Daniel closed his eyes. As soon as he did, Selene's beautiful face appeared in his mind, bringing a devilish smile to his lips.
In a dangerous tone, he whispered, "My little darling… my baby."
It was true—Daniel was 30, Selene just 19.
Later that night, everyone sat down for dinner. Today was different—Daniel was waiting for Selene, but his expression remained serious.
As the grandfather started eating, Grace said, "Papa, Selene hasn't come yet."
The grandfather replied, "Stop worrying about her. Worry about the one you should. And as for Selene, she already told me she'll have her dinner late in her room today."
There was a certain tone in his words that everyone understood. Hearing that Selene would dine in her room, Daniel felt uneasy.
He ate his dinner half-heartedly and left.
Nighttime:
Selene was asleep after a long day. The door creaked slightly open as her other brother, Ronald, peeked in.
Seeing Selene asleep, he smiled softly and whispered, "Good night, baby."
Just as he was about to leave, Ryan entered the room. Seeing him, Ronald smiled, realizing Ryan had also come to check on Selene.
They both wished Selene good night and returned to their rooms.
Daniel's room:
The atmosphere was completely different. Daniel lay on the bed, shirtless, wearing only pants.
The moonlight from the balcony highlighted his body, making him even more irresistible. His abs and commanding presence… what a figure. 🥵
Any girl seeing him at this moment would go crazy, ready to spend even a single night with him.
Daniel whispered to himself, "I don't know why, but now I want to see you, touch you, be near you. You're becoming my addiction, my desire, my habit, my madness, my calm. I don't know what's changed in you this time,
but I'm drawn to you. Preparing myself to have you in my arms… I don't let anyone touch me, but you… you're becoming my peace, my life."
Ah… he felt like he wanted to hold her close and love her endlessly. Thinking of Selene, Daniel eventually drifted to sleep without even realizing it.
Meanwhile, Mia, standing on her balcony, gazed at the moon and whispered to herself, "I love you so much, Daniel.
I'll do anything to make you mine, go to any extent…"
Let's see whose love and passion triumphs and whose doesn't.
