Chapter 179
Selene raised her hand and gently patted Michelle on the head, as if she were a child who had just won a school competition.
“Tell me, my dear lovely sister, do you recognize me now p>
Michelle stared at Selene, as if she’d just seen a ghost, and it took all her self-control not to scream ghost out loud.
Selene continued to smile at her, patting Michelle’s hair one more time.
“Now that you know who I truly am, you’d better get ready, because when I strike, it will be swift and unforgiving. Don’t say I didn’t warn you when the time comes,” Selene finished, her voice dripping with quiet menace.
The corners of her lips stretched into a slow, calculated smile as an evil glint flashed through her eyes. The intensity of her gaze sent a shiver down Michelle’s spine, and she could feel the weight of Selene’s unspoken threat.
Selene walked past Michelle, who was still unable to say a word, and went her way.
Kael came out of the elevator and found Michelle standing still. He flashed her a glare that frightened her even more than she already was before he went in search of Selene.
“Selene,” he called once he saw her.
Selene turned to look at him with a smile on his lips.
“Do you need anything Kael?” She asked.
“Father said he’d been trying to contact you, but you haven’t been picking up the call,” said Kael.
When Selene had visited her family, she’d exchanged numbers with them. For the past few days, Jeffrey had tried contacting her, but she’d ignored his calls, already aware of what he was going to say to her.
“I know, but I know what he’s going to say over the phone. If he keeps insisting I divorce Xavier, then help me pass this message across to him, I’m not divorcing Xavier,” she said.
“I completely understand that everything must be hard for you, but can you please pick up his call and hear what he has to say? He’s worried about you,” Kael tried to convince her.
“I will think about it,” she responded.
Kael could release a sigh, grumbling, “That’s a manageable response p>
He waved her goodbye as Selene exited the Dreamscape building.
Selene arrived home, feeling a sudden sense of loneliness as she stared at the entrance of the house.
“If only I’d been on good terms with my family, I would have gone to them to spend time when Xavier isn’t around,” she mumbled, sighing as she pinched the skin between her brows in frustration. “My life has always been a fucked up shit and I just have to live with it,” she sighed.
All of a sudden, her phone rang with a text.
Instantly, Selene fetched it from her bag thinking it came from a certain person.
Unfortunately, it came from Kael reminding her to pick up their father’s call, when he called her again.
Selene’s face faltered in disappointment.
“I better go take my nap p>
Selene stepped down from the car and marched towards the entrance of the house.
Although, when she stepped in, she noticed something different with the air.
It smelled delicious.
Throwing her bag away, Selene rushed towards the kitchen—where the aroma was coming from—where she believed the person who was making that food was.
Only Xavier-made food cooking can fill not only the kitchen but the living room also.
When Selene sighted Xavier, she wasted no time and threw herself in his arms. He responded by wrapping his arms around her.
“You didn’t tell me you were coming back,” she said, burying her head on his chest.
“I wanted to surprise you,” Xavier replied, breaking from the hug. “And make you some food,” he added, gesturing towards the dining table that was filled with so many delicacies.
“You made a lot,” she stated, as she stared at the tasty-looking food whose aroma continued to escape into her nostrils, begging her to eat them already. “When did you arrive?” She asked.
“Three hours ago,” he responded with a grin as he glanced at her lips.
“Three hours ago? That was when I left ho p>
Selene didn’t get the chance to complete her lips when all of a sudden, Xavier’s lips captured her, parting her lips as soon as they touched.
He kissed her passionately, his grip on her waist as he pulled her closer to him, even when there was no space left to occupy.
She tasted as sweet as always. Xavier wasn’t a fan of sweet things, but with her, he worried he would get diagnosed with diabetes soon.
It was a kiss he never wanted to break free from, but his little brother was starting to wake up.
Just as Xavier was about to break free from the kiss, Selene pulled him back, tasting him back, allowing his scent to consume her.
It had only been a few days since they last saw each other, but to them, it felt like years. Their bodies turned needy as Selene rubbed her fingers at Xavier’s spine, tracing it down to his hips as she pulled him deeper into the kiss.
“Fuck!!” He cursed against her lips.
Lifting her, he walked towards the stairs, heading towards their room, as the sound of their intense make-out filled the air.
Not once did they break the kiss until they reached the door.
As soon as they reached the room, Xavier placed Selene on the bed.
Without warning, he tore Selene’s clothes off, eliciting a small surprised gasp from her. But she didn’t stop him. Her body was too hot and needy to stop. They were just clothes, she could buy another one.
Getting out of his attire, he leaned against her.
“I miss you so much,” he whispered in her ears as he stroked her entrance with his member, which earned him a moan from Selene.
Without further ado, he thrust in, burying his whole length inside her warm cave that swallowed his hard meat with ease.
