Chapter 398

Selena couldn’t resist him at all. Her lips were weak and numb as he forced himself against her; heeven bit onto her lip as if he was trying to punish her. When they finally pulled away from eachother, she felt a burning ache on her lips. “You f*cking…” She could tell that her lips were swellingup.

“I regret it.” Pierre’s voice sounded from above her, and she looked up to meet his solemnexpression. His breathing was ragged, perhaps because he had been deprived of oxygen after thelong kiss that they shared.

“What do you regret?” She knew what he meant then, but she wanted to ask the question anyway.novelbin

“Breaking up. I regret breaking up. I don’t want to break up with you.” Pierre finally came to hisdecision when he saw Selena chatting and laughing with another man. At the sight of that, he wasoverwhelmed with jealousy; he nearly lost his mind when he pictured all the possible scenarios inhis head. I can see Selena fooling around with another man, cooking a meal for him, holding hishand and kissing him, getting in bed and sleeping with him… No! I can’t handle it! It feels likesomeone stabbed me a thousand times whenever I think about it. I can’t bear to see my womanwith another man!

Selena was glad to finally hear the words that she had been waiting for, but that didn’t mean thatshe would make things any easier for him. Hence, she turned her face away as she scoffed. “Whatdo you think I am? Do I look like a motel to you? Do you think you can just come around to look forme and leave me whenever you please?”

He gently caressed her cheek with his large palm. “I don’t want to be with anyone else, Selena. I’drisk my life just to take care of you and the kids.” I’ll sacrifice my life if I have to… I’ll do anything toprotect them; to ensure that they never get hurt in the future.

His words sounded like a noble oath, yet Selena didn’t seem happy to hear it at all, for she simplyturned her face away to avoid looking at him. “You sure are great with words. I know a man whogave a really amazing speech when he proposed, but he broke his promise just days after that. I’mnot some young teenage girl, and I won’t allow you to cheat my feelings with your empty promises.I’ve fallen for it once, so I won’t fall for it again.” Her words were caught up in her throat as shebegan to tear up at the end of her sentence. She had been heartbroken after her relationship withFinneas, and it took her so much effort and courage just to be able to wholly love another man. Buthow did that turn out? The man whom I loved dumped me anyway!

A teardrop landed on the surface of Pierre’s shoe just seconds after she blinked. He felt his heartclenching in agony at the sight of her tears—he knew that he should have never asked for abreakup back then. She’s still a girl after all. She may be worth tens of billions, but she still has aheart made of flesh, for she’s just a girl, and she isn’t as strong as I thought her to be. “I’m sorry…”Pierre realized how he had been too careless with his words and actions in the past.

“Sorry?” She snorted when she heard that. “Do you think your apologies are worth anything? Doyou understand how hard it was for me to fall in love with someone again, Pierre? I kept remindingmyself not to make the same mistakes; I kept telling myself to love you a little less and to lovemyself more, but I couldn’t do it!” Tears gushed out of her eyes like water out of a dam. “How dareyou abandon me when I loved you so dearly! You abandoned me, Pierre…” She bit her lip justbefore she came to her final sentence. Now, she understood why Pierre did what he did, but shejust couldn’t stop the words that came out of her mouth. “How are you any different from Finneas?”

He immediately slammed his fist into the wall beside her face. “Don’t compare the both of us! I’mnothing like him!”

She sneered. “I don’t think you guys are any different. You might think that you’re different, but areyou really any better than him?”
