Reclaiming Her Heart

This was the first time she had ever seen Raymond this angry.

She silently followed Caterlington, her eyes cast downward. It wasn't until they reached a brighter spot that Caterlington was able to faintly see the marks on her neck.

He immediately felt a wave of concern wash over him. "Did Raymond do this?" He asked.

Selena got into the car; her throat was burning with pain, making it painful even to speak. "Yes," she managed to say.

"He sure is cruel to his wife," Caterlington commented.

A bitter smile spread across Selena's face. The woman who had just been arguing fiercely was now at a loss for words and feeling a sourness in her heart.

"Selena," Caterlington began, "Don't blame me for not warning you. Despite Raymond's unapproachable demeanor, his temper isn't as good as it seems. No one in New York dares to cross him now. Do you know why?" Selena remained silent, just touching her throat quietly.

"Anyone who can make a name for themselves on Wall Street and in Silicon Valley within three years is no easy opponent. People in both places are crazy and don't like each other. But he's able to thrive in both environments. To be honest, me and my buddies sometimes wonder if he has a huge fortune hidden somewhere."

"He's ruthless to himself and even more so to others. If he finds out you've deceived him, the consequences will be severe."

Although Caterlington had ulterior motives, he wasn't exaggerating. Raymond had been ruthless enough to nearly choke her to death just now. What would happen if he found out she was fooling him?

Selena didn't respond. Her throat was in terrible pain; it was burning hot. She urgently needed something cold to drink to relieve the pain.

Seeing her discomfort, Caterlington stopped the car by the roadside and went to a pharmacy to buy some medicine.

As soon as Selena got out of the car, she vomited a bit of blood. This was what usually followed a severe compression of the throat.

Caterlington handed her the medicine. After drinking it, Selena felt a temporary relief in her throat.

She had broken out in a sweat, so she removed her hat and glasses, took out a wet wipe, and cleaned off her makeup, revealing a beautiful, pale face.

Something stirred in Caterlington's heart.

With her eyes cast down, Selena asked uncertainly, "If he really finds out about my identity, will he take revenge against me?"

Caterlington frowned. She seemed very fragile right now, as if she would shatter at a touch.

"Selena, Raymond is a man who stands tall among men. From a man's perspective, if you're not the woman he wants to marry, he will definitely take revenge on you, unless one day he tells you he loves you and wants to marry you. But do you think that's possible?"

Caterlington was playing a mind game here. He asked, "Do you think it's possible?" In fact, he thought it was.

She was so dazzling that Raymond couldn't help but taste her again and again. Some things were just like poison.

But the point was that Raymond didn't know her identity now and thought she was a married woman. Such a proud man would definitely hide his feelings.

Otherwise, it would be too humiliating to lose. He would never allow himself to fall to such a level.

He would never confess his feelings unless he was 100% sure that Selena loved him. Otherwise, he would rather hide everything.

The pride of a man, and the pride of a woman. In some ways, these two were quite alike.

Selena stopped talking. Was it possible? Of course not.

Raymond loved her? Wanted to marry her? She wouldn't dare to dream such a dream even in her sleep.

With a twitch of her mouth, she got back into the car.
