Everything you do seems to be about indulging your twisted pleasures without caring about how others feel. What is it with your circle?

I can wait, but my patience isn’t limitless. Selena, you’d better give me an answer soon.”With that, he walked past her and left without another word.Selena didn’t watch him leave, but her brows furrowed in thought.What answer was he expecting?It certainly wasn’t a rejection.What he wanted was her agreement, her willingness to play along with him.But she didn’t want that.What a hassle.In the hospital room, the silence was heavy.Aveline kept her gaze lowered, fully aware of why Aaron had suddenly shown up.It had to be Lucas who called him to take Selena away.How typical of him…Lucas was as cruel as ever.It wasn’t enough for him to keep entangling her-now he wasdragging Selena into it, making her relationship with Aaron more complicated by the day.
