Chapter 1263 A Dull Ache in His Heart He suddenly recalled the quiet moments they'd shared in this study the room filled with nothing but the soft clicking of keyboards.

During meetings, he would turn to glance at her, finding her with her chin propped on one hand, gazing intently at documents with that serene, obedient expression.

His heart felt scalded, his fist clenching involuntarily.

The morning's events had been absurd. Since waking, he'd spent the entire afternoon maintaining a facade of composure.

Having already been treated as a replacement, he refused to appear any more pathetic. Now, in the stillness of night, looking at everything before him, his heart ached dully.

He slowly sank into her chair and rested his head on the desk.

Her chair differed from his-slightly smaller.

Though composed in nature, she had a fondness for cute, girlish things, which explained the pink cushion on his chair.

She had selected it online herself. Raymond, concerned about delivery delays, had sent John to purchase it from a department store. Within an hour, it appeared before her.

She used it that very evening, praising its softness and asking if he wanted one too. As if he would ever want something so pink.

Raymond lay with his head on the desk, his breathing growing heavy. Soon, his shoulders began to tremble slightly.

Outside in the hallway, the staff busied themselves discarding her belongings.

Selena curled up on the sofa by the window, which stood partially open.

To prevent her escape, Mahad ordered several steel bars installed across the opening.

Though she could feel the night breeze, she could only extend one hand through the gap.

The wind caressed her cheek as pain made her forehead glisten with sweat.

Her throat burned fiercely, as if something were scorching it from within.

She had heard Lawrence and Christopher's alter ego speaking-Lawrence intended to render her mute.

The pain made eating impossible; she could only drink water.

She struggled to her feet, extending her hand through the window to feel the coolness outside, which somewhat dispersed the feverish heat consuming her.

Still, the pain persisted, making her body quiver.

At that moment, a fragmented voice cthrough her earpiece, "Christopher's alter ego is preparing for your engagement. It's tentatively scheduled for next month. You have no option to refuse." Selena pressed her forehead against the steel bars, as if seeking clarity.

The voice continued, "Once you obediently complete the engagement, I'll take you to Vistalia." Only with this engagement would her ties to Raymond be completely severed. Selena's eyes reddened. She wanted to protest, but her throat produced no sound. She could only pound the wall repeatedly with her palm.

The person on the other end of the earpiece heard the noise, aware her hand must be reddening as she struck the wall almost desperately.

"Do you want Christopher's alter ego to handcuff you? Unlike Christopher, he embodies a man's darkest m aspects and is more ruthless than is and is! anyone. You've cost him his CEO position, and he's already furious. If he hears any noise, you'll likely lose even the privilege of feeling the breeze by the window. Selena, why can't you learn to obey?" Selena's nose stung as tears began to flow.

Why was she enduring all this? Why couldn't love simply be enough?

"Selena, remember that jellyfish seal you received in Ridgefield? When Barbara left, she didn't have tto Butyou reveal the complete truth. But you must have sensed the seal was extraordinary. BK, as the premier organization and a family that has remained hidden from the world-you were chosen by the previous leader, your adoptive mother, Barbara." Selena gripped the steel bars tightly, her body frozen.

The man continued, "It's a world completely unknown to you. Before entering it, you must abandon re, anger delusion? everything-desire, Barbara didn't die; she disappeared.

You were too young then to be involved in such matters. She raised you from childhood as her successor, cultivating your resilient character. Those who emerge from suffering can sometimes be more resolute than others." Selena opened her mouth, countless questions on her mind, but fell silent at the mention of Barbara.

She had always said Barbara was the kindest person she'd known, teaching her so much.

But Barbara had died, leaving only a solitary grave.

Now this Mr. K was telling her Barbara was still alive?
