Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 747 Here I C"How she deals with her feelings ain't my problem anymore," Raymond shot back.

He snapped his laptop shut and checked the time; it was already bedtime.

But tonight, something felt off. He took a shower and hit the sack, but sleep just wouldn't come.

He grabbed a book, but couldn't focus on a single word.

By one in the morning, he got dressed and headed out.

This time, he drove himself to the Rose Garden.

A few lights were still on in the Rose Garden. He cracked the car window and lit up a cigarette, puffing away absentmindedly. Halfway through, he pulled out his phone and called Selena.

No answer.

He leaned back, staring blankly ahead, wondering why the hell he drove here in the middle of the night. Raymond chuckled to himself, feeling like an idiot, and started driving back.

On the way, he passed the Fair family's company, but he paid so little attention to them that he didn't even realize it was their building.

A woman was on the phone at the company entrance, looking super stressed.

The woman on the phone was Ann. She'd been trying to reach Selena all day. S.M Corporation's series had passed the review, and the viewership on its first day had broken records. She should've been sharing this good news with Selena. But since the afternoon, she'd called Selena more than ten times, and no one picked up.

Just a few hours ago, Selena had been anxiously waiting for the results with her.

Ann stood by the roadside trying to hail a cab, and then she spotted a luxury car parked nearby, with Raymond's profile visible through the open window.

She instantly felt a bit nervous.

She knew Raymond and had heard his nseveral times from Selena.

Selena and Raymond had been engaged, although they were now divorced.

"Mr. Montague," she called out politely.

Raymond's hand was on the steering wheel. Hearing the voice, he turned to look at her.

Ann swallowed hard. "I've called Ms. Fair several times today, but no one answered. I'm worried something might've happened to her." "Ms. Fair?" "Yes, Selena Fair, Mr. Montague. She is also your... your ex-wife." Ann had no other choice but to seek Raymond's help.

Raymond frowned, a look of disgust flashing in his eyes. Why did people always bring up Selena in front of him? "Ms. Fair has never been out of touch like this before, and today is a critical tfor us. Mr. Montague, could you..." But before Ann could finish, Raymond had already stepped on the gas.

Ann wasn't afraid of embarrassment; she was genuinely worried about Selena's safety.

"Mr. Montague!" she called out, clinging to the car window awkwardly. "I heard from Ms. Fair that you two had a good relationship. If something really happened to her, wouldn't you be worried?" Raymond's face turned stormy. A good relationship? He and Selena never had a good relationship.

"Let go," Raymond said icily.

Ann, still scared of him, reluctantly let go.

Raymond floored it, cursing his luck. He shouldn't have gone out in the middle of the night.

Selena, with a parched throat, curled up in the pitch-black room. Sometimes a cold snake slithered around her ankle, and sometimes a centipede crawled on the back of her hand.

She was on the brink of losing it, curling up and desperately trying not to think about these creepy crawlies. She had no clue how much thad passed; she even started hallucinating.

She was freezing and starving, and fear quickly took over.

She began banging her head against the wall, making a loud noise.

The guards outside heard the noise and checked the time. It had been several hours, and Selena was indeed starting to break down.

At ten in the morning, the weather outside cleared up, and the sound of her banging against the wall inside beceven clearer.

It had been going on for hours.

Selena couldn't feel the pain. Whether her eyes were open or closed made no difference; it was all darkness.

The guards outside were already tired, yawning and joking, "I bet she'll go nuts in another three hours) Mrs. Montague said to send her straight to a mental hospital then. You keep an eye on her for a bit; I'm gonna take a nap. I've been up all night, and I'm beat." With that, one of the men left.

The remaining guy looked around.

He thought, there were no cameras in this room. Since they were gonnan send Selena to emmental hospital anyway, why not have a little fun first? A grin spread across his face. Just thinking about Selena's face got him excited.

This was Raymond's ex-wife. If he could get with her, people would envy him for days when he bragged about it.

Just as he was about to open the door, footsteps sounded behind him. It was Catherine.

Catherine seemed to read his mind and raised an eyebrow slightly. "You wanna have a go with her?" "Mrs. Montague, I wouldn't dare. I... I just..."

"If you want to, go ahead. Just remember to bring others with you.

e After you're done, lock her back in for a couple of days. Then send her straight to the mental hospital." The man's eyes lit up and he quickly replied, "Okay, okay." Catherine sneered, thinking that once Selena was gang-raped, no one would ever want her again.

After Catherine left, the man immediately opened the door.

The room was brightly lit, but Selena couldn't adjust, and her eyes teared up from the brightness.

The man looked at the snakes and centipedes crawling around and felt a chill down his spine. Selena hadn't made a sound.

The man walked toward Selena. "Hey, beautiful, here I come."
