NovelEnglishREAGAN'S POV.
"What's with the goofy smile on your face?" I ask, blindly strapping on my seatbelt with my gaze focused on Kyle who's behind the steering wheel. That stupid smile crept on his face the moment I stepped into this car. "Nothing." He answers and I know he's lying. I adjust myself on my seat and shoot him a serious look. "Stop playing with me." "Fine." He raises both hands as a sign of surrender. "I'm just happy you didn't take her to your chambers." "My chambers?" I ask, my eyebrows creasing to reflect the confused state of my mind. "What do you mean?" "I'm talking about Selena and the fact that you askedto prepare this apartment for her. I was relieved because at first, I thought you'd take her to your chambers and let her stay there with you." "Take her to my chambers?" The words sound so foreign to me. That thought never crossed my mind even once. Take Selena to live within my chambers? I could never do that! "Would you believeif I told you that thought never crossed my mind? Even for one second?" I asked with furrowed brows.

If I take Selena to my chambers and Ashanti finds out, things will fall apart." "Exactly. That's why I'm happy you didn't do that." He still has that goofy smile on his face. I lean back on my seat and face him fully, my eyes giving him a critical look that bores deep into his soul. There's something he's not telling me.
"TellKyle, why do you hate Selena so much?" "Why do I hate Selena?" The smile on his face has faded. There's confusion written in bold on his forehead as he givesa troubled stare. "Where's that coming from?" "Why don't you wantto take her to my chambers?" "Because I don't like her for you. I don't trust her yet. It has nothing to do withhating her. I don't hate her." "Right. I'm Sorry I went too far with my thoughts." "It's okay. I understand." "We had a very serious conversation a while ago." "I like the sound of that. Did she tell you anything useful?" "She said nothing about her past, we just spoke about ourselves and..." I stop and watch him adjust on his seat so he can facefully.
"And what?" He sounds very impatient. My mind replays the conversation I just had with Selena. I'm still shaken by those two solid questions she askedand the tone with which she spoke. I got a hint of ssense of entitlement in that tone.
She's back and she's back for me.
She definitely wants us to get together again.
"She askedsvery disturbing questions, Kyle." "I'm all ears if you want to share." I take in two sharp breaths before proceeding to tell him all about the conversation I had with Selena there. By the tI'm done, he's frowning like an angry bear and shaking his head disapprovingly. "She wants in again. She definitely wants in and when she finds out about your second mate Ashnati, there will be trouble." "Big trouble." I confirm his words.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"You know you can't keep both girls, right?" "I do not intend to do that!" "So you have to choose and you have to do that quickly!"
"I don't want to make any rash decisions, Kyle. The Moon goddess has a reason for letting something like this happen. I have to figure out that reason before going ahead to make any sort of decision. That's e why we have to start investigating Selena now. You are clean. As far as I know, Ashanti is clean as well. The only person with a shady story here is Selena and that's why we need to get her to talk. Get her to talk. She needs to tell us where has been all these years, who she has been with and what she has been up to. There's a shocking plot twist waiting for us at the end of this tunnel. And it's not a good plo twist, it's gonna be a bad one. I can feel it in my blood!"
"My goodness! Your hatred for Selena runs deep. You detestchem your with every fibre in your body. Don't even try to deny." "I don't trust her. That's all."
"Fine. I promised to give her tto sort her thoughts but it's obvious we don't have the luxury of tright now. We need to iron this problem need to iron out before it swallows us. The next tI chere to see her, I'll ask her to tellwhat I need to know about the happenings in her life for the past five years and from there, we can start our investigation. Happy now?" "I'm elated. Thank you!" He faces forward and ignites the car engine.
Kyle's speculation about a possible soul taking plot twist waiting for us ahead makes my organs shiver in fright.
Could it be that there's more to this situation than what meets the eyes? Are Selena's motives for returning good or bad? X
