Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 506 A Heart in the Grip of Fear

Upon receiving the message, Selena was momentarily paralyzed. Her instincts screamed at her not to go, yet a part of her yearned to fulfill the tenfold obligation and settle the score between them. This would allow her to concentrate on running the Fair family business and making prudent investments with her modest savings. After the divorce, she would have a safety net.

However, Raymond's raw intensity filled her with trepidation. His ability to stir the pot could leave her feeling utterly disoriented. But, feeling cornered and without any other options, she drove to the hotel.

As she entered the lobby, she encountered John on the ground floor. Upon seeing her, he offered a gentle warning, "Miss Selena, Mr. Montague is rather tense this evening. It might be wise to tread lightly."

Upon hearing of Raymond's unsettled state, Selena was hesitant to proceed. When Raymond was angry, he would shed his refined exterior and unleash a ferocious intensity that could drive anyone to the brink of madness. She wavered, but John's warning nudged her forward, "If you don't go up now, Miss Selena, Mr. Montague will come looking for you."

Raymond was a force of nature, unstoppable when he set his mind to something. Selena cast her eyes down and reluctantly stepped into the elevator.

Standing outside Raymond's hotel room, a wave of fear washed over her. Even through the closed door, she felt as though she could sense his menacing aura. She knocked gently, but there was no response from within. With a sense of dread, she slowly pushed the door open.
