Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 1272 Behind the Act

Selena remained motionless, as if frozen in place. As the man approached, Raymond's distinctive scent grew stronger.

She opened her mouth, then slowly closed it again, pushing him away.

This couldn't be Raymond, she thought. Someone must be impersonating him.

But in the next moment, the man pulled her into a fierce embrace.

Selena stiffened, then began struggling, pounding her fists against his back.

She could only manage faint cries, her hands frantically striking his back.

Raymond heard her attempts at speech and froze, his eyes widening in disbelief.

The pain in his heart was indescribable-like his soul had been ripped away, his body cut to pieces and crudely reassembled.

His hands gripped her shoulders tightly. "What happened to your voice?" he asked hoarsely.

In his shock and distress, he forgot to disguise his voice.

Selena stiffened, thinking she must be hallucinating.

Her eyes widened, and she lowered her head, trying to cover her eyes.

Raymond grabbed her hands firmly, his eyes red with fury. "What happened to your eyes? And your voice? Tell me who did this."
