Chapter 434: Questioning
Olivia's POV
She didn’t respond.
Not a word.
I had expected Selene to snap, to shout at me, to cursefor spouting such nonsense. But instead... she just
looked away. Her lips trembled, and her silence gavethe only answer | needed.
My eyes widened, fear rushing throughlike ice.
If she had truly fallen for him... if Selene was in love with Frederick... then she would never have the guts to kill
him.
And the Selene sitting calmly beforewas no longer the swoman | had met days ago. That Selene had
been fierce, heart like stone, her eyes sharp and cold with nothing but revenge. But this one? She looked...
softer. Shaken. Almost fragile.
Different. So very different.
It was strange—how quickly love, or something like it, could change a person.
"This is ridiculous!" | spat, unable to stop myself. "You were supposed to kill him, not fall in love with him!"
My voice cout too loud, echoing through the walls. | quickly clamped my mouth shut, my heart hammering,
my eyes darting toward the door to make sure Frederick wasn’t lurking close enough to overhear.
| drew a shaky breath, lowering my tone, but the anger instill burned. "Do you even realize what you're
doing, Selene? You're ruining everything. The plan. Our chance. Everything we've worked for."
| hated how my voice cracked.
The worst part? | understood.
Frederick was so damn handsome. His silver hair, aura, his sharp beauty, his commanding presence—it was too
easy for anyone to be drawn in. Too easy to imagine yourself falling into his arms, losing yourself in him.
But Selene? The one who had sworn her only purpose in life was revenge? The one who had carried hatred for
him all these years? She was supposed to be the one person immune to his charms.
And now... she looked like she was crumbling.
My frown deepened. "Speak... why aren't you speaking?" | demanded, my patience wearing thin.
Selene’s lips trembled, but no words left her mouth. She just looked away, her eyes darting anywhere but mine.
That was it. | knew | would not get any answers from her.
Fine. If she wouldn't talk, then | would get my answers somewhere else. My chest burning with anger, | stormed
out of the room. My steps were quick and sharp as | went down the hall and straight to Frederick's study.
Without knocking, | shoved the door open and barged in.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThere he was, standing behind the open window, his back turned againstas he glanced outside.
"Are you fucking Selene?" | spat, the words flying out before | could stop them.
He didn’t deny it. He didn’t admit it either. He just continued staring outside the window, his back tensed. And
that silence gavethe answer | needed.
Yes. They had.
| took a step forward, my voice low, trembling with both rage and fear. "Are you in love with her?"
The words hung in the air as | waited for Frederick to say something, but he just stood there with his back to me,
staring out of the window as though the evening sky held more worth than my question.
My chest burned, anger twisting tighter.
| clenched my fists. "Are you in love with her?" | pressed again, my voice breaking at the edges.
Still nothing.
Finally, he turned. He walked calmly to his chair, sat down, and leaned back as if this entire conversation bored
him. His fingers tapped against the armrest once before he finally spoke.
"That is none of your business," he said flatly, his eyes cold when they flicked to me. "What you should be
focusing on is our marriage."
My jaw dropped. "What the hell is wrong with you?" | snapped, my anger exploding before I could hold it back.
"It's obvious you love Selene! Then why won't you just letgo?"
His lips curved into a thin, sad smile. "Because you are the special one, Olivia. Not her." His tone was hard.
"Whatever happened between Selene and | was nothing more than a fling. A mistake, if you will. But | will not
allow a fling to stop what is meant to be—our marriage."
His words stabbed through me, but not with relief. With fire.
My frown deepened, my nails digging into my palms. "You arrogant bastard..." | hissed under my breath. But my
voice cracked off, choked with rage.
| stared at him, my wolf snarling inside me, the fury boiling too hot to swallow. He had just admitted it. Whatever
was between him and Selene—it existed. But he thought he could dismiss it. Sweep it aside. Bindto him
anyway.
The door burst open before either of us could speak again.
Selene stormed inside, her hair wild, her eyes blazing with raw pain. She looked drained, pale, but her anger
burned so hot it filled the room.
"So that’s it?" she spat, her voice shaking. Her gaze locked onto Frederick like knives. "I'm just a fling?"
My brow raised. She was eavesdropping.
Frederick stiffened, his eyes narrowing. "Selene—"

Her chest heaved, tears threatening in her eyes, but she held them back with rage.
"You lied," she hissed. "You toldyou were falling for me. That what was happening between us was real. And

But she bit down hard on her words, her fists trembling at her sides.
Frederick’s jaw clenched, his eyes darkening as he took a step toward her. "Selene—"
"I don’t want to hear it!" she snapped, her voice breaking as her wolf's growl laced through it. "You used me. And
| let you. But never again."
Before either of us could react, she spun on her heel and stormed out of the room.
The silence she left behind was suffocating.

"Selene!" his voice roared down the hall, echoing through the manor.
And just like that, the door slammed shut behind them, leavingstanding there, my heart racing, my wolf
restless, and my mind spinning with one truth I couldn't ignore.
Something between them was real...
