Chapter 333 “What?

Selene’s brows furrowed as the shot him a gare her voice laced with frustration “Do you have even a stved of shame? Even now, you’re still Nying Kane wanted to get up, to move toward her and explain that he had no idea what she was talking about. But the second he shifted, the instinctively stepped back, widening the distance between them.

So he stayed where he was, exhaling slowly before speaking “I’m not lying. My secretary never informed me that anyone called-

He hesitated as a memory surfaced. His former personal secretary–the one Ruby had handpicked for him. At the time, Ruby had insisted she didn’t trust women and had chosen the secretary herself Selene watched him closely, her sharp gaze scanning his face as she waited for his response * understand now,” he admitted.

She let out a dry, bitter laugh. “I knew it. You really are a liar.”

“It wasn’t your family’s call specifically. But I think I know what happened. Maybe your father did try to contact me, but my secretary blocked him. She was close to Ruby... It’s possible she did it on purpose.”

Selene stiffened, startled by the revelation. How many more things had Ruby manipulated behind the scenes? If Ruby had been just an ordinary woman with no powerful connections, Selene might have dismissed it. But she wasn’t–she was the biological daughter of the former Gamma. With Curtis’s influence backing her, nothing was out of reach for her.

“If I had gotten that call, I would’ve come for you. I would’ve brought you back,” Kane continued, his voice steady but filled with regret. “After the divorce, I searched for you everywhere. But because of how well your family concealed your identity, I couldn’t find you. They kept you completely hidden from me.”

Selene’s jaw tightened. “Why were you looking for me after the divorce? Didn’t you want me gone?”

He dropped his gaze, his tone quieter. “I thought I did. But after you left, I realized... my anger blinded me. That night–I got everything wrong. I don’t know how to make you believe me, but we were both set up by your adoptive parents. It was all planned.”

She didn’t blink, didn’t waver, just stared at him with unreadable eyes. His words didn’t soften her heart, but the vulnerability in his expression unsettled her. He looked... broken.

“I can’t forgive you,” she muttered, turning away. “I don’t care who was behind it all–I just can’t.”

Kane lifted his head, watching her retreat. “Selene.”

She closed her eyes, inhaling deeply.

“I’ve told you before–it’s better if we just forget the past. I’ve been saying this for a long time now: either let it go or learn to live with it. That choice is yours.”

Behind her, she heard the quiet shuffle of movement as Kane slowly stood.

“No matter what, Kane, you will never truly understand what I’ve been through His expression darkened, and he took a step closer. “The tell me how I can.”

She stopped him before he could close the distance, pressing her paim against his chest, right over his heart Her gaze was piercing, searching, but his was different–soft, desperate, pleading.

Selene let out a short, humorless chuckle. “You really want to know what my pain feels like?”

“Yes,” he whispered, his restraint unraveling in her presence The space between them felt unbearably small, charged with something raw and unspoken. His heartbeat pounded beneath her palm, and he knew that if he walked away now, she would slip through his fingers for good.

“Then love someone,” she said, her voice steady but laced with emotion. “Love them so deeply, reckle ssly, and completely that you can’t picture your life without them.”

His breath hitched at her words. Their eyes locked, and in a voice barely above a whisper, he admitted, “I already do.”

Selene didn’t look away, didn’t flinch. Instead, she delivered the final blow.

“Then lose her,” she murmured, “and feel what it’s like to be destroyed by love.”
