Chapter 25

Namjoon

Seleno turned to look at me not showing any expressions.

'So, you know about everything, keeping tabs on me Mr. Park?' she said looking into my eyes.

'What else do you know? And why do you still want to marry me?' she asked.

'Well, I would rather say I like being updated about the current affairs in the industry and your news has been one hot topic. Also, I'm aware you are having a hard time finding a lawyer to defend you against the lawsuit.'

And why I want to marry you... because you fit my description of a life partner, Beautiful, Intelligent, Confident, loving, caring, and successful. And as we work in the same industry, we will be able to understand and cooperate with each other's work schedules.

'As you will help me with my plan by marrying me, I can help you deal with your plans and lawsuit.' I told her.

'I didn't agree to your proposal yet' she spoke.

I walked up to her, placed a hand on her back, and pulled her closer to me, 'You will.' I tell her.

Her breath hitched and I pulled her for a slow dance when the music started.

She was a little hesitant at first but soon followed my rhythm.

'So, is it yes?' I asked.

She looked at me and tried taking a step back but I pulled her closer and whispered in her ear, 'Answer me, love.'

Our eyes met but the trance broke when our phones rang at the same time.

We both looked at our phones and answered them.

Selena

'Okay.' I said and hung up.

This is not right!!!

I turned to tell Namjoon that I have to leave but to my surprise, I guess I saw him smiling, the kind of evil smile while he was looking at me.

And I instantly had my guard up against him!!! I had a feeling that things are going to mess up a lot more than they are right now.

'I'm leaving.' I told him and started walking towards the exit but he pulled me back and crashed his lips on mine.

He… He Kissed me…... this cheeky bastard!!!!

His lips are soft against mine and his kiss isn't aggressive but more authoritative... like he's trying to mark me with his kiss… I didn't kiss him back because I'm still trying to process what is happening but … he knows what he is doing! This cheeky bastard.

I opened my eyes embarrassed realizing I closed my eyes when this charming bastard kissed me just now.

'Goodbye, Sunshine.' He said brushing his thumb at my lower lip.

'You... How dare you?'

'We are getting married soon Sunshine, why can't I dare?' he spoke nonchalantly as if he didn't just kiss me without my consent.

'I didn't agree to your proposal.'

He just smiled and started walking towards the exit holding my hand.

'Where are you taking me, I told you I need to leave.'

'Relax love, just dropping you to your car.'

'You don't have to worry about it, Rhys is waiting outside the door for me.'

'How can I not worry about my would-be wife's safety?'

I tried to take my hand back but he tightened his grip on my hand.

When we reached the main door, he paused, looked at me with a tight-lipped smile, and hugged me.

Suddenly the door opened and I heard the shutter sound of the camera clicking and flashing.

'I had no choice.' He whispered in my ear before stepping back.

Selena… Selena, look here, on your right… Selena on your left, I heard voices from the media crowd.

I turned to look at them and saw Rhys standing a little far from me looking all worried.

'Namjoon, what are you doing here with Selena?' asked one of the reporters bringing me back to the moment.
