Chapter 044

Selene

Azriel's meeting had to be over by now, though, he still wasn't here. I waited in his office, in his massive chair rolling it around with my feet.

The door slammed open, making me jolt. Before I could even process, he started speaking hurriedly, "Hurry! We have to get out of here!"

"What?" I said as I got up and rushed to him.

"It's that fucker, he's trying to crash my company down." He held my hand, securing me.

"But the people here?" I asked, confused.

"I've fainted them-" His sentence was interrupted by a handsome man in front of him.

"Hi, Selene." He smirked at me, and I grimaced. It felt like I knew him but I couldn't point my finger on it. His jaw was sharp, his eyes were just like Azriel's, amber but more darker that it almost seemed brown, dark, creepy aura leaked his body.
