"Think of it however you like." Michelle took another step towards Selene, shortening the distance between them, and thetter didn’t bother to move back. "What I ask of you is very simple. Just leave and nevere back."
"Because I’m a threat to you, isn’t that it? Well, I don’t me you at all. But you might be forgetting about something. You have no right to tell me what to do, Michelle," Selene stated. "I’m not going to leave the entertainment industry because of you. If you feel threatened I will take other things from you..." Selene took a step towards Michelle, making the distance even shorter. "Then I advise you to hold on to the little you have before I strike again," she whispered in her ears, leaning away.
Selene had already gotten her properties back, but she didn’t want to reveal her true identity. Her main goal had been to get back properties and kick the Harrison family out of her mansion andpany, but she felt that would be too small for them to bear.
They had killed her child without remorse. Each day, she would still wonder if they hadn’t killed her child, would she have been a good mother even though she never had one.
But no. They killed her baby and nned to kill her too. Kicking them out would just be an effortless punishment for them. She wanted to do worse, which was to break the family ties they had with each other before sending the bigger blow.
"You have no right," Michelle spat out.
"I never asked for one."
Selene smiled at her and turned to leave but she halted.
"How’s your father? I hope he’s recovering?" She asked. "You’d better advise your mum to keep him under control, because next time, he won’t just be getting kicked," she warned before she entered her car.
Martha and Liam didn’t hear their conversation, but since Selene entered her car unscathed, they had no reason to be there anymore. Both Selene and their car zoomed off, leaving Michelle only with her car and driver. She clenched her fist with gritted teeth before entering her car.
Ito drove Selene to the mansion, where Xavier was waiting for her. Kace hadn’t been aroundtely due to a mission Xavier had sent him on so that he would have the time to teach her some basic self defense.
Selene got ready, wearing sweatpants and a baggy top. She needed to befortable in what was toe since Xavier didn’t give her a hint of what they would be doing together.
Selene walked to the back of the mansion. She didn’t know if she should call it the back any more; it looked more like a training ground.
She had only asked Xavier to teach her some basic self-defense techniques, but throwing dummies and punching bags wasn’t something she was expecting at all. She noticed the dumbbells that were ced by the side and then some knives ced aside.
She frowned slightly, a mixture of excitement and nervousness etched on her expression.
"What do you think?" Xavier asked her, cing a punching bag by the corner.
"Xavier, I thought you were only going to teach me things like where to press on someone’s neck to make them sleep, or how to twist someone’s fingers," she said, walking towards him as she continued to scan around.
"You will be learning a lot of those too. You won’t be starting with these for now, I was just getting them ready," he replied.
He couldn’t wait to teach Selene how to fight even though she had refused to tell him what had happened in Robert’s office the other day.
"Ahh... I see. So, which one are you going to teach me now?" Selene asked with curiosityced in her tone.
Her hands were itching to hit something, even though she doubted she could do any damage due to how frail her hands were.
Xavier stared at her figure. Her body was swallowed in the soft fabric of her clothes, but he knew how slim she was under it. He couldn’t have her defending his attacks without her producing enough muscles first.
"You are going to start by lifting weights," he said, walking towards the dumbbells.
"Wait.... As in to work out? I can’t work out."
"Sure, you can," Xavier persuaded, handing her the dumbbells that weigh 5 pounds each, nearly making her drop them. "You can do this!"
