Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan) novel Chapter 414

Before Selene could react, Damien was already standing inside the bathroom.

She slowly got up, but suddenly remembered she was still taking a bath. She took a deep breath and regained her composure.

"Get out," she said.

Damien took out a key and spun it in his palm. "You haven't been home for a while, and I made a copy of the key to your bedroom, so locking it from the inside doesn't work on me."

He threw the key onto the floor underneath the sink, walked to the bathtub, and kneeled beside it.

As Selene was about to say something, she heard footsteps outside, quickly followed by Sophia's voice.

"Selene, I've brought you a glass of warm milk. Once you're done with your bath, remember to drink it before you sleep."

Selene's mouth was being covered by Damien, and she glared at him.

He moved closer and nibbled her collarbone, licking the droplets of water dry. "I'm going to let you go, and I don't care if you scream. I'm not afraid anyway."

He was never afraid of anyone in the Jensen family.

Selene furiously lifted her hand and swung a slap at him, but her wrist was caught mid-air.

Damien bit her fingertips, one after another. "I actually don't mind being slapped by you, but you've always gone easy on me. If Mom and Dad ask about the marks on my face tomorrow morning, it will be hard for me to explain."

"You—"

The next second, her entire body was being dragged forward, causing a loud splash in the bathroom.

Sophia immediately put down the glass of milk, and she sounded confused. "What happened? Did you fall?"

Selene quickly calmed down and responded in her usual voice, "No, Mom. I'm facing my face."

Sophia looked around the room and sighed. "I'll wait for you to come out. I need to tell you something."

Selene was about to ask what it was about when suddenly she was being carried and put onto the countertop.

She was afraid that the sound of him thrusting her would draw attention from outside. She quickly tried to negotiate with him in a hushed voice. "Damien—I mean Dami…"

But as her words fell, she felt like tearing up. As she turned her head away, tears started streaming down her face.

Damien stopped moving and grabbed her chin with one hand, forcing her to look at him.

He knew she was afraid now.

Selene had always cared a lot about her reputation since she was young. She strove to be in first place in everything academically and enjoyed being liked by her classmates. It was as if she had to prove to everyone that she was outstanding and that the Jensens should be proud of her, even though she was their adopted daughter.

He held back his movement, his voice turning hoarse. "Get her out of here. Let me play with you tonight, or you can keep her waiting while I'm doing it with you right here."

He no longer believed a single word Selene said. She had thought out all of her escape plans, even thinking of running away to another country.

She could only dream if she thought he would let her go.
