[ Selena's point of view ]

"Breaking news: a man's head was spotted again near the head quarters of the police, they suspect that the number 1 serial killer Kalix is ​​the perpetrator of the crime again" I ignored the s

"It's really scary to come out now, why hasn't that Kalix been caught yet, he has already killed so many innocent people."

"Yes, of course it's still alive but its soul is being burned in hell." whispered our housemates at home.

I can't blame them why they talk like that to that Criminal because it is true that he has killed so many people.

I don't know why there are people who can kill their fellow human beings. They won't get anything if they do that and they don't have the right to take someone else's life because it's not theirs

"Perfect." I whispered as I looked at the cute cupcakes I made. I am currently in college and in a culinary course.

I like to cook and bake, I plan to build my own restaurant when I graduate.

"Señorita Selena, your parents are already in the dining area and Señorito Kairos's family is with them." I smiled at Naya Isa and signaled that I would follow.

I immediately removed the apron I was wearing and fixed my hair before leaving our kitchen. "Mom." I quickly approached Mommy and Daddy before kissing them at the same time, as well as my two children

I sat next to Kairos who was smiling at me. "What's wrong, why are you here?" He shrugged and whispered back "I don't know, they just said they had something important to say to us" Tang nodded

He's Kairos Montez and he's my childhood best friend. Like me, his family also comes from politics because his father is currently a senator here in our area.

"Selena iha, your birthday is just a week away. It means that you are at the right age to get married, that's why we thought of telling everyone that you are engaged, Kairos, at the time of your birthday.

I looked at Kairos but his head was bowed but under the table you could see his clenched fist which secretly hurt my heart.

To be honest I love him and I'm happy that we are getting married. But I can't ruin his happines, I know I don't have a chance in his heart because he already have a girlfriend.

He already have Athena in his life.

I smiled like Mommy and tried to cover my feelings "But Mom, is that really necessary?

"We know that iha but it's better if our family comes together, each one's power will be stronger and the chance of us becoming a victim of a serial killer in this country will be smaller." a long line.

Most of the politicians who are very rich and powerful still have no escape from that man. Not everyone knows how he manages to kill powerful people sitting down.

And it is not far that even my Daddy who is the governor will not be targeted by him. I'm honestly scared for him but I know Dad is a good person so there's no reason to target him.

Kairos and I were quiet while we were here in the garden of our house. He bowed while I just stared at him sadly.

"Why don't you try to object? I know you love Athena that's why you fight for her." I told her.

He looked sadly into my eyes "Selena you know I can't do that right? In the first place I made a mistake because I choose to love her. Our family is against us."

It's sad. It's like they're Romeo and Juliet. Montez and Montefiore are bitter enemies and Kairos and I don't know the reason.

"So what do you do? Will you just agree to marry me? Won't you even fight for the girl you love?" even though it hurts to say it because I love her but I can't bear to see her

I love him but I will still choose what is best for him. If he'll be happier with Athena then it's fine with me. I'll just always be here for him if he needs me.

"Should I fight for her or maybe I should accept now that we can't be together? I love my family Selena and I can't turn my back on them. But I will ask you, do you want to marry me?" He gave me a withering look and I didn't seem to know what to say.

Am I going to admit it? Should I say that I've loved him for a long time and I'm ready to marry him even if he doesn't love me?

I was about to open my mouth to tell him my answer when we looked at brother Clyde who was the one who teased to come to us.

"opss, it's already late. Your family has left so I think you need to leave." he gave Kairos a mocking look causing him to look back at me and smile.

"I'll go now Selena, goodnight." I just smiled at him before nodding. After Kairos left, I looked at Kuya annoyed.

"Why did you talk to him like that?" he laughed and raised his hand.

"What didn't I say wrong? I just sent him home." I immediately hit him on the arm "No you're provoking him! Why do you and brother Clyde seem to be angry with him when he does nothing?

I was stunned when my brother looked at me seriously, he held my head before kissing my forehead.

"Princess we're just protecting you, you're the only girl in our family. And Kairos I don't trust him because that stupid friend of yours is a freaking playboy. I'm worried na maybe you are his next target."

Continulation Of The beginning

Ever since I introduced Kairos to them when I was a child, I've really noticed that my two older brothers don't like him even though Mom and Dad voted for him.

They always say that Haru is a womanizer but I have never seen him like that because apart from me he is always with Athena.

"He's not like that kuya, he truly loves Athena and I know he will never cheat on her."

He didn't answer and just sighed. "If you say so." he just mumbled before taking me to my room.

After arriving there, I immediately went to bed while thinking about Kairos and our upcoming wedding.

"Gosh Selena! I'm really excited for your birthday. It's guaranteed to be very grand! Look at the invitation, it's so beautiful." I smiled at Aliyah.

One of my friends "Actually I just want a simple celebration but dad refuses it, he says he wants the best for me." I was smiling and seemed happy.

All my life I didn't know who was the real me. My circle of friends? I know they just befriended me because of my father.

I was just walking with my circle of friends when Athena suddenly stopped in front of meHe frowned as his eyes stared at me angrily "You know what? I should have followed my instinct to flirt with you." I can't help but feel sorry .

"Hey Athena, are you trying to start a fight?" Aliyah asked him bluntly, which he struggled with.

"Yes I'm starting a fight because this b*tch are stealing my boyfriend." I couldn't help but be surprised when he slapped me hard in the face.

He slapped me on my cheek and looked at him again. Even though I was angry, I noticed the pain and sadness in his eyes.

"I-I don't know what you're talking about." I said. Is it possible that Kairos told him about our engagement that's why he's treating me like this now?

"Oh c'mon, don't act like you're innocent you little b*tch! I thought you only thought of him as a friend, that's why you're taking him away from me." He quickly pulled my hair causing me to cry.

I saw Aliyah take their cell phone before taking a video of Athena teasing me.

How dare them!? Instead of helping me and weaning Athena, they chose to stand aside and take a video of us!?

I tightly held Athena's hand that was in my hair while trying to remove it because what she was doing was so painful. I feel like I'm going bald.

I didn't retaliate because I didn't want to increase my guilt towards him. I know he's only doing this because he thinks I'm taking Kairos away from him and ruining their relationship

I truly love Kairos but that will not reach the point where I will destroy them for my feelings.

"Athena stop!" I heard Kairos shout. He quickly separated Athena and me.

He hugged me while his friends held Athena who was struggling.

"Are you ok?" Kairos asked worriedly. I tearfully nodded while fixing my hair.

"Don't touch me you disgusting idiot!" Athena yelled angrily at Kairos' friend. My friend looked at him annoyed.

"Athena can you please stop!? I already told you that don't hurt Selena but you didn't listen!" Many students are looking at us, so I am ashamed of what is happening now, especially since I know it will spread because of those who videoed what is happening.

"I'm just giving her a lesson. Why are you on his side? Don't tell me you like her?" he pointed at me which is why I couldn't help but bow down but Kairos grabbed my chin before making me look at him.

"Yes I like her and from now on I'm officially breaking up with you. I can't stand your behavior anymore." I seemed to stiffen because of what I heard, especially since Kairos' eyes were staring at my face.

W-what? Will he like me?

",W-what are you saying?" I stuttered as he smiled "I said I like you Selena." My heart beat faster and his hug tightened.

We only looked away from each other when we heard the students gasp after hearing what Kairos said to me.

We both looked at Athena and she couldn't believe we were both staring.

,After that, his face lost all emotion "I can't believe that you choose that b*tch over me." he quickly removed Kairos' friends' hands from him before slowly approaching us

"I'll make sure that both of you will regret this. You messed a Montefiore big time." Kairos and I couldn't help but be stunned after he said that.

She immediately left as if she were the queen.

Montefiore, the most feared family that even my family cannot collide with.
