Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 770 Like a Sword Through Time

Selena's temper could make folks wanna pull their hair out. Right now, her silence was driving Raymond up the wall.

He flicked his cigarette butt away and grabbed her chin.

Without a second thought, he kissed her. To keep her from fighting back, he clamped his other hand around her neck.

Selena felt like she was gonna pass out. She opened her mouth and bit down on his tongue.

Their mouths were full of blood, but Raymond didn't seem to care and pulled her even closer.

When he realized she was about to black out, he finally let go.

His eyes flashed cold, but there was a tiny bit of softness buried deep down.

"Mr. Montague, I never said I wasn't Selena. You never cared enough to replace out who I really was. You had plenty of chances to dig into my background, but you didn't. So when you said you liked me, I couldn't help but laugh." Selena wiped the blood from her mouth, her voice steady.

Raymond was floored, a mix of anger and sadness washing over him.

From the start, he refused to face his feelings, and now he had no comeback.

Selena's eyes blazed. "And the first time I woke up in your bed, you were on the phone talking about a divorce. If I'd told you I was Selena then, would you have killed me in a rage? I didn't know you well enough to risk it." "Selena! But you can't keep lying!" Raymond yelled.

"Raymond!" Selena had had enough. "We've been married for three years. Everyone knows you have a first love. You've never hidden your disdain for me. How could I dare tell you my identity? Think about how you treated me at first. You've said more than once that you hate the Fair family, that you hate Selena!"

She took a deep breath. "When Olivia was in danger, you saved her and left me to almost die, along with that child."

Her voice cracked.

"I called you, crying and begging you to keep the child, but what did you and Catherine say? Raymond, how do you have the right to be mad at me now? I gave you so many chances to replace out. If you really cared about Penny, you wouldn't just now be figuring out who I am. Did you ever respect me? Even if I wasn't Selena, even if I was just Penny, to you, I was just a woman you could call and dismiss whenever you wanted!"

Mentioning the child made Raymond feel like ice water was running through his veins.

He opened his mouth, his body shaking. Panic hit him like a tidal wave.

He'd been too mad about being lied to, but he hadn't thought about what he'd done to Selena.

Yeah, he chose to save Olivia and left her there.

His mom had mentioned the child a few times, but he didn't care.

Now, those memories felt like daggers stabbing him through time.

His fingers shook from the pain, and he had to take deep breaths to keep it together.

How could Penny be Selena?

Why did it have to be Selena?

Then who was the Selena he thought he knew, the weak woman who had come knocking on his door?

"Raymond, I went through so much crap because of you. I just wanted to live our own lives after the divorce, so you didn't need to know who I was," Selena said.

"Penny." His tone softened, gently tugging at her sleeve.

But when he saw two guys walking out of the hotel, he yanked her back, demanding, "Separate lives? And then you go mess around with so many men! Did I ever say anything?" He remembered that the first time they had sex, it wasn't her first time.
