Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 844 Raymond Was Obviously Doing It on Purpose

But he didn't go all the way with her.

He was just seeing how far he could push her.

Grinding against her, kissing her, holding her tight.

Selena melted into a puddle, too weak to even shove him off.

Her body screamed for more, but he stopped right at the edge, just holding her.

"Selena, let's crash," he said.

After winding her up, he acted like he was the one with no interest.

Selena was still burning up, almost there because of his teasing, but the mood vanished as he dozed off.

It was maddeningly frustrating.

She didn't sleep a wink, and when she got up, she had dark circles under her eyes.

Raymond, on the other hand, slept like a baby and had already snuck back to the master bedroom before she woke up. Selena brushed her teeth, staring at her reflection in the mirror.

It was not just guys who could feel unsatisfied; women could too. She felt a lot of pent-up frustration.

If nights like last night kept happening, she'd lose it sooner or later.

Raymond was definitely doing it on purpose.

She took a deep breath and, when she walked to the window, saw it was open. He must've come in through there last night.

The drop to the ground was pretty high, and thinking about the injury on his back, Selena rubbed her forehead.

Realizing she was letting him get to her, she quickly went back to the bathroom to splash her face with water.

When she went downstairs, she saw Raymond already on the couch, going through some documents.

He looked way more refreshed.

Compared to Selena's tired face, he was practically glowing.

Selena got even more pissed, feeling super frustrated but not knowing how to call him out.

When they sat at the dining table, he pushed a fried egg toward her and said, "Selena, you look rough. You should eat more."

Selena's face darkened. "I'm sealing the window tonight."

The message was clear: he wasn't allowed in her room again.

Raymond's smile faded, and he sighed, looking all regretful.

After breakfast, Selena planned to head to the office.

This time, Raymond didn't stick around Ashbourne Manor either; he had a ton of stuff to deal with.

Just as they were about to part ways in the courtyard, he leaned in close to her ear and said, "Leave the window open tonight. I'll come to kiss you."

And they both knew exactly where he meant.

Selena was fuming, but with Fiona and John around, she couldn't snap back.

Raymond, satisfied, got into his car, shot her a grin, and took off.

Selena stood there, her face stormy.

Fiona noticed something was off and quickly asked, "Ms. Fair, are you feeling unwell?"

If being unsatisfied counted as feeling unwell, then yeah, she was very unwell!

In the car, Raymond quietly looked at the documents in his hand, and John, sitting in the driver's seat, spoke up. "Elbert's been trying to get Grace to give up her shares. Right now, aside from Mr. William Montague and Grace, almost all the shares of the Montague family are in his hands. It seems they're all unhappy with you being in charge."

"I got it." Raymond's tone was super chill, like he didn't care at all.

John added, "Plus, Grace seems to be leaning his way. If her shares go to Elbert, he'll have 30%. Mr. William Montague holds another 15%, and there are 10% in scattered shares. If he can get Mr. William Montague's shares, the CEO spot is his." John didn't know what Raymond thought about the Montague Group, but it was clear Elbert was now a threat to his position.

And now Elbert had placed Harry in the Montague Group, while Raymond was almost fighting solo.

When Raymond went abroad, he had been remotely controlling the Montague Group's business. Upon returning, he took over completely, so it was natural for others to be unhappy.

But back then, Raymond had no flaws. Now, his affair with Selena had become a black mark, giving the Montague clans a legit reason to oppose him. Even William couldn't protect him anymore. After all, the 10% of shares were willingly transferred by him.
