Earlier in the car.
Selena's sweet giggle filled the police car when Barney forgot the line of the song playing on the radio, the street was empty giving them a chance to drive faster than they were allowed too.
"Barney, are you not afraid that you might get a ticket?" She said as her laugh ended.
Barney clicked his tongue confidently, "I am police, all I need is to," he paused, pressed a button and suddenly the wheeling sound of the police car echoed in the street, "put this alarm and poof! Everyone would think that we are chasing a criminal."
Selena pouted a bit, suddenly thought of Killian's job, "but we are going to a thief house," she groaned, never once she thought of Killian's job but right now, her heart pulsated just by thinking of him.
What would their future be?
Is he planning to find a normal job?
She shook her head; she didn't want to think so much about it. She's certain that Killian will change his job soon.
(!) She and Killian had never talked about it, aside from the ring he gave he didn't say anything more.
Her deep thought was disturbed when she heard Barney singing again.
"If I could fall, into the sky, do you think na... na… na…"
Selena exploded, Barney has been singing the song but, he couldn't remember the other lyrics and hearing his voice has caused her to laugh even more.
"Stop it, Barney," she said, wiping her tears away.
"what's wrong? I am just singing. Is it a crime?" he said, switching his eyes between the road and to her.
"No," she replied.
When they arrive at the house, Barney just dropped her at the gate and left. She was picked up by the guard who accompanied her to the dining area.
But before they could reach it, Selena froze when she heard Alejandro's voice.
Her hands trembling like a leaf reached for the arm next to her, it was the guard, she needed help or else she would fall down.
"Ms-" the guard tried to speak but Selena shook her head, and asked him to shut up.
She heard it one after another, how the brothers and their parents tried to manipulate her.
She sniffed silently; a hot liquid started to form in her eyes but she fought it back.
She felt thousands of knives stabbing her heart, piercing them into pieces, giving her an unexplainable pain but, Selena disregarded it.
She will not cry.
She will never cry
Not in this house
Not in front of a stranger.
She took in a deep breath, realizing that the scene has ended.
She walked with her trembling legs, plastered a cold face even though she felt her body burning with pain and anger.
As she reached and saw the people in the dining, she gulped hard.
There was a feast on the table, enough to feed a whole orphanage, and this family did it to impress her.
For what?
Because she's a Su?
Killian's parents - who tried to tangle their names to her for power?
And she became the casualty between the brother's fight.
They both used her for their own selfish reason
She should have seen it coming, it was too good to be true to have two brothers showered her with love.
Her body quivered by the thought, her tears were begging to escape but she won't let them out.
(I will not cry) she firmly said to herself, pressing her lips together.
Slowly, her trembling hand removed the ring she put on her finger earlier and before Killian could finish his sentence, she threw the ring to him.
"Don't worry, I won't marry you either" as she said these words in a cold and flat voice, Selena turned to leave.
Her eyebrows waggling with confusion and pain, her heart bursting with emotion, she wanted to cry, take it all out. In her mind, a laugh sounded in mockery, she even put the ring today for him and yet, he didn't have a plan to marry her from the beginning.
She could hear Killian's voice calling her name, his footsteps running towards her echoed in the quiet living room.
She halted and stood near the door; her body turned to face Killian.
She pasted an emotionless face, she won't cry in front of him, she won't even show any emotion to him.
"You said you won't lie to me, right?" her deep voice sounded around.
"Yes," he replied, it was almost a murmur.
"Did you really stay around me to get back on your brother?"
Killian went silent, lips pursed together were refusing to answer her question.
"ANSWER ME!" she yelled; her eyes that were once filled with love was now replaced with bitterness and hate.
"At first but-" he paused when Selena lifted a hand gesturing him to stop.
"Did you slept with me to-" she felt a lump in her throat, enabling her to continue.
She suddenly felt a person filled with a bitterness she can't control.
She took in a deep breath, filling her empty lung with air, "to get revenge?"
"No."
She scoffed; eyes squinted "you are lying"
"I told you I will never to you," she could hear the regret as he said those but it didn't help to ease her pain, instead it ignited
"You didn't even tell me that you had a kid and don't even try to make an excuse Killian," she took in a deep breath and let the air out of her mouth in a shaky way, "You kept avoiding my question when it comes to your brother and I think," she shut her eyes for a moment, savoring the pain she got from being played, "You hid it on purpose and you know what, that's even worse Killian, because it's just same as lying," she bit her lips so hard, hoping that the pain in her heart would exceed it but no matter how hard she bit her lips, the pain inside of her was stronger.
"Is it really true?" her voice broke up a bit, "did you really use me for your petty revenge?"
Killian went silent again and seeing the guilt shining in his eyes like fake stars in the gloomy night sky, Selena shut her eyes.
"I got my answer," her voice came high pitch cold, she paused as she plastered a fake smile, "please don't follow me. I don't want to see your face."
She turned around; her mind has decided to not listen to any of his explanations.
"Please Selena, give me a chance to explain."
She just can't take it anymore, no matter what Killian will say, whether it's the truth or lie, she just won't believe it.
She turned, face remained cold, "you should have known my answer before asking me that," she smiled bitterly, "the bastard you called earlier asked me the same question before and I will give you the same answer Killian," she paused, took a deep breath and firmly replied, "It's a No."
"And please," she blinked to fight back her tears, "don't call someone a bastard again, it was never his or my fault to be born that way."
Saying those words, she finally left and closed the door behind her.
Her feet found the gate and from there she left their house, heart, and mind broken.
She knows that she will get hurt, either by staying or by leaving him, their relationship was too complicated that she doesn't even know if they were even official.
All Killian had done was to utter sweet words, telling her that he would protect her, but does she really need his protection? She asked herself.
No, her family is capable to hire thousands of guards if she wants too.
She walked with big steps on the empty street. Despite the dim light emitting from the post on the side road, Selena's sight was shaded with tears. Out of nowhere, she felt her stomach grumbling, her hand held it as she let out a sigh, "Don't worry baby, we don't need your asshole father."
