It was morning, Selena was quick to wake up today, for some reason Damien's behavior last night had made her realize a lot.
Selena got up from the bed and stretched her legs she walked towards the open patio and reached her head out. The cool morning breeze was good for her, Selena liked the way her hair danced with the wind.
Selena had a good view of the Mansion from here, she could see almost everywhere, a thought crossed Selena's mind and her lips quirked up in a smile.
Selena retreated her steps and went back to her closet, she opened it and then Selected a short and a sports bra. Selena remembered how she would always go out to jog every morning, it was a habit for her back then at the agency. It never really crossed her mind to continue here but since she had the space and everything, Selena thought it would be nice to try it out.
Selena quickly rushed inside the bathroom and she took her bath, she made sure to scrub every inch of her body clean. She didn't get the chance to take her bath yesterday and so the dirt from last night must have stuck to her skin.
Selena quickly wash off and walked out, she dried her body with a towel and then put on a cream coloured robe. Selena had her hair tied up with a towel, she looked at her reflection in the large mirror in her room. Her eyes scanned her whole body to check for scars. Selena had noticed that she had a scar on her palm and then a small cut on her lips.
Selena felt angry when she saw these scars, Selena didn't want to let this all pass like it was nothing. Selena took a mental note to ask Damien about Diana's whereabouts.
Selena quickly dried her hair with the blow dryer, she reached her hand out to loose the knot on the robe but then she paused. Selena walked towards the door and she opened it to check if anyone was coming but the hallway was empty, Selena closed the door and turned the lock before walking back to change.
For some reason Selena didn't want him coming to her room, after what he did last night Selena had this uneasy feeling, she didn't want to label it yet but one thing for sure was that she felt she should keep a distance between the both of them.
Selena quickly changed into her shorts and sport bra, she had bought this at the mall that day, it never occured to her that she would use it here. Selena picked it because of the color, it was a black outfit with small shades of grey. Selena was tired of staring at pink all day, it felt like she was trapped in some cotton candy house.
Selena packed her hair in a ponytail and then she stared at her reflection one last time. Selena searched for her cellphone but she couldn't find it.
'Damn it'
Selena cursed when she remembered that her phone must have been taken along with her last night.
Selena sighed as she put on her sneakers, it won't be fun exercising without a little music. Now she had to jog in Silence for Thirty minutes, Selena could already imagine how boring it would be.
After putting on her sneakers, Selena walked out the door, she looked at the hallway again but still there was no sign of anyone. Selena walked out as she gently climbed down the stairs, she could hear the sound of plates clicking.
Selena paused as she looked down, she could hear the sound of men talking but she couldn't make out exactly what they were saying. Selena leaned on the wall as she listened carefully.
"How is she?"
A voice asked and Selena could tell it was Dylan.
"She's in her room" Damien answered with a neutral expression on his face, he ate his breakfast gracefully as his fingers held on to the cutlery.
"Is she not joining us for breakfast?" Dylan asked as she looked up the stairs before looking back at Damien.
"You should go upstairs and ask her yourself" Damien answered and from the way he talked, Dylan could tell that he was getting tired of answering questions.
"Just a few hours ago you were panicking because she was kidnapped, now she's here, you don't even care to invite her for breakfast" Dylan said out loud, it didn't occur to him that he was voicing out his thoughts. Dylan noticed the cold look he got from Damien but he didn't let that intimidate him.
"Oh she's here" Dylan said as he looked at her figure coming down the stairs. He had his brows raised in question as he looked at her.
"Good morning" Selena said with a smile as she walked straight for the door without saying another word.
"Where are you going?" Dylan asked as he watched her walk towards the door, he noticed that Damien had his eyes fixed on his food the entire time not paying attention to Selena.
"Stop"
Selena paused and swallowed the lump in her throat when she heard him, she was hoping that he was going to just let her leave but of course he would have something to say. Selena wasn't going to play with him today, she was going to be serious and so with a serious express on her face she turned to face him with arms crossed.
"Yes Mr Parker" Selena answered as she looked at him.
"Mr Parker?" Dylan asked as he looked at Selena and then his gaze trailed to Damien. Dylan has suspected that something was wrong with the both of them but he wasn't sure, now seeing them like this was more than enough proof.
"Where are you going?" Damien asked as he slipped coffee from his mug, he had a stern look on his face as he fixed his gaze on her.
"Jogging" Selena answered.
"You are not allowed to leave this Mansion" Damien said as he looked away from her and focused on his breakfast.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Selena asked as she shot him angry eyes, Selena was already angry with him and now he decides to do this.
"If you don't want to have breakfast then you can go back to your room, you are not leaving this Mansion, not until I say so" Damien ordered.
Selena wasn't going to give up yet, she looked at Dylan wanting to know if he had a hand in this but Dylan simply waved his hands as a sign that he wasn't part of this.
"I'm not a child that you get to lock up when ever you want or feel like, you don't get to lock me up." Selena said with an outraged voice.
"Well since you don't know how to take care of yourself then yes, I should lock you up. I let you out yesterday and you got yourself kidnapped." Damien said and it looked like the thought of what happened last night was still affecting him.
"You are not allowed to leave the mansion until I say so" Damien spoke and it sounded like there was no more room for arguments.
Selena's hands turned to fist as she looked at him, she didn't say a word, she retreated her steps and returned to her room .
"What was that about?" Dylan asked Damien when they were alone again. He had been watching and he could tell that Damien was being strict , more strict than usual.
