My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

Yesseca hurriedly nodded and got out of the car.

As soon as she got home, she slammed the door.

She sat on the sofa and gasped.

Selina's expression came to her mind again.

The panic, the confusion, and the pain.

She had never seen Selina like that.

She felt her heartbeat increasing.

After a moment, she stood up and returned to her bedroom. Her fingers trembled as she took out a photo from under her pillow. It was a photo of Lothar and her.

Seeing Lothar's bright smile in the photo, she felt her heart gradually calming down.

Staring at him, she mumbled, "Lothar, you are Selina's best friend, aren't you?" "She treats you well, doesn't she?"

"She was the one who cured me and did a great favor for our family, isn't she?"

He did not respond.

He kept smiling at her.

Yesseca spoke again, "Lothar, I shouldn't doubt her, should I?"

Just as she just asked, she heard something.

"Human hearts are terrifying."

She was startled.

She looked around, but there was no one with her.

It was just her imagination.

"Human hearts are terrifying."

It was what Tremaine had said.

She used to think that he was a good guy, but she had found out that he wasn't.

If she hadn't seen the picture on his computer, she would never have believed that he would do such a thing.

But he did do it.

She couldn't believe it was Selina who had caused her brother's death, but the truth was...

Right then, she felt someone's hands clenching her heart. Her heart was convulsing. She didn't know anything anymore! "Beep! Beep!"

Just then, her phone rang urgently.

Yesseca was frightened, and she was trembling.

Picking up her phone, she saw that it was Preslie who was calling her.

There were beads of sweat on her back.

It was like she had just come out from a strange, terrifying place inside her. Preslie's call brought her back to reality.

She answered the phone, "Hello."

"Yesseca, I can't sleep." After finishing this sentence, Preslie sighed, "I'm going to tell you a secret. I kissed a man in Nashaland."

Yesseca gave a perfunctory reply.

She was in a trance still, so she was not paying attention to what Preslie was saying.

Preslie continued, "I was afraid that you would make fun of me, so I didn't tell you at first. After thinking, I feel like I should tell you as we are best friends. I shouldn't be so reserved towards my best friend, right? That was my first kiss."

After a pause, she said shyly, "I was

so confused when he kissed me, and I am still thinking about him now. He looked so good in his

military uniform, just like those net

soldiers from the movies. Yesseca, think I'm done for. I must have fallen inlove with him."

Yesseca said nothing even thought Preslie had poured out so much.

Fortunately, Preslie had always been careless, so she did not notice it.

In the end, Preslie sighed deeply. "I know you would think I'm acting silly. I'll leave it here. I'm hanging up. See you tomorrow."

Hearing the beeping sound from the phone, Yesseca felt herself shivering again.

Although she didn't respond to Preslie's words just now, at least she had felt like she was living and breathing in reality by hearing her voice. As soon as Preslie hung up, she felt herself reentering that creepy dark world again. In that world, the good were all evil.

Selina, who she'd treated as her sister, had become the murderer of her brother.

As soon as Matthew returned to the villa, Erine said urgently, "Mr. Perry, hurry! Take a look at Miss Whitlock."

He was stunned. "What's wrong with her?"

"Nothing much," she said, "When I went to take care of Yervant, I felt that Miss Whitlock was acting strange. I spoke to her, but she seemed like she was in a trance. She wasn't like this a while ago."

"I'll go take a look." He immediately went upstairs.

Selina was sitting by the baby's bed.

She had always been all smiles whenever she was looking at Yervant. However, she was absentminded at the moment, and her face was a little pale.

He walked over and put his arms around her waist. "What's wrong?"

She looked at him, "Matthew, I was just thinking of Lothar."

He paused.

Then, he said even gentler to her, "Lothar is already gone. He left happily and peacefully. You don't have to be upset."

She didn't say anything.

He tightened his arms around her.

His hot breath surrounded her, and she felt the heat returning to her cold body.

"Matthew." After a moment, she muttered, "Just now, Yesseca asked me about Lothar. She wanted to know how he died and if he actually died in an accident at sea."

A hint of astonishment flashed across his eyes.

But it soon disappeared. Matthew asked, "How did you answer her?"

"I didn't." Selina shook her head in

pain. "I don't know how to. It had always been a lie. How am I supposed to tell Yesseca that? I promised Lothar that I wouldn't tell Yesseea the truth, but hiding it from

her makes me sad. Do you think she

noticed something? Or why would she had asked me like this?"

He whispered, "Selina, even if she noticed something, you don't have to be sorry about it. You haven't done anything wrong to Lothar or Yesseca. Don't think too much about it."

"I understand, but..." She couldn't finish her sentence.

Because even she herself did not know what it was.

"Go to bed earlier. You seem a little tired today."

She nodded. "I should, huh? I guess I am really tired."

When the two of them went to bed, it did not take long for Selina to fall asleep and started dreaming.

In her dream, she saw Yesseca pointing at her, questioning, "Selina, you killed my brother, didn't you?" Selina shook his head. "It's not. It wasn't me."

"You liar!" Yesseca suddenly raised

her voice. "You took my brother's heart. If you hadn't taken his heart, he wouldn't have died. You took it for your own sake!" "It's not like that!" Selina's breath quickened as she explained, "Lothar was about to die. He only had a few days left. That's why I accepted his heart. It's not

what you think."

"It's not what I think, huh?" Yesseca stepped forward and looked at Selina with hatred. "Why did he only have a few days left? Because of Reid, and he is Matthew's brother. Selina, you guys are the murderers of my brother! It has everything to do with you!"
