The mysterious figure continued his ruthless interrogation, asking about the gang’s actions against Selena. As he demanded answers, he inflicted severe punishments, leaving the gang terrified. The man’s cold determination to protect Selena and eradicate anything that harmed her permeated the scene.
Back at the castle, Selena, now awake at midnight, was greeted by Osvaldo, who had just returned. She noticed his damp hair, indicating he had been out. Despite the late hour, Selena was joyfully surprised by his presence, questioning why he was back so late. Osvaldo, with a touch of decadent tenderness, informed her about the captured individuals and asked if she wanted to see them.
Selena, her eyes turning icy, agreed. In minutes, she was ready, accompanied by Osvaldo. The group of perpetrators, now in captivity, begged for forgiveness, offering to reveal the mastermind. Selena, seated on a rattan chair, observed them, while Osvaldo, standing behind her, shared that he had given them a harsh lesson.
The frightened group pleaded for mercy, realizing the severity of their situation. The mysterious figure’s merciless actions had instilled deep fear in them. Selena, unfazed by their pleas, decided to send them to the police station, relying on the justice system to handle them.
With Osvaldo’s assurance that the troublemakers would face legal consequences, Selena’s interest in the situation waned. She stood up, smiling at Osvaldo, and suggested sending them to the police station. Her trust in the justice system reflected her desire for a fair resolution.
As they left the scene, Selena raised a delicate issue, intending to discuss the termination of their marriage if it caused Osvaldo any trouble. However, when she looked at Osvaldo’s face, she found herself unable to voice her concerns. Osvaldo, attentive to her, touched her mouth’s corner and asked what was wrong.
Struggling to articulate her thoughts, Selena hesitated. Osvaldo, gazing at her, reassured her that the scandal hadn’t caused him any trouble. Selena, biting her lip, felt unable to utter the words she had prepared. Osvaldo, observing her, emphasized that if he couldn’t handle such gossip, he wouldn’t be worthy of her choice.
As they reached Selena’s room, she whispered about the scandal’s potential impact on Osvaldo’s reputation. Osvaldo, assuring her, stated that he could handle such matters. Selena, relieved, asked him to inform her if anything troubling occurred. Osvaldo agreed, bid her good night, and watched her enter her room.
Under the warm streetlight, Osvaldo’s demeanor turned cold after Selena closed the door. Leia approached him, revealing that Lady Lauren had arrived in Creephia that day.
