In the garden
Now Selva and Mark are in Arden's garden.
It so happened that Arden had created a special garden plot for vegetables that he usually supplied to restaurants in the city.
However, it turned out that the vegetables sold well and were in demand by big restaurants, so Arden had to add more land to expand his garden, as a result, now the garden which was originally only a small plot has become very large.
"Are you helping with the garden too?" Selva nodded enthusiastically as she picked some vegetables that were ready to be harvested.
Mark saw several young men who seemed to be picking vegetables, not taking their eyes off Selva since earlier.
"Are those young men working here?" Mark asked coldly, not hesitating to give them a sharp look.
Selva nodded and glanced at them.
Not long after, a young man approached Selva, "Sel, some of the vegetables your father asked to be delivered today are ready. Do you want to deliver them now or wait for the supervisor to pick them up himself?" asked the young man, whose gaze did not shift for a second from Selva's beautiful face.
Selva saw several vegetables that had been well packaged, carefully sorted and ready to be sent, looking ready to be delivered.
"I'll deliver it myself," the man just nodded and went back to work.
Not long after, Selva's phone rang. The name of someone she had been avoiding since yesterday flashed on her screen.
Alex.
Selva ignored him but her phone kept ringing, making her annoyed.
"I'll call first," Mark just nodded.
Seeing Selva move away a little made Mark immediately approach the young men, as if he was checking his vegetables.
"Do you work here?" Mark asked casually, to which they all nodded simultaneously but with a blank expression.
Mark just nodded and smiled at them, "I will remember your faces well. I hope you can work here for a long time. So you can witness my wedding with Selva later." They looked surprised.
"Marriage?" Mark nodded and glanced at Selva who was still on the phone.
"Selva didn't tell you guys? She's going to marry me, we exchanged rings last week," Mark lied, making their faces look very disappointed.
Mark tried to hold back his smile as he said that ridiculous nonsense.
"But why haven't we seen you around? You don't seem like you're from around here," Mark nodded.
"I'm from Palermo, I work there. After we get married, Selva will come with me," Mark boasted again.
They really showed a disappointed face, really looked disappointed.
"Uncle," Selva called, making the young man immediately look at Mark, as if asking for an explanation of the call.
"That's a term of endearment for me, she really is my future wife," said Mark before leaving to convince them that Selva really was his future wife even though it was just his boast.
Mark immediately approached Selva, "What's wrong?" Mark asked when he saw Selva's panicked expression.
"Uncle, go back home, I'll go pick up my friend," he said, saying goodbye, to which Selva immediately ran away without waiting for Mark's response.
Mark sensed something was wrong with Selva. While Arden and Sona were away, Selva was his responsibility. What was going on?

Embroidery house
Selva entered the brothel with trepidation and apprehension. The bustle of the brothel was unusual. This time, it was incredibly crowded.
Why are there so many people nowadays?
Because if they had just kept quiet, Selva might not have been this scared, but they gambled and drank.
Selva cursed her stupidity for agreeing to pick up Alex here.
"Selva!" Dane called, waving his hand.
Selva immediately rushed over to him.
"Alex is inside," said Dane, making Selva immediately enter one of the rooms.
However, Selva glared angrily when she saw Alex was fine, sitting on the sofa enjoying his drink with two girls by his side.
Selva was about to go out but Dane immediately locked the door.
"Are you lying to me?" Selva snapped angrily at Dane.
Dane laughed out loud while staring at Alex.
"Sorry Sel, Alex is actually fine, he just lost a bet, and he made you the bet, because he lost so you have to sleep with us," Selva clenched her fists tightly, staring sharply at Alex who looked like he was really enjoying his drink at the moment.
Selva slowly backed away as Dane approached her, "Stay away from me." Selva pressed, making Dane laugh.
"Lex, your ex was so beautiful, how come you broke up with her? It's a shame you didn't try her body," Alex just cursed and smiled faintly.
"Hold her, I'll play first," said Alex, who immediately got up from the sofa and approached Selva.
Some of them immediately held Selva's hand when Alex approached.
"I actually never wanted to break up with her, but she was very stubborn and repeatedly ended our relationship, but this time, I will make you completely mine," said Alex while gripping Selva's long neck.
Selva tried to fight back when Alex kissed her long neck.
LACK
The door just fell apart because of someone's kick.
"Uncle," muttered Selva, surprised by Mark's arrival.
How did he know Selva was here?
Mark immediately pulled Dane's shirt and hit him in the jaw.
Even for Mark, facing seven of Alex's men was like facing ants. They were down on the floor and unconscious within seconds.
Why does Mark look so scary when he's this cruel?
Mark took off his black leather jacket and draped it over Selva's body before he beat Alex.
Selva gripped Mark's jacket tightly and held back her fear at this moment.
Mark let out a sigh as he managed to leave Alex battered and bruised.
But Alex was still able to stand even though his lips and temples were already bleeding from Mark's blows.
Mark immediately approached Selva, checking her hands and feet.
But instead he caught a kiss mark on Selva's neck.
"Oh, so you broke up with me because you became this old man's mistress? Is your body so cheap that you sold yourself to an old man like him?" Alex laughed disdainfully.
Selva clenched her fists tightly and gave a sharp stare.
Mark was about to hit Alex again but Selva held his hand.
"Become his mistress? Seriously, he's my future husband, besides being handsome, he's very rich and clean, unlike you who's a drunkard and a gambler, wild and a womanizer, of course I'd choose him over being with trash like you," Selva mocked angrily and hurt by Alex's words just now.
Mark, who heard himself being claimed as Selva's future husband, suddenly became confused and didn't know how to breathe normally.
Aex, who heard this, just laughed loudly, "Don't make me hot under the collar with your boasts. How could this old man possibly be your future husband?" Alex mocked, belittling Selva, who didn't believe what she had just said.
Selva glared angrily when Alex really tested her patience.
Annoyed, Selva stood on tiptoe and kissed Mark's sexy lips in front of Alex to confirm what she had just said.
Alex looked very annoyed when he saw Selva being so aggressive towards Mark, unlike when he was in a relationship with her before when she was very distant and maintained her boundaries.
Selva looked at Alex and said, "Why lie to you when I can do it for real." Selva immediately pulled Mark's hand to leave from there.
