In the past, Ryan often sent me voice messages filled with sweet words.
This time, all he sent was a short message, “Know when to stop.”
I let out a cold laugh and threw my phone aside.
“Your Highness!” Annie was frantic. “Your Highness, if Prince Ryan is willing to talk, can’t you at least take a step back-”
I cut her off. “Were there any birthday gifts delivered today?”
Annie blinked. “Yes, there was.”
She handed me a velvet box containing a ruby-studded bracelet.
“Is this from Prince Ryan-”
I lit up and slipped the bracelet on. Then, I stood up and changed into a low-cut evening dress, the kind that accentuated my chest.
“Your Highness, what’s going on with you these days? You’re going out so late? Wait for me-”
“Annie, you stay here.”
I closed the door, turned, and walked away.
I wasn’t the same person anymore.
The obedient, docile Selina that once existed was long gone.
