Chapter 640 Why Did I Kiss You Before? On her way back from the hospital, Selena spotted Raymond's car.
It was parked by an alley, windows smashed.
Her heart skipped a beat. She called him, but no answer.
Next, she called John. He said Raymond was driving back to the hotel alone tonight.
Selena quickly got out of her car. After a moment's thought, she decided to walk down the alley.
The deeper she went, the damper it got, and the lights flickered. The streetlights were old and barely working.
Several men lay on the ground, blood pooling around them.

She froze. A man emerged from the shadows. Under the flickering light, she leaned against the wall.
The bullet grazed her hair and hit the wall behind her.
Selena was terrified, especially when she saw the man with the gun was Raymond.
He looked surprised to see her. When he realized it was her, the bullet had already been missed; otherwise, she'd be dead.
He frowned as he strode toward her, checking her over to make sure she was just scared. Then he spoke bluntly.
"What are you doing here?" "Mr. Montague, are you hurt?" Raymond stiffened, his grip on the gun tightening.
Selena found it odd. Blood was everywhere; she'd almost been shot, yet she was asking if he was hurt. Wouldn't a normal person scream in fear? They'd probably think he was a cold-blooded killer.
Raymond found it amusing. He lit a cigarette and laughed.
"Penny?" Selena didn't move. The smell of blood was overwhelming, but she had a rough idea why Raymond was being hunted.
Only the Montague family knew he was injured. The rest of the Montague family had bad intentions. The Greer and Elbert families wanted him out, and now was the perfect tto take him down. Plus, Raymond had lost his memory and didn't trust John anymore.
Selena leaned against the wall, worried Raymond might kill her.
But he didn't. He called out, tossed the cigarette butt onto a dead man's chest, and walked toward her.
Selena had nowhere to go. The light above her dimmed.
Then, a gun lifted her chin.
She didn't know if it was loaded and didn't dare move.

Selena swallowed and looked up at Raymond.
His gaze stopped at her chest, remembering what Carter had said about burying his face there. His hostility faded.
Selena saw where he was looking and instinctively crossed her arms.
"Mr. Montague, you..."
Raymond looked up, staring at her face. "Why did I kiss you before?" Selena couldn't answer. Because he liked her? He had said he liked her, but who knew if it was true? Raymond slowly moved the gun down, grazing her neck.
Her scarf fell to the ground, and she shivered from the cold.
But Raymond's gun kept going, pressing against her chest, revealing ve her bra.
Selena's fingertips trembled. She even suspected a bullet might pierce her chest any second.
