Elinor wandered around the park, focusing on the few small children playing or playing there. One name she called didn't come up with an answer. A sense of worry began to set in, and Elinor now looked confused about where her son was.Elinor searched anxiously around the park for Theodore. She called his name repeatedly, but there was no answer. The desire to find Theodore made her heart flutter even more. Amongst the low noise of the park bustling with children, it seemed difficult for her to see or hear Theodore.Elinor tried to keep her composure, thinking that perhaps Theodore was busy playing and hadn't noticed her mother's call. However, worry lingered in her mind. She asked some children playing nearby, "Have you seen Theodore? He was playing here earlier."The children shook their heads, and Elinor felt even more worried. She started walking faster, checking every corner of the park to find Theodore, who was either lost or too engrossed in his play to hear his mother's call.R
Darkness...Both my eyes were covered with cloth. I didn't know what they would do with this body. I couldn't even feel my tears. The baritones of several people chimed in, some directing, some speaking sternly to me."Don't make it worthless, one scratch can ruin everything!" said one of them.I didn't know what the faces of the people leading me somewhere looked like. My steps were being shown through a long, endless hallway. All the steps stopped, and there was the creak of a door opening."Quickly bring her in! They're waiting."Who was waiting? Why was I feeling so uneasy at his words?"... what are you going to do to me?" I asked, making sure something might happen.There was no answer for several minutes until a step approached me, and someone whispered in my ear."Didn't I tell you? It's all your father's fault for leaving you in debt and using you as collateral. I need more money than your body, so I'll sell you to a rich man who can pay you what your father owes." That voice
I was in a room with luxurious decorations. I could read the writing on the door, a VVIP sign indicating the importance of the room's occupant. I was also confident that the owner of this room was the man who gave fifty million to buy me.I saw a sofa that was so comfortable without anyone on it. Meanwhile, besides it was a small table with a cigar-puffing out smoke, like someone had just used it. However, as my eyes wandered around, there wasn't a single person there.Yes, after the stressful auction activities. Now, I was in an unfamiliar room belonging to that man. Earlier, Mr. Brams pulled me down from the stage and led me away. Where was he taking me this time? No one knew.After a large number was decided as the final price, Mr. Brams looked like he had won a lottery ticket. He kept pushing me from behind to walk faster somewhere.We walked down a long hallway, each side of which had a door that read VVIP. Was this place a hotel or perhaps a hidden inn? Mr. Brams didn't say anyt
I can't remember the last time happiness came to me. Everything seemed bleak, primarily when I could no longer determine my future. Yes, ever since that man gave Mr. Brams the fifty million, he took control of my life.After saying his words, that man was even more unwilling to let me out of his grasp. He made me sit on his lap. I could inhale the intoxicating scent of Mr. T's body. For a few seconds, he ignored me for the almost-empty cigar.Finally, the hand wrapped around my waist began moving closer to our position. My body was too close to his, I was even having trouble breathing due to nerves."Mr, what are you going to do?" I asked curiously.I wanted to be prepared if he gave an unexpected attack. Maybe I could fight back a little. However, resistance is not a thing a rich man likes. I'm sure he will use his power to make things easy.I feel Mr. T's fingers begin to reach for my face. He touched me gently, giving me a sensation that spurred my heart."Mr..i-I beg you. Let me b
After sobbing over my bad luck, I woke up with puffy eyes. I sat on the edge of the bed, blinking to make sure Thane wasn't in this room. After that, I went to the bathroom to wash my face.This place was too luxurious. Should I feel unlucky or lucky? On the other hand, I felt so bad for getting all this by being bought by a rich man. However, I also felt grateful that the man seemed nice, even though his face didn't seem friendly.What happened last night was surprising, especially when our lips met. Thane has a potent charm, and his handsome face further supported yesterday's situation. Aaa... this is the first time I've felt a kiss that so aroused me. I must admit, that kiss was amazing.Yes... I should immediately wash my face with water to look fresher. Last night's crying made my face look even worse, but there's no denying it: it's all because of my father, who has a loan from Mr. Brams. My life continued to be tortured until I was finally trapped here. I didn't take long in t
I got goosebumps when the maid told me who Thane was. Yes, he was the most feared mafia leader. I never thought I'd be in the lair of a ruthless mobster. I struggled with my own thoughts again. Who wouldn't be anxious in a place like this? Even though I was luxurious and had everything I needed, I was still afraid of Thane. This fear unconsciously made me bite my nails. In fact, my feet couldn't stop from walking to and fro around the room.Royal... the name was familiar, but... where did I hear it?The name of the mafia group kept popping up until I was filled with many scary scenes about Royal. Yes, I remember now. When I was still working hard to earn money. I often heard the name of that mafia group, Royal.However, not once did I ever see the face of their leader. Although they were famous, their identity was kept secret at that time. However, everyone knew that they were very dangerous and feared. In fact, not just anyone could meet and get to know him. That's because no one co
As his fingers gently touched my shoulder, I felt something strange about myself. How could I feel every day when he touched me? But, no sooner had I looked at his face than fear came over me again.I think Thane is playing with my feelings. I felt calm a moment ago, but it quickly disappeared when Thane's face looked creepy, in my opinion.We were on the veranda of the penthouse. After surprising me by arriving without making a sound, Thane sat down beside me. I saw a waiter carrying a bottle of wine and two empty glasses from the doorway. The waiter placed them on the small table between us. The waiter left after setting them down.Thane moved. He reached for the wine bottle. I saw Thane begin to pour the drink into the glasses. Then, his hand offered the glass to me. I hesitated to take it, but something might happen if I didn't. So, I decided to grab the drink.Thane also poured the drink into his glass. He drank the wine from his glass while I still stood there with a confused fa
"Why are you always so careless?"I don't know the point of me being here if I don't do anything. This penthouse is too big for me to live alone. Yes, although there are servants and guards here, they look like they have no souls. In fact, their faces look just like Thane's, flat and expressionless. They always gave short answers whenever I asked questions and annoyed me because I wasn't satisfied with those answers.I snorted a few times and I don't know how many times I sighed. This place really bored me.All I did was enjoy a meal in the morning, then proceeded to do nothing until lunch and dinner came. Until I decided to ask the burly guard by the door. He was always there. Not once did I see him move. Could he be a statue?I don't think so, he had breath, and I caught a glimpse of his body moving.My steps stopped right in front of him. Gathering my courage, I asked, "Sir, can I do anything or just go for a walk?"At first, I didn't see that the guard wanted to answer my question
