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 the bathroom. Finished with my activities there, I decided to come out of the room, still in my previous clothes. I wanted to see if Thane was still in this penthouse.I slowly opened the door to the room. I wanted to ensure no one was guarding the entrance with a bit of peek. Thane didn't send anyone to guard the door. I felt relieved and decided to open the door wide and go outside. Unfortunately, as I stepped out of the room, I saw Thane standing before me with his sharp gaze."Mister?" I called out nervously."Are you awake, Little Cat? How am I feeling this morning?" asked Thane in his heavy voice."I-I'm fine, sir. It's just that I'm still confused about some-" Thane didn't seem to want my answer and cut me off by placing a finger on my lips."Save your strength, Little Cat." I don't know what he meant, but that sentence confused me even more."Sir, what can I do now?" I saw him turn around.Thane didn't answer but immediately said, "Let's eat breakfast together."As soon as he finished his sentence, Thane turned around and headed for the dining room. We sat across from each other, and Thane immediately got to work with his food, as did I.In the middle of our activities, Thane suddenly explained something that confused me. Even so, I listened to him speak."You should feel lucky that I bought you. I spent fifty million dollars to bring you here."Is he crazy? Fifty million dollars is not a small amount of money. I could buy several houses with that money. I could also set up a small business. What was in his head when he spent that money just for me?"Are you aware of that action? That money is too big to get me, sir. I only owe a few hundred thousand dollars to Mr. Brams. What exactly is the purpose of you buying me?" I really can't stand this guy.I thought he would answer my question right away. However, he didn't budge and continued chewing. I couldn't think straight at the moment. He managed to confuse me even more.Before the man answered my question with some painful or frightening sentence, I quickly opened my voice again."I'll be working as a waitress here."Unexpectedly, my words caught Thane's attention. He put down his cutlery and looked at me."Didn't I say that you're the mistress of this penthouse? You don't have to do anything. You have a personal butler, nice clothes, a cozy place, and everything here, you can use, Elin."I was very surprised by his words. It was true. Last night, he had said that I was the mistress here. However, I thought it was just his babbling."You can get everything. If you need money to buy something, this... You can use it." Thane handed me a black card with a black card written on it.I had seen a similar card on a television show. It was a particular credit card that only the rich and chosen could have. Thane had it, and it was scary, even though it seemed to benefit me."You only need to be a servant while on the bed." I was about to reply, but Thane moved from his place and approached me.He locked me in a position right in front of my face. His hands held my body on each side of the chair I was sitting in."I'll be very busy after this. There are guards here who will take care of you. You have servants and personal bodyguards you can send around."I nodded after Thane explained the situation in this place. Right after that, he kissed me again. I don't know why I can't resist every time Thane does it. I'm sure, right now, my face looks red from embarrassment.After Thane let me go, he turned around and stepped out of the penthouse. Thane was busy, so he didn't take the time to hurry away.For several hours after Thane left, I was like a queen in this place. The servants here spoil me so much. They won't let me take care of the penthouse or hold cleaning tools. They don't even let me get a glass of water.One of the maids is always around me, just in case I need something immediately.While in this place, I wandered around to see what was inside. Not only outside the room, in the place where I slept last night, I noticed that there was another room besides the bathroom. I asked the maid to accompany me to look there."Madam, this is where your clothes are." The maid opened the door, and I saw a large, spacious walk-in closet.Oh my! This place was so spacious. There were even places for clothes, footwear, bags, and jewelry. Everything was so complete that I couldn't keep my mouth shut from gawking at it."W-was this all mine?" I asked the maid."Yes, of course, ma'am. It's all yours."I approached one of the cupboards, where some beautiful dresses looked luxurious and expensive. The maid helped me pick a white dress with a cherry blossom pattern on the right side."Please, ma'am." I accepted the dress and tried to put it on.The clothes in the closet were just the right size for my body. It was as if Thane had already met me and knew all my clothing sizes."It's so pretty. I don't even look like me. Oh my ...."All the brands in this closet are not just any brands. It costs several hundred dollars for an outfit like this. Now I'm wearing them, and Thane says they're all mine. Am I allowed to think that?The waitress behind me was complimenting me. She smiled and continued to explain everything I asked. Until I felt curious about Thane's figure."Actually, what does Mr. Thane do? How can he have all this?" I muttered, hoping the waiter would hear it and answer the question.Sure enough, just as I closed my mouth, she explained who Thane was."Mr. Thane is the leader of Royal. Of course, Mr. Thane can get all this easily. Moreover, you are now in a place that already belongs to you by Mr. Thane's order."I was surprised when the servant mentioned the name Royal. That name was so scary. I had heard it before. Thane was their leader.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
After the incident with the drink spilled on the book, I cleaned myself up first before going back to face Thane. I didn't need much time to simply clean my body. I finally finished it in just a few minutes and quickly put on new clothes. I didn't change much from my previous appearance except for the clothes. I only combed my long hair until it was smooth and then used only the necessary makeup. Once I was done, I went out of the room and searched for Thane's whereabouts. "Where did he go?" I murmured curiously.I glanced around the room I'd searched. However, there was no sign of Thane anywhere until a servant brought a tray of drinks to the lounge."Right, I haven't checked that room yet," I muttered as I walked towards the lounge.I stepped into the lounge, and sure enough, he was there. As my steps approached, not once did Thane turn around. His body was facing out the window, looking up at the sky that was so clear today. I decided to sit on the sofa not far from Thane's posi
There was a sinister aura emanating from Thane's body. I could see his anger as the security guard grabbed my hand. It was true that his grip made me groan, but I couldn't imagine what could happen to this officer? If Thane really showed his fangs.When the security guard saw who was making noise from behind him. He quickly let go of me, his steps looking anxious as he took distance from me.As I stared at Thane, I felt a command that made me move towards his back. Yes, like a child taking cover. Thane asked, "What's wrong?""I'm not sure. This shop rejected me, they took the card you gave them. I wanted to pay for the items I wanted," I explained to Thane.Without asking any more questions, Thane called a guard and told him to contact the shop owner. As an ordinary person, of course, I was shocked. In my mind, how could Thane know the owner of this shop?I looked like a stupid girl for a moment, and then when I realized it, I cursed my stupidity. Of course, Thane could quickly get in
I was almost out of breath, but Thane would not let go of my body. I pushed his body several times, but he only tightened his embrace. My chest felt tight. I gathered my strength and pushed harder. Finally, Thane let go of me. He looked at me with an uninterpretable gaze. Scared, of course, I'm very anxious right now. Especially since he was in high spirits a moment ago."Ma-sorry, sir. I-I... I can't breathe if you don't let me go immediately." I don't know what I said. Why is this nervousness making me unable to speak correctly?"This necklace fits your neck perfectly. You look beautiful too, Elin. Keep wearing it and I don't want it to fall off when we meet," he said, wanting to always see this necklace.I think Thane was more concerned about this expensive necklace than I was. I felt a little disappointed. Apparently, I'm not that valuable. Huh... why do I have to have these thoughts?I walked over to the mirror, looking at my reflection there. This necklace is beautiful when I w
My body felt frozen, as if moving from Thane's grasp was difficult. I think he knew that I'd heard his conversation in there. Could this be a punishment? I don't know...Thane brought his face closer, so close that I could feel his lips whispering in my ear. No, he wasn't whispering, but a peck was given that sent goosebumps all over my body.I closed my eyes, feeling the rush of blood boiling over. What was this feeling? Why is my body so hot when Thane touches it?There was nothing I could do. I was hypnotized by his touch. I felt him nuzzle my neck while his hands grazed my back, bringing our bodies closer together. I kept my lips from making the sound Thane wanted. Yes, I knew Thane was looking forward to it.I didn't want him to know that my body was starting to enjoy it. I really didn't want him to do more than this."Don't hold back," Thane whispered, giving my body a strange sensation."Tu-an, release me," I stuttered as I held back a sigh.He didn't stop. Thane was getting cr
Sparkling lights illuminated this lavishly decorated building in the city centre. I watched as cars belonging to the wealthy took turns pulling up in front of the lobby doors. The vehicle I was travelling in with Thane was still waiting for its turn. Yes, we had just arrived at a lavish party. During the ride, I didn't stop worrying. My heart kept racing, and my hands were wet with sweat.While Thane remained calm, the man always looked like that. I didn't wonder if he was so quiet. What was I, a first-timer at a rich person's party? I was just afraid of making a mistake. As we drove up, a doorman opened the car door for me and Thane. As Thane stepped out of the car, many pairs of eyes stared at him. I could see how Thane was recognized by the rich.Thane extended his hand and invited me in. At the lobby door, I saw two big men checking the guests. I could see how vital the security system was there.Thane took out his invitation, and we entered the luxurious building. My eyes were u
