This morning, I woke up to my cell phone ringing. I saw Anne's name on it, and I immediately took the call without waiting any longer. I heard Anne's happy voice from the other side."Hey, Elinor! Did you enjoy my wedding so much?" Anne asked from the other end."Of course, your wedding was great, and I loved everything, including the food," I replied to make Anne even happier."Ah, yes. My family ordered delicious food, and many of the guests loved it. I'm glad that yesterday went well and smoothly."That's good to hear, Anne. Do you have any other news? It's early in the morning, and you're calling me. There must be something to be happy about, right?" I asked reassuringly.On the other side, I could hear Anne laughing happily. Someone was beside her, probably hugging her right now. I felt reassured that Anne had gotten what she wanted all along."Hey, I'm going on my honeymoon with my husband. We're going to the next town over." Apparently, that was the happy news Anne would share
Thane didn't usually take me out of the penthouse. Moreover, the destination was a park, a public place that must have many visitors. I was pretty surprised when the car stopped in the parking lot, and Thane told me to get out of the vehicle."We're going to play in the park? Aren't you in the wrong place, Thane?" I asked to make sure. Thane didn't answer my question as usual and continued walking into the park. I had no choice but to follow him. Of course, I was happy he had invited me to this place.My gaze wandered all over the garden. The place was beautiful, and the plants were neatly organized. Some flowers were grouped according to color, and some stood alone because they had large tree trunks. I enjoyed the scenery there, but another sight made me wonder. All around us, couples were sitting and walking hand in hand. I guess they were on a date in this park.Not everyone was in a couple, but many of them were still lovers, alone together and enjoying the beauty of this area.
Whenever Amanda was around Thane, she would catch his attention quickly. In fact, Thane didn't want to waste any time when Amanda was around. Thane would leave whatever he was doing as long as Amanda was around.I am playing with sand in the park, like other children playing with friends. They were having fun with the toys here. As for me? I just distracted myself to wait for Thane and Amanda to finish."Hah... I'm tired of sitting here, too. I'd better head over to the lawn chair. It seems more comfortable there. There are many flowers around." I got up and headed for a chair in one corner of the garden.The garden chair was under a shady tree. The air was fantastic as the dense leaves protected me from the sun. I noticed a few people in the park. They were having their own fun. But not me.Then... my eyes fell on the car Thane was using with Amanda. I thought that woman would speak before me, but I was wrong. Amanda was always looking for a place that could only be used by the two o
After forcing me to dress up, Thane now led me to a fancy restaurant. This place makes me feel small. I'd never been to a restaurant like this before, so many things were now on my mind. About the way rich people should behave, move, and be ethical. I didn't have all that knowledge and feared embarrassing Thane with my behavior later.Thane had reserved a table for us, and he quickly told the waiter about the reservation Thane's assistant had made. The waiter directed us to a table by the window, with a beautiful view of the outside lights. Not only that, but the restaurant also had melodious jazz music playing inside. Apparently, this was the kind of atmosphere Thane had always had. Unlike me, who never thought I would be in this place. Everyone was wearing fancy clothes and accessories. Although they looked ordinary, I knew how much their jewelry and clothes cost."Thane, don't you have anywhere else to eat?" I asked myself. Of course, I wouldn't be able to ask directly. That would
until now, I didn't understand Thane's way of thinking. That man always left me wondering and confused with every sentence from his lips. Like a few moments ago, a ruling that was so creepy was thrown out after an accidental meeting with Liam.My steps followed Thane until they reached the front of the car. Thane stopped his steps and looked sharply at me. I was sure Thane would be furious this time, just like before. Was I going to be his main target?A bodyguard opened the door for me and Thane, but three men in black suits arrived before we entered. They stood behind Thane and made him turn around. I felt so scared. Was this going to end like I thought?Their faces looked scary, even scarier than Thane's. My heart was racing from the fear that came after seeing them. "Thane?" I tried to call out to Thane in a low voice, but he didn't turn to look at me and instead stared at the three men in front of him.Suddenly, Thane pushed my body to get into the car. I sat in the car seat, an
I haven't seen Thane for a few days now. After the incident at the restaurant, I guess that time was the trigger. I don't even know how Thane is doing right now. After arriving at the penthouse, he just left without letting me in.Maybe Thane was going to settle the dispute that had just happened. I heard his words in the car at that time. There was fear when I heard that Thane would retaliate against those who had attacked him, but on the other hand, Thane's strength was not in doubt.After that, until now, there was no news that Mia gave me about Thane. Thane didn't want to tell me about his current situation. "Huh... this atmosphere is getting boring like before. I need to distract myself so I don't drown in the situation," I muttered as I looked up at the darkening sky behind the bedroom window.I've been doing some activities like before. Reading books, playing with my cell phone, and shopping online. Sometimes, I even went downstairs, where the gym was. Whenever I was there, it
I covered my mouth with both hands as Thane turned towards me. The Thane in front of me looked different like he wasn't the Thane who had been with me. It was like hallucinating, but it was confirmed when I sharpened my vision.I saw Thane's eyes change color. This time, the color seemed to glow because of the moonlight. It looked so golden and made me step back. "Is he really the Thane I've been with?" I asked myself.My whole body now felt stiff. I was like frozen after seeing Thane, who was so scary. In fact, Thane was still standing where he was. The look in his eyes didn't leave me, making me feel like he wanted to pounce on me.I couldn't feel comfortable and safe when I saw the figure before me. Although he was Thane, it didn't seem like the real thing. Is it possible that Thane has a brother?My position here was like an easy prey ready to be eaten. However, what was in front of me was not a wild animal, but Thane-the man who bought me.My body trembled, and the fear made me
I struggled as Thane began to play with his touch on my body. He kept attacking me, saying that I wanted all of this. No! I didn't even want this to happen.As much as I begged, Thane even seemed to cover his ears to not hear my whining. He didn't stop kissing my neck and inhaling the scent of my body. Ticklish, the taste made me uncomfortable.Several times, I felt his fingers touching my naked area. Rubbing gently and making my legs kick carelessly."Thane, please... didn't you promise?" I asked softly.My body felt weak since Thane was on top of me. No matter how much energy I exerted, it would be useless to fight him. That enormous body was right on top of me, without him thinking about how much weight I was carrying. Thane really seemed to be possessed by something. What he said and did, I don't think any of it was driven by consciousness."It's a lie if you say you don't want it, Elin. I'll prove that my body also wants the same thing as me," said Thane, who then held my hand an
