Chapter 17
“Why do you look so scared?”
I never dared look up to Ciel because I was too scared to face him again. I… I did not prepare myself for his sudden appearance. Shutting my eyes closed, I felt him sit just beside me and his warm hand cupped my cheek.
“Frost, is everything okay?”
F-Frost? The only person who called me that was… Taking the courage to open my eyes, I slowly lifted my head and looked at the person in front of me. It was Lansford. I let out a breath of relief when I saw his annoying face and just slapped his hand away. He almost gave me a heart attack with how similar his voice was to Ciel.
“I am okay. Leave me alone,” I said before grabbing the blanket and covering myself. Letting him see me scared and vulnerable like this was too embarrassing and he might just take advantage of me. I would never let a mere human like Lansford gain control o

Pacing back and forth in my room with my heart beating fast, I could not find an excuse that can possibly explain what Lansford saw just a while back. I should crack my head to come up with a lie while he takes that woman away from this place. What should I tell him?Oh, shit! If only that woman did not anger me, my eyes would not glow in anger. This was nothing but a bad sign. Should I just escape and leave this place? Maybe this was also a sign that I should leave Lansford and find another person who would help me. But… But how would I take my bead back from him? I mean… I could not just go and kiss him while he was awake. Oh, that was not something I would do because he would surely assume that I like him. Ew!I stopped in my tracks when I heard his footsteps coming into my room. Maybe I should just hide. Running towards the large closet, I heard the door open even before I could hide away from his sight.

I could not answer his question so I simply looked out the window and said nothing. If I were to lie to him, would he believe me? But I just had this feeling that he was not in the mood to be fooling around and if he caught me lying, he might just throw me out and I had nowhere else to go. I did not want that to happen, especially since those new places scare the hell out of me.“Are you not going to answer me?” Lansford asked after a few moments of silence between us.“I… I am just someone from the countryside,” I muttered as I remembered the words Lydia told me before in the hospital.I heard him scoff, a sign that he probably knew I was lying. But… he does not know that I was an immortal, doesn’t he? If he knew that, then, I’d be doomed. Stealing a glance from him, I saw that he was wearing that serious expression again. Seeing him like that honestly scares me a little

Hoping that Lansford would come back and find me, I stayed at the shop for who knows how long. The ladies in uniform started to probably get annoyed at me since I was staying in their shop and was not buying anything, making me feel uneasy and uncomfortable. I did not want to embarrass myself so I hauled the bags with me and left. His scent was all over the place but even though I followed its trace, he was still nowhere to be found.I did not know the direction where Lansford parked his car nor can I read the signs around me so I simply trusted my instinct and walked towards the stairs moving downwards. I knew I was lost but it was just hard to admit it to myself.After several minutes of going back and forth just to find the exit, I finally found myself exiting the huge building. There were a lot of people that I could no longer smell the scent of Lansford. With negativity hitting me right at that moment, I could not help but think t

(FAYALITE)We were currently inside the room of Alexander as he tended to my wounds on both hands and feet. He was quiet all the time, thus, it became more unnerving to speak with him. Did he probably guess that I was planning to stand him up? But I do hope that he was not thinking about that because I did not want to face his anger. Besides, my escape was a total failure and it even ended up as a kidnapping.Watching him carefully wrapping my hand with a bandage, I suddenly flinched when he lifted his gaze and looked into my eyes. If only his stare was a sharp knife, it could have gone through me.“What did those men want from you?” he asked.I was able to breathe in relief since he did not speak about me leaving the wedding. I managed to escape that predicament as of the moment but the thought of him mentioning that anytime was more than unnerving.

With the woman entering Alexander’s office, I cannot help but feel worried. Yes, I did plan to run away during our wedding but now that we were married, I do not want it to simply go to waste. At least, I would want to take advantage of it to search for Arsen as soon as possible.I promised my grandmother that I would return as soon as possible but it had already been more than three months and yet I was not making any progress. I just had this feeling that if I stay a little bit longer with Alexander, I could actually find Arsen and I wanted to cling onto that instinct.Out of impulse, I walked towards his office and held the doorknob. I was hesitant to open the door but I eventually decided to go inside. Entering the room, several people, mostly men, gazed in my direction and they were giving me this confused look.“Is she your new secretary?” the woman whom the workers referred to as the ex-lover of

Regaining my consciousness, I heard several voices, both familiar and unfamiliar, around me. Curious about what they were talking about, I still shut my eyes while enduring the strong smell of antiseptic, my least favorite smell.“We did some tests to check on whatever is wrong with her but we found nothing. She is completely normal,” an unfamiliar voice stated.“You mean… either she is truly sleeping right now or pretending to be asleep?” I was more than sure that that was Alexander. There was a hint of annoyance and anger in his voice that made me hesitant to open my eyes.He was indeed right about me pretending to be asleep right now but I was definitely in pain back then. That was no pretense. Still, even I was ignorant of the reason why I had that chest pain and even lost consciousness. Wanting to explain my side, I opened my eyes and the first person I locked gaze with was Alexander.

My throat felt dry and all the things that I planned to tell Alexander vanished in thin air. I shifted my gaze to him and was hoping that he would tell Freya to leave his room for a while so we could at least talk privately. But what happened was the total opposite.“After what you did today, you are still shameless to come and see me?” he sneered. “Leave.”As he held Freya’s hand and pulled her inside, a pang of pain had shot in my chest yet again. I was still unsure if it was because I was hurt at what Alexander did or if it was due to the same mystery reason why I fainted a while back. Even though his room was large and spacious, the air became thin that it was already hard for me to breathe. It was like the three of us inside were already too suffocating.“Leave,” Alexander repeated. This time, his voice hardened as he looked at me as if I committed a grave sin.

I returned my gaze at Luis and gave him a nod. Even though he gave me a worried look, I simply smiled at him before he finally stood from his seat and left the room. Now that only Alexander and I were left all alone, his peppermint perfume became more prominent than the antiseptic scent of the place.I clutched at the thin blanket as I met his gaze.“You won’t be able to force me in signing it,” I told him.He smirked. “I can do anything, Fayalite, to make you do it. And while I am being nice, be obedient and just follow through with my decisions.”This was one thing I did not like about him… his arrogance and inconsideration of my situation. Unlike Arsen, this very person did not have a single ounce of being considerate. After he forcefully barged into my life and put my plan into disarray, he wanted to leave as if he did no damage. He was just too selfish.
