"I want you to hold me like you used to, please." She curdled in closer to him and sniffed, making Adepe realize that she was crying.His eyes flickered in confusion and he glanced at her. "Please, just hold me! I want to sleep in your arms, please." Loreen poured out everything she wanted to say without even knowing it. At this moment, she wasn't even listening to herself, but the only thing she was clear of was that she wanted him to hold her. She needed his comfort. She felt completely alone and empty.She sniffed and sobbed silently. Her eyes flickered when she felt no reaction from Adepe , and she proceeded to move closer to him, but her hand accidentally nudged on Adepe 's injury and his face grimaced a bit. She drew back immediately and glanced up at him. "I am so sorry. I didn't mean to." She apologized and immediately turned around to
The shadow took two steps back as a result of the impact and coughed slightly. He patted off the dust on his body and adjusted his clothing.Alex raised his eyes, and his face darkened the moment they fell on the silhouette. His hands balled into tight fists and trembled. "Nirmolak!" His cold, chilly voice blended in with the wind howling around them as he gazed at a fine young man whose short hair was neatly combed back and brown flawless skin draped in white clothing.The shadow, who was naturally Nirmolak, shrugged and grinned with a leisurely look on his face. "Alex, it's been so long." He smirked as his pitch-black pupils stared at Alex, who was panting heavily as he slowly returned to his human form. "How have you been?"To calm himself down, Alex took a deep breath and brushed his hair back
Adepe inhaled and exhaled, then glanced down at his belly. It was indeed healing at a fast pace. Well, that's what you get for having the blood of an Alpha running through your veins. You would heal faster no matter what wound it was. He would have healed pretty much faster if it weren't for the fact that this was a very deep wound and at three different parts.He stood up from the couch and strolled to the elevator, which took him to the 2nd floor. He walked out when the door opened and ambled to his room.The moment he pushed the door open, his body stilled as his eyes fell on Loreen, who was gazing out to the horizon, draining of colors as though the darkness could take over the world.She unfolded her arms and took a deep breath, which he could feel was quite pessimistic. His eyes fluttered at

She drew back immediately and glanced up at him. "I am so sorry. I didn't mean to." She apologized and immediately turned around to avoid his expressionless gaze.Her low whimpers flew into Rick's ear, and his stern face instantly became tender. He let out a soft sigh and
A few minutes passed, and Loreen walked out with her body draped in a short white towel and her hair wrapped up with a towel as well.Her eyes fell on Adepe , who sat on the sofa with crossed legs and his phone in his hand. She glanced at his hair, which was scattered on the couch, and she guessed he was waiting for her.She strode to him and signaled him to the chair with a small tilt of her head. Adepe nodded and stood up from the divan, then strolled to the seat in front of the wide mirror at the table and sat down.He peeked at Loreen through the mirror and watched her take care of his hair. She gave it a comb and brushed it, then let it fall. "Do you want it in a ponytail? I can't band it up into a bun because it has become too long now, and even if I do, it will look quite messy." Loreen gazed at him through the mirror with a questioning expression on his face."Alright." That was all he said to her and crossed his legs as his eyes watched her. Loreen nodded and pulled his h
The men nodded and clasped a long chain around her wrists, then fastened them to either side of the tall rod affixed to the floor, her hands spread to each side.They pulled out a full bucket of cold water and poured it on her, causing Lady Cathryn to raise her head with her eyes dilated and inhale sharply as though she was at a loss of breath."You wanted to spell the death of my woman, my beloved wife, the only thing that I cherish in life..." Adepe tskd and relaxed comfortably on his silver seat. He interlocked his hands and glanced at Alex with his destructive sword-shaped eyes.Alex slightly bowed and turned to the two men. He waved at them, then took a deep breath as he stepped back.With a long whip-like chain that had tiny steel spikes on its body, the two men swallowed hard and raised it with slight concern in their eyes. The chain bashed Lady Cathryn's skin without mercy, and a scream of pain escaped her lips and unbearable tears welled up in her eyes.Another round of wh
Adepe arrived home a little late the next day and ambled into the mansion with a lackadaisical expression on his face. He indifferently nodded at the greetings of the maids and went up to the second floor, then strolled to their room.He opened the door in expectation of seeing his little wife, but what he saw was an empty room with only her scent lingering in the air, indicating that it hadn't been long since she left the room.He left the compartment and headed downstairs to seek the maids. However, he still got no information from them, as they were completely unaware of her whereabouts.He waved his hand at them to take their leave, and he walked to the sofa in the living room to sit down. He pulled his phone out of his pocket and took a moment before deciding to dial her number. It dialed for a while, but there was no answer. Rather, it kept repeating, switched off. His brow creased as he suddenly felt worried, and he made a call to Alex, who also reported not knowing of her w
As though time had suddenly stopped for a moment, Loreen's breathing became unsteady and her gaze became lost. "I-i.""Loreen, tell me the truth. Don't lie to me." Victor's face became serious, and he stared at her.A complicated expression emerged on her face, and she tried to ask herself if she still loved Shawn or not, but the first thing that appeared in her mind was an image of Adepe . His hugs, his smile, his laughter, and his voice echoed in her mind, and she couldn't help but clutch her head in her hands. Why is she feeling this way? Why is her heart saying nothing? Why is she not able to picture Shawn but instead pictures Adepe , whom she hadn't even thought about just now? Why was his deep voice and laughter reverberating in her mind? Just why?!!!Does she really have no feelings for Shawn anymore? Does her heart belong to someone whom she doesn't want to admit that she was falling for?Her hands trembled, and she grabbed the coffee on the table and gulped it all down. Sh
