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
Her hand suddenly itchy as the urge to touch his face erupted in her. She slowly reached out her hand and her fingers tenderly grazed the scars on his face. "You look beautiful." She unknowingly whispered with a lost smile on her face.As though struck by something, Adepe abruptly stopped playing and opened his eyes, only to see his little wife seated on the piano with her fingers trailing on his lower face. His face puckered in displeasure, and he dropped the violin. He stood up from the stool and placed both his hands under her armpit, then gently lifted her from the piano and wrapped his arms around her to prevent her from falling. "You don't sit on the piano, understand?" He had her wrap her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist, then, as though carrying a little child, he walked out of the music room and to their bedroom.He shut the door behind them and strolled to the bed with her in his arms. He lowered his body to lay her down on the bed, but Loreen, however,
Loreen slid off her shorts and walked to the bathtub while still wearing her tank top. She slid into it and pulled the water pipe, then sprayed water all over her body. She left it in the bathtub and gently rested her head on the tub's edge.She closed her eyes as a deep breath escaped her nose and she spread her hands on either side...."Hello!" Loreen's voice echoed within the vast, dark room that had only a small amount of light seeping through a tiny window in the compartment. Her eyes darted around and her brow creased as she couldn't recognize her surroundings. "Is anybody here?" She asked, and a cold wind suddenly swept past her, as though someone had run fast past her.She hurriedly turned around, and the temperature of the room suddenly began to change from that of cold to hot. Drops of sweat began to rain down her face, and she initiated to glance around furiously. "Who's there?" Loreen turned to each side with vigilance in her eyes. She was sure that someone had run pas
Inside the bathtub was bloody water, and she had absolutely no idea where it came from. She would have thought it was colored perfume if she poured any into it, but she didn't and this was real blood!!Her body shivered, and she pressed her hand on the sink as she stared at the bloodstained water inside the bathtub. Could it be that... that dream was real? Wait!!!... She froze immediately, and her body began to shudder as something she didn't want to think of emerged in her mind.She slowly lowered her head with a breath of fear escaping from her nose and glanced at her body. The instant her eyes fell on her bare skin, a scream of disbelief and terror erupted from her throat, and she rushed towards the shower with her body trembling in panic.On her thighs were deep wounds that were oozing out blood and tainting the floor. She turned the shower on and began furiously scraping her body. "No, it's not real!! It's not real!" She vigorously shook her head as she told herself. 'It's not
A half-smile formed on his lips behind the mask, and a low sigh escaped from his mouth. He grabbed another bottle of alcohol to drink, but his eyes were suddenly drawn to two people seated at a table a distance away from him. He subconsciously dropped the bottle on the counter and turned his head to stare at the young man, smiling widely at a pretty young lady seated opposite him on the round table."Will you go out on a date with me?" The young man asked the young lady, and instead of a reply, the young lady's eyes darted around and she lowered her head as though shy.Beads of sweat began to drip from the young man's head as the wide smile on his face turned into a nervous one. He stared at the young woman with anticipation in his blue eyes. From his facial expression, one could tell that he had a hard time mustering enough courage to propose a date to the young lady.The young woman fiddled with her fingers as though thinking and an unexpected smile spread across her lips. "Mhmm.
