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

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. 

(FORSTERITE) I gulped at the question of Lansford because it just felt like he knew where I really came from. I really could not guess if he was asking because he did not know or he was simply testing me if I was telling him the truth or not. This was one of the things that somehow made me fear him… he was just one of the people I could not predict. Clearing my throat, I replied, “What do you mean by kingdom? I am not a princess or anything so coming from a kingdom is definitely not possible. What are you even thinking?” After washing the vegetables, I turned on my heels to leave the kitchen because I did not want to continue the conversation. It was a dangerous path to take so better yet retreat before this guy would hit me in the most unexpected time. However, upon turning away from the sink, I flinched upon seeing him standing before me. He flic

What happened the next day after Lansford found out about my true identity as a red fox, I did not really like what greeted me so early in the morning. I had a good night’s sleep indeed but upon leaving my room so I can head to the kitchen and find something I can cook, Lansford was in the living room. “Morning. What’s with the piles of papers around? Are you studying for an exam?” I asked. He did not say anything. He simply motioned me to sit beside him while holding a few documents I could not understand. Occupying the seat near him, he showed me a book with colored illustrations. If I was not mistaken, it was possibly a book for children. “Before we depart tomorrow, I will be teaching you how to read so you can survive on your own when you make future deals in my stead,” he said. I looked at him with a raised eyebrow. “Are you expecting me to learn new wri

For a minute, Lansford and I were in a staring contest. There was really nothing he could do to my wound since I already washed it clean and it was not that deep to cause any kind of infection. Moreover, he was a mere human being so he had no healing abilities to close the wound. He was probably doing this to show off and make me think that he was such a gentleman. Guh, after how he acted for the past few days, a day would never come for me to even consider him as a gentleman. “One…” He started to count which only made me roll my eyes before pushing him away from me. Not saying a word, I got up and sat on the edge of the bed with my back facing him. I gathered my long hair to the side just so he could get a clear view of the scratch. “It’s not that serious of a wound so there is nothing to worry about. I could still go and meet that dealer you wanted to do business with so don’t be to
