I immediately pushed Kane away. "Nope. This guy is just messing with me. By the way, should we celebrate today since we have a couple with us now?" I immediately changed the topic. Thankfully, Eduardo answered. "Yes. Please enjoy this day with us." Alcohol and some snacks were served. The party was private and small. But even though we are only less in numbers, we have some quality time. Kane and I did not drink much because we have classes tomorrow early. We excused ourselves while the rest were drinking merrily. After I took my bath and changed into my night clothes, a knock sounded. I opened it without much thought. So I was a bit stunned when I saw Kane at the door. His clothes were changed as well and he smelled of soap. His hair was down. He looked hot and charming for someone who was going to sleep. Oh my. This time of night was truly dangerous. I am afraid my thoughts would run wild. "What's going on?" I tried to calm myself and think about being a good girl. Please

As I looked into his eyes with my own dazed eyes, Kane's eyes turned several shades darker.That soft and gentle gaze suddenly turned fiery. I could see his desire, affection, and burning passion. He held my waist tightly and dive down to meet my lips once again.It was not a gentle kiss.But a passionate rough one.Did I...wake a beast somehow?Kane kissed me so hard that I couldn't catch my breath. My knees weakened as he forced his tongue on the way in and ravaged mine.Kane was an insanely good kisser."Mmm." I could not help but moan as the tingling sensation traveled down to my spine and stomach.It felt weird. It was like...something hot and burning was traveling on my whole body. Something itchy that I couldn't describe.I clung on to Kane. When Kane left my lips, I breathed hard. However, before I catch my breath, he dives once again. Capturing my lips and licking the roof of my mouth."Mhm!" It was sudden. Kane's hot tongue gave me a sensation that made me full and thirsty a

The days passed quickly. However, I have never once forgotten my last call with Anna. When would the Mckenzie look for me? It would be best if I could ask Anna for the updates. But ever since she last called me, she did not reach out to me again. This made me anxious and on tenterhooks all the time. "What's wrong?" A warm hand covered my forehead. "You look pale and gloomy. Not only today but in the past few days too." I looked up at Kane. He handed me the fresh juice he had made. I did not notice him entering my drawing room. Am I too focused on my thoughts that I did not notice this charming man beside me? "Is the comic giving you trouble?" "No. I am happy working for the comics. Maybe I just strained my eyes too much." I saved my work and turned off the tablet. I preferred talking to Kane face-to-face like this. Just looking at him, made my troubles momentarily disappear. He urged me to drink the fresh juice he made. The sweet and sour orange juice moistened my throat.

The sound of the violin echoed throughout the whole venue. Anna played the music piece Caprice 24 by Niccolò Paganini which was said to be the hardest violin piece ever. I have been locked up and starved because of this music piece several times in the past. I could barely play the first verse while Anna mastered it quickly. She become more splendid in playing this piece as time passed. As the string of the violin get intense, memories of my unfortunate childhood resurfaced in my mind. The most gifts I received in my childhood were musical instruments. There were some mixed up sometimes- such as my favorite doll, Elizabeth. But it could only be counted in one hand. Victoria trained us at an early age to become music prodigies and to live up to Mckenzie's reputation. Her method worked on Anna since my sister liked music and she was drawn to it. Anna was talented and inclined to music too. However, I am different from her. Ever since I could remember, I am always drawn to color

The car drove into the familiar mansion.It was the place where I spent my bitter childhood and early teens. The place where my insecurities fester and shackle me to restrain. It was my prison.The Mckenzie mansion.Looking at the big mansion, nothing much changed in the past year. It was still dull and dreadful as ever.Returning to this place did not give me any nostalgic feelings.The guards lead me to the waiting room. I waited there for a long time but no one came. Not even a single person came to serve me some snacks or drinks.It was way passed lunchtime and I got hungry. It was impossible for the Mckenzie to care about the rebellious daughter they had just brought if she had eaten or not. It was also futile to go out since the room was locked from the outside. I could only wait until the owner of this house decided to meet me.At that moment, my phone rang.It was Kane.Seeing Kane's name, all the depressing feeling that this house and the people inside here brought me dissip
