The moment I stood up there beside Giovanni with these eyes staring at me like I did the most terrifying choice in my life makes me want to go back where I came from. I did not expect to see them here, and I would never trust any of them.Some of these faces are familiar. Like I already saw them somewhere, getting in touch with me in everyday life. Maybe they were the ones I saw in the streets. But I am sure I already saw some of them."What is she here? No one is allowed here except for us!" A familiar voice came on the scene. It was her, Avria. The one who seems to hate me to hell."You know why I brought her here." Giovanni coldly answered her question. But that doesn't stop her from glaring at me. She stood up and walked in front of my face, disgustingly staring like I was some kind of a dirt she doesn't want to be in touch with."You are still that damn lucky girl huh? You're supposed to be dead right now. I wonder what luck you are carrying in your freaking life because I know y

"Now, what?" I asked him. He started tapping his fingers on the table while looking at me. As if he was thinking of something, or trying to figure out if he will tell it to me or not. If I need to know it then I should. "So I am just waiting my time here while my best friend is in dangerous situation, right?" I asked once again."She is under my observation, there's no way someone can hurt her there." Even though that was his response, I am still not sure if that is true. All of his people are here earlier so what he is telling me. "Then now tell me about how I am connected with all of your freaking games." I told him, no, I am ordering him. I looked straight in his eyes until a minute passed and he is still not talking about that thing. So I closed my eyes in annoyance and then sighed. "Yeah, what I am expecting from someone like you. I will go now, and don't ever take me somewhere again. I don't want to see you anymore if possible. " I told him and started walking away towards the d

This is it. I can't run away from this anymore, this is real and it's happening to me now. How can I actually think of stopping him if my body wants more, wants him to take my whole. I should be doing something now, running, shouting for help but I did not.He slowly moved his hips while he was inside me. I closed my eyes and bit my lips and my body sync with him. I can feel his touch and it's making me crazy. Every thrust he made made me feel out of my mind. He leaned down on me and kissed my lips, we kissed as if we were not running out of air. Every move, I was asking for more. He is like a drug I am taking now. And I am scared I can't run away from this after. My body is wanting more from him, we are both naked above this long table. Not thinking if someone might see us. We just feel alone.After some minutes or so he finally stopped. We are both panting, asking for air. That's when I realized the reason why I am here. I need to go to Haria. I hurried myself and dressed up, not

"I want you by my side and not to leave me as you are trying to do." He looks directly at me. "It was because of me. I tried protecting you and they saw you as my weakness, and now they were trying to get back at me through you. I can't let that happen." His words are like sharp things constantly pounding into my heart. I don't know if I will be flattered or what. There is a fear in my heart, but I have not been afraid since he was here. "You once got the pain you didn't deserve, I don't want to see you like that again." He added. "I want to protect you, Ariadne. Just let me do it." The sincerity in his voice was so serious that I can't help but trust him with this. My heart can't understand what it's feeling right now. "I did not know. I was actually putting my loved ones in danger." I said while holding Haria's hand."You need to protect yourself too, promise me." He told me that it made me look at him with confused eyes. What is it all about? I could not promise something I can't

"I already talked to him." I almost choked when I heard Gray talk.What? What did he know then? "What did he say?" I don't know but if I felt nervous while asking that question even though I am not supposed to, I know Giovanni won't spoil anything that might hurt me, I hope so. Gray might tell me not to see Haria again because of that if ever he knew something that was not nice towards what happened."He says he needs to protect us since there are some people who want to do inappropriate things, and they already did. He promised to help in making us safe. And from the meantime, he told me that you need to stay on his house so he could look for you, his people will remain here to see the surroundings so you don't have to worry about Haria." My heart beats faster when I hear that. He said that he was just helping us and that he will do everything to protect us all. I really don't know what's in his mind right now.He even told him for me to stay by his side until this is done. What is h
