Ivory sat stunned, looking straight ahead with a blank stare. Her face was scowling, remembering the incident at the club that made her feelings mixed up. She was both upset and embarrassed. Benjamin must know what his men did to prevent Ivory from enjoying her party night a few hours ago. "So Black beat that guy up?" asked Benjamin as he handed Ivory a drink. Ivory reached for her glass but did not respond at all. She was still angry, of course. However, she did not know why she was upset at Black's behavior. Benjamin mandated the man to look after her, so it was only natural for Black to act when Max touched Ivory. "And you are angry with me when Black hit that man. Who was that man that you are so upset about, hm?" "No one, Ben. Just a guest who wanted to see my dance. And your overzealous boys are just embarrassing me!" Benjamin laughed at Ivory's scolding, which sounded so musical in his ears. He was fascinated with the girl, it seemed. "It is only natural for him to do th

"How did she escape?" Benjamin asked his men furiously. His eyes were red, not because of anger, but because that was Benjamin's proper form, and everyone knew it.However, they were no different from Benjamin; they were all from the same race.Benjamin was still trying to contain his rage. He did not believe that Ivory could just run away because she was still in her mermaid form, and there was no way she could get out of the aquarium without anyone's help."Have any of you helped her?" Again, the man intimidated the bodyguards he had assigned to guard the club. And one of them was Black, who he had specially appointed to be a special guard for Ivory.Everyone looked down at Benjamin's question. No one dared to speak up. Not even Black."You ... did you do anything to her?" Benjamin asked Black. The man raised his face and was ready to tell everything he could not believe."She ... suddenly disappeared from the aquarium, sir. I do not know what happened. She was originally hoping tha

Benjamin is still searching for Ivory and has yet to find her. None of his men dared to show up before finding Ivory. Because as clear as his orders, he will punish them if they return without results. Benjamin began to get frustrated and desperate. He never thought he was so crazy when he discovered Ivory was missing. Benjamin had never been so attached to any woman before. All just for fun—just like what he did with Ivory. Pleasure, enjoyment, fulfillment—all there was in his head. And for what Ivory gave him—even sexual gratification—he treated Ivory like a queen. He would fulfill whatever she wanted. Everything she wanted Benjamin would fulfill. Without any exception because he never knew who Ivory first met and left his heart with. That was his promise to Ivory. However, Benjamin does not expect the girl to run away, which means, Ivory is unhappy to be around Benjamin. But why? Hasn't Benjamin given and done everything? Does this have something to do with the two foreign gue

The four of them were silent as they enjoyed their dinner. Ivory's gaze wandered around the room when she didn't find Max in the dining room with them. She wondered where he had gone and if it had anything to do with what had happened between them.Mirielle had not opened up about Max as if she didn't care. Or as if Max was not a member of their family.Ivory forced a smile as Marion and William asked her many questions. And none of their questions referred to Max.Ivory then locked herself in her room when they had finished their dinner. She didn't care if the Reynz family considered her rude; she didn't want to communicate with anyone.Except for Max, perhaps—because he was the only one responsible for Ivory's mood this time.Max owed Ivory a lot of explanations.Ivory couldn't stand her feelings. She then intended to divert her mind to something more interesting to her. She swayed her steps towards the lake and took off each piece of clothing, and plunged into the water.She didn't

Ivory was still on strike with Max. She refused to even look at him when he came into her room to deliver the food because Ivory didn't even show up at the dining table when all the family members had dinner.Ivory chose to occupy herself with the knitting tools given to her by Gabriella Avery—a doctor from the vampire race who is Jeremiah's lover.Ivory preferred to focus on what she was doing at the moment rather than listening to what Max had been saying."Ivy, I'm talking to you. Don't you want to listen for a minute?" asked Max, who was getting annoyed.Ivory's anger made no sense to Max and would only make what they were trying to do this time end in vain. To be more precise, Max was trying to ask Ivory to stay with him. And Ivory's attitude clearly shows that she is reluctant to choose Max.What if the man again intends to kill Ivory as he once did? That's what Ivory is afraid of."I have no obligation to do what you say, Max. You're nobody to me!" she snapped as she continued
