I knocked on the door of his office before I entered. Khein was busily typing on his laptop while at the same time reviewing the paper I had given towards him earlier."Coffee?" I asked. He barely shook his head and uttered a quick no as he focused on his work. I smiled without him seeing it and respected his space and time. I exited his office right away then went to my own office to do my duty as well.The day was long and very hectic. But that didn't make us have overtime. We value our personal time more than anything else in this world and we promised to always give enough time to spend with each other.After having dinner at a restaurant, we just took a shower then slept. We were both tired of doing anything we usually do such as watching documentaries together, talking about some random books we had read, various car models, guns, etc. But this time, we just laid down and slept peacefully.This has become our routine for the next couple of days. Work has been piling up lately,

"Excuse me?" Amanda raised her brow as she questioned Rosette, who practically was fuming mad right now.Honestly, Rosette could see nothing but blood. She just wanted to grasp those blonde hair and slammed the bitch's face on the table right before them.How dare this woman touch what is hers? All her life Rosey wasn't used to sharing things that belong to her. Their parents spoiled them as much as they possibly can and never ever did they feel like they had to adjust to other people.Because in the very first place. It's given that they're treated as princes and princesses. People are below them. And this?The audacity of this blonde girl to even question her without thinking she can get away with it that easily.Crossing her arms on her chest, Rosey composed herself and calmly leaned her back against the backrest. Her sophisticated red lips formed into a tight-lipped smile, her brow arched into a 180 degree angle, and her eyes were cold as the weather in Antarctica.Just the sight

"I'M VERY SORRY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED. DID IT SCARE YOU?" he asked as soon as they got home. He took her hand and held it in his. Khein had that worried look in his eyes as he stared at her.She forced a smile and nodded her head. "No, it's okay..."Actually, it wasn't new to her. She even watches live torture before whenever her brother get pissed. It was her cup of tea to watch bloodshed, but it's not this way.Her already ruined night just got ruined by some goons that she didn't know who was behind. The incident earlier disturbed her more than she could ever imagine. Did they find her? What are they gonna do?As much as possible, Rosette didn't want to drag Khein to her miserable and chaotic life. She didn't even want to tell him about her past. So to be haunted by where her bloodline runs to, she's scared.She's scared for his life. His life with her. Her life with him."I shouldn't have brought you to that restaurant. I'm sorry," he was really apologetic of what happened. He was g

Khein's lips turned into a smirk. His eyes were cold and unsympathetic. One look at him could send anyone trembling in fear. The intimidation that was emitting out of him was enough to suffocate everyone around him."Tsk, what a catch," he uttered, his eyes narrowing towards the person kneeling before him with blood running through his head and to his filthy body. "To think of a poor, small boat trying to catch a big fish in the middle of the ocean is really ambiguous. You're absolutely making me laugh.""Fuck you!" the man cursed, his eyes were full of hatred towards the before in front of him. Pity because Khein was as merciless as he was, and he doesn't give a fact at all. "Release me right now!""What am I? A fool?" Khein said, his brow arching up. He let out a chuckle then shook his head. "But since I am a very kind person, I will spare your life in return for your cooperation."Khein squatted down, leveled to the man's face. With a serious voice, he asked, "Who sent you?"But the

"W-Why... How..." she stuttered. Fear was evident in her eyes as she stared at the person standing right in front of her.The woman tilted her head, eyes void of emotions. She looked at her as if her existence is nothing in this world. As if she's nothing but a loser.Rosette couldn't help but to take a step back, her heart was beating fast and loud against her chest. She could hear voices in her head, haunting her with unwanted memories of the past that she thought she had already buried on her way to her new life.But it kept haunting her.The woman took a step forward. Her heels were making loud sounds as it hit the floor. And the sound itself was making Rosette deaf. "S-Stop. Don't get close to me," she uttered. Her hands were literally shaking.She don't know what to do. She felt trapped, and for some reason, she's sweating cold.This shouldn't be that bad, right? After all, everything was already in the past. They can no longer control her and play with her emotions.Right. Tha
