A stinging pain woke her up in the morning. She tried moving her legs only to feel pain between her thighs. She can feel a heavy thing placed above her tummy and a breathing fanning against her neck. She abruptly opened her eyes and saw a broad chest of someone. She looked up at the person and cursed under her breath when she found outside it was Hunter. She turned to her other side and saw Elias, sleeping peacefully while his arms are wrapped around her waist.Realization hits her after a moment. Fear rushed through her as memories from last night came flashing inside her head like a broken disc, playing as if taunting her. Tears rolled down her cheeks. She slowly lifted Elias' arms and pulled herself up. Afraid to wake them. Every movement she made, she would flinch in pain.As soon as she sat on the bed, she glanced at them over her shoulders. Carson was nowhere to be found, Hunter and Elias are sleeping peacefully in the bed. She looked at the nightstand to see the time and bit he

"Clean everything. No one's gonna tell Dad and Millet what happened, did you get me?" Hunter said to their maids. They all nodded their head making him nods as well. He dismissed them before heading inside his room where Krysie is.His eyes landed on the woman sitting on his bed without any emotions. He feels relieved when her heart didn't stop beating that's why he brought her here in his room to make sure she's safe and never do stupid things again."Why did you do that?" she asked when he reached the bed. "Y-You could have just let me die."His jaw clenched. "If Atasha didn't bark that time, you could have died!""Why don't you just let me?" She looked at him with her teary eyes. "D-Don't torture me like this, Hunter. Just let me die..."His expression soften when he heard how soft and vulnerable her voice is. He took a deep breath and step forward. He was about to reach her arm when she flinch and pushed herself away from him, which stings.He sat on the bed and caught her hands.

“Calm down.” Hunter caressed her back.They are inside a private room in the same club. She didn't know how the hell did they end up being here. Margaux was out of reach and the only person she knows here is Hunter, the one who punched the guy who tried to touch her.“Here, drink some water.” The guy in a red shirt printed with 'fuck me' handed her.She stared at the glass that was offered in front of her. Her mind starts reminiscing the memories where Carson handed her the juice that contained the sex drugs to lose her mind.Hunter sigh. “There's no drug in the water. Drink to calm your nerves.”After Hunter said that, she immediately accepted the glass and drink it. Her knees are still trembling and she's just beside Hunter. His arms wrapped around her shoulders. He's kissing her head while murmuring "it's fine."“So what's your name?” the guy who handed her the glass asked.She gulped before giving him back the glass which immediately accepted. “Krysie.”“What the heck are you doin

"Are we clear, baby girl?" he whispered softly against her ear.Her breathing hitched. She closed her eyes when Hunter reached for her waist and pulled her close to his body. She gulped and inhaled his scent. God, she would probably be lying if she'll say she didn't miss his scent.“Answer me, Krysie.” He swayed their bodies in slow motion as if they're dancing in the middle of this room full of her portraits without a song.Krysie gulped and bit her lip as she slowly opened her eyes. Hunter's blue eyes locked on hers, and it's hypnotizing her every single minute. Her knees wobbled when Hunter leaned in and kissed her cheeks, near her ear.“You are bound to be ours, Krysie. Please understand that we can't let you change your name unless you'll marry us.” He sniffed her scent and his lips touched her ears. “Happy birthday, my baby.”Krysie can't process the words coming from Hunter's mouth. She's trying to understand but she can't. His words can't sink in. It's like listening to music

Krysie was busy scrolling on her feed. Hunter gave back her phone two months ago and it's been two months since that night happened. Today is the first week of December, and she's here in the school's canteen. Chilling and did not attend her last class because she was late.Saki wasn't around, and there are only a few students are here. It's past four, and she knows Carson is monitoring her through the school's CCTV. Perks of being the owner of the school.Someone suddenly landed a cup of Starbucks coffee cup on the table she's occupying. She lifted her gaze only to see the guy who owned that cup. It was the nerdy guy she find cute on her first day of school in biology. The one who made doodles!"Can I sit here?" he asked.Confused, she nodded her head and secretly roamed her eyes around. There are plenty of vacant seats in the cafeteria and he chooses to sit with her. That's odd."I'm Noah Knight, by the way." He smiled.His last name rang a bell inside her head. It's quite familiar,
