I haven't seen Thane for a few days now. After the incident at the restaurant, I guess that time was the trigger. I don't even know how Thane is doing right now. After arriving at the penthouse, he just left without letting me in.Maybe Thane was going to settle the dispute that had just happened. I heard his words in the car at that time. There was fear when I heard that Thane would retaliate against those who had attacked him, but on the other hand, Thane's strength was not in doubt.After that, until now, there was no news that Mia gave me about Thane. Thane didn't want to tell me about his current situation. "Huh... this atmosphere is getting boring like before. I need to distract myself so I don't drown in the situation," I muttered as I looked up at the darkening sky behind the bedroom window.I've been doing some activities like before. Reading books, playing with my cell phone, and shopping online. Sometimes, I even went downstairs, where the gym was. Whenever I was there, it

I struggled as Thane began to play with his touch on my body. He kept attacking me, saying that I wanted all of this. No! I didn't even want this to happen.As much as I begged, Thane even seemed to cover his ears to not hear my whining. He didn't stop kissing my neck and inhaling the scent of my body. Ticklish, the taste made me uncomfortable.Several times, I felt his fingers touching my naked area. Rubbing gently and making my legs kick carelessly."Thane, please... didn't you promise?" I asked softly.My body felt weak since Thane was on top of me. No matter how much energy I exerted, it would be useless to fight him. That enormous body was right on top of me, without him thinking about how much weight I was carrying. Thane really seemed to be possessed by something. What he said and did, I don't think any of it was driven by consciousness."It's a lie if you say you don't want it, Elin. I'll prove that my body also wants the same thing as me," said Thane, who then held my hand an

My eyes woke up with a face that was both happy and embarrassed. This was all because Thane and I were still on the same bed, not wearing a single thread. There was only a blanket temporarily covering our bodies.I glimpsed Thane's face, still deep in sleep. He looked so charming and handsome despite not wearing his suit.Not wanting to get lost in my thoughts about last night's activities, I decided to get out of bed and walk towards the bathroom. Just as my feet stepped on the floor, my bottom felt painful. I grimaced and bit my lip to endure the pain."Akh, shit! Why is it only hurting now?" thought I, who was now trying to walk towards the bathroom even though I was a little limping.Upon entering the bathroom, I started preparing soap and some aroma therapy mixtures for the bath. Yes, I wanted to spend my bath time soaking. I mixed everything in the bathtub and stirred it a little so the foam would come out.After that, I got into the bathtub and soaked my whole body. Slowly, I r

[Thane's POV]I was always so busy with work that I couldn't stay by Elinor's side. I wanted her to want me immediately, but it wasn't easy. Every day, another job comes along when the other is done.Not once did they allow me to relax. Especially those groups that don't know themselves, they always show up and leave at will. Even going problems for me to solve.Before exiting the penthouse, I saw Elinor sitting in the living room relaxing. I saw her reading a magazine with a snack on the table. I guess the maid had treated Elinor well. I couldn't greet her because the problem was waiting for me to solve.I walked away, perhaps Elinor didn't notice. But I was always watching what Elinor did and felt. I'd go crazy if she didn't surrender to me soon.Just as I was about to get into the car, one of my confidants came and bowed briefly beside me. He was Darius, a man with a firm jaw, blue eyes, and jet-black hair. Darius always provided important information when he came, like today. I wa

[Thane's POV]I seem to look very cruel tonight. I could see that she was frightened by my whispered voice. Yes, I whispered threats so she would not respond to the men praising her. I couldn't resist the urge to touch her. I was afraid of breaking the promise I had made to her. I'd seen her so sad a few times, but I couldn't be friendly and made Elinor feel worse. However, until now she hadn't wanted me.I cursed my stiff demeanor. I don't know how to be excellent in front of someone I like?"So, who is this beautiful woman beside you, Thane?" This question aroused my emotions, especially when I knew who was saying it."She's my lover, Elinor," I replied firmly. My piercing gaze did not waver from his mischievous eyes that continued to stare at Elinor.I'd let my guard down too much, I shouldn't have brought Elinor out to be seen by the many ignorant eyes in this room. Moreover, those who greeted us were my enemies. My emotions were boiling, like I was on a stove ready to explode. "
