“Do you like this?”
“No.”
“How about this?”
“Not either. I don’t like strawberries.”
“Chocolate?”
“Sort of. Maybe that’ll work.”
“Okay. Just wait for a second, and I will put some chocolate ice cream in a bowl.”
I nodded then Reign walks out from my sight. I let out a deep sigh. It’s been three days since the incident happen where I almost lost my life again on Sharmon’s hands and was saved by Reign.
After that night, Reign told his men to find Sharmon, but she’s already gone in the City. They tracked her and got the information that she already flees out to foreign countries. Reign wanted to follow Sharmon with his connections, but I stopped him.
Since she’s already
“Oh, stop that, sweety. You just had surgery last week, and you need to take a rest for the whole three months.”I muttered when Russiana pulled her things out from the bag, “But I want to study, Ruru,” she sadly said. Is sigh and sat on matching her height. I reached for her cheeks and gently cupped them as I stared at her eyes.“There’s a time for that, okay? Ruru already asked your teacher about your leave of absence for five months. They agreed because of your health issues. Do you want me to get mad at you?” Russiana shrugged her head gently, “That’s good, then listen to Ruru, okay?” she nodded. I brought my lips to her forehead and planted a kiss in there.After Russiana put her things back inside the bag, we got out of her room. I looked at her as I hold her tiny hands. I can’t stop smiling, and my heart was now at rest from being
“Where are you?” Reign asked from the other line while my phone was in between my ear and my shoulder. I was currently at a Department Store, holding two paper bags. “I’m at a store.” “What store?” “It’s a secret.” “Ruchee.” “I’m doing an important thing. Gotta go. See you later; I love you.” I did not wait for Reign’s response and immediately turned off the phone, so he couldn’t contact and disturb me later. I might spill out everything I have of my plan. I sigh and then looked at the saleslady in front of me. “Would you like to make that on our special room, ma’am?” I nodded then smiled at the saleslady. “That would be great.” After she showed me and take me to the room she’s talking about, the saleslady left. There are some people inside the room, and when I
WARNING: Mature content ahead!—Three years later...“Congratulations, my love for passing the Nursing Licensure Examination.”Reign’s introduction as I set my foot inside our house. Two years ago, Reign and I decided to build our own home. Of course, I insist that I will share the expenses since I still have my savings for Russiana’s operation. Reign paid all the fees three years ago at the hospital without me knowing.I looked at my wristwatch and turned back my eyes to him, “It’s already late. Why are you still awake?” I said as I walked inside our room while passing Reign.“I’m waiting for you, my love.”“You don’t have many things to do in the Clan?” Reign shrugged. Reign was attractive with his tiny beards. It’s making my heart thump like in a
I opened my eyes, and my vision was dark. Something was covering my eyes. I was blindfolded. I felt the sweat flowing from my forehead down to my cheeks. My chest was throbbing so fast that it seemed it could explode any second. I can hear so much noise coming from the outside where I currently was. It annoys my ear, and the smell of the place is somewhat nasty. I don’t know, but different scents are hovering around coming from cigarettes, alcohol, and there’s one unfamiliar but disgusting smell. This place suffocates me and a little cold. I tried to remember what happened earlier and why I ended here. Maybe, it’s already five hours after what happened, or I’m not sure how many hours had passed. I just remembered walking out from the bar I’m working on, then suddenly, someone grabbed and forced me to enter a black car. I moaned. My nape suddenly hurts. Whoever did this to me, I’m sure that this
“What do you think you’re doing?” I asked when the two of them grab both of my arms, but it was gentle, like they were giving me extra care. I suddenly felt throwing up. Oh, this again. My head was spinning a little. Is it because of the noisy environment or the nasty mixed smells? I’m working at the bar and used to the smells of alcohol, but that was a luxurious one where tight regulations existed. “Just come with us,” man number one said and then dragged me along with their pace when they started walking in the door’s direction. Struggling won’t help. I feel my body getting weak as we’re getting near the door. The two men escorted me like I was a president’s first lady. I’m puzzled about everything. This unfamiliar place and the reason behind this abduction. What’s my obligation to be put in this tight spot of trouble? As far as I can remember, I don’t have any de
I opened my eyes. Clanking glasses and chatters greeted my consciousness. It was like earlier, when I gained and found myself at an unfamiliar place. The only difference is I’m not blindfolded. My head was in pain when I tried to look up. It’s strange. I badly want to move, but my body is frozen to the ground. What’s happening? Surprisingly, I found myself chained. My hands were tied upward by chains while my body pinned in this metal wall, and I’m still wearing lingerie. I started roaming my eyes, and there, I found myself in a dark place again. Surrounded by black linen curtains and chained on a metal wall, what are they planning? Do we have a ritual? Sacrificial? Is voodoo still exist in this era of twenty? My situation was becoming hilarious. I can also feel something on my face. Was I wearing a mask? That explains why I had this nar
“That was a brilliant penny from the famous bidder in the underworld!” The bid caller said as if his voice was praising a powerful being. Penny? What the heck. I didn’t take my eyes off in front, directing at the back where the baritone voice came. My whole body won’t stop shaking, and the pain in my hands was getting worst. I’m secretly struggling from the chains. It must be it. This strangest feeling inside me, yet it still hasn’t disappeared. If my body is this weak, I can’t save myself out of here. I need to redeem my energy, but in this current situation, much impossible. “Sure thing for a very valued item, Cain. I can even stake everything to redeem the freshly maria,” the man said and then take another sip from the glass of wine he’s holding. What? Freshly maria? I didn’t even agree to be sold and to be in this place! Much worse, to be addressed as an item!
I feel soft cotton brushing my back, and when I open my eyes, a blinding light greeted me. My body is still weak, but it’s a lot better now, yet my eyes are still heavy. I forced myself to sat down since I just found myself lying in a soft cotton bed. Wait... laying? My head automatically turned, and my eyes roamed the place immediately. I was here unconscious and lying low while my body is weak. There’s a European luxury golden curtain hanging on my left side while it was gradually swayed by the wind coming from the outside. How nostalgic it is. Hot weather with dancing waves moving softly and reflected on the glass doors behind the luxurious golden curtain. I feel like I was in a different dimension. I can’t explain, but this current atmosphere is somewhat unrealistic. “Where am I?” I mumbled to myself out of nowh
