When they reached the staircase, Vanessa was already standing near the landing with her arms crossed, speaking to one of the maids who looked both nervous and apologetic. The moment she heard footsteps approaching, she turned around. Upon seeing Victor walking beside Madam Sayor, genuine surprise flashed across her face before it quickly disappeared behind a faint frown.

"You are usually late," she remarked, raising a brow. "Is there a change in the wind for you to suddenly arrive on time?"

  • Defy Me If You Can   Wake up-III

    When they reached the staircase, Vanessa was already standing near the landing with her arms crossed, speaking to one of the maids who looked both nervous and apologetic. The moment she heard footsteps approaching, she turned around. Upon seeing Victor walking beside Madam Sayor, genuine surprise flashed across her face before it quickly disappeared behind a faint frown."You are usually late," she remarked, raising a brow. "Is there a change in the wind for you to suddenly arrive on time?"Victor had barely parted his lips before Madam Sayor beat him to it."Oh, let Victor do as he pleases." She waved a dismissive hand toward her granddaughter before gently patting Victor's arm. "You cannot possibly understand how difficult it is for someone who cannot see to arrive precisely on time."Vanessa rolled her eyes but wisely held her tongue.Jane, however, quietly lowered her gaze.She knew Madam Sayor had spoken with nothing but kindness. Every word had come from genuine concern, meant o

    Whatever, was it even her business? Once morning arrives she will go to the train station, she heard that with the newly built train it would quickly bring her to a faraway place, far away enough that it would take weeks, no, even months before anyone could find her. Somewhere nobody knew her name. Somewhere Victor's shadow could never reach.Slowly, Jane looked down at the coins in her pocket.Truthfully ever since she was taken by the kidnappers and sold off, she had always kept some money hidden on her person. It wasn't a lot but it wasn't little either. It was actually enough for her to buy a ticket and a wagon ride to leave. The money had always been her emergency fund, always prepared for this exact kind of situation, always waiting for the day she would finally have the courage to run. Over the years she had become almost obsessive about it. Whenever she earned even the smallest amount, she would secretly add to it. Whenever she spent even a single coin, she would immediately

    Noticing how something was about to turn into a dangerous fight, Julius stepped in almost immediately between his sister and Victor. He hesitated as he looked toward Vanessa before slowly turning his head back toward Victor. There was fear in his expression, not only because of the anger radiating from Victor, but because Julius could tell that something had changed in him. The Victor standing before them now wasn't the same Victor who had calmly walked out of the burning manor. His presence had become heavier, and even without being able to see his eyes clearly, Julius could feel the pressure coming from him. With great difficulty, he finally managed to speak, although his voice was as quiet as the wind."We can't find her.""You can't find her?"Victor repeated the words, not because he hadn't heard them properly, but because of how absurd they sounded to him. His fingers slowly curled into a fist, tightening until his knuckles cracked. Vanessa noticed the movement from the corner o

    The scrambling servants who had managed to survive tended to those who were in a far more critical situation. Some had their hands completely bitten off, while others had gotten away with only a few scratches across their bodies. Blood covered the ground, mixing with the dirt, ash, and broken pieces of furniture that had been carried outside in the chaos. Some servants were sitting against the walls while others were helping their wounded friends stay conscious, tearing pieces from their own clothes to use as makeshift bandages. There were even some who simply remained seated on the ground, staring blankly at the burning manor as though their minds hadn't yet caught up with what had happened inside. Nobody knew how many had died, and nobody dared to count. There were simply too many bodies left behind.The entrance of the manor was now spewing red flames, the fire spreading through the wooden structure and climbing toward the upper floors. Smoke filled the air, making some of the serv

    Knocking on the door had no use. Jane, who had just dangerously avoided the attack, was now surrounded by an even bigger problem, the burning fire. It was all around her, ready to eat her alive, and in that moment of panic, she could only look at the window and grit her teeth.The heat was becoming unbearable. Every breath she took felt like it was burning the inside of her lungs, while the thick black smoke made it harder to see anything clearly. The walls around her were already covered with flames, and the wooden floor beneath her feet had started to crack from the intense heat.There was no way out.The door was locked.Madam Sayor was behind her.And the only other escape was the window.It’s either dying from Madam Sayor or dying from falling. Either way was bad as the others, but with jumping she had the chance of surviving; even if it was only for a very little time.Jane looked down at the window.It was high.Far too high.Her stomach twisted just thinking about it.But stay

    Running backward, Jane tried to avoid the fire and quickly turned to the door, only to see it already closed. Her eyes widened in alarm. Did Vanessa not see that she hadn’t escaped? Maybe she had left thinking that she followed suit! Maybe Vanessa had assumed that Jane was right behind her and had already made it outside.Jane’s breathing became heavier as she stared at the closed door, her mind refusing to accept what was happening. There was no way she could be trapped inside here. Not with the fire spreading so quickly around her.Her hands scrambled to open the door, but no matter how much she tried to turn the doorknob, she could only hear a cold sound of click. She tried again, twisting it harder this time, but the door refused to move. She also stopped holding onto the doorknob as her hand stung from the heat that wrapped around the doorknob.She quickly pulled her hand toward her chest and stared at her palm. It was already beginning to redden from the heat. Jane swallowed har

    Jane rushed to the top of the staircase, her black loafers making a dull sound as she huffed, finally reaching the highest floor which took more time than she thought it would. A part of her even regretted looking too amazed at the mansion. What will that blind man do to her if she's late? Jane g

    "Anyway, I heard that you're going to be taking care of the young master from now on," Wren continued and Jane furrowed her eyebrows at the news. She knew she would have to do business to stay in this mansion, even though she doesn't want to stay, but she couldn't willfully dispose herself from wo

    "How was it, Stanley?"The voice came from a woman in her late thirties, her beauty accentuated by the golden jewelry adorning her and her hair styled into a high, elegant updo. Her eyes rested on the butler who had just returned after pushing Jane into the monster's lair, now standing once more be

    Her heart raced aloud. Only at this moment did she realized how the situation she faced was. The fact is, the butler had left her inside a room with a man, an adult man! The young master wasn't young as she had guessed, instead, he was a well matured, tall man with a frightening power on the grip t
