The director's gaze darkened as it dropped to her hand gripping his arm.

A slow, greasy smile spread across his face.

"Sadie... you know I've always had a soft spot for you." His voice lowered. "If you're willing to... cooperate... I can make this happen."

As he spoke, his fingers slid over hers.

Revulsion hit her instantly.

The feel of his clammy touch made her stomach twist.

But then-

She thought of the bet.

There was no way she was going to kneel outside and slap herself a hundred times.

    Silence.Then-Clatter.The phone fell to the ground."T-T-Theron... are you serious?! Or are you joking with me?!"Darrel's voice was shaking so badly he could barely speak.Theron narrowed his eyes."Do you think I would joke about something like this?"A sharp gasp came through the phone.Darrel was spinning in circles, completely dazed, like his entire worldview had collapsed.Scarlett glanced at Theron."Darrel?""Yes.""He knows now?" she asked lightly. "He must be shocked."A faint smile appeared."I actually wanted to tell him earlier... I just didn't know how."Theron didn't respond.But inwardly, he regretted ever agreeing to help Darrel pursue her.That was probably the most foolish decision of his life.Good thing Scarlett had no interest in him.Otherwise-Darrel wouldn't even get the chance to exist.At that moment, there was a knock on the door."Come in,

    Pain.Even in her sleep, Scarlett felt like her body was being torn apart.Her brows twisted tightly together as cold sweat covered her forehead.Theron sat beside the bed, carefully wiping away the sweat with a warm towel.His handsome face was filled with undisguised heartache.Scarlett was dreaming.Fragments of the past blurred together chaotically in her mind.Five years ago...Someone had secretly drugged her.She remembered feeling unbearably hot and weak, trapped alone in a locked room.By the time she finally escaped, a hand suddenly grabbed her and dragged her into another room.Her vision had been blurry from the fever and drugs.The last bit of consciousness told her-it should have been James.After all, he was the one who had asked her to meet him there.She remembered being thrown onto the bed roughly.After that...everything became unclear.When she woke up the next morning, he

    "Where are you now?" Scarlett asked."You've already reached Blackstone Fortress? I'm still in Lystra with Uncle Victor mobilizing reinforcements. We'll be boarding military aircraft immediately.""Until then, hold the line no matter what."After ending the call, Scarlett looked up and realized Victor was staring at her in complete shock.She gave a faint sigh."Sorry for keeping this from you, Uncle Victor."Victor looked utterly shaken."You... you're really the Commander of Obsidian?"Even now, it still felt unbelievable.The girl Theron had brought back from the capital...was actually the legendary Commander of Obsidian Unit.But once the initial shock faded, everything suddenly made sense.Her terrifying skills.The way His Excellency treated her.Why Theron protected her so fiercely.Every strange and unbelievable thing finally clicked into place."There's no time to explain right now," Scarlett s

    When Scarlett woke up again, she found herself back at the Cross family villa.She was lying in Theron's bed."You're awake."Hearing the man's low voice, Scarlett turned her head slightly.Theron was sitting beside the bed.He was still wearing yesterday's clothes.His usually immaculate hair had become slightly messy, a few loose strands falling over his forehead.Rather than ruining his appearance, the disheveled look only made him even more dangerously attractive."You stayed here all night?" Scarlett asked as she slowly pushed herself upright."You had a high fever last night," Theron replied calmly. "The doctor said it might spike again during the night, so I stayed to take care of you."As he spoke, he reached over and touched her forehead gently."The fever's gone now."The moment his hand touched her skin, Scarlett suddenly felt her heartbeat quicken slightly.Even her forehead felt strangely hot."I need

  • From Prison To Power: Rise Of The War Goddess   Drowning

    The moment she hit the water, her body sank almost immediately.She didn't even struggle.The freezing water swallowed her whole.Cold.Heavy.Suffocating.The feeling was horrifyingly familiar.Fragments of memories surfaced uncontrollably in Scarlett's mind.Back when she was little, she had lived alone with her father.One day, after a violent storm, the river near their home had flooded.She had gone looking for her father--and accidentally fallen into the river.Just like now.Darkness.Silence.The crushing feeling of water stealing away her breath.She vaguely remembered someone jumping in to save her back then.Splash-Another body dove into the pool.Just as Scarlett's consciousness was beginning to fade completely, she felt someone pulling her into a powerful embrace.Closer.Closer.Then warm lips pressed against hers.Even in her haze, she knew who it was.

    The moment His Excellency spoke, both Mr. Houston and Mr. Lincoln nearly buckled at the knees.The color drained from their faces.Meanwhile, Cara and Elisa stood frozen in place like terrified statues, not daring to move a muscle.After all, this entire disaster had started because of them.Originally, they had only wanted to publicly humiliate Scarlett by ripping her dress apart.Who could have imagined things would spiral this badly?In the eyes of the two family heads, His Excellency's anger was most likely because tonight was Hilary's coming-of-age banquet, yet Cara and Elisa had chosen this exact moment to cause a scene.And at the center of it all... was Scarlett.If they wanted to salvage the situation, they could only start with her.The two patriarchs exchanged a glance. One look was enough."Miss Scarlett," Mr. Houston said first, lowering his pride without hesitation, "we sincerely apologize. We failed to discipline our d

    The truth landed like a knife.Sadie's heart lurched.She shot a nervous glance at Mossa, afraid suspicion might finally crack through.But before she could defend herself, Mossa spoke first."Do you think everyone is as manipulative as you?" Her tone was icy. "Sadie is my dau

    Scarlett glanced back at the room.Blankets half dragging on the floor. Dust everywhere. It looked like no one had touched it in years."This is what you call cleaned?""Aunt Fia!"A woman in her forties walked out from the kitchen. "Miss, you called me?"Her tone was pol

    Half an hour later, Theron's phone rang again.This time, it was his grandfather."My dear grandson! So, did you meet the girl? Well? She's beautiful, right? Perfect match for you, isn't she? I told you my eye for talent is unmatched-""I already have someone I like." He cut him of

    James nearly fell.Furious, he looked up to see who had dared touch him.And then he froze.The man standing there was devastatingly handsome, standing at around 6'2".Sharp brows. Dark, intense eyes. Impeccable posture.James had always considered himself attractive-most
