Hagen got out of the car as soon as he saw Camellia’s body lying on the shoulder of the road. He took a momentary breath, massaged his head, and then looked up to the sky while swearing softly before finally walking at his usual pace. There was not the slightest look of rush or worry when it was evident that the sun was very hot this afternoon.“Boss?” called Frank, who opened the car’s glass window and saw his boss approaching the stubborn girl.Even though he had told his boss not to have to come to see the girl, of course, no one could stop Blake Hagen.Hagen’s one hand rose into the air, and he motioned at his subordinates to stay in the car, making Frank make a hand gesture of surrender.When it was only a few steps away as he approached Camellia’s body, Hagen took out a cell phone and called Brown’s name. During the third ringing, there was the hoarse voice of his best friend, who seemed to be enduring pain.‘Good.’Hagen’s inner self while keeping an eye on Camellia’s body, whi
Hagen carried Camellia’s body across the yard to the door. He had trouble getting the keys to the girl’s house out of the under pocket of his pants as his hands were busy holding her.“Shit,” he cursed as the key nearly fell out of his grasp.Then, he also stared at Camellia’s sleeping face for a long time before finally fixing her position by laying her head on his shoulders.“You’re not heavy; don’t get me wrong, Princess. It’s just that...” Hagen muttered as he was busy turning the key at the door. Time and time again, he inhaled while growling as he did two activities at the same time. “It’s just that... I can’t hold you for too long.”Several times Hagen sighed as he felt the thing under his pants begin to form a tent.“Oh, shit,” he whispered as he fixed his pants, which were starting to smother. “It was tight,” Hagen muttered with a tightly clenched jaw.As soon as the door of the girl’s house opened, Hagen finally let out a sigh of relief. He also exhaled through his mouth, ma
The murmurs of conversation awakened Camellia.Gradually her eyes opened, and with a head that felt a little heavy, she also cast her gaze around.Camellia blinked her eyelids a few times to clear the still-fired vision, and that’s when she saw right in front of her a man sitting on a chair with a burger in his grasp.She observed the stranger, who was in his forties and ate silently. He did not once look at Camellia, who was now lying on the cold floor. Meanwhile, a television can be seen on the wall facing them.For a moment, Camellia gathered her consciousness, staring around intently at the dull walls and unkempt roof. She also realized that her body was on the dirty floor, which stopped her from screaming in disgust.Then, Camellia’s attention was distracted by the man in front of her.Instantly she feels thirsty, and then she can feel her throat and lips dry.When the man sipped a drink from the bottle that was on the table, the thirst that chastised her was excruciating.With a
As soon as the call ended, Camellia’s eyes widened instantly. With quivering eyes and wet eyelids, she looked at the man who kidnapped her.Her head shook quickly when she saw the man’s cruel gaze with his lips forming a straight line. Camellia could feel a dark energy coming from the man’s body, which made her instinctively curl up to protect herself.Now, the man’s face was red with angry eyes directed at the cellphone in his hand. And suddenly the flat object hit the wall behind Camellia’s head, making her suddenly release a long, hysterical scream.“It’s all your fault, Bitch!” exclaimed the man directly in front of Camellia’s face, which she had bowed her head to avoid the anger directed at her.Within seconds, she felt the heat on her cheek from a hard slap that echoed through the room.The sound of skin meeting skin, accompanied by screams, sounded in the entire room.“Do not touch me!” Camellia shrieked as she tried to dodge and drag her body towards the wall.She cursed Hagen
“What did you do to that girl?”A man in a black suit stood not far from Camellia’s lying body. He gently rubbed his chin and glanced at the man, who was now standing still near the table.With gritted teeth and a cynical tone, the man in question said, “I didn’t do anything to the girl.”Getting that answer, the man in a black suit raised his eyebrows while pointing towards the helpless body on the floor.“You almost killed her.”The man in the black suit walked up to the man in his forties, who had now chosen to remain silent.The look in the eyes of the man in the suit was extremely sharp, making anyone around lower their heads.“Look at the girl’s bruised body,” said the man in the suit as he patted the left shoulder of the man who had been torturing Camellia. “At a glance, people can see the cause.”The man stared at the forty-aged man’s hand with a flat expression. It made the old man swallow his saliva while his body shook slightly.“I-I’m sorry, I just...” he whispered as he l
The gentle stroke on the cheek made Camellia’s eyelids tremble. She moved slightly and searches around for the source of the touch. Camellia muttered in satisfaction and let out a soft sigh when the warm hand stroked her head and back.However, her forehead formed a subtle frown as the hand touched her bruise.Suddenly Camellia tried to keep her body away, followed by a flurry of pain that instantly stopped the touch of the warm hand in midair.And not long after, she heard a soft, soothing whisper.“Shhh...” which made Camellia turn her face to the source of the sound.With a blurred vision and heavy eyelids, she saw a faint shadow of a male figure.She was about to touch that face, but the man’s hand stopped her by clasping her fingers tightly.“Go to sleep, Princess,” whispered a baritone-heavy voice that made Camellia’s eyelids close again, yet she could still hear the melodious voice of the man singing a lullaby.“On a beautiful hill, there is a magnificent castle of radiant ligh
Camellia looked at the toe of her shoe nervously. With both hands squeezing the side of her blue knee-length skirt, she raised her head as soon as she heard a familiar voice.“Miss Duncan,” said a middle-aged man in a white coat who came out of a treatment room.Instantly, Camellia stood up. She gave a faint smile and greeted the doctor kindly.“Good afternoon, Doctor Hans,” she replied back.The doctor stared at Camellia’s face, which was still looking battered and blue. It made her stand uneasy, and she consciously lowered her head.Realizing that, Doctor Hans cleared his throat and motioned for Camellia to walk side by side with him.“Mr. Duncan’s condition has stabilized. You don’t have to worry about his condition,” the doctor said as he greeted several nurses as they passed by.Camellia just nodded and was relieved by her father’s improved state post-first surgery.“But we have to do the second surgical procedure, and we are optimistic that this will improve his health, Miss Dun
Camellia’s body jumped out instantly, and she quickly turned around only to find Hagen standing directly in front of her face.“Gosh! You surprised me!” Camellia squealed as she clutched her chest, while her eyes cast a sharp gaze.Hagen, who was very calm at the time, just gave her a flat expression. Unlike before, the man seemed to exude a cold aura that made Camellia’s steps retreat involuntarily.“You haven’t answered my question,” Hagen said as he observed Camellia’s bruised face.His eyes watched intently, making her feel uneasy.She cleared her throat and said, “You don’t need to know and stop bothering me.”Her head was slightly raised, trying to be arrogant, but she failed very miserably, because she simply froze as the corner of Hagen’s lips twitched and created a faint smile.“Hmm... Hmm,” Hagen muttered as he swept Camellia’s hair away from her face, which was about to cover her eyes. “Your hair grows so fast,” he said quietly, barely audible to Camellia, who was standing
