LOGIN“I just wanted to make sure my father was okay,” Svanna said—almost feeling how her tongue was so heavy.“She's lying. I saw her bringing a lot of food down to the dungeon.”The worst-case scenario was forgetting about Yohana’s presence. That woman was clearly still here. Pitting Nightroe against her to provoke a more painful form of anger.“My father hasn’t eaten since you locked him in the dungeon. I just want to make sure he has enough strength to survive.”Svanna struggled desperately to control herself and stay calm, even though she knew… her heart would end up far more shattered when Nightroe gave a cynical smirk.“Survive? Do you think I’m going to kill him?” the man asked, almost in a whisper.Perhaps it was just a trap. Svanna dared not say anything, only shaking her head as a hint. It was possible… until Nightroe discovered Russol Sullivan’s whereabouts and confirmed his father was safe; Heldfan would be the one sacrificed, because after all… the mi
Svanna’s attention was fixed straight on the scene there. She had just finished her bath. She never expected to find something unusual. Yohana had no right to sneak into her room quietly. Moreover, the woman looked frozen while clutching something.A fear Svanna couldn’t control was rising within her. Various thoughts were racing through her mind, and she imagined that perhaps Yohana had clearly found something there—among the piles of her books.“What are you doing?” Svanna asked, stepping closer.Yohana’s silence and the way she looked at her when she turned around sparked many unexpected speculations. Svanna’s steps continued to approach tentatively, but she soon realized that something bad was about to happen.In the woman’s hand… a necklace chain was visible, part of it dangling. How could this be…Svanna reacted quickly, wanting to snatch her necklace back, but… it seemed Yohana had anticipated this from the start, so she dodged immediately.“Nightroe a
“Ms, are you sure you want to do this?”Time and again, the same question kept coming out of Alina’s mouth. The woman looked so frightened as she took in the eerie silence surrounding the kitchen. Svanna understood the urgency of her concern. It was a huge risk for them to choose to ignore Nightroe’s orders. The man might do something crazy they could never have imagined.However, Svanna was prepared to face anything as a basic act of courage. She couldn’t let her father starve to death. Since last night, Nightroe hadn’t allowed anyone to go down to the dungeon to bring anything—or at least a glass of water to drink.Yeah, Svanna hoped her resolve would—well, at least yield some results. Because she’d regret it even more if she didn’t try at least once.“Calm down. Everything will be fine,” Svanna said after all the food, fruit, and a few bottles of drink had been neatly arranged on a tray. She smiled at Alina; she felt a slight need to reassure the woman so she woul
“Have you heard anything about Nightroe?”Alina was the only one Svanna could at least count on to quietly gather information, since she was close enough—as a friend—to Alex, the personal driver who usually accompanied Nightroe.Besides, ever since Nightroe stepped out of the mansion, Svanna hadn’t been able to find out anything. She’d given up and ended up stranded here. She waited for the moment Alina turned toward her, then smiled and said, “I haven’t gotten much information, Ms. But what I do know is that Mr. Nightroe will be back soon.”It was a coincidence when Svanna detected the sound of an engine from outside. They were indeed in the living room. She immediately peeked out. Slightly startled when she saw for herself how Nightroe’s men were forcing Heldfan out of the car, then dragging the middle-aged man through the front door, as if her father had been caught red-handed committing a crime. Svanna couldn’t let that continue. She immediately followed and hug
"Don, we’ve received word that the private jet carrying the Big Boss on his way back to Italy has crashed."That piece of bad news trapped her in a small room, and then the bomb explosion made things even worse. Svanna was too terrified by the news. Unable to control herself, she eventually burst into Nightroe’s office.She had no intention of eavesdropping. She was just... coincidentally exploring the corners of this mansion and accidentally passed through a room with various serious restrictions for her. However, hearing the bad news about the safety of Russol Sullivan and Heldfan... it all became something difficult to comprehend. Svanna no longer cared about the rules; nor did she pay much attention when Nightroe seemed surprised to find her there, since the man himself hadn’t had a chance to respond to anything Dorotheus had said.“What’s going on?” This time, Svanna fired off all her questions at once, making the atmosphere around her spiral out of control. She truly couldn’t
“Not yet, sir. I haven’t been able to find it. The necklace isn’t anywhere in this mansion. If it were here, we probably would have found it when we moved all of your and Mrs. Sullivan’s belongings.” Svanna stopped in her tracks; she needed to hide, at least, when she faintly overheard Nightroe and Alina’s conversation. It was still about the same necklace. She swallowed unconsciously. Partly out of fear that at any moment Nightroe might discover the necklace’s whereabouts and level all sorts of false accusations.However, there was one thing she needed to know....Why did Nightroe care so much? What was so special about the necklace? Was there something behind it? Svanna didn’t recall ever sharing any fond memories with Nightroe regarding the necklace.Of course, there would never be an answer unless she tried to find out directly. The problem was, Svanna was still confused about where to start. Quietly, she peeked again. She felt relieved to see that Nightroe had already walked a
"You're so tight."Again. That's what Nightroe said when Svanna didn't get a clue when the man had stripped off her thin clothes and was now... trying to penetrate her down there.Svanna swallowed hard after half of his was inside her body, while Nightroe's hips continued to push tentatively. It co
Svanna could hardly remember what kind of cake Nightroe wanted—long ago... a long time ago, and now she had to face the moment when the request for lots of strawberries was something new to accomplish.She just needed to be a little careful. Didn't want to make any mistakes when arranging the brigh
"Bring some change of clothes here."And he added after finding that she was still here.Svanna blinked rapidly. She immediately did whatever Nightroe said. She was in such a hurry that she had to swallow hard, watching as the man seemed to have serious trouble trying to unbutton his shirt."Let me
"I didn't lock you out. Your room has been specially prepared.""I don't like sleeping alone."It was undeniable. Nightroe's deep voice was full of protest. Svanna understood, maybe Nightroe was used to sleeping next to Yohana and now he needed, at least, a replacement."You can ask your guard to a
