KAIRO He got behind the wheel. He was about to ignite his car. When the passenger side of the door opened. Danil got in the car and buckled himself. He creased his dark brows, "Where's your car, Dan?" He asked in a bored tone. "Your night wasn't pleasant. I guess," Danil smirked. He ignited the car and drove out of the garage, ignoring the topic. "What do you expect from an arranged marriage?" His shoulders deflated. He gripped the steering wheel with both hands, "I don't love her," He said. "But you like her," Danil retorted. He thinned his lips in a straight line, "She's beautiful." He sighed. "Oh! Your night must be painful," He smirked again. "Are you here to pull my leg?" He asked, shifting the gear. "There's an emergency meeting. Vincent would be there too. Brother wants us to attend the meeting," Danil's tone turned serious. He glimpsed at him and narrowed his eyes, "Is

He offered his hand. She cringed. She squinted at Rose, Isha, and Olivia. They were already heading out of the store with their husbands. Olivia was walking ahead of them. Her bodyguard, Todd was walking a few steps behind her drifting his gaze around and a few guards were already guarding out. Her heart flipped when he took a step closer and gripped her hand. Her skin tingled and heat snaked her body. She fidgeted. He was fast. He pulled her with him out of the store. Holding her breath, she waited for him to leave her hand. They walked over to his car. She did not want to sit alone with him. She was thinking. He would scold her once they would be alone. Unexpectedly, he opened the door for her. He was looking calm. She had seen her parents. Her dad always looked calm but after her father went out for business, She knocked on the door and always found her mother with bruises. She wasn't prepared for this kind of hell in her life. She was scared when

ARIANA She was still staring at the door when Cody and Selena burst through the door. Their laughter echoed in the room. She opened her mouth but stopped when Rose walked in, "Rose, you should send someone..." She said. Rose shook her head with a smile. Her hand was on her round stomach. "We're going out. NGO. Would you like to join us?" She asked. "We're going to meet our friends, Aunt," Selena squealed happily. Cody held her hand, "Will you come to meet our friends, Aunt?" He asked, looking up at him with innocent eyes. "Of course," She nodded immediately and caressed his cheek. "If you don't wanna go. You can deny me." Rose said. "No, I will come. Thank you for inviting me. I'll experience something new," "We will see a cartoon movie," Cody jumped on his feet twice. "Cody, grandma said we can't jump around momma. She can fall." Selena put her hands on her hip. No one could stop

She stared off into the darkness blankly, it was past midnight. She glanced at the door back. She was looking in the same direction after every ten minutes and found no one standing there. She took a deep breath and pressed her head against the couch head. 'He should come. What's taking him so long? Is there another attack? I would have known from the guards outside of the door. ' She shuddered at the thought of a knife piercing through her delicate skin. The door opened softly. Her head jerked at the door, alarmingly. He slanted a look at her. His brows furrowed, "Why are you up? It's too late." His voice was crude. "I didn't notice. I was just worried... " She trailed. His expression was steeled, " Worried!" He snorted, "Or waiting for my death news," He smirked. Her body shivered with the intensity of his sarcasm, "I would never want this. You know that," She retorted immediately, her eyes widened with shock. Sadness engulfed her

She found herself lying under the comforter. She woke up with a jerk after another nightmare. Beads of sweat tickled on her forehead. She embraced the comforter more closely. Pushing herself up, she smoothed her hair. Her gaze drifted around the room. It was empty. The fear confiscated her. Taking a deep breath, she tried to control her emotions. She shivered and let out a shriek. She glanced at the nightstand. She froze when she saw a pink paper on the nightstand next to her ringing phone. She was looking at the paper with shocked eyes. Another jolt of fear made her heartbeat skip when she heard the click of the door. Her head swiveled toward the door. Sweat trailed down her neck to her forehead. She saw a pink frill and a familiar smiling face came into view, "Did you like my drawing?" Selena asked with a broad grin on her face. She spun to the nightstand and dragged the pink paper with her shivering hand. She saw color pens on the
