“Can I go out?”    “No,”   “Why?”   “It’s the master’s order,”   “Then can I just borrow a laptop, a cellphone, or can I call someone using a telephone?”   “Calling someone from the outside is the most prohibited out of all things the master ordered. You can wait for his arrival if you want to talk or call someone. If you may excuse me, Miss,” Thraia said. I was sitting on a single-seater European coach while she was standing in front of me, with a bowed head.   She looked at me, waiting for a response. I just nodded, “Go on. You can leave me here,” she bowed her head again and then turned her back. I just stared at her back while she walked away in my direction.   When she reached the doubled door, after she opened and closed it, when she finally disappeared from my sight, without hesitations, I stood up.   I wa

  Elliott opened the transparent double door in front of us. Then he goes out first and keeps the door open so that I can come next to him.   “Where are we?” I asked when I finally got myself out. The hot and cold breeze greeted me, swaying my hair, and it was fresh as if I got it directed from the healthy forest of trees.   I heard the glass door softly clicks, a sign that it’s already closed. I looked down and saw that I’m stepping in this well-cut European grass and roamed my eyes at the current place.   I was left dumbfounded when I managed to stare at the whole place. We are on this terrace full of green grass on the floor. The patio was broad and grass-covered. I can’t believe that such a thing exists.   Right now, I was facing the open space wherein the view of the ocean is widely unobstructed from my eyes. That explains the reason why the breeze earlier was a little hot. 

  “I’m thirsty, and I want my original clothes back. There’s something important left there. Can you get it for me?” They looked at each other again after hearing what I said.   Their eyes were talking about what they should do. Whether they will follow what I asked or they will keep an eye on me.   I felt a sudden breeze brushing my legs. It gave an icy feeling to the top of my body. I hug myself to prevent the cold I felt.    I looked to my knees; they were red from the cold air hitting my skin. Honestly, I wasn’t comfortable in this kind of clothes.    I need to change my clothes to avoid any difficulties in escaping, but there’s no time. Why do I sleep so fast? But it’s not my fault either, maybe because I’m tired.   It has been a while, but I didn’t receive any answer from these two maids. I think this plan of mine won’t work. I can’t do it if these tw

  Isaac was staring at me endlessly while approaching my position. I tried to move and stand up, but my legs and body hurt so much.   I felt like all my bones were broken because of falling into this cliff. I bit my lower lips when I tried to move again, but the bone on my left foot near the ankle seemed to break.   The corners of my eyes warmed up. I want to cry in pain as if the iron was piercing my foot. It’s not a sprain. How can I get out of this forest if I’m in this condition?   I don’t even know where the exit in this forest, and something like this has happened to me! Why am I so unlucky?   I touched my left foot and put pressure to prevent the pain, but it didn’t work. I looked at it, but I just blew into the air. What am I thinking? No matter what I do, I can’t see anything in the darkness.    I almost fainted when I turned around. Isaac is in front o

My body trembles as I stare at Reign. He was holding the part of his cheek that I slap.    I was surprised about my own actions. I didn’t mean that. My hands just suddenly moved without me being aware of it.    I flinched when Reign looked at me. The pounding of my chest grew louder as if it were going to lose from their cage.    I bit my lip and clasp my hands tightly to restrain myself from shivering. Reign just stared at me and didn’t say a word.   “What?” I said in a questioning manner. Hey Ruchee, do you love yourself?   Are you freaking serious? You’re the one at fault, but then, you have the guts to say something like that? C’mon!    Because of the nervousness that enveloped my body, I didn’t realize that my bite on my lips intensified.   “Ouch!” I tearfully hissed. I immediately touched my lips and felt a visco
