"Lina!" Eon shook her shoulder but Lina didn't wake up and stopped clawing herself. At first, he thought she was clawing at him but after a while, he realized that she was trying to swat something away from her. He was stunned as she started to tear her clothes off her body. "Lina!" He called her again but she was so deep in her dreams that his voice nor him shaking her couldn't reach her brain. In her dreams, Lina was running for her life. She was running in a dark forest with snarly dead tree trunks, clawing her as she ran away from a pack of dogs that had been chasing her. "Hah, hah," she bent down, panting. She put her hands on her knees as she tried to catch her breath. She has been running for ages but no matter where she ran or how fast she ran, the damn pack of dogs always found her. Her legs were giving up on her and she was so damn tired and thirsty from all the running she had been doing. The dark forest also wasn't helping. She loo

The fourth floor became silent as a mausoleum as soon as Li Na got on the elevator. Eon wondered if his flat has always been this quiet. He never took notice before Li Na set foot inside his personal space. No one was ever allowed to enter his place. The fourth floor was divided into two parts, the first was his study and the second was his sanctuary where no one was allowed in. But he just broke his rule. He has brought Li Na. Moreover, he took her to sleep next to him in his bed, where nobody else lays. He would once in a while bed some women for he’s a man with a healthy sex drive, but he always brought those women to the third-floor secret room. He would never take them to the fourth floor. He covered his eyes with his arm and let his mind drift away. He found himself inside his best-kept memory. 'Eon, we have enough!’ she complained but there was no annoyance in her sweet voice, rather it was full of laughter. Eon turned around and s

'You have to be careful because someone is after you.' Li Na scoffed haughtily as she recalled what Madam Gyu told her. No one is after me. No one cares about me, she thought to herself bitterly."Ernesto, let's go shopping! I need new outfits." She met her driver's eyes at the rearview mirror and smiled. The hotel designated driver was already used to her whim that he didn't show any indication of surprise with her sudden request.She doesn't like strangers around her, that's why, with the many chauffeurs provided by the hotel, she chose Ernesto and requested to have him as her driver while she was staying at the Hotel Bel-Air. She's already one of their VIP guests and the hotel agreed to her request easily.Ernesto already knew her preferred store so he didn't ask where they would go when she told him that they were going to pick new clothes. He already knew where to go.And the rest of the afternoon was spent hopping from one store to the next. And bef

"Are you sure it's okay for me to enter the club even though it wasn't opening hours yet?" Li Na was looking around the underground basement of Luna—trailing behind Larissa. They get to talk a lot while they are having a meal and they get to share some of their common hobby which is reading. They found out they both like the same authors and Larissa insisted on letting her borrow some of her books. She could buy the said books but it’s been a while since she has some friends. A ‘friend’ that wasn’t imposed on her by her family. Her so-called friends back home are the ones that belong in the same circle as her family and someone that has future usage. If it does not fit into any of those categories, she does not make friends. Hence, Larissa is a novelty. It would be her first time to make friends without the thought of how the other person can be a useful connection. She simply enjoys Larissa's no-nonsense attitude. She was amused at how Larissa could say whatever she

Eon cleared his throat when Li Na gave him an accusatory look. "You were drunk. I was just helping a person out." She scoffed. "Oh, really? I remembered you told me, Larissa was the one who took me to your penthouse." He met her gaze and smirked. "With what you did in my place, do you want to hear that I was the one that brought you upstairs?" Li Na blushed profusely. The memory of her taking her clothes off flashed back in her mind. She could not meet Eon's intense gaze due to embarrassment, she ended up averting her eyes. She wanted to crawl somewhere away from Eon. Away from his teasing smirk that never ceases to bring butterflies to her stomach and make her heart flutter. She exhaled a deep sigh and refused to reply to the question that Eon threw at her. "Give me more drinks," she turned her attention to Larissa who was watching them with an amused smile on her lips. "Got that," she moved to make her drink while she continued watch
