In his big muscled arms, Sumire struggled to free herself from his grip but Mort easily lifted her with one hand, clasped around her waist to prevent her from going back inside the Viccini House."Listen to me just this once please?"Sumire pleads with Mort as the hunk walk towards his parked car nearby. She got no answer from him.“Look! I just wanted to make sure he’s okay! He’s my responsibility! I am the one who invited him here! ”Sumire shouted as Mort's grip tightened around her. Jaw-clenched, his face remains rigid.“You are not going anywhere. We’re leaving. ”Mort firmly said and he entered her into his phantom car. Sumire was still struggling, bites him, and her nails dugs into his arms which were already reddened and full of her scratch marks. The hunk's face remains stoic, hot, and unbothered from the pain inflicted on him. He made her sit in the front seat and when Mort was about to fasten the seat belt around her, Sumire hit her head on his face but Mort quickly dodge an

Mischa greeted her with a big grin plastered on her lips. Sumire couldn't answer immediately as she had a heavy feeling loaded in her chest. Something isn't right, something is missing and something is confusing her."You didn't look so good," Mischa added when she noticed the beautiful maiden looking dull and stunned to speak, who just stared at her, and stood like a statue."I'm not feeling well, " Sumire responded, forcing a smile. She was not in the mood and did not talk to anyone for days. Sumire isolates herself most of the time in her home and in the set. She was heavyhearted about what happened between her and Mort."Since you're feeling not okay, let's postpone the shopping we plan," Mischa said, pretending to be sad and turning her back on the maiden, which alarmed Sumire.She immediately pulled Mischa's hand and flash a smile. "Wait Mischa, let's do it today as we promised."Mischa's face lit up and her eyes sparkled with joy. Sumire just chuckled because, like her, she is

6 AM. Sumire woke up and finished her bath early in the morning. She went out of the bathroom wearing only a bathrobe. Her hair was wet cascading down on her back and a big smile was reflected in the mirror while combing it. Eiryss brought good news to her last night. She was given an option by her manager as to whether she would sign a new contract at the projects that were lined up, waiting for her approval, or take a two months vacation, which she obviously chose the latter. Sumire vow to herself that she will make Mort confess to her and this is the perfect opportunity to do it.She opened the sliding door and let the gentle morning breeze in. The first rays of sunlight lit up her room. The dawn chorus of melodic birdsong drifted in. From the lawn of her home down below, she saw Sam, her most trusted bodyguard riding his motorcycle arrive looking so hot and fine, carrying a basket of fruits she asked him last night. The man really had a chance of becoming a model but he rejected it

5 PM. Sumire carefully peek out the window's car and the cold, but serene afternoon greeted her. The wind whipped her black colored hair across her face, a pair of midnight eyes peering through the fluffy clouds drifted across the sky. Ahead of her loomed was an old-fashioned majestic palace-like manor stood. Sunlight streaming down illuminated the groups of trees that stood proudly, bumps on a smooth, green plain. Peering at the trees, the flash of a golden sunset, a cool and breezy gentle gust of wind blew against her face.Mort got out of the car and opened the door for her. Sumire stepped out and the long red carpet, and the number of men in their black suits lined up towards the end. They all bowed to Mort which slightly surprised Sumire. Mort hold her hand and sauntered together down the long red carpet aisle in the middle of bowed heads of men while the black beast panther was tailing and growling behind them. Her bustier ruffle white french slit dress slightly danced in the a

It's been two weeks since Dieu and Sumire were seen together. Sumire had kept her promise to stay away from Mort. They're always the talk of the place, rumors such as she was now Dieu's girl encircling the entirety of MDA building. Most of the employees were thrilled to see them walking together and teased them every time they pass by in the lobby. From the top floor, Mort's office has been so dark and ominous for weeks that even Klauss is now suffocated by the heavy aura around, but he still endures it. During those weeks, Charlotte has been acting low-key and helping Dieu to impress the maiden. The young man plans to propose to Sumire."Have you prepared everything? The flowers and ring?" From the parking lot of the building, Charlotte excitedly confronted Dieu."Why are you even more look excited than me?" Dieu asked, staring at her questioningly but Charlotte answered him with a grin."I'm starting to reap the benefits of all my hard work in helping you. With your proposal, it wi
