They say, save the best for last.My eyes widened in horror as I try to lift my arms, only to be weighed down by the metal handcuffs as my limbs felt like they were worn out from the pills.Zacharias hummed as he placed his hands inside his pockets, walking towards my sitting figure on the bed as he leaned down at my level. He grabbed my cheeks as he tilted my head, eliciting gasps from my lips every time the tips of his fingers make contact with my skin. His eyes explored my body, seeing the marks, straps, leashes, handcuffs, etc. clinging to my skin."What a shame." Zacharias grabbed my wrist as he undid the handcuffs and other accessories. I gulped as I looked at him with silence falling in the room. He lifted me on his shoulder as he walked out of bed. It gave me a chance to peek behind Zacharias and I see the men seated on the couches, waving and chuckling at me, making me nervous. When I turned my head to see where Zacharias was taking me, I noticed that within this red room wa

"What a shame."A man leaning back on the couch with his other leg on top of the table, a cigarette between his index and middle finger as he blew a puff of smoke. He ran a hand through his black, slicked-back hair, pushing up his glasses as he gazed through the projector screen."Mr. Lazarus Suarez, there's still no strong evidence." A worker said."Get out." Lazarus pointed at the door."Sir—""Get out before I pull my gun out." "Please give me one more chance—"Cedric clicked his tongue as he shot the wall with a gun just beside the worker, scaring him.The worker immediately opened the door and left the room after that."Back to the topic." Lazarus flicked the cigarette and stepped it on the floor."Lazarus," suddenly, Asahi barged inside the room and the two men turned their heads to him.Asahi threw a file containing documents on the table, and Lazarus grabbed it as he read the contents."A what? An update? For fucking what?""Didn't you remember your pledge back then?" Asahi s

"What the fuck are you all doing here?" I groaned as I stepped back. "No no, darling, we shall ask that question. What are you doing in here?" "Fuckers," I immediately turned my heel as I unlocked the door, wasting no time. It was no use as I felt some men grip my arm as they drag me away from the door. My eyes widened as I try to push them away and kick my legs as they carry you. "Get off!" "Let me handle her." Then, Zacharias walked to my side and grabbed my wrist. "You also!" I shouted at him as I yanked my wrist away from his hand. Zacharias grabbed my wrist again and pulled me out of the VIP room, leaving the other men behind as us two walked to a certain area. I kept on pulling myself away and even tried punching or kicking my feet away from Zacharias' hold, but it was all useless. He pushes me inside an empty room as I hit the wall. I grunted as I turned around to him. I admit that I feel a little scared by Zacharias' impression now, but I would never show it, especiall

"Eri— J-just Eri..." I sighed as I spoke with the receptionist at the counter since I'm now in the hospital and I didn't hesitate to go when those men gave me permission. Still, I'm wary of my surroundings, fiddling with the hem of my shirt and gripping the strap of my bag while I take deep breaths and shake my hands. "Relations?" "I-I'm her daughter." The receptionist raised her head from the computer screen and papers. She raised her brows and noticed my state. "Are you okay, ma'am?" "Yes," I frantically nodded. "M'kay, proceed to room 106." The nurse said, still not fully convinced. "If you wish to check your blood pressure and heart rate, feel free to coordinate with the nurses at the other counter." "N-no thank you, I'm fine." I quickly muttered, then just walked away. I stepped into the elevator and ascended to the hospital room level. I went out as soon as the door slid open, and the corridor appeared to be empty. My heart was racing as I walked into the room at a quick

"Bring her in the trunk."Lazarus commanded the three men as soon as he heard the news.Asahi grabbed Allura's arm as he carried her unconscious body. The others opened the door as they inspected the hospital hallway, seeing no one is around."Tell the men to block the CCTVs lurking around." Lazarus told."Go," he added as a signal, then Cedric, Haru, and Asahi, who was carrying, were the first to proceed in the hallway, going straight to the hospital's basement.After at least some minutes that felt like an hour, the men finally arrived in the parking lot basement, where their black van is parked."Bring her inside, make sure no trails are left behind." Lazarus told, then they went inside the vehicle.Cedric, who was driving, instantly revved up the vehicle. Lazarus is in the front seat, followed by Haru and Asahi in the van's backseat, where they tied Allura's body and put tape over her lips."Where will bring this Allura?" Cedric asked in a slightly irritated tone. "What will we do
