I rushed out of the barrier without care. It turned out that the people inside could pass through safely.Krell followed me. He grabbed my hand and was even a little fierce."Krell, let me go!" My wrist hurt from his grip."No." Krell grabbed me a little harder, and I lost my balance. Gravity forced me to fall towards him.Just as I closed my eyes to accept Krell's help, a pair of bony hands took mine and yanked me aside."Mia, are you okay?" Kasim asked, lowering his head to wipe away the blood Krell had just left on my lips."Let go of Mia!" Krell yelled at Kasim."No, if I let her go, you'll humiliate her again. She doesn't want to be with you!" Kasim said as he took off his coat and draped it over my shoulders.I felt so warm...I just spent so much time with Krell, but he didn't even notice that I was shivering with cold.Kasim was like an angel!Suddenly I heard a horrible sound and looked back. I saw Kasim was beaten to the ground. The shirt on his arm was torn, and there was a

Bang! It was the sound of a fist smashing into flesh.Simon finally threw his fist at Kasim, hitting Kasim's injured arm.The wound tore again. Blood seeped through Kasim's white shirt and exploded in a hideous, glaring red line."Kasim!" I hurried over to check on Kasim's injuries. I pulled down his sleeve, revealing the wound on his arm. It looked like a horrible fire snake that would burn Kasim."Mia, it hurts." Kasim put his hand over mine and rubbed it restlessly, seeming to seek reassurance."Mia, don't believe him," Simon said coldly.What was wrong with Simon? Not only did he not apologize to Kasim, but he also doubted Kasim. Was his previous gentlemanly style fake?"Enough," I interrupted Simon. "All I see now is you hurting someone and not apologizing! Simon, I'm so disappointed in you!""Mia..." Simon reached out to grab my sleeve, but I didn't want to give him that chance. I pulled my hand back to avoid it."Simon, I don't want to see you. Leave. I have to heal Kasim now."

"What's going on?" I exclaimed. I couldn't believe my eyes. I rushed forward to Kasim and tried to untie him, but the rope around him was so tight that I couldn't untie it at all.A thought flashed through my mind. "Could Kasim be tied up here by them? No, that couldn't be. How could they be so cruel to a teenager? They must have just discovered Kasim trapped here and planned to save him too," I said to myself.At this moment, Kasim, who seemed to have fainted, suddenly opened his eyes. His weak appearance really broke my heart."Kasim, are you okay..." I gently touched his injured cheek and turned to the men. "Hurry up and untie him!""No, they won't untie me." I heard Kasim's weak voice."What?" I heard him clearly, but I couldn't believe it."I'm just a kid who's scarcely twenty years old. I won't be a threat to them. I don't know why they treated me like this. Perhaps they'll only be happy if I die..." Kasim's long hair was loose on his exquisite face, but his eyes were filled with

*Krell*Because of Kasim, we had a bad time with Mia. I returned to my tent angrily and felt that the woman was really stupid.She couldn't even tell that he was trying to make us turn our backs on each other. She had been so protective of him. I really wanted to open her brain to see what it was made of.The more I thought about it, the angrier I became. I clenched my fist and slammed it on the bedding. Willard came in and said that Kasim was resting in Mia's tent. I sneered and said, "He's so nosey. He's a man, but he's more of a woman." Mia just had to fall for his tricks. That was just unacceptable.Willard was silent for a moment. Then, he said hesitantly, "Mia is a very kind person. What we did... was indeed a little too much."I narrowed my eyes. I didn't expect my brother, who had always been silent, to say such things. What he said might make sense, but I had been used to being in charge for a long time. In addition, I was angry now. I snorted. "You think that's too much? You

Sighing in my mind, I pushed him away. I heard him gently but definitely ask me why."Willard, I thought we were just friends. Besides, I have someone I want to spend the rest of my life with now." I didn't want to leave Willard hanging. He was great, but I never thought I'd have a family with him.Although I was shocked that he was the one who saved me back then, I also clearly knew that the gratitude I felt back then was far different from the feelings I felt with Krell. Only then did I realize that my feelings for Krell might have unknowingly become deeper than I had imagined.Unfortunately, Willard's words indirectly confirmed Kasim's words. Krell indeed had some purpose in getting close to me in the beginning. I couldn't help but sigh."Who? Is it my brother? He treated you like that! He was so arbitrary and oppressive. Why did you still choose him?" Willard looked at me in disbelief.I frowned slightly at his words. Although what Krell had done yesterday made me angry, I could un
