Third Person’s POV"So, is she alright?" Lanceil asked, his voice filled with concern, as he slumped onto the couch."Yeah," Vincent replied on the other end of the phone. "She mentioned that she's with her friend at the moment.""If that's true, why didn't she reach out to me?" Lanceil groaned in frustration, biting his already swollen lip."Actually, she lost consciousness on the street last night," Vincent explained."What?!" Lanceil exclaimed, jumping up from the couch. His body trembled with a mix of fear and anger at the thought of his beloved collapsing helplessly on the street. He couldn't help but blame himself.Was it because they had been intimate multiple times?Damn. If he could, he would punch himself in the face."It seems she dropped her phone somewhere while a passerby took her to the hospital," Vincent added.Lanceil ran his fingers through his hair and squeezed his eyes shut. "Oh my god," he muttered. When he opened his eyes, he spoke in a softer tone. "How did you

Third Person’s POV Brett was feeling a mix of emotions after Sebastian interrupted his attempt to kiss Agatha. Confusion, annoyance, and a hint of regret. Was he happy that he didn’t make any mistake? Or was he mad that he couldn’t follow what he desires? Anyway, time went on and Sebastian joined Brett and Agatha for dinner. Sebastian stared at them alternately. He raised his brows before saying, “So, what I saw before is someone helping Agatha to get the dust out of her eye, huh?” Sebastian questioned Brett, who remained silent. Brett did not answer. However, Agatha quickly jumped in to clarify the situation. "I've told you before, he's my uncle. Don't jump to conclusions," she defended firmly. Brett couldn't help but be impressed by Agatha's quick thinking. Not only that, but she seemed getting better in lying. "Alright, let's go with that,” Sebastian said with a grin directed at Brett. Brett continued eating his steak, chewing thoughtfully as he observed Sebastian. "You kn

Third Person’s POVAdam stepped into the abandoned warehouse, his eyes scanning the dimly lit space. And there, right before him, stood the assassin who had come so close to ending his life.As he took in the scene, Adam's brows furrowed and his jaw clenched in anger. He couldn't bear the sight of Maxine sitting there so calmly, solving Rubik's cubes as if nothing had happened. Determined, he approached her."Hey," Adam greeted, his voice laced with tension.His presence cast a shadow over Maxine, causing her to slowly lift her head. She saw a man with pale skin and a dark aura standing before her. It was then that Adam noticed the wounds and bruises on her face. However, no trace of pity crossed his mind."Nice to see you again," Adam uttered, waving his hand. Maxine welcomed Adam’s sardonic grin with solemn expression, as if he's not curious to what the muscle man in front of her is about to do.To give him a clue, Adam grabbed her collar and forced her up. "You b*tch..!"He was abo

Agatha’s POVWhen I was assigned the task of tempting the cold Lanceil Grim, my only objectives were to complete it and break free from my enslaving contract. However, things took a chaotic turn when I unexpectedly fell in love with the target. Now, I find myself questioning the true reason behind Brett's request."What does Brett stand to gain if I successfully seduce Lanceil?" I pondered internally, hoping for any clue that would help me make sense of my swirling thoughts. Unfortunately, my intuition failed to provide an answer.This wasn't the first time I attempted to decipher Brett's motives. Yet, no matter how hard I racked my brain, I couldn't come up with anything. Perhaps, it's connected to a tale from a distant past."That could very well be the case."After reaching that conclusion, I suddenly felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around and saw a tall man standing there. It was none other than my best friend, Sebastian."You seemed lost in thought," Sebastian remarked. "What

Third Person’s POVLawrence and Maxine engaged in a game of chess.Maxine made her move, strategically maneuvering her black knight.On the other side of the board, Lawrence had just finished moving his white pawn.Their eyes met, and they exchanged smiles. The game continued as Maxine moved her white bishop to a position perpendicular to Lawrence's queen, posing a threat to his powerful piece."I have a plan to stay close to her," Maxine whispered.Lawrence shifted his queen three steps to the north. "You said they might come after you for switching sides. So why put yourself in danger?""It's better to keep an eye on her than to do nothing. Even without me, they might send others to harm her. At least I can help protect her when she's away from your sight." Maxine's white knight took down Lawrence's queen."Damn," Lawrence muttered under his breath as he lost his valuable piece. He made his move with the dark horse, strategically positioning it in an L shape towards Maxine's white K
