"No way!"Tania had not even opened her mouth when Bran shot down the idea. Arms crossed, he scowled at Linda. "She's just a kid herself, so why should she be my mentor? I don't want her!"Bran stood with his hands on his hips, glaring at Linda with all the might his little body could muster. With a silver instrument in hand, Linda blinked at Bran and laughed. "Oh, you little charmer. You're just too adorable!""You're the adorable one, and so is your whole family!""Bran!" Tania could not help but laugh. "You shouldn't talk to Ms. Holt like that!""But she wants to be my mentor." Bran frowned. "She's just a kid, too. Why does she get to be my mentor?"Tania chuckled and glanced at Peter, catching his eyes on her. With everyone around, she coughed twice to signal him discreetly.Peter raised an eyebrow, looked at Bran, and beckoned him over. "Come here!"Bran hurried over with his short little legs—thump, thump, thump—and sat down next to Peter. "Daddy!""I think Ms. Holt woul

Sometimes, even when Yves was there, he would get so annoyed with their short chats that he would head straight to his study.Kelly did not know what Yves was really doing, but she could tell he was up to something scary. His looks alone were enough to frighten her.She had thought about running away these past few days, but with guards all around the villa and servants watching her every move, she had no chance. Even reaching out to the outside world seemed impossible.Other than eating and sleeping, Kelly's days were spent trying to outsmart Yves's people. However, they were too clever and always guessed her plans, and she never got the upper hand.Yves would often visit in the evenings, always wanting to share a room with Kelly. She said no more times than she could count, but Yves never listened. Eventually, Kelly stopped arguing. Every night, she dreamed of revealing the truth behind Yves's mask, but she never managed to do it.She felt trapped, longing to escape but somehow

"Be good. I like it when you call me Yves," Yves whispered, kissing the corner of Kelly's eye, then her long, curled lashes. He felt her shiver in his arms, and he could not help but like it."Release me!""I won't!" Yves was feeling playful, and the frustration he had just calmed was flaring up again because of Kelly.He bent down and kissed her once more. Kelly's heart jumped. She thought Yves was done, but she was wrong...Kelly blushed with embarrassment. "Yves, remember that I hate you!""Go ahead and hate me. I'll still love you deeply," Yves replied, taking Kelly's hand and leading her toward the bathroom."You..." Kelly stared at Yves, appalled. "You're shameless!"Her voice shook with fury as she yelled at him, but Yves just smiled. "I'm only shameless for you."Kelly could not sleep a wink that night. Yves kept her awake until the first light of dawn, and she was so tired she could barely open her eyes when he finally stopped.Yves rose from the bed and looked down a

Kelly woke up and was surprised to see how late it was. She felt a little annoyed and said, "I'm going to change my clothes. You go down first, okay?"Once the servant had left, Kelly hurried to the bathroom to freshen up and get dressed. Then, she headed downstairs.Walking slowly, Kelly felt a sharp pain with each step, which made her wince. She glanced at the servant beside her, but he just kept looking forward, not noticing her discomfort. "Madam, your meal is ready," he said."Don't call me 'Madam’!" Kelly snapped. "Call me Ms. Anderson. I have nothing to do with your 'Sir’!"The servant gave her a strange look and repeated, "Madam, please."Kelly took a deep breath, trying to calm her anger. She knew arguing was pointless. The servant would not listen, so she let it go.After dinner, Kelly felt uneasy. She had not seen Yves for hours, and he did not show up at night either. That made her feel worried, though she could not quite pinpoint why.The night passed without any

As Kelly slipped into unconsciousness, she heard Simon's promise. "Next time, I'll take you with me!"Simon had barely finished speaking when a shadowy figure appeared, moving with lightning speed. Simon parried a few blows, but the attacker, wearing a silver mask, was relentless. With a frown, Simon dropped Kelly to the ground. The masked man caught her just in time, cradling her gently.When the man looked up again, Simon was gone. Beneath the mask, his face was dark and foreboding. He gazed down at the unconscious Kelly, holding her close and pressing her head to his chest as if she were a precious treasure. It was as if holding her was the only way to confirm she was really there.Kelly thought she had been dreaming, a really long dream where she tried to run away, but Yves was always right behind her, making it so she could not get away. When she got too tired to run, Yves held her close, his kiss icy on her lips, his eyes sharp. He touched her cheek softly, but his words were
