"You seem to know how to run your mouth these days. Maybe you don't need to be the state prosecutor anymore; bid your career farewell."No, not my profession. Dad turned to walk away, and knowing full well how to pull every string of mine, I quickly ran to him and grabbed his hand. He paused and slowly looked in my direction. His eyes were dimmer with annoyance and satisfaction."Please don't do that, Father. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to disrespect you like that." At this point, listening to myself was so unbearable that I balled my hands into fists. I occasionally make statements about not letting anyone control me, but I suppose my statements and reality are very different.His mouth pressed against the corner, taking my hand away from his. He adjusted his suit, every proud remark etched on his face. "When you truly come back to your senses, I will reconsider whether I should marry you off or give you what you desire." With a deep breath, he turned his entire body to face me and pl

Hailey"you have to leave now." I whispered in panic. the footsteps were heading towards the direction of my room. and again, my eyes widened. The items were in my room, which would be suspicious if Vivian or my father saw them.I whispered,, "Stay in here; don't leave unless you want to die." I gritted my teeth and did not wait for his response. I walked out of my closet and quickly went to the items for which he had bid on my behalf.I collected them all and placed them in the compartment of my walk-in closet where I keep my confidential items. Where no one can gain access without a key. And the key was a personalized one.I could still hear Zeke's breathing in there. It was clear that the the man was playing games with me. He always did the things I'd taught him not to do, which was so annoying.I can't believe I let him hide in my room when I was supposed to throw him out in one way or another.A knock appeared at my door.I took a deep breath, counted for ten seconds, and walked

Hailey  I was certain it was him, but I couldn't pinpoint or confirm. Zeke, in an army uniform, his face partially hidden by a mask, gripping my arm tightly and putting me away from the crowd. His familiar cologne filled my nostrils, and the intensity of his gaze sent a shiver down my spine. I followed his gaze as he looked towards my father and sister, then back at me. There was something possessive about his touch, as if he were claiming me. I tried to pull away from his grip, but he held on tightly, his fingers digging into my arm. I felt a mix of fear and disbelief coursing through me. What was he doing here? And why was he dressed like this?“Let go of me,” I hissed through clenched teeth, trying to sound defiant despite

Dad turned to Zeke, assessing him from head to toe. The way Dad looked at Zeke was uncertain. Then he inquired, fiddling with the corner of his suit jacket. "And why are you here when you should be with your team, ensuring the safety and protection of all the invited guests, including Vivian?"My throat went dry; none of them realized i had tensed up at their unknown reunion. If dad knew that the man standing in front of him was his sworn enemy and that I had been interacting with him, I would be in a big mess, and he would quickly force me to marry one of his old, ugly, perverted friends."Oh, yeah, dad, he probably saw me alone here and did his job. "He asked me to go to where Vivian was," I defended fiercely, my heart racing.Dad tried to believe; he wasn't sure about my response, but he doesn't know how to twist my words. His gaze lingered on him for a while, trying to determine whether he was really a member of the army assigned to him for protection. He nodded and said, "Very w
