Deal to Seduce the Devil Heir의 모든 챕터: 챕터 11 - 챕터 16

The entire house is quiet when we return. Too quiet. I glance around instinctively as we step inside. The lights are dim, the air still, and there’s a strange emptiness that settles over everything. “It’s already ten,” I murmur, more to myself than to him. Then I look at Fabien. “Do you think your father isn’t here?” “I guess so,” he replies casually. “They usually do business at night.” I nod slowly. “That makes sense… but your father is kind of scary,” I admit. “He seems really strict. Your uncle, though—he punches people out of nowhere, but he’s nice to you.” “He’s more concerned,” Fabien says simply. I study him for a moment. “Why does it feel like there’s a gap between you and your father?” I ask carefully. “I’m not trying to gossip or anything… but it really feels like you’re different. Like you want different things in life.” “You’re right,” he says after a brief pause. Then he glances at me. “But it’s better if you sleep now. It’s getting late.” I nod, th

Saying goodbye to the household staff who had treated me kindly was harder than I expected.

Catie felt a deep, painful pity as she took one last look at her older brother before turning away. “Take care, my child,” Romeo told her. “Don’t forget the USB. Keep me updated right away, okay? And… I’m sorry.” She forced a smile. “Yes, Dad. Please take your medicine, and let me know about my brother, alright?” Romeo simply nodded in response, so she stepped out of the room. Her shoulders felt heavy, as if they were about to collapse—not just slumped, but completely weighed down as she walked. She stopped when she noticed Fabien sitting alone on a stainless steel bench. “Hey, what are you doing here? Isn’t it dangerous for you to be alone?” “I have a gun.” “Even so. You should just stay in the car. Come on, let’s go home.” He stood up. “Maybe you want to hold my arm for support.” She looked up at him, confused. “You look so tired and sad,” he added. She let out a long sigh. “My brother still hasn’t woken up. The doctor said he only has seventy-two hours. If he doesn’t wake
