All Chapters of A Decade of Confinement: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

"Who are you?"The mere three words from Kevin Hemsworth made my whole body tremble uncontrollably.Six months ago, after he fell from a horse and lost his memory, he asked me the same question.Back then, I gathered my courage and told him I was only a maid. That very night, I booked flights and fled with my family to a remote island no one knew about.But the moment I opened the courtyard gate, I was met with his cold blue eyes."Anna, it's been ten whole years, and you still haven't learned your lesson."He was smiling, but the look in his eyes sent chills down my spine.I instantly understood that he only pretended to have amnesia. It was to test if I had learned to behave.His consigliere, George, broke my dad's leg right in front of me."That's just a small punishment. Next time, it won't be a leg. It'll be his head."This time, facing the same question, I didn't dare lie. I didn't dare scheme.My dad, Frank Keller, was old. His leg hadn't even healed from what happene

Kevin raised his hands and rubbed his temples."Laura, you handle this. My head hurts."Then came the sound of his footsteps as he turned around and went upstairs.Laura admired the ring on her finger with delight. I recognized it right away. It was the one Kevin had never taken off.Seeing that ring was like seeing the Godfather of the Hemsworth family himself, Kevin.She casually picked up a torture device from the table and handed it to a guard."Anna, so what if you stayed by Kevin's side for ten years? The one he's going to marry is me. That wedding dress that was originally made for you? I'll be the one wearing it."The excitement in her eyes was impossible to hide, but she suddenly remembered that I had been the one to choose the dress. The look of jealousy on her face was obvious."You're such an eyesore."I struggled while trying to shout upstairs for Kevin, but Laura ordered the guards to drag me and my parents to a warehouse outside the estate.She sealed our mouth

While Ken wasn't paying attention, I grabbed a pair of scissors and pressed them to his neck."Where are the two people in that photo?"Ken raised his hands."I lied. Calm down. I can bring you to them!"When I found them, they were almost dead. Luckily, I knew how to treat poison. It took a lot, but I saved them."They begged me to save you. They showed me your photo. I recognized you right away, but I didn't dare let them see what you looked like. As for whether you want to see them now, that's up to you."I froze. My hands trembled uncontrollably."Why are you helping me?" I asked."You saved me once in the Hemsworth family."Over the past few days, Kevin and Laura came to me several times. I told them you died not long after being rescued. I told them you were fed to wolves."Ken smirked at me and gently took the scissors from my hand.I stared at his face, but I couldn't seem to remember when I had saved him. My attention shifted to the phone he handed me.I saw my par

"Miss Laura, I'm just a new maid here."I grabbed her chin and forced the bread into her mouth.She choked, coughed violently, and spat crumbs everywhere."Miss Laura, Godfather told me to take care of you today. If you don't eat, I'll be in trouble."So be good. Live a little longer, alright?"Laura froze and stared at me in a daze.After I brought the empty tray downstairs, George told me to bring Kevin an umbrella in the pouring rain.He looked thinner than before. His face seemed much paler now.Kevin sat in front of a gravestone without saying anything. He gently wiped the rainwater off its surface with his sleeve.When I held the umbrella over him and shielded him from the storm, he glanced at me calmly as if he had expected me."Who do you think should be the heir in the Hemsworth family?"Speak freely. No one else will know. I won't blame you."I kept my head lowered. For some reason, the Kevin in front of me suddenly felt childish.This was a man who had always be
