《DAMSEL MEETS DANGER》全部章節：第 11 章 - 第 20 章

Vladimir looked at the unconscious Ivy, and then at his guys.He repeated his eye movement three more times before laying it to rest on the guys.“I told you she's strange, didn't I Andrei? And how the hell did she get into the garden?” He asked, half reproachful, half in awe.“Ivan left the door open so Sergei could come in after his usual stroll round the garden. She probably found it that way, and got curious to see what was on the other side,” Andrei explained.“So let me get this straight,” he stood up from the bed, walked a few paces, and paused. “Ivan left Sergei to stroll around on his own? Without bothering to stay nearby just in case he wandered too far? No one informed me Sergei is now so independent. Did you know about this latest development from Sergei, Hedeon?”Hedeon, who had been silently listening, looked up.“It's news to me too, boss.”“Hear that, Andrei?” He drew closer to him. “It's news to him,” he placed a hand on his shoulder. “Say Sergei got very excited. Say

Ivy looked up from the note in her hand when the door opened, and her gaze connected with Anna's.“My beautiful bride,” Anna said with a smile as she drew closer to the bed with a tray in hand. “I see you're making good use of the notepad you asked for last night.” She set the tray on the side table, and straightened up.“Yeah, I did. I have something for you to help me pass along,” Ivy said.“Really? What's that? Anything at all. You know I'm always ready to help you.”“Okay.” Her eyes went back to the note. She read it three times before carefully folding it.“You wrote a letter, Bride?”“Yeah. Could you pass it to Vladimir please?” She stretched out her hand.Anna's brows knitted, as she collected the note from her hand.“I have questions, but I won't ask.”Ivy smiled. “Don't worry. I have a feeling I know what is in your mind, but don't worry.”“Alright–” she turned to do as she had been instructed, but paused halfway to the door. “Bride, do you want me to taste your food before

IVYI shut the door, rested my back to it, and waited.When I heard retreating footsteps, I finally released the breath I was holding.However, exhaling did nothing to stop my heart from thumping, or my stomach from remaining clenched.Every single encounter with Vladimir left me wondering what the heck he was about.Something told me the answer, if I ever found out, would be too surprising. Perhaps, it would be better to let it go.My eyes tilted to the package in my hand, juggling my memory.“What's this now?” I whispered questioningly, as I withdrew my back from the door and walked over to the bed.Curious, I began to try to peel off the covers of the package so I could see within.The covers came off, revealing a small box.“Hmmm.” So many options of what could be moved through my head, but nothing prepared me for what I saw. I had to stand up, and sit down in successive motions when I ripped the box open, and found a phone with all its accessories staring back at me.My heart r

IVY“I really want to go into the garden to see if I will find that flower I saw before, but I'm kinda terrified of stumbling on that snake again,” I said to Anna who was clearing up the spot I had just eaten lunch at.She paused, but still backing me, spoke up. “I forgot to mention to you last night, but I don't think you should be scared of Sergei. He's largely harmless.”I scoffed out loud. “One of those last words is definitely correct, Anna. He's large,” my eyes widened as something clicked in my head. “Oh my God, the snake has a name?!”Anna fully faced me now, whilst laughing heartily.There was nothing funny in my opinion. It was all too creepy to be funny.“Anna?” I called out to her, and her laughter abruptly ceased.“Okay, okay. I understand you, Bride. But I must confess, the expression on your face when you realised the snake has a name was very funny. Oh and it's really all thanks to Vladimir. Sergei belongs to him.”I rolled my eyes hard. “Of course it's his. Of course

The shock from seeing Vladimir made Ivy lose her balance.She stumbled, her leg gave way, and crumbled into the water.Vladimir shot forward. Disregarding his full body of clothes, he jumped into the water and was within her in a blink.“Are you okay?” He asked whilst his hands reached out to grab her.Ivy froze.He was touching her, and her stomach was clenched tight. He wasn't supposed to be touching her.When she didn't respond, Vladimir grew alarmed. He tossed the bag he was holding aside, and pulled her up, into his arms.“It's okay. You're fine. I'm here.”The last two words pierced through her frozen state, causing her to jerk up, and pull away forcefully.“I'm fine.”His brow knitted with curiosity. All he had wanted was to help. She just pulled away like he was hurting her even more.“I'm fine,” she repeated, clearing her throat, and moving behind to put some distance between them.If she said she was fine, then he wouldn't argue it.But he wasn't.He wasn't fine because he
