I started to panic, but I tried to stay calm. Maybe I was just paranoid because of the car accident I had weeks ago. Maybe the guy was in a hurry to get to the bathroom, and he was speeding up on purpose.I turned into an empty classroom, intending to let the person walk ahead of me. But something hard suddenly hit the back of my neck. I fell face down on the floor. My vision was blurry. I crawled forward, trying to get away from the person who had just hit the back of my neck hard."You think you can escape, huh?""W-who are you?"I looked back over my shoulder. My head was dizzy, and my vision was still blurry. I tried hard to focus my eyes to look at the man.Yes. He was a man.Tall, broad-chested, pot-bellied, and part of his face covered in beard. He was scary. From now on, I had to trust my instincts because they proved right. I was in danger.Where was Glen?Where was that damn Bodyguard when he was needed?"Stop."“No. Stay away from me. Don’t mess with me,” my voice sounded s

It had been a tiring day. Damn it. I couldn't remember the last time I had a proper meal or a good night's sleep. I had been working hard for the past week to clean up the mess. I kicked out the shady people from my organization and kept the loyal ones working with me. The SOP had changed. I handled the deliveries myself for the entire week. I strategized with my men, and I kept a close eye on them to make sure none of them messed up. Everything was perfectly organized for one thing, living peacefully with Claire. I imagined going home and sneaking into Claire's room to touch her, but there was always something shit that ruined my whole plan to touch Claire.This time I wouldn't let it happen again. I craved Claire, and I needed her. No matter how tired I was tonight, my footsteps still led me to Claire's room. I found my sweet stepdaughter sleeping soundly under the covers.She was the sweetest creature I had ever seen.I brush aside the strands of hair covering her face. I sighed so

My last erotic dream about Raviel had been incredibly intense. It managed to soothe the longing I felt for him in the real world. He was so busy. He ignored me ever since I came home with a bruise on my forehead. The bruise had almost faded now, and Raviel was still so busy that he didn’t even have time to look at me to make sure I was okay.I saw Glen’s nose bandaged the next day. When I asked, Glen only said that he deserved it. I didn’t know what happened, but my gut feeling told me that Glen was getting punished by Raviel because he wasn’t around when the giant man attacked me.“I didn't expect you to move to LA and go to the same college as me.”Charles was sitting across from me. He shrugged lightly before taking a sip of his coke.“I was just tired of being a beach boy. You gave me the idea to come to LA and try going to college like other kids my age.”It wasn’t easy to find Charles and dragged him to this café after the attack. I didn’t even know which department he was in. H

There was no way I could calm down after what I saw this afternoon. My heart dropped to the floor quickly when Alberta found me groping the wall near Raviel's study. I was so scared and panicked. I thought it was Raviel who caught me peeking at his secret activities. I didn't have time to freeze for too long. My brain worked quickly to think of a reasonable answer to answer Alberta's question."Oh, I intended to meet Raviel, but I saw this painting was a bit dusty. I checked it, and it turned out that this painting was indeed dusty.""Really? I clean these paintings every day.""You can check it yourself, Alberta. These paintings are dusty."I pretended to pat my palms, as if I had just touched a pile of very dirty dust. In fact, there was no dust at all on the painting. Alberta cleaned and took care of the paintings like they were her babies.“Then I’ll get the duster in the kitchen to dust them off.”“Well, I’ll go to my room now.”“Aren’t you going to meet Raviel?”“Umm… He’s busy.

I couldn't sleep. My eyes were puffy and red from crying too much. I left Raviel's study around midnight. Luckily, no one caught me leaving his study. Even if they had, I wouldn't have cared. My heart was broken, and my mind was blank. Raviel didn't come home again last night. That gave me so much relief because I couldn't look at him the same way anymore. He was a murderer, a con artist, and a crazy psychopath."Olivia."“Claire? What’s wrong with you? Why does your voice sound heavy and hoarse?”I curled up in a fetal position on my messy bed. One of my hands held the phone tightly to my ear.“I’m sick. I can’t come to campus today.”“What’s wrong with you? You seemed fine yesterday.”“Maybe I caught a virus on the way home. I’m not feeling well right now. My head is dizzy, and I’m very weak.”“Okay. You should rest at home until you’re completely healed.”“Thanks. Let me know if we have any assignments today.”“Tsk, rest and don’t think about assignments. Get well soon, Claire.”“H
