Jeslyn followed the man wearing all-black closed clothes who walked hurriedly ahead. Her face, filled with curiosity, slowly turned confused as the man-made movements seemed to confirm the situation.There were times when the man stepped quickly as if he was about to run, making Jeslyn run a little, too. There were also times when the man slowed his pace and hid, which made Jeslyn follow suit.This continued until they were a good distance away from where Clarita, Sarina, and Mr. Adrian were. Jeslyn didn't realize it because she focused only on the man she was following. She wanted to make sure if he was really someone she knew or not."Where is he going?" Jeslyn muttered in confusion as the man turned down a small street that looked very quiet.As she followed him, her gaze wandered around, and in that instant, her forehead couldn't help but furrow when she saw the large building beside her and the vast grounds around it. This seemed to be a private estate. She continued to look at e
Sarina looked closely at the beautiful girl sitting in front of her with her charming look. From the way she spoke, smiled, and laughed to the way she sat, she continued to pay attention. However, she, who was originally just curious and wanted to make sure, now felt fascinated.Veronica was the true definition of a beautiful girl.Everything about her looked very attractive. Even whatever she did was comfortable to look at, making anyone who looked at her would not feel bored. A girl like her would be the belle of the ball anywhere because of her truly alluring beauty.No wonder Felix chose her. Even a woman like her, let alone a normal man like Felix.Clarita picked up her drink, took a small sip, and then set it down again. Her eyes glanced at Sarina, who had been silent with her gaze fixed on Veronica. Instantly, her cackle was present. "Sarina, don't you want to talk?"Sarina instantly realized and turned her head nervously. "What?"Clarita's chuckle turned into laughter. "What's
"How could this happen? What have you guys done to make my sister disappear like this, huh? And why are you telling me this? She's my sister, my only family, the little girl I love the most, but... what if something happens to her?" Miles was furious with Mr. Adrian and Secretary Jorell after learning that Jeslyn was missing. He didn't care that the person he scolded was an important person who owned a large company. His emotions couldn't be contained, and there was nothing to do but vent them. "And what was that? You didn't notice that she disappeared? Hah! If I knew you guys didn't consider her important to the point of ignoring her like this, I wouldn't have allowed her to get close to Felix! Crazy people who can only focus on their interests!"Secretary Jorell's face turned sour. He glanced at Mr. Adrian and said, "Mr. Miles, please listen to yourself.""If you lost your sister, the person you love and have always protected, just because of someone else's carelessness, would you s
In a dimly lit room, a girl was sitting limply in the corner. Her eyes were tightly closed, and her legs and hands were tied together.She was Jeslyn.Her long hair looked messy, with a few strands stuck to her sweaty temples.The atmosphere around was very quiet. Other than the small yellow lamp in the center of the room, there were no other sources of light, adding to the silence and gloom of the place.Not long after, Jeslyn's eyelids moved slowly before finally opening. Her gaze looked dazed with a faint furrowed brow, trying to figure out where she was. Suddenly, a memory flashed through her mind, making her immediately sit up straight and look around her wildly. "I was kidnapped."Then she looked down at her legs and hands, which felt difficult to move, and nodded confidently, confirming her previous words. "This is not right. I need to get out of here."Under the minimal lighting, Jeslyn again cast her eyes around in search of something that could be used to untie her bonds. Ho
"Olivia, it looks like we're really going to end up in this place," Jeslyn whispered in a choked voice.Olivia, who had been glued to the man who was still laughing loudly in the doorway, turned her head. Her expression turned flat. There was annoyance in her eyes. "You're finished, I don't want to. I have a long future ahead of me, and it can't be wasted because of that crazy man. I will fight him and get out of here safely."Jeslyn's expression instantly changed. She turned her head, looking appraisingly at Olivia's body. That, of course, made Olivia feel uncomfortable. "What did you see?""Are you sure?" Instead of answering, Jeslyn asked. "Didn't you just say that your back hurts again? Ah, forget it! Before thinking about that... take a look at your legs and arms. Let alone getting out safely, you might not even be able to remove that damn rope."Olivia suddenly came to her senses and looked stiffly at the rope that bound her. It looked like what Jeslyn had said was true. Just lo
"Olivia!" shouted Jeslyn, going over to Olivia to help her up. However, before her hand could reach out, Bliss viciously kicked her as well, sending her tumbling backward with a resounding cry of pain."Shut up if you don't want to feel the consequences!" threatened Bliss with a glint of earnestness in his sly eyes.However, Jeslyn was not a girl to give up. She quickly got up, regardless of her sore shoulder, and glared at Bliss. "You shut up! One more time, you hurt me or Olivia, and your sentence in prison will increase!""Oh yeah?" Instead of being scared, Bliss mocked Jeslyn and laughed loudly.Jeslyn's emotions were running high. She released the ropes on her legs and arms and stood up. And out of nowhere, she pressed down on Bliss' neck using the rope. Bliss was, of course, shocked by her sudden action. Even Olivia, trying to get up with the pain in her back, widened her eyes."Jeslyn, don't!" she shouted in panic. She rushed over and tried to pull Jeslyn away, but the girl see
The arrival of that person, who knows who, unconsciously exerted pressure that made Bliss and his friends uneasy. His tightly covered face, coupled with the light from outside, made him look even more majestic, like someone from another realm assigned to teach the bad guys a lesson.Even as his feet began to take a step, the tapping sound of his shoes echoed, further adding to the invisible pressure. The aura around him suddenly became terrifying. The two men who had been assigned to take care of Jeslyn were now standing upright and staring at the person with great vigilance."Who are you?" asked Bliss angrily. He was annoyed that her activities were being interrupted by an unknown person. "Do you know who you're dealing with? I'm having fun, and you're ruining it! Are you looking to die?"However, the person did not give any response other than stopping his steps right in the middle of the room.Bliss was getting angry. He looked at the person in front of him and realized it was a ma
But something unexpected happened.Bliss, who had been laughing triumphantly, now turned pale. She stared in horror at her dagger that could not hurt the man in front of her. Let alone scratching him, even if she kept pressing it, the sharp object could not move at all, like a barrier was blocking it."You... who?" Bliss' voice trembled as her gaze now rested on the man's sharp eyes.They were sharp, empty, and full of hatred. A gaze that no human should have.Knowing this alone, Bliss immediately pulled away and tried to create some distance from him. "I have no problem with you. You were the one who ruined my fun first. What I did earlier was nothing more than self-defense because you... my friends, you even killed without knowing what we did wrong."Unfortunately, all his words were just like a breeze to the man. Either he wasn't listening, or he didn't care, but he didn't seem to have any emotions other than anger. His gaze continued straight at Bliss, like a hitman targeting his
