Chapter: First Time CookingAfter saying that, Uncle Matthew walked away. I rushed into the room feeling upset. He shouldn't have said that. I could take care of myself, although I must admit, that incident made me really scared.I sat on the edge of the bed, hugging myself. If Uncle Matthew hadn't saved me, I might have died. Actually, I still felt fear for him because it was possible that Uncle Matthew still wanted to kill me, considering the conversation he had on the phone yesterday. However, why did the uncle who wanted to kill me save me?I held my head, feeling the dizziness coming on. "This is so strange. What exactly is he planning?"I clucked in annoyance, putting together the puzzle pieces that had only been arranged a few. I couldn't find the answer to that at all. If Uncle Matthew wanted to kill me, shouldn't he have let me get killed by the villain earlier?My lips trembled as I looked down at my red-colored sleeves. A fishy odor wafted strongly to my nose. I touched that part. This was Uncle Matth

Chapter: Uncle Saved Me?What happened? Why did Uncle save me?The man with brown hair before me woke me up, sitting with his injured shoulder. My gaze traveled around. We had come out of the small alley where the cafe was located. The streets looked very crowded, and cars stopped irregularly.There were many policemen brandishing guns around us. My eyes widened as Uncle Matthew raised his hand and shot one of the criminals. Another bullet passed through my head like a fast-moving wind that blew away some of my hair.My pupils fluttered violently. "Ah!" I covered my face, hiding in Uncle Matthew's chest.Gunshots could be heard. One of them was from Uncle Matthew. I could still see everything clearly from behind Uncle Matthew's hand.Uncle Matthew's shots managed to hit the legs and arms of the two criminals. I was silent for a while. I didn't know whether to feel amazed or scared because the shots fired by Uncle Matthew hit the criminals right on target.I closed my eyes again behind my uncle's chest. My bod

Chapter: They want to kill me?I glanced at the clock in my hand. It was precisely two in the afternoon. Thankfully, Theo was able to get home early and invited me to meet up.I walked into the small cafe in the alley. It's my regular cafe. This place is relatively quiet. I deliberately chose this cafe because my conversation with Theo was a secret. I didn't want anyone to know.I sat at one of the tables by the window. A waitress came over to me. "Anything you'd like to order, Miss?"I opened the menu book, pointing at one of the drink menus. "Just this."The waitress made a note in a small book. "Please wait a moment. Your order will be made soon."The waitress left. I squeezed my trembling hands together. My gaze traveled around with a feeling of uneasiness and fear. I wanted to talk to Theo immediately. Why hadn't he come yet?I was distracted when my phone screen lit up and rang. Theo's name was on it. I quickly picked it up. "Where are you?""I still have a few things to do. I need some time." I heard Theo's

Chapter: RestlessI ran back into the room. I decided not to protest to Uncle Matthew.My heart was beating so hard that it made my blood flow like it was rippling cold. I went into the room and locked the door. My hands were shaking.I quickly sat on the bed, rubbing my face roughly. "What did I hear earlier? There's no way the woman in question is me, right?"I bit the tip of my index finger, feeling uneasy. I couldn't think straight. Right now, I was terrified of her.I gasped in surprise when my cell phone rang. I grabbed the flat object on the bedside table, seeing who was calling me.I stare at the phone screen, which shows the caller's name. "Selly."She must have wanted to know whether I had protested to Uncle Matthew. I didn't want to talk to her just yet.I watched the lit screen of my phone until it stopped ringing. I quickly texted him if Uncle Matthew still didn't permit me, and then I changed the ringtone setting to vibrate.The flat object vibrated a few more times. I quickly put it down

Chapter: Is He a Murderer?My uncle has a rugged, athletic, and strong body. I don't doubt that at all because I can feel it myself right now."Put me down, Uncle." I rebelled, trying to break free. But no matter how hard I tried, his two burly hands didn't move.Uncle Matthew carried me easily as if my body wasn't heavy. I weighed more than 40 kilograms.He carried me into the room and then threw my body roughly onto the bed. I was shocked by what he did."What did you do?" I stared at him with my heart beating fast. "Why are you being like this to me?"Uncle Matthew came closer, making his signature perfume strong in my nose. "You should act like a mature woman and be more cautious." His harsh tone made me even more shocked, shaking with fear."What should I be wary of?" I ventured to ask him, even with a trembling voice.His blue eyes, slightly covered by his hair, looked at me sharply. "You can't just hook up with a guy. All men are like wolves. They'll use you slyly."Was he talking about my closeness with

Chapter: Strange ThrobbingI exited the car when we arrived in front of the house. Finally, I was released from the awkward and uncomfortable atmosphere in the car. Throughout the trip, I kept looking out the window, annoyed with Uncle Matthew. Just looking at his face made me want to rant again. I walked quickly into the house ahead of Uncle Matthew."You should be able to behave like a mature woman," Uncle Matthew said, which made my footsteps instantly stop.I turned to him, who had just entered the house. My eyebrows drew together sternly. What did he mean? He doesn't like this attitude of mine? I gave him a sharp look."If you don't like my attitude, stay out of my business."I took another step, rushing into the room and closing the door rudely to show my annoyance at Uncle Matthew. I exhaled loudly, throwing my bag onto the bed roughly, causing some of my pens and notebooks to pop out."Who the hell is he, meddling in my business." I threw my weight off, sitting on the edge of the bed with my arms folded
