“Someone will come to help you with your clothes and make-up half an hour from now.”With those words, he soundlessly closed the door.Jane looked at the closed door, clenching her hands into tight fists… How did they get to this point?!After all that happened, how could he stay so calm?Why did he trap her in this extravagant manor?!Now, Alora was her only way of communicating with the outside world. She sat in front of the window, staring. From here, she could see most of the estate.
“S-Sir…?” The old butler was the first to notice Sean Stewart. Despite his age, his venomous gaze immediately found the figure in Sean’s arms. His aged eyes flickered, and the emotion was gone in a flash.“Hm,” Sean responded mildly to his greeting, walking into the room.Without his express orders, no one would foolishly run into the room. Of course, they would not be bold enough to just turn and leave either.All of them just waited at the bedroom door. The door was wide open now, but they
Instead of the humiliation she had been expecting, all she received was that man’s low voice reprimanding her in her ear.“Don’t let me see you running around in such a hurry again.”As Sean said that, he put down her foot. If this woman just knew how to treasure her body a bit more, he would not have to intimidate her like this.He glanced at her feet coldly. “Where are your shoes?”“...?” Shoes?What shoes?Jane followed his gaze as well and finally realized. She had gotten up and run of
Jane was silent as they did her make-up and hair.“Miss Dunn, please put on this dress.” That silence lasted until the stylist handed her a sleeveless white dress.Jane practically screamed her refusal. “No! I don’t like white!”“Calm down, Miss Dunn. You actually look really good in white. Have you ever tried a white dress? I believe that every girl should have a white dress in their wardrobe. Try it on! I guarantee you’ll like it.”“I won’t! I don’t want white! Didn’t you hear me?! I don’t
Ah. She remembered. How would it not hurt?If it did not hurt, why would she dedicate half of her life to it?If it did not hurt, which idiot would use half their life to gamble in this winning battle?The reward was just so that he would turn around and look at her.She used three years to force herself to learn about that person’s coldness and heartlessness. She forced herself to acknowledge the truth. She remembered now. She remembered everything.This was so cruel. Did she have to take back her opportunity to become a coward?She did her utmost to convince herself that if she did not care nor love anymore, she could escape from this loop. In the end, she could not escape from this loop even if she did not care nor love.It seemed like she still minded.It seemed like she would still feel pain. It seemed like the feeling of being infatuated with someone would be carved into her bones forever.She lifted her head to look at the ceiling for a very long time. At that moment,
She extended her left leg and let it hover above the steps. The old butler was standing under the staircase and staring at the woman at the top. Despite being shocked that this woman was not wearing white, who cared? As long as this woman was suffering, it would be fine.This woman must be in a terrible mood now. Was she going to jump down from there?Jump! Jump! Jump!That damn woman. She should have died a long time ago.Damn woman. If this woman had been the one to go through what Rosalin
Then, he changed the subject.“Of course, I have to respect my grandfather. We have more than ten years of relationship between us. I am grateful for that.“I am sentimental about old affections. You have to know this as well.”The old butler’s eyelids twitched. The man in front of him was warning him. What he meant by his words was actually, ‘You’ll stay here until the day you retire. I am taking into consideration our old affections, but you also have to know your place.’He was obviously
This hand had become a scalding hot sweet potato. She wanted to push it away now.Stewart manor.Ring, ring…The phone’s ringtone broke the silence. It was also vibrating.A wrinkled hand took it over to have a look. Then, the figure pressed the ‘accept’ button hurriedly.“Michael! Have you finally decided? Are you willing to help me now? Michael! I told you that this will be good for you! You keep trying to stop thinking about your mother…”“Shut up!” On the other end of the phone, a cold
