VernonI woke up feeling pain all over. The rope was biting into my wrist. Damn, this wolfbane was so strong.There was no window in this cell, but judging from the meal the servant brought me, it had been a few days since they took Shannon away. I hadn't told her about my feelings yet, she was so i
ShannonIt had been a few days since Terry or Jayde last visited. The maids would bring me meals these days. I knew they were away now.Before that I had already surveyed the room, it was just a typical room, there was a big window and the sun could come through, but there were bars around the windo
ShannonI sped up because I knew the first guard would return at any minute, but I wasn't really familiar with the building. I wished I had looked around more when they brought me here. But I remembered I was brought from the cell, it was situated below the ground, so if I go down, I should be able
ShannonI thought the Siren was for me, or for Vernon, no. They were for Mabel. Why did I know? Because the guards were clearly chasing her once they saw us!"We need to split up."What? This was not a horror movie, we didn't need to split up! But when I looked at Vernon, I could see that he didn't
Shannon"Did you tell him the truth?"I thought about what I told him before I was dragged away."Yes, but he didn't take it well. He ran off after hearing what I told him."The image of someone who looked so much like Vernon and as tall as he did, running away in tears made me laugh out a little. V
Shannon"You said that they starve their maids?"We were treading through the woods when I heard Vernon say, he was walking in front of me to lead the way."I don't really know, but I guess she must be really hungry to steal food from me. They were just ordinary food, nothing fancy."He frowned upon
Shannon"You can't expect me to crawl in with this. Was this how you did it when you were young?"I raised a brow to him and asked quizzically. He scratched the back of his head and laughed a little in embarrassment."Yeah, well, I can promise you no one else knows about this. At least not any werew
ShannonI quickly hid behind the pillar. When I heard the footsteps approaching, I clutched the knife I brought with me. Should I use this? But just when I ducked down to get out of sight, I saw a rock on the ground, it was the perfect size. I guessed someone didn't have to die today. But concussion
ShannonSince the game room was more like an individual room in the middle of the yard, we were actually standing in the open.The first thing I noticed was a huge shadow flying over us, it was just a dark cloud was suddenly roaming over us. The second thing I noticed was the voice, it was chirping,
Chapter 115Shannon"I know. But how are you going to do that? If you don't have the secret weapon, you will need all the help you could use."He seemed to be considering what I just said."Yes, but I really don't want to risk you, and that little girl. If you are not going to Arthur's, where do you
Shannon"What do you mean it will need a lot of my blood?""You said it yourself, you need one drop of your blood to light up the rock. But the treasure land is a land. You will need to spill all your blood and maybe some more to get the treasure to unlock. Are you okay with this?"I didn't know. I
VernonI knew my decision not to tell her that my father was the one who made her an orphan would come and bite me in the ass later.But I never expected that the truth would be slapped on her face like this. By a strange guy who was allegedly supposed to be her husband.All I noticed was that I saw
ShannonI said okay because I already saw Adonis standing behind him. Adonis was a little taller than Jayde. I pretended to pick up Isabella and walked over, but no more than two steps, I saw Adonis put him into a headlock.Hugo pushed back and Adonis dropped the knife. I set Isabella down and immed
ShannonBefore I could ask out loud, Vernon was the first to speak."What do you mean gone?""I wanted to check on him after I woke up, and when we walked to the closet, he was already gone..."Fuck, we underestimated him. I remembered we checked on him last night, and that meant at some point last
ShannonI couldn't sleep. I tossed and turned until the midnight blue turned white again. I couldn't stop looking at Isabella who was sleeping peacefully beside me. I knew it was creepy, but I couldn't help but look at her features. And I replied to what Hugo said in my mind.She was my cousin, she
Shannon"What?"I never expected to hear Vernon's name in my family matter..."Didn't he tell you? I expected him not to. Since he brought you here, he knew that you were the heir of the guardian family. In fact, he was the one who told you, right?"I nodded even without thinking. The past 10 minute
ShannonI slowly pushed the door open, making as little sound as possible. Luckily I already checked the door when we were picking rooms. I picked this room because I didn't have to go around any room in case I bumped into Vernon on my way out.I didn't even put on my shoes for this. I supposed ther
