Clyde's words hung in the air, a sense of foreboding settled over me like a dark cloud, threatening to suffocate me with its weight. I had braced myself for the worst, expecting him to demand that I betray Carmine, to take his revenge on him in the most ruthless way possible.

I had prepared myself for the possibility that he would ask me to divulge all of our inside secrets, to tear down everything we had worked so hard to build. But when he uttered those unexpected words, asking me to marry him, I was caught off guard, my mind struggling to comprehend what I had just heard.

For a moment, I told myself that I must have misheard him, that surely he couldn't be serious. But the look in his eyes told me otherwise, a glint of determination that sent a chill down my spine.

I blinked in disbelief, the shock of his proposal reverberating through me like a thunderclap. Marry him? The mere thought was preposterous, absurd.

I couldn't believe my ears. Surely, I must have misheard him. There was

    My hands clenched into fists, nails digging into my palms as I fought to suppress the surge of anger bubbling within me. I despised the way Clyde always acted as though he were the master of the universe, as though he had the right to dictate the lives of those around him with impunity.I loathed him with every fiber of my being, despised the very sight of him and the arrogant smirk that seemed permanently etched onto his face. How dare he presume to think that I would bow to his every whim, just because he had taken me hostage in this godforsaken place?"Then I'm not following your order," I declared, my voice trembling with barely-contained fury as I made to stand from my seat. But before I could rise, Clyde exerted pressure on my shoulders, forcing me back down into my place with a strength that belied his casual demeanor."I'm not done yet," he murmured, his tone dripping with malice as he leaned in close, his breath hot against my ear. And in that moment, as his words hung heavy i

    I paced back and forth across the room, my mind racing with a thousand questions and doubts. What could possibly be driving Clyde to offer such a deal? There had to be some ulterior motive, some hidden agenda lurking beneath the surface. After all, I knew him well enough to understand that he wouldn't do anything unless it served his own selfish interests.But try as I might, I couldn't shake the feeling that there was something I was missing, some crucial piece of information that would unlock the mystery behind his sudden proposal. I racked my brain, searching for any clue that might shed light on his true intentions, but the answers remained frustratingly elusive.One thing was for certain: marrying Clyde was not an option I was willing to entertain. The very thought sent a shiver of revulsion down my spine, the idea of binding myself to him in such a way filling me with a sense of dread and foreboding. No, whatever his reasons may be, I was determined to find another way out of thi

    As Susan's probing questions continued, a flicker of suspicion ignited within me. Why was a mere maid so invested in the affairs of the master and his guests? Her persistent inquiries hinted at a hidden agenda, and I couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to her than met the eye.Determined to uncover the truth, I decided to test the waters, gauging her reaction to my next words carefully. With a calculated air of nonchalance, I casually mentioned Clyde's proposition, watching closely for any telltale signs of surprise or alarm."I think I'm going to agree with the deal he offered me," I declared, my tone deliberately casual as I awaited her response.To my surprise, Susan's reaction was anything but subtle. Without missing a beat, she cut straight to the chase, her question sharp and direct."What deal?" she demanded, her eyes narrowing with a mix of curiosity and suspicion.A small smirk tugged at the corners of my lips as I watched Susan's reaction unfold. ‘There she goes,’

    Susan's desperation was palpable as she struggled against my grip. She knew, just as well as I did, that she had no escape now. Even if she managed to wriggle free from my grasp, the danger loomed over her like a shadow. Clyde held all the cards, and I could easily tip the scales against her at any moment. I watched her with a mixture of pity and disdain as she pleaded. It was a pitiful sight, really, to see someone so utterly powerless in the face of their own demise. But I couldn't afford to let my guard down, not for a second. Susan's fate rested in my hands, and I held all the power. "Only by revealing the truth can you save yourself," I uttered, my voice dripping with icy resolve. The weight of the situation hung heavily in the air. Susan's eyes widened, a flicker of fear dancing within them, as she mustered the courage to respond. Her voice trembled, betraying the doubt that lingered in her mind. "But how can I possibly trust you?" she questioned, her words laced with skeptici

    I released my grip on Susan's arms, taking a step back to put some distance between us. As I studied her face, searching for any flicker of doubt or confusion in her eyes, I found nothing but emptiness staring back at me. Her gaze was blank, devoid of any emotion, her eyes as neutral as a blank canvas. "Why on earth would you help me?" I questioned, my voice laced with a hint of suspicion. A slight furrow formed on my brow as I continued, "I haven't the faintest idea who you are or who you work for." My words hung in the air, a mix of curiosity and caution. Susan's expression remained unreadable as she met my gaze, her silence stretching on for what felt like an eternity. For a moment, I wondered if she would even answer my question, if she would continue to play her games and keep me in the dark. But then, finally, she spoke. "I have my reasons," she replied cryptically, her voice barely above a whisper. I narrowed my eyes at her vague response, feeling a surge of frustration bubb

    As I stood there, my heart pounding against my ribcage, I was utterly shocked. The words she spoke seemed to hang in the air, surreal and unbelievable. At first, I couldn't fathom that any of it could be true. How could it? She wanted me to go with her, to meet her master. A master who, to my astonishment and horror, turned out to be none other than my own father. The same father who had cast me aside the moment I drew my first breath, who had never shown me an ounce of love or compassion. The very same man who had orchestrated the demise of my beloved mother. The enormity of her request weighed heavily on my mind. To confront the man who had caused me so much pain, who had shaped my life in ways I couldn't begin to comprehend, seemed like an insurmountable task. As I weighed my options, the thought of marrying Clyde solely for the purpose of revenge seemed like a tempting prospect. After all, what better way to make him pay for the pain he had caused me than to tie him to me for li

    My heart pounded in my chest as I stood my ground, refusing to back down in the face of Susan's thinly veiled threats. "And why's that?" I pressed, my voice steady despite the roiling emotions churning within me. "What are you going to do if I don't listen?" Susan's gaze bore into mine, her eyes glittering with a mixture of defiance and apprehension. Before she could utter another word, I felt a surge of anger welling up inside me, fueling my actions. Without hesitation, I raised my hand and delivered a sharp slap across her face, the sound echoing in the tense silence that enveloped us. She recoiled in shock, her hand flying to her cheek as she staggered backward, her composure shattered. But I refused to relent, my resolve steeling as I faced her head-on. "Else what?" I challenged, my voice dripping with contempt. "Your master won't forgive me?" A bitter laugh escaped my lips, tinged with a hint of irony. "Or how about I don't forgive him for making my life hell all these years?"

    A sharp intake of breath escaped my lips as Susan leaped out of the window, her form disappearing into the inky blackness below. Without a moment's hesitation, I sprinted towards the open window, my heart pounding in my chest as I frantically wished to save her. But before I could reach her, a deafening thud echoed through the room, freezing me in my tracks. Dread pooled in the pit of my stomach as I realized the source of the sound, my hands trembling uncontrollably at the thought of what awaited me below. As I stood there, rooted to the spot, a cacophony of noises erupted from outside the window, assaulting my senses with their intensity. The once peaceful day air was now filled with the chaotic symphony of distant gasps, shouting voices, and the unmistakable wail of approaching danger. It was chaos outside, people running in every direction, their hurried footsteps echoing off the walls, mingling with the occasional scream from the maids. My heart pounded in my chest as I stood f

    For two years, everything had remained stagnant and unchanging. Despite the passing of time, there was an overwhelming feeling of stagnation in the air, as if time itself had ceased to move forward. My sister, who had once been a vivacious and energetic individual, now seemed to have lost all her vitality. She appeared lifeless and devoid of any joy, as if something deep within her had been snuffed out.All of us, her family and friends, watched helplessly as she slowly withered away. We saw the light in her eyes gradually fade, and her once radiant smile turn into a mere facade. It was clear that she was struggling under the weight of some heavy burden, but none of us knew what it was, nor how to help her.It wasn't until one day, after years of keeping her emotions bottled up inside, that she finally broke down and confessed everything to Fenrir."I can't take it anymore," she cried out, tears streaming down her face. "I'm leaving this pack, and I'm leaving you."The words hung in t

    "Then I hope to see you at my wedding, 'father'!" I spat out the word 'father' with all the bitterness and resentment that had been building inside me for years. Carlo's presence, once a looming figure of authority, now elicited nothing but contempt. His eyes blazed with fury, a storm of anger swirling beneath the surface. I could feel the intensity of his glare, a searing heat that threatened to consume me whole. In that moment, if looks could kill, I would have crumbled to dust under his gaze alone. With a menacing step forward, Carlo moved to confront me, his body tensing with restrained aggression. But before he could reach me, Carmine intervened, stepping between us with a firm resolve. "Enough, Carlo," Carmine's voice rang out, authoritative yet tinged with concern. His stance was protective, a barrier between me and the father whose control over my life had finally slipped away. Carlo's jaw clenched as he regarded Carmine with thinly veiled disdain. "She belongs with her fa

It was as though his thoughts had formed an unbreakable connection with my well-being, transcending time and circumstance. The sight before me, the ascending trail that we embarked upon, seemed to mirror the journey of our camaraderie. As each step led us higher, so too did it elevate the emotions that bound us together.Gazing upon the majestic expanse around us, a cascade of emotions surged within me, threatening to spill over as tears welled up in my eyes.

    In that instant, the room seemed to hold its breath, as if the universe itself were awaiting your response. But it wasn't just a query that I posed; it was an exploration of the intricate layers of my affection. My mother, with her unwavering support and boundless care, had molded me into the person I had become. Yet, you, my love, had carved out a niche within me that was uniquely yours, painting the canvas of my life with hues of passion and understanding.The notion that my concern could be compartmentalized, limited to just one person, felt foreign to the very essence of who I was. You see, dear love, my heart was a vast expanse, capable of accommodating the most profound adoration for both my mother and you. It was as if the tendrils of my affection had intertwined, creating a delicate dance between the woman who had given me life and the person who had breathed new meaning into it.So, as I stood there, the words hung delicately in the air, an invitation to delve into the depths

    Carlo's words sliced through the air, sharp and cutting. "If I knew you were alive all this time, I would have done it way too soon," he remarked, his tone devoid of remorse or empathy.I felt a surge of anger rise within me, threatening to spill over. How could he be so callous, so indifferent to everything that had transpired? His lack of remorse only fueled my frustration, intensifying the urge to lash out.I clenched my fists, struggling to contain the torrent of emotions swirling inside me. The temptation to slap him, to make him feel even a fraction of the pain he had caused, was almost overwhelming.But I held back, knowing that violence would only escalate the situation. Instead, I met his gaze with a mixture of defiance and disbelief."You don't care about anything," I accused, my voice trembling with restrained anger. "You abandoned me, Carlo. You left me to fend for myself."His expression remained impassive, unmoved by my accusation. It was as if my words were mere echoes

    The kiss had been brief, fleeting, but its impact lingered in the charged air between us. As I pulled away, I couldn't help but notice the intensity burning in Clyde's eyes. There was a fire there, a raw desire that sent a thrill through me, even as my heart raced with uncertainty.The flames in his gaze seemed to grow hotter, more insistent, mirroring the rush of blood in my veins.

    I sighed heavily at his question, feeling the weight of exhaustion settling over me like a heavy blanket."Clyde, do we really need to do this?" I asked, my voice tinged with frustration. "Can you not be serious for just one time?"To my surprise, instead of the usual indifference or defensiveness, Clyde's head tipped back and he burst out laughing. It wasn't his usual fake or sarcastic laughter that I had grown accustomed to. This was genuine, unguarded laughter—the kind I had never seen from him before.His laughter filled the room, echoing off the walls and mingling with the tension that had been hanging between us. I couldn't help but feel perplexed, unsure of how to react. This unexpected display of emotion was like a crack in the facade he had always maintained around me, revealing a side of him I hadn't known existed.As Clyde's laughter slowly subsided, he looked at me with a faint smile playing on his lips.

    I was confused. The whirlwind of emotions swirling inside me was almost too much to bear. It was as if my heart and mind were at war, trying to make sense of the situation. I felt a sharp sting of rejection that cut deeper than I expected. Despite having no romantic feelings for Clyde, the hurt I experienced was real and piercing. As I stood there, lost in a haze of my own thoughts, I didn't realize that my emotions were manifesting physically. It wasn't until I felt the warmth of a tear trailing down my cheek that I became aware of it. The tear seemed to hold all the confusion and pain I was feeling, and its sudden appearance startled me. Clyde's voice broke through my fog of thoughts, but it wasn't the comforting sound I had hoped for. "Did you not hear me?" he asked, his tone cold and distant. The chill in his voice made it clear that he regretted ever touching me. His words cut through me, amplifying the hurt and confusion I already felt. In that moment, I could see the regret
