An ugly mysterious man took me into custody because of a debt agreement. I was forced into a contract marriage with him. My life is like hell even though all the luxuries are available. I was imprisoned in the palace, escorted by dozens of armed men. He said he had been waiting for me for a long time. I hated him, even though he was a rich and all-encompassing man. I wanted to go home because I had to fulfil a promise to my father before he died. Every night, he would ask me to come to his room to do something. If I refuse, then my father's life will be in danger. I will do anything to get out of this problem and avenge all their evil deeds.

"Hey! Jina!"I looked back and tried to control my tears. It was Yumi,my best friend. Didn't know that she was at the party too. I waved back at her."What were you thinking, girl? I'm calling your name for ages!"She was panting as she stopped by my side."Oh ,sorry!" I tried to smile."Didn't know you were here.""Didn't know that you were coming too! I can't believe it! You! At a party! Hah!"Yumi said with a laugh. I stood silent, trying to fix my hair."Anything happened dear?"She came closer to me while patting my shoulder. "You look devastated! "I couldn't control myself anymore. Tears came running down my cheeks."It was Derek!" I burst into tears as I hugged her tightly.EARLIER THAT NIGHTI'm Jina, an ordinary high school student. My parents live far away from the city and currently I'm living in the school dormitory room with one of my classmates and also my best friend, Yumi. City life was somewhat difficult at first for an ordinary village girl in many ways. But, I seemed to have a lot of courage to overcome them in my own way. And of course with Yumi's help. I'm now in my second year and also have a part time job at the high school cafeteria to bear some of my expenses.My life is ordinary and usual - waking up at 6 every morning, going for a jog,making breakfast after coming back from the jog for both Yumi and me,having classes and assignments, and then go to work at the cafeteria when most of my classmates enjoy their time either dating or partying. I am not unhappy with my casual everyday life,but... I am not happy either. Sometimes I feel a little bit of missing something inside of me - something warm, something sweet...And,then one day,there came Derek,one of my classmates."Hey,Jina! Wanna go on a date tonight? Come to the party with me,,,,Hugo is throwing a party at his house,,,so,wanna be my date?"I was working at the cafeteria on a sunny Sunday morning while he came and asked me out of the blue. It took me a moment to realise what he was talking about. I was just an ordinary girl and had no special appearance, no special appeal that could attract any guy - I always thought that to myself. I was never asked out by anyone in my life,though I was okay with it. I accepted the fact to be single. It was okay with me to be by myself. I was never invited to a casual party, let alone be anyone's date!"Mmmm,,,,tonight? "I was mumbling and said in a downtone. I could feel my cheeks and ears becoming hot as I was blushing furiously."Yeah! So let me pick you up at 7 then? "Derek looked at me directly with a smile on his face. I was feeling so shy that I lost words to reply. I just nodded my head and smiled back at him. He suddenly placed his right hand on my cheek which made me startled for a moment."See you then,princess!"Then he rushed out.What was that? Was I just asked out on a date by Derek? Or was I dreaming!Derek! The most popular boy in our class! You gotta be kidding me!After my shift was over,I went to my dorm room and looked for any dress that would be perfect for the occasion. But,most of my clothings were just casual work outfits,casual t-shirts and jeans."Why don't I even have anything to wear! At least a normal gown!"I screamed at myself out of despair.Then suddenly,I looked inside of my purse and went out again. I took a bus to the nearby shopping mall and went inside."May be, I can treat myself to a new dress! Come on! You deserve this! You are always working and have hardly any time for yourself! Tonight will be perfect for something new! Chill out!"I said that in my head and took a deep breathe and moved inside....***"You just look gorgeous! "Derek held my hand when I came out of the dorm. I was wearing a white floral gown with matching attires. I blushed shyly as I put my arm on his shoulder. I was stumbling time to time as I was wearing high heels and was not quite used to it.After a while,we went inside the party hall.It was my first time to be in such a place and I was quite mesmerised by everything I looked. I was blushing as I entered there, holding Derek's hand. I saw my classmates, they were looking at me with surprise as no one ever saw me like that before. There were drinks and everything. Some of them were having a pool party at one side of the big lawn. I was looking at everything with pleasure . It seemed like a whole new world that was unknown and undiscovered to me for a long time. And suddenly, I found myself in the midst of it,holding Derek by my side. I was happy,,,,happy for the very first time!"Okay,Let's go!"Suddenly Derek grabbed my arm tightly and dragged me to a corner."Wait,where are we going?"I said loudly as the music was too much to hear anything clearly."We'll see in a minute!"He gave me a mysterious smile.We walked along the hallway and went inside to a nearby room. Derek turned on the light. I went inside when I heard him closing the door behind."Damn! You look so hot in that dress!"And without any notice, I discovered myself tightly wrapped in his arms,he was kissing me like crazy!"Isn't it too hot in here? Or is it just me?"He smirked at me while unbuttoning his shirt. I could see his hard rock six pack body completely uncovered infront of me."Do you want me to help you undress,princess?" He whispered near my ears. I could feel his warm breathing landing on my neck,creating a tickling my sensation inside of my body. Why was it so hot suddenly?I could bearly hear him saying anything as I was too busy touching his abs and kissing him all over his body!Rain walked out of Chiel Burley's private residence after single-handedly defeating the ripping demons. A few steps after crossing the street, Chiel's house exploded. Enormous flames soared into the night sky. Rain grinned while wiping the blood dripping down her forehead."The ripping demon must be buried with their maker. They must be ripped apart together and put into the deepest hell."Gazing up at the dark sky, the full moon shone brightly above her head. Black clouds rolled across the sky. Rain felt a very strong magical energy coming from somewhere.Erica had just arrived at the city of darkness, where she met West and briefly explained everything. Point in seconds, the entire army of darkness from the city of darkness rose and appeared at the border box together; they attacked the pack of wolves trying to protect the city. War is unavoidable.A large, dark creature with wide wings landed right before Rain. Rain had never seen this creature before, but she often heard its name
Rain had turned around and was about to leave Chiel Burley's house. However, the warlock suddenly sat up straight while clutching his sore neck."Who gave you permission to leave here?" muttered Chiel.Rain's steps stopped, and she turned back to Chiel. "No one needs your approval or permission. You don't even have the right to speak before me!"The peak of the full moon is only a few hours away. Rain must quickly find Jace and save him. Rain didn't know that the impact of the curse she had given would be this terrible. Rain had to stop it before something worse happened.Chiel grinned. He stood up with difficulty and challenged Rain. The face of the warlock in the body of a 10-year-old boy looks annoying.Rain really can remember everything. Her past, especially her childhood. Rain remembered always playing together with Chiel in the Darkwood forest. There was one question that always bothered Rain's mind at that time. Chiel's body never grows old or taller, while Rain continues to g
"You were born from a forbidden relationship between King Dauntess II and the palace witch—Alyssa Cruise," Chiel said to Rain."King Dauntess II? Jace Dauntess' father?" Rain almost screamed. "Not!"Rain's eyes flashed red. Something burst from within the girl."Markus Orwell is not your father! Your name should be Rain Cruise. Your mother—Alyssa Cruise, never married a king. You have no right to inherit the Dauntess name."Rain shook her head vigorously. A demonic figure that was uncontrollable and which Rain never realized was stored inside her is now present and wants to take the girl's consciousness.Rain choked Chiel's neck suddenly, very strong and fast. Rain pushed Chiel until he fell from his wheelchair. Rain forced the warlock against the wall as she continued to choke him.On the other hand, Haramon was lying unconscious with a pool of blood seeping from his head. Moments ago, Haramon tried to attack Rain, who threatened to kill Chiel. With just one swing of Rain's left hand
Rain stood up, panting. She held her stomach, which felt like it was being stabbed. God knows how long and far she ran from the Darkwood forest to Westlake City. All the way in Rain's mind, there was only one name. Currently, the distance between Rain and the owner of that name was only separated by a double black door.Without hesitation, Rain immediately pressed the button beside the door hard, fast, and repeatedly. The owner of the house did not appear to answer the door. Rain has no more time. She's racing against time.Rain clenched her fists and started pounding on the black door with all her might. She no longer cared about the throbbing pain in her knuckles. She kept banging on the door like a madman.On the umpteenth bang, the door finally swung open. It was still too dark when the house owner was forced awake to receive a disturbing visitor."Where is Chiel?"Haramon, Chiel Burley's personal assistant, answered the door. He stood confused. His pair of sleepy eyes could not b
The wolf's lips were drawn back so that its sharp teeth showed clearly. Rain saw his red tongue sticking out. There was hatred in his eyes when he saw Erica. It was hatred that was pure and uniquely human.Rain started to think. "The wolf is no stranger! But, where have I seen him before, huh? Was he the pack that attacked me in the Darkwood forest? Or is he part of Hardy's pack?"Rain's thoughts were broken when she heard Erica's voice."Are you coming for the girl or me?" With sweat pouring from her temples, Erica asked, but her hands were steady and tightly gripped by the whips in her hands.The wolf stepped towards Erica with a low growl."There's still time," Erica said. "Markus will definitely want to take you back. Just leave Mayor Flynn."With a growl, the wolf lunged. Erica shouted as she swung her whip in the air to chase the wolf into the wolf's side. The wolf backed away, and Rain saw the blood dripping between the dense fur. Blood flowed again as the wolf tried to attack
After slapping Erica in such a daring manner, Rain wished she could glean some explanation about her father's connection to everything that had happened. However, Erica remained silent like an unshakable rock.The door closed behind Erica, leaving Rain alone in Jace's room. There was only Rain's heavy breathing and the sound of her fingertips trying to tug at the door handle and banging, all to no avail."Damn it! Erica locked me in here. What does she really want? And my dad, why is he involved in all this? He was behaving very strangely. He's not like my dad, but someone else who is a complete stranger."After trying various ways to escape Jace's room and failing, Rain finally smashed herself against the door again and again until she was tired. Her side ached. Rain slumped to the floor and tried not to cry."Somewhere, my dad is taking Jace somewhere, and I don't know what he's going to do with that young man. I should be more worried about my dad. But now, I feel disgusted and ang
"I want your promise first," Erica said firmly one more time."First? You don't believe me, Erica?" Markus smiled humorlessly. "I will definitely do as you have asked. A promise is a promise. Although I was a bit surprised when I received your message. I didn't think you would mind living in a palace as grand as this. You never like being in silence?""You don't know how that feels," Erica hissed. "Every time I feel afraid if the child dies.""That's right. I don't know." Mark's voice sounded sad as if he pitied Erica. But there was dislike in Mark's eyes. There was also reproach in his tone. "If you haven't succeeded in resurrecting the witch, you shouldn't have called me here."Erica's face contorted. "It's not easy to restore her strength. People have to find a way, but nothing works. Including… us." Erica's voice trembled."You mean that fragile prince?" Markus turned to Jace, who was tangled in thorns on one wall. Mark chuckled. "Kids grow up fast, don't they? The last time I saw
Rain heard Jace screaming in his room in the east tower. When Rain ran and pushed open Jace's bedroom door, she saw the room filled with swirling black mist.Rain was confused by the situation that occurred. When she approached while calling out Jace's name in panic, pain spread across Rain's arms, cheeks, and even all over Rain's body. The girl screamed. Then instinctively, Rain covered her face with her hands.Rain felt something wrapped around her body. Feels like the barbed wire that is sharp and stabbing. Rain squirmed and struggled. However, the entanglement felt increasingly piercing the skin until it penetrated the flesh."Not! What's this? Jace, are you all right? What's going on here?"Rain couldn't see anything other than the dense fog clumping around her. She thought Jace was again possessed by the monster inside him. However, Rain heard the sound of footsteps."That's enough!" shouted Erica in a calm voice.Erica waved her hand in front of her face, and instantly, the bla
Rain turned to Erica and let go of the woman's grip. Then she turned to Ben. Now, Rain looked at Ben seriously and said something only they could hear."No one knows how to cure it," said Rain. "Jace has been injured by a powerful ripping demon. No mortal doctor knows how to treat a wound like that."Ben had already opened his mouth and was about to issue words to refute Rain's statement. Ben thought he had many different ways of treatment that may be Rain didn't know about. But, suddenly, Ben chose not to speak and fell silent. Ben realized it would all be in vain. Because Ben knows that when Rain has made a decision, the girl will not turn away from her commitment.Erica felt disappointed, and she thought Rain would instead join Benjamin. Erica did not blame the girl's decision. Because of the situation, if you look at it from anywhere, Jace looks really detrimental to Rain. Thus, Erica turned around and returned to her friends."She doesn't want to come with us?" asked Samantha dis
