Author's point of view... Mike understood his boss's command and with just a single gesture, he immediately evacuated the room leaving his boss and that girl alone on his lap. Though Mike's mind was still in a daze, he didn't dare to ask as he was one of the most obedient men in Robert's gang whereas Noah was gawking blankly at his boss. "Mike, did we just see some illusion? It can't be true right?" Mike stared at him but didn't utter a word. What could he say, this thing was simply unbelievable to him too. "Pinch me..." Noah said extending his hand towards Mike when Mike twisted a good amount of flesh on his arm. "Argh... You ¥€ ^¥ € ¢€ €¥€.... Can't you do it a bit gently?" Noah cried out in pain but that made one thing clear though, it wasn't an illusion. It was all real, an unbelievable reality. They all walked out and the other guests that were present in the room were all taken care of. But those men that they had caught were kneeling in the corridor, trembling
Author's point of view... As the saying goes, if you want to lie about something, then do it more confidently and more truly. So that the truth should shrink before it. Izzy could not have helped but feel that this man was more than just an ordinary wealthy man, there was an unavoidably imposing air surrounding him that could reduce anyone to the size of a dot let alone a mere high school student like her. Under his dangerous and intimidating gaze, Izzy felt a shiver run down her spine and she knew that she couldn't afford to offend him as well as she couldn't afford to please him either. He was like a bitter poisonous fruit, not to be consumed. She didn't know who this man was but for her, this man was dangerous. Either his anger or his interest, she can't have both of them. "Aa Iz...Lily..." She stuttered to lie to him and that man immediately saw through her lie. How on earth is it possible for someone to deceive a demon like Robert Erickson and Izzy was just too naive
Author's point of view... "You little thing, did you really think you can just do what you please without any consequences?" His lips twisted into a mocking smile. Izzy wasn't surprised, she anticipated that he was about to do something to her and she was prepared for that. Her jaw clenched as a series of curses stirred in her mind. "Consequences...! That wretch bastard! Pervert! Rapist! Monster....! What did she even do to have those so-called consequences...!" However, she couldn't say anything louder, because if she did, the pill would melt even more. It took another second for him to bounce on her and she resisted him with all the strength she had. He grabbed her hands on both of her sides and smirked. "Guess, I gotta teach you a lesson...." His eyes glinted with an emotion that couldn't be read as he grabbed a hold of her chin, his lips parted as he lustfully stared at her red lips, forcing her into another fierce kiss. "Ah..." Before she knew what was happening,
Author's point of view... After struggling to free her hand, Izzy studied herself before stepping out of the room, her heart still racing from the unexpected encounter with that mysterious man. His words almost scared her to death. Getting out of the room, she met the two restless men staring at her as if they just saw a ghost. "You are still alive..." Mike couldn't believe what he just saw and Noah moved closer and touched her forehead to confirm. "She...!" he turned to look at Mike in disbelief, "She is still alive..." Izzy was startled for a second, but she quickly composed herself. She has already got out of that devil's lair and these people outside are nothing more than some annoying guards. She just has to get rid of these little devils. Plastering a smile on her face, she swallowed all her anxiety and composed herself before speaking. "Aa...Sir was very tired and he fell asleep" Both the men dropped their jaws and gaped at each other when they heard those thin
Author's point of view... Izzy gritted and held back the urge to smack the man in front of her. How much did she cost? What kind of question was that? Is she a toy or something? She disgusted these people, for them women are just things to use. Bloody bastards...! He asked it so casually as if he was talking about the weather but Izzy felt that question as if a painful wound on her body was scratched. She couldn't take the check, as she needed the money to hire a taxi. "Can you lend me some cash? I don't take checks in payments" she said reluctantly. Mike hesitated, that girl's attitude had surprised him so much. Girls like her will be so excitedly willing to accept the check. After all, who doesn't like money? But this girl asked for cash...! He took out his wallet and grabbed some of the bills out of it. "How much?" he asked again. She shot a glance at those bills and blurted out immediately. "Five hundred dollars would be enough..." she mumbled in a hurry. He was
Author's point of view... Looking at the scenario, walking inside became so hard and heavy for her. Each step was like carrying a huge burden on her shoulders. Her heart started thumping in fear. Did something happen to Dad? As just the thought flashed over her mind, her legs seemed to have lost control and she stumbled while walking. No...! It can't be Dad...! It took her all to convince herself that her Dad was strong and healthy, it must not be her Dad in that coffin. Nothing seems to be right. She took a deep breath as she clasped the doorknob tightly. She stepped in bravely after bracing herself a bit. She had to be brave as her Dad taught her to be brave in any sort of situation. However, when she saw the portrait of the deseeded one laid on the table near the coffin, Izzy felt that her head was swirling and she was about to collapse. "Da...Daniel...!!" a desperate moan left her mouth. Her hands immediately covered her mouth and her vision got blurry due to the t
Author's point of view... The next day Robert jerked awake, gasping for air, struggling to move but gripped with unease. When the realization hit him, he was drenched with sweat. His disorientation alleviated, and he saw that he was alone on his bed. His head was pounding with a terrible headache. It was dark in the room as the curtains were still covered, despite it being noon already. How long had he been asleep? He hadn't slept this well in a long time, and he hadn't had a nightmare that bad in such a very long time either. Last night's memories flashed in his mind. The girl...! Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat when he felt the soft touch on his fingers. As he titled his head, the bed, however, was empty. A dangerous growl escaped his chest. Where is she? He wondered. She drugged me...! He groaned inside his head. Sweeping his feet off the bed, he lunged at the door to see if the girl was still around. When he opened it, nothing greeted him other than a man'
Author's point of view... Mike and Noah, and all others in the corridor, were aghast at the frustrated instruction. No one dared to even let out the breath that they had been holding in, frightened that they would offend the big boss. Mike was so confused though. If Robert had spent the night with the girl, shouldn't he be happy and relieved that his illness had naturally cured? Why would he be frustrated instead? Why was their boss so angry? Did that innocent-looking girl actually do something unpleasing to him? Noah was speechless. He took his boss's words another way. After a moment of silence, Mike coughed lightly and responded. "Yes... Yes, boss..." Mike was the only one who dared to speak with Robert without worrying about getting beheaded and having his head hung on a wall. Robert glowered at Mike and for a moment Mike thought that he had invited death to his door and his face turned pale. "Get everyone involved with her here and ask them for her details. Now!"
