Seven days

Gray Danvers was stunned for a moment, just like that, he was pushed into the house by Mr. Redfield.  Her eyes still didn't leave the blonde girl.

 “Marris… Redfield…”

 Now, Gray has confirmed that the girl named Marris is the rumored adopted daughter of the Redfield family.

 “You're all wet, go take a shower, the room is at the end of the hallway.” Marris handed her a fresh set of clean clothes and pointed to the hallway.

 "Thanks." Gray took his clothes and quietly walked to the bathroom as the blonde instructed.

 When Gray was completely inside, Marris glanced at her brother with sharp blue eyes:

 “Is she the future sister-in-law you said?”

 This is a very difficult question to answer.  Leon Redfield shook his head slightly.

 "Not my future sister-in-law"

 “So what is she?  Why did you bring it back to my house?”

 Her adopted brother was always avoiding women, Marris knew that.  When he was young, he often told her about a very close female classmate and even said that it was her future sister-in-law.  But then one day, he broke down because he heard that his best friend was "dead".

 Apart from Marris, Leon Redfield had almost no contact with girls.

 Suddenly one rainy day he brought a girl back, it must be the girl he often mentioned – Miyano Minami.

 A sly smile painted on Leon Redfield's lips, he unbuttoned the first button of his shirt and headed to the bathroom:

 “She's Gray Danvers now, my sister-in-law.  Drop the word "future"

 To give up or not to give up is only a matter of time.  But is it too early to get married like that?

 Maris let out a long sigh.

 "Oh, I see.  Remember to take it easy and then come down to dinner."

 "Oh, of course."

 Then Leon Redfield walked to the corridor, and Marris turned to the kitchen and intended to prepare dinner, but that thought was extinguished.

 “Forgot… I don't know how to cook?”

 The siege of the two Redfield brothers leaves Gray Danvers with no way out.  Uncle Agasa went on a trip and brought a key with him, so she had to stay at Redfield Mansion for a week...

 "How should I live in these seven days?"

 Turning on the shower to let the water run down his body, the cold put Gray's mind at ease like never before.  She felt nervous, because she didn't know how she would face Leon Redfield after taking a bath.

 Click!

 The bathroom door was pulled open causing her to widen her eyes in shock.

 Leon Redfield stood in front of her and they were both naked, only the thin smoke from the warm water covering their skin.

 “Aaaaah!  Teacher go out now, give me!"

 After that shrill scream, Gray hurls the plastic basin at the other Redfield's head, but he catches it perfectly and sets it down on the brick floor.  Leon Redfield stepped closer and calmly said:

 “This is my house, why should I go out?”

 Gray Danvers's face flushed red, and quickly wrapped a towel to cover himself.  She sternly ordered:

 "Get out, right now!  Before I kick you!"

 Ignoring that threat, Leon Redfield pressed her against the wall.

 "Let's take a bath together, you will be my wife no matter what"

 Gray's biggest mistake was agreeing to step foot in this mansion.  She smiled confidently, even though she was terrified in her heart:

 “Leon Redfield, I will sue you for rape—”

 Before she finished her sentence, her lips were occupied by him, biting like a hungry animal.  Her waist was squeezed hard and then completely controlled by him with his strong arm.  The kiss became rougher, Leon Redfield's tongue quickly pry open her teeth and entangled with each other's tongues for a while.

 Gray Danvers suddenly bit his tongue, of course she couldn't avoid getting hurt.  Both mouths bleed.  Leon Redfield sneered, the faint smell of blood he wiped it away.  He wanted her to be his own, that was his only wish when she suddenly disappeared like the wind a few years ago.

 Gray put his hand on Shinichi's chest, trying to distance himself.

 “Mr. Redfield, that's enough.  This is the wrong thing.”

 "No, I promised Akai, I'll tell you with my life"

 "I don't need you to protect me... And I don't have to protect you like this!"

 He was scaring her, the same way the organization threatened her back then.  Leon Redfield bit Gray's earlobe and whispered in her ear:

 "Will you be my wife?"

 "Never!"

 "Let's go, baby Danvers"

 “Are you now going from a wild animal to a puppy begging me?”

 “Thick face!  Does anyone propose this kind of marriage?”

 Leon Redfield pressed his body to force Gray to lie below, stroking her breasts and squeezing hard.  She shouted:

 "Stop!"

 Leon Redfield pretended not to hear anything.  His eyes were tinged with lust.  Both of them were burning with heat, one trying to take over, the other defying resistance.

 Whatever comes will have to happen, it did happen, with Gray Danvers crying.  As for Leon Redfield, he raped her so many times that it was like eating her alive to be satisfied.

 Gray Danvers lay unconscious in Leon Redfield's chest.  He carefully washed her again and then wiped her body, he carried her into Marris's room and laid her on the bed.

 “Tsk, should I dress her up?”

 Leon Redfield clicked his tongue in wonder for a moment when he saw the clothes prepared for Gray in the basket.  But instead of dressing her up, Shinichi pulled the blanket over Gray and went outside.

 Since moving in with her adopted brother, Marris's three meals a day are all prepared by her housekeeper, otherwise she would have to drag her butt to the restaurant.

 Looking into the kitchen, she saw the housekeeper preparing dinner, the smell of the food stimulating her taste buds.  Marris hesitated because she didn't know if she should come and lend a hand when remembering the feat of burning down the kitchen last time... Although she couldn't cook, at least Marris could help wash the dishes.

 However, the housekeeper spoke up when she saw the blonde-haired owner approach her:

 "Young lady sit down and rest, I'll take care of everything"

 “Um”

 Sitting in a chair at the dining table, Marris looked at the Redfield butler for a moment.  From the time we quarreled in America and then met again until now, he always respectfully calls out "Miss", which sounds uncomfortable.

 Neither of them spoke to each other, Akazaka Minato focused on cooking, and Marris idly watched his every move.  He is very handsome, his nose is high and straight, his eyes are beautiful blue, and his eyelashes are beautiful too.  But even if she looked at him longer, she couldn't talk to him properly.

 “Can you please stop looking at me, miss?”

 “Um… hey, are you still mad at me?”

 "YES"

 Receiving the answer, Marris's face showed full of disappointment, her face down with her hands on her chin.

 Minato saw her action, he didn't want to make her sad, so he lowered his voice:

 "Young lady, dry your hair, don't catch a cold"

 "You don't need to care"

 "It's just a tit-for-tat, if you're cold to me, I'll be rude to you, there's a reciprocity."

 After a few minutes of silence, Marris's hand was gripped tightly, Minato's body behind her.  His lips curled up.

 “Are you mad at me?”

 "No, I don't deserve your anger"

 Saying that, but actually sulking in the heart.  His hand moved to press against Marris' cheek, lips close to her ear, and smiled.

 "The lady's face is heating up."

 Marris blushed furiously.

 “None of your business!”

 “It is my duty to take care of the young lady.”

 "You should take care of the braised fish pot"

 Marris's hand pointed to the black peeled pot on the stove.  The smell of burning in the nose is a sign of bad luck.

 Minato hurriedly returned to his main work, was so busy playing with the lady that he forgot the pot of fish that was unfinished.  Anyway, it's new, it's not burnt, it's good, it's still edible.

 Waited a long time, but still did not see the "future" brother and sister-in-law come out.  Marris felt a little impatient, but also did not want to disturb the two, so she could only sit in the kitchen waiting for a movement.

 After cooking, put the dishes on the table, each dish is beautifully decorated.  I can't believe it's all done by men.  Minato leisurely sat down on the chair opposite Marris, he asked:

 “Miss, when do you go to school?”

 "Going to school?"

 Marris had almost gotten that out of her head.  She smiled sadly.

 “I have no intention of going to school.  I don't fit that place very well…”

 School – it brought back images of her violent past.  She moved back to Japan from the US to avoid a mess.  Marris is not in the mood to carry her bag to school right now.

 What happened to her, Minato understood better than anyone.

 “Forget about the past, miss.  It's been a long time."

 "I... can't do it"

 Cup!

 Tapping the blonde girl's forehead, he smiled faintly:

 “Don't act so weak, okay?  That's not the Maris I know."

 He called her name, for the first time in a year.  Mentally stabilizing, Marris nodded.

 "Um... I'll try"

 "And how long are the other two?"

 "Here you are"

 Leon Redfield stepped down, extremely refreshed spirit after eating everyone else.  His dark hair still stained with a few drops of water, he sat down at the dining table.  Seeing her brother so frivolous, Marris immediately asked:

 “Where's Gray?  What have you done to him?"

 “Just do what should be done.  Will you please change her clothes later, Marris?"

 "Does not matter.  Why don't you do it yourself?"

 This is very difficult to explain, if explained clearly, Leon Redfield will surely be crushed by his sister.  He scratched his head and smiled.

 “Well… in short, it's all thanks to you.  She's sleeping in my room."

 "I think it's better for you and him to sleep together..."

 "Nope, I'm afraid she'll kill me when she wakes up in the middle of the night."

 Just imagining the prospect of midnight sleeping, the knife to Gray's neck and murderous face also gave Leon Redfield chills.

 Minato, sitting next to him, said:

 “Who told you to create a career?  When you have a wedding, let me know in an hour."

 What to marry now, Leon Redfield sighed:

 “Wait for her to graduate”

 “By the way, you two can be arrested for raping a student.”

 Anyway, Miyano Minami has remade her life as Gray Danvers, the age on the birth certificate has also changed.  A teacher tempts students to go home and do bad things, if this news comes out, it will definitely be on the top trending.

 “First of all, do you need me to buy some accrual calendars?”

 Akazaka Minato's thoughts were thorough and thoughtful.  Leon Redfield could only laugh bitterly:

 "No, I don't need it."

 "Let's see, how many books are there for raping an 18-year-old female student?"

 “I told you not to,” Leon Redfield insisted.

 Marris and Minato's eyes looked at Redfield's friend with disdain.

 “Pedophilia ah!  You must be loyal to little Danvers.  If you know which woman I've been cheating with, don't blame me."

 Speaking of which, my beloved sister clenched her hands into fists.  Leon Redfield wondered if this sister loves him more or is the future sister-in-law who has only met once?

 "I'm not a pedophile"

 “But nothing more.  Now baby Danvers is 17, and he's 22 years old.  If it's not called pedophilia, what is it?"

 "Well, I'll give up on you two"

 Late at night startled Gray Danvers awake.  Her whole body ached like she had been run over by a car, looking down, her clothes were already on and she was lying on a large soft bed.  Looking around the room, it had simple decor, there was a large picture of a beautiful blonde girl, who was none other than Marris.

 “Perhaps this is her room.”

 Gray mumbled, trying to get up, and as soon as he hit the ground, he felt like he was stabbed by a thousand needles all at once.  Fortunately, I grabbed the chair so I didn't fall, almost...

 Suddenly she noticed a small framed photograph on the table.

 Gray picked it up, in the picture it was Marris and apparently the housekeeper.  Also in the picture are Leon Redfield and his maid Anna.  They smile a lot.  When the picture frame is turned over, there is a line that says:

 “Caslington 7/7”

 A famous high school in America, Gray had heard of it.  Because the organization has tracked down a traitor there, but the result is nothing and everything is almost forgotten.

 This is Marris's room, but she's not here.

 Bubbling sounds!

 She hasn't had anything to eat all day but a sandwich bought from the school canteen.  Now her stomach was growling constantly, complaining of hunger.

 “Come on, try to wait a bit, stomach!”

 Gray told himself and clung to the wall to go.  This villa is really large, the corridor is lonely, the yellow light adds to the magic.  It took a lot of pain for her to walk down the stairs, in the living room the red-blue light was reflected on the nearby wall.

 "Someone hasn't slept yet."

 "Fortunately, let's go begging for food."

 That was the only thought that played over and over in Gray's mind.  She tiptoed into the living room and looked around.

 Seen from behind, on the sofa are two human heads, blonde and black hair pale from the dim light emitted by the 70-inch television.  There was something interesting on the TV that the two of them watched so intently that they didn't even notice Grey's existence.

 The girl holding a bloodstained stick, her clothes stained with red, she walked around in the forest.  The dark atmosphere enveloped everything until something glowed in the corner of the screen and then blinked.

 The other girl's head was cut in half, her brain spilled out onto a pile of dry leaves.  Blood splattered all over the screen.

 "A"

 Gray Danvers jumped on his ass and fell on his butt to the brick floor.  The two heads on the sofa turned to look at her, their eyes red like devils.

 They say that when you're scared, you can imagine anything.

 "Sister-in-law?"

 Marris ran to help the girl stalking bewildered, her face stiffened.  Then, Minato's figure stood up and turned on the light to light up the living room.  After regaining his composure, Gray Danvers stroked his chest in relief.

 “Mother, in the middle of the night, these two are watching horror movies.  Want to tease each other's souls or something?"

 Observing the future sister-in-law's face, Marris kindly asked:

 “Sister-in-law, are you okay?  Her face is very pale."

 “Of course it's not okay.  I was starving, but I also met two people who scared me to death.  But Marris calls me…”

 "Don't call me sister-in-law!"  Gray shouted in protest.

 Seeing her future sister-in-law's harsh attitude, Marris sighed:

 “Um… sorry.  Do you want something to eat, little Danvers?"

 “Of course I am hungry!”  Gray nodded imploringly as if he had been starved for days.

 Right after that was the voice of the butler Akazaka Minato:

 "Miss Grey, come in for a meal"

 "Thanks"

 The scent of the simple bowl of noodles on the table provoked Gray to approach.  She still kept a calm expression, slowly walked over to sit at the table.  If it weren't for her image, she would have rushed to the bowl of noodles.

 “Have a good meal, miss”

 After finishing work, Akazaka Minato took off her apron, washed her hands, and went to the living room.  He sat on the sofa next to Marris Redfield, the two continuing to watch the horror movie from earlier.

 Gray Danvers was surrounded by a quiet atmosphere.  She slowly feels the food, has to admit that this handsome butler cooks very well.  Her dark eyes glanced at the two people sitting on the sofa.

 It's midnight, she wondered, why are these two sitting here watching a movie?

 “Something shady smells…”

 And that bastard Leon Redfield must have slept on his butt, so he let his sister and housekeeper be so close.

 In Gray Danvers' eyes it was a shadowy intimacy, but in reality it was harsh....

 "Have you given up yet?"

 “For a long time”

 They have a bet against each other.  Watching horror movies after series, whoever screams or falls asleep first will be punished.  The punishment no one wants to hear.

 Sometimes watching movies until morning is still inconclusive.  Basically nothing can penetrate the steel spirit of both.

 After the movie ended, Minato took the remote to turn off the TV, he turned to look at Marris:

 “Just come here today”

 “Um.” Marris nodded and looked into the kitchen: “Grey?  Have you finished eating yet?"

 "Yes," Gray Danvers replied curtly.  She was then helped up to her room by Marris, as she herself could not go up the stairs by herself.

 Gray Danvers huddled under the blankets on one side of the bed, and the blonde climbed in to lie on the other side.

 “Hey Danvers, are you okay?”

 "...Pain." Gray replied in a low voice.

 "Um, a little hard work will help"

 Any pain will pass, but being robbed of innocence in an instant, who can't be sorry.  Gray Danvers frowned.

 “I hate this”

 “To love is to suffer.  That's the law of nature."

 “How can you be so calm, Marris?”

 She turned and glanced at the blonde.  Her eyes were still open, looking up at the ceiling, revealing a melancholy expression.

 “Marris, have you experienced that?”

 "YES"

 Marris's terse answer confused little Danvers' train of thought.  Just then, the blonde's arm wrapped around her back and gently stroked her back, and Marris closed her eyes and said:

 "Go to sleep, you have to go to school tomorrow?"

 “…”

 Then Gray quickly fell asleep.  Even though tomorrow will be unbelievably harsh.

 "Let me go, I can go to school by myself"

 "No, you have to come with me"

 "What do people think when a female student gets out of the teacher's car?"

 "Nothing.  In short, I will take you to school.”

 “…”

 “…”

 Marris watched in disgust as the couple struggled in front of the mansion's gate.  It would be nice if there were more snacks and a chair here, she was willing to sit here and watch her brother and future sister-in-law quarrel like this.

 Remembering in the early morning, when Marris opened her eyes, she heard Leon Redfield's high-pitched scream.  She ran downstairs and saw a scene that couldn't get any dirtier.  Her brother grabbed his foot and jumped up due to being (intentionally) stepped on by Grey.

 Immediately after that, they quarreled with each other until Akazaka Minato took out a kitchen knife that the argument stopped.

 Rule number one in this house: Don't make the friendly butler angry.

 This morning's breakfast wasn't good at all, for Leon Redfield and Gray Danvers always exchanged glances so passionately that they burned.  Without Minato and Marris to suppress, the dining table will turn into a fierce battlefield.

 Returning to the present, looking at his watch and seeing that it was almost time to arrive, Leon Redfield picked up Gray Danvers and threw her into the car.  She had to say goodbye, after being tortured by him last night, she had no strength left to protest.

 The car moved away, Marris turned around and entered the house, the corner of her lips lifted:

 “I should also prepare something”
