Pandora repeatedly tapped her fingers with her arms bent on the bar counter. Waiting for Raymond, who had just walked into the dimly lit hallway after the man had left her alone to stare around at the half-drunk people enjoying the deafening music.
There was a sense of dread as Pandora began to think about the employment contract she had signed. Raymond might have agreed with Pandora's statement about her decision to quit if she didn't feel like it, but Pandora wasn't sure this was going to work out. The thought of her being alone in a crowd was terrifying. Pandora should have listened to Anna. The girl had warned her many times, even forbidden her from making money-losing deals. But Pandora needed the money. There was no denying that the heartbreaking events Kingston had created were a nightmare for her. Pandora always felt threatened by what she would say to the man of her future. She had plans to get married, but who would accept her condition after meeting a man lIt was an exact repeat of the same ugly incident when the big bed rattled. Pandora staggered backward to avoid the predatory and hateful gaze of the man who had dragged her along the entrance of the mansion until it ended in a meaningless scare. Kingston towered over her and then on all fours quickly pulled Pandora to her back. The body was trapped between the arms and the clay muscles that were ready to pounce on Pandora at any moment. Tearing the clothes apart into useless splatter, exposing Pandora's slippery skin from sweating in the car. Kingston had deliberately not turned on the AC. Intentionally making them stuffy together, then when he had the time, he stripped Pandora naked by ripping off every last bit of fabric that covered the rest of her curves. His spectral eyes moved wildly, replacing the function of the tongue to cram in the sexy sights of his sweet Pandora. Kingston was drawn to a challenging part that had long been left untouched. The fingers of a h
Pandora's breath caught, thinking she would never survive Kingston's passion. But what Pandora was seeing was shocking. She winced as she suddenly jumped up, holding her sore lower abdomen. And that was her body's reaction after opening her eyes for the first time and realizing that her body was still in the same room. A space where there was nothing Pandora could defend. Not her pride. Not even the remnants of consciousness she had, despite her best efforts not to drown in the trapping darkness. What an irony... the man was getting satisfaction while Pandora had to wake up with a burning anxiety. She didn't know what to do. She didn't have enough courage to just let her feet rest on the cold marble. Pandora was afraid that she would take the wrong step. Afraid that she would have to accept a more painful stabbing. Pandora rubbed her face roughly, unable to recall the events of last night. Her nerves flashed, only to realize that the bed she was on was slightly different f
What could Helios say if all of Aceli's statements were true? About how Pandora was in the mansion, while Aceli had to stay in one of Kingston's penthouses in Bristol. The two exchanged positions just before Kingston took Pandora to leave Cambridge. An arrangement. Kingston never wanted Pandora and Aceli to meet. But today Kingston's decision seemed to be reversed. His little girl had suddenly arrived without permission with the nanny and bodyguard assigned to look after Aceli during her stay at the penthouse just because Kingston had spent almost a day in his room. Not seeing anyone. Unable to get up for anything. As Helios watched the way Pandora stepped and as Pandora grimaced to kneel before Aceli. He could understand why last night. After leaving Pandora's room. Kingston felt like he was being hunted by something, staggering across the wide distance from one room to another. There was so much loss inside his body that he could not have reached the right wing of the m
"Where is Aceli, Miss?" Pandora frowned as Helios' voice suddenly entered the kitchen and startled her. She turned to find him beginning to pace slowly. "Aceli is in my room. Asleep." Satiated. Sat up for a while. Falling asleep. That's what happened to Aceli after adding three more plates for dinner. Pandora only cooked quail egg soup, but Aceli liked it very much. Not a few always mentioned that the flavor of Kingston's cooking tasted exactly the same as Pandora's. "Sleeping?" Helios' question had an incredulous tone. He was just confirming what Pandora had said, because it seemed that Aceli was not usually quiet at night. The little girl was too active. "Yeah. I'll wake her up if you want to move her to another room." "No need, Miss. Just leave her alone." Pandora nodded, thinking it was a good time to find out. "I found something wrong with Aceli. A child of her age doesn't recognize a mother figure. Isn't that strange, Helios?" Pando
"Sister Panda, I'm bored. Why doesn't Daddy still want to open the door? I want to see him...." Aceli complained disinterestedly, leaning against the railing of the stairs while playing with her stuffed pony, which she said was given to her by Kingston. She often looked glum as she looked up at the door to Kingston's room, which was comfortably closed, as if there was no life there. "Sister Panda, why won't you call Daddy for me? I won't eat if Daddy doesn't come out." "Sister Panda, don't push me anymore." The stuffed pony was thrown down, rolling once after Aceli buried her face between the folds of her arms. Pandora could clearly hear Aceli slowly starting to raise her voice. She would pick up the pony doll first and then go over to the little girl Kingston to seduce and make Aceli calm down soon. The act of simply bending down to pick up the object lying on the ground was put on hold. Pandora felt uncomfortable realizing that someone's footsteps seemed to be
Kingston didn't want to accompany Aceli up the stairs, so Pandora did what she could to prevent whatever was lingering in her mind. She was a little calmer after asking Aceli to go to her room after the first step to reach the second floor. Now Pandora chose to stay in her own room, thinking about how to avoid Kingston. She pulled up the blanket, closing herself off tightly from any threat. The door to the room was locked. It would be better if Kingston never came in and did whatever he wanted, especially if the man touched her again. Pandora's arm slowly stretched out to grab the phone that was lying on the floor. Instantly deciding to pull back the thick cloth that was spread across her body. Pandora's mind suddenly remembered to check what her face looked like in the mirror. She sighed as the bottom of her eyes looked puffy. She would never dare to contact Chris, or it would spark anxiety for her father. Only the words ifs and ifs implied why she had to cry over he
Pandora moved slowly just to make sure whether or not Aceli had fallen asleep after the milk bottle that the little girl was holding slipped from her hand. Aceli's eyes were closed, but unfortunately there was still quite a lot of chocolate milk left in the bottle. There was no way Aceli could continue sipping her chocolate milk. Maybe Kingston .... Pandora wanted to talk to the man, thinking Kingston was still in the same position, knowing he was standing close behind her body when Pandora turned around; she immediately faced the towering body. "Is she asleep?" Kingston's question seemed deliberate, while Pandora was sure the man had just noticed Aceli's sleeping face and grabbed the bottle of milk. Pandora was about to move. At least Pandora didn't have to think about how to hand it over. All she had to do was think of the right words to say to Kingston, just in case he was willing to do what was on her mind. "What are you going to do with the milk?"
Early in the morning the sound of horseshoes stomped loudly, drawing Pandora's attention to peek out from her open balcony. She clung to the guardrail. It was a rare sight—something Pandora almost never thought was happening. Kingston's and Aceli's bodies shook in the midst of horseback riding. The run was fast and steady, as was the clutch of Kingston's arms around Aceli's small body. Meanwhile, both men's legs were tightened tightly on the horse. Kingston's one arm held on to the reins. The man wanted to control the horse, but Kingston seemed to be merely leading Aceli around the yard. Pandora wondered if it wasn't Aceli's first time. A glimpse of Aceli was caught opening her mouth wide, and her voice was faintly heard in the air. It reminded Pandora of the old days, when she was so little, Chris used to take her for the same thing. "Sister Panda!" Aceli's wave was greeted hesitantly. Pandora clenched her fingers quickly as Kingston looked up briefly and then refocu
"Arcadeaz... you mean Arcade?" asked Pandora. Swallowing hard after she found Voleski nodding vaguely. The woman confirmed the big question that now led to the real answer. The name that had once fallen from Kingston's lips was now gone. Now Pandora wondered who that woman was to Kingston. She was quite surprised when Voleski spoke up again beside her. "She's his ex-lover. Just the past." It was as if the old woman knew what was brewing and made Pandora wonder. What kind of past? A past that had gone so far that it was deeply imprinted and difficult to forget. Helios had said Kingston had never married, but wasn't it a bit much to build a tomb in the form of a monument to commemorate someone's passing? Pandora still couldn't believe what she currently knew. A rough man. Full of decisiveness and all kinds of tactics to silence the enemy into silence would hide something like this. Kingston must have fallen too deeply in love with the woman the man had mentioned in his
Time had passed quickly since Kingston left Pandora in the room with Aceli. This morning Pandora had been frantically scrolling through her cell phone to contact Chris to resolve her endless inner conflict. Thankfully, Chris' reply didn't complicate Pandora's feelings, so she didn't have to be too bitter about having refused her own father's visit, which Kingston would have allowed. Pandora would have left Bristol to fulfill her overwhelming desire to meet him. But in reality she could only accompany Aceli in the mansion's side yard. Meanwhile, Aceli was busy with the toys that were scattered around. Pandora was thinking of a conversation about the way Kingston had warned Aceli. Although Aceli was still too young to understand Kingston's words, Pandora knew very well why the man had to say something that was not meant to be said. She was sure that when Kingston was lying weak, he could clearly hear how Aceli had made the heart-piercing request. And Pandora's answer might
The sound of purring spread throughout the room, just like a long, strange, and unusual purr. Even so, Pandora still maintained a closed-eye stare after she was woken up by something too noisy nearby. Pandora admitted that the voice she was trying to recognize was a familiar one after a long time. That was it. The rest she couldn't add any spice to. Her smile was being held back by the excuse of sleep, but she had fully made up her mind to do something about it. Waiting for the right time, at least until the snoring sound was gone. Occasional small movements shook Pandora's position. She knew it was none other than Kingston. The man took a little control, forgetting that all night Aceli had been the master of dimness. In control of the entire bed, Pandora had to keep shifting. Stumbling next to Kingston, the man almost clashed on the edge of the bed and touched Pandora's arm in her long pajamas. "You can go. I'll see you and the others tomorrow morning." The fai
A simple, murderous question, stabbed right through. Pandora half-turned her face away from Aceli, barely able to utter a word to sarcastically quote the pathetic question. She was silent with her tongue in her throat. Thinking of how she could agree to Aceli's request. While Kingston was not at all the man she wanted him to be. Let's just say we're engaged.... Kingston's statement the other day was already forgotten by Pandora. She no longer thought of Kingston as her fiancé since she decided to sell the ring, which she had left in London on the table in Anna's room before going to commit to the job Raymond had offered her. Pandora had left Anna a message, and yeah, the girl had kept the ring for her. "Sister Panda, why the silence?" Aceli's voice was full of disappointment. Describing how the little girl felt so eager for Pandora to give her a sweet answer. But it would be a shock to Pandora if she said yes to Aceli's wishes. "I'm too young to b
"You're so heavy!" Pandora had finished everything. But the difficulty from the start was moving Kingston's body from one place to another. It took all kinds of effort to exert, and right now, Pandora could barely control her balance as Kingston's presence at her side with his arms draped over her shoulders began to weigh her down. Kingston was huge. Tall. Many times Pandora's stature. The top of Pandora's head was only as high as the man's chest; how could she possibly adjust to being choked? Meanwhile, Kingston's lack of strength became a heavy point that Pandora had to deal with. She was getting wobbly. Swaying, but still wanting to hold on to everything she could. Little by little, Pandora clung to Kingston's body tighter. Frowning deeply to balance herself, she saw that the slippery marble was a violent upheaval. Pandora slipped, turning the situation upside down. She was pulled. Overlapping on the surface of Kingston's silent body. "Are you okay, King?"
The door in front of Pandora was open, but she was hesitant to step in. In front of her was a four-poster bed receiving a guest and its true owner. There was nothing wrong when she asked Helios to bring Kingston to a space she could enter at will. A space where she had a lot of freedom to express herself, even though Pandora did not dare to do somersaults now. Kingston was probably silent. Shutting his eyes like a handsome undead. But Pandora was well aware that the man who had been lying down since returning from the forest was in a state between consciousness and unconsciousness. She caught the frown before leading the doctor checking Kingston's condition out of the room. "King ...." After dispelling the various doubts that were scattered in her mind. Pandora ventured to take a step or two closer. Kingston's face was very pale. Surprisingly, the doctor showed an unusual reaction after diagnosing Kingston with the words 'excessive fever'. It seemed that the mid
Kingston was never content to just touch Pandora, who was on her back. He turned Pandora's body upside down. Pulling that tempting ass up into a beautiful pose, he shot his big, still-tense cock into her. "Engh... King!" Pandora felt very full. Kingston pounded her with a regular tempo. The man's fingers did not stay still. Squeezing Pandora's chest to keep it from being thrown in various directions. After all, that adorable body part was Kingston's goal to make him and Pandora stick together. Kingston's hissing and Pandora's long moans were proof of their amazing union, delivering a rush of pleasure. Dopamine sensations were everywhere. Pandora's struggles were no less wild. Both of them were feeling an explosion of passion. Pandora was a young leaf in synergy, while Kingston was a demi-god—certainly having the desire to push each other to satisfaction. Pandora did not lie; Kingston's desire was hard to ignore. She tried a thousand times. Denying that she would
"What you must face is your fear, Pandora. Not the water, which is completely helpless because your weight is so annoying." Kingston's lips were good at giving advice. "I pity the waters." And amazingly adept at making fun when Pandora couldn't even care about anything, other than hoping Kingston would do something soon. At least get Pandora out of the lake. She really couldn't control herself. She wanted to give up and just let the water engulf her. But Kingston wouldn't agree to Pandora's easy death. The second Pandora was sure the water would eat her alive. Kingston deftly pulled her out of the puddle that was rippling because Pandora's movements were so spontaneous. "I threw you to a spot that's not too deep. You can still touch the ground." The restrained tone showed that Kingston was furious. The way he was watching Pandora as she stood there in shock was evident from the slight narrowing of his eyes. While anyone would see, including the horses
"Are we stopping here?" The lake before Pandora lay still. A location where she had no idea Kingston would halt their journey and tie the horses under a tree. Pandora glanced around the forest. There was no one. It was quiet. Deserted. The two were quiet amongst the serenity of the lake. "Get down." Kingston's deep voice said. Soon the wind suddenly picked up. Pandora looked at the man carefully. To her, Kingston extended an arm to be welcomed immediately. There was no way Pandora could refuse. Somewhat hesitantly she dismissed some things about Kingston. As their hands linked together. It was a form of decision to let Kingston come back to her aid. "Where are you going?" asked Pandora after understanding that Kingston's next step would continue until the broad shoulders were completely out of the way. Kingston's deft movements pulled the plain white T-shirt off the man's own body. The tips of his toes were already touching the lip of the lake. At that
