Her luxury lifestyle wishes came true in a snap: King size bed, sophisticated lights, lavender scents all over the place and expensive furniture are all in one room. In just a blink of eye, a duck turned into a swan princess who woke up in a foreign place.
"W-Where am I?"
The rushed of sitting up and the hope to find an answer or a help by looking around means she was brought here by unknown person. Shallow breathing escaped out from her trembling lips as the memories of that night are gradually coming back:
"It w-was my father who told me about the HongYoonChoi Organisation."
A gentle looking man named Joshua tucked her hair behind her ears. It maybe a sweet or a heart fluttering move, but the fact that he is the heir of a frightening organisation made her stiff on that comfort room's ground floor.
"Oh dear. Who is your father?" those words was whispered on her ear thus she gulped by his warm breath brushed on her pale skin.
"My father told me that I should not tell his name to anybody that recklessly. Or else, m-my l-life is at stake," Celine stuttered.
"Really?" Joshua, a lustful monster, chuckled. "Baby. Can't you read the situation? I believe I warned you at the first place to tell me honest facts and reasons. In any time, I can kill you, without a trace. Have a faith on me dear. And I will assure you a longer life. Unless you suddenly got into an accident." He squeezed her cheeks, as his teeth gritted in madness. "Now, tell me. Who is your father?"
Die or live? Celine has only two choices. And so...
"My father is K-Klide," she confessed.
Joshua, who seems like a man without fear, became pale as white as snow when he heard her father's name. He loosened his grips, sat down on the ground and caught his face with his palms. "M-Mister Klide?" he stuttered.
Looking at his reaction, Celine was confused. The way he said her father's name, she concluded that this guy knows her father! "Do you know my f-father?"
He didn't answer. Instead, he held her shoulder and said, "Listen. As what your father said, you'll put your life in danger if you'll tell his name to anybody. So shut your mouth and never ever tell it to others, except me. Also, you need to leave your place and go to my house. I don't take 'no' as an answer."
"H-Huh?" Celine reacted, quite dumbfounded. "Are you asking me to live with you?! Why should I!?"
Joshua chuckled. "I've said that I won't take 'no' as an answer."
Then he swings his hand and gently hits a pressure point on her neck to make her lose her consciousness .
"Wedding. Reception. Kyla. Rich bitches. Boyfriend. HongYoonChoi. And Father," she mumbled after remembering last night's incident. "That jerk. He brought me here in force!" she shouted, clenching her fists. Her voice echoed around, and yes it seems there are no one. No one. No one inside that cold room beside her.
Tears are already building in the corner of her eyes. She hugged her knees with his smelly dress, shivering in cold as she was scared about next thing ahead of her. 'Am I going to die?' Celine always asked inwardly.
"Knock knock!" A man's voice from outside. Celine quickly set her eyes on the door's direction, not answering because she wasn't sure if she has the rights to do so. "Since this is not your room, I won't ask for your permission. I'm coming in!"
She crawled backwards until her back is already against the head of the bed without leaving the sight of the door. Then a blonde haired pretty guy went inside. It was Joshua's friend and HongYoonChoi's second heir, Jeonghan Yoon.
"What are you going to do to me?" Celine asked with shaking voice. "Am I... going to die?"
But the man just laughed at her. "Hey, that sounds so cliche, 'ya know. Why don't you try using new and refreshing words like: 'Why does a handsome guy is standing in front of me?' "
'He is not normal,' Celine told to herself.
"Hey. Are you deaf?" Jeonghan added upon her silence.
Celine realised that there is no point on talking back, since she is only a prey who needs to obey the predators. So she just tilted her head and chose to shut her mouth.
"Boring," Jeonghan mumbled before he threw a clean and new clothes on her face.
"Ahhh," she winced in pain.
"Go take a bath. You smell like poop."
'Smell like poop?! Celine looked at her dress and found out how messy it is! "Oh no! I haven't pay this! This is very expensive!"
"I doubt that. Where did you buy it? It looks like a class A imitation." Jeonghan shared, holding his chin.
"Imitation? No way!" Celine defended. "I bought this from department store."
"Which mall? They shouldn't fool their customer. MY business is in the line of fashion so telling a brand whether it is fake or not is easy."
"Really? I bought this for $150! I wished I could return this. But not it looks very messy. Argh!"
"Pffft. How can you go and return that shit? You still not allowed to leave here, remember?"
That's right! The outside's matters are not important when she is here as a prisoner.
"Now stop being so noisy and take a bath," Jeonghan commanded, crossing his arms.
"I don't want," she refused after avoiding his gaze.
"Oh wow. So brave. And why would you not?" he asked, quite surprised by her reaction.
"Why should I obey a bad guy like you?"
One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Five seconds of silence visited the room. Jeonghan let out a smirk, seems he's enjoying her company. "Yes. I am a bad guy. That's why..."
"Oh! Hey! Put me-! Argh! Put me down!" She protested when he suddenly carried her in a bridal way. "I said, put me down!"
"Shut up bitch," he commanded with a fierce look that made her stopped.
He kicked the bathroom's door opened, went in and threw her inside the bathtub with water. "Ouch! How can you threw me away that bad?" She complained, coughing a bit and brushing her wet face.
"Cause I'm a bad guy. You said it baby," he answered while his brows moving up and down.
She realized that there is no point squabbling with a guy like him.
"Okay okay okay. I'll take a bath. P-Please go out."
"I don't want."
"Eh? Why?!"
"Why should I obey you? You must obey me."
"And why?"
"Cause I'm a bad guy." Then he showed his knife he got from his pocket.
"A-Are you going to kill me now?" Celine stuttered.
"Nope. If you stripped your clothes in front of me, then I won't," Jeonghan said in serious tone.
Celine gulped. It became a life and death situation again! What should she chose? To die or to strip her clothes?
She closed her eyes and put her hands on the tip of her dress. Jeonghan smile faded away when he realised that she took his joke seriously. When she is about to lift up her dress, Jeonghan turned around, commenting, "Idiot. You are so boring." Then he went outside.
"That girl. She is insane. Pffft haha," he laughed. After a deep breath, he added, "But if she really did strip in front of me, Joshua will kill me for sure. Tsk tsk."
He stepped on the way to the bedroom but halted when he saw a mysterious man who went inside the room. The man is holding a knife while roaming around.
"Sh*t," Jeonghan mumbled as he went back on the way to the bathroom. When he went inside, his eyes widened when he saw Celine's naked body.
"Oh my g-" she's about to shout.
But Jeonghan dashed forward and covered her mouth. "Shsssh. Someone is here. Don't make any sounds." His eyes became fierce like wolves as he pulled out his knife and looked at the door.
~tuk tuk tuk, the sounds of steps are getting nearer. Closer and closer.
Her heart pounded so hard before... THE DOOR OPENED!
"This, this, this and this."He threw a bunch of branded clothes onto her palms that she can barely hold them all. "W-Why are you giving me these expensive clothes?" Celine asked, quite confused while gawking at the clothes worth more than hundred dollar bills."Because you are my girlfriend," Jeonghan, the 2nd heir of HongYoonChoi, answered. "I will never allow you to wear something that will ruin my reputation. Don't worry, babe~ Spending money for my girlfriends is just a piece of cake. So can spend a lot, a lot, and a loooooot." After bragging his money, he winked seductively at her.'I became his girlfriend? Since when?!' Celine wonder for a while, until she remembered what happened a moment ago inside the bathroom:"Shsssh," Jeonghan hushed as soon as he entered the bathroom where she was taking a bath.Shocked and embarrassed at her current state, Celine soaked her naked body onto the bathtub's water. The gate of her
A man wearing blue suit laid a red carpet on the Gishi traditional restaurant's hallway. The one wearing a red suit prepared flower confetti while the other man with yellow suit shouted : "Master Junhui, it is all ready!"The sky became brighter as soon as a handsome man, named Wen Junhui, walked in. He has charismatic eyes as sharp as eagle's, pointed nose, heart -shape lips and sexy skinny well built."Congratulations! Yippie!" The red suit guy, who has small eyes, pale skin and cute face, rejoiced while throwing the confetti up air. His name is Hoshi.Those three guys: red, blue and yellow, who look like a new modern version of teletubbies clapped their hands happily. On the other hand, the main lead of this wedding-like entrance wasn't pleased at all. Junhui's brows met in the middle as he took a deep breath."I believe, I didn't ask the three of you to give me this embarrassing introduction," he complained, gritting his teeth.
Joshua entered the office without making any sounds, as if his feet were made with feathers. He watched the owner of Gishi traditional restaurant, Wonwoo, silently. Wonwoo is in front of his desktop, watching something with bluetooth ear-piece on his ear. When the corners of his eyes have finally noticed Joshua's silhouette, he jumped from his seat."Oh my g...! Hey!" he shouted in surprise. "Why did you barge in without knocking the door?! What if I was watching something unfit for an innocent guy like you?!""Then we should watch it together," Joshua smiled then crossed his slim legs. It was weird that even he's wearing an angelic smile, he looks like a devil sitting on the magenta couch.First, Wonwoo scratched his forehead with a sigh. Afterwards, he filled the empty couch
Celine crouched in the shadow inside a different room as eerie as the first room she woke up after being kidnapped. Every sound was analyzed repeatedly until something else demanded her attention. The evening was cool, but her blood was icy and her muscles tensed that she had lost any sense of how long she'd been there in the corner. Her legs began to cramp from crouching too long but she dared not move even to ease the pain. Now, her heart hammered and her brain was short-circuiting with anxious thoughts.'The day is not yet over', she said inwardly.She looked at the her guard who doesn't show any signs of inattentiveness as he stared at her with his pretty rounded dark eyes. He is the third heir, Seungcheol. A serious type of a guy who no one have seen laugh hysterically, except if he's watching Mr. Bean."Why?" he asked when he caught her keen observation.Avoiding his eyes in difficulty, Celine breathed, "N-Nothing."After a
Everything Mingyu sees around him worth a thousand dollar bills: sofa set, wide TV screen, billiards, pool and chandelier."Here is the tea. I bought it from Rome. It has a nice flower aroma scent. Hope you enjoy it." Joshua poured tea on Mingyu's tea cup.The two heirs of HongYoonChoi are sitting in front of Detective Kim, both wearing smile as they enjoyed thei tea. The main purpose of this meeting is to find Mingyu's bestfriend inside this pent house. But no matter how he roamed his eyes around, Celine has nowhere to be found."Where is Celine? I thought she is here," Mingyu suspiciously asked."My girlfriend?" Jeonghan answered, putting his cup above the table as he crossed his legs. "She is sleeping upstair. Having a boyfriend like me is probably tiring because I am a little possessive i
"I am very thankful that you accepted this interview even though you are busy, Governor.""I gladly appreciate this, reporter Woozi."Pen and notebook; two things he was holding while sitting in front of the governor. He has those white pale skin, rounded small eyes, pinkish lips and small body figure- a snowhite's male version? He is Woozi, a famous reporter of MCB network.Woozi wrapped up the interview. "Then, have a nice day governor." He put his pen and notebook inside his black Lacose bag and about to leave when suddenly, the governor held his wrist. "What is it? Governor?""Ahmmm, about what I've said a moment ago, I m-mean when I said I am going to run as president for the next election, I hope you w
How many days have passed since I opened my eyes at another place?[Eat your breakfast ^_^] A note was placed on the table, along with a plate of pancakes, sausage and glass of milk.[Take a bath and wear the clothes I prepared ^_^] Another note I saw above a pair of black formal woman's suits.[Go to Hong-ji Hotel. There is a car waiting for you outside the penthouse. Don't ever try to run away. Or else, I'll kill you ^_^]'How dare he put smiling emoticon after saying he'll kill me?!'Anyway, I've done everything he requested. Because they told Mingyu that I am working as Joshua's secretary, I have to work for him as of today. I can't believe I got a work after months of being jobless. Though I'm not grateful for this opportuni
Today, the clouds are white marble on blue satin, dove grey underneath and brilliant white where they are thin enough to let the light through. The three heirs of HongYoonChoi are looking up to the sky from the hotel's highest floor. They enjoyed the view as they wait for Dr.Vincent.Soon enough, they heard the door opened and shut; the creaking noise woke up the wolves."Y-Young Masters?" Someone called them. When they turned back in unison, Dr.Vincent is already standing near the entrance.It was a very windy day, their hairs shook gently to the East."You came!" Joshua exclaimed with a smile. "I'm so happy to see you here, Dr. Vincent."Whether his smiles or his words were sincere, Dr.Vincent knew it wasn't a good sign. "Just like what you have asked, I brought the list of people

But as soon as he got there, the three men asked him questions about the maid named Lucy. She is the exclusive maid of his mother, Celine. “How’s Lucy? Did she receive the flower that I sent to her?” Seungkwan asked. “Does she has plan this weekend?” Hoshi inquired. “Did you tell her that uncle Dokyeom misses her so much?” Dokyeom interrogated. The young boy crossed his arms while looking at the three grown up who are acting like kids. Not long after, there’s a sneer in his red lips. “Uncles,” Jeshuel said. “Yes?!” the three said in unison, excited to hear his answer. “Do you know that the world right now is experiencing Economic hardship?” “...” “...” “...” Jeshuel took a deep breath and continued, “Economic hardship refers to psychological dis-tress that results from a perception of relatively low economic resources.

Inside the small, windowless room with a brick-walled, the old woman, Kelly, is sitting on the ground with handcuffs around her wrinkled wrist. Her apathetic eyes went to the steel door in front which is equip with locks and bolts. The place is cold. Each breath slipped from her dried lips feels like there’s a frosting of white that blankets her; air thicken with the stench of her own breath. Cold and clammy, her hands and feet numb with the damp, like she’s been wrapped went sheets for long days. Her lifeless eyes roamed around the jail cell where soon could be her grave. Kelly already accepted it. She accepted dying in the hands of the organization she tried to eradicate along with Ben. She is a talented pharmacologist who makes different drugs, thinking that it will help the world be a better place. But now that Ben died, she has no wills to continue living.

She was mad to hear him saying thank you as if she was only forced to be by his side. “I’ll wait for the day when you can finally let me enter your heart,” he continued, grabbing both sides of her face with his hands and continued moving his hips. Celine’s hand on his shoulder clenched. “But now, I am contended with this. I am happy already,” he breathed fiercely, his deep eyes gazing at her. Celine is moaning, feeling his hardness rubbed on her and she still had to bite her lower lip with all her might to keep from telling him that he does not need to thank her. Seeing how she couldn’t respond, Jeonghan smiled bitterly at her silence. Her heart ached as she saw his eyes darken. She wanted to console him somehow. And so, she kissed him again while wrapping he
Warning: Scenes are not suitable for young readers. Please read at your own risk---- ----- ------- ------- ------ ----Third Person’s POV Celine understood the implication of Jeonghan’s words a bit too late.She stared at the massive manh**d ebfore her.His tip was wet,and shiny with liquid gushing out from the small hole in the center. It look somehow… fierce. Although she had felt that rubbed between her thighs before, it had never occurred to her that she will put that inside her mouth.‘Will it fit?’ Her eyes widened.She realized that she did not think if it is okay to suck it but she’s more worried if that will fit in her mouth! Celine was so shocked to herself.Jeonghan let out a mischievous smile as he watched Celine, who was faltering while laying down on the bed.“Can you do it? My innocent wife?” he asked.Celine drew a deep breath. Her pupils shook.Jeonghan told her before that they don’t need to do real sex to make him feel good but…‘Isn’t this the same as having s
