I don't know how many hours have passed but when I opened my eyes, the plane I was riding finally stopped. This is the first time I feel glad being in land.
I stretched my hands forward then sideward. Groaning as if I'm enduring the pain from brutal punishments, I tilted my head on the side.
'Joshua is sleeping.'
His features are much softer in sleep. He looks very peaceful. Watching the slight rising and falling of his chest made me wonder if he is really that guy who taught me the thrill of killing someone who deserves it.
(Joshua's POV )When lion entered another lion's territory, he already accepted the fact about the danger he'll face soon. That's the only reason why Celine and I have to share in one room. We need to be together 24 hour. After taking a bath, I exited the bathroom and saw Celine on the sofa. She is patting a pillow which she probably got from the king-sized bed. I brushed my wet hair using a black towel. Walking closer with only a black bathrobe on, I asked her, "What are you doing?" She stopped for a moment. The next thing I received are her expressions of disappointments. However, because I was only wearing a thin fabric to cover my naked my body, she avoided my direction with face that is as red as the led light upon the ceiling.
(Woozi's POV/Reporter)"My son's insurance went to his wife.""I see. May I ask where's his wife residing at now?""She went somewhere far from here.""Where?""Brazil."My fingers rest above the keyboards; middle finger on letter B, index finger on letter R and pinky finger on letter A. Today, I interviewed the family of the fifth victim of suicidal case under drugs usage. And for the fifth time, I heard that word again – Brazil.I'm sure the police also investigated about this. But they won't get further clues, unless they found out more information about Kentoki flower. Sadly, because it is an info the higher ups are protecting so bad, investigation will probably end as 'Unsolved case.
Celine woke up with the same thought she had before she fell asleep last night.'I'm from the original Yoon clan,' she said to herself inwardly.Blinking gradually, Celine adjusted her lying position. She lay down straight, staring at the wood ceiling of the hotel. One thing made her confuse during this moment - "why am I here?"She sat up very quick, catching her breath."Good morning," a sweet voice from the man lying beside her. Celine tilted her head and saw Joshua on the other side of the bed."W-Why am I here? I slept at the couch!" she inquired for explanation."D
Celine came to Brazil to find and rescue her friend, but she realized that coming there wasn't just saving one person. The place they went in is a place where innocent women, victims, are sold for sexually deeds.Naked women were displayed one after another and were bought in an auction. 'Human isn't a thing!' Celine gasped inside her head while watching this horrible scene right in her eyes. She thought of place like this only in a manipulated setting in movies – a picture of over exaggerated plot. However, Joshua brought her to show that reality could be meaner than the idea she had in world.Rage boiled deep in her system. Fires of fury and hatred smoldered in her eyes squinting meanly as her fists clenched over the sight. When her tears fell down was the breaking point of her patience.'I wanted to save them
Joshua opened the door very quiet. The man guarding outside is standing still, not aware of the danger behind."Sayonara," Joshua whispered before he wrapped his arm around the man's neck and pulled him inside the room. He locked it around until all of the oxygen was cut off from his brain. With a loud thud, the guy fell onto the floor and became unconscious. Joshua looked at Celine and Kyla who are at the entrance. "It's time. Go."With a nod, Celine walked steadily with Kyla on her side. They are wearing disguise so hopefully, they can escape in ease.Joshua was still in the process of exchanging his clothes with the guy he just knocked out. On the other side, Celine is taking Kyla along the eerie hallway. She was holding her breath, afraid to expel any sounds of nervousness, especially when she saw another b
"Will you stay or will you keep your goods away?" Joshua asked while pointing his gun to his enemy.Soon, the police will come at this place. If all of them will get captured, it's lose-lose situation. Joshua, Jeonghan and Seungcheol might put behind bars for murder, while the owner of this place will accept tons of criminal records; he'll lose his fortune, those women he chained, EVERYTHING. So in order to avoid these, they need to escape. If Mr. Joao will put his gun down then run, it will shorten the time of escape. But one thing gave him a hard time in making decision. It was the woman sitting in front of Celine.'I need to kill that woman first,' Joao said inside his mind. And so he pointed his pistol towards her. But before he could pull the trigger, Joshua shot his hand. Joao missed his target and the bullet went to Joshua's shoulder with a loud "BANG!"
(Mingyu's POV/ detective/ Celine's best friend)During my day off, I visited my subordinate's house - A.K.A the governor's place."My father isn't here," Dino said after accompanying me to their living room. I've always knew that this kid belongs to the high profile society but because of our ranking in work, I casually talk to him like my little brother. This could be the reason why it feels very odd to stand inside this huge mansion where expensive stuffs are everywhere and maids are sp humbly politre in front of Dino.'So the kid that I always nag at, complain at and hit at is someone who lives with these luxuries?' I said to my mind while staring at him... with a little envious."Your father is our governor so of course he's busy." I sat on the couch. Looking around, I saw the pathway that could lead

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
