All Chapters of In the Embrace of Terror: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

“What took you so long?” Mama asked strictly when I came back to my seat.Papa is busy talking with Mr. Marzon. They seems to not notice my presence yet.I bit my lips and felt a little bit shy especially when I saw Vren's eyes is on me. Again, it made me uncomfortable. He's like a predator watching his prey. Wait.. What?I cleared my throat. “The restroom was full, Mama. I had to wait for minutes because of that,” I answered.Mama raise her eyebrow but did not replied. Papa got her attention again and they laughed together with Mr. Marzon. Meanwhile, Vren is still staring at me intently. My brows furrowed.Why do he keep on staring at me? Do I have some dirt in my face?Because of that, I unconsciously duck my head to look at the screen of my phone. It is clean. Still beautiful. No dirt. What's wrong with him? I rolled my eyes as I inserted back my phone inside my sling bag. Is thi

“Just take me to the nearest mall. My friends and I are going to meet there. After that you can go to wherever you are going,” I said while fixing my hair and checking my make up.I saw him glanced at me while driving the car. My brows shot up and turned my head to look at him. He throwed me consecutive glances that made me thought he wouldn’t answer.“No. Your father said I will accompany you—”I did not let him finish his sentence for I had not stopped myself and let out a soft chuckle. His brows furrowed and glanced at me again but it was kquick.“What are you? A bodyguard?” I chuckled again because him being a bodyguard would also pass for me. He really doesn’t look like a business man!His perfect jaw clenched but he did not talk. I shook my head still laughing to make him more annoyed.“You don’t want me mad.” His voice was so deep and rough enough to make me stop and almost h

I was grounded. Papa did not allow me to go out again, for two weeks now. I beg that time without even caring if Vren was still watching and listening to us. Papa’s voice was very serious when he said that but I still hoped he would not take it seriously. I still hoped that he still have mercy on me. However, it really did happened. I stayed in our house and the guards that my father hired were so tight that I never got a step outside the door.It was so painful for me. All I could do was to cry silently in my room. My wrath for the person who did this was beyond the top. Especially when Papa even confiscated all of my gadgets. Reason why I couldn’t contact my boyfriend and friends. Alec must have been worried now that I wasn’t texting nor replying to him. Luckily, he would not dare to come here because I strictly told him when we were still new not to come without my permission. Because if he will, I knew everything will turn into a mess.

Have ever had the feeling that you wanted to kill someone? Like you were at the very edge of doing it but you still know it’s wrong that’s why you had to stop that kind of thoughts. I am feeling it right now. Standing infront of Vren who is sitting comfortably on the sofa, I was catching my breath as I stared at him sharply. He isn’t looking at me and even acting so cool like he did nothing wrong. His arms were stretched while resting on the backrest and his legs were crossed that made me more furious.After he told Alec that he was my fiancé, he dragged me out of the car forcefully before Alec and I could react. Everything was so fast and all I feel that time was to do everything just so Vren could stop sticking his nose into my business. He brought me here in a condominium unit that I assumed his.I have never been so mad in my entire life and this is the very

“50 million?!” Eliana exclaimed. I sighed heavily and covered my whole face by my two hands. My eyes are shut firmly, thinking of ways while my friends are talking on the line. I am here on my room, having a video call again with my friends. The moon and stars were already seen on the sky through the window. I have thought just now that I have been video calling my friends frequently. We are not really doing this stuff. But now that I have a problem, I am lucky that they are lending me some time to listen. “If you are not going to marry Vren, where the hell are you going to find that large amount of money, Chantylle? And you have no work!” I heard Eliana said. I remove my hands and looked at them. Eliana was sipping a juice meanwhile Vivien was crossing her arms and shaking her head. I bit my lips, feeling so problematic. “And even if you have a work
