Chapter 1: Excerpt
"My sweet little Samantha, since you still grieve your Father’s death, I shall grant you only one request. Remember to choose wisely, as you might not get a second chance like this in the future." A cruel smile played on his sinful lips as he circled the devastated golden-blonde-haired woman, his intimidating shadow entrapping her whole being in its inescapable darkness.
Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap!
Every tapping sound of his shoe made her more aware of the rogue monster that he was.
With her gaze temporarily fixed to the ground, the sight of his foot approaching her was seemingly quiet on the wooden floor, but in her head, she could hear every step he took, every beat it made, every dread it brought, and the trepidation that came with it.
She could barely breathe the same air as him. It felt suffocating to be by his side.
"Well, what will it be?" His deep velvety voice made her breath hitch uncontrollably in her throat. His tone was unusually calm, sounding rather considerate with mixed loathing, but Samantha’s mouth remained unmoving.
One request? Samantha held back a pained laugh like it was a joke.
He offers her one request after taking away her rights to live or die?
What sort of request was he expecting from her? In his eyes, she was nothing more than his personal plaything, his favorite game toy, and this - this was just another level of the game he wanted her to cross, and if she failed terribly, there were lines of punishments that secretly awaited her.
