Chapter 29 The atmosphere in the basement had changed. It had always been quiet, but now it felt, how should I put it, desolate and chilly. Like a dry winter field, with an eerie stillness lingering and only the sound of eyeballs rolling. I felt the same way. Theo’s calm words, requesting their wrists, were so shocking that I alternated between looking at the phone and the room, trying to gauge the situation. “Excuse me? Wrist? What do you mean by that...?” - “You got it right, didn’t…-

Chapter 28 Of course I don’t want to see him. I knew it wasn't something worth saying, so I focused on sad thoughts, imagining a hostage-like expression. It was hard to concentrate, perhaps because there was nothing sadder than my current situation. So, I thought of my mom. Mom, I've been kidnapped after entering a virtual world that doesn’t even exist on Earth. I must have been punished for trying to enjoy wealth and fame alone, leaving behind the ties of family. As my mom's face came to…

Chapter 27 "You're funny, miss. So this is why the crazy dog became a golden retriever, huh?" "That's an insult to a golden retriever." "But you've been throwing shade since earlier, haven’t you?" "I’m older than you. Sisters are always a bit rude." "It’s fine. I hear that kind of thing sometimes too." "Yeah, I can tell. So, you’re gonna tie me up?" I extended both of my wrists to the red-haired man. He widened her eyes in exaggerated surprise and chuckled. He then took a cable…

Chapter 10. Den continued talking without caring about my dumbfounded expression. “I’m fully supporting the government’s ‘Villain Rehabilitation Project,’ by the way.” At that moment, the congressman’s face lit up. He turned to me with a gleam in his eyes, smiling broadly. “Chi-chi Clenner! Wait, you’re Chi-chi Clenner?” He shouted my name and slammed his hand on the table, as if he'd hit the jackpot in a casino. “That’s the company uniform, isn’t it? You’ve…-

Chapter 9. It's been a while since I've seen Den embarrassed. Den had fair skin, so even the slightest flush on his face stood out. The rims of his ears turned cherry red, and both cheeks looked as if someone had applied an awkward blush. Like a Russian child in winter. That look didn’t suit him at all, which made me burst into laughter every time. Though, I secretly thought it was kind of cute. “…It was a compliment. I said it looked good on you.” I quickly changed the subject,…

Chapter 7. Improper attire? What do you mean, improper? There was nothing in the contract about dress codes! Stunned, I fumbled through my things and pulled out the contract. If he’s trying to threaten me with something not in writing, I swear I’ll call a lawyer. I scanned through it again, and then my eyes flew open in disbelief. “You scammer! There’s nothing like that here!” “Right here.” “Where?” I looked again at where Den’s finger was pointing. “Improper…

Chapter 6. At his question, I stared at the contract for a long time, turning it around and reading it aloud. The saying that "contracts should be written carefully" came to mind. It was advice given to me by the owner of the café I visited every morning. Someone once lost their house because they messed up writing a contract, right? So I had to be thorough and not let Den Frow deceive me! But... “I’m not sure... maybe it’s fine, maybe it’s not.” After much hesitation, I tilted…

Chapter 5. The wise always warned that there are no shortcuts in life, and that chasing luck only leads to a painful backstab. But humans are foolish. We pretend to be rational, but in truth, we are the most irrational beings of all. Even when alarms flash, warning us of traps ahead, we still step forward, unable to resist the temptation dangling before our eyes. That is the weakness of the human psyche. And I was no different. I knew Den Frow wouldn’t make such an offer without ulterior…

Chapter 3. “What did you just say? Den Frow is what now?” Den’s going to supervise me? No way. No damn way. Our bad blood is on a level one can’t even imagine. Trying to explain our relationship would take an entire night and I’d still run out of time. Especially the three years I spent being hunted by him. The absolute worst years of my life. All because I clocked him in the back of the head and ran. Just hearing Den Frow’s name sends shivers down my spine and now he’s going to…
