Forced Marriage: Thirteenth Wife
7. I'm Pissed

No. gabe. Where possible. Their distance is very far. Roxanne could hear their conversation because this vast room reflected the sound, let alone the surroundings so silent.

So it's definitely not—

"I'm upset right now and then a rat appears in front of me." Almost at the same time, the thick book just near Roxanne's arm fell off.

On the side of the book, a sharp dagger was stuck which was the reason the book fell off its shelf.

Roxanne closed her mouth trembling. He tried hard not to breathe and pretended not to exist even though it might be useless.

Why exactly? Why would that man have so many wives if he hated them, willing to kill them just out of sight?

"What are you doing there?" elios asked as if he had not done the threat. "You think I'm an idiot, unaware of the disgusting smell of your crying?"

Sure oes. Of course this is what is called the price of gold and diamonds without doing the work.

Roxanne wanted to cry loudly by the fear in her chest. He can't breathe. The oxygen in his body was blocked.

But if Roxanne moves just a little, she feels like the next second this world will turn into hell.

"Young Master, it's my fault." Suddenly, the First Madam chimed in.

"Either your wife did this stupid thing, but I didn't tell them not to go out today. I brought you here anyway, so how about we go now?"

"No." Elios' voice came closer with his footsteps. "I told you I was upset."

Roxanne couldn't hold her breath. But still his hand covered his mouth and nose to stop breathing, hoping Elios didn't know.

Unfortunately the sound was getting closer and closer. His footsteps must have been. It was as if he was sure of Roxanne's exact location.

When Roxanne smelled the man's fragrant scent, the omen she was really close, somehow the courage from which Roxanne ran.

He ran even though his legs were limp. Trying not to turn around to see if Elios was chasing or not.

While at Elios' side, the man only saw a shadow of a long-haired girl go away from his reach.

The scent of the trace of the girl was there, so it was as expected, she had just been there.

Elios picked up the book that was stuck in his dagger, pulled out the dagger to bag it back.

"Who is he?" ask Elios.

"Looks like your new wife, Roxanne. I just got a glimpse of it from here."

"He's gone?"

"Yes, just now."

Elios put the book back into an empty crack on the shelf. "What do you think of him, Grae?"

"Simple enough." First Madam looked at the spot where Roxanne was standing. "She's a girl who will do anything to get the comfort of her life. That's why he's sold and willing to buy."

"I don't like the way the boy looks at me."

"How to look at you?" Graean tilted his face, looking at the handsome face of Elios. "What does it mean to admire your face as an honorable descendant of Narendra? Of course he's fascinated. You're among the most handsome men in the world right now."

"Stop talking nonsense." Elios snorts. Get out of there. "I don't like how he sees me like I'm supposed to be mastered."

"That's a disrespectful look."

"The stupid desire in his eyes is disturbing. Make sure to teach him how to behave. Next, I won't hold back."

"Sure, Young Master."

"I really mean it." Elios suddenly stopped, extending a hand to the Graean neck.

That's not a giggle. Just a casual touch but enough for a threat.

"If you interfere, you will also suffer the same fate. Don't think you're special."

Graean smiled holding Elios' hand. "Don't you know yourself that I know best?"

Who is most special to Elios, only Graean knows exactly who that person is and where he is now.
