I HATE (Love) U
Dinner

The shining candles emitted a not so bright light. The window opens, displaying the beautiful stars and the moon.

Musical sounds filled the room of this place.

At the end of the table, sat a handsome man.

He stared intensely at the woman in front of him. The man's hand held a glass of wine. Sometimes he sipped it.

"Eat and drink. Take it easy I don't put poison in there" Adyan said, breaking the silence between the two.

"I know."

"Oh, you know what?"

"Yes. What did you put poison for? If you want to kill me, you don't have to bother doing drama."

"You're a smart woman."

"Not to talk nonsense. What do you want from me?" Itta asked directly.

Treating her, giving her a pretty dress and taking her to dinner, Itta was sure there was a price to pay for getting it.

"Aren't you starting this heavy conversation too soon, miss?"

"I don't like to make small talk."

"Well, if that's your wish, I'll grant you." Adyan stopped his words. His expression instantly changed in an instant. The man's gaze sharpened. "Tell me the man who helped you and your roommate to escape this place."

"What?"

"You think I didn't know anyone was helping you? I'm not stupid, Miss."

Itta shook her head.

"No. That's not what you're really trying to say." Itta's words made one of Adyan's eyebrows lift up.

"What do you mean?"

"You ... are interested in me, right?"

Laughter loud booming.

Itta still silently looked at Adyan who was unceasingly turned away at the speech he was making.

"interestedly? Why can you say that so confidently?" adyan said with a low look.

"Shooting only uses sleeping bullets when it can instantly kill at that very moment, putting in a decent room even though I have rebelled, treating my injuries and taking me to dinner together. Isn't that because you're interested in me?"

Before they had dinner, Itta remembered the man who shot him.

The woman had seen even for a second before Itta's consciousness was snatched away.

One corner of Itta's lips was slightly interested.

"Oh! One over. Your words that say my friends are dead, that's a lie, right? The truth is you haven't touched them yet."

Adyan could not help his smile anymore.

In his eyes at the moment, Itta looked extremely attractive.

The woman was able to analyze quickly. In his eyes there was no fear despite facing Abercio's only son.

"You are great. I admit, I'm interested in you. I intend to make you the woman standing by my side, do you agree?"

"I refuse."

"Don't refuse too quickly. You have to remember, your roommate's life is in my hands."

"I will continue to refuse."

"Think about it first. If you keep resisting, then one of your friends will die. Every time you refuse, one person will die in front of you."

Adyan's not kidding. Itta was able to figure it out while staring into the beautiful eyes of the night, but it was also as sharp as a sword.

Adyan's hands clapped once, making one of his subordinates come.

"Take him away and lock the door to his room. No one can enter unless they have my permission!" adyan continued to rule.

His subordinate nodded obediently.

...----------------...

Someone came with a tray of food. He placed it on the nightstand, then left after locking the room again.

Itta's eyeball observed the contents of the food provided.

The food looked decent, not the stale food that was commonly accepted.

There were also apples that had been chopped and wine next to the food. Not to forget a glass of green juice nearby.

Itta didn't eat or drink at dinner last night, maybe that's why Adyan sent her some food.

Honestly, he is hungry, but does not have a good appetite at the moment.

The door suddenly opened again, featuring a handsome man.

"Azri?"

Itta.

The man was almost killed, but Itta was forced to abandon his intentions when he heard Azri's offer.

Azri is the one who secretly helps Itta's plan.

Closing the door slowly, after which Azri walked over.

"How did you get in here? Did the guards at the door allow it?" ask Itta wonder.

The room was heavily guarded. Someone had just come into this room, it felt impossible if the guards allowed others to enter again.

"I have my own way" Azri said, not wanting to give further details. "I'm here because I want to see how you're doing."

"I'm fine."

"Goodoo. But why get caught? I've been trying to divert and ruffle things."

"Of course." Itta shrugged her shoulders. "Not all plans can go smoothly. It would feel weird if the plan went too smoothly."

"I've been predicting a problem, but this shouldn't happen. At least you can get out of this place."

The words feel strange.

Azri's words seemed to prioritize Itta.

This led him to ask something.

"Why do you want to help me?" ask Itta.

"Do I have to answer?"

"certain."

"There's someone asking me to do this."

"Who?"

"You don't need to know."

"You're a cop? Or a spy?"

"Not both."

"Then, who are you?"

"I told you you didn't need to know."

"I want to know!"

Azri let out a rough breath. "I don't have much time. I'll go right now."

"Wait!" Jemari lentik Itta grabbed Azri's big hand. To stop him from leaving. "Tell me your identity."

"I will definitely save you, but I have no obligation to tell you my identity."

After saying so, Azri stepped away leaving Itta in this room with a wondering mind.

...----------------...

The large screen featuring the interaction of two people of different sexes continues to be the focus of Adyan.

Not many people know that CCTV is hidden in this place.

Even Eric doesn't know.

Only Adyan and a few trusted people know about it. That was why he easily found Itta.

Although he had only come to this place twice, Adyan knew many secrets here.

Adyan's hands clenched involuntarily, until they turned white. His eyes were sharp as if holding something that was about to explode.

"That man .. I wanted to kill him."

That's what Adyan said when he saw Itta and Azri chatting on the CCTV screen.

Despite not knowing their conversation, Adyan still feels disliked.

However, she knew for sure the fact that it was the man who had helped Itta make an escape plan.

Their plans are quite mature, but still have gaps.

"Take the man into the red room immediately. I'll meet him in a moment" Adyan ordered one of his subordinates.

"Good, Sir." His subordinate nodded for a moment, then left.

"Laquitta Grizelle's. I'll make sure you're just mine" Adyan murmured as he stared at the woman from the screen.
