I HATE (Love) U
Azrie?

"Not yet to reach where Elijah was, we had already been arrested. At that time we tried to fight desperately, but we all knew it was in vain. In the end, we failed to escape again."

Itta listened to every strand of the word Riana told. He lifted the drink glass and then took it a little.

"Then?"

"At that time, we thought that we had no hope of ever leaving that place again. We're all desperate. We were locked up next to the room where Elijah was locked up. It was only limited by a large wall. We could not see Elijah, but every day we always heard the screams of his pain."

Riana lowered her head, probably from being carried back to that time.

"The scream is so loud. Sad and heartbreaking. Meanwhile, Oldia was constantly being summoned outside the room. Every time he was called, then he would go home without the slightest expression. It was as if she had lost her soul. Every time she was asked, Oldia never answered. Then, the longer we knew what Oldia was going through when outdoors."

"What indeed?"

"The woman was being spun constantly by the bejatt men. It all happened on Eric's orders."

Itta's face hardened. "Then, what about Elijah? When did he kill himself?"

"The day before you came into our room."

"really?"

Riana nodded. "Yes." Yeah."

"Where did you know that?"

"Someone who once gave you the keys to a room."

In just a short period of time Itta instantly knew the person Riana meant. "Is that Azri?"

"I don't know his name."

Itta thought for a moment. There are a lot of questions in mind, but there is only one important question.

Taking a breath, Itta asked, "was that person also the one who informed me of my contract and Young Master Abercio?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Exactly as expected.

One thing that Itta did not understand, Adyan had learned that Azri's identity was fake, so why did the man still let Azri work in his place?

It is dangerous to let people with false identities, but Adyan does nothing.

Surprisingly again, the man remained calm despite knowing Azri could have been a threat to him.

Really, Itta couldn't understand Adyan's brain.

Until dusk greeted him, Itta could not find a reasonable answer.

Itta's eyes stared out the window displaying a view of the city with skyscrapers.

Something was coiling up in his stomach. Without turning his head, Itta knew whose hand belonged to the one whose eel had easily hugged his body.

Itta held back her disgust.

"Thinking about what? You look so serious." That person stuck his chin on Itta's shoulder.

"It's none of your business."

"You forgot again."

Itta rolled her eyeballs silently. It felt like punching the man who was now embracing her, but that unlucky contract*n always reminded her of reality.

"I was just wondering about something," retorted Itta lazily.

"What's that?"

"Ask you for free too. You won't answer that."

"Oh, huh? That's not necessarily."

"Are you going to answer?"

"Maybe."

The answer is unsatisfactory. However, there is at least a chance Adyan will answer.

Itta opened her mouth, asking, "Why did you let Azri keep working at your place? You know his identity is fake."

Adyan did not answer.

The man took off his arms, causing Itta to turn around. Itta's eyes looked at Adyan who was sitting on the bed with one leg raised while grinning.

"Why do you think?" Adyan asked back.

What the fuck?

If Itta finds out, Itta won't ask him. Itta wanted to abuse her blatantly.

"It's up to you" replied Itta lazily.

"You'll know the answer soon."

"I don't care anymore."

"really?" One of Adyan's eyebrows was raised. "Well, it's my turn to ask now."

"What mean?"

Adyan changed her sitting style to be more comfortable than before.

"What's your purpose in getting them in my Mansion, Miss Grizelle?" ask the man.

"They? Who do you mean?"

"Who else would it be if it wasn't your three roommates?"

Itta was silent for a while. His forehead was confused.

"You know the answer yourself. I want to free them from that place. Although not all are free, at least those who are not free, can get out of that disgusting place."

"Then why those three guys?"

"What do you mean?"

"Riana, Oldia and Isni. You mentioned their names when you made that wish. As if you don't want them to be free of that place, instead you want them by your side."

Itta shook her head hard. "That's not true."

"There are a lot of names in the room. But all you call are those three people. You have a plan, right?"

"You're wrong. I didn't mean anything, I just mentioned the origin."

"I'm not a fool, Miss Grizelle."

Itta bit her lip.

Adyan's entire speech was true.

Itta mentioned their names not without reason, but rather because they were useful for their real purpose.

Isni, a brave man even though he was 17 years old. It will be useful when seeking revenge.

Oldia has hacker abilities. Thus, he is useful in finding information on the perpetrator of the serial murder of his family.

While Riana. She had no skills or courage, but Riana was trustworthy.

Itta did not expect, Adyan realized it this quickly. This man's ability is extraordinary. Itta must always be careful.

"You just calm down. My plan has nothing to do with you. It's about my family."

"What happened to your family?"

"Vengeance. I want revenge on the man who killed my family."

"Want me help?"

Adyan took out his smirk.

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

In this vast world, no one could be trusted. Therefore, Itta rejected Adyan's offer.

It's just that as the night went on, Itta became a little regretful.

He had no regrets for rejecting Adyan's offer, he only regretted for expressing his intentions.

When Itta turned down his offer this afternoon, Adyan did not allow him to take revenge.

The man said, "if you want revenge, let me help you. But, if you want revenge without accepting my help, don't expect you to be able to."

Itta took a deep breath, then exhaled.

"I'll take revenge. I don't need your permission to avenge my family." Itta said sure.

He looked at the night sky.

Maybe tonight he won't sleep. Sleep will only bring him nightmares. Itta hates nightmares that remind her of the tragic death of her family.

But all of that was destroyed with the arrival of Adyan.

The sound of loud footsteps rang out in Itta's ears. The woman knew the owner of this footstep.

Immediately he laid his body on the bed, pretending to sleep.

I hope Adyan sees him sleeping, then goes straight away.

Too bad, Itta's wish was not fulfilled. Instead of leaving, the man slept beside him. Just as usual, the man slept while hugging Itta.
