“How are you feeling?” Feng Long asked while taking small steps towards her. 1

“How do you think I’m feeling?!” Seeing he didn’t look like he would be pouncing on her anytime soon, Piper tried as much as possible to sound coherent and fearless, yet, her voice didn’t give the best effect. She was scared.

“Don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt you.”

“Then let me go,” she immediately said after his words fell.

Feng Long stared at her speechlessly for a while, then shook his head. “I’m sorry, I can’t.”

“Th- then what do you intend to do to me?” She panicked and fear shot to her stomach.

“I don’t intend to do anything to you but the same cannot be said for others.” He walked to a

a couch and sat on it.

“What do you mean? What others?” Piper looked around the room, however none but the two of them were there. Does that mean other people are in the house too?

“Where is this place?” She has no idea where she is. On her way, she fell asleep as her eyes felt heavy but thinking of it… “Where is my chauffeur?”

To the many questions that she asked, Feng Long only deemed the last one fit for an answer.

“He brought you here and left but I’m guessing he’s dead by now.”

“Wh- why? Feng Long, what is all this about?! Why are you doing this to me?!”

Feng Long didn’t speak for a long time. When he finally opened his mouth, Piper thought she would be getting an answer to her many questions but instead, he asked:

“Why is it so hard for you to love me?” His face slowly changed.

Piper’s heart trembled at that sight. She immediately opened her mouth, subconsciously saying;

“A- are you aware I’m Alpha Chaos and Rex’s sister?” Sorrow flashed through her orbs but only for a blink of an eye.

That was how badly she wanted her brothers.

“If they had cared a little about you, I’m sure you wouldn’t be here right now. He sighed. “Piper, why are you doing this to us?” He got up and walked to the bed, then sat close to her and forced her face into his hands.

“I love you so much, can’t you see that? Why do you hate me so much? Why can’t I take Brian’s place in your heart? Is it because of my family?… We can run away and I’ll be able to protect you if you choose me, please Piper.”

Piper slapped his hands away and raised her hand to slap him but he grabbed it in mid–air. “Don’t do that,” he shook his head.

His brothers wouldn’t find it funny if they saw a palm print on his face.

She forcefully pulled her hand back and tried to leave the bed but he dragged her back with a small frown on his brows. “Don’t be stubborn, Piper. I don’t want to hurt you.”

“You don’t want to hurt me? Aren’t you already doing it? Feng Long, you started hurting me from the moment you started taking my Mom’s side and helped ruin my life! And now by kidnapping me, you think you aren’t hurting me?!” She took a deep breath to calm her racing heart, fueled with fear and

anger.

“Let me leave and I’ll pretend this never happened.” She added.

He had been living with guilt all these years for helping her mom, but he couldn’t help it. His love for her drove him to do so many things that finally tore their friendship apart. Though he doesn’t regret

1. it.

Feng Long turned his face down before saying, “Your mother sent you here with an instruction. Also, my family hasn’t given me permission to let you go, so I can’t.”

Piper’s eyes widened. She was shocked and not shocked at the same time that her own mother was involved in her kidnapping.

What scares her most is the fact that Feng Long’s family is involved. Piper suddenly had a premonition that something bad was about to happen to her.

She immediately grabbed his hands and started to beg fervently. “Long, please let me out! Please, don’t allow your family to hurt me, I beg you, please let me out!!”

Feng Long looked helplessly at her. He can’t hurt her, never! But his family is a different case. Had she agreed to be his woman, his brothers would have believed that she was one of them but now that she isn’t, she’s an enemy, just like her mother.

What got Feng Long feeling like a complete waste was her hatred for his guts.

He held her by the shoulders. “Even though you are begging me, you still refuse to promise to be my woman. Piper, how much do you detest me?”

Piper froze. That was right, what emotional people like Feng Long want to hear the most is being loved. Why did she forget that?

He peeled her hands away from his and turned to leave. Now, even though she suddenly agrees to be his woman, it’s already too late because his brothers have been eavesdropping on them through the bug that was forced on him.

They had wanted to kill her for the longest time but he had been her invisible shield until her mother

sent her into their arms.

Standing by the stairs that lead one out of the sub–basement, he said: “Your mother has bad intentions towards my family and my family found out, so my brothers are angry. When your mother called, they were here with me and forced me to bring you…” He left after dropping the incomplete

message.

Piper felt her spirit leave her and she fell limply on the bed. Her mother has finally ruined her life completely. Not only did she use her as a toy for years, but she also pushed her into the enemies‘ den.
