After Morgan leaves the room, Erina trapped in a dark room with just one guard that has been watching her for hours. Later one, the door wide opens. A bunch of men and one middle-aged woman come inside the room.
They released her hand and the woman give a new set clothes to her.
“Please change your shirt with this new clothes, Miss,” Lana said. She is one of the maids worked for Morgan. He was just been assigned to fulfill all of Erina's needs.
Although both of her hands are free now, Erina didn’t take the clothes immediately. Besides, she looks at the clothes in a dislike way.
“Did Morgan ask me to do this? I wouldn’t do it.” Erina answered.
Since Erina first arrived in this room until now, all Morgan’s do is ask and ask, or occasionally threaten Erina without even trying to hear her opinion.
“You should show your obey to him, or Boss will be furious again.” Lana persuades her in a soft and warm voice. Everyone in this house had heard a gunshot a few minutes ago. She knew exactly what would happen if Erina triggered his anger once again.
“No.” Erina insisted. As a protest for his rude idea, she decided to not following any of Morgan’s rules or demands.
“So, you didn’t want to change your clothes?” His voice suddenly appears and Erina’s heart sinks into her stomach when she find out Morgan has stood up at the door all of sudden.
He is like a ghost. Both Lana and Erina didn’t hear any footsteps coming inside the room. He moves in silence.
Erina’s face looks slightly shocked, before going back and show her hostility.
“I’m not the doll you can ask for everything.” Erina said.
“Okay.” Morgan answered. This is weird. Erina didn’t hear any anger in his voice. Contrast with himself a couple minutes ago.
“Hand me the clothes, Lana. If she doesn't want to change it, then I’ll do it,” He said and began to move forward.
He handed over the clothes and kept approaching towards Erina. His dark glared eyes suddenly makes her heart beats faster.
“Wh–what are you going to do?” She asked in alert. Her eyes kept watching Morgan as he came closer and Erina slowly stood up from the chair. Step back carefully.
But, Morgan keeps making his moves. Without any doubt. “You said you didn’t want to change it,” He said dryly, “Then, let me do it. Though I am really curious about your beautiful body.” He whispered in a low voice.
Morgan walked closer and closer, meanwhile Erina kept moving back in a panic. His leg starts to tremble.
“S–stay away! Don’t you dare to touch me–akh!” She stopped and groaned when accidentally her foot landed on lamp shards that were left to clean. Blood starts to flow from her foot.
Morgan’s face suddenly froze. Reflex, he was about to move to help Erina, but his pride held him back to do such a thing.
Lana, who was still there, rushed to her quickly. “Are you okay?” She asked in a panic voice.
Morgan still stood up there, looked down to Erina with a straight face and put down the clothes on the chair.
“Make sure you change your clothes with this! If you still insisted on wearing that dirty clothes when I’m coming back, I’am really going to take it off!” He announced it firmly, then rushed off outside.
Erina winced in pain and glare at him. “He didn’ care at all even to a woman who gets injury. Thats make sense why he didn’t seem bothered at all to shoot anybody!” Erina declare in a sarcastic voice, then giving her attention to Lana who still sits in front of her. “I’m fine, Lana, this is just a small injury,” She said softly.
“Why didn’t you just follow his rule? Thats much better. Otherwise, he is really scare when he gets angry.” Lana gives an advice softly.
Erina gives a bitter smile as a response. If Morgan promised her to set her free since the beginning, Erina would obey everything he asked. However, the man will be marrying her tomorrow. This is the only way Erina could show to him her protest against his bad decision.
Outside the room, Morgan looks worried. He has been waiting for someone. He repeatedly glanced to his luxurious watch on his wrist. Later on, a well-dressed came approached him. He carries a black bag in his hand.
“You took a long time to came here.” Morgan protested in a hurry voice.
The man in front of him moves up his glasses into the right position on his nose. “You just called me five minutes ago, Morgan.” Daniel answered.
Daniel Dean. He is a good-looking man, graduate of medichal school. He succeded take on neurosurgeon degree in famous university and coming back to …. He had known Morgan for a long time and now become his private dokter.
“It is not usual you called me at this hour. Was there another attack?” Daniel asked.
His brown eyes looked around quickly. Everythings seem fine without any mess. He started to studying Morgan from the top of his head until the bottom of his foot. Daniel raises his eyebrows at him, looks confuse when he found Morgan completely fine and perfect without any strecth.
“You’re not going to treat me.” Morgan explained as if he can read his mind.
Daniel’s face became more strange. “Then, who?”
Instead of answering the question, Morgan started to walk away and led him to one of the rooms in his house. Daniel was slightly shocked when he found a young woman inside the room.
Without saying a word, Daniel give a curious look to Morgan, silently ask him to explained who is the woman between them. However, Morgan ignored both Daniel and the signal.
“Treat her right now and don’t left any mark!” He commanded.
The plan is Morgain stands up inside the room, waiting and keep an eye on Daniel, but suddenly his is phone ringing, and he left for a privacy.
Lana followed him walked away to get some food for Erina. Now there are just Daniel, Erina, and the guard man who never saying a word. Daniel and Erina stared at each other.
This is the first time Morgan kept a woman inside his mansion. Not beautifull enough, but pretty interesting.
Daniel seems awkward before he starts make a step forward, but Erina stepped back immediately.
“Don’t come near me!” She warned in a tremble voice. Erina gets trauma after what Morgan did to her a moments ago. She became more and more cautious to every man in this house.
But, they both looks different. Contrast with Morgan who had strong dark aura in his existence, Daniel turned out snorted and give a light smile to her. “How can I give you a treat if I’m not allowed to touch you, Miss?” He asked patiently.
There are calmness and patience in his smile, automatically make Erina calmed down. However, she ensure there is safety space between them.
“You don’t have to heal me. This is just a small injury. Just let it be, though in the end it would be nother for him,” Erina answered in a sarcastic voice, still irritated with her memories about that rude man.
“Morgan didn’t call me, but to treat you. Do you want to see me get punished for didn’t follow his command?” Daniel put down his black bag on the bed and let it open. Erina can see many medical kit such as antiseptic, band-aid, and surgical scissor.
Erina still freeze on her foot and blinked once. “...Morgan did call you here?” She asked, can’t belive the cruel man did calling a doctor for her.
From the first time she came here until now, Erina wasn't even given water and now the man is willing to call a doctor for her?
Surprisingly, Daniel nodded his head as the answer.
“Yeah, he said I have to make sure you are in perfect condition for tomorrow.” Daniel answered.
All of Erina’s hope fall apart all of sudden. Morgan didn’t care to her. In the end, he just cared about himself and his plan.
Daniel smiled and start kneel to the ground right in front of her.
“Therefore, just sit still like a princess and watch how I heal your beatifull foot,” He said in a soft and low voice.
He handed her ankle slowly and watched to the injury closely. He takes a pinset and swipe out the left shards.
“Akh…” Erina groaned in pain.
“I’ll do it carefully.” Daniel murmured and still looks directly to the injury on her foot. “You aren’t one of Morgan’s maids, right?” He asked all of sudden.
“What?” Erina asked back. The question is out of nowhere.
Daniel put down the pinset which have bloodstains, then take a antiseptic. “Morgan wouldn’t call me just to treat a maid, and he never brings a women before. So… who are you to Morgan?” He asked.
Erina keep silent. Her lips closed tightly while she keep an eye on Daniel’s move. Actually, she didn’t know how to answer the question. Who am I to Morgan? She wondered. Even Erina can’t figure it out.
“...is there any way to get out of here?” She answered Daniel’s question with another question.
Daniel stopped his hand at Erina’s question. That’s mean she didn’t come here of her own will. Could it means Erina is one of the Morgan’s hostages?
“Of course there is a way.” Daniel answered and looked directly at her. “But, your life would be the price.”
Erina fell back to silence after hear that answer and Daniel continue his activities.
“Why?” He asked. “Do you try to escape from this cage?”
“Are you going to help me?” Erina asked hopefully. Her eyes keep landed on his hair and back. For a doctor, Daniel looks very atlethic. With that shape of face, he could be a model for famous magazine.
Daniel didn’t answer quickly. He is silence for a while and choose his words carefully.
“For now, I couldn’t help you. I have no ability to do that, but I can ensure you can run as fast as wind with a healed foot. Finished.” He look up to Erina and smiled.
Erina is diving to his brown eyes and they are staring at each other for a moment. Daniel could find the plea for help in Erina’s eyes, and he couldn’t hold it. But, he knows exactly he didn’t have enough capability and powerness to do such a thing.
“Have you finished–” Morgan appears from the door and stopped. Both Erina and Daniel turned their head to another direction immediately.
Unfortunately, Morgan has saw everything and he could swear he catch a strange thing in their eyecontact.
“What did you do to her?” Morgan asked to Daniel. His voice sound different, as if despite a question, his word also mean a threat.
However, Daniel managed to respond calmly.
“Treat her injury, as your command,” He answered and started to take in his stuff. He also took out a medicine from his bag.
“Make sure you use this twice a day and after you clean your wound.” He messaged.
Erina accepted it and nodded obediently. Morgan was slightly surprised. Erina is very obedient and compromises just like a tame animal.
Right after Daniel went out of the room, Morgan take his steps towards Erina.
“Did Daniel do anything to you?” He asked suspiciously.
No matter how hard he tried, Morgan never managed to make Erina show her obey to him. But, he just left they both for a second and suddenly Erina has changed into an obidient girl.
However, the protest eyes came back when Erina’s glared to Morgan.
“The only one who dangerous in here is you, Morgan.” She answered in a firm voice.
His worried dissappear instantly. Now, Erina is going back to her normal side that hard to conquered. Morgan ignored his comment and fly a white envelope to Erina. The envelope is soft and has beautiful floral pattern on it.
“Write one name you will invite tomorrow.” He asked.
Erina sits still. She didn’t answer, neither take the envelope which contain wedding invitations. She is just staring at the paper to Morgan.
“I don’t want to invite anybody honestly, but someone has to be a witness for you. So, write down one name on it. Just one name.” Morgan warned.
He has considered it carefully and take a risk when decided to let her invite one name. It will much better if they celebrate it secretly, but it would raise a suspicion on Erina’s side. He has to conviced everyone to believe their wedding, so he made a risky decision.
On the other hand, Erina can see a chance. She take the envelope confidently and write a name on it. She’s well-known the man and she hang her hope on him to help Erina get away from this hell.
“Here,” She said while handed over the envelope to Morgan.
He accepted it and look down to read a name on the envelope.
Edward Nathaniel.
His eyerbrows tightened. His name shows his identity and Morgan doubtlessly think he is a man. Who is he?
***
On the other side, a well-dressed man sat down in his office. A plaque made of shiny glass displayed on his desk.
Edward Nathaniel. Lawyer.
He was going through his case files when a man walked in.
“There's a delivery for you, Sir.” He said. There are plenty of documents in his hand.
“Just put it down here.” Edward answered while his eyes still focused on the paper in his hand.
His men do it exactly like what he ordered. He put down the documents in the corner of his desk, then went off from the room. Edward planned to check it later, right before he finished his work. But, there's an envelope on the top of the documents. It tickles his curiosity.
Then, Edward decided to postponed the documents and take his time to check the envelope.
Wedding invitations. We invite you to attend bla bla bla
We look forward to your bla bla bla.
Edward passed it quickly.
Sebastian Morgan and Erina Keithleen.
Edward's eyes wide open. He read it over again and again and still got the same name. Erina Keithleen.
“She is getting married? Tomorrow? With Sebastian Morgan?” He murmured doubtedly. He continues to read over and the more he reads the letter, the more his eyebrows tightened.
There's something wrong.
There must be something wrong with the wedding.
Without thinking further, Edward takes over the intercom on the desk. His secretary's voice comes out quickly.
“Postpone all meetings for tomorrow evening. I have to attend a friend's wedding.” He asked in a clear voice.
