Half-asleep. I felt an intense gaze fixed on me as if a will beast from the mountains was watching, making a chill run down my spine.

I tried to open my eyes but couldn't, no matter how hard I tried.

After a moment, the figure leaned closer, their breath warm against my ear as they whispered, "Chloe, when will you ever love me?" Lovel #ho's asking for my love!

At dawn, after finishing breakfast, Damian led me to a room where a muscular female instructor awaited.

"Mrs. Bolton, starting today, I'll be teaching you self-defense. Beyond the moves, it's even more important to build physical strength. If you don't, you'll realize just how big the gap is between a man's and a woman's strength when faced with real danger" ""Yes, I'll follow your instructions," I replied.

Knowing that Anna was a martial artist only made me more cautious. If I ever fell into her hands, I needed a feast some way to defend myself.

"Mrs. Bolton, you need to be mentally prepared. You're not exactly young, and you lack a solid foundation. Mr. Bolton specifically instructed me not to go easy on you. So, if it hurts, I won't hold back."

"I understand," I said firmly.

You have to endure hardship to gain real skills.

Josie Cross, my stern-faced instructor, didn't let up, pushing me through ab crunches, weightlifting, and other strength-building exercises.

After showering, I collapsed onto the bed, feeling the world spin around me.
