Just as I was about to speak, Henrik's voice already rang in my ear, "Lass, do you believe if I let him in right now, it'll just mean one more for me to take away?" He was threatening me, trying to scare me.

"Felicia?" Conrad called out for me again from outside, his voice tinged with a noticeable urgency.

There was no way I was going to let Henrik take me away without making a sound. So, I lowered my head and bit into Henrik's hand, and as he flinched in pain and loosened his grip, I broke free and dashed towards the door, "Conrad, help..." I couldn't finish my words before a cold breeze hit the back of my neck, and then I knew no more.

When I woke up, darkness surrounded me, with only a few dim floor lamps lit. I was lying on a soft, large bed.

The scenes before I lost consciousness flashed through my mind, and I sat up abruptly, throwing off the covers to check my clothing.

Seeing the unfamiliar pajamas on me, my mind exploded. Then, the room's door opened, and there was Henrik, also dressed in pajamas.

A chill ran through my entire body as I stared at him with a mix of terror and anger.

"So fierce?" Henrik smirked, a corner of his lips lifted.

I glared at him, speechless.
