Arianna’s family was falling apart and facing a tragic demise, however, her heart sank when she clearly saw Travis Cooper’s name on the acquisition papers. She had no choice but to negotiate with him.
Arianna lowered her head and relaxed her shoulders to ease the tension. She should show him gratefulness to make him happier, she thought, but she just couldn’t do it.
“How would you be willing to leave my grandfather alone?”
He casually poured her a cup of tea and placed it in front of her before replying, “I think the correct person to ask is the judge, no? The offenders are usually punished. This is a matter of justice, isn’t it?”
Arianna was beginning to grow tired of his mood swings.
“He is old, and his body is failing him. He would not last long in prison.” Arianna continued to try to sway him.
“What can I do? I always admire devoted children.” His voice carried some ridicule, “But I’m not a charity. I only do transactions with interests. What would you do in exchange for the freedom of your grandfather?”
Travis intertwined the fingers of his one hand with the other and rested his hands on his stomach as he leaned back in his chair once more. His expression was a bit lazy, “Since you entered this door, I’ve been waiting for the drama of you selling your body and soul to me in order to save your family member.”
When Arianna didn’t reply, Travis explicitly said, “Maybe I’m just bored. I’d like to try something fun.”
Arianna’s stomach felt like it flipped. She looked at the handsome face that was now showing evil.

The butler bowed and shut the door behind him.


Arianna took a long hot bath. She closed her eyes and let her body melt into the water.


Once the water lost its heat, she dried off with a bath towel. Not wanting to put her work clothes back on, she exchanged her wet towel for a dry one before leaving the bathroom.


Travis’s employees were very efficient. When she stepped out of the bathroom, the items she requested were placed on the desk. There was even a pot of hot water, which she didn’t ask for.


The main bedroom was large and empty with too little decoration and monotonous colors.


She studied the cold-colored abstract painting on his wall before shifting her gaze elsewhere. The desk lamp, ashtray, and the textbooks had not moved since the last time she was there.
