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.

Arianna rubbed her neck with her hand, resisting the impulse to look in a mirror. She could feel the marks of her grandpa’s fingers around her neck.


She walked along the corridor and went to the top floor of the building without any emotion. Though the building was relatively new, its style was old. There were only four floors, each with a different floor plan that only the staff knew.


The rain began to pour and made a slight buzzing noise on the roof. A light layer of fog surrounded the distant mountains. It looked like a painting.


The top floor was lined with comfortable chairs by large windows. Arianna sat down, leaning heavily into the chair, and lit a cigarette. She took a deep puff and closed her eyes. Old memories came like a flood into her head, worsening her emotion.
