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.

Various breeds of snakes popped into her head. Arianna opened her eyes and saw the darkness, but the illusion did not disappear. She slowly moved towards him, and the images of snakes slowly disappeared until she touched his skin.


“Everyone has a couple of fears. Have you always been afraid of them?” Travis added.


Arianna’s teeth were chattering from cold and anxiety. She fought hard to keep herself from hitting him to stop his talking.


“Of course, I’m afraid of them. But I’ve been afraid of so many things. You can always overcome fears in the end.... What are you afraid of?” Arianna was curious about him.


“Poverty, hunger, cold, discrimination, intimidation, and blood; but not snakes. My family raised some snakes when I was a child. You should get a pet snake to overcome your fear.” He chuckled in the darkness.


She felt bad for him when he listed his first few fears. Although they had nothing to do with him now, she knew that he had suffered through them once before.
