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 turned her back to him. She was really prepared for today.


Maybe she really was expecting Travis to remind her their agreement still had a long way to go, just like in the past.


Or maybe she wanted him to prove that she was still alive, still capable of feeling pain and shame.


She felt like she had lost all her senses in the past few weeks in the hospital. Arianna thought of herself as just a soulless body.


She growled, “Thanks for not touching me today. Please leave and lock the door for me.”


Then she began to take off the thick bathrobe but found that the knot was very tight because of her carelessness. Arianna struggled with the knot and had to use a lot of force. When she finally got it untied, she heard the click of the electronic lock, and she thought Travis was gone.


She dropped the bathrobe to the floor. The pajamas that were prepared for her on the side of the bed had fallen down during her struggle with the knot.
