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.

Vince obediently knelt in front of the icon, praying in a good manner, “May the Lord forgive my sins.” Arianna suspected that he was reading it to her, and she let out a soft sneer.


Later, when the pastor left and when they walked out of the church together, Vince said, “Sneering in the church is disrespectful.”


Arianna said that she didn’t believe in religion, and she thought of his look of a pure saint a while ago and asked, “Since you can’t remember anything, and your soul is pure like a baby, what sins do you have that need the Lord to forgive?”


“Life is sinful. It hurts the mother, worries the family, grabs food, and takes up resources.” Vince added, “And, for those important people, I have forgotten.”
