Treasure hunt time

Punishment?

Mila blinked, trying to move away from this crazy man, but Zyran pinned her to a spot by holding her chin.

"W-hat did I do?" Mila asked, staring back at him for just a few seconds before looking away. She didn't remember breaking any of his insufferable rules or even doing anything to sabotage the Montclair.

"You don't know what you did?" Zyran asked with a smirk, brushing his thumb on her face before letting go.

Mila nodded. As a matter of fact, she did nothing. This man just wanted a reason to punish her, to see her terrified, and she knew it!

Zyran took a step back and scanned the woman in front of him.

"What were you doing on the news, then? If you did nothing wrong?" He raised his phone to show her.

Mila squinted. When she saw herself tasting wine, blood rushed up to her ears, and she bit her lip.

"That's—" she paused, thinking of a possible explanation, then snapped her fingers.
