[Yuna Burgert’s perspective.]

This man is so scary!!!

I almost froze on the bed. He was like a black hole, sucking everything in. Looking into his eyes would make me shudder involuntarily. His facial features were handsome and sharp, but the demonic aura around him was so strong. Even if he was smiling, you could feel that he would mercilessly snap your neck in the next second. If you had to describe it in words, He was like Lucifer, the King of Hell.

“I will interrogate the people of Burgert family and find out the whereabouts of Miss Yuna. I will definitely not let her escape.

“Go, Glen.”

“Yes.”

“Also, Helen Bridge…”

“…”

My gaze was fixed on Andrew’s hand that was holding the pistol. I could barely hear what they were saying.

I was only worried that he would end me with a single shot.

It was funny to say that a person who had thought about suicide and had just survived death would actually be afraid of death at this moment. However, everything was because the man in front of me was too terrifying. The fear he brought to me was even greater than death, making me fear death once again. In other words, I did not care about death, but I definitely did not want it to be in his hands.

“What are you thinking about?”

I did not know when, but his subordinates had already left. Andrew then walked to my side.

I did not dare to look directly at him. My gaze only stopped at his waist. It was the silver pistol! Then, a slender hand reached over and pulled out the pistol. My gaze could not help but follow his hand’s movements. He was playing with his pistol.

“You like this gun?”

I froze again. I did not dare to shake my head or nod.

If I heard correctly, they were looking for the Young Lady of the Burgert family, Miss Yuna. That was me! I did not know where I got the courage to deny it. In the beginning, I was only scared by his imposing manner. I did not dare to admit it at all. As for now, if I admitted that I was Yuna, what would happen? Would he kill me?

I did not want to die in his hands!

I could not admit it. I definitely could not admit it. I wanted to live on!

I told myself firmly in my heart over and over again. Finally, I mustered up my courage and looked up at him. I saw Andrew’s half-smiling face.

“Why aren’t you saying anything?”

“I… I’m just thinking, the person you’re looking for, that Young lady of the Burgert family. What do you want to do to her?”

“Yuna?”

I was shocked. I almost thought that he had seen through me. When I saw his expression, the smile on his face only became stronger and more dangerous.

I gathered my courage and said, “I think, it’s this name.”

“She’s my fiancée.”

I opened my mouth in shock. Fiancée? I recalled what I had heard vaguely before I woke up and thought in bewilderment. I was just a young lady that no one cared about. I had never been taken seriously in the Burgert family. I was not even qualified to be a bargaining chip. I had never heard of any marriage contract. Could it be that my scumbag father had secretly promised me a marriage even though he did not care about me?

“I’ve never heard of any marriage.”

“You don’t even know Miss Burgert’s name. How would you know about her marriage?”

I was speechless.

Indeed, if I was not Yuna, then I had nothing to do with this matter.

Wait. I had nothing to do with this matter, of course, I had nothing to do with it! I should not have stayed here. He should have released me and gone to find his ‘Miss Yuna’!

My mind cleared up a little and I spoke again, “I really don’t know about this, Mr. Alex. You can see that I’m just an insignificant person. I’m of no use to you and I’m not a threat to you. I’m fine now. Can you please let me go?”

I did not know if it was just my imagination, but after I finished speaking, the aura around Andrew seemed to have become gloomier. The smile on his face also disappeared. I recalled what I said and felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

The air seemed to have frozen. After a moment of silence, I tried to speak again, “Mr. Alex…”

“No.”

The man’s deep voice sounded.

“In the beginning, we all thought that you were Yuna, but you said that you don’t know anything about this. We still need to verify this.” Andrew looked at me intently. It was as if he wanted to pierce through my soul.

“But before that, you can’t leave yet. I warned you before that I wouldn’t condone swindlers, and I would treat everyone who tried to deceive King cruelly.”
