Trapped Married By Young Master - Chapter 17

‘Did he accuse me of stealing?’ Luci stuttered inwardly. The girl then backed away in fear, wanting to run away. Her eyes narrowed when she saw the man that was sent by Spider was barking at her, like a wild animal. There was another reason urging her to run away. Who was Diamond? Why was that name brought up?

From the tone of Spider’s messengers, it seemed like Diamond wasn’t someone who held the title of the honorable person in the world. Or you could say Diamond is a terrible and sadistic person.

‘Am I going to get involved with the sadism of just wearing Spider’s coat? Is Spider in danger?’

Meanwhile, the surroundings were very quiet and dark. It had made Luci’s fear seem to have multiplied. What if the person in front of her snatched Spider’s coat for his own sake? Then what if the man she didn’t know was just boasting? The boast was just an excuse because he wanted to come closer and touch her desirable body.

All possibilities seemed to poison her mind.

But the second assumption didn’t seem to be proven true because the man only focused on Spider’s coat, and also Luci’s eyes which were currently teary and almost crying.

“You know Sir Diamond?” asked the man again with a gloomy face. This time he was in the shadow of the place. The yellow light in front of the exit couldn’t shine a good light on his face.

“I – I don’t know who Sir Diamond is,” Luci answered truthfully. Her voice was hoarse and trembling. She was too frantic in the creeping fear.

For her, this place was hell because she had to see many evils and transgressions. This place was hell for her because she had to lose her hard-earned money today. For her, this place was hell because this was where Hans was kidnapped so he could be ransomed.

This place was full of a dark aura, a place she had always hated. At least that way she would only be reminded of her past in the cage of her adoptive parents.

Luci also looked down with feelings that mixed between depression, fear, and panic. She wanted to get out of here immediately because in her subconscious she had planted this place as an area that must be avoided as soon as possible. Otherwise, then her own life will be at stake.

“You know who the guy you were here with earlier was?” asked the stranger.

Luci did not dare to look into his face and eyes. All she could see was a slick black loafer with an undetectable mark. The shoe had a muzzle that looked like it was ready to devour Luci who was trembling in fear in her position.

“You don’t know?” asked the man again, as if to confirm whether Luci was avoiding his question or she didn’t know who Diamond was.

Luci didn’t know what to say. She knew Spider but she didn’t know who Diamond was. After all, revealing personal information to strangers was highly discouraged, especially if you see your position in the middle of the Evil Fort like this. It could be that one mistake as big as the watermelon seeds would end up stretching the life you have.

It didn’t matter if it was Luci who was harmed, but she wouldn’t be able to forgive herself if it had to happen to Hans. It was enough for her to kill people once. It was enough for Daniel to die in her hands.

“I don’t know who Sir Diamond is,” answered Luci shakily.

“But if that guy was with you, do you know who he is?” asked the stranger.

What was this? Was Luci being interrogated? But with what problem? Luci didn’t want to interfere and get involved in a matter that she didn’t know about. Especially when it came to a dark world like here.

“I don’t know, please don’t talk to me! I’m thinking about my sick brother,” Luci pleaded with a very pitiful face.

Then Luci moved to tidy up the blanket that warmed Hans’ body at this time. Luci also pulled Spider’s coat higher. Luci hoped the clothes would warm the boy.

Hans was unconscious with a very pale face and eyes closed. The respirator was not attached to his nose. It’s just that the IV line was attached to his tiny wrist.

Hans was the only treasure that Luci had. Hans was a sign of the love that Luci had for Daniel. Previously, Hans was the last and only family she had before she met Spider tonight.

It didn’t take long for Spider to come out of the building where Luci was standing, along with strangers who forced her to pay off Aunt Arum’s gambling debt. With his sturdy body, Spider walked steadily to approach Luci.

Spider glanced at the man guarding Luci earlier. Then after Spider gave the code through a head movement, the stranger nodded and then left and entered the building.

“Well, how about it, Bee? I’m not long right?” asked Spider in a very soft and crisp voice. His smile grew so high that it made Luci shudder. It seemed that Luci had to get out of here otherwise every extra warmth and smile would look like a horrible grin to her.

“I – come on, I have to get out of here soon. I’m worried about Hans,” Luci stuttered, starting to get very restless, especially after seeing the sky starting to be filled with the morning light. Luci did not want to be in this place until the morning came until the sun rose and shone on this place.

If the light had appeared to shine thoroughly in this place then Luci would have no place to hide from the people who intended to trip over and do bad things to her. After all, Luci attracted too much attention by carrying the lying Hans. She was afraid that it might cause someone to take the initiative to blackmail her back.

“All right, come with me. I’ve got the car set up around here. Let’s get this kid into that car. There will be one of my comrades driving it. And you can come in my car. Which hospital are we going to?” said Spider at length.

His deep eyes couldn’t help but scrutinize Luci’s face for a long time, which he had longed for. The tremors in his chest had swelled. Spider began to believe that the feelings he has kept for Luci were still there today.

For him Luci was not an adopted sister, Luci was a daughter who once saved his soul. After all, Luci had promised Spider that she would never leave him, no matter what. And Spider knew Luci would not deny it.

‘It’s time to remind her of that promise,’ Spider thought. ‘Now is a good time to remind her since we’re both grown up, and since we’re both free from adoptive family ties anymore.’

Spider smiled dreaming of it. His mind wandered again, ‘We can unite as lovers. And if it’s urgent, we can even do the wedding right away.’

The man glanced at the girl beside him, ‘I know Bee won’t reject me because she promised never to leave me. And to fulfill that promise I will ask her to marry me’.
