Chapter 43

Do you remember the night you came to save me?

En. Magnus replied simply as he adjusted their position on the double sofa. Marissa still reffused to let go so they had to sit together amidst a little awkwardness.

I was going to be sold as a punishment for trying to escape.

Well I had tried to escape several times so it was reasonable that they tried to sell me.

I was... devastated.

If I was sold to some unknown prison again it will take years to plan another escape.

So I had to do it that night.

However die to some reason I have no idea about, I was caught.

I did make sure to be careful though I think they had a camera on me.

Whatever.

When I was caught I was in the midst of getting punished once again when you came.

I couldn't help it, I was helpless then and you were my only hope.

Oh and here I was thinking I had saved a damsel in destress not knowing it was just a tiger who had only been trapped.

Hehe I'm not a damsel in destress.

My blood wouldn't let me I just feel it you know like something I must do.

It's okay the fierce once are always interesting trust me.

So you like me then?

Well you can say that.

Magnus was acting smitten and he looked like the hooligan Calvin at it.

He also couldn't help it as it felt so natural.

So can you tell me why your dad "brought" me here.

It's not my dad it's my... mom's dad.

I really don't know them it's just like having a whole family pop out of no where and claim you as their child after having a DNA test.

They are trying but I just....

It's okay I understand.

No grandpa thinks that you'll help me love them but or you know get to know them better but it's just I ....

You don't understand why they hadn't managed to find you all this while right?

They might have tried you know, it's just the underworld isn't a place you can truffle with.

Magnus pats her head while they sat on the sofa with Marisa on his thighs.

They acted like an old couple who had only been separated by certain means.

So where is he now..your grandfather?

I don't know he might have wanted us to get along so he's giving us time.

I have a feeling you didn't submit yourself to my grandpa and that he brought you here forcefully.

Oh you have a feeling huh?

Well you'd better not let go of that feeling.

Magnus's expression turns smug.

Ah so it's true then.

But did he really b..buy you or you know something like that?

You could say that too.

Magnus was taking all this well however that couldn't be said for some people.
