BREAK OF DAWN

Shea was patiently waiting for the sun to rise. She couldnt sleep thinking of what she will find from there about Tan. She was also scared after knowing that Qihe have gone on a mission. What if he gets hurt? She couldnt digest the fact that he have turned to a mafia. It doesnt have to surprise her so much because he have been that way long back.

The cell opened soon enough and Shea stood up in an instant. She saw two men giving her death stares. What if they are gonna follow her always? Her whole plan will end up good for nothing in that case.

SHEA'S POV....

"Can I go?" I asked the guards who for sure didnt answer me.

I walked out slowly while trying to adjust to the sudden exposure of light. A whole day, I was locked up in a dark cell. The path was unfamiliar to me as I was literally screaming with my eyes closed the other day when they dragged me. I felt being followed by those guards so I stopped and looked back at them.

"What?" I asked and as usual silence was the answer.

I walked again and they did the same too which means Qihe must have ordered them to watch me. I dont think, I will able to find anything if they continue to stick around. I looked around and saw the motion cameras everywhere and of course it turned as I moved from one place to another. I wonder if he have kept a camera in the bathroom.

I walked up to the lounge to see a couple of maids waiting there for me.

"Why does he need me to do all the chores when there are so many maids here actually?" I asked myself when a lady approached me.

"Hey, you are going to clean the entire place before evening." A lady commanded and I gritted my teeth.

"Who are you to order me?" I snapped at her and probably that was a bad idea as she slapped me right away.

"Do not talk back. You are new here and I am your senior." She said with a smirk.

"What the hell? Senior and junior in maids too? He must be really crazy." I muttered under my breath.

Soon they gave me the vacuum cleaner and mop to do the chores. Do they want me to clean this whole place. It truely looks like a palace with so many rooms and hallways. I cant reach the top of the shelf and ceiling even if I fly. I gave them a doubtful look and they seemed to understand it.

"Clean everywhere except the ceiling and the places you cant clearly reach. Jihyoon will accompany you." The lady said and a man came walking down the stairs and bowed to me.

He looked super tall and somehow I managed to see a smile in the hell hole. He had a pleasant smile which was a relief. He guided me to a room and I suppose thats the first place which I will have to search for clues along with my work. I started vacuuming the room from one side. The room looked like a personal study which may belong to Qihe.

'Whose room is this?" I asked not knowing if at least he would answer.

"Young master's study room." He said.

"Who is that?" I asked confused while dusting the books.

"Fai. Thats his name but we all call him young master and even you should."

"What? That kid?" I remember him as we met in the basketball stadium that day.

"So he is Qihe's brother. I dont remember Tan having a brother. He had a sister." I thought to myself and continued with my work.

"How did you end up here? Did your parents sell you?" Jihyoon asked making me choke on my saliva.

"Excuse me?" I asked.

"Thats how all come here. They are all sold to master or else they come to work for him on their own. Once they go into his bed room at night, they never come out alive the next morning."

"What the hell? What does that mean?" I was confused.

"No one leaves this place once they see his face." He gave a slight smile which creeped me out.

"So you dont know who he is?"

"Master. Sometimes, Brian calls him Captain. Thats all we know. You also dont try to know more about him." He warned me and I felt dumbfounded.

If the workers here doesnt know him, it means I am in trouble. I know him which means I am stuck here. I wanted to kill myself at this point as it was my call to see his face.

"What else do you know about him?" I asked to get some information.

"Shh.. even the walls here have ears. We cant talk about him here." He warned and continued his work.

Hours flew by and all I managed to see was hundreds of files and guns here and there. To be honest, he have more guns than the number of fangirls he have. I had to be very careful as all the places were clearly under surveillance and one wrong move, I will be dead. I was even followed by guards from time to time.

"I am done." I breathed out.

"No, we have to finish this all." He complained.

Does he think that I am a robot? If I could used my powers then I would have finished it in an hour. How am I supposed to do that when all eyes are on me? I am not afraid of anyone here but I cant get caught and moreover I want to know the truth. I dont want to kill all these innocent people without learning the actual truth.

"Hey, focus on the work." He patted my hands.

"Fuck." I pulled back because my hands were ice cold as I am getting weak.

I didnt get blood since two days and thats a problem because now I will no longer get it as I am stuck here. I walked to the next room and Jihyoon followed me. I hope he didnt notice my temperature.
