Chapter 25 || Angered

"Are you sure you'll be okay? I can stay with you during the nights."

Y/n smiled at the housekeeper. "I'm fine, Yona. You know the place is guarded, and I've been alone at home for the past ten nights already."

Yona nodded reluctantly. "All right. Let me at least stay until you are done with dinner."

"I'll just grab a sandwich now. I'm super hungry. Suho made me train for two hours straight."

Yona laughed. "Fine. Your sandwich is ready. Let me bring it."

Y/n sat outside. Her training workouts were getting longer and more intense by the day. They made her hungry, and Suho wanted her to eat a lot of small meals that were high in protein.

"Here." Yona placed an oversized sandwich in front of her.

Y/n laughed. "I don't think Suho meant something this big when he said sandwich for dinner tonight."

"You should eat. You are already too skinny, and Suho is making you control your diet. I don't think Tae-hyung will be happy about it."

Y/n smiled, not arguing. Yona reminded her of Young-ok. She had been meeting Young-ok each week when she went to her father's house. The old woman was spry as before and regaled her with old memories of her mother.

She felt a twinge. She wondered if she could get Young-ok to live at the beach house with her. Being with Young-ok made her feel close to her mother. And despite having people in the beach house, she felt lonely.

Especially during the nights.

Shaking her head, she brushed off the thought immediately. She felt a spike of anger at herself for feeling that way about a man who didn't deserve anything from her.

"Would you like anything else? Juice or fruit?" Yona cleared up the dinner plate.

"No. I'm fine, Yona. Remember, no fruits after six in the evening."

The older woman frowned and grumbled, most likely at Suho.

Y/n laughed. "All right. I'll see you tomorrow, Yona."

Waving at the older woman, Y/n headed upstairs.

She was tired. All she wanted to do was take a long, hot shower and crash on the bed.

Shedding her clothes, she stepped into bathroom. She turned on the shower and adjusted it to a warm setting before stepping under the water.

She let out a groan of relief.

She still felt weird about the self-defence training. Why did Kim Tae-hyung marry her? One of the main reasons was to take revenge on her father whom he held responsible for the deaths of his parents.

Then why wasn't she tortured or harmed in any way?

At first, she had thought he was drawing it out, so he could strike when she was least expecting it. But now, doubts began to creep into her mind.

What was his agenda? And why did he blow hot and cold, confusing her?

He was truly the devil and was way too unpredictable. Thank God she had decided not to continue with her foolhardy plan of seducing him into lowering his defences towards her.

She let out a sigh and was about to turn off the water when she suddenly felt the cold air on her body, followed by hot, wet skin at her back. She let out a shriek and was about to hit her attacker using her elbow before she went for his eyes. But strong arms held her arms at her sides and spun her around quickly.

She was facing the devil, and he was completely naked. Her heart pounded and spikes of adrenaline rushed through her bloodstream. It took a few moments to realize there was no immediate danger, but her adrenaline was still high, and it changed into anger.
