CHAPTER FIFTEEN / Hold Me in this Wild, Wild World
For your eyes only (I show you my heart)
There was blood everywhere in the room; on the ceiling, on the marble floor, on the walls, and on Seungwan’s mother who was tied on a chair.
Yuki Hana’s hands were shackled with chains, her legs tied with thick ropes, and her dress was stained with blood.
“Save me, dear child.” The Japanese lady whispered. She couldn’t raise her head to look at her younger daughter, for her body was drained.
