Predatory Marriage (Web Novel)

Her statement was clear. Confidential words spewed out, Leah tightly zipped her lips to a close.

The man, for the first time, became quiet—astonished as if he suddenly forgot how to speak. Staring to his face, anticipating a reaction, Leah found herself jolt in shock.

She saw a stir in his golden eyes—his pupils narrowed, and a red color encircled it like a girdle.

She was frightened for a moment, and hairs on her body stood on ends. The man, noticing the fear he was inciting in her, heavily sighed.

He ruffled his hair, wiped his face, and for a moment, covered his eyes.

And when his eerie gaze was revealed again, the menacing look in his eyes had vanished, masked with his usual relaxed countenance.

The man dragged Leahs small body atop his belly. He gathered her silver hair to one side, and spoke with his lips lightly pressed against her exposed white nape.

“As for my story—the Kurkan who doesnt have tattoos—Ill tell you the next time we meet,” A faint smile crept up his lips, his eyes shone with a mischievous glint, “It will be quite fun.”

How absurd. He seemed quite certain that he would meet her again. Knowing the vanity his words, Leah laughed in silence. The expectant smile he wore would likely crumble at any moment.

He asked again, narrowing the gap between his brows, “Hold on to your life until I finish telling you my story, alright?”

As long as it stayed as an empty, meaningless agreement, she would tolerate it. Leah nodded nimbly, watching him as he dragged his enormous body up from the bed, letting her head rest on a pillow instead.
