“I’m warning you, Ivor. Don’t do anything to me!” Bonnie was a little annoyed. Simultaneously, she felt other inexplicable emotions. It was all because Ivor was holding her. If it had been someone else, she would’ve snapped their member and ended their lineage.

“Stay still, Bonnie. Just let me hold you a little. I’m still shaken by what happened earlier. Your little getup terrified me. I finally found someone I love. When I fell in love with you, I swore I’d cherish you and wouldn’t let anything happen to you.

“The last thing I expected to see was your alleged dying moments. It felt as if my world was crumbling, and I’d lost any motivation to live. I’ve never known how fear felt until that moment. I meant it when I said I was terrified,” Ivor’s deep voice kept echoing in Bonnie’s ears.

She merely lay there and listened to him express his thoughts. She did not fight back or scold him. Instead, she lay still and allowed him to embrace her.

Bonnie lay in the bed until Ivor said he was exhausted and dozed off. Only then did she move lightly. However, her slight movement made him tighten his hold.

Bonnie looked at his dashing features in confusion and listened to his steady breathing. The way she saw it, he was already deep asleep.

‘So, does that mean his earlier movement was a subconscious reaction?‘

Bonnie wanted to test her theory. So, she moved again, and Ivor instinctively tightened his grip again.

‘Fine, then. It looks like I’ll have to sleep like this tonight. It’s not like I can’t break free from Ivor’s grasp if I wanted to. It’s just that…‘

Listening to the chirpings of the crickets, she looked out the window and saw the brilliant moon in the sky. She could feel the warmth of his body. Everything seemed as serene as it could be. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

‘It’s not like Ivor’s going to do anything outrageous tonight. Time to sleep.‘

The following day, Bonnie was still sleepy when she felt a cooling sensation on her head. She did not overthink it and closed her eyes to go back to sleep.

Meanwhile, Ivor leaned against the door and touched his lips, his eyes full of joy.

Later, Bonnie woke up and sent the video and pictures to Xavier.

“Hahaha! She’s finally dead! I can’t believe she would disrespect me like that. That’ll teach her to mess with me. That lady from the SR League is highly efficient. She killed Bonnie right under Ivor’s nose and didn’t get caught.”

Then, he received a text from ‘Bonnie.‘ “It’s time you pay the remaining five billion.”

Xavier was walking on cloud nine and no longer cared about the money. He quickly transferred the remaining amount to her. Then he told one of his men, “Send someone to check on the Knights‘ villa.

I want to know how heartbroken Ivor is,”

“Right away, Mr. Xavier,”

Soon after, his man ran into his room frantically,

“Sir, B–Bonnie’s alive!”

“She’s alive? How’s that possible? I checked the pictures and video. Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake?”

The man pulled out his phone and showed Xavier the video he had taken earlier. In the video, Bonnie stood in the garden, going about her day.

“H–How’s that possible?!” Xavier snatched the phone away and rewatched the video, trying to confirm it was really Bonnie. “What on earth is going on?”

“Is the SR League trying to swindle you, Mr. Xavier?” The man took a wild guess.

“That’s not possible! The league has an excellent reputation worldwide. Why would they risk ruining it for a mere ten billion dollars?”

“B–But, sir… The fact remains that Bonnie is alive!”

‘He’s right. Bonnie’s alive and breathing! Does that mean the pictures and video I received earlier are fake? Did she dupe me?‘

Xavier was outraged, quickly taking his phone and texting Bonnie, “She’s still alive! I demand an explanation!”

Bonnie replied to his text, “That was fast. Did you figure me out already?”

“Why, you little- Damn You! Aren’t you worried I’ll publicize your actions and ruin the SR League’s reputation? How dare you pull a fast one on me! The way I see it, you went rogue and did this yourself. Do you know what’ll happen if the league’s top brass finds out what you did?!”

Bonnie ignored his questions and asked in return, “Have you ever wondered why no one in the league was willing to accept your quest?”
