IN THE CAGE

4. PROVOCATIVELY

...Fawn POV's...

.......

While I was still handcuffed in the Hunter family residence, locked in the spacious and cold room of the eldest Hunter, two days had passed. I thank God because for two days yesterday, Ace had no return home. I live alone in that room. 

Occasionally Felix-the Ace-servant-visits and delivers food. At first, I was reluctant to eat whatever they gave me. I have no appetite and only crave a quick and painless death. I thought, maybe hunger is a great way to achieve my desire to die.

I was reluctant to eat but a plate of rice with delicious side dishes was slowly catching my attention. My lost appetite burst to the surface, coming with a loud thud from my roaring belly. It's laughable.

When I want to die, why can't my stomach compromise?

In the end, I was defeated by my heightened appetite. I ate my lunch and dinner so well. It was only when I was full that guilt came to my mind. I shouldn't have eaten anything this family gave me.

Cklek!

The door of the room opened again. Felix walked in and looked at me who was eating breakfast. That guy, he never hugged me. He came in and out of this room just to watch me go to the toilet, handcuff me and feed me.

"Mr Ace will be home soon" Felix said. He looked at me seriously, as if the information was useful to me. I don't care if that bastard comes home or not!

"Whatever," I responded. I'm more interested in the bowl of chicken soup served in front of me right now.

"I know you hate Mr. Ace. Therefore, I will convey this for your good, master Ace is in a bad mood today. I hope you don't provoke him."

"Oooh, how understanding. Are you saying this for my own good or for your master's good, huh? Don't talk nonsense!" I grunt.

"You fuckers just don't want your master's mood to get worse, do you? The situation might be bad for you if he goes berserk. Take it easy, I know, I know. I was a bodyguard too before."

Felix didn't seem to like my response. Wh why? Am I talking on target? Haha. I'm not stupid, yeah. You stupid people.

"If you understand, great." Felix turned around and left me in that quiet room.

Thinking that Ace is going home today, my mood got a bad one too. I looked at my soup bowl and pensively. What will happen to me in the future? I can't get stuck here and be the crazy guy's toy. If there's anything I can do as a match even if it's only in this handcuffed state, I want to fight.

'I hope you don't provoke him, ' Felix's words echoed in my head once again. Fishing out the crazy idea that just came to mind. That stupid waitress, oh my God, she just gave me an idea to avenge that pervert Ace.

Look what I'm gonna do to you, Ace Hunter.

I smiled with enthusiasm. Imagining that bastard's man burning in the flames of emotion made my heart beat with anticipation. I'd like to welcome Ace to the door soon. I want to see her mood fall apart.

Cklek!

The sound of the door being opened again made my eyes widen cheerfully. I stood as fast as lightning and with a powerful swing of my hand...

BRAKKKK!

The bowl of soup from the ceramic floated up and hit the head of Ace Hunter who had just stepped in. Surprise was clearly drawn on his face, followed by eyes that flashed full of anger. Oh, what an incredible sight. I laugh.

"Felt!" My shout is triumphant.

Today at least-I feel relieved. My emotions overflowed in place of a proud winning point. I'm proud of my hand that was able to throw that bowl right into Ace's head. Thanks to my experience of being a pitcher in High School, my gym teacher must have shed his eyes on my efforts today.

I looked at Ace with nervousness, and at a glance I saw Felix and Carcel shaking their heads in an inexhaustible manner back there.

Hey, what's wrong? Why is he looking at me like that?

"Leave us alone" Ace's voice ruled over his two men calmly. As soon as Ace made a sound, Felix and Carcel immediately retreated from behind his master.

After the departure of the two insignificant people, Ace wiped the blood on his forehead. He stared at the red color in his hand with a sigh of rage. At the time, I didn't know what Ace was thinking. But looking from his dark facial water, the man gave off a terrifying aura.

It should be good, right? I provoked him, made him angry. He'll probably pull out his gun and shoot me in the head right now.

Come on, do it right away. Shoot me!

"Fawnia," Ace stepped over to me. His eyes were staring right through my soul, extremely terrifying and terrifying.

"Please stop there!" My lips were panicking. Because of the damn handcuffs that still hold my hand on the lip of the bed, I can't escape anywhere. I was confined there while the man with the scent of blood and chicken soup approached. His hand caught my wrist.

"Ace fuck-away! I said stay away!" I couldn't breathe, I was so scared of our close distance. The shadow of what had happened between us again overshadowed my thoughts. Scared me.

"You know, Fawnia. I'm so angry now." The bastard whispered near my face. His hand shackled a free hand over my head while the weight of his weight began to fall on my chest like an anchor holding back my every move.

"Thank you, now I don't need to go to the gym to let go of my tantrums."

"..."

"I have you," he continued.

"Please, don't do this..." Fear has taken over my body. My eyes were flooded by tears while Ace crept his free hand into the black shirt I was wearing.

"Please.., stop...,"

I threw away my face, refusing to look into Ace's darkened eyes by passion. He came back to do what I hate most. His hand that touched me, his lips that swept across the surface of my skin, all his actions made me curse my life at that moment. I bit my lips so hard that blood flowed from there.

I withstood all the effects of his touch, trying to stay sane even though my body felt a foreign reaction from his harsh treatment.

"I hate you!" I scolded her as she paused her actions, looking at me in the face with her demonic grin there. His chest that was not wrapped in clothes showed bruises everywhere. I don't know what happened to this man before, but I won't sympathize at all. Not when he treats me like this.

"Rilex, Firth. You're not the only one who hates me." Ace fused our eyebrows together and I could feel his blood and sweat touching my head.

"I hate myself too."

The thin grin that used to play on his faded face was replaced by a mouthful of bitter smiles. I couldn't believe that the figure I was looking at was Ace. Not because that bitter smile only lasted a fraction of a second. His demon snort again took over that beautiful look.

He looked at me and came back.

His sighs filled the room, clashing with his irregular groans of breath. While he was showering me in a disgusting foreign taste, I looked at him with hatred. The curse I cast in my heart throughout the whole incident.

I wish all the bad things would happen to this bastard.

For God's sake, please, someone, please make Ace Hunter disappear from this earth!
