IN THE CAGE

40. ANGEL FALSEHOOD

...FAWN...

...----------------...

Honestly, I don't hate being in Miss Margot's room. Putting aside the fact that the woman slept like clockwork, I had no other complaints in her room. That pink neon light was also common in my eyes, I was like a vampire in a dark room and it didn't bother me. I also had Vera accompany me chatting every day. She is an adorable woman, I am very easy on her.

If I'm taken prisoner by Miss Margot, I don't think I'd mind it at all. After all, the quality of the food provided by the waiter of this house is the same. Very delicious on the tongue. Oh, most of all, I don't have to deal with Ace anymore. It feels so relieving. I hope this comfort is forever.

Well, at least, I don't have to deal with that psychopath guy. Four days have passed since then.

What's he doing now? I'm being thought.

Ace, despite being the head of the family in this house still shares authority with Margot and her uncle whom I heard was named Jack Hunter. From what Vera said, Ace is very unsuitable with his uncle and often fights. I don't know what their problems are and don't care either, but.., well, I hope she's okay.

No matter how much I curse Ace, the man is already living with another curse called hope and burden. I can't imagine-how could that man survive under the pressure of his family? I might escape to another continent if such a situation were to befall me.

"Good morning," I was just pensively thinking about Ace, a figure not much different from Ace coming. Who else if not Ace-Jemaine Emery's sidekick into Miss Margot's room with Vera.

"Bos Margot will be up for a few more minutes" Vera said. "Uh, Fawn.., if you don't mind, Mr. Jem will wait here."

"No problem" I said.

This is not my room. I have no right to determine who goes in and out of this room.

After answering Vera, I who was still sitting on the bed and leaning on the head of the bed looked towards Jem who was standing indecisive in the middle of the room. The fucker was acting clumsy as if I didn't know the rot.

Even if he wears a piece of all-white clothing from toe to head, I will not be fooled by his blackness. He exuded an even greater ruthlessness than Ace.

"Hi..." After Vera's departure too, Jem sat on a folding bench facing the dressing table. Jem looked at me with a friendly grin imprinted on his face. So irritating.

What is he talking about like a fool?

"I just found out that your ownership has changed hands to Margot" he said again.

"Huh, is that it?" I can't believe he just found out. The man with the mysterious twinkle of an eye made me doubt. As the words that came out of his lips were lies.

"Did something happen between you and Ace?"

"Do I have to answer that question?" I don't want to answer.

"No, no. If it's hard for you to tell, you don't have to say anything. I'm just afraid you know, maybe because of my invitation at the time, your relationship and Ace got messy."

What hypocrisy.

"I thought you'd be relieved" I chimed in with a sigh of boredom that escaped from my mouth. "Isn't this your goal from the beginning?"

I might just be a bodyguard who doesn't even go to the University, but. To attribute one thing to another is not difficult for me. I know when an asshole acts like an angel.

His jem-simple deliberately took me out so that I would be exposed by the Rashid family. Which means, the battle between the Rashid and Hunter families can occur if Miss Indira and Mr. Anggara see me. And even if that doesn't happen, I who've had a peaceful relationship with Ace will again fight because I'll get out of control.

This motherfucker is so good at counting situations, I can't believe Ace made this motherfucker his best friend!

"My destination? Ahaha. I don't know what you're saying, I just wanted to ask you to refresh back then. You've been locked up in this house for a long time and Margot needs some fresh air, too, so I think it's better to get out. Just like that."

"Ooh, how great." I'm gonna clap. "Your concern will make me shed tears. Of course the situation is as you say, right? You're just a good-natured man who wants to help a prisoner of this house breathe fresh air. I wouldn't be surprised if at any time you let me out of here."

"It's sarcastic. Do you know who your opponent is talking to?"

"Do I care who my opponent talks to?" Even if he was the head at Hearts, this man was an accursed man who proposed the idea to Ace to sabotage Miss Indira's marriage. He was the demon of all demons that made me end up trapped here. Who knows what his dark brain is. He might create a terrible scheme inside his black mind.

"You know, you're smart enough for a useless pawn." Jem chuckles. He was still smiling with his false innocence. "I thought the reason Ace kept you here was just that face, but now that I understand you, you have something more interesting than your body."

"You're disgusting." I hate the way this guy looks at me. Someone needs to kick him out before I kick him myself.

Jem grinned bastard. She who had been sitting on the makeup bench, came up to me on the bed. Quickly, I pulled myself back. I don't want to hurt him because he's Miss Margot's best friend, but if this guy starts getting sassy, I won't hesitate to kill him.

"Are you scared?" Jem read my nervousness with his eyes glittering with pleasure. "I thought you were so brave when you spat out your insolent words earlier."

"Huh, I'm not afraid of you." I stepped onto the soft fur carpet. When I stood up, Jem was already standing in front of me. Her free palm was anchored to my neck, suffocating me with a terrifying cold grasp. In just one move, at that moment I could have found death.

"You need to stop talking about your big head, Fawnia. No matter how great your guess is and how right you're at speculating, it won't end well if you leak it to the wrong person." Jem's voice rang softly in my ears. Like a cold sword blade touching the skin, I trembled under his intimidation.

"What are you doing?" I tried to take his wrist off my neck, but it was as solid as wood. He didn't move a inch.

My neck, held in its grip, gulped down with difficulty.

"Take me off..."

"Do you think Ace would be so angry if I touched his toy?"

"I think you forgot one thing.." I forced my face to look at Jem's face.

Before the man could ask what he had forgotten, I gathered my saliva on the tongue and in one jolt, I spat on his arrogant face violently. His grip on my neck instantly slipped away.

Scuih!!!

I grabbed Jem's white shirt collar and pushed him back. "You have to remember this, I'm not anybody's toy," I'm clear. "Before you need to worry about Ace's or anyone's reaction, you better worry about me first, savage!"

Ugh, I want to kill him!
