The idea of Ellah's Father and fiancé being worried was painful to her. She’s certain that Kleve is looking for her now, and she knows he won't stop until she is found. That's how much she cares for the man she'd hoped to spend her life with, but the demon just tore her apart, and she cursed him to die!

She felt better when she saw the phone on the side table! She quickly picked it up, but felt equally frustrated when she realized that the line was actually broken. She wanted to scream but was too worn out to do so.

When her eyes settled on the window, she immediately got out of bed and headed there. She was momentarily taken aback by the red stain on the bedsheet and was overcome with emotion as soon as she realized she had lost her virginity, which she had treasured for so long. She took a deep breath and dashed to the wooden window. The realization that she was on the second floor of the house and the stream she had seen in front of her was just a few meters away caused her to sigh.

The towering falls on the right was sending out a strong flow of water, which she could see. And though she thought swimming in the water would be nice, her current state made her uninterested. She was abducted by a demon who had destroyed her life and taken to a mountain!

An unexpected cold breeze blew in. She hugged herself and went back to bed. What will she do to leave this place? She has to do something, but what should she do? Where does she start? She's not particularly good at it. Her life revolves around her world, which includes school, home, and the family business. As a result, she's having trouble deciding what her first step should be.

When the door is opened and someone enters, Ellah instantly filled with dread and fear when she saw the man. She hugged herself as she pushed herself up against the headboard.

Eat," he said, placing a tray of pancakes and juice on the bed.

She only became hungry after staring at the food. Of course, she didn't eat last night, but she’s not going to eat the food he brought. Nobody knows whether it's poisonous or not. Will he kill her with poison? She will not eat it even if she dies of starvation.

"No!" she exclaimed, wrapping her arms around herself even tighter. The man immediately grinned like a demon when she said that. It looked at her as if she were a timid little creature afraid of being eaten by an eagle.

"All right," he said as he walked towards the door. "Don't eat until you're dying of hunger," he said as he slammed the door shut.

She can't help but cry once more.

CUHEN was astounded by the stunning flowers in the garden of his rest house. This was his perfect sanctuary with his beloved fiancée, Florae. Until his mother and fiancée Florae were murdered by Don Hernandez. He'll never forgive the old man, and he'll seek even more restitution for what he's taken from him. He was not in the Philippines when her mother and fiancee were murdered. Her mother was hit twice in the chest. Meanwhile, three blows to his fiancée's head; whose their wedding was only two weeks away.

Fuck!

He shouldn't have left to begin with for a business meeting. What is all the money worth if the woman he loves is no longer alive? He couldn't blame his mother and Florae for going out to eat that day.

Damn!

Cuhen shut his eyes tightly, fighting back the tears that were on the verge of falling. However, the fact that the powerful agency was unable to identify the killer of the two women who were important to him made him even more furious. He was helped by his friends Herrence and Farhistt, but the killer was so skilled that there was no way to catch it, which only made him more furious. He therefore decided to pursue the truth on his own terms.

He served in the Army before becoming one of the most successful businessmen, amassing billions of dollars. When he met Florae six years ago, he left the military and went into business. He'd rather have a family with Florae than serve in the military without her. He got a small lead from his investigation, and it was enough to prove that no one else but Don Hernandez was responsible for the death of the important person in his life.

It's time for pay back! When he discovered who the culprit was, he waited for Mr. Hernandez at his mansion. When Mr. Hernandez daughter appeared from behind him, he had the gun loaded and ready to murder the old man.

The woman embraced and kissed the old man on the cheek. His original plan to kill the murderer was derailed when he had an idea to murder his only daughter instead. The old man wants to play game with him, but now he'll play fairly, just like Don Hernandez did to him, he grinned.

ELLAH opened her eyes. She hadn't even realized she'd fallen asleep crying. She looked down at her clothes, relieved to see that she still had clothes on. She grabbed her stomach. She was starving, and it was as if time had betrayed her because she could smell the delicious cooked food from where she was. Her stomach was churning from hunger.

Later, the door suddenly opened, revealing the person she had been cursing on her mind. The aroma of the food on another tray he was carrying was mouthwatering.

"Eat," he suggested.

His voice... It felt good to listen to, but she quickly dismissed that thought. She can't even look this man’s face since this morning!

"I w-wont! What if you put poison in it that will kill me right away?" She squeezed the side of the bed again, but the truth was that she really wanted to eat it.

"Don't worry, sweetheart. I'm not going to kill you right away. First, I'm going to show your stupid father how to lose someone important in his life."

She took a deep breath as he said it. He'll never be able to win her over. She'll do anything to escape this hellhole! God alone will determine what she does.

She raised her head and glared at him angrily. He appeared unbothered with his bored expression. Sitting on the edge of her bed, he set the tray down on the mattress. She seen it on TV, on internet, and social media many times because of his wealth. The billionaire Cuhen Malcogn is the person standing in front of him. Cuhen Malcogn turned down her father's offer to make a business deal when their company was about to fail as a result of a number of problems, and instead offered to buy it. Her parents had been working on it for a long time, despite the fact that they were not as wealthy as the young man. Her father did not sell it, and their business gradually recovered with the assistance of Kleve Vergan.

Business tycoon Mr. Cuhen Malcogn is like an eagle in the business world. All that he desires is his; he has no fear or mercy when it comes to the world of money and business, which is why he is so wealthy today. He overthrows those who disagree with him and crushes those who betray his trust. She knew that his mother and his doctor's fiancee had passed away recently.

Her attention was no longer drawn to what was going on around her. Her heart swelled with anger, and the fear she had felt dissipated. She leapt onto the bed and smacked him across the face. He's so narcissistic!

"You're a complete idiot, Mr. Malcogn! Do you believe my father murdered them? It is obvious that my father is not to blame in this situation! You've gone insane. You'll die. You'll die, demon!"

The slap she delivered did not jolt him, but it did darken his features. She was terrified again. She stepped back and resumed her previous position. She had forgotten that the man in front of her was a lunatic who was feared by all. He could have killed her right now, which terrified her even more.

"Now that you know who I am, eat!”

She screamed back at him when he yelled at her. Fear almost caused her to pass out. She shook her head. “I’m not going to!”

And what he did next caught her off guard. Cuhen Malcogn threw the tray, and the food scattered. His face is dark and irritable, as if he is upset. Her tears started flowing again. No!

"Damn you, lady!" he yelled as he stormed out.

If the door hadn't been solidly built, it would have given up for a long time because he would close the door loudly every time he left. But no matter how hard she tried to think of a first step if she could still escape, she couldn't come up with one. Her stomach was churning and she was hungry. She was sorry for the spilled food, but she’s simply cautious. She didn't want to die with her mouth foaming with poison and be thrown into the forest.

Her gaze was drawn to the window. She'd been staring at it for a while when an idea struck her. She examined the blanket and the two curtains hung on the wall. Right! This is what she'll use to defeat the demon in human form while she still has time. She'd rather die in the woods than be killed by him. She’s hoping to find a way out of this forest.

She grabbed the curtain and blanket and tied the ends together quickly. She dashed to the window and tied the end of the rope to the wooden pillar that separated the window. Ellah's mind had already wandered to another idea, so she stopped checking to see if it had reached the bottom. She doesn't have much time, and right now, leaving is all she can think about. She didn't make a sound as she dashed to the back of the door when she heard the man's footsteps. She holds her breath for a moment, trying not to make a sound She bit her lower lip. She must escape alive!

She smirked and dashed to the window as soon as she heard him curse in the air and ran outside. She bolted out the door. Before she could congratulate herself on the brilliant scheme she had hatched, she hurried to the window and peered inside. From her vantage point, she saw the man enter the forest on the left, where there was no water flowing.

This is her one and only opportunity to escape. She didn't waste any time and quickly left the room. Ellah was ecstatic because the door to the living room was unlocked and only slightly ajar. She ran to the right side of the woods because she couldn't think any longer. During those times, she ran and walked.

She was running, oblivious to the pain in her foot, which seemed to be numbing now. Her one foot clung to the jutting roots and she stumbled. She couldn't remember how many scars and wounds she had on her knee, leg, and arm, but it’s okay. She needs to run away as far as she could!

God!

Long runs weren't her thing, but she had to leave this place right away

No!

The sky was about to turn dark. She is afraid of the dark. She blinked her eyes, panicked and unsure of her surroundings. She could only see tall, towering trees. She grows more and more resentful of the forest as the chirping of nearby birds and the noise of insects and her heartbeat increase!

She hates it! But it's better than being brutally murdered by a man named Cuhen.

“Ouch!” She screamed as a sharp stone pierced her foot. Her eyes were bloodshot from trying not to cry despite the fact that she could see the blood flowing. She shut her eyes and sat through the pain for a moment. She must control herself because if she keeps crying, nothing good will ever happen to her. She was startled, however, when she later caught a glimpse of the large, black wild boar from a distance. When it saw her, it suddenly stopped shoving against the ground and turned its hungry eyes toward her.

She doesn't want to be the dinner for the wild pig! Despite the pain in her foot, she stood up quickly and walk. But she looks like she was giving the boar a reason to follow her. She stopped and stoned it.

"Go away!"

She was terrified when she realized the wild pig would attack her rather than run away. Despite the pain in her foot, she runs. She was startled to hear gunshots in the distance. She turned around and saw the dead boar in front of her.

"Ellah!"
