Chapter 239
My face was pale with rage as Colin helped me put on a ck, ninja-like suit that I had only ever seen
on TV. He even tied my hair into one long braid before putting a ck mask over the bottom half of my
face. He seemed to be in a rush—the moment he was done, he grabbed my arm and dragged me
toward the car. He hopped into the seat beside me after he pushed me in.
"Take us back to the base camp," he ordered. The car traveled toward the North. Throughout the long
journey, I overheard them saying that we had crossed the Find borders, and I also heard them say
that the Xenos Family was chasing after them. The sky had turned dark by the time I saw Shawn. I was
sent to the second floor while Shawn was on the ground floor. It looked like a battlefield down there!
Shawn fought like a devil—he wouldn''t stop attacking everyone that came close to him. His expression
remained calm, and his movements were firm even as tens of people tried to attack him all at once. I
kept my gaze fixed on the scene below even though I felt my stomach churning with nausea. On top of
the disgust I felt, I was also worried about Shawn. I would be heartbroken if he was injured.
"This is where Shawn and I grew up," Colin said from his spot in a chair beside me. "This ce is like a
prison cell that we can never escape for the rest of our lives."
I held my breath for a while. "What do you mean when you say that you can''t escape it?"
"Don''t you understand what I mean?" He gave me a sideways nce. "It means that we''ll never be
able to leave this ce! Both Shawn and I will always be stuck here!" Colin said.
Could someone as powerful and morous as Shawn be caught up in such a frustrating situation? "Is
he here by his own will, or…" I asked worriedly.
"He''s here ording to his own will, of course. This is his ce," Colin replied. This is Shawn''s…?
"Does Shawn love you?" Colin asked me out of nowhere. Someone had asked me the same question
just a while ago. "That has got nothing to do with you," I replied with my head hanging low. "We can
attempt an experiment," Colin said.
"What experiment?" I asked icily. Colin turned to look at the men beside him. "Bring her down."
"Should we seal her lips?" his men asked.
"Sure." Colinughed. They then dragged me down to the battlefield. It was then that I realized how I
was dressed in the same clothes as everyone else. I quickly blended in to be one of them.
Swords, fists, and kicks were thrown around blindly, and I felt someone shoving me from the back. I fell
forward andnded directly in front of Shawn. Even though the man in front of me was someone
familiar, I felt as if he was a stranger at that moment.
The usual calm and peaceful look in his eyes had been reced by a violent re. I stumbled
backward when he suddenly sent a kick toward my stomach. I fell on my back for a moment before
someone grabbed me up and pushed me toward Shawn again. This time, he sent a kick directly toward
my head! I felt a loud ringing in my head and all my bones aching. Someone grabbed me up and
pushed me toward him again. I wanted to scream, but my lips had been sealed!

At this rate, I knew that Shawn would hit me to my death. Just as I was about to lose all hope, Shawn
slowed his actions down as he realized that something was wrong. "Let go of her." A miracle happened
at that very moment—everyone around me stopped moving and took a step back! Colin is right! Shawn
is in charge of this ce!
Shawn gradually walked toward me as heid his icy re on my eyes. I blinked in confusion as I
watched his pupils shrink. His hands were trembling as he pulled my mask down. When he saw who I
was, his gaze remained the same. He ordered his people to drag me away when Colin came down
from the second floor. "Do you know that youngdy, Shawn?"
I was in pain. I was in so much pain that I felt like I was about to die! I sprawled on the floor weakly as I
felt my head spinning. "Were you the one who brought her over, Colin?" Shawn asked.
"Alfie heard that you found yourself a woman, and he told me to bring her over for a tour someday.
But… it seems like you don''t know her!" Colin replied.
"Colin, you need to know your limits even if you want to go against me. Don''t you darey hands on—"
Shawn started in a deep voice.
"Hey,y hands on what?" Colin chuckled. "Your baby?" Shawn was silent for a while, and I could feel
myself losing consciousness. At that moment, a rather rough voice came from above me. "Shawn, how
are you rted to this woman?"
"We''re not rted." I heard Shawn speaking in a clear voice. "In that case, I want you to stab her,"
someone else said. My vision was blurry, and I couldn’t tell what was going on. Time seemed to slow
down for a moment as I found myself staring into a man''s cold re. Right after that, I felt someone
stabbing me in the stomach!
I spat out a mouthful of blood, and my spitnded on that person''s body. I couldn''t tell what exactly
happened after that, but I felt someone dragging me away. When I woke up, I found myself in a cell
with a pile of white bones lying next to me. I let out a terrified scream as I felt the pain in my body
increase. Right then, I heard loud footstepsing from outside.
"Hey, is she awake?" This voice… Colin! "Where''s Shawn?" I asked frantically.
"Are you still thinking about him now?" Colin asked.
"Where''s Shawn? I want to see Shawn." Colin seemed puzzled as I insisted on seeing Shawn. "Shawn
just stabbed you in the stomach, and you''re still asking for him?"
I was dazed for a moment. "What did you say?"
"Shawn just stabbed you!" Colin cried.
"I don''t believe you!" I shook my head. I didn''t believe him, but the pain in my stomach was something I
couldn''t ignore. Colin dragged me out of the cell, and I saw Shawn and a foreign old man with a face
full of wrinkles standing near the room. The old man looked extremely stern. "That''s Alfie," Colin said.
"Who is Alfie?" I asked. Colin didn''t answer me, but the man called Alfie spoke instead. "How are you
rted to that girl?"
"I''m not rted in any way to her," Shawn replied. "Colin said that she''s your woman," Alfie responded.
"She''s just a woman," Shawn replied in a calm and emotionless tone.
"Do you love her?" Alfie asked.
"No," Shawn spoke in his usual tone. No… Shawn said he never loved me… So many people had
asked me this question, and I always had a firm answer—that he loved me! But at that moment, he told
those people that he had never loved me. Had my love for him been one-sided all along? "Throw her
out, then," Alfie uttered.
"Why are you crying?" Colin asked me all of a sudden. I wasn''t sure why, but I assumed that it was
because my heart ached. "What is it? Do you think Shawn was lying because Alfie threatened him? If
you don''t believe it, you can ask Shawnter when hees." Colin paused for a moment before he
spoke again. "He''s here."
I looked up to see Shawn walking over with a dark aura surrounding him. I had never seen him looking
that way. "Sunny," I mumbled. My entire body was in a lot of pain, and I wanted to spread my arms
open to ask for a hug. However, I didn''t have the guts to do it at that moment.
He was the one who hit and stabbed me, after all! The man before my eyes… the man I loved… He
was the one who did all of this! He said that I was just a woman. "Renee, we need to talk through some
things," Shawn said.
I pressed my hand against the wound on my stomach as I responded softly, "What do you want to tell
me, Sunny?" Deep down, I still had some hope.
"I don''t want to lose my mother again," he said. I stared at him dazedly. "Are you… breaki
