<h4>Chapter 371 - Free</h4>


    Anne did not utter any word when n spoke at length, but the look in her eyes showed how much anger and hatred she had for the man sitting in front of her.


    "Ok, you''re done. Since you''re not using IVs anymore, so you have to eat," n said quietly as he straightened the IV line that was dripping with IV fluid after it was forcibly removed from Anne''s hand.


    After sessfully tidying up the IV from the side of the bed, n then rushed to the table to get the food that the maid had previously brought. On a te that was quiterge, n got several types of dishes and rushed to Anne, who was already lying facing the window, her back was facing him.


    n took a deep breath. He tried to be patient with Anne. n slowly ced the te he had just filled with food on the nightstand and sat down by her side next to her shoulder which was not covered by the nket. "Anne, get up... you have to eat, Anne," he said softly, patting her twice on the shoulder..


    There was only silence, there was no response from Anne. There was neither rejection nor panic like earlier from Anne, so that made him panic. He roughly turned Anne''s body, which was tilted to the left, onto her back. n who was ready to open his mouth again was surprised when he saw Anne was already asleep.


    "You''re asleep so fast? Don''t joke, Anne...."


    n couldn''t finish his words when he realized that Anne was really sleeping. He pulled his hand away from Anne''s face. Anne''s breathing rhythm was smoother than before, although there were still a few moans from her. n, who was still sitting beside her, still didn''t take his eyes away from her. The swelling in Anne''s eyes had started to subside, and her face wasn''t as pale as it had been a few moments ago.


    "Beautiful and you won''t be able to run away from me," n hissed unconsciously. Even though he had managed to have Annepletely but there was a great sense of fear in him at the moment. He was still a little disturbed by the few sentences that came out of Anne''s lipsst night when he was trying to bully her. Although it wasn''t very clear, n was still able to hear a string of words out of Anne''s lips even though n couldn''t clearly remember the name of the man she mentioned.


    "I''m pretty surest night she said the name of a man, who was that man? Was that man her lover? What did he look like that she had to call his name when I was by her side? Fuck...! No one can fill Anne''s heart except me, n Knight rke," n said coldly with his jaw clenched. His eyes were gleaming with intense jealousy.


    Without thinking, n took off all his clothes and left only his underwear then went straight into the nket that Anne was using to cover her body. He then grabbed Anne tightly. "You''re mine, Anne, I won''t let you leave me. Even if there''s a next life after this you''ll still be mine."


    Not long after, a soft snoring sound was heard came from n. Initially, he nned to wait for Anne to wake up, but he finally fell asleep. Being that close to Anne made him feel veryfortable, a feeling he had never felt before. There was an extraordinaryfort that n felt when he was with Anne. It was as if he had had a long-standing rtionship with Anne. Even though they had only met a few times.


    Because the rest of the sleeping pills in Anne''s body had disappeared after the infusion was released from her body, Anne slowly woke up when she felt arge hand pressing her stomach which had not been filled since yesterday. Anne almost screamed loudly when she found out that the owner of the hand that was holding her. She then carefully shifted her body from n''s arms. After trying for more than five minutes, Anne was finally free from n''s embrace. Without thinking, she immediately walked towards the door. Even though her whole body was in a lot of pain, but Anne didn''t care about it. All she had in mind right now was to be free from that sleeping evil monster.


    "Hold on, Anne, hold on a little longer. Your freedom is right there, Anne," said Anne in her heart as she stretched out her hand trying to reach the door which was still four steps away from her ce.


    If Anne had been in a better shape, it would not have taken her long to reach the door, but because she was in a weak condition at the moment, the distance seemed far away for her. After struggling with all her might, Anne finally arrived at the door. With thest of her strength, Anne tried to open the locks one by one very carefully so as not to make a sound. She didn''t want to make the man she hated so much to wake up from his sleep, because when her hands were pinched and bleeding a little, Anne couldn''t help but make a sound. She endured all her pain with all her might for the sake of freedom.


    "Thank God," said Anne in her heart when she managed to open the five locks on the door. She was now even more convinced that n was a crazy psychopath. No normal human being had that many keys for the door of a room. After sessfully opening all the keys, Anne carefully pulled the door open so she could get out of the room and hoped that no one was in front of the room.


    Anne was so relieved when she managed to get out of n''s room. She had guessed that n was not a random person. Seeing the magnitude of the ce she was currently in made Anne a little nervous. She was afraid that she wouldn''t be able to escape in time. Being in a superrge house with manyrge spaces really confused her. She didn''t know which way to choose. Everything in front of her seemed like a dangerous thorny path, but due to the great desire to escape from n, she took courage to take a step forward to find a way out.


    Even though she was barefoot, Anne was very careful when she stepped. She didn''t want to make the slightest sound so that no one would know.


    "Staircase, should I go down through this staircase? But what if someone sees me? What if the monster''s men find out? God, what should I do? Please, give me your instructions," said Anne softly with teary eyes again. The mention of n''s name brought back memories of that dreadful night.


    After standing for a long time, Anne finally decided to go down the stairs. Step by step, Anne went through until she finally arrived in the middle of the stairs. Her heart was pounding faster at the sound of footsteps. She froze in ce as two maids passed across the first floor. Her palm was covering her mouth to hold herself so as not to make a sound, her tears were already flooding her face again. Anne suddenly remembered how n had forced his will very harshly, and she did not want it to happen again. That was why at the moment, she prayed to God so that the maids on the first floor did not look up to the stairs, where she was standing.


    "Thank God, thank you..."


    Anne stepped back when the two maids did not notice her presence. Her enthusiasm to be free was even greater. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a rush of energy came, and she was able to walk very quickly towards the door, but was just about to touch the veryrge and heavy door, when suddenly the door opened from the outside and a man''s shoe appeared through the open door.


    "Ahhh...!"
