When Lily wakes up, she finds she is in a huge bedroom. After opening her eyes, she is greeted by a
luxurious crystal chandelier hanging above her. There is no light in the room, only moonlight coming
from the window.
She tries to move her body. She doesn't feel anything unusual, except the pain caused by the hit from
her neck.
Lily carefully sits up from the bed. In a daze, she hears a clear male voice coming from the darkness.
"You're awake."
Just as Lily is about to get out of bed, the sound reminds her of what happened before she fainted.
In the private room, the man is holding a sharp knife against her, and blood oozes out...
Lily abruptly turns around, finding that there is a man on the sofa not far away. She narrows her eyes
and looks carefully. He is indeed that foreign man.
Hawk stands up from the sofa, as if he has been waiting for a long time. He moves his neck, turns
around and walks to the wall behind him. Then he raises his hand and presses down the switch.
With a clear sound, the room becomes bright. Lily shields her eyes against the dazzling light. Being
afraid that he will do something, she hurriedly moves her hand away.
There is a sofa, a table, and a bed in the room. The floor is covered with high-grade cashmere carpets.
It appears to be indescribably strange that the emptiness and luxury coexist.
Seeing him walking towards her, Lily gets out of bed in a hurry and stands still. She doesn't have time
to put on the shoes, so she retreats to the windowsill barefoot. "Don't come over!"
How will Hawk listen to her? He keeps walking straight and then stops less than two meters away from
Lily. He looks at her mischievously. "Do you want to jump down?"
Lily's face is pale as she stares at Hawk's incomparably handsome face. "I would rather jump down
than stay in the same room with you!"
"Alright, please go ahead." Hawk puts on a dismissive smile. He takes a few more steps forward, ready
to catch her.
Lily panics. She grits her teeth and turns around. As she intends to climb onto the windowsill, she is
astonished at the sight of the garden full of flowers outside the window, red alternating with white and
purple.
"Why aren't you jumping?" Having come over, Hawk follows her sight. "I buried a lot of things
underground. You may hit one if you are lucky. Even if you don't fall to your death, you will die from the
force of the explosion."
Lily is shocked by the scene. Even at night, she can feel the terrifying aura of the garden. They are not
ordinary flowers, but poppies.
Ever since she runs a florist, she has studied varieties of flowers. She once unintentionally searched
poppies. However, she only looks them on the picture, and she has never seen them in real life. As
such a large number of poppies are swaying with the night breeze right in front of her, Lily thinks they
are scary rather than beautiful.
To Lily's surprise, this man owns so many illegal poppies. Who exactly is he?
Noticing that Lily gradually stiffens, Hawk suddenly pulls her into his arms while she is absent-minded.
As Hawk leans against her back, Lily uneasily twists her body. "Let go of me!"
Hawk is 1.88 meters tall. It's easy for him to control Lily, who is more than 20 centimeters shorter than
him. "Don't move. If you excite me, you will be suffering."
"Oden, what are you going to do?" As he breathes by her ear, Lily feels disgusted, as if she were
wrapped in a poisonous snake.
"I'm not Oden. This stupid name doesn't suit me." Unsatisfied with this address, Hawk tightens his
arms, and Lily feels suffocated.
It hurts....
Checking her disgust for being hugged, she stares at the reflection on the window in front of her. "Who
exactly are you??"
"It looks like your husband hasn't told you much." Hawk bends down and rubs his chin against the top
of her head. "But it doesn't matter. I'll teach him a big lesson."
Lily is repelled by his touch. Hearing Hawk's warning, she has an ominous premonition. "What are you
going to do to Rex?"
"I want him to taste the feeling of losing something he cares about. It will definitely be very interesting."
Hawk spares one hand to pinch her cheeks hard, immediately leaving red marks. "You have to stay
here obediently so that the game will be fun. Do you know?"
Lily meets his brown eyes, which are full of brutality without any phony kindness. She is well convinced
that Hawk will kill her, for he appears to be overwhelmed by bloodlust. He is cold-blooded, like an
emotionless crocodile.
Lily knows that she has to be calm, and she must not anger Hawk. The consequences of pissing him
off are something that she absolutely cannot afford.
Hawk intends to threaten Rex by using Lily. It is not an urgent plan, but more like an interesting gamble.
He wants to torture Rex, because he hates Rex for being arrogant.
Therefore, for the time being, there is no need for him to kill Lily. It is hard for Lily to escape. She
cannot even walk out of the garden around the villa. Although she does not know if there are
explosives underground, she will die if she takes the wrong step.
Lily needs to find a way to stall this man so as to leave here.
Thinking of this, Lily calms down slightly. "Do you think you can use me to threaten Rex?"
She takes a deep breath and shakes her head mockingly. "No, nothing can ever threaten Rex."
"He has risked his life for you for several times." Hawk treats Lily's words as nonsense. He investigated
the relationship between Lily and Rex before he kidnapped Lily. More than once, Rex risked his life for
Lily.
Rex cares more about Lily than himself. Thus, Lily is of course Rex's Achilles heel.
"You're wrong." Lily is so confident that she almost fools herself. "He saved me just to benefit himself.
He's a businessman. If it's not profitable, he won't care about my life and hurt himself."
"Do you think I'll believe you?" Hawk isn't a fool. He kidnaps Lily, and he has made a list of things he
will do. He won't change his plan just because of Lily.
"Believe it or not, I just want to tell you that it is useless to kidnap me."
"Then we can bet on this." Hawk loves all the bad things, including gambling. "If I lose, I'll let you go. If
you lose...."
He then pauses, thinking about something. Lily's heart is beating fast, but she doesn't say anything,
waiting for him to continue.
Suddenly, Hawk loosens his grip on Lily's arms. After turning her over to face him, he examines her
body carefully and finally fixes his eyes at her left chest. He then pokes it twice with his index finger.
Lily forces herself not to push him away.
"I want you to be my girlfriend."
