Chapter 614
“I‘m hungry!” Sophia felt a growl in her stomach.
She left her room and looked at the decorations on the walls as she walked down the hall. This place used to be a
bar. The bar‘s decor had a somber atmosphere that mingled with the gloomy lighting to produce an odd and
unsettling ambiance. As she was a bit scared, she walked slowly toward the stairs.
Sophia made her way down the spiral staircase; she saw that the whole space was brightly lit. A man, who sat
elegantly amidst the lights, seemed to be passing the time by drinking wine.
She was mesmerized by his refined stature and felt captivated by his sophisticated elegance.
His black satin suit had golden embroidery and it sparkled like diamonds while the gentle light enhanced his charm
and charisma.
Ild
Sophia‘s heart sank because she realized how difficult it would be to win over this man‘s affections.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe let out a long, deep breath. If she doesn‘t return the pendant after a year, she may have to pay the price with
her life. So, she decided to just go with the flow for the time being.
Sophia approached Arthur while smiling. “Have you guys eaten? Want to eat together?”
He gave her a passing look. “Without my consent, you are not permitted to leave here.”
“But I‘m starving.” She blinked.
“From now on, you must do what I say.” He was determined to make her suffer.
Sophia was stunned for a moment and felt helpless. Even though she knew it was almost impossible for Arthur to
fall in love with her, she decided to try anyway.
She had no other options left. Her bestie told her that she had searched the hotel room thoroughly, but the pendant
was still nowhere to be found.
“Fine. I‘ll listen. I won‘t eat.” As soon as she sat down, her stomach started to grumble.
Sophia, who was blushing, instinctively covered her stomach while staring at the man.
The man‘s eyebrow, which was really attractive, furrowed into a scowl at her.
In spite of this, her stomach continued to grumble and she was determined to follow Arthur‘s orders. After letting
out a sigh, she began talking to herself or rather, to her stomach. “Quiet down, please! Mr. Weiss said that I am not
allowed to eat any food! Let‘s wait and see. He might show mercy at some point.”
The bodyguards beside them were holding back their laughter.
“Tell your stomach that food is off–limits tonight,” Arthur remarked, not amused.
“You’ll lose a servant if I suffer from starvation.” Sophia gave a serious answer.
It‘s not like I just have one maid.”
“So, you‘ve decided to give up on the pendant now, right? The only one who knows where it is now is myself. You‘re
going to starve me? Really?” She was trying to save herself by uttering such words.
A lack of compassion was obvious on Arthur‘s face.
“I haven‘t eaten anything since getting on the plane. In fact, I‘ve gone two days without eating.” Sophia continued
her talk.
Arthur looked directly into her pitiful eyes as if he had found something entertaining: “Then, you might as well try to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmgo without food for three days as a challenge.”
Beautiful men are born sadistic, Sophia screamed inside her heart. This is absolutely true.
“Can I drink water then?”
“I just have wine here.” He was clearly teasing her.
She was really thirsty, so she nodded and then said, “Can I have a glass, please?”
He poured her a glass of wine.

She reached for the glass and gave it a lick, just like a puppy, to have a taste of what was within. The sweetness of
it caused her to continue drinking it all at once, drawing the attention of the man who stared at her with narrowed
eyes.
She hiccupped and her cheeks were rosy from drinking.
“Would you like some more?” Arthur smirked.
She shook her hand. “No, it‘s not very tasty.”
The bodyguard was taken aback by her answer. It‘s a fine wine that costs 50,000, yet she says it‘s not tasty? What a
waste.
Sophia stood up right away and felt the sky was spinning in front of her. She was tumbling toward Arthur; she was
not sure if it was because she was too hungry or due to her consumption of alcohol.
