"Now stop crying...." He said placing a soft kiss on her forehead.

She just closed her eyes and at that moment she felt like the most safest in her whole life.

Y/n's heart started to beat faster and she felt butterflies inside her stomach feeling his warmth. She just closed her eyes tightly because she was confused whether to push him away or let him continue to do what he was doing as she was getting a different kind of feeling by his touch which she never felt before in her entire life with anyone's touch .

He slightly got up from her and looked at her and a chuckle escaped from his mouth watching her tightly closed eyes like a little kid who was afraid of watching the ghost infront of her.

"Open your eyes Doll" He said tenderly.

But Y/n didn't reply instead she just shook her head without opening her eyes.

"Open your eyes" He again said but she again shrugged her head without opening her eyes making him amused by her cute behavior.

He leaned a little closer to her ear and huskily whispered.

"If you didn't open your eyes then I am going to kiss you..."

Y/n immediately opened her eyes hearing his statement. Her eyes widened , her cheeks started to heat up as she looked at him bewildered.

He just chuckled at her behavior.

"Hmm so now why did you open your eyes Doll..?" He said with a smirk ,
caging her between him and the bed.

"Umm...mmm I..I..." Y/n felt nervous at how closer he was , she could feel his breathing on her face and his body heat radiating against her which made her to slightly nibbled on her lower lip as she got very nervous .

He stared at her beautiful eyes and once again his gaze averted downward towards her lips on which she was chewing turning his eyes a little dark suddenly which didn't go unnoticed by her.

So she slightly pushed him away by pressing her palms over his chest and got up from the bed.

She thought that he was going to get angry on her that she pushed him but
he didn't utter a single word to her and just turned around and left her room.

Y/n got stunned by witnessing his behavior that he left her room without saying anything to her which made her befuddled but relaxed.

She sighed and then sat on the bed and started to think that how her whole life changed just in one night until she heard the door to got opened again revealing a woman who was on her 40's with a wide smile on her face.

"Hello Ms. Y/n ..I am Maria ". She said while bowing at her.

" Hello " Y/n replied while getting up from bed.

"Mr V told me to help you "

"Oh...ok, just call me Y/n and no need to bow in front of me" Y/n said with a smile.

"But...."

"No you are older than me so I should be the one bowing not you" Y/n replied bowing at her.

"No no Y/n there is no need for that" Maria said softly patting her head.

"You really have a heart of an angel" She said making Y/n smiled.

"Thank you..."

"So how can I help you Y/n? " Maria asked

"Ummm....I need to take a bath and some clothes..."

"Ok there's your bathroom you can go and get a shower" She said extending her fingers towards a door at the end of the room.

"And there is your cupboard..You'll find your every essential there inside.." Maria said pointing towards another door at the other end of the room.

"Ummm...ok thanks.." Y/n replied.

"Ok so what do you want to eat? "

'' I don't feel like eating anything..."

"Why? You should properly eat your meals Y/n. It's not good for health skipping food ".

Y/n smiled looking at her fake angry expression .

" Ok I am sorry Ajumma, I will eat whatever you'll cook for me" She said weakly smiling.

"Your smile is so beautiful " Maria said patting her hairs softly earning a beam from her again.

"Ok now go and take a bath and then come down stairs ok.." Maria said.

"Ok"

Y/n nodded and then Maria left the room.

Y/n sighed and then went inside the bathroom .

She removed her night gown from her body and put on the shower. The cold water droplets started to fall on her skin ,on her face but soon she felt something hot on her cheeks.

It was her own tears which she didn't even notice when they started falling and mixing with the cold water.

She didn't even realise when her eyes started to form those tears which were now falling from them.

May be in front of her Oppa, she pretended to be ok and strong but she was not ,deep inside she got shattered into million pieces after knowing about everything.

She just broke completely after finding out the biggest and most painful truth of her cruel fate that her whole existence was a lie.

She didn't even know who she was? What her real identity was?

Her both mind and heart couldn't control that pain anymore.
She started to cry harder and harder taking out her pain in the form of her tears.

She cried and cried until there remained no tears left to cry inside her eyes.

After 20 minutes, she came out of the bathroom and went to the wardrobe and to her surprise there were different types of dresses present there .Casual, formal ,party wear, sleep wears and even inner wears too and they all were seemed somehow of her size .

She was shocked seeing all of those things but suddenly her mind stroke with another question.

Who changed her clothes last night?

This question terrified her. Her body started to shiver thinking about that question, but then she thought maybe Maria changed her dress but what if she didn't.

Y/n body froze by thinking about that possibility but suddenly there was a knock on her door which took Y/n's out of her thoughts.

"Are you ready Y/n ?" Maria asked.

"Umm...yeah I am just changing" She replied.

"Ok , come fast I am waiting for you downstairs"

"Ok I will be there in 10 minutes"

"Okay"

With that Maria left .

Y/n shrugged away her terrible thoughts and decided to ask about that to Maria .

All of those outfits were beautiful so
she chooses to wear the most simple and comfortable one among all of them.

After wearing her outfit she just simply combed her hairs and decided to go downstairs.

Y/n slowly started to take her steps outside the room not wanted to meet him and to her luck nobody was there.

She just quickly went downstairs and
her eyes fell on Maria.

She smiled and went towards her.

"You look beautiful dear" Maria said with a smile

"Thankyou ajumma" She replied cutely smiling at her.

"So do you like pancakes? " Maria asked

"Yes "

"Ok sit at the table I will be there in 5 minutes with your pancakes"

" Let me help you? "

"No dear you go and sit there I will be coming with your food"

Y/n nodded and went to sit at the dining table and then after a couple of minutes Maria walked towards her with the pancakes.

"Ajumma can I ask you something.?" Y/n said a little hesitated.

"Yes dear you can ask me anything" She replied while serving her food on the plate.

"Umm actually la...last night who ch...change my clothes? " Y/n said a little stuttering thinking about the worst possible answer.

Maria stopped her work and looked at her and then smiled at her innocent question.

"Well dear no need to worry I changed your clothes last night. " She said with an assuring smile.

Y/n just sighed a breath of relief as a heavy load got lifted up from her chest.

"Thank you "

"No worries dear, ok now eat your pancakes are getting cold"

"Umm......ok" Y/n said and started to eat .

After finishing her food

"The pancakes were really very tasty Ajumma" Y/n said with a wide smile on her face.

"Thank you so much dear" Maria replied while pinching her cheeks softly making her tittered.

"Ok now let's go I will show you the whole mansion" Maria said with a smile.

"Okay " Y/n replied excitedly and started to get up from her sit.

"So first we are going to see the garden ok" Maria said making her more enthusiastic.

"Okay" Y/n replied with an excitement and immediately turned around for walking but got halted when her whole body got suddenly hitted against something hard like a wall.

Y/n's body stumbled making her to lose her balance and she closed her eyes in anticipation but before she could fall on the floor, she felt two strong arms to wrapped around her stopping her from falling.

Y/n opened her eyes and her whole world froze seeing those two most dangerous yet captivating dark eyes again which were staring straight at her doe ones.
