Sarah woke up, rubbing her eyes. There were no noticeable marks on her body because Ryan, being new to all this, didn''t know any fancy tricks. She sat there, dazed for a few moments, before getting up, her face a confusing mix of pale and flushed.


    Seeing her reaction, Ryan immediately assumed he had acted recklessly the night before. It was his first time being intimate with someone, and he waspletely at a loss for what to do next.


    Suddenly, Sarah dropped to her knees. "Mr. ke, if you don''t want me around anymore, I''ll just disappear from your life starting today."


    Ryan had been feeling really lonelytely, missing ra desperately. He ached for her presence, but she hadn''t even called, leaving him feeling lost and hurt. Sarah''s presence was like a fresh breeze, soothing his pain a little. But he never meant for things to go this far, and panic quickly surged through him.


    Right then, he really wanted to call ra, to ask her what he should do. But there was Sarah, kneeling in front of him, bowing her head over and over.


    "Mr. ke, can we keep this between us for now? I don''t want ra to think I''m that kind of woman."


    Ryan felt like his head might explode. Seeing Sarah looking so pitiful, with her forehead bruised and bleeding, he couldn''t help but feel guilty. There''s something about a man''s first woman that makes him feel extra protective.


    He took a deep breath and rubbed his temples. "I need a minute to think."


    Sarah wiped away her tears and said, "Alright, I''ll leave now."


    She tried to stand but stumbled, almost falling. Ryan quickly caught her, worry shing across his face.


    "Are you okay?" he asked, concerned he might have hurt her somehow, especially after noticing the stark red on the sheets. It was her first time too.


    Sarah looked pale as she slowly shook her head. "I''m fine, just a little dizzy." Ryan filled a cup with hot water and brought it to her lips. "Here, drink some water."


    Sarah looked touched. "Thank you."


    Ryan was restless, torn between the fear of ra finding out and the fear of never seeing her again. They sat there in silence for an hour until Sarah finally stood up and left.


    As she walked away, she hoped things would work out, gently touching her stomach, wishing for a child from this one encounter. Meanwhile, Ryan was left feeling anxious and uneasy.


    He banged on the window, trying to get the attention of his guards, his palms turning red from the effort until they finally responded.


    "Mr. ke, is there something you need?" one of them asked.


    Ryan felt a painful lump in his throat, his eyes red with emotion. "Has ra contacted you?"


    The guard sighed, "Ms. ra wille to take you back on your twentieth birthday."


    Ryan bit his lip, crouching down, feeling helpless. "But I need to see her now. I have something really important to tell her."


    "Mr. ke, you need to learn to stand on your own, not rely on others all the time."


    Ryan knew he''d messed things up, again. He had a bad feeling that Sarah would be a big problem, but how did things get so out of controlst night?


    His eyes were red and puffy as he pleaded, "Tell her I''ll change. I''ll change everything. I won''t touch that stuff anymore. If not, I''d rather die. Can she juste and see me, just once?"


    He needed to know he hadn''t been abandoned.
