who dared to cross him.
“Playing dumb? Fine, let’s see how long you can keep it up. Sebastian,
take her to Earl’s room.”
Earl? Was Alexander’s punishment to
offer her to someone else?
Confused, Isabella looked at
Sebastian, who couldn’t hide a flicker of sympathy as he led her to a room at the end of a hallway. Inside, she was greeted by a surprising sight: a large, black figure lounging in the corner. It was an adult black panther!
Alexander, the madman, had a black panther as a pet!
Sebastian pushed her inside and locked the door, leaving her with a look that said, “Good luck.” Now, Isabella realized ‘Earl‘ was the name of the panther staring indifferently at

her.
The panther, seemingly uninterested and recently fed, made no move towards her. Its glossy coat and
muscular build indicated a life of
luxury, rivaling a five–star hotel’s
accommodations.
Isabella was certain there were
hidden cameras in the room.
Alexander, that sadist, was probably

Retreating cautiously, she reached

Isabella seemed smarter than her
predecessors, sitting quietly, her face set with determination as though bracing herself for a high–stakes
gamble–a gamble with her very life
on the line.
“Boss, if she makes it through this, will you let her go?”
Sebastian’s question, asked with a
cautious tone, reflected his interest
in the outcome for Isabella. Unlike
the others who had tried to get close to their boss, Isabella didn’t seem as objectionable to him. She appeared special, even though it was their first
