" We're here, miss" the driver turned to her as he spoke. When someone opened the door for her, she got off the car dressed like a young, pure white princess.

She looked around and was amazed by
how beautiful the place was. It basically looked like a mini gray mansion in a large garden. Though one thing was strange, she saw no flowering around. Everything was green and fresh but something was off.

Lisa turned her head and skimmed through the whole place once again and she frowned the moment she found what was wrong.

Her brows furrowed with the fact that there were just two colors around, dark green and dark gray. Lisa was mystified but she saw the bodyguard, Mr. Park, approaching her along with an honorable looking old man in his seventies, so she immediately shifted her attention to them.

"Miss, please allow me to introduce this house's butler. This is Mr. Gou. You can ask him for whatever you need.”

Er, so he's a butler? Lisa  wasn't sure how to react so she bowed at him as a sign of respect to the elder and the two men's eyes suddenly widened.

"No, no. Please don't do that, Miss. The precious wife of our young master shouldn't bow to a mere butler like me. The old man looked very apologetic while Lisa  didn't know whether she was supposed to laugh or cry.

"By the way Miss, the young master, I mean, your husband will be here soon.” Mr park told her before he asked the butler to take her on a tour around the house while waiting for the boss.

Lisa still looked calm but for some reason, she felt so nervous the moment she heard her husband was coming. The butler was showing her around but her mind was wandering. She was thinking about a lot of things. She was thinking about her husband. She was thinking why he didn't want her to see his face. She was thinking why his people didn't tell her anything about him, not even his name.

Her mind was filled with questions. When she realized that they were already back to the wide, luxurious yet dull looking, living room where they started a while ago she breathed deep.

"Okay miss, my job is done here. I'm going back------"

"Huh? Where? You're going to leave me here alone?"

“Haha, please don't worry, young miss. The butlers and maids in this house are just meters away from here. You can always call us if you need something. Besides, the young master is almost here, so I need to leave now.

The butler gave her a warm smile and left right away. Lisa  was left alone in the wide, silent and dull living room. She looked around and saw nothing. Not a single photo was hanging on the spacious walls, nor were there flowers on top of the empty tables. After a single glance, Lisa  felt nothing but emptiness in this luxurious, gray house. The sad empty feeling was just too strong that lisa subconsciously hugged herself as she stared at the hanging silver colored chandelier.

"Is it cold?"

A deep voice suddenly echoed inside the house and instantly made lisa's  nerves seem paralyzed for a moment. She didn't know why but she suddenly felt chilled upon hearing his voice.

And then, she heard his faint steps getting closer, causing her to forceherself to turn and face him.

"N-nope... I'm just..." Lisa couldn't continue speaking. She was suddenly tongue tied upon seeing the man in front of her.

M-m-masked?

Her eyes almost bulged out. A tall man in a black tailored suit, which perfectly showed his faultless body shape, was standing in front of her... wearing a black mask covering his upper face. Lisa's mouth slightly opened subconsciously as she stared at him. She couldn't believe that this man, whose whole face she couldn't even see, still looked oh so gorgeous. Even though she could only see half of his face, she just could not stop feeling charmed by his seemingly hidden ethereal beauty. He looked like a mysteriously gorgeous masked prince in a masquerade party intended only for demigods.

"W-who are you?” lisa  forced her stunned self to talk.

"Your husband." The man replied with his same slightly deep and sexy voice. However, his short reply 'your husband’, was enough to cause chaos inside her. Lisa's emotions had gone wild, contradicting one another, that she didn't know what she was feeling at this very moment anymore.

A long pause of silence enveloped the large room where two people - one angel-like and one devil-like - stood motionless as they stared at each other. The masked man was standing with his one hand in his pocket, seemingly observing the angel in front of him.

Lisa, on the other hand, felt like she was a little white mouse waiting for her fated death in the hand of the big dark beast in front of her. She felt like the dark beast was slowly seeing through her deepest soul, as if the gods bestowed on him the power to examine every mortal's deepest secrets.

"Scared?" The man's single word was akin to a firework, startling her all of a sudden but making her heart go wild because of its seemingly magical beauty.

“Huh? No, nope... no... Well yes, I am." Lisa's knees were completely weakened. The presence of the man before her was enough to suck her energy. The man was just too scary that she didn't even dare to lie to him. His mysteriously dark and icy demeanor almost felt like he was... a monster, disguised as a beautiful man.

But right after she said those words, Lisa's eyes widened when the man raised his hand to his nape. Then he sighed as if he expected her to be like that.

"Regretting now?"

"No"

“Wanna go back home?"

"No" Lisa didn't hesitate to answer the man's questions. It was because she felt like the man was testing her and one wrong answer might cost her, her life.

“Scared but still want to stay?".

"Yes"

The man put down his hand back to his pocket. The girl's last answer was enough to convince him that this girl wasn't that bad at all. Her eyes were burning with determination and wild fighting spirit, which was a contrast to how she looked. He could tell in one glance that she wasn't a weakling, that there was something unfathomable within her fragile looking body.

"Good"

The man seemed slightly satisfied as he started removing his suit jacket.

Lisa  quietly breathed in deeply then looked straight at his eyes.

"What's your name?"

"Jungkook"

"Jungkook....."

"Just call me Jungkook," The man's words were firm, indicating that he wouldn't say any more than what he said. His voice was just filled with authority like a heartless ruler from
the ancient world. His words soundee so absolute that lisa couldn't help but wonder what this monster would do to her if she ever went against him.

She was wondering why the hell he was hiding his face and identity this much, to the point of wearing a mask inside his own house, but she knew this wasn't the right time to ask for the reasons yet.

"Uhm... the contract states that I'm not allowed to see your face. But what if I accidentally see you? I mean just in case... yes... accidentally."

“Accident? That won't happen"

Lisa  was speechless. How could this man be so sure? Does he see himself as a god now?

"But...but how about when you sleep? Are you going to sleep wearing your mask?"

Lisa felt like her questions were somewhat stupid and funny but the man didn't reply, rather he quietly slipped his hand in his pocket and took something from it. He lifted his hand in front of her. Lisa  stared at the red cloth in his hand, confused.

"You'll wear this, every time we're in bed."

Lisa's  mouth hung open when she realized what it was. It was a red blindfold.

Wait. What? Seriously?! I'm going to sleep blindfolded from now on? Are you kidding me? This is insane!

Lisa couldn't believe what he said. She didn't know how to react. She was completely out of words. If he was another man, she might already have kicked his precious balls a long time ago for saying such absurd things. But he was him. She knew at first glance that he was nothing compared to all the men she had met before. She knew that he was the meaning of the word 'danger' and his words were nothing but absolute orders.
