Chapter 72 - You have already chosen me (1/2)

He runs his fingers into her white hair soaked in Bo Ji Won's blood. ”Why do you dye your hair white? Are you pretending to be a white magnolia flower?”

When she doesn't answer him, he chuckles quietly. She's resigning herself to fate. She would rather accept death.

”I understand, my dear Hana. You were acting on your mother's instinct.” He traces the cesarian scar on her lower belly with his gloved hand. ”You are still acting on your mother's instinct.”

He pulls her legs apart and examines her inner thɨġh. Ji Won's blood is cold now. She doesn't answer him. She watches him unzips himself. He thrusts his enlarged ċȯċk. He doesn't hold back. She gasps in pain because of the sudden ȧssault.

”I am happy to see that you are acting honestly. You have no will to live. You would rather die than give in to your darkness.”

He pulverizes her insides, making it painful in every way possible. Tears form in her eyes. ”Hana, do you think that I don't know where our daughter is?”

Her eyes react to his words with shock. ”Why?” She screams at him. ”How do you know that?”

”I knew from the start. saw you running away that night. I knew where you were going.” He ȧssails deeper into her as he laughs heartily. ”I watched you change clothes in the alley. I saw you board the ship. I knew where you were hiding all this time.”

She tries to grab for his mask. He grasps her wrists and pins them on the floor. ”Hana, my dear, you can't escape from me. I didn't come to you because I knew that you would come back. I knew that you couldn't live hiding from me. You want me too. You know that nobody loves you more than I do.”

”Don't hurt her,” She beseeches him frantically.

”Ha-Neul has your eyes.” His voice is darkly alluring. ”When I held her, she smiled at me. She recognized me as her father.”

”No, you aren't her father.” Her helpless sobs fill the cold room. ”Her name is not Ha-Neul.”

”You didn't give her any name.” He is satisfied to see her like this. All hope is not lost. His Hana is not completely gone. He won't kill her yet. She will give in. If she didn't have any hope, she would have named the child differently. She wouldn't have come back to him.

”Close your eyes.”
