As the gate in front of them opened, Han Minhyun and Lee Soohyun walked into the compound surrounding the mansion. Dry leaves were on the ground beneath her, and tall trees were present in both sides of hers.

A full moon peeked through the clouds in the sky, and the dim lighting around her was enough for Soohyun to make an outline of the things. Subconsciously, Lee Soohyun moved closer to Han Minhyun, and both of their arms were touching.

"Hubby, aren"t you rich? Then, why does this mansion look so isolated and, uhm, unneat?" Soohyun questioned— finding it hard to use proper words to describe the state of the mansion without potentially offending or angering Han Minhyun.

Before Han Minhyun could give an answer to Lee Soohyun, Soohyun stepped on a twig. The twig snapped, producing a noise. Hearing that, Lee Soohyun jumped and held tightly on to Minhyun"s hand. Hiding her face into Minhyun"s shoulder, Soohyun s.h.i.+vered.

In reality, Soohyun was not as frightened as she pretended to be at this moment. Although she was slightly terrified after hearing the sound, it was not enough for her to hide her face in Minhyun"s shoulder or s.h.i.+ver.

Nonetheless, Soohyun decided to act as a delicate girl and hug tightly on to Han Minhyun in order to raise his protective instincts. Han Minhyun started to talk to her more than before, and this must be because her methods were working even though it was slow.

Looking at the girl holding on to her arm, Minhyun wore on a bored expression. If he knew that she was going to be this much of a ha.s.sle, he would have left her behind in the car.

Raising his hand, he pushed her head back and spoke out, "Keep your distance from me."

Tears glistened at the corner of her eyes whilst Soohyun looked up at Han Minhyun and spoke out, "Hubby, I"m scared though to the point I think I"ll get a heart attack. Didn"t you say that it will bring trouble to you if I die?"

"Good job! Soohyun, you"ll probably get called extremely weak after this but at least you"ll be able to go back home. Right? He attacked your pride already too many times before and one more time won"t matter."

"Moon Jiwoo, I"m here for a serious matter," Minhyun spoke out, and that was enough to quieten Soohyun up. 

If he was here for an important matter, then what she was doing would be considered annoying, immature, and impolite; Lee Soohyun was aware of that. Therefore, she released herself from him. Standing beside him properly, she treated him like her boss and acted how she was around her boss.

Looking at the calm faced Jiwoo beside him, Minhyun noticed the traces of fear in her eyes. Glad that she had quit with her acts, Minhyun opened the door to the mansion. If he had known that this method would be this effective, he would"ve used it much earlier. At least Moon Jiwoo knew how to differentiate between serious and light-hearted situations.

As Minhyun walked into the large mansion, Lee Soohyun followed behind him. Surprisingly, everything inside the mansion was neat and well arranged. The light in the mansion was not that bright. Nonetheless, Lee Soohyun could clearly see everything around her.

A large chandelier hung from the ceiling, and it was the only source of light. The room in front of her had light peach coloured walls, and the floor had white marble tiles all over it. Everything inside the mansion was kept simplistic and elegant.

A butler walked towards Han Minhyun, and with a courteous smile on his face, he bowed at Minhyun respectfully. After that, he faced Lee Soohyun and bowed at her. 

"Welcome, Master and Mistress," The butler spoke out.

"Where are the doc.u.ments?" Han Minhyun asked in a nonchalant tone. 

Lee Soohyun found herself s.h.i.+vering to the cold breeze, and her hands were beginning to freeze. Her thin coat did very little to protect her from the cold, and inserting her hands into the pocket, Soohyun hoped that this would be over soon. 

Knowing that Minhyun was here for something important, Soohyun did not dare to voice out anything to him. Hearing her teeth chattering, Han Minhyun turned back, and noticing that, Soohyun placed a smile on her face.

"Master, I"ll take you there," The butler spoke out.

Facing the butler, Minhyun replied, "Okay."

Minhyun walked further into the mansion, and standing at the door of the mansion, Soohyun was not sure about whether or not to follow Minhyun. 

"Do you want to freeze?" Minhyun asked without turning back.

Knowing that Minhyun was saying that to her, Lee Soohyun shook her head immediately and walked further into the mansion. A genuine smile sat on her face. The butler closed the door behind them.

Han Minhyun turned back and spoke out, "Stand here, and don"t go anywhere despite of anything no matter how much serious it sounds."

Lee Soohyun nodded obediently. After all, following orders was not something Soohyun was bad at.

"Follow me, Master," The butler said whilst stepped towards the left of the mansion. After a last glance at Lee Soohyun, Han Minhyun walked behind the butler.

Although it was much warmer inside the mansion, Soohyun still felt cold. Stepping further into the room, Soohyun looked for a place to sit at. Her legs were starting to ache by now.

Nonetheless, remembering Han Minhyun"s words Soohyun made sure to not go much further into the mansion. To her dismay, Soohyun could not find anywhere to sit at.

Standing in the middle of the large mansion, Soohyun felt a certain type of fright build up within. She wondered about how that butler managed to live in such a mansion alone? 

Hearing a scream, Soohyun turned her direction towards the voice, and judging from the tone of the voice, it sounded like a little kid. At that moment, Soohyun felt a chill go down her back.

After few seconds, Soohyun heard the same scream again.

"Was there a ghost here? A kid won"t be here at such a creepy unless…Could it be that Han Minhyun abducts kids?"

Lee Soohyun"s eyes widened at the thought. Although Han Minhyun had involvement with the mafia and such matters, she did not expect him to abduct kids.

"Is Han Minhyun involved in child trafficking?"

Lee Soohyun shook her head and mumbled, "Calm down, Soohyun. Don"t a.s.sume things so fast. The kid could be the butler"s grandson or even his son."

"Is there anyone? I need help! Please, I really need help."
