Bossy CEO and His Cute Wife novel Chapter 1

The stars silently twinkled in the still night sky.

Euralia Ou's eyelids slowly fluttered open. "Are you awake?"

A low and deep voice sounded beside her ear. Her heart started to race in fear.

The bed she was sleeping on was different. 'W...where am I? Why am I not at home?'

Looking around, she saw a tall man sitting in the shadows not far away. In the darkness of the night, she could not see his face clearly. Slowly, Euralia Ou propped herself to a sitting position, keeping her eyes locked on the strange man.

It was so quiet in the room that she couldn't tell whether all of this was a dream or reality.

"Who are you?

Where am I?"

The man stood up slowly. His tall figure walked out of the shadow. As he passed by the window, the soft moonlight fell on him. A silver mask was on his face, making him look like ghost.

"Wait! Don't come any closer..." Euralia Ou cried out as she moved farther away from him.

But the man kept moving towards her, his silver mask reflecting the cold light. Slowly, he approached her with an outstretched arm, a threatening atmosphere surrounding his presence.

"Don't be afraid..."

the man hushed. With a gentle hand, he stroked her hair. "I won't hurt you, as long as you do what I say." Euralia Ou flinched.

Although his voice was as soft as butter, Euralia Ou couldn't help but tremble.

She looked away, not daring to look into the eyes of the man behind the mask. With tears in her eyes, she looked around to see if there was a way for her to escape.

Little by little, her eyes adapted to the dim light. To her surprise, she was not in a bedroom. It seemed to be a broken warehouse. Abandoned machineries were scattered all around, thick with dust.

'I've been kidnapped!'

Euralia Ou thought. Her heart was beating so loudly that she could hear it in her ear. She looked over to the man, who now became even more terrifying.
