Fallen Right Into Your Trap
Episode 3
I'm here sitting on my bed, thinking about what may happen. I know that the Volkovs are already downstairs, waiting.
I can't bring myself to go down, I'm... Scared?
Julius Hawthorne | MC's dad
Alexander❄️
Julius Hawthorne | MC's dad
Don't keep the guests waiting, hurry up and go down.
Alexander Hawthorne | MC
...
After hearing my father's voice, I hurriedly went to the bathroom and rinsed my face. Trying to not make it obvious that I've cried myself to sleep last night.
After that, I went downstairs to see the Volkovs already there. Even if they're just sitting, they look so intimidating... They're unreadable
Julius Hawthorne | MC's dad
My apologies for the wait, this is my son. Alexander Hawthorne
Alexander Hawthorne | MC
Hello... {bowed lightly}
Malcolm Volkov | ML's dad
hm... have a seat so we can start talking
Alexander Hawthorne | MC
{nods}
Alexander sat down at the couch, opposite to the Volkovs. There, a man who appears to be already staring at him since he came down.
Alexander Hawthorne | MC
...
Julius Hawthorne | MC's dad
Alexander, this will soon be your in-laws.
Julius Hawthorne | MC's dad
Mr. Malcolm and Madam Shain-
Shaine Volkov | ML's papa
It's also mister.
Shaine Volkov | ML's papa
Mr. Shaine
Shaine Volkov | ML's papa
I'm a man, Mr. Hawthorne
Julius Hawthorne | MC's dad
...
Alexander Hawthorne | MC
(huh..?)
Shaine Volkov | ML's papa
{looked at Alexander} I suppose you already know why we are here
Alexander Hawthorne | MC
Oh- y-yes
Shaine Volkov | ML's papa
{smiles} don't be nervous honey, we don't bite
Malcolm Volkov | ML's dad
{looked grumpy at Shaine} (honey? I'm your honey)
Shaine Volkov | ML's papa
{nudges Malcolm with his shoulder} ehem
Shaine Volkov | ML's papa
This is my youngest son, Mikhael
Alexander Hawthorne | MC
{looked at Mikhael} ...
Alexander Hawthorne | MC
(he looks like he's just in his 20s..?)
He had noticed that Mikhael has just been staring at him for a long time. He looked unreadable, it's almost impossible to tell what's going on in his mind.
Alexander started overthinking, what if he's already planning how to end this stupid arranged marriage—or thinking of ways to make him suffer?
Julius Hawthorne | MC's dad
(He's the youngest son? I thought it was Dimitri)
Julius Hawthorne | MC's dad
(If he's the youngest, why does he handle the company instead of the eldest)
Julius Hawthorne | MC's dad
(My son finally hit big-time huh)
They've talked about the marriage, throughout the whole talk Alexander looked uncomfortable. Even though he knows his capabilities, but his target is THE Mikhael Molkov
He had heard a bunch of rumors about him, how he could sense everything that is plotted against him. What if he already knows what is Alexander's goal?
Would he also skin Alexander alive? Or make accessories out of his body parts—perhaps use his head as a candy basket for Halloween?
Those thoughts made Alexander's skin crawl, but only if he knew that it was far more than he imagined.
Shaine Volkov | ML's papa
Alexander?
Alexander Hawthorne | MC
{flinch} o-oh, yes?
Shaine Volkov | ML's papa
{chuckles} are you usually this timid?
Shaine Volkov | ML's papa
As I was saying, starting tomorrow you'll have to live in Mikhael's mansion.
Shaine Volkov | ML's papa
We will be giving you 2 more months to get to know each other, before the wedding
Alexander Hawthorne | MC
(get to know each other?) {looked at Mikhael}
Mikhael Volkov | ML
{still staring at Alexander}
Alexander Hawthorne | MC
(Perhaps you're just giving him a chance to plot my doom)
