Yukie considered the offer in silence for a moment. Her pale white eyes stared at me without expression, but I could see something shifting behind that cold gaze—an internal struggle she didn't want to show.
Inside her head, Yukie was thinking fast.
She'd already lost. That was a fact she couldn't avoid. With his time-stopping ability, Adam could do anything to her with no one to stop him. He could rape her, torture her, even kill her, and no one would know. No one could help.
She could die today. Could die without ever knowing the answer to the question that had haunted her for the past two years. Could die with hatred unresolved, with a mystery unsolved.
Or...
Or she could accept this offer. Humble herself. Beg. Give the man what he wanted. And in return, she'd get the answer she'd been searching for all this time.
