Chapter 5 - CHAPTER 5

Raisa chose to remain silent and obey Damian. Because she understood that Damian had bought her.

"Sa..." Damian called out while they were having dinner.

"Yes?" Raisa replied curtly.

"Why are you so quiet? It's unusual!" Damian asked, strangely.

"Oh no, I'm fine!" Raisa replied with a sweet smile.

"If there's a problem, tell me. Maybe I can help," Damian said.

"No, it's safe!" Raisa chuckled.

"Okay, if you don't want to tell me yet,"

"But there's one thing I want to tell you," Damian said.

"What?" Raisa asked.

"I'm inviting your uncle and aunt to this mansion tomorrow afternoon!" Damian said.

"For what business, Damian?" Raisa asked, curiously.

"So they'll know that you're living a luxurious life now that you're separated from them," Damian said.

"B-but... I'm nothing in this house. I just happened to be helped by you, and then I'm staying here, who knows how long!" Raisa said.

"I don't like it when you talk like that, Raisa!" Damian insisted.

"Well, it's true. You bought me, and I could be thrown away at any time. Just like my family just threw me away!" Raisa replied.

CRASH.

Damian slammed the dining table in one breath.

Seeing Damian's anger, Raisa lowered her head.

"You should feel lucky to have been bought by me, Raisa. If you had been bought by another mafia, you would have been made a slave to their lust!" Damian snapped.

"Mafia? What do you mean?" Raisa asked, confused.

Damian didn't answer; he immediately left, leaving Raisa alone.

"Damian!" Raisa called.

But Damian ignored Raisa's call.

"Miss, what's wrong?" asked the maid.

"Madam, why is Damian so angry with me?" Raisa asked back, not knowing Damian's personality well enough.

"Mr. Damian doesn't like it when people are constantly sad and blame themselves," she said.

"What did you say to Mr. Damian?" she asked.

"I just reminded him that he bought me. But he didn't accept it, he just got angry!" Raisa replied.

"If Mr. Damian gets angry, it will take a long time," she said.

"How do I apologize to him, ma'am?" Raisa asked.

"Act normally, don't overdo it!" she replied.

Raisa fell silent, remembering what she had said to Damian earlier.

"Okay, ma'am, thank you," Raisa said.

"You're welcome, go to sleep. You have work tomorrow," she said.

Raisa nodded slowly, then went into the guest room. She couldn't sleep with Damian this time.

"Huh... So this is what it feels like..."

After daydreaming for a while on her balcony, Raisa finally fell asleep, feeling drowsy.

The next morning, Raisa woke up to go to the office with Damian.

"Good morning, Damian, are we going now?" Raisa asked.

"You go to the office with Zack, I have something to do!" Damian said.

Without waiting for Raisa's answer, Damian left with a cold stare.

"Damian..."

Raisa simply sighed, seeing Damian's cold demeanor.

"Good morning, Miss Raisa," Zack greeted.

"Morning, Mr. Zack!" Raisa replied.

"We're going now!" Zack said.

Raisa nodded slowly, her thoughts focused on Damian, feeling guilty for upsetting him.

"Is something on your mind, miss? Or is there a problem with Mr. Damian?" Zack asked.

"I'm confused. Why did Damian get so angry when I said I should be self-aware, because Mr. Damian bought me."

"But Damian suddenly got angry. I don't know why!" Raisa replied.

"Miss Raisa just doesn't know why Mr. Damian bought you for such a high price."

"But once you know the reason, you'll understand. Why doesn't Mr. Damian like you talking like that?" Zack said.

Raisa took a deep breath. She had just entered Damian's life, so she didn't know anything about him.

"Mr. Zack, may I ask you something?" Raisa asked, feeling apprehensive.

"Please."

"Is Damian a mafia member?" Raisa asked, mustering up courage.

Zack didn't answer immediately; he hadn't expected that question to come out of her mouth.

"Mr. Zack... Why are you so quiet?" Raisa asked.

"Only Mr. Damian can answer that, not me!" Zack insisted.

Raisa didn't ask any more questions, as they had already arrived at the office.

"Hey, Damian's car hasn't arrived yet, where is he?" Raisa thought.

But Raisa didn't want to keep asking Zack; she went straight into the office.

"Good morning, Raisa," Ivana greeted.

"Ivana, why are you here?" Raisa asked.

"I applied for a job here so we can see each other regularly," Ivana replied with a sly smile.

"Tsk, I don't want to see you!" Raisa replied.

"I'll tell Damian that you should be fired!"

"Who are you? You can tell Mr. Damian to fire me, huh!" Ivana snapped.

"I'm his future wife, of course Damian will do what I want!" Raisa replied with a mocking look.

"You..." Ivana pointed at Raisa's face.

Raisa immediately slapped Ivana's hand away.

"Don't think that I...
