With only six months left until the wedding, I resolved to carry out an undercover investigation by pretending to date him. People wouldn't believe my words, so I had no choice but to gather evidence myself. Even though she had planned to reveal the fact that he was a serial killer by hovering around him... *** "You said you fell in love with me at first sight, so what were you doing here with another man?" A cold voice flowed into my ears. "W-What do you mean? I was just dancing to ensure there were no disruptions at the banquet..." The nape of my neck heated up from the hot breath brushing against the outer edges of my ear. The contrast between his warm touches and the cool tone of his voice intoxicated me even more. "You called his name so affectionately, as he held you tightly in his arms." "Gasp." Unable to escape the strong scent that clouded my senses, I held my breath. My whole body tingled from the strange sensation spreading from my neck to the rest of my body. He tilted his head and said... "If there's someone else's scent coming from you... I'll have an urge to kill."

I became a maid in a horror game. And, here in this mansion, I was confined together with the male lead, who’s trying to escape. My role here was to guide him around the mansion and to give him penalties once in a while. I just need to fulfill my NPC duties until the male lead’s playthrough is over. “Once I get out, I’ll have you locked up the same way.” This male lead was kicking up quite the racket though. So I decided to help him escape as soon as possible. “Let’s eat, Dietrich.” “That’s a potion. It’ll get you healed up right away.” “The escape hint is right over there…” I stuffed him well enough so he had enough energy for the next part of the game. I gave him a potion to use in case he got hurt. I also gave him some hints to solve the problem. Then, we can get out now, right? However. “Not sure. I don’t know the answer.” Look here, smart guy. What exactly do you mean by that? …The male lead doesn’t want to leave the mansion. “If you’re not leaving, then I will!” I shouted in a fit of anger. At the thought of having to keep looking at this hateful guy’s face, I was justifiably annoyed. “Is this truly the kind of place that you can get out of?” As he said this, the look in his eyes darkened sharply. “Just so we’re clear, I have absolutely no intention of getting out of here.” “What?” “And you’re not leaving either.” How the hell did it come to this?
