Chapter 1994
The voice that he wanted to hold onto but had to let go.
Who was the head of the Atkinson family? Who was that woman?
Manfred's eyes suddenly snapped open. His gaze locked onto Vivian.
And in that instant, he knew.
The woman who had been haunting his thoughts these past few days, the one who appeared in his mind over and over again-was her.
The woman was standing right in front of him.
"Who is that head of the Atkinson family?" His voice was hoarse.
A thought surfaced in his mind-that the head of the Atkinson family was him.
Manfred was also him.
Vivian's heart pounded. "Have you always lived here?" she asked.
"They all call you Mr. Atkinson."
Manfred hummed a faint reply. But deep inside, a voice told him he did not like this identity.
Vivian was momentarily stunned. "I... I don't know where to begin. The Manfred I know looks exactly like you. And he was the head of the Atkinson family."
Manfred narrowed his eyes. He didn't like the way her eyes softened when she spoke of someone else. But at the same time, a strange sense of satisfaction filled him. It was as if some deep longing inside him was being fulfilled.
Lately, his mind felt more and more out of control.
Seeing Manfred remain silent, Vivian didn't press further.
Just then, a maid arrived with the meal.
It was an extravagant feast, filling the table with dishes.
The aroma was mouthwatering, making the already starving Vivian feel even hungrier.
"Eat," Manfred told her.
Vivian nodded and dug in.
From beginning to end, Manfred didn't eat. He just sat there watching her.
If it had been anyone else, they would've been too scared to continue eating.
But Vivian didn't care. Right now, nothing was more important than filling her stomach.
Even if she wanted to escape, she'd need energy to run.
Then, a "Mr.

It was not in fear but with a killing intent so thick that it was almost tangible.
Vivian froze. She stopped eating. Mr. Atkinson Sr.? Manfred's father?

Even the servant who delivered the message had struggled to keep his voice steady.
Something was very, very wrong.
"Stay here. Do not leave this room." Manfred then stood up.
Before leaving, he turned back to look at her. "Remember. Don't step outside."
Vivian nodded. But just as Manfred reached the door, he suddenly stopped.

Then, he turned back and pulled out a dagger from his waist before saying. Keep this on you. If anyone triesto hurt you, stab them in the neck."
He even demonstrated the precise and deadly move as he spoke. Only then did
he finally leave the room.
Vivian picked up the dagger. It was razor-sharp.
The technique Manfred had just shown her would sever a person's artery. It would be an instant kill.
This man...
