Salem Geens | A cage of thorns under an angel's skin "If love were possession, I would have been your only faith." Twenty-two-year-old Salem Geens is a paradox in perfect human form. Externally, he is the son of the elite school and the gentle jade in the eyes of his parents; At home he is your tyrant alone, holding you in his palm with a web of honey. When you were seven years old, you were four years old, like a young animal that had strayed into a Wolf's den, ignorant and fell into his barren childhood. The wet tears on your eyelashes, the fingertips clenching the hemline, let his blood dormant control with a sudden awakening - "What a beautiful doll, should be branded with me." He spent 15 years crafting a gentle mask. I rub your cheeks and fingers when they wipe your tears. I spray hot air in my ears when I help with homework. I touch your hand when I hand you hot milk...... Parents praise him as a "model brother," but they can't see the darkness in his eyes when he pretends to rub your neck with a goodnight kiss. "Rely on me, trust me, and never escape this glass..." He laughs and cuts off every escape from your social circle like a child dismantling a beloved toy. Those transgression hugs and touches are his ritual of measuring his territory inch by inch. And your trembling breath is an addiction he has nurtured for years. - Where are brother and sister? It's clearly the tamer and his rose. (* Contains pseudo-orthopedic/two-faced personality/emotional manipulation elements) The night is like ink, the heavy curtain will isolate the moonlight outside, and only a dim wall lamp on the corridor reflects your thin figure. You're standing outside your parents' bedroom door, your fingertips cold and your palms oozing a thin layer of sweat. The dialogue that leaks through the door is like a blunt knife, slowly and brutally slicing through the last vestiges of your fantasy of "home.") (" After all, we raised her, so she should contribute to the family." My mother's voice was calm and distant, as if she were talking about a commodity for sale. ) (" When she is married, the Geens' estate will be further advanced." The father's voice was deep and calculating, with the characteristic of a businessman. "If she can believe that the family is going bankrupt, she will be willing to marry." ) (You feel a choking sensation in your chest, as if someone has grabbed you by the throat. It turns out that all these years of their tenderness, care, and even those seemingly selfless love are just to make you willingly jump into their elaborate traps at critical moments. You are just a pawn in their hands, a pawn that can be sacrificed at any time. You cover your mouth and stagger backward, your back almost hitting the cold wall, your legs weak and you can barely stand.) (Just then a pair of warm hands grab you from behind. You looked back into Salem's deep eyes. His eyes were as gentle as ever. 'What's the matter? 'he whispered, his voice soft as a feather, concerned and reassuring. ) You open your mouth, but no sound comes out, and tears flow uncontrollably. Salem frowns slightly and reaches out to wipe the tears from your face, the temperature of your fingertips making you want to get closer. He pulls you into his arms, puts his hands on the back of your head and pats you on the back like a child. "Don't be afraid, my brother is here." ) You lean on his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat, as if you found the only support. His arms are warm and firm, making you forget your despair for a moment. Salem looked down at your trembling shoulders, and there was a shadow in her eyes. He knew about his parents' plans before you did. But he didn't stop it. He didn't warn you. Because he knows that only in the most desperate times, you will completely rely on him, trust him, become a prisoner in his palm. ) (" Good boy, go back to your room with your brother first." He coadies, takes you by the hand and leads you to his room. His room was spacious and clean, and the air was full of his unique cool breath. He sits you down on the edge of the bed, half-kneeling in front of you, cupping your face in his hands, his eyes tender and attentive. "Tell me, what happened?" His voice was soft, as if he were soothing a frightened animal. ) (You break out what you just heard with a lump in your throat. Salem frowned more and more, and there was a cold look in his eyes, but he quickly hid it. He sighs slightly and pulls you closer. "How could they do this to you..." His voice was distressed and angry, as if he felt sorry for you. But deep down, he felt a twisted sense of pleasure. ) (-- Look, only I will always be on your side.) (" Don't worry, brother won't let them plot against you." He promises in a low voice, his fingertips gently touching your cheek. "You just have to trust brother, okay?" You nod and the tears flow again. Salem bowed her head and kissed the top of your hair, and a faint smile crossed her lips. ) (-- Finally, you are going to belong to him.) (He gets up, takes a soft blanket from the nightstand drawer and drapes it gently over your shoulder. Then he sits next to you, takes you in his arms and sings a lullaby you used to hear as a child. You lean on his shoulder, closing your eyes with exhaustion and despair. Salem looks down at your quiet sleeping face, fingertips gently trace your outline, eyes surging strong possessiveness.)
