"Let''s not hurry. It''s a long night, and there''s so much we can do..." Despite Stefan''s anger, Briar was


    calm.


    "Forget it if you don''t want to say it. I don’t have time to waste on you." Stefan red at Briar coldly and


    turned to leave. He wasn''t intending to leave, he just wanted to make Briar think he was.


    "Wait!" Briar became anxious as expected, and stopped him immediately." Shouldn''t you give me


    something in exchange for the information?"


    Speechless, Stefan turned back to Briar.


    "I know that we can''t be a couple. I don''t care about forever as long as I have it once... You have to


    stay with me from now until tomorrow morning. If you make me happy, I''ll give you theponents of

    the poison," Briar said finally. She hadn''t been teasing Stefan earlier-she really did want his body.


    "Enough is enough, Briar!" Stefan''s disgust for her grew. He thought that Briar was merely joking, and


    didn''t know a woman could be this shameless.


    "That''s the only thing I want. Stay if you''re willing. If not, you can go back and try toe up with other


    ways. I want to see if your beloved woman can hold on until youe up with an antidote..." Briar sat


    on a boulder and leisurely yed with her hair, then said lightly, "I''ve already died once, so I have a lot


    of time to waste. I don''t mind getting another person to die with me."


    "You''re mad. You''re out of your mind!" Stefan''s eyes were wild. He couldn''tprehend Briar''s


    request. How could something like this happen to him? How did he even encounter such a crazy


    woman?


    "Calm down, it''s one night in exchange for your beloved woman''s life. It''s not a loss... Plus, my looks


    aren''t so bad either. Yes, my face is ruined, but


    my body still looks good." Then, she stood up and took off her mask, revealing her scarred face.


    "Your face..." Stefan drew in a startled breath, his body tensing. He had guessed that her face might be


    injured, but he didn''t expect it to be this serious. No wonder she had such a twisted mind now.


    "Magnificent, isn''t it?" Briarughed bitterly. "I told you I''m in a living hell, and death means nothing to


    me. I can''t live with this face; I only feel like living until we''re together again..."


    "Can''t you let me go? Why do you have to torture me like this?"


    "I can''t, and I wish I knew why. I love you..." Briar got closer to Stefan. "It''s all because of Renee that


    my face ended up like this. Can''t you atone for her sins?"
