MELISSA’S POVI got to the living room and I didn’t see anyone around. As much as I wanted to just believe that Professor Darwin might not be there, I couldn’t fight back the tugging feeling that made me want to check Lord Vincenzo’s study.I walked calmly, ensuring my body movement weren’t giving off sneaky vibes. My eyes drifted left and right, trying to figure out which was his study amongst them until I got to a large door and could see a shadow from beneath the door.“Okay, here goes nothing.” I said under my breath.Then I leaned my arm against the wall, trying to look through the lock without anyone seeing my shadow. To my horror, Professor Darwin was really with Lord Vincenzo in his study.My heart began to beat erratically and it took me a long time before I knew I ought to leave immediately. But then, the door opened and my breath seized realizing that Lord Vincenzo would see me.Thankfully, it was just Professor Darwin who stepped out of the study.He smirked, looking at me

MELISSA’S POV“Are you sure there really is a way we can get rid of Professor Darwin?” I asked, feeling a little uncomfortable.I didn’t want a situation whereby we would try something and it would backfire on us. That would only make my situation worse.“Yes, I am pretty sure. But first, I will advise that we both have some fun now and then tomorrow, we’ll come up with something. Just clear your mind off all of these annoying things.”I let out a deep breath and nodded my head. “So, what are we doing?”“Just follow my lead.” She said and rose to her feet, then held her hand out to me. “Come on.” She urged.I smiled and took her hand, then we hurried out of school.We took a cab, and she mentioned the name of a place that I had no idea of, but I trusted that I was in safe hands.Soon, we got to our destination.The moment we stepped out of the cab, the loud sounds of music, laughter, and electronic beeps filled the air. I looked up at the building in front of us, my curiosity immediate

Chapter 9MELISSA’S POVThe moment my nude photos would get out, I know very well that it is that very day doom would befall me. Lord Vincenzo might take all my explanations for an excuse. The fact that he might punish me or get rid of me after the whole incident made me feel scared.“Hey! The coach is headed this way. You can continue with whatever you’re doing and get caught, or you leave!” I heard a familiar voice speak out.“You escaped this one. Don’t think you’ll be lucky enough to escape another.” The leader said, and then they all ran out of the basketball court.I fell to the ground, traumatized by what had just happened. I was close to enslavement which could turn to public ridicule if I didn’t allow myself to be enslaved. Then I turned to the direction of the voice of the person who saved me, and coming towards me was Claire.“Hey, are you okay?” She asked, bending down to me.I sniffled, and swatted my hair to the back, then sat up.“You saved me again.” I muttered out, no

MELISSA’S POV I was lost in thoughts while walking back home. I felt so troubled, lost, dejected, and tired of it all. I couldn’t believe that Lord Vincenzo truly had his eyes on me in the school and what was more surprising was that it was my professor. Now, I was in trouble seeing as Professor Darwin was ready to destroy my life if I didn’t do his bid. “Oh, gosh! What do I do about this?” I stomped my feet like a pouting child. “Is there anything wrong?” Kavon questioned, out of the blue. I didn’t notice that I had almost gotten home until I looked up at Kavon and then I glanced at the mansion. “Uhm… N…nothing.” I replied, then I walked into the mansion. When I got into my room, I sat on the bed like a lifeless being. Thinking back to when Professor Darwin asked me to have sex with him, I felt frustrated. “I can’t have sex with that man. No. There has to be another way around this.” I muttered under my breath as I stared at the ceiling. My eyes gradually closed as they beca

MELISSA’S POV Here I was, right before the college. I couldn’t believe I was sent to study fashion designing. Out of all courses in the world, I had to go for fashion designing. Anyways, I was to be thankful because I could still manage that. It was still a reputable course, with a promising future. I walked into the building, and found the class I was to have this morning. I was late, and it was so weird as half of the class turned their heads to look at me. “Miss whatever, this should be your first and last time you come in to my class late. I am Professor Darwin and I do not tolerate both lateness and laziness in my class.” He spoke sternly, and I nodded, pursing my lips out of embarrassment. About half of the class laughed, making things worse, so I just found my way up to the back. I sat down comfortably, and focused on the Professor. “Hey.” A lady with blonde hair, called my attention. She was two seats away from me, but she moved closer to me and sat beside me. “I’m Cla

MELISSA’S POV I was back in my room, and could not get the thought of what had happened between Lord Vincenzo and I out of my mind. Although, it had ended just with a kiss, and it seemed like it was the influence of the alcohol. But the only thing that weighed on me was the fact that he reminded me that I know him even before I was auctioned to him. I had tried to forget it as long as he didn’t remember me, but he telling me I looked familiar only pushed dread down my throat. ~flashback~ FIVE YEARS AGO I was left alone in the house because my aunt and her son had gone out to have fun at the mall and what hit me hard in the heart was the fact that they would go to the cinema and have fun with the virtual games as well. My aunt had ordered me to do the laundry, and clean the home before she got back. I even had to do my cousin’s laundry as well which was disgusting because most of his pants was stained with his semen. I squeezed my face as I sorted out the clothes which were meant
