Elena POV
Before I knew it, night had fallen.
This time, I was wearing the uniform for the club's drink servers, a waitress-style outfit that showed far more skin than I was used to.
"Does this thing really have to show this much cleavage?" I tugged awkwardly at the neckline and glanced down at the tight skirt. "And this skirt is way too tight..."
"Hk
Chapter...Elena POVBefore I knew it, night had fallen.This time, I was wearing the uniform for the club's drink servers, a waitress-style outfit that showed far more skin than I was used to."Does this thing really have to show this much cleavage?" I tugged awkwardly at the neckline and glanced down at the tight skirt. "And this skirt is way too tight...""Hk!" I shifted uncomfortably."I can barely walk in this thing."I muttered under my breath while staring at myself in the mirror. I swallowed hard, feeling self-conscious about the way the uniform hugged my body. But then I remembered the money I'd received earlier that afternoon, and all my worries disappeared almost instantly.Ah, whatever, I was only working here.For money! For money, Elena!!
Chapter...THUMP. THUMP. THUMP.He said it so calmly, as though marriage were nothing more than a simple business arrangement. Then he continued, his piercing blue eyes fixed on me."I'll give you comfort, wealth, and everything you could ever want..." He tilted his head, a sharp smirk playing across his lips as though this entire situation were nothing more than a game to him. "Once you've given me a child, you'll be free, Elena. You can forget all of this and chase whatever dreams you have without having to worry about anything."A contract marriage?The thought made me feel so small.Tears slipped down my cheeks, and I had to steady my breathing just to force the words out.My voice trembled as I swallowed down all the pain I'd been carrying alone."M-Mr. Kingston... I know I'm poor, and I know I don't have anyone. But that doesn't mean you can trample all over my dignity whenever you please!" I swallowed hard and closed my eyes for a moment.It hurt!God, it hurt so badly!!It fe
Elena POV..."Mhm..." My body felt strangely warm, almost feverish.I didn't know why, but even in my sleep, I could feel it. I couldn't put the sensation into words. It was as though my body was craving something wicked... Something far too embarrassing to admit.My body felt hungry for touch. For intimacy. For sex!What the hell?I must have completely lost my mind. How could I feel something like this while I was asleep?Was this what people called a wet dream?Heh...!My hands clenched tightly, my chest rising and falling as..."Ah..." I finally woke when a strange pain spread across my neck.The ache came with an unfamiliar pleasure that made my entire body crave something I couldn't understand.Hah~The moment my eyes opened, my heart seemed to forget how to beat.My entire body went rigid... The strange mixture of pain and pleasure I'd been feeling suddenly became much more intense."Awake, little mate?" His deep whisper sent a shiver through me. His lips curled into a sharp,
Chapter 6...I found several men who looked to be in their thirties or older sitting with a group of gorgeous women dressed in revealing clothes."Finally! Our drinks are here!" The man who shouted was wearing a thick gold chain around his neck. Judging by the way the other serious-looking men in the room behaved around him, he was probably their boss."Good evening, ladies and gentlemen." My voice came out more nervous than I'd intended.I didn't even know if that was what I was supposed to say when delivering drinks, but all I knew was that I wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible."Please enjoy." I dipped my head politely and forced a professional smile onto my face. Then I turned around, ready to leave.But..."Hey, hey!" The man with the thick gold chain called out behind me."Not so fast, pretty blonde."I stopped."Come pour me a drink!"THUMP.My heart dropped straight into my stomach. My hands began to tremble, and my eyes widened as an inexplicable sense of dange
Chapter 5...Elena POVI walked faster, my hands clenched so tightly that my palms were turning red. My breathing grew heavier with every step, and I could already feel my eyes beginning to burn.But...Don't cry, Elena.You've suffered enough.Keep your head up and keep walking.I repeated those words over and over in my head.Biting down hard on my lower lip, I fought against the pain that kept crashing into my chest, each blow feeling like a hammer striking my already shattered heart.From the corner of my eye, I caught Hera glaring at me."Such an idiot," she muttered lightly. The words were quiet, but clear enough for me to hear.And of course, they were meant for me.She folded her arms across her chest and stared at me with open contempt.By then, I had already walked past them.I kept moving, my steps growing faster even as every breath became hotter and more difficult to take.The sidewalk behind campus was always deserted. There wasn't another soul in sight, and as the wind
Chapter 4...**Elena**My chest burned with a dull, crushing ache.If I'd let my emotions take over, I would've slapped Killian across the face, screamed at him, and exposed everything he'd done.But what would be the point?Who would've believed me?I was Elena Swan; the stupid blonde hopelessly obsessed with Killian — the girl who would do anything just to stay by his side, even if it meant becoming nothing more than his plaything.Hah...A bitter laugh escaped my lips.The whispers and mocking voices from the students echoed around me, each word laced with contempt.But I didn't cry.Not because I had suddenly become stronger... I simply had no tears left after crying all night over a man who couldn't even protect my dignity."Elena..." Maya's gentle voice pulled me back to reality. The storm raging inside my chest faded for a moment as I turned to look at her. "Are you okay?" she asked, genuine worry written all over her face.She probably thought I had completely fallen apart...
