Chapter 2: Daddy's Baby

“What did you just say?” I asked, staring at her in shock.

The girl glanced toward the door behind her before looking back at me.“I said I can help you escape,” she repeated calmly.

“Why do you want to risk your life for me? Don’t you know if Master finds out, you’ll be killed?” I asked, my voice shaking as fear tightened in my chest.

“He won’t find out. I’ve escaped from here before,” she said.

“Then why are you back?” I asked, confusion spreading across my face.

She walked closer and sat on the edge of the bed beside me. I stayed where I was, watching her carefully.

“I needed money. After I ran away, I realized there was nowhere to go and no way to survive. That’s why I came back,” she said quietly.

“They didn’t suspect you?” I asked.

Her fingers curled around the hem of her dress as she forced a small smile. “Not at all, I called in sick.” ” she said softly.

“I… I’m scared. I can’t do this. If Master finds out about my situation, it will be worse than this,” I said, brushing my brown hair behind my ear nervously.

She reached out and gently grabbed my hand, holding it firmly.

“It’s not good to stay here forever. If you run, you at least have a chance to live a long life,” she said.

Her words made my heart beat faster, and somewhere deep inside my mind, I knew she was right.

“You don’t know about this. Master already had another girl before you came. She was pretty, beautiful, and every man wanted her. He treated her like a slave and ruined her completely, he fucked her till death.” she said.

My eyes widened in shock as my hand slowly covered my mouth.“Till death?” I whispered.

“Yes, till death. I heard her cries every day, but no one tried to help her,” she said quietly.

“She was locked in a room and only used when he wanted her. Her life was worse than a prisoner’s. Do you want your life to become like that?” she asked, looking straight into my eyes.

“No,” I whispered quickly, my body beginning to tremble.

“Good. If you don’t want that, then run,” she said firmly.

“Wait… what happened to the girl?” I asked.

She bit her lip, and her eyes filled with sadness.

“Master came back home angry one night. One of his deals had gone wrong. He called for the slave girl, but she couldn’t be found. When he got to his room, he saw her sleeping on his bed,” she said slowly.

Her voice trembled slightly.

“He immediately ordered one of the guards to bring a knife…”

She stopped speaking.

My stomach tightened with fear.

“What happened next?” I asked quietly, my heart pounding inside my chest.

“I don’t think it’s good for you to hear this,” she said quietly.

I stared at her, my stomach tightening. My fingers curled into the blanket beside me as a nervous feeling spread through my chest. I could already sense the story was going to be terrible, but I needed to know. The room felt smaller, and the air seemed heavier as I waited for her to continue. My heart was beating so loudly I could hear it in my ears.

“The master ordered the guards to bring a knife,” she said slowly.

A cold chill ran down my spine. I wrapped my arms around myself without thinking, my shoulders trembling slightly. My mind raced with horrible possibilities, but I forced myself to listen. I swallowed hard, my throat suddenly dry.

“She begged him to stop,” she continued. “She cried and tried to explain that she didn’t mean any harm.”

My fingers trembled as I gripped the edge of the bed. I could almost hear the crying she described, and it made my chest tighten painfully. I felt sick just imagining someone begging for mercy and no one helping them.

“But he didn’t care,” she said quietly. “He was angry. He dragged her by the arm and forced her onto the floor.”

My heart began pounding harder. I shook my head slightly, as if trying to push the image away from my mind. My breathing became uneven, and I pressed my lips together to stop them from trembling.

“She kept begging,” the girl said. “But he didn’t stop.”

My eyes burned as tears began forming in them. I blinked quickly, trying to hold them back. My body felt weak, like the strength was slowly draining from my limbs.

“I heard everything from outside the room,” she continued softly. “Her cries… the sound of her struggling.”

My chest rose and fell rapidly as fear settled deep inside me. The thought of being trapped here forever suddenly felt real. My hands slowly covered my mouth as I tried to steady my breathing.

“And then?” I whispered.

The girl looked down at the floor before answering. Her silence alone made my heart sink.

“He killed her.”

The words felt like a heavy weight crashing down on me. My eyes widened, and the air seemed to leave my lungs at once. I sat frozen for a moment, unable to move or speak.

“After that, he told the guards to throw her body away,” she said.

My entire body began to shake. Tears slipped down my cheeks before I could stop them. I wiped them away quickly, but more followed. The reality of my situation suddenly felt terrifying.

“That’s why you must leave,” she said firmly. “If you stay here, you will end up just

like her.”

My breathing became shaky, and I lowered my head as fear filled every part of me. I imagined myself trapped in the same fate, and the thought made my stomach twist painfully.

“I… I don’t know if I can do it,” I whispered.

My hands trembled in my lap as doubt crept into my mind. Running meant risking everything, but staying meant losing my life.

“You have to,” she said, her voice more serious now. “If you stay here, there will be no future for you.”

I slowly lifted my head and looked at her. My heart was still racing, but something inside me was beginning to change. Fear was still there, but now it was mixed with a small spark of determination.

“What should I do?” I asked quietly.

The girl leaned closer and lowered her voice.

“Tonight, when everyone is asleep, we run.”
