Masuk"Lani, you can’t escape from me." Dante said this while gripping Lani's chin mercilessly. Lani tried to hold back her tears as she asked Dante, "Have you ever loved me?" "Never." Dante answered decisively, without any hesitation, leaving Lani's heart numb. Despite being together for over two years, Dante still saw her as a mere substitute, only viewing her as a mistress. Dante had thought Lani would never leave, but one day she proposed ending their loveless relationship. "Dante, let's end this." "I won't allow you to leave me." Dante coldly declared, but Lani was indifferent and chose to leave anyway. The more she tried to escape, the more Dante pursued her. Does Dante truly love her, or does he see her as a replacement for someone else? Who is the woman Dante truly loves, and will she reappear? What will happen next? Read on to find out.

But when there was no way out, she realized that nothing mattered anymore, not even her self-respect.Maya sat next to Lani, clearly feeling the tension that filled the air. Lani’s best friend had been constantly reassuring her, but Maya herself didn’t have any viable plan to offer. The two of them sat in silence, only the sound of Lani's heavy breathing filling the dark night.“What are you thinking?” Maya asked softly, not daring to look Lani in the eyes. She knew that all her help was now meaningless. Maya had no money, and she had no influence to fight the thugs.Lani looked up, her eyes bloodshot from lack of sleep and worry. “I... I have to call him, Maya. I have no other choice.”Maya couldn’t help but frown. “Him? Who are you talking about?”Lani gripped the phone tightly in her hand. “Dante.”...Dante sat in his vast office, the dim light from the crystal chandeliers casting shadows on the polished black wood desk
The two girls had just arrived at Maya's apartment, and before they could even sigh in relief, Lani's phone rang. The shrill ringtone echoed through the small space, startling both of them. Lani hesitated for a moment before picking up the phone. An unfamiliar number appeared on the screen, giving her a bad feeling."Lani Miller, do you recognize my voice?" A deep, grating voice came through the other end, dripping with sarcasm and menace."Who are you? How did you get my number?" Lani gripped the phone tightly, trying to stay calm."It doesn't matter who I am. What you need to care about is your little brother, John Miller, who is now in our hands." The voice cut through her like a knife."What?!" Lani screamed, her hands trembling.Maya looked at Lani with concern and quickly moved closer, trying to hear what the man on the other end was saying. Lani held the phone close to her ear, the man's voice still mocking and triumphant."We know you’ve been hiding the kid at the boarding sch
Lani dragged her worn-out suitcase along the gravel path, her aching legs threatening to give way with every step. This was the third time this year she had to move houses, all because of her father, Mr. John, who had once again gotten involved in massive debts and mysteriously disappeared. Each time it happened, the weight on Lani’s shoulders grew heavier. She didn’t blame him, but she hated how cruel life could be.The house finally disappeared behind her—a place that, just hours ago, had been her shelter but was now somewhere she dared not return to. The thugs were undoubtedly still hunting her. Tears streamed down her face as Lani picked up her phone to call the only person she thought could help her—Maya.Maya’s panicked voice echoed in Lani’s ear: “Lani, what’s going on?”Lani tried to keep her voice steady, but the tremor in her tone betrayed her fear and despair: “Maya... I have nowhere else to go. I... I’m hurt. Can you help me?”“I’m staying at a rented apartment near this
When Lani returned home, she was met with chaos. Her house was in disarray, clothes were strewn everywhere, and valuable items had been smashed. Suddenly, a group of thugs surrounded her, their faces menacing.“Where’s your father? Take me to him now!”“What are you talking about? I don’t understand,” Lani said, looking around in confusion, unable to find her father.“Your father owes us money. Now, hand over whatever you have.”The thugs searched Lani’s bags and found $1,000, which they scoffed at.“Is this all you have?”“How much does my father owe you?”“$100,000. He’s gone, so you’ll have to pay up. If not, we’ll sell you to a nightclub as a dancer.”The gangsters began to have inappropriate thoughts about her, causing Lani to fear for her safety, her voice trembling."I'll pay you back, just let me go.""Let you go so you can escape like your father, huh?"One of them came up to stroke Lani's face, leering."This girl is pretty too. How about we have some fun with her first, the
