I woke up in a pitch-black basement, with only a little outside light shining through the door crack. I felt my body aching; there was no strength left after being beaten by Killian because I was trying to get back the money I had saved over the years from this stepfather. My mother, Killian and his son are gamblers. They stole the money I worked so hard to get into casinos often. When the three of them were penniless and in debt piled up, they came to me again, forcing me to give them money.I lay huddled in the cold basement and constantly wondered why I must endure such a dark life? After all, what did I do wrong? Even the mother I trust the most only sees me as a money-making tool for her. At this moment, I really miss my father, he is the one who understands me the most and loves me the most, but I don't know why that day, he didn't take me with him?"Dad, where are you now? I miss my dad so much."At this moment, I couldn't hold back the tears that fell, making the wound on my f
He seemed to have ordered his bodyguard to lift me up. At this close distance, I could clearly see this man's face. My heart seemed to stop beating for a moment because this was the same man who had taken my virginity three years ago. The man I can't forget with his dark black hair hanging over his forehead, his perfect face, insanely beautiful, and his pale blue eyes piercing my soul. Confusion reigned within me."Please save me." I gasp, the words dry like sawdust in my mouth. I couldn't hold back my tears and cried right before him. I'm so scared, and I don't know who to turn to right now except him.At my pleas, he swept his sharp, hawk-like eyes, looking at me from top to bottom to judge me for who I was. I looked down at my bare feet in shame; I looked so messy, like a beggar. I wondered if he saw my poor situation and came to my aid?"Sorry for obstructing your path. She's drunk and speaking unsavory words. Now we will bring her back."I was startled to hear Charles' blatant li
I saw that man slowly move away from me, and my consciousness gradually became hazy before my eyes darkened. On this cold, desperate night, I cried out for the last bit of hope from that man with a heart of stone."I will do anything you want. Please, get me out of here.""Shut up! You're crazy!" Charles covered my mouth and roughly pulled me away. I tried to hold my body down to wait for the man's decision.I looked at Charles indignantly and expressed my disgust for him in every word: "You are a demon. I curse you to hell and get out of my life."Charles tugged my hair back, gritted his teeth, and said, "Fuck! Tonight I'll punish you, so you shut up."My eyes flashed when I saw that he had stopped, but he still didn't move while I was about to be carried by Charles to the car. He was trying to push me inside the car to get me out of this place quickly. I screamed weakly and fought back to break free of his grip: "Get out of my way.""Wait a moment!" That man's voice was so powerful
I felt a cold air wrap around me, my body shivering as I turned around and met his sharp eyes. I want to run away now, but I can't; I don't have any strength left. Even if I could jump out of the car, I wouldn't be able to escape this man's muscular bodyguards. And maybe, my actions will also make him angry; then he will give me back to Kirk and Charles. I clenched my fist and hid it in my coat pocket to hide the fear in my heart. The sense of panic and emptiness made me feel like my veins were frozen. Then I shook my head in denial of his question; however, I couldn't stop thinking about the worst that could happen to me. I wonder if my decision to ask this man to help me was right or wrong?I gulped and boldly told him, "If this can help me pay off my debt, I will."He stared at me with narrowed eyes, testing whether my words were true or false. I hope he does not realize my disgust for him, even though he is my benefactor. My mind is blank now; I can't think of anything else. I'm n
Then Steven dragged me to another room; the surrounding space was all gray; looking around appeared a dark color, dim light, fanciful. I clenched my fist to become calmer as I faced him. He stared at me like he wanted to pierce my heart. Seeing that look in his eyes made the hairs on the back of my neck shiver. Steven gave me a scornful smile at my words. He seems to think I'm some kind of no-nonsense person, but I still try to hold my head high to retain some of my pride, even though I know what's going to happen to me.“Diana, I gave you one last chance to run away from this place. But it seemed that she purposely did not want to leave. As expected, you are not an ordinary person.”I nodded firmly in response to Steven's question. Although I know starting this job is somewhat dangerous and having to stop studying at university temporarily. Later, when I pay off all this debt, I will continue my study path, go to another place, and start a new life. I will bury my past; I don't want
Days later, I became a maid in Steven's mansion. With the guidance of the butler and others, I gradually got used to my job. Since that time, Steven and I have done it many more times; those times are late at night. Steven's work seems very busy, so he usually comes home at one or two o'clock in the morning. Whenever he wanted to relieve his sexual desire, he took the initiative to go to my room. I have tried many times to find excuses to refuse Steven's request, but he coerced and forced me to do the thing that I hate the most. Even so, I still have to work to pay off my debt. I must try to get out of this place as soon as possible.Lately, I find Steven very strange. He no longer said offensive words to me; instead, Steve treated me very gently. Steven even stood up for me when some maids quarreled with me. He's willing to fire the people who live there when they make a fuss with me. Sometimes action of Steven makes my heart flutter. It's like a dream. However, I just want a quiet l
The people in the room who saw Steven and me were all excited. The men here all have one or two women by their side. This scene disgusted me. I want to run out of this room filled with lust."Steven, is this the woman you told us about?" The voice of a man sitting in the corner of the room startled me. As it turned out, they all knew I was the one Steven bought to serve his sexual needs."Right. Today I bring it here for you to admire. How? Is that OK?" Steven said in a haughty voice; then he pushed me to stand in the middle of the room in front of many people. Although I was terrified of what he would do next, I still tried my best to hide my trembling body."Steven…she looks a lot like….""Santos, shut up! Don't talk too much." Steven gritted his teeth and threw a steely look at Santos.The man named Santos looked at me, smirking slyly. "OK. I will keep quiet."I vaguely guessed that they didn't want to tell me about something related to me. However, I am not in the mood to pay much
Eric, when he saw Steven, immediately let go of me. There was a flash of fear in his eyes. He glanced at me, gave me a mischievous smile, and said, "I didn't expect your doll to be so easy. But she really knows how to fascinate others! Typically me.”"Bastard." I hastily explained to Steven because I was afraid he would believe Eric's words, "He's lying. I didn't do such a disgraceful thing."Eric seems to see Steven's anger; he quickly runs away. Now only the two of us are left. The space is tense now, and I feel a bit flustered as Steven comes closer to me, staring at me. His face now looks like someone who just came from hell."Do you think I will believe what you say? Seeing the two people cuddling was already obvious. Yet she still denied it. If I weren't here, you would have deceived Eric with an innocent face with a broken heart, right?"I realized that no matter how much I explained, it wouldn't solve anything. It even made Steven think I was trying to justify my actions. I do
