It was a sunny day.
I stood in front of my father’s grave with swollen eyes. The burial had just ended, and all the mourners left me alone in the lonely graveyard.
While looking at the epitaph on the gravestone where my father’s name was carved, my phone vibrated. I shoved my hand inside my pocket and checked the message I received from an unknown number.
[“You must pay your father’s debt, Miss Agatha Samson. The debt is $2.5 million. Today is the due date. If you don’t pay it by 4 pm, I have no choice but to use force ^^.”]
$2.5 million. Hah!
I just graduated from college and haven’t passed the bar exam yet. My dad was arrested for tax evasion and lost the right to own the company. Then, he died in a car accident, leaving me with $2.5 million in debt!
THERE’S NO WAY I CAN PAY FOR THAT!
“I need to escape.”
I put my cell phone back in my pocket and looked at my father’s grave for the last time.
“I never blamed you, Dad,” I mumbled. “Until the end, I know that you are innocent. However, there’s nowhere for me, so I must go.”
Today is the due date. Probably, the loan shark was waiting for me to come back home. However, I have no plans to go back. Before attending my father’s burial, I had packed my things and secretly placed them in the public locker.
All that is left is to get my things and fly outside the country.
‘A place where no one knows me.’
“Goodbye, Dad,” I said, sobbing. I wiped my eyes and took a deep breath.
‘I need to be strong and survive.’
My heart felt heavy as I turned against my father’s grave and exited the graveyard. I don’t know what will happen to me after this. But first and foremost, I need to escape.
Ting~!
Another message?
I picked up my phone again. The message was from an unknown number that had texted me before.
[“It’s 3:59, baby. You are running out of time.”]
I rolled my eyes and shook my head.
‘Who cares? You would not see me anymore!’
As I was about to step North, my phone rang again.
Ting~!
[“You look sassy when you roll your eyes.”]
What?”
Ting~!
[“But you look prettier when you cry.”]
I froze in total paralysis as my eyes and hands trembled while looking at the text. Holding my breath, I looked around.
Every time I turned my head, I felt the pounding inside my veins, pulse, neck, and chest. Not long after, I saw a black car.
Inside the car was a man looking at me through the window. When our gazes met, he raised his hand and waved at me.
‘Sh*t!’
I dashed in the opposite direction and walked into the narrow alleyways.
‘Damn! Damn! Those are the loan sharks! I thought they were waiting in the house, but they have followed me instead!’
It was foolish of me to think that evil men like them would show sympathy during my father’s burial. I was stupid.
“Haa, haaa, haa…” huffing, I looked around the unfamiliar alleys.
The sun was about to set.
‘Can I escape them and arrive at the airport before it’s too late?’That is only possible if luck is on my side.
“She is here!”
When I heard the voice from afar, I ran to my left. Pushing my arms back and forth, I jumped over small potholes, pumping my legs as fast as they could! But…
“Hello!”
A man with a tattoo on his arm blocked my way. I changed my destination and ran to the West. But another guy was waiting for me at the side.
“Where are you going, little bunny?”
Walking backward, I stumbled to escape and entered another complicated maze.
“Get out of my way!” I shouted to the group of people talking to each other in the middle of the alley.
I saw their eyes widen when I shoved them and passed through them.
“Hey!”
“Look out, b*tch!”
I heard them curse behind my back. Not that I care. On this particular humid day, I don’t f*cking care who’s who and what’s what.
All I want is… to live and survive. I sped past the closed shop and ducked around the corner. Behind me came the crash of the empty boxes and the loud voice of my chaser.
“Oh, Miss Agatha~.”
When I heard that cold, menacing, I felt all my hope crumble. Then, I found myself standing in front of a huge wall.
‘It’s the dead end.’
“For goodness’ sake, stop wasting your energy.”
Turning around, I looked at the man whom I met my gaze before.
My knees trembled.
Tak.
Tak.
Tak.
He stepped closer, and I saw his face, which emitted a murderous aura. He has jet-black hair, pale skin, rounded eyes, and red lips stretched for a sneer.
This man is someone whom others might mistake as a handsome vampire. But as for me, I have time to admire this devil.
For a prey like me, there was no reason to adore a beast that might kill me RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW.
‘Tak, tak, tak…’
He jolted closer, much closer than his footsteps made my heart pound inside my chest, like a hammer slamming on her ribcage.
‘Am I really going to get caught? Is this really the end for me?’
I saw a metal bat on the side and picked it up.
“D-Don’t come! Stay away!” I threatened and swung the bat left and right, right to left. “If you step closer… I will… ahhh!”
Clang!
It was too fast.
I didn’t know how he snatched the bat from me and threw it on the ground. When I opened my eyes, I could only see his skittish image.
“That’s not cute,” he murmured, wrapping his hand around my neck.
“Urk!”
He pinned me to the wall. I wriggled my hands to escape his grip and waggled my feet. But to no avail; it was futile.
“Uck!” I groaned in pain. “I… I c-can’t br… b-breathe.”
My ears throbbed in great pain, and my throat miffed as if soon, I’d vomit blood.
A feeling of swelling inside my tongue and light-headedness made my sight turn so blurry. Bit by bit, I was losing my strength.
‘This is it. I am going to die.’
"People plead when they need money. But when it is paying time, they tend to flee as if a monster is chasing them. Am I correct?" he whispered before I felt his hand loosen around my neck.
Second next, I fell on the ground while coughing so hard.
“Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!”
While I was regaining my strength, he knelt. He touched my chin and lifted my head to meet his gaze.
‘His eyes looked at me as if soon he’d devour my entire being.’
I am scared.
Dad.
I am so scared.
“Were you trying to escape, baby girl?”
I swallowed my tears as I pursed my lips tightly.
“You think I would not know you bought a plane ticket in the underworld? That’s funny. I ruled the underground city.”
Clenching my fists, I looked into his eyes and detached my lips.
“I have no money. I HAVE NO MONEY TO PAY Y… HFF!”
He squeezed my cheek with his large hand and pulled me closer to his face.
His breath, which was brushing my skin, was warm. But my heart felt cold as I looked into his gray eyes.
“I don’t care if you don’t have money. Because I know a way how you can pay me back.”
After he dropped those words, I felt his eyes scanning me from head to toe.
He leaned closer, put his lips on my ear, and whispered.
“Use your body.”
My flee was a failure. The loan shark caught me. To be precise, they kidnapped me out of force. And no one in the world cares, even if I went missing all night. They covered my eyes with a blindfold as they took me somewhere. I couldn’t ask where because they put duct tape on my mouth. ‘So, this is how I’m gonna die?’ I heard that illegal lenders used force and violence to scare the debtors. Will they bring me to the cliff's edge and kill me with a gun? [“I don’t care if you don’t have money. Because I know a way you can pay me back. Use your body.”]When I recalled the boss’s words, every hair on my skin stood up. I knew he had no plan of killing me. No businessman would like to kill his goods. And yes, I am the goods. Waiting for what will going to happen, I clenched my fists above my lap and listened carefully to my surroundings. ‘The car stopped.’ “Get out!” Followed by a loud voice; a firm grip pulled my arm and dragged me out of the car. I couldn’t see where I’d go, so
Brett Holmes bought me as his slave for $5 million. As a slave, I thought I had to stay in a room and live a hellish life under the hands of the crazy man who bought me. But I was brought into a huge, pretty mansion with multiple rooms and polite maids. I bathed in a bathtub with roses, and the maid gave me decent clothes. I ate steak for dinner, and while waiting for my master, I watched movies on Netflix. ‘Is this how slaves live?’ It made me feel like I came back to the past when I was pampered as the daughter of a rich man. ‘No. Don’t expect too much. That guy only looks decent on the outside. But he’s twisted.’Waiting inside a room, I looked outside the window. There are guards everywhere, so escaping isn’t a choice. If I call the police and tell them I was kidnapped and sold illegally, the loan shark boss will kill me, right?As I tried to keep my sanity checked while waiting, I noticed that the only people living there were the owner, the maids, and the guards. ‘Is h
Third Person’s POV “Are you a virgin?”Brett told Agatha they would discuss things to help her succeed in her seducing mission. However, Agatha couldn’t understand why he had to ask that question. Her face turned as red as a tomato. She felt so uncomfortable answering it. “W-Why do you need to ask me that question?” Agatha asked. “I told you. It’s important.”“WHY?” “Because I had to know if you have experience or not. So, answer the question. Are you a virgin or not?” Agatha gulped as she fanned her burning cheeks with her hands. She had no experience. She dated before, but they went as far as kissing. Agatha promised Mikhail that she would give her virginity once they graduated from college. Agatha isn’t old-fashioned. She was also looking forward to experiencing adulthood. Unfortunately, she and Mikhail broke up after they graduated. “If I don’t have experience, will you change your mind?” Agatha mumbled.Brett narrowed her beautiful eyes as he leaned closer. Creak.The
Agatha’s POVIt’s been two weeks since I signed the contract with Brett. During those two weeks, Brett told me everything I needed about Lanceil Grim. He taught me Lanceil’s ideal type, favorite food, hobbies, and weaknesses. I know that Brett was telling me all of those so that I could do well with my mission. However, it made me so annoyed that after he checked my virginity with his f*cking hand, he pretended nothing happened.‘What a bastard.’ Even so, there was a huge change in my body after I experienced my first cum. Honestly, it was thrilling, and felt like my body was flowing. ‘I am crazy. I shouldn’t think about that anymore!’ I shook my head and tried to focus on what was before me. And in front of me, there was a door. Yes. A door. It was then I remembered that I was standing in front of Mr. Lanceil’s condominium. Today, I am going to meet my target. He is the only way for me to escape from the slave contract.‘Focus Agatha. Remember the reason why you came here.’ I
It’s been two weeks since I started working as Lanceil’s maid. However, my mission to seduce him did not advance because he was busy with work. At home, he would lock himself in his office and warn me not to go inside. “It is impossible to terminate the slave contract if this continues.” I need to make the extra effort. Tonight, he will come back after his long business trip. I will cook his favorite foods for dinner and gain points. Therefore, when I finished cleaning, I left the condominium to buy ingredients at the Supermarket. ‘Let’s not lose hope. I still have many days le…’ “Psst~” I lifted my head and looked at the man who called me in an ungentle manner. ‘What is he doing here?!’ My eyes widened at Adam Hendrix! The owner of the loan shark company and the man who sold me to Brett! That bastard gave me an excessively cheerful smile far from his usual expression as he leaned on a streetlamp post, and then he raised his hand mid-air, waving enthusiasticall
Agatha pulled Adam inside the narrowed alleyway. The space was so small, and it could only occupy two people simultaneously. Blinking swiftly, Adam looked at the woman in front of him. She was stunning. Black long hair, pale white skin, round eyes with long lashes, and red lips. No wonder why a billionaire like Brett chose Agatha as his slave. ‘Did he have fun with this lady? How much did he go?’ Adam wondered. His eyes traced her body. Her luscious lips. Her deep collarbone. Her white neck. Her slender shoulder. When his eyes went more down, he saw her bust. He didn’t notice it when they met for the first time, but now, Adam could tell that she had a good body. A body that can make a man kneel on her feet. Adam felt his blood boil. He slept with many women before, but hiding in a narrow alleyway felt so sexy to Adam. Maybe because he loves the rush of adrenaline. He slowly moved his waist backward to avoid letting Agatha know he was getting a b*ner. Adam took
Agatha’s POV When I saw the scar on his chest, the first person I thought of was Mikhail. ‘His father abused him when he was young with a cigarette butt.’ My mind was drifting far away while buying groceries in the Supermarket. It was surprising to meet Mr. Adam. But I couldn’t help thinking about what Sebastian and Dominic talked about before. [“Why don’t you forget Agatha? She’s not in our league anyway. I heard that she was living like a beggar after her father's death. We don’t need a beggar in our circle, Sebastian. Didn’t you hear what happened to her and Mikhail? They broke up and…”] I didn’t hear the rest of it because Mr. Adam covered my ears. Although I hate Mr. Adam, I was sincerely thankful. It would be so unbearable for me to hear how Sebastian answered Dominic. He was my precious best friend. But I knew staying away from him was the best choice. ‘I can’t meet him now in this messy situation.’ I shook my head and tried to focus on my job. ‘Sir Lanceil
Third Person’s POV Lanceil went home feeling tired. He would go straight to his bed and nap before showering. But when he went inside his condominium, he forgot the fatigue. The shock made him feel so alive as he stared at his maid and brother lying on the sofa. “What the hell is this?” Lanceil asked. Agatha and Vincent looked back at him in unison. Agatha’s wet eyes widened while Vincent remained nonchalant. “S-Sir!” Agatha gasped. He pushed Vincent away, and the two of them stood up. Agatha wiped her eyes and stared at the stunned Lanceil. ‘I have to seduce Lanceil, but he caught me lying on the sofa with his brother. Great! I will look like a bitch!’ Agatha complained inwardly. “Oh, brother. You are here,” Vincent greeted casually. Agatha could not believe how he could play it cool when she was trembling in anxiousness. Lanceil finally closed his mouth. He looked alternately at the two before his voice returned. “What did you do to my maid?” Fortunately, it se
