Chapter 1

In The Club

ZOE is a graduating college student from Manhattan. She's a scholar of a well-known company that deals with cars. She lives in four corners of a small apartment with her mother, Iris.

Iris works every night at the nearby club as a pole dancer and a court for the upper-class—billionaires, politicians, and the like. People address her as an ultimate 'courtesan' because she's been targeting high profiles.

Zoe even gets bullied because of her mother's job. Despite this, she mastered ignoring everything. Her mother may not have a decent job, but she still loves her, and no one can change that.

“Zoe…” her mom called her name, and she stopped doing her homework.

Since their apartment costs cheap, she could easily hear voices outside her room. She then walked towards the door and opened it. She looked at her mom from head to toe, and she dressed seductively for her work again.

“Have you finished your homework already?” her mom asked.

She shook her head. “Not yet.”

Her mother's lips formed an 'O'.

"Why?"

"I'm gonna ask if you want to go to the club and chill since it's Friday, " her mom asserted and fixed her dress, especially in the bust area, where the cleavage of her boobies was flaunted.

"I'll just continue it then tomorrow," she replied. "Give me five minutes," she added, making her mom smile and nod.

"Hmm..."

She frowned slightly and looked into her mom's eyes. It seems like her mom wants to add something or say something.

"Ma?" she snapped out.

"Ah…" her mom cleared her throat, "—w-wear something sexy, okay ," she stuttered.

Zoe arched her brow. "Why?"

Her mom flashed a smile on her face again. "Just."

Zoe then heaved a deep sigh and nod.

"Wait for me," she said before closing the door.

She heaved a deep sigh as she walked toward her small wooden cabinet. She opened it and roamed her eyes inside. “Wear something sexy?” she whispered, “—but I don't have any sexy dress,” she added. She laughs . Most of her clothes were shirts and jeans. She is not fond of dresses. She prefers loose shirts. Sometimes she wears a skirt, but she makes sure that it reaches her knee. She will never wear any revealing clothes nor try one.

“ Mom! I don't have any of…” the door of her room opened, “those,” she whispered the last word as she faced her mom.

Her mom approaches her while holding a black off-the-shoulder dress. “Sorry , sweetie. I forgot you don't have any sexy clothes," she said and flashed a wide smile.

She arched her left brow as she reached for the dress. “I am taller than you, mom. And this is…” she lifts the dress to scan it, “—too short for me,” she added as she looked at Iris.

Iris smiled. "You should try it—"

"And why do I need to dress like this? We go to clubs or bars, but this is the first time that I will wear this…" she glanced at the dress once again, " —kind of dress.”

Iris let out a soft chuckle. “Sweetie, we will be going to attend a party.”

Zoe arched her brow. “In a club?”

Iris nominee. “My last client invited me to attend his son's 28th birthday."

She arched her brow. "I thought we're gonna chill—"

"Of course, with free drinks, since it's a party," Iris interrupted and let out a disturbing chuckle.

She wearing nod. "I see. But it's fine if I don't wear this, right? It's not that I will join you and the rest. I will just have some drinks on the counter," she said, trying to avoid this soul-chasing dress.

Iris crossed her arms in front of her chest. “Zoe…” okay, her mother already uses her warning tone. But there's no way she would wear a kind of dress like this.

"You knew I don't wear this kind of stuff."

Iris heaved a deep sigh and approached her. She cupped her face as she looked up at her.

"Look, sweetie, can you do this for mommy, just this time?"

Zoe met her mom's eyes and her forehead slightly knitted. Her eyes were confused, and her heart started to feel doubt, and fear suddenly lingers inside her.

She doesn't know—she doesn't want to overthink it, but she has a bad feeling about it.

WHEN they took a cab towards the club where her mother usually goes for work, her mom seemed bothered—it looked like something was bothering her.

Zoe held her mom's hand and pressed it, and she felt that it was cold. "Ma, is everything fine? You seem unwell—" she didn't finish her words when her mom tapped her hand and flashed a smile.

"I'm okay. Nothing to worry about," Iris replied.

Zoe heaved deep sigh and nod. She didn't let go of her mom's hand until they reached the club.

Iris paid for their fare before they got out of the car . She smiled at her again when they walked towards the entrance, making Zoe frown.

“Ma, your smile is creeping the hell out of me,” she uttered. Her mom doesn't usually smile or laugh. She's a busy woman during the day and night. When she comes home, Zoe is already asleep. And when she went to school, her mother had already left.

So, she knew, and she strongly felt something was bothering her mom.

However, she chooses to stay silent when they enter the club.

The loud music welcomed them. As usual, the club ambiance is still the same. The first floor is the dance floor and the bar counter, while the second floor is the VIPs areas, and the last floor, which is the third floor, is full of rooms—at least there were ten.

She's been in this club about four times now, and she can't pinpoint any changes. Except for those men who are outside. She hasn't seen those men in tuxedos. And what are they doing there?

Well, she doesn't mind. All she needs is to have some drink at least. And at the moment, she wanted to change her dress already. Her body was too exposed with her dress. Her cleavage can be seen if she pulls the hem a little bit.

She cursed under her breath when a hand touched her exposed legs while walking toward the stairs.

She glared at the man who was now staring at her like a pervert and got closer to her mom.

Iris saw it and drove the man away. “Sorry about that, sweetie.”

“Ma, he just runs his fingers into my left leg,” she complained, but her voice was in control.

Iris smiled. "No one can harm you here. Trust me. My client is too powerful. If I tell him that they touch you, that man will be dead—"

"What are you saying, Ma?" Zoe asked as confusion lit her eyes.

Iris' eyes widened. "Oh—it's nothing, sweetie. Come on, and the party is upstairs. They must be waiting for us," she said, which drew lines into Zoe's forehead.

They were on the last step of the stairs when Farah's eyes widened because of surprise. She was about to turn around, but her mom grabbed her in the arm, making her step forward.

"Ma..."

"I'm sorry, sweetie," her mom uttered as she grabbed Zoe by the arm again, and they walked towards the single couch where a man in his seventies was sitting, and a pipe was in between his lips.

Zoe started to feel fear when her mom's grip tightened on her arm as she pushed her.

“Ma… what are you doing—”

“Come on, sweetie. Please, behave,” her mom muttered.

“B-But, Ma,” she forced her feet to stop, but her mom pulled her again. “Ma… what are you doing!” her voice roared.

“Zoe, I told you to behave—”

“What are we doing in front of a murderer? And where's the party?!" Zoe shouted as she glanced at the older man.

"That person sitting on the black couch was the one who

killed the President—"

"Shut up, Zoe. Just follow me, please…" her mom pleaded, and when Zoe met her eyes, she saw fear in them.

Iris pushed her forward and let her go.

Zoe shot a glare in her mom's direction. Suddenly two men went to her side and pointed their guns at her. She trembles in fear as tears fall down her cheeks. She glanced at her mom, and her vision started to blur.

"Why? " she whispered.

However, her mom didn't give her answers.

Iris faces the old man. "As promised, here she is. She's clean and pure. She's also at the right age—"

"Mom!" Zoe exclaimed when she got the idea of ​​​​what was going on. “How could you do this….”

No one dared to answer her. She wiped her tears as she glanced at the gun on her right. She choked back tears when the man dipped the gun's muzzle into her arm. Her sobs got louder until a deep voice ruined the tension on the second floor.

"Dad. What's the meaning of this?"

He Bought Her
A MAN in a gray polo and black trouser butt in, and then he walked towards the old man, whom he called 'dad.'"Helios, son," the old man greeted as he stood up. A sly smile crept into the old man's lips."What are you doing here, dad? And what are these people doing here?" the guy named Helios uttered as he stopped his gaze on Zoe."You're doing it again?!" Helios' booming voice roared on the corners. He walked closer to his dad and grabbed the old man by his collar. "I'm warning you! Don't you dare tint my place with your schemes!” he asserted.Instead of answering, Helios' dad let out a devilish laugh."Let them go, dad," Helios asserted once again.The old man's devilish smile is still drawn to his lips as he equaled Helios' death stares.“I will if…” he paused, which made Helios clench his jaw. “Well, I will let the young lady go—”"Both of them. Let them go," Helios said.“No. The older one needs to pay debts to me—”"I am clear, dad. Let them go!" Helios shouted, making the old

Kiss and Touch
WHEN Zoe’s lips met his lips, a bomb suddenly exploded inside her. The kiss is familiar, and so is his touch. She knew that her body recognized it.He was the man whom she let have her that night two years ago. She can’t forget that tribal tattoo design covering his left chest and shoulder. The room that night is dim, but the tattoo shines through the dark.She was sure that he was the man who took her virginity—yes, she lost it that night. It was clear as snow, but it was the memory she tried to forget. She was drunk. However, she still remembers what she did. She was at the counter at that time while waiting for her mom. She remembered clearly how she pulled the guy that passed by in front of her and suddenly kissed him. It was supposed to be a peck, but the guy caught her lips again.She opened her eyes at the moment and pushed Helios away. Her chest was heavy panting while she stared at him.“Now, you remembered me,” he said, and a smile formed on his lips.“W-Why you didn’t tell

She Wants Him
Zoe awoke beside Helios the following morning. Naked. She shook her head as she locked her gaze on Helios, who was sleeping peacefully beside her.She questioned herself at this point: how did she get in here?She was a typical college student who was only concerned with her studies and her mother. Her mother, whom she adores, attempted to sell her to a man—a murderous devil.However, how could she be certain Helios is not a mirror image of his father?Zoe sighed and was about to descend when she felt a warmth draw her.“Hey.”When she felt Helios’s breath land on her bare neck, she closed her eyes. She sighed as she turned to face him.Zoe smiled as she locked eyes with Helios. “Hey.”“I apologize for last night—”“No,” she said, shaking her head. “You are not required to be sorry. We both desired it,” she continued.Helios smiled and kissed her temple softly. His hands caressed her right cheek.“I’m reluctant to claim you, but I can’t help myself—”“I understand,” Zoe sighed. “Belie

She's Unaware
THE following day, Zoe awoke early to prepare breakfast. She was aware that Nana Milky was present, but she insisted on completing the task on her own.“Have you seen Helios, Nana?” she inquired as she prepared to cut the white onions.Nana greeted her with a smile. “He departed at the crack of dawn. H he will be on a week-long business trip.”Zoe paused in her onion cutting and looked at Nana, baffled. She spent the entire day yesterday with Helios. As she was afraid to leave the house—prior to what happened recently—she chose to play board games after discovering a chessboard in the living room.How come Helios failed to inform her?“Didn’t he inform you?”Zoe sighed and gave a faint smile. She examined the onions that had been chopped. “No. Hmm... well, it’s his business,” she replied, her voice a little somber.Nana Milky approached her and took her hand in hers. “I’m certain he’ll call. Helios is always this way when he embarks on a journey.”Zoe pursed her lips and gave a slight

His Fiancé
"IS that Zoe the commoner?”“Wow, she’s hot, dude!”“A commoner is always a commoner. Even if she wears luxury clothes.”“Right.”Zoe is aware that the people are eyeing her. Murmuring about her.Well, who wouldn’t?She was known to be the commoner. She has been bullied ever since because of her mother. But all of these, she tends to ignore.And she was quite aware that her entrance, with the two men beside her, walking with her, would literally catch attention.She stopped walking and faced the man on her right. “Maybe it would be best if you would wait for me in the parking lot? I know you understand my situation,” she said and smiled. However, she got no response.She looked to her left, and still, the other man had no response.‘Seriously?’ she thought.“Look, sir. You will put me in trouble if you don’t stay away—”“We need to follow sir Lincoln’s order, ma’am. I’m sorry,” finally the man on her right talked.Zoe pinched the bridge of her nose to calm herself. Afterward, she wand

His Identity
ZOE was surprised when she woke up one morning. Helios was there, sitting beside her, and she bet he was staring at her, who-knows-when.It was a hell week for Zoe, dealing with other bullies, but she admits it and is beyond grateful because the queen, Mira Riverdale, was there to save her ass.“Hey,” Helios uttered and smiled at her.Zoe couldn’t still believe the things happening between them were too swift and seemed temporary.She moved herself up and leaned on the headboard, never leaving Helios’s gaze.“Since when did you arrive?”Helios crept a playful smirk on his lips. “Just this morning.”Zoe pressed her lips and sighed. “And how long have you been staring at me?”Helios let out a soft chuckle. “You have no idea—”“Just answer me, Helios. And I am not up for a joke.”Helios’s forehead creased and sat properly. “What’s with you, baby? Did I do something wrong?”Zoe took a deep breath and sighed. “I don’t know,” she shook her head, “—all of these seem so unreal, and it shouldn

Warning and Coldness
“CONGRATULATIONS, ZOE!” Nana Milky greeted Zoe as she exited the stage.Zoe gave the elderly lady a genuine smile and hugged her. She then walked over to her mother, who was crying and standing on Nana Milky’s back.Iris couldn’t help but cry as she watched her daughter walk across the stage to receive her awards and diploma. Words can’t describe how proud and happy she was.“Mom…”Iris shook her head, and she couldn’t stop thinking about what happened a few weeks ago. She regretted everything, and she was grateful that Zoe had allowed her to attend her graduation.“Please accept my apologies—”“Shh…” Zoe rushed up to her and tightly hugged her. “—don’t blame yourself, mom,” she released her grip and smiled. “We all commit mistakes, and I forgave you. And all I ask is that you promise me one thing...”Iris bit her lower lip as she fixed her gaze on her daughter. She took Zoe’s hand in hers and squeezed it tightly as she met her gaze. “Please tell me, honey.”Zoe cracked a grin. “Promi

The Job Offer
A FEW days after Zoe’s graduation, she decided to look for a job that suited her knowledge. The thing was, Nana knew about it, so she did tell Helios, and here she is, sitting in front of him while the man was staring at her.Zoe doesn’t know how to react, but she finds it awkward. She knew that Helios had confessed last time, and she rudely responded with it. She bit her lower lip and hemmed to clear her throat, catching Helios’s senses.“Uhm, is there anything wrong?” she asked.They were just a few distances away from each other, sitting in Helios’s living room, and she did hear his deep sigh.It seems like something is bothering him.“What’s wrong?” she asked once again.Helios took a deep breath once again and sighed. “I want to ask you one last time about—”“If this is about your proposal. I apologize, but I can’t give you what you want. I am still young and full of dreams, Helios. I am sorry.”Helios scoffed and arched his brow. “I see. I understand. I will not mention it once
