I tried to scream, but the second blow caught me squarely on the temple. The room tilted, the dirty ceiling spinning until it blurred into a grey fog. As my eyes drifted shut, I saw them, my parents smiling triumphantly, discussing which drugs they'll buy next after they were paid.

They had already turned back to their drugs, stepping over my limp body as if I were nothing more than a piece of trash they’d finally managed to take to the curb.

If I knew this is how my life would end, like I wouldn't have bothered to work two jobs. I wouldn't have sacrificed my youth for them.

I would have tried to live life to the fullest. I once thought that, after my degree, I would get a good job and send them to rehabilitation. But now, I knew that was far from impossible.

The darkness was heavy.

It wasn't the soft sleep of exhaustion; it was the thick, suffocating unconsciousness of trauma. When I finally dragged my eyes open, the first thing I felt wasn't pain. It was the cold that was biting into my arms.

A bone-deep, ancient chill that vibrated through the stone floor beneath me.

I tried to lift my hand to my throbbing head to check my injury but a sharp clink stopped me.

My breath hitched as I turned to look at my other hand.

Both of my hands where shackled with heavy chains. I wasn't in my bedroom. I wasn't even in the apartment and that told me that whatever memories running through my head wasn't a dream but the reality thta, I have being sold.

The air tasted of salt, damp earth, and the metallic tang of old blood.

I blinked, my vision slowly adjusting to the dim, flickering light of a torch somewhere down a corridor. I was in a cage.

My fingers shook as I slammed a jagged stone against the heavy padlock.

Clang. Clang.

The sound echoed through the damp corridor, a rhythmic scream of metal on metal that yielded nothing.

"Please," I sobbed, my breath hitching in the salty air. "Please, just break."

In a moment of jagged desperation, I reached for the one thing I had kept hidden, the heavy pin holding up my waist-length hair. I had promised myself that I would never let it down, never reveal the "bewitching" beauty my parents had their eyes on some time ago. With a sharp tug, the pins came free.

My hair cascaded down my back like a veil of dark silk, shimmering even in the gloom.

I jammed the pin into the lock, twisting with a frantic, raw energy until it clicked. I had learned how to pick locks when my parents...no egg and sperm donor started locking me outside of the apartment.

I didn't wait. I scrambled out of the cage, bare feet slapping against the cold nasty floor. I ran until my lungs burned, my eyes fixed on a sliver of light at the end of the hall and I was almost there.

Suddenly, a massive hand shot out from my

peripheral view.

"Where do you think you're going, little bitch?"

A burly guard wrenched me back by my hair. I let out a choked cry as my back hit the stone wall with a sickening crack. But the adrenaline was a frozen fire in my veins; I felt no pain, only fury. As the man leaned in, I lunged forward, burying my fist in his gut and driving my knee into his crotch with everything I had.

The man wheezed, dropping to his knees, but before I could bolt, a second guard stepped out behind me.

Before I could scream, he snapped something heavy and metallic around my neck.

BZZZT.

I collapsed, my muscles seizing as a high-voltage shock tore through me.

"Easy now," the second guard taunted, hovering over me with a cruel smirk. "You’ve got fire. That’ll up the price, but it makes you a pain in my ass."

"Let me go!" I hissed, my eyes blazing with a primal rage. "You're monsters! All of you! Let me out! I will report you guys to the police authorities."

"HAahahah....police? Do you think this is the legal world? This is a black auction market sweetheart.

And besides, your parents sold you. You are really useless if your parents can't even stand you. And to think they sold you for just $100,000? Truly pathetic. They couldn't wait to get you away from them" He cruelly said, the words sinking deep into my bones.

I had almost forgotten where I was but that wasn't going to stop me because I am no one's little bitch.

"FUCK YOU...DOUBLE FUCK YOU. GIVING HOW MUCH UGLY YOU ARE, I AM SURE YOUR WIFE HAS DIVORCED YOU AND LEFT FOR A BETTER MAN. ONE WHO WOULDN'T ABUSE HER DAY AND NIGHT. IF I AM PATHETIC, THEN YOU ARE WORSE. I'M SURE YOU CAN'T EVEN SATISFY HER LOOKING AT YOUR SMALL LIMP DICK TUCKED AWAY IN YOUR BOXERS BECAUSE OF SHAME"

  • THE BILLION-DOLLAR NANNY OF THE MAFIA KING   PHYSICAL STARVATION

    The heavy silence following my cold statement filled the private study. Kade stared at my face for a long time, and he did not try to offer a hollow apology. He knew his actions erased my former life in the hospital, so he accepted the harsh reality of my words without starting an argument. He turned his attention back to the silver laptop and opened the live tracking network."We will start with a small target today," Kade said, typing a few commands to bring up a new financial map on the screen. "A local smuggling ring operates out of the southern harbor, and they use a basic digital proxy to hide their port fees. See if you can isolate their main account."I pulled the keyboard closer to my edge of the desk. I focused my eyes on the bright monitor and began typing the search parameters we practiced earlier. We worked together for several hours while the sun went down outside the locked windows. The room grew very dark, leaving only the blue glow of the computer to illuminate the ma

  • THE BILLION-DOLLAR NANNY OF THE MAFIA KING   DIGITAL HUNT

    The bright blue light of the laptop screen illuminated the dark mahogany desk. Numbers and complex code scrolled across the monitor at a rapid pace while Kade watched my fingers hover over the keyboard. We sat shoulder to shoulder in the quiet study, but a massive emotional wall stood between us."The rival syndicates do not carry briefcases filled with cash across the border anymore," Kade explained, pointing to a flashing red line of text on the monitor. "They move millions of dollars through encrypted offshore accounts in a matter of seconds. If we want to dismantle their operations, we have to find where they hide their money.""And you find their money by tracking the digital footprint of the transfer," I stated, reading the active commands on the screen."Exactly," Kade confirmed, his deep voice carrying a tone of strict professionalism. He treated me like a serious student instead of a captive wife. "Every single time a user logs into a banking server, they leave a tiny trace o

  • THE BILLION-DOLLAR NANNY OF THE MAFIA KING   BLUEPRINT OF CAGE

    I walked around the massive mahogany desk and sat down in the heavy leather chair. Kade took his own seat right next to me. The physical proximity hit me hard, for we had not sat this close to each other since the morning of the surgery.He kept his hands firmly on his side of the desk, respecting the strict physical boundary I established. He did not lean toward me, nor did he try to brush his arm against mine. Yet the quiet tension in the room felt heavy. I could feel the heat radiating from his broad shoulders, and I knew my presence tortured him."This is the main server portal," Kade began, turning the silver laptop so we both had a clear view of the bright screen. He typed a long string of numbers into the password box. "We use a legitimate international shipping logistics company to mask the movement of our private cargo. On the surface, the company transports heavy machinery and commercial textiles across Europe and North America.""And underneath the surface?" I asked, keepin

  • THE BILLION-DOLLAR NANNY OF THE MAFIA KING   BOARDROOM BOUNDARIES

    Three weeks passed since the heavy delivery boxes arrived at the estate. I spent every single day sitting on the living room sofa, reading the massive textbooks from cover to cover. The dense academic material gave my mind a sharp focus, and the complex coding languages offered a welcome distraction from the quiet isolation of the house.I learned how digital firewalls blocked unauthorized users from accessing private networks, and I memorized the intricate rules of data encryption. I studied the tactical urban survival guides until the thick paper pages became wrinkled from my constant touch. Reading the books was very helpful, but the theoretical knowledge was no longer enough for me.I needed to see a real computer system. Reading about security architecture on a printed page felt very different from looking at a live network screen. The massive stone walls of the estate made me feel suffocated, and I refused to waste my days acting as a passive trophy wife. I wanted practical expe

  • THE BILLION-DOLLAR NANNY OF THE MAFIA KING   PREPARING FOR WAR

    Three days passed in quiet tension. The pain in my back faded enough for me to walk around the house without wincing, so I spent my morning waiting in the front living room. I sat on the edge of the soft gray sofa and watched the long driveway through the tall windows.A large white delivery truck pulled up to the heavy iron gates just before noon.The armed guards stopped the vehicle to inspect the cargo. They checked the driver's manifest and opened the back of the truck to ensure the packages were safe. Kade maintained very strict security protocols, and nobody entered the estate without his explicit permission.I stood up from the sofa when the heavy front doors of the house finally opened. Nick walked inside carrying two large, plain cardboard boxes. His thick arms strained under the massive weight of the packages. Another security guard followed right behind him, carrying a third heavy box.Kade stepped out of his private study when he heard the commotion in the foyer. He wore a

  • THE BILLION-DOLLAR NANNY OF THE MAFIA KING   UNRESTRICTED ACCESS

    My body continued to heal from the invasive surgery, and the sharp pain in my hips faded into a dull ache that only bothered me when I walked too fast. I settled into a very strict daily routine to maintain my sanity inside the massive estate.I spent every single afternoon outside in the gardens with Amy. The bright sun warmed our skin, and we played on the new wooden swing set Kade bought for her birthday. I pushed her higher into the air, listening to her loud, happy giggles echo across the green lawn. She was getting stronger every day. The dark circles under her eyes vanished, and she possessed a boundless amount of energy thanks to the healthy bone marrow rebuilding her immune system."Push me higher, Amelia!" Amy cheered, kicking her small feet toward the blue sky."Hold onto the ropes tightly," I warned her with a soft smile, and I gave her back a gentle push.I loved spending time with her. She anchored me to reality and gave me a solid reason to endure the locked doors of th
