Mag-log inI got a security job in an upscale neighborhood. One day, I got a call from a resident. “I think there’s been a break-in.” I rushed to the scene. Instead of an intruder, I was greeted by a beautiful woman in barely anything. She held me and pleaded, “I’m scared. Can you stay with me?”

I didn’t know how Emmy did it.However, Hannah disappeared from the world without a trace. No family came to give their last goodbyes. It was as if she had never existed. I didn’t feel sad in the slightest. Now that I was back at work, I often showed up in several villas. The residents loved me, some even taking their arrangement with me seriously. Claire from Villa No. 2 expressed her thoughts about eloping with me. I told Emmy about it, prompting an immediate reproach on Claire. Emmy’s trust in me grew, and I was tasked with more responsibilities. Slowly but gradually, I learned about the founder of the Caged Canary community. I also found out about Emmy’s past. Emmy was the previous resident of Villa No. 1. Due to her age, she stepped down from her active role. She told
After that day, I cut off all contact with Hannah. Even when she invited me to Villa No. 3, I declined. One reason was to protect my sad ego. I had also gone back and reviewed the job contract. There were indeed some absurd job requirements buried in the contract. I was expected to relieve the needs of the residents when required. It blew my mind. When I contacted Emmy about the contract, she gave me a look of disdain. “What? Do you actually think you lost out?“You’ve met these ladies. You’re clearly out of their league. “The idea of this whole thing started because they couldn’t leave the place.“If you can’t cut it, quit now.” The residents couldn’t leave the place. It sank in right there and then how things didn’t add up in the neighborhood. I had never come across male residents around the area, nor were the residents ever seen leaving the neighborhood. I suspected they were trapped in the community.Emmy read my mind. She patted my shoulder with a sco
Sparing me the details, Emmy simply told me to do my job. “If you want out, I can release you with one month of wages.” I fell silent for a bit before shaking my head. There was no way I could find another job paying 30 thousand dollars a month. Besides, I hadn’t figured out what was up with Hannah. My tone was bitter. “Who was that man, Emmy?” Hannah pretended not to know me in the man’s presence. She called the man Daddy. I doubted a father would fondle his daughter. Emmy was a bit frustrated with me. “I thought you were smarter than this. You sure are naïve. “You’re a college grad. I’m sure you can figure out what an older man and a younger woman have in common.“Wise up. At least you got something out of it.” She kicked me peevishly. “You’re relieved for tonight. I’m giving you tomorrow off, too.” I went back to my dorm in a daze. I lay in bed, tossing and turning. Later that night, I snuck back to Villa No. 3.The Maybach was still there. It to
I dreamed of this moment since I first met Hannah. It never occurred to me that my fantasy would come true so soon. One night was all it took to bring me and Hannah close together. In the days to come, we often hung out at her villa. We couldn’t keep our hands off each other, only exploring our chemistry within the privacy of the villa. Whenever I tried to express my feelings to her, she would change the subject. “We’re happy, aren’t we? Isn’t that good enough, Brook? “Why bother with labels?”She appeared hesitant to commit to a relationship with me. I was frustrated, but deep down, I was aware of the gap between us. Hannah lived in a villa and enjoyed the finest things in life. I was just a fresh graduate, trying to find my feet. That was when we came to an unspoken agreement. I asked nothing about her life; she didn’t dig into mine. We simply savored the present and enjoyed each other’s company. As always, I was making my way to Villa No. 3 one day after m
