Daphne's heart pounded as she stared at the brothel. She turned to leave. Then her phone buzzed.[Unknown number: Pay your father's debt. Don't test our patience, or you'll regret it.]Seconds later, another message arrived. This time, it came with a photo.[Unknown number: This is what happens when you take us lightly.]Daphne covered her mouth. The loan shark had sent her a photo of her father, badly beaten. She stared at the photo, trembling as tears slipped down her cheeks. She no longer knew how far they would go. With no other choice, she stepped into the building."Take off all your clothes," ordered Madam Rosaline, the owner of the high-end brothel where Daphne had come to apply for a job.Daphne swallowed hard. Her fingers tightened around her jeans.Seeing that Daphne remained frozen, Rosaline approached her and began unbuttoning her shirt herself.

Rosaline gently lifted Daphne's chin with the tip of her finger. "My decision has nothing to do with him. I just don't think you belong in a place like this.""I understand."
