sneak a drug or two into his sustenance. She suffered through the old man’s huffs and grunts until he was spent. For a man his age, he seems to be quite virile, no surprise there considering his rumored bastards all over the place although he denies them all. There was only one true heir for him, his missing grandson. Everyone is at a loss except her. She was able to read his journal while he was fast asleep, if only she could steal that journal as her bargaining chip when her time with him is up. She knew women before her were given a week and then let go before their last day. She doesn’t know if she is unlucky as tomorrow is supposed to be her last day but the don is in no hurry to let her go. He keeps saying, she is his favorite so far. He may look frail but when it comes to satisfying his lust, he is very, very strong much to her annoyance. If only he would collapse after, then everybody would be happy. After suffering his depraved attentions and faking her responses, the don finally collapsed sated and content for the moment. As soon as he started snoring, she quickly got up and rushed to the bathroom cleaning
herself and throwing up. Nobody in this community is safe from him specially the women. Having younger sisters, she tried to shield them from him as much as she could. She arranged passage for them to be taken as far away as possible. It was just her bad luck that the don spotted her dancing during a feast and was instantly taken to his villa. Her parents couldn’t do anything or else they would be banished from their community. Having lost her innocence to a young man previously, she felt she has nothing to lose besides her dignity. She will suffer the old man’s attentions until he gets bored with her but she isn’t foolish to escape. Call her vain but she also enjoys the luxury afforded her in this villa. She could always get herself pregnant but the chance of a baby tainted with an evil blood is so much a risk so high.
