"Where are you taking me, Lukas?! Let me go!" Valerie screamed.
"SHUT UP! Just do as I say. Your mother is gone, so you need to be useful to me!" hissed Lukas, Valerie's stepfather. A week after the death of Valerie's biological mother, Lukas cruelly planned to use Valerie as a tool to pay off his debt by selling her.
Both of Valerie's hands were tied as Lukas dragged her by force to a nightclub. Valerie was terrified because she didn't know what would happen inside. Lukas still hid his true intentions from her, letting her find out only when she met the man who would buy her.
Lukas gripped Valerie's face as they were about to enter the nightclub, his gaze sharp. "Behave, so you can make a lot of money for me!"
"What are you going to do to me? Let go, I don't want this!" Vale growled in fear as Lukas continued dragging her into the nightclub. Valerie kept resisting, which only made Lukas angrier.
Slap! Lukas struck Valerie.
"SHUT UP! I already told you to be quiet, Vale! Or you'll get more than just a slap. Listen, even though I'm your stepfather, you still have to obey what I want! If you want to blame someone, blame your mother!" Lukas hissed, a sinister smile curling on his lips.
"I don't want this... Father? You don't deserve to be called a father-not even a stepfather! You're more suited to be called a bastard!" Vale shouted back fiercely, her eyes filled with hatred toward Lukas-her stepfather. "Let me go! You have no right over me!"
Valerie was truly furious. She regretted going to that house. She never imagined Lukas would do something so cruel to her. No wonder her mother had never allowed her to visit. Valerie had lived separately from her mother, in a small apartment on the outskirts of the city.
After calming herself and accepting her mother's death, Vale grew suspicious of her biological mother's sudden passing. But she knew she couldn't accuse anyone without proof. So Vale decided to search for evidence in the house where her mother-Louisa-and Lukas once lived. But instead of finding evidence, Valerie was greeted by Lukas's sly smile.
And now Vale found herself in a nightclub, dragged into a VIP room where several men in black welcomed them. Lukas looked pleased; the transaction he planned would likely proceed smoothly.
But Valerie felt the opposite-more alert, more afraid-wondering what Lukas was really planning.
In the VIP room, a man sat casually with his legs crossed, smoking a cigarette as smoke curled around him. Several expensive bottles of alcohol were neatly arranged on the table.
Valerie immediately realized one thing: this man was someone highly respected. So many guards, and Lukas showing him such respect.
The man smiled when Lukas brought a beautiful woman. Lukas had fulfilled his promise. As if he knew exactly what the man-James-liked.
"Sir, I brought you a woman I'm sure you'll like," Lukas said politely.
"You really did keep your promise, Lukas." The man's voice was cold, his gaze flat as he stared at Vale with a smirk that sent fear through her.
Who is this man? Vale whispered to herself.
"So, does that mean my debt is paid off, Mr. James?" Lukas asked cautiously.
"Debt?" Vale hissed, and Lukas only smiled at her.
James continued staring at Valerie with a gaze full of desire, as if he wanted to touch her immediately.
"You used me as payment for your debt, Lukas? For what reason would I allow that?!" Vale snapped. Lukas didn't answer-he only smiled, satisfied that his massive debt would disappear. "You bastard, filthy bastard! I refuse! I won't do it! Let me go! Sir, I have no connection to him. Please, let me go!" Vale struggled, refusing to become a tool for Lukas to clear his debt.
"Stop resisting, Vale! Behave!" Lukas growled as Vale tried to run.
"I sent the money to your account as a bonus, and this woman belongs to me entirely," James said, making Valerie's eyes widen.
"Thank you, Mr. James. You're truly understanding. However, Vale will resist-you'll need to watch her closely. Make sure she's tied up so she can't escape. And don't worry, my stepdaughter is still a virgin, and of course, Vale is entirely yours," Lukas said before leaving the VIP room, ignoring Valerie's desperate struggles to free herself from Lukas's mess and the transaction that ruined her.
"Miss Valerie... You're truly beautiful, but you still need a bit of polish to look better, so you can satisfy me," James said with a sly smile. "Prepare her. I want to enjoy her body tonight," he ordered his right-hand subordinate.
Valerie's body trembled-she was terrified. She didn't want to end up in the hands of the cruel man before her. Vale kept resisting, screaming for help, begging to be freed from James's clutches, but it was all useless.
"Be quiet, Miss, unless you want us to hit you. You don't want your body covered in bruises, do you? If that happens, Mr. James will only make it worse. He hates seeing his women bruised before he uses them." A woman assigned to prepare Valerie approached with a cold stare. She warned Valerie not to anger James further, or the consequences would be severe.
"I don't care. I'd rather die than become a toy for that bastard!" Vale growled.
The woman smirked, annoyed yet amused that a woman dared to resist this much. "Miss, you're making this difficult. This process will take too long, and I don't want to make Mr. James wait any longer. So I'll have to do this to you! Bring her. And remember, not a single scratch on her body. If she resists, inject her with the sedative!"
A syringe was plunged into Valerie's arm. Her consciousness slowly faded.
"Lukas, you bastard..." Valerie cursed silently as darkness consumed her.
Valerie's eyelids slowly opened, she circulated her gaze to every corner of the room, now she realized she was in a room.
Valerie tried to get up, but her hands were tied to both sides of the corner of the bed.
Valerie growled in annoyance, "damn... I have to get out of this place."
Valerie tried to pull the rope that tied her, but it was difficult, the rope was tied so tightly that she could only growl in annoyance.
The woman who had previously prepared Valerie, smiled faintly when she saw Valerie trying to untie her hands. With slow steps, the woman approached, making Valerie look intently at herself.
"Don't waste your energy, Miss. It would be a waste, no one ever escaped Mr. James. You are truly beautiful, Mr. James, you will definitely like you very much, your body is very beautiful, Miss Valerie."
Valerie froze, she knew very well what would happen to her, she didn't want to, her life had to end in the arms of an evil man. James probably treated him as a slave to his passions. Valerie looked at the woman in hatred, her eyes were red, her tears suddenly came out, making the woman annoyed.
"Don't cry, you will ruin your makeup," he said without feeling guilty. The woman then took out a syringe, which made Valerie alert, but she couldn't run anyway because her hands were tied. "You will love Mr. Jamas' game, Miss Valerie..."
"Fuck, what did you inject me with?!" Valerie screams in anger, her body rebels but does not make the injection fail, the medicine enters slowly into Valerie's body. The woman smiled, not caring about Valerie's anger.
"Be nice, so that you will be nice to you too." After saying that, the woman left Valerie alone.
"Please let me go, I don't want to be treated like this!" Valerie continued to scream begging him to leave that place. But no one heard it.
The medicine that was injected into Valerie is slowly starting to be felt by her...
His heart was beating, the air in the room was starting to feel hot, but the sensation on his skin felt different. There was a subtle vibration that felt faintly on his skin, creeping from the tip of his fingers to the nape of his neck. His breathing began to gasp slowly, not because he was tired but because something was bothering his body.
The sound of the door opening and the sound of steps sounding slowly approaching him, James now looked at Valerie passionately, he unbuttoned his shirts one by one, without taking off his eyes at Valerie, as if admiring Valerie's body which looked beautiful to her.
Valerie stares fiercely at James "Let me go, asshole! what are you going to do to me, don't touch me! I don't want to be touched by you!"
Valerie tries to defend herself, when she sees looking at him passionately.
Valerie was really scared, angry, but there was nothing she could do.
"You're really rude, Miss. But I like it," said James, sly smile
"Go away, bastard! don't touch me!" Valerie continued to curse, she really didn't want to end up being a despicable woman.
Valerie's tears dripped, making James look sadly at Valerie. "Don't cry, I really hate seeing it. Valerie, I promise you will love my game."
"No... don't touch me!" shouted Valerie, rejecting what James was going to do. But James didn't care, the man couldn't wait to touch the woman in front of him.
James' hands begin to touch Valerie's feet, making Valerie tremble, as if liking James' gentle touch from his toes to his thighs.
"Look, you like it, Vale." James smiled slylyly.
"Medicine ... what medicine did you give me?" Vale asked, his voice shaking, because he felt a strange sensation within him.
"Medicine?' James shook his head. "It's something that will take you to heaven..." whispered James next to Valerie's ear.
James got up and untied Valerie's hand, James wanted Valerie to be able to move freely, when touched by him. Valerie's hands were now gone, Valerie rebelled, tried to avoid it, and ran away from James, but it was all in vain.
Valerie's body felt weak, her knees shook, and seemed to want a touch that calmed her. James, with his sly smile, began to touch Valerie, from top to bottom, bringing her back to bed until Valerie's body unknowingly liked every touch James made.
"Do you like it?" asked James, who was mischievously playing with Valerie's body.
"You bastard... Let me go..." hissed Vale, his breath was choked, his heart resisted violently but not his body.
"But you like it, your body doesn't refuse, Vale." James' heavy voice made Vale's body increasingly unable to resist, increasingly enjoying all of James' touch, with compulsion.
Valerie didn't say anything, she could only look at James with hatred, but James increasingly liked it.
"First for you? I will do it with complete tenderness... until you become addicted to all my touches.. Valerie..."
James held Valerie's waist, touching her closer and more intimately, Valerie sighed, growling painfully but full of pleasure, as did James.
James smiled, the man looked very satisfied, as if he didn't feel like he had lost a lot of money for the woman who was now in confinement.
Valerie could only continue swearing in her heart, swearing hatefully at Luke for selling him to a jerk like James.
"I hate this life..."
***
Valerie flew with a body without a single thread attached to her body, covered only by a thick white blanket. His body ached, especially intimately. Valerie remembers how James touched her, Valerie felt herself dirty.
A woman who had dressed him came with breakfast for him. Valerie looked at him sarcastically.
"Clean your body and eat this, you've lost your strength, haven't you?"
"Where is that man?" ask Valerie.
"Company. Don't think you can run away from this place, Miss Valerie. Don't waste your energy anymore," he said, annoyed Valerie.
"You're a woman, but you're so cruel!" Valerie hissed.
"I am just a worker who obeys all his master's orders. Call me Anna, if you need anything, call me." Anna put down a cell phone to call her and clothes that Valerie could wear on the bed, then left Vale alone.
"Mobile?" Vale thought that he could try to contact someone for help, so he could get away from James.
However, Anna, who was already at the door, turned around and looked at Valerie again. "Don't act stupid, don't think you can ask for help. Everything you do, Mr. James will know."
After saying that, Anna really left Valerie and didn't forget to lock the room from the outside.
Valerie was silent, what Anna said was true, James couldn't have done anything good so he gave her a cell phone. Valerie curled up in bed, not knowing what to do with her. Until he remembered Luke, his stepfather who was really very evil.
"That bastard, must be having fun!" growled Valerie.
It's true what Valerie thinks, if Lukas is currently having fun with the money he has. Playing with women, gambling, even getting drunk. Lukas really didn't think about what Valerie's fate would be like, no matter what.
However, when he was with a woman, several men in black suits came to interfere with his activities, the woman with him left him, for fear that something bad would happen.
"Who are you? you bothered me, the woman left me. Damn even though I paid a lot!" lukas growled at several men in front of him.
However, it was not the answer that Luke found, it was the blow that made Luke full of pain. Luke fell on the floor with blood flowing down his face.
Luke doesn't understand why they hit him, is it because of Valerie?
"You guys... Mr. James' men?" lukas asked with a deep breath.
"Mr James?" there was a heavy sound, from an old grandfather, walking until he was right in front of him.
"Who are you?" lukas asked, now he realized that they were not James' orders.
"Where is Valerie?" continued asking.
Lukas just laughed, making the old man look at him with hatred, but he still held back.
"Valerie? hahaha ..." Lukas stood up, looking at the old man sarcastically. "He already belongs to Mr. James, you know, thanks to him I earned a lot of money. Does this old grandfather also want to feel Valerie's body, too bad, Mr. James got it first. You just wait when Mr. James gets bored.
Hearing that, the old man became even angrier, hitting Luke on the head with a stick held by him. Lukas was in pain and wanted to retaliate but two of the old man's bodyguards immediately hit him again, until Lukas could no longer move.
"Find out who James is? And I want you to bring Valeria to me, ASAP!" the old grandfather ordered.
"Who... who is the old grandfather?" Lukas whispered in his heart.
Valerie who could only stay in the room, without someone to talk to. Valerie could only stare at the night sky in the room, the bedroom window was tightly closed, making Valerie feel even more in a luxurious prison cage.
Valerie thought of a way to get away from James, but there was nothing she could think of at the moment, everything seemed deadlocked. No one could be contacted, no one could help him. Even Valerie doesn't know where she is now.
Vale sat on a sofa with a blank look at the sky above decorated with stars, as if laughing at his sad self, hurt by a fate that was never on his side. Valerie finds out about James, a successful CEO with billions in assets, and has rumors that James is a Casanova man who has many women by his side.
Hearing rumors about James made Vale smile sadly. "It's not a rumor, in fact it's a fact. It's just that James is much worse than they know."
Valerie was very curious, how could Lukas have a debt to James, who knows what Lukas had done?
James returned and saw Valerie sitting on the sofa with her blank gaze. James' flat gaze at Vale now turned sharp, angry to see that the food Anna had given him had not been touched at all.
"Why don't you eat the food?" James asked, his voice heavy and slightly raised, as if explaining that he was annoyed.
Valerie didn't answer James' question, making the man even angrier, he stepped up with quick steps, pulling the woman into his arms. "I asked, you didn't answer, don't you understand my language?!"
"Are you human? I don't think so, you don't have a heart, James!" Valerie replied not afraid when she looked directly at James' eyes which were angry with her. "After all... what do you care, if I die, won't you still be fine?"
Hearing that made James laugh and let go of his hug. "That's right, I'll be fine, even if you die! However, you have to remember, you are mine, you are not allowed to die until I am satisfied playing with you!"
Again, James did that to her, Valerie didn't rebel, he let James play with her body. Tears dripped without Valerie realizing it. He felt very humiliated, broken and dirty.
After being satisfied, James stood straightening his clothes, he looked at Valerie's body which was still plain without clothes. However, unlike Valerie's eyes on him, he seemed to really hate James, if possible, Valerie would even want to kill him. However, all of that was only his weak determination. Valerie does not have the power to avenge James, destroying his life, just as James destroyed her.
"You have to take good care of yourself, you even have to start being nice to me, if I'm happy, you will get a lot of benefits from me," said James as if he wanted Valerie to accept his destiny, to be one of his mistresses.
"I'd better die just kill me, James!" Valerie hissed.
Valerie's words made James angry. James strangled Valerie's neck, his eyes turned sharp red, Valerie seemed to challenge him to finish his life immediately.
Valeria, he was not afraid, but instead he settled James' face with a flat gaze, as if waiting for him to be actually killed by James.
"Kill... I..." said Valerie, her breath choking.
James strengthened his hand grip on Valeria, but then he let go. Pulling Valerie's body pushed her to the floor, hitting her, then listening to her.
"Arghtt..." Valerie screams pain.
But hearing the scream made James laugh, as if Valerie's sick scream was a beautiful song for him.
"Is this what you want? Just dreaming that you could die easily, I won't let you die, Valerie. Once again you challenge me, you will get more than this!"
James left Valerie in pain, her body covered in bruises from James' blow. Valerie sobbed, her tears burst. Why did this bad fate have to happen to him?
Valerie looked at the glass filled with water on the table close to him, she stood up slowly, took the glass and broke it.
Valerie took the broken glass, sobbed again, not knowing whether what she was going to do was right or not, she just didn't want to continue living in the confines of a cruel man like James. Even though it had only been a day, he had already been in a year of cruel hell.
If Valerie died this time, he hoped that no other woman would suffer the same fate as him. But on the contrary, if he had the chance to live, he promised to shatter those who had hurt him to pieces, repaying their treatment with great cruelty, like what James had done to him.
"What's the point of me living, if I'm just a lowly woman?" Valerie laughed sadly at her miserable life, no one would worry about her, and was one of the strong reasons Valerie ended her life.
Valerie scratched the sharp broken glass on her arm, fresh blood flowing down her veins. Valerie closed her eyes, she was ready to die, and free from her life despised by James' touch.
Valerie gave up on her life...
