I am aggrieved. All of these... What is going on? Haven't I been a good child to you, my lord? So why are you making me suffer this way? Why...? Where are you...? I can't feel you... Please come to me... Please save me... I can't take this anymore...

*Ding~*Dong~*

“!” Someone's here. I wipe my tears quickly. But I'm sure my face is tearstained. But haha, why does that still matter?

“Please wait a moment—!”

“Good evening, Lucy,” the man in a black formal suit softly smiles at me. He is hiding a bouquet of red roses behind him. My heart leaps a bit— No. I'm not charmed. I'm scared— It's Mr. Ian!

I close the door immediately. I couldn't think, I just did.

“Wait! Lucy! Ahhh!” He uses his arm to stop the door from being closed. “I am not here to hurt you.. Aaahh... Let me apologize... I was wrong..”

”No no no... Please stop it... Please leave!” He can't be here for good reason. The lord is making everything fall. I don't want anything else... Please leave!

“Aaaah! LUCY! You'll break my arm! Please!” He is in great agony. “Wait— I have a great news for you..”

“I don't care.”

“It's about your grandmother!”

“!”

....and so just like that, I am now in a cafe. I don't remember what just happened. I am suddenly here. I am dressed causally though. I couldn't even put on a make up... I am way too distressed.

“Haha. You're gorgeous even without make up. In fact, I like this natural beauty. You should stay this way.”

“.............”

“Sigh.. looks like you're disinterested.”

What am I even doing here? I should be saving Binary... I should be looking for another job. What am I... doing here..?

“Don't worry... I am not angry. I'm sorry for what I did last time. It's because I was hurt. The pain stimulated me. And I'm afraid you'll leave me so I had to take a drastic measure.”

By what? By making me and my little sister fight? You bring nothing but trouble. I should have dealt with you from the start.

“Tch... Let me apologize to your sister—”

“Enough!”

“!”

“Just when do you plan to let my grandmother undergo surgery? I know you're delaying it on purpose.”

“I.. I am not doing that... Trust me—”

“As if I can! Just tell me what you really want... I want all of this to end as soon as possible.”

“.............”

“Speak...”

“.............”

“.............”

He's just looking at me with an amused expression.

“..ah.. ha.. haha..”

“What's funny?”

“No no. Nothing is funny. I'm just surprised.. Were you always like this? Aren't you supposed to be timid— demure?”

“I... It's none of your business..”

“Hmm. Haha. Though, can you really go against me, Lucy?”

What does he want to say?

“You're acting bravely despite your grandmother under my care. Are you just acting tough? Like your stupid patient?”

“Don't bother him.”

“Why? Have you fallen for him? That's not good, Lucy. You're mine after all. I BETTER NOT SEE YOU WITH ANOTHER MAN!” He made me flinch. The people around us turn to look. “Ehem. Anyway, I hope you understand. I'm the one with power here not you.”

I gulp. My anger... My grief... I can't feel them anymore. I'm beginning.. I'm beginning to be afraid again. What the hell am I doing? I can't fight him. What if something bad happens again because I'm acting stupid? No... No.. I can't let that happen...

“Hmmp. That's more like it. I don't expect you to love me... I understand why... But don't you dare go against me.. I'll kill you and everyone around you.”

“! No... I was just emotional.” I'm drenched in cold sweat. My legs feel cold. My back is bringing chills all over my body.

“I prefer you being meek like this... Very hot.”

“.............”

“You asked me what I want? Fine. It's pointless to pretend now. I don't love you Lucy. As if. There's just one thing I want with you...”

“W-what..?”

“Tch. Judging by your expression, you already know. Yes! In the end, I just wanted to fuck you... Like rough. I mean real rough.”

“!” I stand up instinctively.”

“Sit down..”

“No...”

“Sit down!"

“!” I obey. I am afraid. How do I even escape from this? Can I even escape? What about nanay? What about Binary?

“Well, I'm not evil. I'll pay you aside from what I promised about your grandmother. Just be my personal fuck slave.”

“! That's — No— I—”

...I'm scared...

“Shut up. Let me finish.”

“.............”

“As my fuck toy, I can call you anytime and anywhere I want. We will do it anywhere I want. I'll do whatever and however I want to your body. You will be mine until at least, let see... Ah. A year.”

“NO!” I can't help but scream. Every word he speaks, my heart clenches. Every second feels like eternity. The future... The future is dark. There's no hope in that place... A f-fu— an object to relieve lust? I am not that! I don't want that! What would be left of me? Will I still even be called human if I get treated that way?

I run away. I am sprinting as fast as I can. I need to go somewhere safe. Where is safe anyway? Where do I go? The hospital? He will be there. My home..? No! Binary may be there... She might come home today... Where do I go? I need to hide. I can't fight him.

“!”

I need to go to the police station. They'll help me! That's for sure.. Besides, my lord is here! What do I fear? Nothing is more powerful than he is. He helped the Israelites through Moses. He split the ocean for them. He will save me. This is just a test— That's right. This is to give me back my courage.. That must be it— so FIGHT! Keep running. Just go to the police station! I'll be safe ther—

*Smack!*

“Mnng..”

Ah. What happened? Why am I on the road?

“Fuck… gasp… Fuck you! I'm so exhausted... Goddamn you!”

“Ka-huh!” My stomach hurts.. Ah. My cheek hurts.. What happened? Wasn't I running? Who..?

“Fucking bitch... You’re bringing me trouble. Why are you playing so hard to get? Don’t you know I’m just playing along with this cat-and-mouse chase of yours? You're nothing but a nurse. If j wanted to, I could just have sent my lackeys to kidnap you and your fuckin’ sister! How dare you defy me?! I had enough of this. Just be fucking be obedient!”

I-

It's Mr. Ian.

—!!

No! I have to get away.

“Where the fuck are you going? If you don't stop, I'll rape you right here right now!”

R-rape..?

“Nooooo! Let me go! LET ME G-wwwwoh!” I bite his hand. I had to because he was about to grab my chest.

“Aaaah! Bitch!” He punches me in the face. I’m getting dizzy. I fell down and hit my head on the floor. It hurts! I... I need to fight. Punch him— Kick him. Just fight! Why can't I move? Stop crying and move, Lucy!

“I knew I won't be able to persuade you. Good thing I bought this... This is quite expensive you know. Inhale!” He covers my face with a cloth. It's making me even more dizzy. I don't like this! I need to fight before I lose my strength. “Hahahahaha. Stop struggling. This will make you feel very hot very soon. After I fuck you the first time tonight, you'll be an obedient slave. I don't think I will even need to keep your grandmother my hostage anymore. Don't worry hahahaha, I'll take care of your family. So just be mine!”

I'm losing consciousness. I think this is my fate. My lord.. have you forsaken me? Is this my punishment? Why do I have to experience this?

My mind fades into the darkness. But.. who is that girl behind Mr.... Ian...? A demon? Or an angel..?
