Jennifer’s POVWhen the door opened, it was the middle-aged woman who lived next door. She handed me a package and from the smell; it looked like food. To be honest, it smelled so good that it made my stomach churn.“Thank you. Please come in,” I said.“No need. I just wanna give it to you. Bye and good night,” she answered as she walked away. Before closing the door, I noticed that the surrounding houses had all turned on their lights and it seemed like they were all eating dinner. Only a few men were walking past the house, some of them smiling and nodding their heads. I guess this fishing village wasn’t bad. It’s just that we need Sam.After dinner, we lay down on the bed. The sheets smell nice and the place was spotless. Maybe the middle-aged woman probably cleaned this house often.Long story short, a week had passed. We spent a lot of time inside the house because I was too scared to go out and socialize with the villagers. However, after the middle-aged woman who lived next to
Samuel’s POV“Ok, I’m ready to listen,” I replied. My heart was beating quite fast. I couldn’t wait to hear the good news that Chief Taylor was about to deliver.“Mr. Harris, you must have heard about the black van that was used by a group of criminals to kidnap your wife and two children. We’ve identified the van’s police number and we have the owner’s name. Last night we went to their base, but unfortunately, the head of the gang escaped. So, we could only arrest his girlfriend and men. They are now at the police station and will be investigated soon. If you are not busy, I hope you can come here to see the investigation process. Is what I said clear enough?” Chief Taylor asked.“Yes, it is clear enough. Thank you for your help. I’m not busy today, so after breakfast and everything is done at the mansion, I’ll rush over there,” I replied.“Ok, let me know if you’re on your way here. I’ll get ready right away. Is there anything else you want to ask?” he asked.“No. Thank you, Mr. Tay
Samuel’s POVI got into Mr. Taylor’s car and led the chase for Stacey. She was reckless. She took Deasy with her. That’s the same as jeopardizing her child’s life. What was her actual intention?The chase scene continued. We traveled a road that was getting more and more difficult to navigate. The left side of the road was a ravine, while the right side of the road was a high hill.The car Stacey was driving got faster, and Mr. Taylor stepped on the gas pedal. This was crazy. I was afraid something bad would happen until what I thought happened. The car Stacey was driving lost its balance and went off course.At one point, to avoid a collision, Mr. Taylor ordered his men to avoid and stay away from Stacey’s car for a while but still be prepared to catch the woman without hurting either of them.However, unfortunately, the car driven by Stacey was moving more and more erratically and crashed into Mr. Taylor’s car. And at that moment all I remember was my head hitting the dashboard of t
Jennifer’s POV It took just one day for my life to take a hundred eighty degrees turn towards disaster. Two big men gripped my hands, leaving bruises on my arms. I tried to free myself with all my might, but to no avail. Tears ran down my cheek, and I begged for mercy from them. “Auntie, please don’t do this. As long as you don’t do this to me, I will do anything for you.” I still hope she would change her mind and these two bodyguards didn’t take me away with them. My body was shaking and sweating. I felt my world collapse. ‘Who are they? Why is she doing this to me?’ Aunt Linda walked closer to me while smiling. And I just realized that the look in her eyes differed from the usual look. My heart was beating quite fast, my palms sweat cold. Fear haunted my feelings and thoughts. She stood right in front of me, saying, “Do you want your uncle to die? If you don’t want him to die, then go with Mr. Jason.” When she gave me a choice, it was like standing at the end of a wooden plank
Samuel’s POV After a long search finally, I would meet her soon, in a few minutes. I have prepared several sheets of documents that would take her out of that dirty world. Hope it would work. ‘Please allow me to make amends and give you a good life, Jenny. Sorry, I found you late. If only I had found you sooner, you wouldn’t be end in the brothel and become an escort.’ I was very nervous waiting for her arrival. I kept wondering what she looked like, how she looked. Was she living well? Was she treated well there? I honestly didn’t want to imagine anything bad happening to her. My heart was beating pretty fast. I poured the wine a few times and then finished it in an instant, just to help me overcome my nervousness. For the first time in my life, I felt like this, like a groom waiting for a bride to arrive at the altar. Not long after, I heard several pairs of heels hitting the tiled floor. I hastily downed the rest of the wine in the glass and put it on the table, then sat back a
Jennifer’s POV “Your job is to give me an heir to strengthen my position in my extended family,” He answered, gazing at me. Many questions swirled in my head. All of this felt unreal. I felt like I was dreaming and hope someone woke me up. ‘Is he sure he wants to have children with me? I am a whore. His wealthy family would oppose this, and my life would become unsettled. Not to mention having to deal with Jason. He couldn’t possibly let me go so easily. I guess I should explain a few things to him.’ Before answering his question, I walked to the large window near us and stood staring at the enormous garden in the mansion's backyard. “I am not the holy woman that a man wants to marry. Too many men’s hands have touched me. I am dirty and unworthy to be beside you, much less to bear your child. I think the entire world will be against this. Sorry, I turn it down. Thank you for your offer, sir,” I replied in a trembling voice. ‘Being an escort is not what I want. If Aunt Lina hadn’t
Jennifer’s POV “A rich man came to pick you up, intending to get you out of here and then marry you. You are lucky. What have you done to him? What magic did you use? It’s impossible for a rich man who comes from a wealthy family to marry a prostitute? This is impossible, Jenny. We are just tools to satisfy their lust. When they are satisfied, they will dump us. Maybe you are dreaming or are not aware that the magic you used on it will soon evaporate and disappear.” A girl said while blowing cigarette smoke in my face. I closed my eyes and held my breath. I didn’t like the smell of cigarette smoke. Almost all the women at Pleasure Brothel smoke, drink alcohol, and are addicted to cosmetic surgery, so most of them have slightly odd-looking faces. Their faces looked scary under the lights, even though they covered them up with makeup. Seeing their reaction, maybe I should tell the truth because I was not good at lying. When my lips parted slightly to explain a few things to them, Caro
Samuel's POVTwo women opened the dressing room curtains. I saw Jennifer standing facing the large mirror that was in front of her. She wore a red dress with a sprinkling of Swarovski in several parts. Then, she turned around and asked my opinion.When I saw her, I was stunned and fascinated. She looked so beautiful. She had an aura of sexiness that was rarely found in other women.I couldn’t take my eyes off of her, as if she locked my eyes to keep on looking at her. A few minutes passed, and I think the two female employees of the shop noticed that I didn’t respond. They asked, “Mr, do you like this red dress?”To divert the embarrassment, I cleared my throat before replying, “Yeah, the red dress is really pretty. I take the dress. Let her choose some other dresses, shoes, and bags to go with the red dress, then pack them all up.”“Ok, Mr. Harris,” replied the female employee, who looked more senior. Then she closed the dressing room curtains again.‘What happened to me just now?’An

Jennifer’s POVThe car driven by Joe entered a rural area. To enter this village, every passing vehicle must pass through a gate guarded by a fat man wearing a police-style outfit. He looked strange and unfriendly.Then the car stopped right in front of a house that looked dark and empty. Joe and Lisa got out of the car, then four of his men who were sitting with me at the back of the car got out as well, unloading several suitcases and bags of food.“Hey, come on down.” Lisa’s voice woke me from my reverie. I got down first, then one of Joe’s men helped Jean down.Joe knocked on the door of the house next to the empty and dark house. He knocked repeatedly until finally a middle-aged woman opened the door and the two of them had a conversation. I couldn’t hear their conversation. Their voices were too small and the middle-aged woman kept staring at me. Her eyes frightened me.“Mommy, are we going to stay here? I want to go home. I want to be with daddy,” Jean said.“I don’t know. We’l
Jennifer’s POVThe ship we were on was in the middle of a deep blue ocean with high and fierce waves. Jean, who had never been on a ship, was terrified. Luckily, she didn’t get sick, but she hugged me tightly and her body trembled with fear.The ship was moving here and there because of the waves. As far as the eye could see, there was only an infinite ocean and no islands or other ships passing near us. To be honest, I was terrified and imagined a shipwreck in the middle of the deep sea, with no help at all.The man driving the boat gave us life jackets and forced us to wear them, but I could not calm this fear. I was really in two danger. If this ship sank, then no one could find us. Let’s hope that what I was afraid of didn’t happen.When boarding the ship, Leo asked me to go inside the wheelhouse and wait there. The six of them sat outside. The man driving the boat was friendly. He smiled and told us many stories, perhaps to ease our fear of the ocean. However, we were still scare
Samuel’s POVJack hurried off to carry out my request. Simon and I waited for Leo and Alex to arrive.“Sir, please sit on the wooden chair while you wait for your other men to arrive,” Simon said.“No need. I think my body feels better already. Did you find anything?” I asked.“We’re not even looking yet. I’ll look over there.”“Oh yeah, you’re right. Alright, let’s split up to look for clues. Hopefully, there’s something left here that can reveal their identity,” I replied as I walked to the opposite side of Simon.Half an hour passed, and Simon and I had spread out quite far. Simon searched the restroom area inside the food court. While I just searched around the entrance of the food court to the front of the game stands and the reserve exit. I didn’t find any clues.Sweat had drenched my body, my breathing sounded heavy, my heart was beating quite fast and my energy seemed to be lost somewhere. I looked back, hoping to see Simon running towards me with good news. However, I didn’t
Samuel's POV “No, they’re not with me. I thought you had returned home to the mansion, but when we arrived at the mansion, you weren’t there. We were anxious, so we went back to the carnival right away while mobilizing my men to look for your whereabouts because I saw your car still parked in the carnival parking lot. What exactly happened?” Jack asked. “I don’t know what exactly happened to us. But if they’re not with you, then where are they? Help me find them, Jack,” Sam replied. “Yes, I’m mobilizing more people to look for them. I’m on my way to the carnival now. Tell me your position?” Jack asked. “I’m in front of the food court entrance.” “Ok, stay there. I’ll be right there,” Jack said as he turned off his cell phone. Sam put his cell phone back into his pants pocket. Simon, who was beside him, then asked, “What happened to your family?” “I don’t know. If something bad happens to them, then I don’t want to live anymore.” “Don’t say that, sir. They might be somewhere safe
Samuel’s POV“Where’s my cell phone?” I muttered as I reached into my pants pocket until I finally found my cell phone in my right pants pocket. Just like my habit of always putting my phone in the right pocket.Wait! Something was wrong. I hurriedly reached into the back pocket of my pants and my wallet was still intact in the pocket. All debit cards, credit cards, identity cards, driver’s licenses, and all cash were still safe. That means the person or persons who knocked me out didn’t want the money or all these cards. Meaning?Jenny and my kids. Yes, they must have targeted my family. Someone or some group of people. I had to rush to find the whereabouts of Jenny and my two children.Dizzy and aching all over, I tried my best to stand up while leaning against the wall. I observed the surroundings of the back terrace, thinking I knew this place.That morning, it was quiet on the back porch of the building I still didn’t know the name of. There was no one there. However, my memory k
At exactly one o’clock in the morning, I woke up. My throat felt dry. I noticed there was no mineral water bottle in the bedroom. I got up and put on the slippers that they had prepared when we first entered the room. Before leaving the room, I smoothed the blanket Jean was wearing and made sure Nick was asleep.I opened the door slowly while looking outside the room. It was quiet. I guess everyone had gone to bed. Then I closed the door tightly and walked through room after room to the stairs.As I passed a room, I heard a moan accompanied by a woman’s voice asking for help. The sound was strange. At first, I thought the people in the room were having sex, but why was the woman asking for help?My bad habit had returned. I was curious because I thought she might be in danger, even though I was in danger myself. My patriotic spirit returned at the wrong time.I saw that the door to the room was not closed tightly, and I could even see a small part of the situation inside the room, alt
