"Who is she, Papa?" Shareeza repeated the question she had already asked twice before.Sebastian led Shareeza into his temporary study at the villa because he needed to continue the work that had been interrupted earlier. Fortunately, Shareeza didn’t pout and was willing to cooperate, even though his little girl kept talking to him."She’s one of my servants, sweetheart," Sebastian repeated his previous answer."She works for you?" the little girl asked, her voice filled with suspicion that Sebastian could clearly hear. He frowned for a moment but then nodded again."Really? She’s just your servant? She’s not your girlfriend?" Shareeza’s question took Sebastian by surprise."Girlfriend? Why would you think that, sweetheart?" He wished he could see his daughter’s face—to figure out what kind of expression she was making. Was she pouting or laughing? Did she look adorable or perhaps a little annoying? Unfortunately, that was just wishful thinking because his eyes were completely blind.
"What kind of tree is that?" Shareeza pointed at a large tree standing on one side of the villa's yard."A mango tree?" Alethea replied with a question of her own. She tilted her head back to examine the tree's leaves. Since it hadn't borne any fruit yet, she couldn't be certain, but judging by the shape of the leaves, she guessed it was a mango tree."It hasn't grown any fruit yet?" Shareeza asked curiously."Maybe it's not the season," Alethea responded."When is the season?" Shareeza kept asking questions Alethea didn't know the answers to. Should she look it up online? The thought crossed her mind, but she quickly dismissed it—Helen had confiscated her phone when they arrived at the villa."I don't know, Miss," Alethea admitted. That was the only answer she could give. Shareeza pouted but didn't say much else.As instructed, Alethea was now responsible for watching over Shareeza while her employer had returned inside the villa after lunch to continue working."What about that?" Sh
Alethea quickly wiped down the old car tire with wet wipes before drying it with a clean, dry cloth. Once she felt it was ready to use, she gently lifted Shareeza and positioned her comfortably."My feet can't touch the ground," Shareeza complained, staring at her shoe-clad feet."How about I push you from behind?" Alethea offered. She knew she couldn't just do it without asking for permission first—she didn't want to overstep.Shareeza nodded enthusiastically. "Push me high!" she commanded."I can't do that. It's too dangerous. I'll push just enough," Alethea replied, gripping both sides of the tire, which served as handles. She pulled it back until she felt it was enough, then let go, sending Shareeza swinging high enough to make the little girl squeal with excitement."Again! Higher!" the girl pleaded. Alethea pushed again but refused to go any higher than she deemed safe.Shareeza's loud laughter reached Sebastian's ears. He furrowed his brows, focusing on the sound. Curiosity gna
Sebastian entered his office first, and only after that did Alethea follow. The room was dark, as if it hadn't been used at all, even though Alethea knew for a fact that before she went to Shareeza's room, her boss had still been working.Did Pierre turn off the lights, thinking Sebastian was done working?Alethea fumbled around, trying to find the light switch when suddenly, Sebastian spoke."You did it on purpose, didn't you?" His tone was sharp, almost accusatory.Alethea stopped searching for the switch and turned to look at her employer, confused. Even though the room was dark, the light from outside the office was enough for her to see Sebastian's tall, broad silhouette standing in front of her."Did what on purpose, sir?" she asked, puzzled."Telling Shareeza the story of Beauty and the Beast." Sebastian's voice was cold. He stepped closer, making Alethea feel nervous and afraid again, instinctively inching backward—ready to escape if he did something irrational like before."O
Sebastian once again opened the study door without fumbling around—something a blind man would normally do—making Alethea suspicious that his blindness might be fake.Behind him, Alethea stood frozen, watching how confidently Sebastian walked toward his room. Five steps away from her, he stopped and turned his head slightly to the right before asking, "What are you doing? Why aren't you following me?" His question made Alethea swallow hard in panic, and she quickly adjusted her steps to follow behind him.The thought of having to help Sebastian put on his sleepwear, just like the other night, made Alethea's heart pound wildly. Cold sweat formed on her skin, forcing her to clench the sides of her pants tightly.Will he be as harsh as he was yesterday? Alethea wondered anxiously. But she immediately shook her head, trying to push the unpleasant memory away.No. Nothing bad will happen tonight. After all, Sebastian had just given her a book and asked her to read it, right? That meant thi
As Alethea walked toward the back area of the villa where her room was located, she saw Helen and Pierre standing there, gazing at the pitch-black sky."Sir?" Alethea called out to her employer, curious about what they were doing."Has Miss Shareeza gone to bed?" Pierre asked."Yes. About an hour ago," Alethea answered honestly."An hour ago, but you're just getting back now?" Helen glanced at her wristwatch, which she often took off while cooking."Mr. Sebastian asked me to read him a book," Alethea replied truthfully."A book?" Helen and Pierre frowned in confusion. Alethea nodded."What book did he want you to read?" Alethea mentioned the title but had forgotten the author's name. She noticed a mocking smirk on Pierre's face."What is it, Sir? Is something wrong?" Alethea asked, puzzled."No. I just remember that book. It's usually read by lonely people," Pierre said. And those who crave affection, he added silently."Do you want to rest?" Pierre asked. Alethea nodded."Go ahead, b
Alethea nodded. "Same here, I'm also scared of thunder. That's why I don't go anywhere near it," she said playfully, making Shareeza giggle."A lot of people have died from being struck by lightning," Alethea continued seriously. "That's why if you see lightning, you have to hide.""Lightning is just as dangerous as a kidnapper. So if you see it, you need to hide right away and go inside the house. Don't run into an open field or go near a pole. Stay away from tall trees, and definitely don't go into water, like a swimming pool. You have to remember that." Alethea looked at Shareeza, waiting for her response.Shareeza nodded. "But don't hate lightning too much, because it also has its benefits.""Really? Like what?" the little girl asked curiously."Lightning can purify the air by killing germs and can also serve as a natural source of electricity," Alethea explained.Shareeza just made an "O" shape with her mouth in understanding."So, if you're inside the house, you don't need to be
Alethea was still shaking her head and rebelling. Asking to be released but Sebastian was clearly not going to do her bidding."Your own fault for coming here." Sebastian whispered in Alethea's ear as he squeezed her breasts quite firmly.Alethea shook her head. Crying silently as Sebastian twisted the tops of her breasts which stiffened as if responding to his touch. "You've signed a contract with me and that means you have to do whatever I tell you to do including satisfying me on this one." Sebastian said and the man managed to slip out of the oversized T-shirt Alethea had been wearing and made it a point to tie Alethea's hands above the girl's own head."Sir, please..." Alethea pleaded with both hands tied to her own sweatshirt. She again tried to push Sebastian away but the man's head was already lowered right above her breasts.The tip of Sebastian's tongue licked her peak, making Alethea involuntarily moan softly before his warm lips hungrily sucked on her breasts."Aaahhh..."
"Call a doctor here immediately," Sebastian ordered as he made his way to his room, noticing that Pierre had neither taken any action nor given any instructions."The nearest hospital is forty-five minutes away, Sir. And they're not your personal doctors whom you can summon whenever you want. If you want her to be examined, we'll have to take her there ourselves," Pierre replied in his usual flat tone."Then let's go now," Sebastian said, about to turn toward the door, but Pierre blocked his path."We'd still have to wait in line, and that would take a long time.""Then what do you suggest? Didn't you say she needed to be examined to find out why she fainted?" Sebastian snapped."Actually, I don't need a doctor to figure out why she fainted. But if you insist on having her checked, I already instructed Andrea to call a paramedic before telling him to take Alethea to her room," Pierre answered, still with his composed demeanor. The man was clearly much calmer than Sebastian, who couldn
The throbbing in Alethea's head turned into dizziness, causing her vision to blur. The increasing heat of the sun and the pattern in front of her made her feel nauseous.She placed her drawing pencil down and stopped coloring. Choosing to close her book, she noticed Shareeza looking at her with a puzzled expression."What's wrong? Are you bored?" Shareeza asked, surprised.Alethea smiled and shook her head but immediately regretted it as it made her head feel like it was spinning. Shareeza observed Alethea closely, then pulled out some tissue and handed it to her."You're sweating. Are you hot?" the little girl asked, looking at the thin cardigan Alethea was wearing.Alethea wiped her forehead with the tissue Shareeza gave her, but Shareeza had misjudged. Alethea wasn't hot; she was actually feeling a chill, and the sweat on her forehead was cold sweat, not the kind from heat."I'm going to get some water. Do you want me to bring you something from the kitchen?""Can I have some juice
"How did you sleep last night?" Sebastian asked, trying to distract himself from thoughts of Alethea. "Did you have a bad dream?" he inquired, wanting to know.Shareeza shook her head, but since she knew her father couldn't see, she answered him aloud. "I didn't dream of anything.""Then what did you dream about last night?" Sebastian asked again."I didn't dream about anything," Shareeza replied innocently. "From now on, I won't be afraid of rain or thunder anymore," she added confidently, which made Sebastian smile."Where do you want to go today?" Sebastian asked again, curious."Nowhere," Shareeza answered casually. "There's no place to play here," she continued, enjoying her bread. Her tone wasn't bored or annoyed, and this made Sebastian frown.But Shareeza wasn't wrong. This place was really isolated. There were no stores or playgrounds. The only thing Shareeza could do was enjoy nature. Meanwhile, Sebastian didn't know what to play or where to take Shareeza, as he himself had
Alethea took a deep breath, a single tear slipping down her cheek against her will. She wiped her face roughly and shouted, "Thank you!" toward Helen, who had already returned to her cooking. Then, picking up her plate, she began eating her meal.By the time the clock struck six, Alethea made her way to Shareeza's room. Taking another deep breath, she opened the door, trying to steady her emotions.No matter how much she hated Sebastian for what he had done to her, Shareeza was just an innocent child. She didn't deserve to bear the burden of her parents' mistakes."Good morning, Miss," Alethea greeted softly as she switched on the bedroom light and walked toward the bed. She placed a small, heat-resistant mug filled with warm water on the nightstand, right beside the fairy tale book she had read the night before. Then, she sat on the edge of the bed, gently running her fingers through Shareeza's hair."It's time to wake up, freshen up, and have breakfast," she said as she pulled back
Alethea woke up feeling exhausted. Every fine hair on her body stood on end. She felt feverish, her head throbbed with pain—all because she had spent hours crying under the shower last night.She sat up from her bed. It was clear she hadn't been able to sleep all night, tormented by thoughts of a future that seemed bleak."Will I ever be able to get married once I leave this place?" That was her first worry."Would any man accept me, knowing I am no longer a virgin?" That was her second."Should I deceive my future husband and pretend I'm still pure? But if he finds out, what will he do? Will he divorce me in a matter of days, thinking I'm a woman without dignity? Or should I just admit I'm a widow? But would he even believe me when I don't have a divorce certificate?"Her conservative mindset only fueled her anxieties, keeping her awake through the night. She feared the uncertainty of her own future."Can someone die just from losing their virginity?" Alethea asked herself.She wonde
Sebastian repeated the same process on Alethea's body. He was fondling her body but this time he had freed the bonds on Alethea's hands and allowed the girl to move more freely. Although he couldn't see the expression on her face, Sebastian was certain that Alethea was already intoxicated by his touch. The virgin girl didn't even rebel when Sebastian ran his fingers over Alethea's womanly center and knew that she was already wet again.Not wanting to waste any time, Sebastian takes off his pants so he and Alethea are now both wearing nothing."S-sir..." Alethea was wide-eyed as Sebastian's cock, which she had once seen wither, was now fully erect and of a size Alethea couldn't describe."I've satisfied you, now it's your turn to satisfy me." Sebastian said and the man's hand touched his own manhood and guided it to Alethea's womanhood.Even though he couldn't see, Sebastian was sure that his male instinct could still guide him to achieve satisfaction. Sebastian realized that Alethea
