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

"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

“Sir, don't. Please...” Thea sobbed in fear as she pushed Sebastian's sturdy body again. Yet again, her efforts were completely fruitless.“They want me to touch you.” Said Sebastian, who had managed to unbutton Alethea's uniform and pull it open until Alethea's stomach was exposed. “They want me to ravish you.” Sebastian continued in Alethea's left ear while the man's right hand rubbed Alethea's belly and continued upward under her bra until the man's big hand reached Alethea's round and firm breasts and squeezed them.“S-Sir... please... don't...” Alethea pleaded with tears in her eyes. But again Sebastian ignored her request, the man deliberately rubbed and squeezed Alethea's breasts until Alethea could only shake her head in fear and kept trying to push Sebastian's body away.“They think I've gone numb.” Sebastian whispered this time in the hollow of Alethea's neck. The man kissed and licked the neck with the tip of his tongue which overwhelmed Alethea and made her feel even more

"Whatever the job is, I’ll take it. The important thing is that I can get out of this place and earn a good salary," Alethea pleaded to her childhood friend, Callie. “It’s not that easy, Alethea. I can’t just give you a job, especially one that takes you abroad,” Callie replied with a sad expression. “I have to make sure you get a good job and a decent employer. I don’t want you ending up with someone cruel or abusive. You have no idea how ruthless some rich people out there can be. Someone as naive as you would be easy prey for them,” Callie said, trying to calm her down. It wasn’t the first time Alethea had begged Callie—her schoolmate and the daughter of the owner of a labor placement agency—to help her find a job abroad or at least one far away from the small village where they lived. Alethea was desperate. She wanted to get away from her family—not because she didn’t love them, but because she was exhausted by her mother’s constant demands. She was tired of being both the scap

Alethea wasn’t a money-printing machine. She was just an ordinary girl in her early twenties. Compared to her peers, she had already sacrificed so much. She refrained from buying things she wanted, eating food she liked, purchasing clothes she desired, or even hanging out with her friends—all so she could fulfill her parents’ needs.It wasn’t that Alethea was stingy, nor that she didn’t want to be dutiful. She simply couldn’t keep up with her parents’ constant demands, especially those of her mother.She wasn’t exceptionally smart academically, though she was diligent in her studies. Her parents’ hope for her to pursue education through scholarships didn’t align with reality. In the end, she didn’t earn scholarships for academic excellence but instead became a student receiving aid because of her family’s financial struggles.Ashamed? No. Alethea understood her parents’ situation and accepted it, even though she was often looked down upon. She knew she couldn’t attend extracurricular c

"I haven’t been able to sleep lately," Sebastian said to Aaron Smith, his psychiatrist. "Can you increase the dosage of my sleeping pills?"Sebastian couldn’t see the expression on the man’s face—the man who had been his confidant for the past five years. Instead, he furrowed his brow impatiently and turned his head toward where he assumed Aaron was sitting."I can’t increase your dosage, Mr. Tarcisio," Aaron replied. His voice sounded tired to Sebastian. "You know the side effects of sleeping pills aren’t just limited to overdose. There are other risks that could endanger your health.""But I can’t sleep, and that’s enough to put me at risk. And just because I’m blind doesn’t mean I don’t need to distinguish between day and night, right?" he snapped."I know," Aaron said, his tone slightly louder, as if trying to calm himself. "You don’t need to keep bringing up your blindness because it’s not going to cure your insomnia," Aaron retorted sharply."Then what am I supposed to do? The me

"You said you’d do any kind of work?" The question came from Callie, Alethea’s best friend, whose mother owned a staffing agency. "Yes. Did you get the latest update from your mom?" Alethea asked eagerly. They were deliberately talking in the kitchen in hushed voices because Alethea’s mother and younger sibling were watching TV in the living room. "I did," Callie replied, equally enthusiastic. "It’s a job with a very tempting offer, and you wouldn’t have to go abroad because the job is in the capital city. Plus, you don’t need to spend a dime on documents like work visas or anything." Callie’s tone was filled with excitement. "What kind of job?" Alethea asked, eyeing Callie suspiciously as she washed vegetables at the sink. Despite feeling exhausted after just getting home from work, cooking dinner for her family wasn’t something she could skip. If she refused, something would surely be thrown at her, and the pain from that would outweigh her fatigue. "My mom said it’s a caregiving

"Her name is Alethea Zorba. She’s twenty-two years old. She’s hardworking and patient," Callie explained, letting the phone’s camera capture Alethea from head to toe. "I’m confident she’d be perfect for taking care of someone who’s ill, just like you need."Alethea stayed silent as Helen switched the call back to voice mode."Does she have any actual experience caring for the sick?" the voice asked. Alethea shook her head in response."Not formally," Callie interjected. "But she’s very patient and has experience taking care of ill family members.""That’s fine. Even if she doesn’t know anything, I can train her," Helen said firmly. "Our terms may sound unreasonable, but as you know, we’re offering a fantastic salary." Her tone grew more direct. "And in addition to what your friend mentioned, we have a few extra requirements: we need someone meticulous, patient, and not overly talkative. We want someone obedient, someone who doesn’t ask too many questions or make too many demands. Rest

"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
Bound By Duty, Captivated By Love 32 – Shareeza
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
Bound By Duty, Captivated By Love 31 - Alethea's Thoughts
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
Bound By Duty, Captivated By Love 30 - Remember
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
Bound By Duty, Captivated By Love 29 - Your own fault
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..."

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

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
