Chapter 8

He had committed such unspeakable acts—how could he be so shameless?

But Tim had something on me. And sure enough, my phone buzzed soon after with a series of videos from an unknown number.

The lighting in the footage was dim, but it was clear enough to make out what had happened that night at the hot springs. Those two men who hadn't appeared? They had been hiding in the shadows, filming everything—the moments with Lisa and me.

Tim planned to blackmail me, to force me into more of their disgusting games.

I was scared and horrified.

If he sent those videos to my parents, they wouldn't be able to handle it. They were traditional and had raised me with strict morals, constantly reminding me that a woman must be virtuous and that premarital sex was absolutely forbidden.

After starting college, I couldn’t resist the temptations presented by my peers and took a bite of the forbidden fruit. From then on, it was as if I had opened Pandora's box, sinking ever deeper into indulgence.
