2022-12-13 15:03:41["Someone came to me a few hours ago and said he was your brother."
That was the explanation she received from Rose after she was dumbfounded by the woman's sudden question when she was about to leave the office.
She looked confused, but she managed to answer, “I'm the only child in my family, boss. I don't have any brothers or sisters.”
It was the most honest answer she could give the woman sitting behind the desk. In her family, she only lived with her mother because her father died a long time ago due to illness. Even her mother was now hospitalized, and she sure didn't have any siblings at home.
"But that guy looks pretty sure he's your brother," Rose replied. “He even insisted that you use an alias now, and he also said that your real name is Elena. More than that, he also foolishly said that I had kidnapped you and said that he would report me to the police because of that.”
Vivian was even more confused after hearing her boss's next explanation. "Elena?" She parroted. "I've never heard that name before, boss. And you know that I currently use my real name, right? You said all the girls here need to use our real names because you're too lazy to remember alias and real names, and that's why I've been using my real name since two years ago. Don't you believe me?"
There was fear in her heart that her boss didn't believe her. She knew her boss was the cruel type who really hated it if someone dared to lie to her, and that was why she honestly explained everything to the older woman.
She didn't receive an instant reply from the older woman, but then she could hear how the woman sighed heavily before saying, "Maybe he mistook you for someone else, or he's simply just a scammer." She once again picked up her cigarette and no longer looked at the young girl. “You can go home now, but if you run into that freak outside this place, I won't be held responsible.”]
That was the conversation between her and her boss before she left the brothel, and that was another thing Vivian didn't like about this place. Once a prostitute left the building, her boss wouldn't be held responsible if anything happened to her, and that was why it was practically unsafe out there.
However, Vivian had been doing this job for two years, and nothing had happened to her after she left the brothel building, and that was why she only nodded at her boss before finally stepping out of her office.
She had her jacket on to cover her upper body, but her thighs and legs were exposed, and that was why she was immediately greeted by a chill as soon as she stepped out of the building. All she could do was tighten her grip on her jacket, and she walked away from the building.
When she arrived at the alley next to the building, she was surprised when a man suddenly blocked her way. No, it wasn't actually a deserted alley since quite a number of people were passing through it, and that was why Vivian had never encountered any danger in the past two years when she passed through it.
But tonight her steps were suddenly blocked by an unknown man, and she felt wary as she silently observed the man's appearance. The man was not very tall, maybe only two or three centimeters taller than her when it was written on her profile in the catalog that she was 170 cm. The man's hair was short and curly, and he had a fairly wide face that somehow didn't match his short stature.
But, Vivian knew that this was not the right time to judge the man's appearance when she suddenly heard the man speak, "Why are you pretending to be someone else, Elena?"
This was Vivian's second time hearing that name, and she frowned before replying, “So, you were the one who came to our boss and threatened her that you would sue her for kidnapping me? I think you mistook me for someone else, sir. I'm not Elena, and you should look for her elsewhere.”
Vivian was exhausted, and she also felt uncomfortable all over because of her intimate activities with her customer tonight. Her sweat and the man's sweat stuck to her body, even the dried sperm was still around her inner thighs as she only planned to clean herself up later at home.
She lived fairly close to the Red District. Even if she just walked to her house, it would only take her less than ten minutes, and that was why she didn't bother cleaning herself up in the brothel, thinking that it would be better for her if she could leave the place as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, an obstacle stood in her way tonight, and she assumed that the man was indeed the weirdo her boss had previously mentioned.
And even if Vivian had tried to explain the actual situation to the man, it seemed the man had turned deaf as he smirked before replying, “It would be impossible if I failed to recognize my little sister. Even if you've cut your hair short, your face, your eyes, your nose, and your lips are still the same, and that's why you can't fool me, you stupid girl.”
The man said that she cut her hair short? What kind of bullshit was that? In recent years, she had been comfortable with short hair, and that was why she stuck with it instead of letting her hair grow out. Hence, she knew that the man had mistaken her for someone else.
However, before she could reprimand the man once more, the man suddenly opened his mouth again to say, “Just because you refused to marry an old man, you ran away from home. Don't you think you're too stupid, Elena? The man may be old, but he is very rich, and you can get everything from him if you marry him. So, just go home now, and I'm sure you'll be happier with that mountain of money that you will have later."

Money? That was, of course, Vivian's priority for now.Two years ago, her mother was diagnosed with brain cancer, and even though the cancer was still stage 3 at the time, they needed a lot of money to start treatment. It was a bit late to find out the disease, and the doctors said that at that stage, the brain tumor was already malignant and progressing faster than stages 1 and 2.The doctors also said that stage 3 brain cancer could actively produce abnormal cells that could spread to other areas of the brain, and that was why Vivian decided to give up her dream to continue her study and start working to earn more money for her mother's treatment.At that time, she was actually a freshman at a university, but she decided to drop out and start working in Ladder to Paradise without her mother's awareness. Yes, her mother only knew that she worked for money, but she didn't tell the woman where she worked.For more than a year, any money Vivian earned would end up in the hospital for he

She arrived at the hospital at 2 am. Normally, visitors weren't allowed into the hospital at that time, but Vivian's case was different because she knew a lot of people in the hospital. Since her mother received treatment at the hospital two years ago, she had managed to establish good relations with the doctors, nurses, and even security guards. Thus, she gained access to the hospital even though it was almost dawn now. The security guard knew that she only had time to visit her mother during that time. They didn't know what job she had, nor did they want to pry into her private matters. They only knew her as a good daughter who always made time to visit her mother even though it was late at night. Vivian laughed at herself as she imagined how those people thought she was a good daughter. In fact, she was far from good as she even lied to her mother about what job she had, but she also had no other choice but to lie to the woman. What kind of mother

Vivian only needed to work in Ladder to Paradise at night. If that was the case, why couldn't she visit her mother in the hospital during the day? The reason was, she had another job as a waiter in a cafe during the day. Was it because her salary from the brothel was too small for her? In truth, she was receiving at least $600 a night from the brothel, but she could only save up to $100 at most to prepare for her mother's surgery. The reason behind that was that her family was in huge debt since her father was still around. At that time, her father was sick, and the medical expenses were very expensive. In the end, they had no choice but to take a big loan, and until now, the debt had not been paid off. Apart from that, Vivian also had to pay for her mother's daily medical expenses and also the wards. And let's not forget about how she and her mother were only renting the house, and that was why they still had to pay rent. Coming with the rent were an electricity bill and a water b

The brothel had a locker room that the prostitutes could use to get ready before they spent the night with the customers in the Love Room. Yes, the room on the second floor was named "Love Room" by Rose. It was strange to talk about love in a place like this, and there was definitely no love between prostitutes and their customers even if they did all the intimate activities in that place. The name of the rooms was indeed lame, even the prostitutes cringed at the name, but they dared not voice their protest because it was indeed their boss who had the right to do anything in the place she owned. Before going to one of the Love Rooms upstairs, Vivian needed to prepare herself in the dressing room. She heard from her boss that her customer would be coming to Love Room number 13 in less than an hour, and that was why she was busy preparing herself now. Why did it have to be number 13? Even if Vivian wasn't the type to believe in lucky and unlucky numbers, she somehow had a bad feeling

After she entered the room and sat on the edge of the bed, she immediately put on the black blindfold to cover her eyes. In instant, she could only see blackness even if the room was quite bright tonight. It was actually quite terrifying when she even needed to cover her eyes with the cloth when she didn't even know what kind of man she would be serving tonight. Alexa did tell her that men asking her to wear blindfolds didn't necessarily mean he was into BDSM, but she was still nervous as her hands clenched her mini dress tightly. She was indeed wearing a dress that only covered half of her thighs, even the kiss marks she got last night were still clearly visible there. Sometimes she had picky customers, and they scolded her when they saw the traces of another man left on her body. But, what could she do about it? Her customers always liked to leave marks on her body, and she couldn't do anything about it because she had to work every night before the marks could fade. The sound o

Vivian was subdued by the kiss, and without realizing it, her body was pushed against the bed, and she couldn't get away because the man directly trapped her from above. She had to admit that the man was a good kisser. The way she played with both her upper and lower lips drove her crazy. At first, the man was gentle and she almost felt drugged by him, but then he became more aggressive, and it seemed like the man was a hungry tiger that couldn't wait to taste its delicious prey. Vivian even parted her lips to let the man explore her mouth more. Their hot tongues met in her mouth, and her whole body shivered. How she couldn't see the man's face only added to the strange desire within her body. Somehow, the more she felt curious about the man, the more she felt she needed to be touched and enjoyed by him. And not only was the man's mouth continuing to work, but his hands were starting to explore all over her body. At first, Vivian could feel how the smooth palms b
Last Updated : 2022-12-16I'm a Prostitute, Not a Substitute 15. THE MAN WAS NOT MUTE
His mouth stopped moving, and it seemed Vivian had a chance to steady her breathing. There had indeed been no movement, and since she couldn't see anything at the moment, she didn't know what kind of reaction the man would make after hearing her question. Did the man look angry or perhaps irritated? Vivian had absolutely no idea, and that was why she could only frown as she waited for the man's answer. The one thing she could be sure of was how the man was still above her judging by the hot breath that brushed against her exposed chest. Yes, her chest was still exposed, and even if she couldn't catch a glimpse of it, she was somehow certain that the twin mounts would glisten under the light because of the man's saliva. Suddenly, she felt embarrassed at the thought, but then she screamed out in pain as she felt a hard bite on her right shoulder. "ACK!" She couldn't see anything, and that was why she didn't see it coming. Instead of verbally answering her, the

The man said that suddenly pinching her clit was punishment, but Vivian didn't completely agree with that as she also felt pleasure from the pinching. Was she the type of masochist who could still feel pleasure in between pain? She wasn't even sure, but she suddenly anticipated what the man would do next. An unexpected whisper had come to her ear just a moment ago, and it was barely audible that she wasn't sure if she would be able to recognize the man's real voice if she had the chance to hear it again. That was also the only sentence spoken by the man, and he was no longer trapping her with his body at this time. Vivian indeed no longer felt the weight above her, but then she could hear the sound of something made of plastic being ripped apart. Hearing that, she could only tighten her grip as she could predict what would happen next. She looked nervous and anticipated at the same time when she could hear the rustling sound the man was making. Even i

A name. It was not just a group of letters used to address someone so they would turn to the caller and not ignore the caller. A name had a deeper meaning than that. A name was used to identify a person, used to distinguish someone from other individuals. A name would always stick with a person from the time they were born until the day they last breathed, and even at their final resting place, their name would also be written or engraved to let everyone know that the body buried underground belonged to the owner of the name. A name was indeed an important part of one's life, and that was why one would not feel happy if someone called them by the wrong name. Perhaps that was also the reason why Vivian had returned to wearing a wedding dress today. It was still the same wedding dress she wore months ago when she officially became Steen's wife, but because she was using someone else's name then, she and Steen decided to have another wedding ceremony to announce to everyone that it was

Their next stop was the penthouse at the Golden Roof Apartments, and it might also be their last stop. Only three people entered the penthouse after Elena was sent to her family's residence. After Lily and her family were arrested by the police, the house was empty, and that's why Elena lived there temporarily. Yes, only temporarily because Elena planned to move after finding a suitable place to live. Vivian had actually invited her to move in with her and Sarah in the small house, but Elena rejected the idea, saying that she didn't want to disturb the two of them and that Sarah might be uncomfortable if she joined them to live in the cramped house. Vivian said that Sarah wouldn't feel that way because that woman also wanted to meet Elena and wanted to live with her too, but Elena still resisted the idea. In the end, Vivian only said that she would try to find a bigger house, and if that could happen, the three of them might be able to move in together.

Someone was standing in the middle of the mansion's stairs. With teary eyes, he looked at the people standing in the living room one by one. His eyes were not only filled with tears, but the two of them were also filled with fear and confusion. He looked lost and lonely even if he wasn't alone in the big building. Maybe the adults in the living room kept talking about Stanley before, but they probably forgot that the kid was also in the mansion the whole time, and they also weren't aware of the possibility that the innocent boy had heard everything from the second floor. But maybe Steen was aware of the possibility, but he simply didn't care at all. That was why he looked away from the boy before saying, "Let's go." Both words were aimed at Vivian and Elena, like how he had suggested the three of them leave the mansion immediately. But neither Vivian nor Elena moved from their positions even after hearing the order, and they both focused their

Steen somehow could not directly answer his father's question this time. He was still grinding his teeth to suppress his anger, but no words could come out of his mouth at this moment. Recalling the disgusting memory, he remembered how he did not find any used condoms in the hotel room, and it was easy to tell that he had done it without any protection the night before. He wasn't even sure if it was because he couldn't think straight when he did it or maybe it was Kate's intention, but he was sure there weren't any used condoms in the hotel room at the time. He wasn't stupid, and that was why he could see the possibility of her being pregnant after they had a such activity that night, and it was also the reason why he hated that kid called Stanley so much. Even if he didn't try to find evidence that Stanley was indeed his son, he could see the similarities the boy had with him, and it had the power to terrify him. Because of that, he had alway
I'm a Prostitute, Not a Substitute 300. THE DISGUSTING MEMORY
Kate had been dragged from the mansion by the police, and even the man named Peter had also been caught by the police. Hence, only four people were left in the living room after Marlon also left the place. There were only Steen, Stefan, Vivian, and Elena in the living room. Everyone still ignored the presence of plush sofas in the living room as they preferred to remain standing rather than sitting comfortably. They all even continued to stand like statues. Even Steen who previously looked the calmest of them, now looked shaken after hearing what Kate proudly said before being dragged away by the police. "I always knew that the child was not mine," Stefan muttered breaking the tense silence in the living room. “I always knew about it, but I didn't expect the child to be yours, Steen. How are you going to explain it to me? Do you like your stepmother? You have treated her coldly all along, but you even got her pregnant with your child. I didn't expect yo

“Recently, that bitch doesn't dare to touch her phone because her phone is haunted by my mother, right? Ah! Even her fear should be enough to tell that she was scared because she had done something to my mother in the past, but I know that such a thing wouldn't be enough to prove that she was indeed a criminal. That's why I focused on finding something on her phones that were ignored by her out of fear in the past week. On one of her cellphones, I found enough evidence to land her in jail.” When everyone was speechless, it was Steen who continued to speak. Turns out that was his real plan. He didn't plan to pressure Kate so she would kill herself just like his mother did years ago, but he just wanted her to ignore her cell phone so he would get a chance to touch it. Yesterday Kate left the mansion without her cell phone, and Steen took the opportunity to look for more evidence in the cell phone. Finally, he found what he was looking for in one of her cell phones.

"SHUT UP! DON'T TALK NONSENSE IN MY HOUSE!" Kate immediately shouted at Peter, but even her voice sounded unsteady as she looked nervous as hell. Her voice was shaking, her pupils were trembling, and even her breathing was ragged. All eyes suddenly fell on the blonde woman, and it was finally Stefan who opened his mouth to respond to the woman, "Are you sure what he said was just nonsense?" Stefan also looked surprised after hearing what Peter had just said, but he still had time to ask the woman that question. At this moment, the woman no longer glared at the kneeling man, and instead, she stiffly shifted her gaze to Stefan. Stefan was her husband, and he was known for his strict and assertive personality. Many people were afraid of him, even Kate was afraid of him before they got married years ago. But today she somehow looked scared again when she had to face the old man even if the man was her spouse. “D-don't listen to what that

Steen had revealed everything. He had disclosed how Vivian and Elena were actually part of a family living far away from Haston City, but Elena was kidnapped by Lily and her husband two decades ago. At that time, the twins' parents died in a car accident, and little Vivian was found by a couple after the incident, and she was raised by the couple into adulthood. Steen deliberately did not mention how Sarah had purposely taken Vivian as her daughter instead of returning the child to her relatives, nor did he mention the name of the family Vivian and Elena came from. He didn't think that the information was necessary, and that's why he kept it a secret. And maybe Stefan really didn't need that information, and the story Steen had just uncovered had shocked the old man enough. His pair of eyes widened as he looked at the twins, but he still didn't say anything as he still couldn't overcome his shock. Steen could see how his father was stunned by

It was Marlon who had just entered the mansion, but this time he was not alone. His hand was holding another person's arm, and that person's hands were tied with a rope behind his back. After arriving at the living room, Marlon forced the person to kneel in front of the five people. One person looked confident after seeing the person's appearance in the living room, while three other people looked shocked and confused, then one person looked scared as her eyes widened when she saw the person who had just arrived in the living room with Marlon. "So, he's the person, Marlon?" It was Steen who looked confident upon seeing the person's arrival in the living room, and although his question was directed at Marlon, his eyes were glued to the figure kneeling in front of him. “Yes, sir,” Marlon immediately answered his boss's question. “His name is Peter Ford, and he works in a bar in town. He's the one who posted that anonymous article about you, sir.”
