Chapter 2

They were my father and twin brother, after all.

That was why when my father told me to attend a dinner with him for school, I agreed without hesitation in my last life.

"The people attending the dinner will decide if you come or go. You can't offend them. Remember to treat them nicely.

"This school is giving you an opportunity because you had good exam results. Remember to present yourself well during the dinner, understand?"

I looked at my father intently and replied with expectation.

"Yes, Dad. I'll make sure to grab the opportunity."

The dinner ended well, and I thought I could continue going to school.

"Go home first, Zara. I have further discussions with everyone. I'll be home later.

"Don't forget to go to Mr. Sander's house. He's the principal and you should spend time with his wife when you can."

"Alright, Dad. I'll go home first."

I went home excitedly as I looked forward to continuing my studies.

The next day, I looked at the luxurious mansion in front of me with trepidation. I was worried Mrs. Sanders would not like me. I might end up losing my chances with school.

However, I worked up the courage to enter the house.

The door opened before I even knocked.

"You're here, Zara. Come on in!

"Take a seat and have a drink. Just wait a little. Mrs. Sanders will be down soon."

"Thank you, Mr. Sanders."

I sat on the sofa with a glass of water as I waited for Mrs. Sanders.

It was an intense pain that woke me up from unconsciousness.

Larry was on top of me when I said with fear.

"What are you doing, Mr. Sanders? Don't you know raping someone is against the law?"

The pain got increasingly unbearable. It felt like I was being torn apart. I struggled with everything I had, but it was pointless.

It was the pain in my wrists and my sensitive sense of touch that informed me I was chained up on all four limbs. I was lying naked in bed with my hands and legs tied to four corners of the bed.

I looked around. The bed was in the middle of the room. Not far from me were metal cages placed next to each other. Every cage contained a shivering, undressed person.

They were seated inside with a numbed look. No amount of screaming from me evoked any reaction from them.

"Hah! Against the law? It's my law that counts in this place. Be a good girl and you won't suffer."

Larry thrust hard into me after that.

All four of my limbs were immobile. All I could do was squirm, but it did not do any good.

I watched the shoulder moving in front of me and bit it as hard as I could.

"Bitch! How dare you bite me!

"You'll regret what you did."

He thrust into me again. However, this time, he choked me while thrusting crazily into me.

I had no idea how long it went on before he finally got off my body.

As I thought I could finally find relief, I suddenly saw him coming toward me with a leather belt.

The next thing I knew, I felt my flesh break out, bleeding with every whip he gave me.

He lashed at me again and again as my flesh was torn open by the whipping.

I passed out from the pain but woke up again from the same pain. It went on like this several times, and Larry finally stopped when he got tired.

As for me, I was almost dead. I could no longer fight him back.

"Come on. Bite me again. I bet you can't move anymore."

I clenched my teeth and spat out at him.

"Just you wait. Once my dad realizes I'm missing, he'll call the police."

Larry laughed out loud like he had just heard a joke.

"Your dad? Call the police? Hahahah!

"I bet you don't know this, but your dad sold you to me.

"Hahaha! He sold you for 500 thousand and a place in my school for your brother."

"No! I don't believe you! I'm his daughter. He won't do that to me," I roared with disbelief.

"If you don't believe me, just look at who this delighted man is."

Larry took out his cell to show me a video.

The people in the video were smiling happily. Have they forgotten about me?

"It's not like that. They just have no idea that you're holding me captive."

"Aren't you naive? Don't you recognize who is talking?"

He began playing the recording.

"Nope. It at least has to be 800 thousand. My daughter has the potential to be valedictorian. The reward she receives will be far more than that."

"Your daughter isn't worth that much. Don't forget I've given you a place in the school. That's worth a lot.

"Don't be greedy. I'll give you 500 thousand at most. Otherwise, we can call this off."

"Alright, alright. I'll take the 500 thousand but you need to enroll my son in your school."

I could hear my father's anxiousness and happiness from the video.

"Do you believe me now?

"Say something!"

He slapped me when I did not give him any reaction.

Somehow, it did not feel as painful as before.

At the very least, it was less painful than the pain I felt in my heart.

I had always known my father preferred a son over a daughter, and I had never thought of snatching any love away from my brother.

However, it never occurred to me that he would sell me off over a school place.

Since I found out no one was coming for me, I started to find different ways of escaping.

I would be beaten up even worse than before every time I got caught. It was not only to punish me but also to warn the others not to escape as I did.

However, it did not stop me from trying to escape.

That was until I failed for the umpteenth time.

Larry finally could not take it. He gave me a horrible beating.

After that, he gave me to his precious son, a large German shepherd. He fed the dog aphrodisiac.

I was tortured a whole day and night before I gave out and died.

That was when I thought I was finally released from the pain.
