Prologue

She kept on running without knowing where to go, asking for help but no one was around. Her whole body was soaked with sweat and tears dripped from her eyes.

"Dowajuseyo! Please help me!" she trembled.

The place was too dark but the moonbeam caught her beautiful face that was struggling to escape from the perils of death. Her long maxi dress was becoming filthy and her feet were covered with mud as she ran through the crummy brook. She realized she was at the boulder torrent going to the forest.

She was getting weak and almost out of breath.

 She could barely walk her legs.

"Help, please help me...Save me..please!" she continued pleading, while tears freely ran down her cheeks.

She was feeling helpless, but she continued her way though unsure of where she was heading to.

Suddenly, the moonlight in the sky was replaced by forked lightning and roaring thunder,  prompting that a heavy downpour was coming her way. Drizzles already touched her skin but it was nothing compared to the depression and melancholy that were settling in. 

Heavy rain poured down in a moment and her body was totally drenched.  Her feet were frozen and she could not even move them, so she bent down and struggled to crawl towards the lush trees. She was gasping her breath as the horrible scene flashed back in her mind.

It was a joyous and beautiful evening for her as she celebrated her eighteenth birthday. The villa was filled with people from all walks of life. Being the only daughter of a business tycoon, she was given everything except her freedom. She could not go out without a bodyguard and even going out with her friends was strictly prohibited. She did not know the nature of his father's work and even her mother had no idea about it. She was only told that everything her father did, was for the family.

She thought she would be completely happy that evening, but everything went downhill when unknown people, wearing masks barged in. These people just waited for their visitors to go home when they entered the villa. Gunshots pierced the air, claiming the lives of numerous bodyguards. Escape seemed impossible, but she and her mother managed to hide themselves somewhere.

Min-su-yah, nae ttalgwa anaeleul guhala! (Save my daughter and wife)," her father shouted to one of his trusted men.

Kim Min-su immediately obeyed and took first her mother out of the villa through a secret passage, while she was following behind.

"Min-su-yah, palli ga! (Go quickly)," her father's rattling voice. But in just two seconds, the man, wearing a black mask pointed a gun at him.

Bang! Bang!

Gunshots rang out.

She wanted to scream, but another bodyguard covered her mouth while her tears welled up in her eyes.

"Appa, appa! andwe (Dad, dad, no!)," she softly sobbed.

They continued their way, dragging her out until they reached the gate of the villa. The bodyguard told her to quickly get inside the car, but suddenly a man wearing a black bonnet grabbed her, while the second guy was pointing a gun at the second bodyguard, commanding him to pull the driveway.

Until they reached a place that was not familiar to her.  She noticed it was an abandoned building that seemed to be these men's hideout. She strained to catch a glimpse of their faces, hoping she would recognize them, but only their eyes were exposed and the rest of their facial features were covered by black bonnets.

"Jeohante mueos-eul wonhasinayo? (what do you want from me) If you want money I can give you. Just please let us go!" she pleaded while tears continued to flow from her eyes.

The men remained deaf to her pleading, instead commanding her to get out of the car.  But her bodyguard was too quick to make his move and mustered all his strength to grab the pistol and enforce the defense for her to get out of a man's grip.

"Dallyeojuseyo agassi!! Run and get out of here!" the bodyguard shouted as he took his gun out of his leather jacket.

She did what was being told to her. She ran as fast as she could, taking off her heels and throwing them somewhere.

Until she heard a loud bang, followed by another one...the third and the fourth. She turned around and since she wasn't too far from the place, it remained clear in her vision how the bodyguard stumbled down lying dead on the ground.

Her whole body was shaking with fear and all she could do was sob as she continued to run. She knew they were chasing after her and they would not stop until they would carry out their evil plans. She was just hoping her mom was able to escape from these evil men.

The rain continued to pour down and even though she hid under the lush trees, her body got soaked by the heavy rain.

Until someone grabbed her, and there was no way she could get out of his strong grip. She tried to fight, but what was her strength compared to a man?

Everything went blurry and the next thing she realized was that she was lying on the soft bed. She had no clothes and all that was left of her were her bra and her undies.

She tried to look around and only a man's back caught her eye. The man was sitting on the couch near the window, exposing his bare back with an eagle tattoo on his left below his shoulder.

When the man felt that she had regained consciousness, he slowly turned around and faced her.

A great shock engulfed her upon seeing the man's face.

"You?" she exclaimed.

"Yes, it's me, and you'll have to pay for what your father did to my family!" the man said furiously, unbuckling and taking off his pants.

"No, I don't believe you! My father is a good man! And what you are saying is not true!" she shouted while tears dripped from her eyes.

"Isn't it enough that you killed him? You worthless people! Shibal shikya! (you're son of a bitch)," she shouted again.

Despite her resistance, the man persisted, forcefully capturing her lips.

She struggled to free herself from his grasp, but she didn't have enough strength to fight him. The man was just like a savage beast, poised to consume her without mercy, ready to tear her apart.

The man pinned her hands on the soft bed and started exploiting her body. Her lace bra was torn out, revealing her two lovely tits.

"Na hante ileoji ma! Jebal!!! (Please, don't do this to me)," she softly pleaded while tears continued rolling down her cheeks. However, the man remained deaf to her plea and continued claiming her lips and kissing her neck until he sucked her nipples.

The man has gone wild even more and pulled off the last piece of clothing she had on her body. And when his hardcore penetrated her, she was excruciating in pain as this evil creature kept on coming in and out of her.

She refused to let her eyes shut, determined to instill this man's face into her mind. She vowed to seek revenge until her very last breath. She promised to ensure victory when their paths inevitably crossed once more.

"I hate you!" she said softly. But the man didn't seem to hear anything and continued thrusting his hardcore inside of her. He claimed her lips again, nibbled her ears, licked her neck, down to her chest, to her thighs, leaving her a red mark anywhere on her skin. Until he took his moves for his forceful entrance again, causing her to shriek in pain. He was thrusting her in deep strokes, in a circular motion, while claiming her lips, her body, her soul, until he reached the peak of his evil plan. The man was gasping for his breath after releasing his last load into her. 

She was caught in a profound silence while tears streamed down her face. The night that she thought would be filled with joy and excitement had unexpectedly transformed into a harrowing experience of desolation.

She was totally ruined.

Her gaze fell upon the man once more, whose facial expression was brimming with fury.

"That's not enough to pay for everything your father did to me and to my family!" he shouted angrily.

"And even if I kill you now, your life is still not enough!" the man shouted and pointed his gun at her head.

"P-Please d-don't k-kill m-me. Please let m-me live!"  her voice cracked.

She was completely weak, and could not even lift a finger. All she could manage was to close her eyes and no longer care if they remained shut forever. 

The world around her became hazy and she had no idea what would unfold next.
