Chapter 10"ARE you sure about this, Sir?" That was Russel's question when I instructed him to pick up Sabiana from my house.I know what Russel is thinking. He's afraid that the same old nightmare might happen again, and this time to Sabiana. The nightmare I'm referring to was Henrieta."I am sure. Fetch my girl, Russel. She'll be okay," I assured him. "There's nothing for you to be worried about."He nodded before confidently turning his back to me. I stared at his retreating figure, carefully observing his steps. I feel fortunate that aside from my father, someone else in my world cares deeply for me, like a younger brother. I also understand why Russel has a hard time finding a woman to date or take seriously—it's all because of our work.Once Russel left, I returned to the work on my laptop. I couldn’t afford to leave it unfinished right now. Dad wants me to personally send these emails to our clients instead of leaving the task to the secretary. I suddenly paused, remembering w
"Sabiana!" A harsh voice startled me while I was scraping the last grains of rice from our container.It was strange, considering I had just bought rice yesterday, after working a side job at the Montebello mansion. I put up with Senorita Claudia's rough attitude just to put food on the table for my two younger siblings, but how bitter it is to have nothing to cook once again? How am I supposed to feed my siblings? Where did the rice go? Was it stolen? By whom? My salary is gone. Papa took the little money had saved for our basic needs, like the food we eat. I was hoping he wouldn't touch the food meant for my siblings, but here I am, left with barely a fourth of a cup of rice in our storage.I looked over at the canned goods. As far as I remember, I also bought eggs and sardines. It's all I could regularly afford to feed Bambi and Bamba, and now it’s gone, too.How frustrating!"Sabiana!" Papa shouted.I looked toward the kitchen door, which was only covered by a green curtain. His f
1SabbyMy eyes widened as numbers flashed on a digital screen. They glowed in red after a series of loud buzzers sounded. I even felt colder now that I finally realized that the bidding was almost over.Somebody just won a virgin. God, please help me. I think I just want to die right this moment.The noise was deafening, and I almost covered myself with my arms. I was nearly naked—wearing a thin, golden-colored pair of panty shorts, paired with a gold-colored bra. Everything on me was gold, right down to my shoes.Gold confetti showered down from the ceiling, a signal that they had chosen me—a virgin woman lusted after by men. What's so special about a virgin? It’s bewildering.I glanced around, crying. The stage was intensely bright, enclosed in glass. It felt like I was in a cylinder, unable to see anything but the red buttons lighting up each time a man placed a bid on me. As for the people, there was nothing but darkness outside this cage.I looked up at the numbers displayed abo
Chapter 2I swallowed hard.I didn't see anyone inside the helicopter like I'd expected. I thought I'd see some old pervert. Two men dressed in black brought me here, and all that I could do was lift my feet to get on board. My nerves were almost sky-high. Why? Because this was my first time riding helicopter in my entire life. couldn’t tell where this anxiety was coming from. It was overwhelming. I felt like I'd almost lose my breath at any moment. I grabbed the handle with my trembling hands, feeling like my knees could give out at any second."W-Who is about to sit beside me? I am scared!" I blurted out as soon as I sat down. I already felt dizzy even though we were still on the ground and hadn't lifted off yet."Just relax, Miss Sabiana. I'm just delivering the money to Miss V,” one of the men said, but it did nothing to ease my nerves, my fear.I felt like my vision would arken any moment. I watched as the man left, carrying an attaché case. He didn't take long. He returned quick
Chapter 3 Lennox I snapped back to reality when I realized how long I’d been staring at the unconscious Sabiana. It’s been so many years, yet I still carry the pain of losing her mother. My wealth never brought me happiness. In my world, everything is filthy. I live in hell—that’s the truth. I never wanted this woman back in my life, yet here she is. How did she end up in my place? Her foolish father sold her. That thought made my jaw clench. Sabiana is mine now. Federico will never take her away from me again. I have better plans for her, and I no longer need to think twice about it. “Bring her to the grand room,” I ordered. The men immediately moved to carry Sabiana upstairs. I turned back to the window, inhaling deeply. “Young master,” Helen called me, and I glanced at her briefly. “Do you have any orders for the girl?” I shook my head. “No. Wait until she wakes up. Just prepare the clothes she’ll need.” “They’re ready, young master. All the clothes you purchased hav
Chapter 4 A large, handsome man. That’s what I’m seeing right now, standing in front of me, leaving me stunned after bumping into his massive frame. Is he one of the bodyguards of the man who bought me for fifteen million? From what I’ve seen, that rich man truly has the means to spend lavishly, even on a woman with no experience like me. This house looks like a palace, and earlier, I couldn’t figure out where to escape. When I finally found the gate, a group of men arrived, and this guy was one of those I saw in the garage. I snapped out of it when his gaze swept over me. I blinked rapidly, resisting the urge to wrap my robe tighter around myself. “Are you lost?” he asked in a deep voice. Deep, but not like it came from the depths of the earth. His voice was beautiful, as striking as his appearance. “If you’re lost, I can lead you the way—back to your room, Sabiana.” A chill ran down my spine when my name slipped from his lips. It’s infuriating to think that I’m in a pla
Chapter 5AFTER I finished eating, Manang Helen escorted me to my room. I was even more amazed at how grand and enormous this house was, especially since earlier, when I woke up, I immediately ran outside, thinking I could escape."I've prepared the water for you, Ma'am. You can take a bath now. Your clothes are also ready."Clothes? How do I have clothes here when I didn’t bring anything except the ones I was wearing? Confused, I simply nodded at her."Thank you," I managed to say.She smiled slightly before turning away, leaving me to heave a deep sigh. I knew they understood what I was here for. It was embarrassing to think about, but what could I do? I never wanted to end up here in the first place.I stepped into the bathroom and pushed the slightly ajar door open. Even the bathroom was ridiculously luxurious. The toilet looked like some kind of digital device. There was even a small pool, which Madam Claudia called a jacuzzi. The water was already prepared, as Manang Helen menti
Chapter 6I turned away after staring at her for a while. She's still asleep, while my phone keeps ringing in the pocket of my cotton shorts. Grabbing my clothes, I turned to leave. I didn’t even care that I was completely naked.Sabiana is no longer just my daughter now. With what happened between us, I finally got the relationship I wanted. I am now her lover, and whether she likes it or not, she has no choice but to accept it.I am her unwanted lover, perhaps.A clever woman, she accepted my offer for her sake and the sake of her siblings. I didn’t even know she had siblings. Most likely, they’re her father’s children. Once I was out of the room, I answered the call from my right-hand man, Russel.“Russel,” I snapped immediately. “It’s way too early to call. It’s only four o’clock.”“I’m sorry, master. We’ve caught the thief who stole the jewelry you wanted us to find.”“Start questioning him.”“He’s not talking. Maybe it’s better if you handle him—you might intimidate him into con

Chapter 9I fell onto the mattress beside Sabiana, completely drained after six rounds of sex. The pullout method had worked perfectly—my semen was smeared on her buttocks, lower back, and abdomen. The bed was soaked."Is… is that really safe?" Sabiana asked, her voice uncertain as I tried to catch my breath.She was staring at the ceiling, her own breathing deep and labored."Yes," I said. "I’ve used it before with my ex-wife."Her eyes snapped to me. "Ex-wife? You were married?""EX-wife," I emphasized, making sure to stress the "ex." "We divorced more than 15 years ago. Don’t worry—you’re not my mistress," I said, glancing at her."Not that I’d have any say if I were," she replied, her tone sharp. "You bought me, so what right would I have to refuse this arrangement?""Hmn," I hummed, shrugging. "Fair point, but I’m not married to anyone now. I’m single—no one’s going to cause you trouble.""So… who was your wife? Is she still alive?""Yes. We’re still on good terms. We’re like cas
Chapter 8"BE responsive," I added right away.Sabiana nodded and turned to face me. I could tell her movements were forced, but she was trying her best to be obedient. I immediately kissed her lips, and she responded without hesitation. I was about to pull down the strap of her dress when I suddenly remembered that I didn’t have a condom.Damn. I have to stop.I leaned closer to her ear as her lips slightly parted, tilting her face upward toward me."I don’t have a condom," I whispered, barely suppressing a smile against her ear.She nodded when I looked at her face but quickly avoided my gaze. "L-Let’s just wait," she said hesitantly, but I shook my head."I can pull it out."She looked up at me again, this time with a startled expression."W-What do you mean, pull it out?" she asked, her eyes wide with genuine innocence. She wasn’t pretending; her face and the look in her eyes were entirely sincere."Lie down," I instructed her. "I’ll show you."Sabiana hesitated at first but event
Chapter 7I immediately followed Lennox downstairs, trailing behind him like a loyal puppy as he headed straight to the dining room. I followed him inside.The household staff, smiling warmly, exited the room after setting the table.He pulled out a chair for me. I felt awkward and avoided looking at him. Embarrassment still lingered because of what happened last night. I couldn’t put it into words, but it felt like he had kissed every inch of my body. I couldn’t do anything to stop it. Even if I wanted to resist, I couldn’t. I couldn’t say no to anything he did. He owned me—every inch, from the tips of my hair to the ends of my toes."Let's eat," he said.Nervously, I glanced at him for the first time this morning. I wanted him to discuss whatever he needed to talk about before eating.I caught a glimpse of his outfit—a white polo shirt with a dark blue collar. It suited him perfectly. His slightly flushed cheeks stood out, even though his skin wasn’t that fair.When he sat down, he
